I! Cleaner!

"Filia."

Hmm...

"Filia, wake up."

Who? Who's calling me?

"Filia, don't sleep, you should wake up."

Don't make noise, don't make noise, I'll get up soon!

At the call of the familiar voice, the emerald-eyed girl unconsciously rubbed her eyes with her hands, then sat up from the ground, looking around with a blank face.

Lawns, fountains, pools, open terraces... carved brick roads covered with mud and moss, exquisite sculptures with broken corners, unattended green land withered and yellowed patches, and weeds growing in the dilapidated garden. Everything looks so strange, yet so familiar...

Is this... the old garden behind the palace?

"You finally woke up."

Looking at Filia with messy hair, sitting stupidly on the withered grass, Prince Andre standing behind her couldn't help but chuckle, and then continued to set up the easel, while looking a little nostalgic:

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

When you were tired of playing, you didn't even wipe the sweat off, just set up the parasol and lay on the ground, and then you began to sleep soundly. In your sleep, you would roll over and over, and your little face was rubbed like a mud monkey, causing me to be scolded by my mother a lot..."

Brother Andre...

Looking at the gentle expression on Prince Andre's face, Filia's originally somewhat flustered heart suddenly relaxed unconsciously, and then couldn't help asking:

"Just now..."

"Just now I controlled that troublesome cleaner and rescued you from his hands. You are safe."

"Ah... That's good..."

"..."

Looking at it and asking After saying this, the emerald-eyed girl stood there and did not come over. Prince Andre blinked in surprise, then seemed to understand something and frowned:

"Did he say anything to you?"

"Um..."

Filia certainly understood who the "he" in Andre's mouth was referring to. After thinking of what Leon said before, the emerald-eyed girl couldn't help biting her lip, but finally chose to speak directly and confessed:

"That person told me...you wanted to kill me at least twice.

When attacking the director of the Scorpio Branch, you should not know that I had been taken away by Leon, but in order to prevent me from being taken away by the Scorpio Director, you finally gave the order to bombard the 38th Administrative District where the Cleanup Bureau is located.

Also, you let Atifi 00 replace me and control the long-range weapons of the entire kingdom. Once you see a suspicious target leaving the capital, you must immediately start saturation bombing...Are these true?"

"..."

After listening to the emerald-eyed girl's question, Prince Andre couldn't help but fall silent, and then nodded slightly.

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

"..."

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

Looking at 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 King Killer Society. You know the situation over there. You and I are bound by constraints. We must ensure that the bloodline of the Korok royal family is cut off, and I only have one chance to ambush the director of the Scorpio Branch.

If I held back during the attack because of your situation and failed to leave him there, once he abandoned the other cleaners and forcibly took you away from the Korok Kingdom, we would both be "bound" and executed."

"Well... I know."

The emerald-eyed girl nodded and responded softly:

"I don't blame you. After all, it's my fault. If I couldn't suppress my curiosity and had to take the risk to approach Leon, you wouldn't have to make this choice. , I am too willful. "

"It's not your fault."

Prince Andre shook his head and said with a headache:

"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, and they have no need to take action against you.

But that Leon..."

Thinking of the guy in "Palace Night Banquet" who could catch his pain and output madly even after being turned into a clown, Prince Andre's mouth twitched twice, and then said helplessly:

"He is not normal.

Filia, after you were captured by him, I really thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. He obviously didn't know anything about the situation, why did he directly capture you without hesitation..."

"..."

After listening to her brother's complaints, the emerald-eyed girl couldn't help but raise her hand with lingering fear, touched the back of her head that was cut by Leon, and fell silent.

Indeed, that pervert is really outrageous.

Before I decided to contact him, I used the intelligent core to calculate repeatedly. No matter how I calculated, the final result was that he would not do anything to me, but that pervert dared to do it. After chatting with me for a few words, he arrested me without saying anything.

As for how to evaluate that person... After thinking about it, there is only one word that fits, that is "not normal".

...

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

After the two siblings, who were exhausted by Leon's "abnormal behavior", were silent for a while, Prince Andre took the initiative to break the silence. He lowered his head to organize the easel and comforted them:

"The trap for Director Scorpio had not been launched at that time. My goal was to stabilize them as much as possible, so no matter whether it was you or me, one of us had to contact Leon.

And if you didn't ask to go, then the person he caught would most likely be me, and the situation would probably be worse than it is now. In short, it's not your fault to be caught."

"Well..."

After nodding and accepting the comfort, the emerald-eyed girl looked at the easel in front of Andre and asked hesitantly:

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

"Yes."

After stretching the canvas on the shelf, Prince Andre nodded, and then cleaned the brush with turpentine while responding with full concentration:

"When I drew you in the past, I only drew you in shape. Although there was no problem with the technique, I could never capture that hazy feeling. But now it's different. I have the confidence to draw the most complete you."

"That's good..."

The emerald-eyed girl nodded, pursed her lips slightly, and then asked:

"Brother Andre, can I know why you couldn't draw me well in the past, but now you have the confidence to draw well?"

"..."

After hearing Filia's question, Prince Andre, who was outlining the lines, was startled slightly, then raised his head and looked at the emerald-eyed girl, frowning slightly and said:

"Why do you ask that?"

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

Filia clenched her 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?"
