I! Cleaner!

After receiving the queen's order, the two guards hurriedly walked up and, following her order, slammed their shoulders toward the locked door.

I don't know whether it was the strength of the two guards or whether there was something wrong with the door itself. After just two collisions, the machine spring embedded in the door broke with a click, and the three-finger-thick door opened in response.

And because the window of Veronica's bedroom is facing the door, the moment the door is knocked open, the dazzling sunlight shines through the window and directly towards the door, shaking people standing in the corridor. Everyone closed their eyes subconsciously, and then...

"Um?"

Before the queen could open her eyes, a very close questioning voice suddenly sounded very close to her ear. Even the queen's earlobe could feel the slightly cool breath of the other party.

"Why are you here?"

"oops!!!"

Startled by this close inquiry, the queen's delicately made-up face suddenly turned pale, and then she took two steps back. In the process, she stepped on the corner of her bright red skirt and almost fell to the ground. on the ground.

Scared someone to death!

He looked at the princess who was standing by the door with her back to the sun, a strange smile that looked a bit sad on her face, looking at her quietly. After the frightened queen took a few breaths, she probably felt a little embarrassed by being frightened. , turned red in the face, and scolded angrily:

"Are you a dead person? Why don't you make any sound when you walk!"

"Excuse me."

Faced with the Queen's scolding, Princess Veronica lowered her head and apologized with a respectful expression:

"I frightened you, I will definitely pay attention next time."

"..."

Seeing that the princess did not talk back as usual, or even laughed at herself with some witticisms, but instead took the initiative to apologize submissively, the queen standing outside the door couldn't help but froze, and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

After opening and closing her lips slightly twice, she finally reacted, nodded blankly, hummed subconsciously, and then looked at the princess opposite with some wonder.

Strange, why didn't she talk back this time?

Could it be that this confinement made her stay in prison? Or is she now completely resigned to her fate, giving up any plans to steal the throne from my Joshua, and is ready to start pleasing me in order to make life easier after being married off?

But...if she was going to please me, shouldn't she just stay in the house? Why bang things with ping ping pong?

She really didn't want to understand what her stepdaughter wanted to do. After pushing the princess away and walking into the bedroom, looking at the fragments of furniture on the floor, the queen simply stopped pretending and, relying on her status to suppress her, scolded her directly. :

"Don't think that with just a few soft words, I won't cause trouble for you! Why are you breaking things? Are you dissatisfied with your father and I's decision?"

"Don't dare."

After hearing the queen's question, "Veronica" blinked her emerald green glass eyes, waved her arms with burn marks in a panic, and looked at the iron sheet in front of her who was wearing a bright red dress and looked delicate and coercive. The doll said:

"You are my mother and the queen of the kingdom. Your status is much higher than mine. How could I be dissatisfied with you? If you don't let me come out, I really shouldn't come out. It is your right to confine me. ”

"..."

Ah, this, it feels like something is not quite right... Is this what Veronica would say?

Looking at the obedient princess in front of her, the fierceness on the queen's iron face could not help but froze slightly. Then she blinked her ruby ​​eyes, opened her iron lips decorated with ceramic pieces, and said with vigilance:

"Stop pretending, you must have some bad ideas! But let me tell you, it's too late now!

Joshua followed his uncle to the House of Lords Council early in the morning. According to the agenda, the replacement order was already being discussed there. Now even if you run over by trickery, you won't be able to affect the situation. Joshua must have taken over your... ...of the royal family!

Let me tell you, from now on, no matter what you do, the next king can only be Joshua. You should give up this idea as soon as possible! "

"You're right."

After blinking her glass eyes, "Veronica" nodded and said sincerely:

"Joshua is indeed outstanding. I cannot compare to him. No one else can be the next king except him. After all, in terms of character, talent, and wisdom, he is much better than me in all aspects."

"..."

After hearing Veronica's words, the queen was silent for a while, and a flush of anger suddenly appeared on Ironhide's face.

asshole! How can you be so harmful to others!

Even though I was the one who gave birth to Joshua, how could I, a mother, know about his virtues? You, you, you...are you praising him? You're disgusting me, it's like spitting in my face!

damn it! Even if you talk back like before and insult me ​​with a smile, it's still better than praising him so harshly! I won't bring you such a disgusting person!

"You've gone too far!"

After stamping her foot twice in anger, the angry Iron Queen no longer had the time to wonder why the princess was smashing things. She turned around and wanted to leave, but "Veronica" grabbed her arm.

"Where are you going?"

Looking at the angry Iron Queen in front of her, "Veronica" in the room blinked, and then suggested with an apologetic look:

"Did I say something wrong that made you unhappy? Otherwise, I'll give you a gift to make it up to you."

As she spoke, she reached out from the ruins of the shelf and picked out a beautiful doll with a frightened and angry face and wearing thin pajamas. She handed it to the Iron Queen and said apologetically:

"This is the doll I have kept for six years. I give it to you today as an apology to you. You can do whatever you want with it."

"Go away! Who wants your broken doll!"

With a snapping sound, the doll handed over by "Veronica" was opened by the angry queen and fell directly to the floor. A large gap was cut on the shoulder by splinters of wood, and there was blood from the wound. , directly staining a large area of ​​​​the carpet.

But the Iron Queen didn't seem to think that it was strange for a doll to bleed. She ignored the pained doll on the ground and turned to glare at "Veronica" and said:

"I must tell your father what happened just now! Damn it! Let go of your hand and don't drag me!"

After hearing the Iron Queen's words, "Veronica"'s hand holding her arm was bounced away like an electric shock, and she even took half a step back.

However, "Veronica" didn't care. Instead, she hurried two steps to catch up with the queen who was walking away, and said cautiously:

"What's wrong? Don't you like my gift?"

"Well, if you don't like it, just burn her!"

"Mother? Why are you ignoring me?"

"..."

I'll give your grandma a leg!

Suffocated by "Veronica's" yin and yang anger, the Iron Queen suddenly turned her head and cursed angrily:

"You... hmm?!!!"

"Do you have anything to say?"

After using her cold palms to tightly block the queen's mouth, "Princess Veronica" finally showed a happy smile on her face that was missing a small part of it, and then she dragged the struggling queen while happily He smiled and said:

"Mom, the light is not good over there. If you have anything, please come here and tell me.

Although I am not your biological daughter, I am also your daughter! So as long as you can speak out your orders, I promise to obey you in everything, okay? "

"Ugh! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"

Facing the crazy "Veronica" who didn't know why, the queen couldn't help but widen her eyes. While struggling desperately, she begged for help from the guards following her.

However, the guards with the same iron-skinned faces seemed to have seen nothing and continued to follow her unhurriedly. No one came to rescue her.

Even if he was attracted by her moaning voice, at most he would raise his head to take a look, and find that she did not give an order, so he lowered his iron-gray face again, followed the two of them step by step, and continued to perform his duty of protecting the queen.

"Look, mother, the flowers in the palace garden have bloomed. Can you help me pick one?"

After suppressing the struggling Iron Queen, "Veronica" dragged her to an open window, pressed her on the window sill, and then pushed her down with the Queen's horrified look on her face.

"ah!!!!!!!!"

"Thank you, mother, you are so kind."

Looking at the queen who fell out of the window more than 20 meters high and fell to the stone floor of the garden, falling to pieces, "Veronica" couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and smiled. He said to the iron guards behind him:

"Where is my father? I haven't seen him for so many days. I miss him a little."
