Chapter 637 Night Attack (Part )
Royal Mail: Good news, the robin and the lion are about to get married
The Critic: "A new king is coming, and the princess may officially take the throne after the wedding"
New Industrial News: "The princess' wedding is approaching, the following sectors may have favorable conditions in the near future"
Corner Alley News: "Countdown, 19 days left for the wedding of the century!"
The Sun: "Who plucked the rose in the capital? 15 past affairs of the man"
"..."
After knocking on his neighbor's door in the middle of the night and borrowing recent newspapers, Lyon was caught off guard and was completely defeated when he saw the reports on the newspapers, each one more exaggerated than the last.
Good news, I'm getting married soon.
Bad news, I seem to be the last one to know.
"?"
Seeing Leon's "caught off guard" look, Anna was puzzled and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Brother? What's wrong with you? Are you not ready yet?"
"..."
Am I not prepared? I have no chance to prepare at all!
After his mouth twitched twice, Leon couldn't help but said speechlessly:
"Princess...Veronica...what did she tell you? She said I agreed to get married next month?"
"That's not true..."
From Leon's expression, she found that things seemed to be a little different from what she knew. The thin girl couldn't help but blinked, and then said in surprise:
"Sister Veronica said that she felt the progress was a bit too fast, and there have been a lot of things going on recently. She hopes to date you for a while longer before considering getting married.
But you were very anxious, worried that she might have other plans, so you kept urging her. Then, when you came back from this business trip, you gave her a very precious gift, which touched her beyond words...
Anyway, seeing how worried you were, she had no choice but to agree to your proposal... well... she also told me to persuade you more when I have time, and told you not to worry, because you are the only one in her heart forever."
"..."
After hearing this, it cannot be said that it was different from the truth. It can only be said that it was a retelling that was not even close to the truth. Lyon's mind was suddenly confused and he was speechless for a long time.
Noticing that Leon looked different, Anna couldn't help but ask worriedly:
"Brother...did you have a fight before?"
"..."
We didn’t argue before, but I really want to argue with her now!
"It's okay... We just had a little misunderstanding, we can talk it out."
Faced with his sister's worried eyes, Leon held back for a while and finally said nothing. Instead, he tried to give a kind smile.
"I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to bed first. You should also get some rest early."
“Well…then you should go and rest first…” After looking at Leon worriedly, Anna, who had a relatively gentle personality except when educating her children, did not continue to ask, but said softly:
“Brother, although… although I have never been in a relationship, I have heard others say that when two people are together, the most important thing is communication.
Sister Veronica has been too busy recently. Every time she comes to see you, she looks overworked. It’s true that she may not be considerate in some places, but she definitely cares about you. If you have any conflicts, you can communicate well and maybe you can resolve them directly. "
"..."
Although, do you think it is possible that the biggest conflict between us now is that she decided on the marriage without even communicating with me?
He was too embarrassed to say that he had been cheated. After mumbling a few words, Leon yawned and went into his bedroom. Then, the moment the door closed, he climbed out of the window without hesitation, climbed down the floor, and then ran all the way towards the palace.
We must bring an army to hold the culprit accountable! We must bring an army to hold the culprit accountable immediately!
Although... Veronica was not a bad person to marry, and in a sense, she was indeed a good candidate for marriage, but it was still a bit too weird to be "tied" to death without any reason! This was absolutely not allowed!
……
It’s late at night…
After looking at the hour hand on the wall which had already reached 12, the tired-looking female official couldn't help but open her mouth and yawned secretly. Then she continued to force herself to be alert and handed the document to be signed to Princess Veronica.
"Your Highness, this is the budget form sent back by the Ministry of Finance.
They believe that the kingdom is facing financial difficulties recently, and it is too expensive to directly approve the construction of a new park. They should directly distribute some of the scholars and workers from the Kingdom of Korok to the existing factory system in the kingdom. In this way..."
"If that's the case, it would be like making wedding clothes for them."
After receiving the budget from the lady-in-waiting and writing a rather uncivilized reply, Princess Veronica raised her hand to call the attendant on the other side and calmly said:
"Please draft a reply for me. Just say that the kingdom's existing industrial system is difficult to connect to the Korok Kingdom's technology and processes. Although doing so can save costs, it will destroy the Korok Kingdom's original highly efficient industrial model.
In addition, dispersing the talents of the Kingdom of Korok will not help the kingdom digest the newly acquired technology. After all, the core of industrial development is always scale and... Forget it, don't write a reply, just draft a warrant, and you can remember the general meaning. "
After frowning and thinking for a few seconds, Princess Veronica slowed down her speech and said:
“According to the new bill recently passed by the Senate, if the Ministry of Finance cannot prove that the proposal has major flaws, it should first cooperate in promoting the operation of the proposal and raise questions again after verification. Before that, it shall not reject my proposed budget without reason.
This rejection, which is completely contrary to the spirit of the new bill, not only slows down the time needed for the kingdom's development, but also deliberately increases internal friction. It is a crime against the kingdom and all citizens, so I would like to reprimand the Budget Bureau of the Ministry of Finance..."
After using relatively elegant words to express her intention of "do it if you can, get out if you can't", Princess Veronica handed the written reply document to the female official and then made a request:
“After that, you need to help me take a closer look at the documents sent by the Ministry of Finance. If they are still relying on their power to gain benefits from the kingdom, just reject them and deal with them as we did today.
If similar situations occur repeatedly, then do not hesitate. While rejecting the offer, send a letter directly to both the inspection and audit departments at the same time, requesting an investigation into the person...Are there any other documents to be signed?"
"some!"
After noting down Princess Veronica's instructions, the female official quickly handed over another document that had been prepared long ago, and then began to introduce:
"This is a note from the Northern Kingdom. They want to send the former king's sister to attend your wedding with Prince Leon."
"That's it..."
After hearing the words "wedding" and "Leon", Princess Veronica's expression softened slightly, but then quickly hardened again and refused:
"Reply and reject! If the Northern Kingdom wants to come, only envoys at the level of Foreign Minister are allowed to attend. People with higher diplomatic ranks are refused entry!"
