When a certain prince kicked the queen's iron head away and then ordered the guards to open the door and arrest the thief, "Princess Veronica" had already led the queen's attendants to find the old king who was reading in the study. "Um?" After noticing the familiar figure outside the study door, the old king, who was covered in rust all over his body and even his glass eyes were a bit turbid, couldn't help but frowned and said: "Didn't I order you to be imprisoned for a week? Who released you?" "My mother released me." The princess outside the door bowed gracefully, her green glass eyes full of gratitude and said: "Because I knocked over the cabinet and made some noise, my mother was worried about whether I was injured inside, so she had someone let me out." Mother? After listening to the princess's explanation, the old king's brows not only did not relax, but instead frowned even more tightly. "Veronica."
After calling the princess's name, the old king, who was basking in the sun by the window, put the scroll in his hand on his lap, and then asked with an unhappy expression: "What on earth do you want to do?" "Father?" The princess outside the study door raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked in confusion: "I'm not prepared to do anything. Why do you ask?" "..." The old king did not answer immediately after hearing this, but waved his hand to the waiter behind him, indicating that he would turn the front of his wheelchair to the door, facing the princess outside the study door. Then, the old king, who had his back to the sun, raised his head. On his iron face with lots of rust marks, two turbid gemstone eyes stared at the princess like a hawk, and said every word: "You never called her mother!" "That's it..." The princess at the door blinked, her clear and translucent gemstone eyes met the old king's gaze, and she said with a smile: "Now is different from before. The next king can only be Joshua. I have no chance of inheriting the throne and I have to be married off by you far away. As for a princess like me who marries far away, whether her life outside will be good or bad depends on the attitude of the kingdom towards me. In order to avoid losing the support from the kingdom after getting married, of course I have to start to please my mother and Qiao Shu. Ya. " "..." After listening to Princess Veronica's answer with a frown the whole time, the strange feeling in the old king's heart not only did not disappear, but in fact became more serious. Although the current situation is the same as what Veronica said, if the princess who marries far away does not have the support of the kingdom, her life will definitely not be easy, so she should really work hard to build a good relationship with Joshua and her son, but... Is this something Veronica would do? Looking at the princess who was still smiling in front of his question, although no matter how he looked at her, she was still his daughter, but the old king just couldn't convince himself, and always felt that something was not right. Although the Veronica in my memory is not the kind of character who doesn't know how to adapt, she is actually extremely stubborn in many places, and her temper is much more stubborn than she looks.
If she can think through this kind of thing and is willing to bow to the Queen and Joshua in order to live a better life in the future, then why didn't she bow to herself earlier? If she is willing to abandon those boring thoughts, continue to perform her duties as a princess, and always put the royal family first, her throne will definitely be hers, and Joshua will not even have the slightest chance! "You're not Veronica!" After gripping the armrests of the wheelchair, the old king narrowed his eyes and asked with a sinister expression: "Say! Who are you!" "Father?" The "Prince" outside the study blinked and said in surprise: "What are you talking about? How could I not be Veronica? I am your daughter!" "wrong!" The old king refuted without hesitation: "Veronica is much more arrogant than you. Although she has always been polite, she has never looked down on the queen, let alone Joshua. People like her may temporarily compromise for her ridiculous ideals, but they will never bow to someone they don't like in order to live a better life in the future! " "Father, you really misunderstood." Looking at the wary old king in front of her, the princess at the door of the study sighed and said: "People will always grow... I used to be like this, but now I have figured it out. Although the abilities of Joshua and his mother are not worth mentioning at all, they have the support of the Chancellor and you behind them, and I should give them the respect they deserve. So now, I am not respecting them themselves, but respecting what supports them... When I say this, can you understand what I mean? " "..." People will always grow... After listening to Princess Veronica's defense, the old king couldn't help but have a look of hesitation in his eyes. After a long silence, he seemed to be convinced. His straight back relaxed slightly and he leaned back again. into his own wheelchair. "pity……" After shaking his head slightly, the old king in the wheelchair sighed with a tired look: "Everything is doomed now, and I can't change it even if I don't want to... How can Joshua compare with you in terms of ability or character? My most preferred heir has always been you. It would be great if you could grow up earlier. ?” "Father……" Looking at the regret and sigh on the old king's iron face, the princess outside the study pursed her lips, and then walked into the study with some excitement. "It's not too late!" Looking at the old king in the wheelchair, Queen Veronica said earnestly: "You are the only king of this country. As long as you are willing, it is never too late!"
"I..." The old king seemed to be a little moved by what the princess said. His back was not as straight as before. He leaned weakly on the backrest and sighed: "Whether you or Joshua, they are my children. Since I have promised him... um? Joshua?" As if he had discovered something extraordinary, the old king looked at the door with shock in his eyes, and said in confusion: "Aren't you in the parliament meeting? Why are you back suddenly?" Joshua is back? After hearing the old king's words, Princess Veronica was slightly startled, and then subconsciously turned back to look at the door. However, at the moment she turned around, the old king leaning on the backrest suddenly took out a large-caliber nail gun from under the seat of the wheelchair, then aimed at the back of the Tin Princess' head and raised his hand without hesitation to shoot! "Bang!" Unexpectedly, the Tin Princess was hit by the huge force from the back of her head and fell to the ground. Before she could get up, the old king behind her raised his gun and shot again with a cold face. Only four gunshots were heard, and the Tin Princess's metal right knee joint was deformed by the impact force, and then stuck by four nails. Before she could get up, she knelt down again and completely lost her ability to move. "Come here!" Throwing the nail gun to the waiter behind him, the old king in the wheelchair raised his palm full of rust marks, but still surprisingly stable, pointed at the Tin Princess lying on the ground and shouted: "Catch her for me! Then send someone to Veronica's room... No! Go find the queen first to see if the queen is still alive!"
