The eminence of a true king

"In fact, I did something that killed my daughter's character. I'm sorry, Euphilia, I'm such an incompetent father. I must have made things difficult for you until now."

"Please don't say such things, father. I never complained about you. This responsibility was also something I accepted willingly."

Euphilia shook her head vigorously in denial.

She is used to being asked to do everything perfectly and has accepted arrangements at home.

Leon also sighed regretfully.

A girl cannot choose her own path.

But even so, you can't stand still.

therefore.

"No one can stop you now, so decide, what are you going to do next? Make your own choice."

Leon gently reminded him that perhaps his request was difficult, but it was indeed an opportunity for transformation.

The cage that held Euphilia Magenta was broken, and she now had two paths.

The first is to remain trapped in the cage and live a life determined by others.

The second is to fly out of the cage with all your might. Even if she doesn't know the direction, it doesn't matter. Anyway, fly out first.

"Your Highness is right, Euphie, now is the time to bring back your original self. No matter what it is, your useless father will help you... even if it means going against the king's wishes."

Grantz said with regret and determination that he had dedicated decades to the kingdom and that his daughter had dedicated decades to him.

He already owes his daughter a lot and, as a father, he needs to make up for his mistakes.

"If you still want to be a queen, then let me find a way. But if you don't, then let's go home, rest at home for a while, and then slowly figure out what you want to do."

"Father..."

The silver-haired girl was surprised by her father's kindness, which was different from the father he knew, who had always trained him strictly and was full of majesty.

Orphans said dumbfounded.

"Euphilia, actually Grantz loves you deeply, but... this guy is really stupid with his mouth, and he also has facial paralysis. When I forced you to make an engagement, this guy almost ripped my hair out with his sword, hahaha ."

"Father, actually..."

"Sorry, I'm not very good at that aspect of things. Haha, sometimes I'm really jealous of my wife who has a good relationship with you."

Grants even smiled with a straight face.

This prime minister was really the ultimate facial paralysis, and that paralyzed face was very majestic and his mouth was stupid, so he inadvertently alienated Euphilia.

At this moment, he awkwardly raised his head and touched his daughter's head. Euphilia felt that her nose was a little sore.

This is the kind of treatment she received from her father before accepting her fate.

"Dad, I actually... don't want to be a princess." Euphilia gathered her courage.

"Okay, then we won't do that."

Grantz nodded seriously, but the silver-haired girl showed a helpless and miserable smile.

"I'm sorry dad, but this won't work. Although I don't want to be a princess, but... I can only become a princess."

Now it's too late.

Euphilia Magenta was trained as a future princess from an early age.

She learns all the knowledge and skills necessary to be a princess, and doesn't even want to stifle her own personality and the possibility of having other dreams.

It's not as easy as the princess said.

But this means that all your efforts of more than ten years have been wasted. Euphilia Magenta... She is already a girl who can only become a princess.

"But Father, please allow me to do this one rebellious thing!"

"I allow everything."

"Thank you, father. Since I can only be the princess, I will accept that fate, but please give me the power to choose. I want to... choose the king I want to serve!"

Euphilia mustered the courage to make a decision.

Leon was a little surprised at that moment. He didn't expect her to say such words. There was indeed a desire for transformation in his eyes.

The King's eyes twitched, Grantz opened his eyes wide and then smiled.

"Okay, okay, yes, it's up to you to decide who you want to support, and as a father, I want to support my daughter's decision."

"Uh, Grantz..."

"Your Majesty, please don't say anything else. I've already decided, and you owe it to my family this time, right?"

"Arrgh! Forget it, okay, okay, I owe you so much I can't even count it."

The King smiled bitterly and scratched his head. Although things seemed to be developing in a subtle direction, he was still happy for the reconciliation between his best friend and his daughter.

At the same time, Orphans looked at Leon and thought that Euphilia had really changed. His son seemed to have the power to change things.

On the other side, Grantz looked at his daughter with an air of love.

"So, Euphie, who do you want to support?"

"Father, I want to support His Highness Leon! Please agree that your decision at today's banquet was very wonderful. I believe this is the Lord's true style."

"Hmm? So sudden?"

Leon blinked in astonishment. Unexpectedly, it suddenly dawned on him. The duke's daughter's eyes seemed to shine as she looked at him.

"There is no need to explain anything. I support all of your decisions, and in the final analysis... I am also someone who holds His Highness Leon in high regard."

Grantz nodded to his daughter, then turned to Leon and performed standard gentlemanly etiquette.

"Your Highness Leon, in the name of the Duke of Magenta, I pledge allegiance to you. From now on, the Duke's family will fully support you in ascension to the throne. Please allow me to join your camp."

"I never expected to one day be supported by the kingdom's greatest duke and prime minister, but is that right? I just said that it would weaken the power of the nobility. Although I say there is something wrong with that, I am prepared to be an enemy of all the nobility.

"As expected of Your Highness, the Duke's family is at your disposal, and I think what you said before is right... Instead of letting incompetent people succeed, choosing the best people will make the kingdom prosperous."

Grantz said this, his tone revealing a confidence very similar to Leon's before.

"I see, that's great. Very well, I agree. Welcome to my camp, Duke Magenta."

Leon raised the corners of his lips with a smile and reached out to Duke Grants. The silver-haired duke immediately grabbed Leon's hand.

"It is an honor for me, Your Highness, and... my daughter will be entrusted to you from now on."

As you can see from the new cover, I decided to make the MC look the same as Lelouch from Code Geass. However, his eyes are still golden.
