"Have you already gone to my bedroom to get the documents?"
Upon hearing the Chancellor of the Exchequer's words, the princess, who was just moments ago both shocked and angry, gradually calmed down and turned her gaze to the old King seated at the main position.
If modifying the succession decree or even hoping Joshua would replace her might be something the Queen and the Chancellor of the Exchequer decided on their own, then ordering someone directly to her bedroom to retrieve the proposal document must have been done with her father's tacit approval.
No, possibly more than just tacit approval.
Looking at the old King sitting in the wheelchair directly under the crystal chandelier, with half his face hidden in the shadows, Princess Veronica took a deep breath, then sat back in her chair and asked calmly:
"Father, is this your intention?"
"Yes."
