Chapter 563 The Clown's Performance

"..."

"..."

"..."

In his life of nearly thirty years, he had never suffered such a vicious attack. After listening to Leon's gentle comments, Prince Andre couldn't help but stop and fell into a long silence.

"Why did you stop? Weren't you planning to take me with you to perform for your parents?"

Looking at the trembling back of the young prince, and listening to the tingling sound of teeth rubbing against each other, Leon couldn't help but smile, and then he said in a gentle voice:
"Don't worry, I'm just a clown with fairly good skills. I won't say anything to your parents. I just do a little trick and some acrobatics and that's it.

After all, the humor of a fake clown like me is only in the juggling of my hands, which can only make your parents laugh at most, while your humor is in your heart, so you only need to..."

"Shut up!!!"

With a sudden shout, interrupting Leon's consolation, Prince Andre turned back suddenly, his face still a little childish but full of ferocity, he said:

"You guessed right. I have to abide by the rules of this world and cannot do anything that goes against my status as a 'prince'. But if you want to use words to provoke me and make me let you go..."

"No, everyone here is talented, I like it here very much~"

Waving his hand to interrupt Prince Andre's words, Leon tied the balloon around his waist, took out four colorful balls from his arms, and smiled as he started catching and throwing the balls with both hands. He even occasionally raised his legs alternately and kept throwing the colorful balls horizontally from his crotch, which immediately attracted a lot of applause.

"Well played!"

"Great!"

"One more! Can you add another ball?"

"Add! You can add anything!"

After replying to the guests who were making a fuss not far away, Leon did not stop his actions. He kept catching and throwing the balls and slowly walked to the open space in front of the open stage. But somehow, the four balls turned into five, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into six.

"Wow!!!"

"Can you juggle six balls at the same time?"

Seeing Leon moving around like a butterfly, even waving his hands with afterimages, the guests immediately stopped feasting and looked over curiously. Some drunk people even started to applaud.

"Pretty!"

"What a great clown!"

"I am over-flattered!"

After catching the ball with a fancy move of alternating left and right hands, Leon pinched his big red nose, bowed to thank the guest who had just praised him, and then said with shame on his face:
“Actually, I’m not that great. In our clown world, there’s a senior named Andre who is much better than me.

An ordinary clown like me can only juggle some ordinary colored balls, but Senior Andre can juggle amazing things, such as knives, forks, bowls, plates, tables, chairs, and benches, he can juggle everything..."

When he said this, Leon turned his head slightly, gave Prince Andre a gentle look, and then lip-synced and added silently:
'Even his dead parents can be used for fun.'

"..."

My biggest mistake was drawing him in!

After personally experiencing Leon's terrifying aggressiveness, Prince Andre clenched his fists with an unpleasant look on his face as he watched Leon walk up to a guest and borrow a few small things from her. He then lowered his head and walked through the guests to find the queen who was watching the performance with great interest.

"Mother."

After reaching out and pulling the queen's sleeve, Andre took a deep breath, and tried his best to put on his original innocent and bright appearance. He pointed at Filia, who was lying among the guests and had fallen asleep at some point, and begged:

"My friend is so tired that she fell asleep. Can you send her home?"

"Okay."

After looking in the direction of Feliya, the queen lovingly touched Prince Andre's head, turned sideways and gave the attendant a few words, then said to the young prince:
"I have sent someone to call Bugs to help you send your friend back... Come, Andre, sit on your mother's lap."

After reaching out her arms and hugging the young boy Andrei and holding him in her arms, the queen gently pinched the soft earlobe of little Andrei and said softly:

"That clown performed really well. I haven't seen such a good clown performance in a long time... Andre? I remember that you really liked watching clowns perform tricks. You even wanted to be a clown yourself before. Why don't you watch it now?"

"I……"

Andre, who had just been severely punished by the "clown theory", now feels uncomfortable just hearing the word "clown", let alone going to watch the clown performance in Lyon. He wishes he could escape from the "Royal Dinner" immediately.

But he was reluctant to leave the queen's warm embrace, and he had not seen with his own eyes Filia being sent out of the "Royal Banquet". So Prince Andre had to be patient and sit in the queen's arms to watch the show like a real child.

Lyon in the distance seemed to have really accepted his new career. He was wearing a pair of bright yellow big-toed leather shoes and walking with a funny pigeon-toed gait, showing the guests in the front row what he had in his hands.

"Everyone, you have seen and touched it. This is indeed an apple. It is not a prop I brought with me."

Following the sharper-than-a-knife gaze, Leon found the location of the young prince. He turned his face towards him and the queen without leaving a trace, then made a nail mark on the peel with his finger, and said with a grin, “Everyone, this nail mark is my proof. Next, I am going to perform a very difficult trick. I am going to turn this apple into…”

"Alas!"

After hearing Leon's announcement, all the guests present immediately started to cheer in unison:
"Boring!"

"That's it?"

"Is it not difficult to transform an apple?"

"Change it, change it! This one won't work!"

"Everyone, don't be anxious. My trick is not just a simple trick of making an apple disappear!"

After raising his hand and pressing it downwards to signal everyone to keep quiet, Leon's expression became serious, he rolled up his sleeves, and said mysteriously:
"Those who can make apples disappear usually hide them in their sleeves or cover them with their arms, but I don't cover my hands, I do it right in front of you, and not only can I make apples disappear, I can even turn them into something else!"

No covering or hiding? Can you turn an apple into something else?

Hearing the secret that Leon was keeping, the curiosity of the guests was immediately aroused. They held their breath unconsciously and stared at Leon's hands closely.

"Everyone, I'm going to start changing!"

After nodding solemnly to the people around him, under the bewildered gazes of the guests, Leon bit into the apple with the nail marks on it and ate it clean in two bites. Then, with his cheeks puffed up, he walked around the venue holding the apple core by the stem, and announced incoherently but with pride on his face:

"Look! I turned the apple into an apple core!"

"..."

"Oh my! So that's how it changed!"

"Alas!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Nervous hahaha!"

I don’t know if it was the [Colored Clown] badge that worked, or if they were really fooled by Leon’s joke, but looking at the proud clown, everyone except Prince Andre was almost laughing like crazy.

However, just as everyone was laughing and making a noise, Leon suddenly bent over with a cry, covered his mouth with a look of pain, and shouted:
"No! No! This apple... this apple!"

Did someone poison me?

Seeing that the magician was in trouble, the captain of the guards, who was about to pick up Filia and send her home as ordered, was startled. He hurriedly threw her back to the ground and lowered his head to run back, but...

"This apple...how did it grow back?"

Amid the panic of the guests, Leon slightly raised his hands that were covering his mouth, then suddenly straightened up and spread out his hands. The apple that had just been eaten into a core was actually lying intact in his palms, and even the skin still had the fingernail marks from the initial pressure.

"..."

"..."

"..."

After a period of silence, the banquet, which was as quiet as if it was strangled, suddenly broke into thunderous applause.

"Wow!!!!"

“It’s still the same apple?”

"Brilliant! So brilliant! I've never seen such a great clown!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for the compliments!"

After bowing to the applauding and cheering guests, Leon said with a grin:
"Actually, these are just my little tricks. If I have to talk about the best, it has to be the clown senior named Andre. He can make more than just apples disappear. He can even make living things disappear, such as chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, pigeons, and even bowls, plates, and horses disappear."

Seeing that Leon mentioned him again, although he didn't hear what Die and Ma were referring to, Prince Andre still couldn't help but tremble all over and glared at Leon with murderous eyes.

The guests around were also aroused by Leon's praise and some of them asked:
"If that clown named Andre is so powerful, why didn't he come with you?"

"That's a long story."

Leon sighed upon hearing this, and then said with sympathy:
“To be honest, the most difficult part of our trick is not making something disappear, but how to make it appear again. Although Senior Andre learned the first half very well, he didn’t understand the most important second half.

One day, he didn’t know what had happened to him, but he lost the most important thing to him, and he couldn’t get it back no matter what he did. He went a little crazy. As for what this most important thing was…”

When he said this, Leon paused again, then turned his head to glance at Prince Andre, whose face was ashen, and smiled as if to say "you know".

"..."

Kill you! I will definitely kill you!!!
