I! Cleaner!

The boarding tower was attacked... How could I not know about this?

"I know a little bit."

After looking at the princess in his arms who was talking excitedly, Leon said tentatively:

"I heard from my friends in the police department that they have been working overtime like crazy recently. Many civilians have been pulled out to patrol every day, looking for the criminals who attacked the boarding tower and the things lost by the Kingdom of Korok... Does this matter also affect you?"

"It has a big impact!"

The princess nodded and frowned slightly:

"The identity of the suspect who attacked the boarding tower has been basically confirmed. It should be the rebels who assassinated me many times before and burned the Lowther Arcade. The damage they did in the past is not as troublesome as this time.

This time they made too much trouble, causing the Kingdom of Korok to constantly put pressure on us. If we still can't come up with a satisfactory result within one or two months, it will definitely affect normal trade.

However... the burning of the boarding tower is not entirely a bad thing."

When she said this, the queen's expression slightly Wei sighed with some complexity:

"Since the beginning of last year, I have been working with the Minister of Defense to clean up the military, cut redundant soldiers and reduce miscellaneous expenses, and replace those outdated weapons and equipment.

But even with the cooperation of your Ryan family, it is still not going very smoothly. The resistance is beyond my imagination. However, once the boarding tower incident happened, most of the reform proposals that were previously blocked were actually restarted.

It is estimated that the burning of the heavily guarded boarding tower finally made some people feel the crisis and had to give up some of the benefits they had eaten to ensure their own stability...

Hehe, some people are like this. If they are not cold and hungry, they will lie in the car with their eyes closed. Only when the cold air penetrates through the car window and freezes his lips blue, will he reluctantly get out of the car and push it!"

After complaining about the short-sightedness of the kingdom's high-level officials with a face full of resentment, the princess who had been holding back a lot of anger these days finally felt relieved.

"My dear, you are so nice~"

She shrank back into the warm embrace behind her to warm up her body. Princess Veronica took Leon's hand and said with her head raised and blinked:

"I have been holding these words in my heart for a long time, but it is not appropriate to tell anyone. Fortunately, you can listen to me... When are you going to marry me?"

"..."

No, why did the topic come back again?

Lyon was a little headache because of the sudden urging to get married. He said:

"Well, Your Highness Veronica, I have thought about it carefully these days and found that you and I are not suitable, so can the previous engagement be..."

"Okay."

? ? ?

What did you say? You agreed? So happy?

After hearing Princess Veronica's straightforward answer, Lyon's expression was slightly startled. While his heart was slightly relieved, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"As I said before, the final decision on our relationship is up to you. I won't force it."

After slightly restraining the smile on her face, the princess who had just leaned on Leon's arms sat up straight, lowered her eyebrows, and said indifferently:

"In addition, even if my status is special, I am also a normal woman. I also have self-esteem. Although I do have a good impression of you and am willing to approach you again and again, I am not without any bottom line.

Leon, I don't like to force people. Since you have made a decision, then I... should let go. If I still cling to you at this time, it would be too embarrassing. I can't do such a thing."

"..."

Sorry...

Feeling the slightly cold palm of the princess in his palm, Leon couldn't help but feel a strong sense of guilt.

After all, the cause of this matter was on his side. Although Princess Veronica had some other purposes, she was indeed very proactive. On the contrary, he was constantly pushing her out because of her status as a princess and the troubles brought by this status.

So no matter how you look at it, it is he who is sorry for her, not she who is sorry for him.

"I'm sorry..."

After sincerely apologizing, Leon, who tried to make amends, said:

"If in the future..."

"There is no future, you should never see me again in the future."

Princess Veronica turned her head slightly, avoiding Leon's sight, then reached out to wipe the corners of her eyes, and whispered with tears in her eyes:

"If there is no engagement with you, then I will definitely be married in the future, either to the Kingdom of Morna, the Kingdom of Hessen, or the Kingdom of Alesund... In short, I will no longer stay in the capital.

And in the future, I will most likely marry someone I have never met, and then because of the interests between the kingdoms, I will be married to my future husband. I am being neglected by my husband and living alone in a palace that is even colder than your heart.

If the country I marry into goes to war with the kingdom in the future, I may be humiliated, or even hanged by my husband, cursing my miserable fate, dying in despair and pain..."

"..."

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you. My miserable life is not caused by you, and you don't have to feel guilty. I... I just..."

After comforting Leon with no effort, big tears fell from the corners of Princess Veronica's eyes. She hurriedly reached out to wipe them, but for some reason, the tears on her face kept coming.

"I just... I just feel a little regretful..."

After finding that she couldn't stop crying, Veronica gave up covering her eyes and turned her head away, pursing her lips and trembling:

"Obviously...obviously everything is starting to get better. The reform of the military has been pushed forward, and I am also working on solving the problems of the Ministry of Road Administration. The financial problems that have been stuck have also started to be solved recently.

As long as I proceed step by step, I will have the opportunity to completely change the kingdom, so that ordinary people will no longer have such a hard life, and the kingdom will become strong again, and no one will die in the war.

After I leave, it will be difficult to find someone to take over all this. Joshua is useless. If the kingdom falls into his hands, it will probably be controlled by the Minister of Finance and the Queen, and continue to be a tool for nobles and big businessmen to exploit ordinary people...

Wow... Obviously... obviously just a little bit away!"

"..."

"It's okay, you don't have to care."

After wiping her eyes again, the tearful princess clenched her fists, and said softly with red eyes:

"No one will blame you, you have your own life, there is no need to marry a very beautiful woman you don't love for the happiness of others.

Leon, you don't have to feel guilty, whether it's me who is about to be lonely for the rest of my life, or those who lost the opportunity to change their fate because of my departure, we won't blame you, you...

Why did you grab my hand? Do you regret it? Do you want to hold my hand again and walk through this life? "

"..."

I really admire you... How can you talk so much without changing your expression?

After prying open the princess' fingers with a dark face and snatching the crumpled onion slices inside, Leon complained with a headache:

"Your Highness, can't you be more sincere..."
