I! Cleaner!

Tsk... It seems that I can't fool him anymore.

Although I wish I could delay it a little longer until the old king recovers his human body and dies completely, the princess is obviously a little anxious, so Leon has to give up the plan of delaying time and return the old king's iron head.

"Father? Father?"

After shouting twice and failing to wake up the old king, the princess had to hold the old king's iron head and hurried back to the bedroom.

Fortunately, the iron effect of [King Killer III] takes time to spread slowly when it is activated, and when the effect is lifted, it also needs to be slowly transformed back, leaving her with a gap to save people.

When the princess hurriedly ran back to the study and helped the old king put his head back, the old king's body had not yet completely stopped the iron, and he finally did not die because of the separation of the head.

Phew... Fortunately, I made it in time.

Looking at the old king whose eyelids were still trembling slightly after the head was connected, the princess who successfully saved her father finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and looked at Leon with a complicated look.

Although she was placed in the mirror world by Leon, just like [King Slayer III] could read some of her memories, Princess Veronica, who was turned into a doll, could also see everything that [King Slayer III] experienced.

If Leon had not arrived in time this time, once the ability of [King Slayer III] spread, all the royal family members, including the old king, would have been slaughtered, but...

His malice towards his father was really a bit too great.

Before, he had to tie his father's head to his waist, which could be barely explained as being afraid that his father would be killed and kept by his side for easy protection, but if he hadn't urged him just now, he would probably have kept pretending to be confused until the effect of the abnormal object was completely removed.

And his father and Leon had never even met before. The only reason Leon could have such a big malice towards him could only be because of his own affairs. In other words, Leon did this mostly to clear the "obstacle" for him, and the reason had to fall on him...

It was a headache...

...

"Leon..."

Looking at Leon who noticed her gaze and turned away from her, Princess Veronica could not help but helplessly admonish:

"My father does have many... wrong things, but he is my father after all, and he treated me very well, so no matter what happens in the end, I still hope he can be fine... Okay?"

"Yeah."

After nodding in agreement, Ming Leon, who could no longer defeat the old king, replied insincerely:

"The abnormal incident in the palace is already a dereliction of duty of the local branch. If the king is gone, our director will definitely go crazy, so I also hope that your father will be fine."

"..."

I don't believe you...

Hearing this answer that was one point of truth and ninety-nine points of falsehood, the princess couldn't help but shook her head speechlessly, and simply skipped the topic, and asked with some concern:

"Leon, shouldn't you be in a meeting at this time? How is the parliament? And, where is Joshua?"

Joshua... While you are fighting for your father here, he is probably fighting for his mother over there, so there should be no danger, right?

"Joshua is probably fine. You'll see him soon. As for the parliament..."

After answering Joshua's question, the armed coup was basically successful. Lyon, who was in a good mood, smiled and assured confidently:

"Don't worry, I've settled everything with the parliament. I guarantee there will be no problem!"

"That's good."

I didn't know that the "settled" in Lyon's mouth meant that all the parliamentarians who dared to oppose had been arrested. I thought he was just pushing forward several proposals smoothly according to his original plan.

After hearing that "everything was normal" in the parliament, Princess Veronica couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After the worry in her heart faded away, she couldn't help but hold Lyon's palm, and said with a guilty look:

"Lyon, you have worked so hard these days. I... I'm sorry, I told you so many other things first, even the parliament and Joshua asked, but I didn't ask if you were injured.

Even now, I haven't thanked you yet, thank you for saving me again... Lyon, do you... do you think I'm too much?"

"No."

Shake After shaking his head, Leon patted the back of her hand and answered seriously:

"You are different from me. You have too many things to bear and too many things to deal with. At this time, it is right to confirm the situation first, and it is also what you should do.

Besides, you can see clearly whether I am injured or not. There is no need to ask more questions, and thank you or not. It doesn't matter to me whether you say these words or not."

"..."

Okay...

After listening to Leon's answer, Princess Veronica couldn't help biting her lip, and then sighed helplessly in her heart.

I thought you would say "With the relationship between us, there is no need to thank." or "It doesn't matter. People always like to care about those close to them last." The result is this answer...

...

"Hmm..."

Just when the princess reluctantly held Leon's palm back and was about to say something else, the iron-clad palace finally returned to normal, and the iron on the old king's body completely faded away, and he opened his eyes in a daze.

"I... what am I doing?"

"Father..."

Looking at the old king who was curled up in the wheelchair, with his straight back hunched down, looking old and helpless, Princess Veronica called out and then pursed her lips and fell silent.

The old king came to his senses, moved his body a little, and suddenly his eyes became sharp. He stood up from the wheelchair, stared at the princess and asked:

"Why are you here? Where is Joshua? What do you want to do?"

"..."

Good fellow... I used to think that Joshua's annoying temperament came entirely from the queen, but now it seems that your father also contributed to it!

Listening to the old king's three questions in a rather unfriendly tone, Leon couldn't help but sigh, and then before the princess opened her mouth, he answered with a bad look:

"Just now, an abnormal object went berserk, and your head was chopped off, and you were about to be chopped to death.

But it happened that I was about to start... I was about to bring Joshua back to find someone, and after discovering that something was wrong, I solved the abnormal object that went berserk, and Veronica put your head back, so you didn't die... Any other questions?"

"..."

The abnormal object went berserk...head...so that wasn't a dream?

After hearing Leon's words, the old king, who was a little dazed, finally completely recovered his memory before he fell into a coma, and also remembered the conversation between himself and the "Iron Princess".

"Veronica..."

Looking at the princess in front of him who was looking at him with a complicated expression, a disappointed and distant expression, the old king was silent for a moment, then looked away and sighed softly.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a good father."

It's not known whether he was stimulated by the words of the Iron Princess or he couldn't control his emotions after suffering a blow. The old king, who always looked cold and had a colder heart, rarely showed his fatherly love and whispered:

"I was sorry for you in the past. If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. When Joshua succeeds to the throne, I will let him treat you well."

"..."
