I! Cleaner!

"It seems you should understand what I want to say..."

Looking at the princess who suddenly looked shocked and clenched her fists unconsciously, Leon sighed and said:

“As you just concluded yourself, you and your reformists represent the royal family that ‘want to take back power’, not the royal family that ‘want to make the kingdom strong and ordinary people no longer suffer hardship’.

For the royal family and even the king, these 'reforms' you implement are not the ultimate goal, but more of a means to regain power. The reformists you represent are not actually speaking for the royal family at all. "

"..."

Hearing Leon's summary, Princess Veronica subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about the situation of the royal family, she couldn't help but pursed her lips hard.

Indeed... what I want is never what the royal family wants.

Even among the reforms he implemented, many of them had to be cut off from the royal family. Therefore, although his greatest "power" comes from the support of the royal family, he has never been the spokesperson of the royal family.

"In addition, among the four factions in the capital, the difference between your reform faction and the other three factions is very big."

Looking at the princess's pursed lips that turned a little white, Leon reminded him unbearably:

"Whether it is the aristocracy or the parliamentary faction, they are all speaking out for the class they come from and fighting for the interests of the power behind them, but your reformist faction is different.

Your biggest support comes from the royal family, but what you want to promote and fight for has a great conflict with the interests of the royal family, and is even completely contrary to it. Therefore, your 'basic base' is not as strong as the other three factions. stable.

The reason why there are no problems now is because your main goal in the past has always been to regain the power seized by the old aristocracy, plus regulate business activities to prevent parliament from passing something too outrageous.

This is consistent with the royal family’s idea of ​​taking back power. After all, you are the princess, and the power cake snatched by you is also equivalent to entering the mouth of the royal family, so the royal family has always supported you, but..."

"But it's going to be different after that, right?"

Leaning on the back of the chair a little weakly, Princess Veronica said with a pale face:

"Father... the royal family's tolerance of me is limited to those insignificant parts. Once I try to implement comprehensive reforms and start to divide the cake in the hands of the royal family, the support for me will stop immediately.

This is really... I originally thought that those measures could revive the stagnant kingdom and even become stronger from now on. This kind of thing is beneficial to all the royal families, and they would naturally be willing to support me, but... I thought too easy……"

"That's not necessarily true. After all, I'm just guessing."

Seeing her somewhat lost look, Leon couldn't help but comfort him:

"The measures you implement can make the kingdom's cake bigger. The royal family may still support you, but these things may not happen."

"It's not that it may not happen, it will definitely happen."

A pair of beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and the princess leaned weakly on the back of the chair and said with a wry smile:

"Before you appeared, even though he knew that Joshua was useless, my father... he still wanted to marry me off, and all the targets he chose were people from other kingdoms.

I always thought that he was planning to marry me, who was in charge of the reform, away from me after I encountered obstacles in implementing the reform and the conflicts among the various factions in the kingdom were intensified in order to eliminate disputes and stabilize the chaotic situation. But now it seems that he wants to I'm afraid it will have to be earlier. "

After thinking about the documents she moved home yesterday, Princess Veronica said with complicated eyes:

"If I guessed correctly, my father should be waiting patiently now.

He is waiting for me to implement the election order, complete the purge of the military department, and suppress the influence of the old nobles in the military department; waiting for me to propose a bill to expand the universal suffrage of citizens at the parliament in a few days, and slowly divide it. Power in the hands of big businessmen and prime ministers.

And after I finish these two things and help him solve the constraints of the nobles and the parliament, I can just find a kingdom far away and marry my troubled daughter with my whims, and then everything else will be nothing. Problem. "

"..."

"Haha, there is no family affection, only interests. This is really the style of the royal family."

After looking at Leon who was speechless across from him, Princess Veronica smiled self-deprecatingly and said:

"Obviously as long as we complete the marriage with you, the reform can be fully implemented, but I went to see my father several times, but in the end he did not directly express his position, but was a bit non-committal.

I thought at the time that he wanted to help Joshua become the king, so he didn’t want me to have too much power and give Joshua a chance to struggle. But what I didn’t expect was that he never considered it. As for my daughter, I am just a tool used to clear obstacles! "

"..."

…

Ah, this... I seem to have stabbed Lou Zi...

Looking at the princess with light cyan veins emerging on her white neck and an abnormal blush on her cheeks, Leon couldn't help but open his mouth. He wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say, so he could only say dryly:

"Um...do you want to eat something first?"

"Sorry, I probably can't eat anymore."

The princess, who had always been very emotionally stable, rarely lost her composure this time. After letting out a sad laugh with a white face, she stood up and stumbled towards the door.

Finding that her mood was not right, and even had a hint of a darkening sign, Leon quickly reached out to help her, and couldn't help asking:

"Where are you going?"

"I..."

The princess, whose arm was held by Leon, gritted her teeth, then took a deep breath, pushed Leon's hand away, pursed her lips and said:

"I want to go back and finish what I should do..."

What should I do... What do you mean by what you should do?

Hearing her answer, Leon's heart was suddenly shocked.

Judging from your current mental state, the so-called "what should I do" is not what I said before, to gather a team of guards and rush into the palace, and let your father hand over the throne immediately, and whoever dares to object will be hanged? !

Ah this... I just couldn't help but say a few words to you while waiting for the meal, how could it be a bloody coup?

"This... do you want to think about it again?"

Looking at the princess with three parts of resentment, six parts of unwillingness, and one part of sadness in her eyes, Leon quickly grabbed her and persuaded her incoherently:

"I'm not against you seeking justice for yourself, but can you make more preparations?

If you lead people to attack the palace now, what if you are not prepared enough and fail to beat the palace guards, and are killed by your father? You should at least plan for a few more days!"

"You... what are you talking about!"

After hearing Leon's words, even though she was full of resentment, Princess Veronica still couldn't help but stagnate, then stomped her feet hard, and stared back angrily.

"No matter what, he is still my father. He just wants me to marry far away, not to kill me! How could I do that!"

"Oh, so..."

"..."

Looking at Leon, who let out a long sigh, let go of his arm, and sat back down, Princess Veronica's lips could not help but twitch slightly.

Why do I feel... that I didn't act impulsively just now, and you seem a little disappointed?
