Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 429 Harmonious Meeting (Part 1)

After hearing the identity of the so-called "helper", Joshua's scalp suddenly numbed, and he even felt a strange phantom pain on his face.

If there was one person in the entire kingdom that the Freckled Prince was most afraid of, if a certain cheap brother-in-law considered himself second, no one would be able to rank first.

After all, even if he did something ridiculous and angered the old king, he would only be scolded a few times and then imprisoned for a few days. If the queen interceded, even the confinement could be omitted.

But if you offend a cheap brother-in-law, you will really be slapped hard by the big mouth, and you will even be slapped unconscious and then wake up. After treating the injury, you will continue to be slapped until the other person's anger subsides.

What's even more desperate than this is that after the other party whipped him, he didn't receive any punishment at all.

Touching his face, which had been slapped several times, Joshua could not help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his eyes.

The royal family needs to rely on the other party's status as a duke to accept the political legacy of the Lane family, so it will not pursue the other party's crime of beating the prince, and will only choose to settle the matter.

And when he reported it to the Cleanup Bureau and asked them to control this lunatic, the reply he received was that it had nothing to do with them.

Those idiots actually thought that, considering the marriage relationship between the madman and Veronica, it was determined that this kind of household chores belonging to the royal family would not violate the rules of the Cleanup Bureau as long as the other party did not use abnormal objects to harm themselves.

So as a prince, I was slapped hard by someone who was loudmouthed in my own kingdom, and in the end I didn't even have a place to reason. How can there be such a reason in the world?

…

"Uncle! Why do you want to ask him for help?"

After looking through the gap in the curtain and seeing a familiar figure at the deputy speaker's seat, the freckled prince couldn't help but instinctively shrink his neck, then turned around and complained:

"That man is a lunatic! He really doesn't care about the situation when he is in a hurry. Can't you discuss it with me before you find help?"

"You just came back from the Kingdom of Morna last night, how can I discuss this with you? Also, pay attention to your manners!"

Looking at his nephew who had some fear on his face, the finance minister couldn't help but frown, and reprimanded with a slightly displeased expression:

"Stand up straight! Straighten your back! You are the only prince of the kingdom! In the future, you will inherit the throne and become the next king of the kingdom! What are you afraid of?"

"I...I'm not afraid of him, but there are so many people outside. If he comes and beats me later..."

"Why should he hit you? Although he has beaten you in the past, that was when the Lane family was still useful, and Veronica was backing him up, so he dared to be so unscrupulous.

Now that Veronica is under house arrest in her bedroom, the value of the Lane family has been drained, and he is nothing more than a hollow Duke.

If he is really crazy and dares to attack you in front of so many people, then fight him back! If you can't beat him, call the guards! Just because the royal family didn't touch him in the past doesn't mean that they can't touch him now! What's there to be afraid of? "

It seems...right?

After hearing what his uncle said, Joshua couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Yes, things are different now. The Kingdom can definitely punish him! Without the guard of honor 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 finance minister's words, the freckled prince couldn't help but straighten his back, raised his head majestically, and glared viciously in the direction of Lyon through the curtain in front of him.

Damn shit! This time I want to see how arrogant you can be! Without Veronica to back you up, you're just a...a...

"Hey..." After meeting Leon's eyes looking over through the gap in the curtain, Joshua couldn't help but gasped subconsciously.

Although Leon on the seat did not have any unnecessary expression, his eyes were staring at him through the gap in the curtain without blinking. After noticing his gaze, the corners of his mouth even curled up. Qiao, showing... a rather pleased expression.

What are you happy about? you tell me! What makes you happy at this time?

"Okay, it's almost time."

Just when Joshua's eyes widened and he instinctively felt that something was wrong, the finance minister took out his pocket watch, took a look at it, and then urged:

"Hurry out, it's your turn to take the stage and make a royal declaration."

"Uncle, I...I think..."

"Get out quickly! Let's talk about it later!"

“…”

Although he felt that something was not right in his heart, as the attendant opened the curtain in front of him, the freckled prince could only walk out of the preparation area under the gaze of the pleased eyes, and boarded the platform prepared for the royal declaration. On the main stage, he read out the speech he had prepared in advance.

"I, the first prince Joshua, appointed by the current king of the kingdom, would like to represent the king and the entire royal family to attend this meeting of the House of Lords."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

After reciting the awkward opening sentence a little awkwardly, Joshua, who was made numb by someone's pleased eyes, lowered his head, stared at the speech, raised his right hand and swore:

"I will replace the current king and promise to the participating members of the House of Representatives and all the subjects of the kingdom that this upper house meeting will abide by the kingdom's code and the rules of the house, in accordance with...uphold...obey...maintain..."

As if being chased by a savage beast, Joshua finished reading the manuscript in a hurry and spoke very fast. Under the dissatisfied gaze of the finance minister, Joshua tilted his head and said in a embarrassed manner:

"I...my declaration ends here. Next, I would like to ask the Speaker to preside over the parliament and...read a motion!"

After hastily performing his duties, the freckled prince's tense expression relaxed slightly. He hurriedly put down his speech and quickly climbed up to the golden throne behind the main stage. He cautiously sat on half his buttocks and then looked at him warily. To the seat of acting speaker.

As the imperial declaration ended, the prince representing the royal family sat on the throne behind the main stage. More than a hundred non-voting members in the entire venue, plus more than 800 side members, a total of a thousand pairs of eyes, all looked at him. took the speaker's seat.

…

It's great. This time I don't have to worry about the princess being too determined to make a coup. You guys can't pick this peach too soon.

Smiling at the surprised Joshua on the throne, and giving him an encouraging look, Leon stood up and left the speaker's chair, stepping onto the red-carpeted steps onto the main stage.

Immediately afterwards, two guards brought up the single-person podium prepared for the speaker. Leon stood behind the single-person podium with his back to Joshua, picking up the silver hammer on the table and the golden hammer next to the podium. A strong strike on the wall clock.

"I declare!"

Looking around the audience at the congressman sitting on the red seat, Leon announced with a smile on his face:

"The political... Upper House meeting has officially begun!"
