Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 566 Painting (Part 1)

"Filia."

Hmm…

"Filia, wake up quickly."

who? Who is calling me?

"Filia, don't sleep, it's time for you to wake up."

Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, I'm getting up right now!

At the call of a familiar voice, the green-eyed girl unconsciously stretched out her hand to rub her eyes, then sat up from the ground and looked around at the situation with a blank look on her face.

Lawns, fountains, pools, open terraces... carved brick paths covered with moss, exquisite sculptures with broken corners, withered and yellow patches of green space that have not been cared for, and overgrown weeds in the withered and dilapidated gardens. It looks so strange, yet so familiar...

This is... the old garden behind the palace?

"You finally woke up."

Looking at Filia, who had messy hair and was sitting blankly on the withered grass, Prince Andrei, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but chuckle, and then continued to set up the easel while saying with a somewhat nostalgic look:

"You used to like to lie on the lawn and sleep, especially when it was not so hot in summer. You always pestered me to pick up a parasol and take you to play in this garden.

When they were tired from playing, they didn't even wipe off the sweat. They just put up a parasol and lay down on the ground, and then they started to fall asleep. They would roll over and over while sleeping, and their little faces would look like mud monkeys. It seems that I was scolded by my mother a lot..."

Brother Andre…

Seeing the gentle expression on Prince Andre's face, Filia's originally panicked heart suddenly relaxed unconsciously, and then she couldn't help but ask:

"Just now…"

"I just controlled that troublesome cleaner and rescued you from him. You are safe."

"Ah...that's good..."

“…”

Looking at the emerald-eyed girl who stood there after asking a question and had not come over for a long time, Prince Andre blinked in surprise, then seemed to understand something, frowned and said:

"Did he say anything to you?"

"Um…"

Of course Filia understood who the "he" in Andre's mouth was referring to. After remembering Leon's previous words, the green-eyed girl couldn't help but bite her lips, but in the end she chose to confess directly:

"The man told me...you tried to kill me at least twice.

When you attacked the Director of the Scorpio Branch, you probably didn't know that I had been taken away by Leon, but in order to prevent me from being taken away by Director Scorpio, you finally gave the order to bombard the No. 38 Administrative District where the Cleanup Bureau is located.

Also, you asked Atifei00 to replace me and control the long-range weapons of the entire kingdom. Once you see a suspicious target leaving the royal capital, you will immediately start saturation bombing... Are these all true? "

“…”

After listening to the green-eyed girl's inquiry, Prince Andre couldn't help but fell silent, and then nodded slightly.

"Well...I did give these two orders."

“…”

"But you know, I have to do it."

Seeing the disappointed look on his beloved sister's face, Andre couldn't help but sigh and explained sincerely:

"Filia, you are also a formal member recognized by the Slaughtered Kings. Knowing the situation over there, you and I are bound to ensure that the bloodline of the Crook royal family is cut off, and I can only ambush the Scorpio Branch Director once. opportunity.

If I had spared my hand during the attack because of your situation and failed to keep him there, once he abandoned the other cleaners and forcibly took you out of the Kingdom of Korok, then both of us would be 'restrained' execution. "Well...I know." "

The green-eyed girl nodded and responded in a low voice:

"I don't blame you. After all, it's my fault that this happened. If I hadn't been unable to restrain my curiosity and had to risk getting close to Lyon, you wouldn't have had to make this choice. I was too willful."

"It's not your fault."

Prince Andrei shook his head when he heard this, and said with a headache on his face:

"I agreed when you went. After all, my previous actions did not reveal any flaws. In the eyes of the people in the Cleanup Bureau, the entire royal family should still be alive. They have no need to take action against you.

But that Lyon..."

After thinking of the guy in "Palace Night Banquet" who could grab his own painful spots and do crazy damage even if he was turned into a clown, the corners of Prince Andre's mouth couldn't help but twitched twice, and then he said helplessly:

"He's not normal.

Filia, after you were captured by him, I really thought about it for a long time but still couldn’t figure out why he would arrest you without hesitation when he clearly didn’t know anything about the situation..."

“…”

After hearing her brother's complaint, the green-eyed girl couldn't help but raise her hand with lingering fear, touched the back of her head that had been cut open by Leon, and then fell silent.

Indeed, that pervert is indeed outrageous.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Before I decided to contact him, I used the omnic core to make repeated calculations. No matter how I calculated, the final result was that he would not do anything to me, but that pervert dared to do this and nagged me. After two sentences, he started arresting people without saying anything.

As for how to evaluate that person... After much deliberation, there is only one word that is suitable, and that is "not normal."

…

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

After the two brothers and sisters, who were extremely tired by Leon's "abnormal behavior", faced each other in wordless silence for a while, Prince Andrei took the initiative to break the silence, lowered his head to arrange the easel, and said comforting words:

"At that time, the trap against Director Scorpio had not yet been launched. My goal was to stabilize them as much as possible, so whether it was me or you, someone still had to contact that Leon.

And if you hadn't mentioned that you wanted to go, then I would probably be the one caught by him. The situation would probably be worse than it is now. In short, it was not your fault that you were caught. "

"Um…"

After nodding and accepting the comfort, the green-eyed girl looked at the easel placed in front of Andre, and asked with some hesitation:

"Brother Andre, are you going to paint my portrait again?"

"Yes."

After stretching the canvas on the stand, Prince Andre nodded, then cleaned the brush with turpentine and responded with concentration in his eyes:

"When I painted you in the past, I always only had a similar appearance. Although there was no problem with my technique, I could never capture that hazy feeling. But it's different now. I now have the confidence to paint the most complete version of you. "

"That's good…"

The green-eyed girl nodded when she heard this, then pursed her lips slightly, and then asked:

"Brother Andre, can I know why you have never been able to draw me well in the past, but now you are confident that you can draw me well?"

“…”

After hearing Filia's inquiry, Prince Andre, who was sketching the lines, couldn't help being slightly startled. Then he raised his head and looked at the green-eyed girl, frowning slightly and said:

"Why do you ask?"

"I just want to know an answer..."

Filia clenched her little fists slightly, raised her head and looked directly at Prince Andre in front of her, and asked softly:

"Brother Andre, is the person you have been drawing really me?"
