Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 566: Drawing (Part )

"Felia."

Well……

"Filia, wake up."

Who? Who's calling me?

"Filia, don't sleep, you should wake up."

Don't make noise, don't make noise, I'll get up right away!

At the call of the familiar voice, the emerald-eyed girl unconsciously rubbed her eyes, then sat up from the ground and looked around with a confused look on her face.

Lawns, fountains, pools, terraces… carved brick roads covered with mud and moss, exquisite sculptures with broken corners, untended green land withered and yellowed patches, and dilapidated gardens overgrown with weeds. Everything looks so strange, yet so familiar…

Is this... the old garden behind the palace?
"You finally woke up."

Looking at Filia, who was sitting stupidly on the withered grass with messy hair, Prince Andrei, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but chuckle. Then he continued to set up the easel and said with a nostalgic look:
"You used to love sleeping on the lawn, especially in the summer when it wasn't that hot. You always pestered me to bring you an umbrella and play in this garden.

When he got tired from playing, he didn’t even wipe the sweat off his face. He just laid down on the ground with his parasol and began to sleep soundly. He would roll over and over in his sleep, and his little face was rubbed like a mud monkey. My mother scolded him many times because of this..."

Brother Andre...

Seeing the gentle expression on Prince Andre's face, Filia's flustered heart suddenly relaxed unconsciously, and she couldn't help but ask:

"Just now……"

"I just controlled that troublesome cleaner and saved you from him. You are safe now."

"Ah... that's good..."

"..."

Looking at the emerald-eyed girl who stood there after asking a question and did not come over, Prince Andre blinked in surprise, then seemed to understand something and frowned and said:

"Did he say anything to you?"

"Um……"

Of course, Felia knew who Andre was referring to as "he". Thinking of what Leon had said before, the emerald-eyed girl couldn't help biting her lip, but in the end she chose to speak directly and confessed:

“That person told me that… you tried to kill me at least twice.

When you attacked the director of the Scorpio branch, you probably didn't know that I had been taken away by Leon, but in order to prevent me from being taken away by the Scorpio director, you finally gave the order to bombard Administrative District 38 where the Cleanup Bureau was located.

Also, you let Atifi 00 replace me and control the long-range weapons of the entire kingdom. Once you see a suspicious target leaving the capital, you will immediately start saturation bombing... Is this true?"

"..."

After listening to the question from the emerald-eyed girl, Prince Andre couldn't help but fall silent, then nodded slightly.

"Well...I did give those two orders."

"..."

"But you know, I have to do this."

Seeing the disappointed look on his beloved sister's face, Andre couldn't help but sigh and explained sincerely:

“Filia, you are also a formal member recognized by the King-Slaying Society. You know the situation over there. You and I are both bound by constraints. We must ensure that the bloodline of the Korok royal family is cut off, and I only have one chance to ambush the director of the Scorpio Branch.

If I had held back during the attack because of your situation and had failed to keep him there, once he had abandoned the other cleaners and forcibly taken you out of the Kingdom of Korok, both of us would have been "restrained" and executed. " "Well... I know. "

The emerald-eyed girl nodded and responded softly:

"I don't blame you. After all, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been unable to suppress my curiosity and had to take the risk to get close to Leon, you wouldn't have had to make this choice. I was too willful."

"It's not your fault."

Prince Andrei shook his head upon hearing this, and said with a headache:
“I agreed when you went. After all, my previous actions did not reveal any flaws. In the eyes of the people in the Cleanup Bureau, the entire royal family should still be alive. There is no need for them to take action against you.

But that Leon..."

Thinking of the guy in "Palace Night Banquet" who could find his pain points and attack him crazily even after being turned into a clown, Prince Andre's mouth twitched twice, and then he said helplessly:
“He’s not normal.

Feilia, after he captured you, I really thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out. He clearly didn't know the situation, so why did he capture you without hesitation..."

"..."

After listening to her brother's complaints, the emerald-eyed girl raised her hand with lingering fear, touched the back of her head that had been cut by Leon, and fell silent.

Indeed, that pervert is indeed outrageous.

Before I decided to contact him, I used the intelligent core to perform repeated calculations. No matter how I calculated, the final result was that he would not attack me. But that pervert dared to do so. After chatting with me for a few words, he started to arrest people without saying a word.

As for how to evaluate that person... after much thought, there is only one word that fits, and that is "not quite normal".

……

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

The two siblings, who were extremely tired of Leon's "abnormal behavior", were silent for a while. Prince Andre took the initiative to break the silence. While lowering his head to tidy up the easel, he comforted them:
“At that time, the trap for Director Scorpio had not yet been launched. My goal was to stabilize them as much as possible, so no matter if it was you or me, one of us had to contact Leon.

And if you hadn't asked to go, I would have been the one he caught, and the situation would have been worse than it is now. Anyway, it's not your fault that you got caught."

"Um……"

After nodding and accepting the comfort, the emerald-eyed girl looked at the easel in front of Andre and asked hesitantly:
"Brother Andre, are you going to paint my portrait again?"

"Yes."

After stretching the canvas on the rack, Prince Andre nodded, then cleaned the brush with turpentine and responded with focused eyes:
"When I painted you in the past, I only drew your likeness. Although there was no problem with the technique, I could never capture that hazy feeling. But now it's different. I have the confidence to paint the most complete you."

"That's good……"

The emerald-eyed girl nodded when she heard this, then pursed her lips slightly and asked:

"Brother Andre, can I know why you couldn't draw me well in the past, but now you have the confidence and feel that you can draw me well?"

"..."

After hearing Filia's question, Prince Andre, who was outlining the lines, was startled for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the emerald-eyed girl, frowning slightly and saying:

"Why do you ask?"

"I just want to know an answer..."

Felia clenched her fists slightly, raised her head and looked directly at Prince Andrei in front of her, and asked softly:

"Brother Andre, is the person you have been drawing really me?"
