Chapter 1121
Tsk... it seems I can't fool her.
Although he would have liked to drag it out for a while longer, until the old Emperor recovered his human body and died completely, but the Princess was obviously a little anxious, so Li Ang had to give up the plan to continue dragging time and returned the old Emperor's tin head.
"Father? Father?"
After shouting twice and failing to wake the old Emperor, the Princess had no choice but to hold the old Emperor's tin head and hurriedly ran back toward the sleeping quarters.
Fortunately, the tin-skinning effect of 【King-Slayer Three】 takes time to spread slowly when activated, and when the effect is lifted, it also needs to be converted back slowly, leaving her a gap to save people.
When the Princess hurriedly ran back to the study and helped the old Emperor put his head back on, the old Emperor's body had not yet completely lifted the tin-skinning effect, so he finally didn't hang up because of the separation of head and body.
Phew... fortunately, I caught up.
Looking at the old Emperor whose eyelids were still trembling slightly after connecting his head, the Princess who succeeded in saving her father finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head and looked at Li Ang with complicated eyes.
Although she was placed in the Mirror World by Li Ang, just as 【King-Slayer Three】 could read part of her memory, Princess Veronika, who had been turned into a doll, could also see everything 【King-Slayer Three】 experienced.
If Li Ang hadn't arrived in time this time, once the ability of 【King-Slayer Three】 spread, all royal family members, including the old Emperor, would have been slaughtered, but...
His malice toward her father was truly a bit too big.
Before, he insisted on tying her father's head to his waist, which could barely be explained as being afraid that her father would be poisoned and keeping him by his side for protection. But just now, if she hadn't urged him, he would probably have really kept playing dumb until the effect of the anomalous object was completely lifted.
And her father and Li Ang hadn't even met before. The only possibility that Li Ang had such great malice toward him was because of her own affairs. In other words, Li Ang did this mostly to clear "obstacles" for her, and the reason still fell on her...
It's very headache-inducing...
"Li Ang..."
Looking at Li Ang who moved his gaze away and didn't look at her after noticing her gaze, Princess Veronika couldn't help but helplessly instruct:
"My father does have many... wrong places, but he is my father after all, and he treated me very well in the past. So no matter what happens in the end, I still hope he can be well... can you?"
"Mm-hmm."
After nodding in agreement, Li Ang, who understood that he couldn't kill the old Emperor, answered quite insincerely:
"The outbreak of an anomalous event in the Wang Gong is already considered a dereliction of duty by the local branch. If the Emperor is also gone, our Director will definitely go crazy, so I also hope your father can be well."
"..."
I'd be a fool to believe you...
Listening to this answer with one percent sincerity and ninety-nine percent falsehood, the Princess couldn't help but shake her head speechlessly, simply skipped this topic, and turned to ask with some worry:
"Li Ang, shouldn't you be in a meeting at this time? How is the Parliament? Also, where is Watching Watching Qiaoshuya?"
Watching Watching Qiaoshuya... when you are fighting for your father here, he is probably fighting for his mother over there. There shouldn't be any danger, right?
"Watching Watching Qiaoshuya should be fine. You'll see him in a while. As for the Parliament..."
After answering Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's question, Li Ang, who was in a good mood because the armed coup was basically successful, smiled and guaranteed confidently:
"Don't worry, I've settled the Parliament, guaranteed no problem!"
"That's good."
Not knowing that the "settled" in Li Ang's mouth meant that the councilors who dared to oppose had all been arrested, she thought he was just pushing forward a few proposals steadily according to her original plan. Hearing that "everything was normal" in the Parliament, Princess Veronika couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. After the worry in her heart faded, she couldn't help but hold Li Ang's palm, and said with some guilt:
"Li Ang, you've really worked hard these past few days. I... sorry, I talked to you about so many other things first, and even asked about the Parliament and Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, but didn't ask if you were injured.
Even until now, I haven't thanked you, thank you properly for saving me again... Li Ang, you... will you think I'm too much?"
"No."
After shaking his head, Li Ang patted the back of her hand and answered seriously:
"You are different from me. You carry too many things on your shoulders and have too many things to deal with. At this time, it is correct to confirm the situation first, and it is also what you should do.
Besides, you can see clearly whether I am injured or not. It was unnecessary to ask again, and thanks are even less needed. Whether you say these words or not, it's the same to me."
"..."
Okay...
After hearing Li Ang's answer, Princess Veronika couldn't help but bite her lip, then sighed helplessly in her heart.
I thought you would say "Given our relationship, thanks are not needed," or "It's okay, people always like to care about those close to them last," but it turned out to be this answer...
"Hmm..."
Just as the Princess was unwillingly holding Li Ang's palm and preparing to say something else, the tin-skinned Wang Gong finally returned to normal, the tin on the old Emperor's body also faded completely, and he opened his eyes somewhat blankly.
"I... where am I?"
"Father..."
Looking at the old Emperor who was curled up in a wheelchair, even his straight back was hunched, looking old and helpless, Princess Veronika called out, then pursed her lips and fell silent.
And the old Emperor, who came back to his senses, moved his body slightly, then his eyes suddenly became sharp, he straightened up from the wheelchair, stared at the Princess, and asked:
"Why are you here? Where is Watching Watching Qiaoshuya? What do you want to do?"
"..."
Good guy... I thought before that Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's annoying temperament came entirely from the Queen, but now it seems that you, the father, also contributed a lot!
Listening to the old Emperor's unfriendly series of three questions, Li Ang couldn't help but click his tongue, then answered unkindly before the Princess could speak:
"Just now an anomalous object went out of control, your head was chopped off, and you were about to be hacked to death.
But it just so happened that I was preparing to launch... preparing to bring Watching Watching Qiaoshuya back to find someone, and after finding that the situation was wrong, I solved the out-of-control anomalous object, and Veronika put your head back on, so you didn't die... Any other questions?"
"..."
Anomalous object out of control... head... so that wasn't a dream?
After hearing Li Ang's words, the old Emperor, whose eyes were a little dazed, finally completely regained the memory before fainting, and also remembered the conversation between himself and the "tin-skinned Princess".
"Veronika..."
Looking at the Princess who was looking at him with complicated expressions, disappointed and distant, the old Emperor was silent for a moment, then moved his gaze away and sighed lightly.
"Sorry, I'm not a good father."
I don't know if he was stimulated by the words of the tin-skinned Princess, or if he couldn't control his emotions after suffering a blow. The old Emperor, who had always been cold-faced and even colder-hearted, rarely revealed his fatherly love and said in a low voice:
"I treated you badly in the past. If you don't want to marry out, then don't marry. After Watching Watching Qiaoshuya succeeds to the throne, I will let him treat you well."
"..."
