0429 Harmonious Meeting (Part I)
After hearing the identity of the so-called "helper", Joshua's scalp suddenly numb, and he even felt a strange phantom pain on his face.
If in the whole kingdom, if you find a person who the freckled prince is most afraid of, if a cheap brother-in-law thinks that he is second, I am afraid that no one will be able to rank first.
After all, even if he did something ridiculous and annoyed the old king, in the end he would only be reprimanded for a few words, and then locked up for a few days, and if the queen interceded, even the confinement could be saved.
But if you provoke a cheap brother-in-law, you will really be whipped by a big mouth, or even woken up after being knocked unconscious, and then pumped after treating the injury, until the other party is gone.
And what is even more desperate than this is that after the other party finished pumping himself, he was not punished at all.
Touching his face, which had been pumped several times, Joshua's eyes couldn't help but show a deep sense of powerlessness.
The royal family needs to use the other party's dukedom status to accept the political heritage of the Lane family, so they will not pursue the other party's crime of beating the prince, and will only choose to settle the matter.
When I reported it to the Cleanup Bureau and asked them to rein in this madman, the reply I received was that it had nothing to do with them.
Those idiots actually thought that considering the marriage relationship between that madman and Veronica, judging this kind of housework belonging to the royal family, as long as the other party did not use anomalous objects to hurt themselves, it was not considered a violation of the rules of the Cleanup Bureau.
So as a prince, he was whipped by someone in his own kingdom, and in the end he didn't even have a place to reason, how can there be such a truth in the world?
β¦β¦
"Uncle! Why did you even think of asking him for help? β
After looking through the gap in the curtain, and seeing a familiar figure in the seat of the deputy speaker, the freckled prince couldn't help but instinctively shrink his neck, and then turned back and complained:
"That man is a madman! If you're in a hurry, you really don't care about the occasion, can't you discuss it with me before you find a helper? β
"You only came back from the Kingdom of Morna last night, how can I discuss it with you? Also, watch your demeanor! β
Looking at his nephew, who was a little frightened on his face, the Chancellor's brows couldn't help frowning, and he reprimanded with a slightly unhappy expression:
"Stand up straight! Keep your back up! You are the only prince of the kingdom! In the future, he will inherit the throne and become the next king of the kingdom! What are you afraid of? β
"I ...... I'm not afraid of him, but there are so many people outside, if he comes over and beats me later......"
"Why did he hit you? Although he beat you in the past, that was when the Ryan family was still useful, and with Veronica supporting him, he dared to be so unscrupulous.
Now that Veronica is under house arrest in her bedroom, the value of the Ryan family is running dry, and he is nothing more than a shell duke.
If he really goes crazy and dares to do something to you in front of so many people, then you will fight back! If you can't beat it, call the guards! Just because the royal family didn't touch him in the past doesn't mean they can't touch him now! What is there to be afraid of? β
It seems like...... Also right?
After listening to his uncle's words, Joshua's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Yes, it's not the same now, and the kingdom can cure him for his sins! He doesn't have the honor guard behind him, no matter how arrogant he is, he won't come and beat me in front of so many people, right?
Gaining confidence from the Chancellor's words, the Freckled Prince couldn't help but straighten his back, raised his head in a majestic manner, and glared viciously in the direction of Leon through the curtain in front of him.
Damn dog thing! This time I'm going to see how arrogant you can be! Without Veronica's backing, you're just a ...... It's a ......

"Sizzle......"
Through the gap in the curtain, after meeting Leon's eyes, Joshua couldn't help but subconsciously gasp.
Although Leon in the seat did not have any superfluous expression, those eyes were staring at him without blinking through the gap in the curtain, and after noticing his gaze, the corners of his mouth even curled up, revealing ...... Quite a relieved expression.
What are you happy about? You tell me! What are you happy about at this time?
"Alright, it's almost time."
Just when Joshua's eyes widened and instinctively felt that something was wrong, the Chancellor of the Exchequer took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and then urged:
"Get out of here, it's time for you to come to the stage and make the Imperial Declaration."
"Uncle, I'...... I think ......"
"Hurry up and get out! If there is anything to say, we will talk about it later! β
ββ¦β¦β
Although he felt that something was not right, as the attendant lifted the curtain in front of him, the freckled prince could only walk out of the preparatory area under the gaze of that reassuring gaze, and ascended to the main stage prepared for the imperial declaration, and read the speech prepared in advance.
"I, the First Prince Joshua, have been appointed by the current King of the Kingdom to represent the King and all the royal family in this Upper House Parliament."
After reciting the opening sentence with a little jerkiness, Joshua, whose scalp was numb by someone's reassuring eyes, lowered his head, stared at the speech with his eyes, raised his right hand and swore an oath:
"In place of the present King, I promise to the House of Representatives and all subjects of the Kingdom that this Council of Lords will abide by the Code of the Kingdom and the House of Rules, in accordance with the ...... Uphold...... Abide by...... Maintenance ......"
As if being driven by a flood beast, after finishing the manuscript with such speed that he was a little busy, Joshua turned his head and said a little embarrassed under the disgruntled gaze of the Chancellor of the Exchequer:
"I ...... This concludes my declaration, and I now invite the Speaker to preside over the Parliament and ...... And read out a bill! β
After hastily fulfilling his duties, Prince Freckle's tense expression relaxed slightly, and he hurriedly put down his speech, hurriedly climbed the golden throne behind the main stage, sat down cautiously, and then looked at the seat of the Acting Speaker with wary eyes.
With the end of the Imperial Declaration, the prince representing the royal family sat on the throne behind the main stage, and more than 100 members of the entire venue, plus more than 800 side members, a total of 1,000 pairs of eyes, were cast on the speaker's seat.
β¦β¦
It's so good, this time I don't have to be afraid that the princess will not be willing to coup d'Γ©tat, you peaches are picked, it's not too timely.
Smiling at the stunned Joshua on the throne and giving him an encouraging look, Leon got up and left the speaker's seat and walked up the red carpet stairs to the main stage.
Immediately afterwards, the two guards brought up the single podium for the speaker, and Leon stood behind the single podium with his back to Joshua, picked up the silver hammer on the table, and struck it vigorously on the golden wall clock next to the podium.
"I announce!"
Looking around at the members of the red seats, Leon announced with a smile on his face:
"Politics...... The House of Lords Assembly has officially begun! β
