Chapter 853: 450 Competing for Father

Tsk... looks like I can't fool her.

Although he would have liked to drag it out a little longer, until the old King recovered his human body and died completely, but since the Princess was obviously a bit anxious, Li Ang had to give up the plan to continue dragging time and returned the old King's tin head.

"Father? Father?"

After calling twice and failing to wake the old King, the Princess had no choice but to hold the old King's tin head and run back toward the bedchamber in a hurry.

Fortunately, the tin-ification effect of 【King Slayer III】 takes time to spread when activated, and it also needs to be slowly converted back when the effect is lifted, leaving her a window to save people.

By the time the Princess ran back to the study in a hurry and helped the old King reattach his head, the old King's body hadn't completely lifted the tin-ification, so he didn't die because of the separation of head and body.

Phew... luckily I made it in time.

Looking at the old King, whose eyelids were still trembling slightly after reattaching his head, the Princess, who had successfully saved her father, finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head and looked at Li Ang with a complex expression.

Although she was placed in the Mirror World by Li Ang, just as 【King Slayer III】 could read part of her memory, Princess Veronica, who had been turned into a doll, could also see everything 【King Slayer III】 experienced.

If it weren't for Li Ang arriving in time this time, once the ability of 【King Slayer III】 spread, all royal family members, including the old King, would have been slaughtered, but...

His malice toward her father was truly a bit too great.

Before, he insisted on tying her father's head to his waist, which could barely be explained as fearing her father would be poisoned and keeping him by his side for protection. But just now, if it weren't for her urging, he would probably have kept playing dumb and dragged it out until the anomalous object's effect was completely lifted.

And her father and Li Ang hadn't even met before. The only thing that could make Li Ang have such great malice toward him could only be because of her own affairs. In other words, Li Ang doing this was 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 Veronica couldn't help but instruct helplessly:

"My father indeed has 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... is that okay?"

"Hmm, hmm."

After nodding in agreement, Li Ang, who understood that he couldn't kill the old King anymore, answered insincerely:

"An anomalous event broke out in the palace, which can already be considered the dereliction of duty of the local branch. If the King 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 that was one percent true and ninety-nine percent fake, the Princess couldn't help but shake her head speechlessly, simply skipping this topic, and instead asked 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 were competing for your father here, he was probably competing for his mother 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, whose armed coup was basically successful and was in a good mood, 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 MPs who dared to oppose had already 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 Veronica breathed a sigh of relief. And after the worry in her heart faded, she couldn't help but hold Li Ang's palm, her expression somewhat apologetic:

"Li Ang, it's really been hard for you these few days. I... sorry, I talked to you about so many other things first, even asked about the Parliament and Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, but didn't ask if you were hurt.

Even now, I haven't thanked you, properly thanked you for saving me again... Li Ang, do you... do you think I'm very excessive?"

"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, confirming the situation first is correct, and it is also what you should do.

Besides, you can see very clearly whether I am hurt or not. It was unnecessary to ask again. As for thanks, it's even less needed. Whether you say these words or not, it's the same to me."

"..."

Okay...

After hearing Li Ang's answer, Princess Veronica 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 the result was this kind of answer...

"Hmm..."

Just as the Princess was holding Li Ang's palm unwillingly, preparing to say something else, the tin-ified palace finally returned to normal, the tin on the old King's body also faded completely, and he opened his eyes somewhat blankly.

"I... am I?"

"Father..."

Looking at the old King, who was curled up in the wheelchair, even his straight back was hunched, looking old and helpless, Princess Veronica called out, then pursed her lips and fell silent.

And the old King, who had come back to his senses, moved his body slightly, suddenly his eyes became sharp, he stood up straight from the wheelchair, and 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 King's chain of three questions with a rather unkind tone, Li Ang couldn't help but click his tongue, then answered unkindly before the Princess could speak:

"Just now an anomalous object rampaged, your head was slashed off, and you were about to be hacked to death.

But I was just preparing to launch... preparing to bring Watching Watching Qiaoshuya back to find someone, and after discovering something was wrong, I solved the rampaging anomalous object by the way, and Veronica reattached your head, so you didn't die... any other questions?"

"..."

Anomalous object rampage... head... so that wasn't a dream?

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, the old King, whose eyes were a bit trance-like, finally recovered the memory before fainting, and also remembered the conversation between himself and the "Tin Princess."

"Veronica..."

Looking at the Princess who was looking at him with complex expressions, disappointed and distant, the old King was silent for a moment, then looked away and sighed lightly.

"Sorry, I'm not a good father."

I don't know if he was stimulated by the Tin Princess's words, or if he couldn't control his emotions after suffering a blow. The old King, who had always been cold-faced and even colder-hearted, rarely showed fatherly love once, and said in a low voice:

"In the past, I was sorry to you. 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."
