Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 582: All Rumors
"What did you say?"

Looking at the lazy young man in front of her with a tired face, Princess Veronica stood up from her chair and asked with shock in her eyes:
"Tell me again? What happened to the Kingdom of Korok?"

"The Kingdom of Korok is gone, and all of its territory has been burned down. The 1.3 million citizens who survived the disaster are ready to join our kingdom, and we need you to be ready to receive them."

After repeating the message the director had asked him to pass on, Tom, with two big dark circles under his eyes, added with drooping eyelids:
“The decision to accept the refugees from the Kingdom of Korok was made by Leon… um… your prince. According to him, during his diplomatic mission to the Kingdom of Korok, he noticed the internal strife in the royal family of Korok, and accepted the invitation of the sixth princess, Felia, to help the royal family of Korok put things right.

However, although he had tried his best, he was alone and had insufficient manpower, and there was a sudden natural disaster, so he failed to save the Kingdom of Korok. He only managed to save the citizens of the Kingdom of Korok and a small part of the precious facilities..."

That is to say... during this mission, Lyon brought back all the "essence" of the entire Korok Kingdom?

After listening to what Tom said, Princess Veronica couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a blush of excitement appeared on her pretty cheeks.

It turns out that pie in the sky really does fall!

No! That can't be said, this pie didn't fall from the sky, but Leon found it for him! The effect of his mission was simply... God... How did he do it?
Even now, she still couldn't believe that such a huge golden pie would fall on the kingdom with a bang. Princess Veronica was so excited that she felt dizzy. She had no choice but to hold on to the desk and slowly sat back in her seat. Then she nodded slightly and said,
"Got it. I will immediately arrange for personnel to receive the citizens of the Kingdom of Korok and ensure that nothing goes wrong... Mr. Tom, besides these, does Leon have anything else for you to tell him?"

“It seems to be gone.”

After frowning and recalling for a while, the lazy young man shook his head and said:

"That's all the Director asked me to relay. Although not all of the words are original, the meaning should not be missed... Oh, right."

When he said this, he suddenly remembered something and said:

"If I must say something, I have one more thing to say. He knows that the kingdom has been in financial difficulties in recent years. The military and mining reforms are imminent, and money is needed everywhere. The burden of suddenly resettling 1.3 million people is huge. So if the kingdom cannot afford it, it can also cooperate with the Kingdom of Alesund..."

"no need!"

Just as a certain prince who had already embarked on a road of no return had guessed, when Princess Veronica heard the word "cooperation", she did not hesitate for even a fraction of a second and immediately rejected it flatly:

“It is our kingdom’s duty to help disaster victims, even if our finances are tight!

Mr. Tom, please tell Leon not to worry about the kingdom's financial problems and bring back as many people as he can! Even if I have to sell the palace for money, I will definitely be able to settle everyone!"

"Okay, I'll find a way to tell him."

"sorry to bother you."

After politely thanking the lazy young man and calling a female official to escort him out of her office, Princess Veronica, with a reserved look, breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she moved the pile of documents on the table, picked up a small photo frame that was polished to a shine, and then kissed the helpless photo of Leon in the frame hard, and said to herself with a smile:

"Just a kiss for now, I'll make up for the rest when you come back~"...

Phew... I'm finally back...

After walking down the ferry with the emerald-eyed girl and stepping onto the dock of the Royal Capital Canal, Leon suddenly felt relaxed and felt a lot more at ease.

After being away for more than a month and going through so much trouble, I finally returned to my familiar land. The originally disgusting and noisy world actually became lovely.

The constant blaring of whistles on the canal all year round, the lingering sour smell beneath the chimneys, the wooden flooring that has been trampled so hard that you can't tell its original color anymore, everything is so familiar...even the shifty-eyed pickpockets on the dock don't look as hateful as before.

He kicked down the pickpocket who was cutting a purse, and sent the pickpocket to the security office at the dock amid the owner's gratitude. Then, Lyon paid the fare with the five copper wheel bonus given by the security office, and boarded the carriage to the police department with Filia.

The 1.3 million citizens of the Kingdom of Korok had already arrived at the inner harbor of Ryan County by ship and were receiving initial resettlement. As long as he could escort Princess Filia to the Cleanup Bureau and hand her over to the director, this investigation mission would be completely completed and he could apply for leave.

Before I left, although I had told Anna and the others that I would not be able to go home for a long time, this was the first time I was away for such a long time, and I didn't know if they were used to it... Hmm...

Looking at Filia, who was secretly clutching the hem of her skirt and looked very nervous, Leon couldn't help but raise his brows slightly.

Although she was once the omnipotent Atifi 01, Filia, who has lost her omnipotent core, is now only a child of twelve or thirteen years old. The kingdom is her home, but it is a completely unfamiliar place to her.

Considering her identity as a former member of the King-Slaying Society and the last descendant of the Korok royal family, she would inevitably be closely "protected" by the entire Cleansing Bureau in the future. Even if I tried to plead for her, it would be difficult for her to have any freedom.

She must have thought this through clearly. Faced with a prospect that might not be very good, her mood at the moment should be the opposite of mine, and probably quite heavy.

"Do not worry."

After reaching out and patting Filia's head, Leon looked into her uneasy green eyes, and then comforted her in a gentle voice:

"I will do what I promised your brother. Although I can't give you complete freedom and you will definitely be under heavy protection, I won't let you live a life of imprisonment. Besides, there are too many things going on at the headquarters recently, so you will probably stay in our Virgin Branch for a long time."

"Um……"

After hearing Leon's promise, the emerald-eyed girl responded softly, but the uneasiness in her eyes not only did not decrease, but became even more than before.

So...she's not worried about the Cleanup Bureau, but our Virgin Branch?

After keenly identifying the source of Felia's uneasiness through the subtle changes in her expression, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, and then said with understanding:
"Have you heard some rumors about our branch from others before?"
