Already went to my bedroom to get the papers?

After hearing the Chancellor's words, the princess, who was still angry just now, gradually calmed down and turned her head to look at the old king on the throne.

If it is possible that the queen and the Chancellor of the Exchequer are on their own initiative, then letting people go directly to their bedrooms to get the proposal must have been tacitly approved by their father.

No, not even more than acquiescence.

Looking at the old king sitting in a wheelchair directly under the crystal chandelier, half of his face hidden in the shadow of the lamp, Queen Veronica couldn't help but take a deep breath, then sat back in her place, and asked calmly:

"Father, do you mean that?"

"Hmm."

After the loose eyelids opened and closed slightly, the face was similar to the photo in the bedroom of the princess, a face was so thin that it was not good, only the tear troughs on both sides of the nose, and the old king who could still vaguely identify the appearance said lightly:

"I've already arranged this for you, and Joshua will return from the Molna Kingdom in three days, just in time to take your place in the Upper House Council.

It's time for you to get married, and sooner or later you'll have to leave these things to Joshua to do, rather than waiting for you to marry into the Kingdom of Hesse and then let Joshua take over, it's better to let him try to get in touch with him now. ”

When I marry into the Kingdom of Hesse......

Hearing this, the princess pursed her lips, stared at her father, who had become extremely strange, and asked expressionlessly:

"Where is Ang? The marriage contract between me and him ......"

"There is no need to fulfill that kind of marriage contract at all."

The big hand with a protruding joint clenched the scepter, paused the floor, and after interrupting the words of the princess, the old king, who was already sick and thin, but his eyes were still fierce and compelling, hissed:

"The Lane family still has valuable things, it is nothing more than the position of the military department and the road department, you have collected the inheritance of the Lane family for more than a month, and those that can't be collected can be treated coldly for the time being, and then slowly replaced with your own people,

Now except for the deputy speaker seat of the House of Lords, and some property that is not easy to sell in a short time, the Lane family is useless, it is not worth using your marriage to envelop it, and the lame Grand Duke of the Hesse Kingdom is the destination of you. ”

"Do you know he's a lame duke?"

Looking at her father, who had arranged the second half of his life without any waves, the corners of the princess's mouth smiled, and she said with a slight sneer:

"Not to mention that he is almost twenty years older than me, and that lame Grand Duke has a good reputation for killing servants at every turn, and even the pirates of the Kingdom of Sail have heard of it, are you sure that this kind of person will be my destiny?"

“……”

After hearing the princess's words, the old king was silent for a while, and then lowered his head slightly, avoiding her gaze.

"As a royal daughter, you should be rewarded for enjoying what the kingdom has given you."

"You're right."

Queen Veronica nodded, and said indifferently:

"It's something you've taught me since I was a kid, and I've always kept it in my heart and I've always done it, but what about you? Did you do it? ”

The old king frowned when he heard this, and asked with an expressionless face:

"Veronica, what do you want to say?"

"I mean, you're a really bad king, and I'm really sorry for this country."

After hearing the words of the princess, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but change his complexion, and the queen opened her mouth in surprise and almost fell directly from her chair.

As if she had thrown off some incomparably heavy burden, the princess breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the old king with a calm face:

"Actually, I had a lot of ideals to tell you.

For example, it is not the royal family that supports me, but the ordinary people who work all day long, and I should repay them; For example, although you value the royal family more, but the kingdom is rotten, and the royal family will cease to exist sooner or later;

For example, whether the royal family controls absolute power or not, in fact, it doesn't matter that much, as long as we can make the kingdom stronger, or even just give everyone a little hope, you can get the ...... you want."

Under the old king's gaze, Queen Veronica smiled, but said helplessly:

"But I thought about it and didn't talk about it.

Since your mother's death, your heart has been completely filled with the royal family and the throne, and there is no room for anything else, even my daughter, who has long been squeezed out, no matter what I say, it can't change your decision, right? ”

“……”

"Are you finished?"

The old king's bright eyes, which were not commensurate with his sick body, stared at the princess in front of him without blinking, and said calmly:

"If you are done, write a letter to the Duke of Lionheart, tell him that you are not feeling well and cannot attend the two-chamber meeting the day after tomorrow, and ask him to save your face and use his position as deputy speaker of the upper house to help Joshua as much as possible."

"Hehe, you really haven't changed, everything that can be used must be completely drained of all the value to be satisfied."

After sneering in front of her, the princess said indifferently:

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who went to my bedroom to pick up the proposal document should have already confiscated my seal, and even found someone who could imitate my handwriting, and even if I refused to help, this letter would have been sent out, right?"

"Hmm."

After answering calmly, the old king, who was half shrouded in the shadow of the lamp, asked:

"So are you going to write it yourself, or do you want me to find someone to write it for you?"

"Since the result is the same, it is better for me to write it myself."

After saying this, the princess turned around, looked at the queen with a happy face on the opposite side, and said with the corners of her mouth slightly curled:

"Congratulations, after receiving a lot of help from Leon, Joshua's experience of representing the royal family in the two-chamber parliament this time will definitely be quite unforgettable."

……

Three days later, at five o'clock in the morning, in the upper part of the royal capital, in front of the parliament hall in the Seehausen Palace.

Before the sun had time to rise, the neighing of horses and the roar of boilers tore through the night, and a large number of exquisite and luxurious steam carriages streamed in along the specially opened gallop and anchored in the open space outside the building.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, members of parliament, dressed in robes, top hats, and crowned coats of arms on their chests, stepped out of the carriage, took off their hats and greeted each other, and then entered the main hall in twos and threes, waiting for the convening of the House of Lords.

As the most important authority in the kingdom, the two chambers of parliament are not convened at the same time, the upper house parliament is held relatively earlier, and usually has members of the royal family in attendance, and even has a special opening ceremony every year, in which successive kings or queens make royal declarations.

However, after the old king became seriously ill and became unable to move, he refused to attend the opening ceremony for three consecutive years, and the cumbersome ceremony was temporarily abolished in favor of short speeches by members of the royal family.

"We're almost there."

Stretching out his hand to remove the curtain blocking the seat and taking a look at the situation in the venue, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, dressed in a dark gray robe, nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to look at the freckled prince in a fine dress next to him, and asked with a smile:

"Nervous about attending the two-chamber parliament for the first time and making a declaration on behalf of the royal family?"

"A little ......"

After pulling the collar that was a little tightly tied, Joshua leaned into the gap in the curtain, looked at the main hall where at least a thousand people were sitting outside, and said with a somewhat uneasy expression:

"I see a lot of Veronica people out there, Veronica isn't here today, will they cooperate with me?"

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, they are Veronica's people, but they are also members of the royal family, and they should obey your will as a matter of course."

After comforting his nephew, the Chancellor of the Exchequer smiled and said:

"And your mother and I have also found you a helper in advance, if something really goes wrong, he will help you control the situation."

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

After hearing the Chancellor's words, Prince Freckles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked with some curiosity:

"Uncle, who is the helper you and my mother found for me?"

"He is the Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, and the current Duke Lionheart."

Oh, it turned out to be a lion......

Who? Who are you looking for me?
