The eminence of a true king

"It's really terrible. Why are you three so rebellious? I must have been a terrible person in my past life!"

Orphans covered his throbbing abdomen and looked at the children in front of him with a complaining face.

Whether it is Leon, Anisphia or Algard, their three children are very troublesome.

It must be said that his own ideas are very firm.

It is difficult for others to change their will. If the methods used are a little harsher, these three stubborn children will show a tougher side.

(Because I can't have a single day of peace!!!)

On the other side, Euphilia silently looked at the royal family drama in front of her, with a bit of envy and desire in her eyes.

[Prince Leon and Princess Anisphia, they are really the opposite of me. They are walking unwaveringly on the path of their ideals and unyielding.]

[It's completely different from someone like me, who only does what I'm told to do.]

"Ahh, forget it, my stomach has already reached its limit. Continuing to discuss your topic is harmful to my body. I really hope you and Anisphia study more and behave better!" The king said between his teeth.

"Yes~Ok~No problem~" x2

Leon and Anis were extremely superficial.

Orphans was so angry that his veins popped out.

He thought that if the Prime Minister wasn't here, although there was nothing he could do to Leon, at least he could teach Anisphia a lesson!

After the King sighed, he turned to the silver-haired girl beside him.

"Euphilia, it's the royal family's fault this time, who left you with bad memories. I apologize to you not as king, but as Algard's father."

"Ehh!? Your Majesty, please raise your head. Everything is my problem. It was my own lack of skill that caused this situation."

Euphilia quickly waved her hands, she was just the duke's daughter, how could she let the king lower his head to her?

However, Orphans was truly sorry. He reluctantly made his friend agree to the engagement, but in the end, his son broke the contract in public, although Leon tried his best to salvage the situation.

But Euphilia's reputation did indeed suffer some negative effects.

Because this world is irrational, even if he leaves the responsibility to Algard, there will still be people saying this behind her back... This is a problem caused by Euphilia's lack of ability.

As she lacked charm, the prince abandoned her for a baron's daughter.

After all, if bad words about the royal family were to leak out, the consequences would be serious, but the Duke was different.

Although his title is higher than yours, they are both nobles, so the person facing him belongs to the "same level" as him, but is "higher than him".

Therefore, jealousy would cause many nobles to speak ill of the Duke's family behind their backs. Euphilia's engagement was called off in public, which was an excellent point of blame.

"No matter how stupid I am, I still don't know why His Highness Algard behaved this way, but there must be some mistake on my part."

Euphilia blamed herself a lot and said that because of her guilt, her family could become the target of ridicule in the future.

"Ahh, this guy actually has a very distorted personality," said Leon.

"Yes, he was a lot easier to get along with when we were younger, but now he's really prickly. That's really troublesome." A is said.

"Look who's talking!!"

The King complained with all his strength.

He held his forehead tiredly, thinking that maybe he didn't understand from Leon and Anis' perspective, but it was very clear from his perspective as a father... His third son, Algard, is actually... He has an inferiority complex!

And this is also because of Leon and Anis.

There are so many fantastic things these two have accomplished.

"Magic Science" and "Magic Medicine" are researches that could go down in history and that truly increased the kingdom's strength and helped the people.

Furthermore, Leon and Anis often go out to fight high-risk monsters. Although this is a bit absurd from the perspective of a prince and princess, many border territories have been saved by them so far.

Innovative technology, improved medicine, protection of the people, and someone even dealt with the cancerous cult that had been eating away at the kingdom for hundreds of years.

Leon and Anisphia are very dazzling, but Algard has no extraordinary talent and can only follow the path set by others.

Countless comments from the outside world were directed at this prince who had such a huge contrast.

"If His Highness Leon had been born to the queen."

"If only his hair was blonde."

"Prince Algard has no talent."

"It's a shame. His Highness the Second Prince is probably more suitable for this throne."

The King sighed as he thought about it.

He himself had to admit that he sometimes thought that if Leon was the queen's son, there would be no need to worry about anything.

He wouldn't even need to teach. Maybe like Leom said, a true king doesn't need to be taught...

"Euphilia, the king said that this incident is not your fault. Now that you are free from your mission, do you have any plans for the future?"

Grantz asked his daughter.

Euphilia shook her head, confused.

She is like a canary that has been locked in a cage since she was born. Even if the cage is suddenly opened and she can fly away, she doesn't know where to fly.

Leon raised his eyebrows, he understood this.

"I see, she's really a good girl."

"Well, Your Highness, what does that mean?"

"Grants, I'm afraid you've made too many decisions for your daughter. She's been living up to the tasks assigned by you until now. She's too obedient."

This duke's daughter is already used to being ordered to do things. I'm afraid this is also related to the teachings she received from childhood.

As a future queen, Euphilia would need to be intelligent, knowledgeable, and strong, and should not be stubborn, bother others, or act as she pleases.

She had to erase her own personality.

Grants was all shaken up.

Why didn't he ever see his daughter's sincere smile again? When she was a child, her daughter who was learning magic with a smile on her face never smiled sincerely after she was given the responsibility of becoming the queen.

(Ah, what have I done?)

"Has your daughter ever said she wants to be queen?"

"No."

"She said she wanted to learn swordsmanship?"

"No."

"She said she wanted to marry Algard?"

".....…No."

This powerful Duke and Prime Minister looked very sad at that moment and felt like he no longer had the face to see his daughter again.

Leon also sighed. It's truly unfortunate for a girl who has been put on a leash like this since she was a child to have her personality and dreams destroyed.

"That's so pitiful~"

Euphilia looked at Leon blankly.

Whether it was finding out the truth when she was framed by the third prince, or telling her true identity to her father now... Leon really managed to see through her.
