Chapter 170: 169 Who is she?

169 Who is she?

You're still thinking about milk candy, while I'm about to lose my husband!

After affectionately pinching the little girl's cheek, just as the Princess was about to call out to Leon to ask why he had suddenly abandoned her, a hoarse, aged voice suddenly rang out from the window nearby.

"Hello."

Startled by the tone, which sounded like a sharp object scraping against glass, the Princess looked toward the sound and discovered an old woman with skin like a chicken and hair like a crane, reaching out her arms toward her.

"Can you return Fei Liya to me?"

"Ah, okay!"

Noticing the vigilant look in the other party's eyes and feeling that she might have misunderstood something, to avoid being treated as a child trafficker, the Princess hurriedly put down the little girl in her arms.

However, when she was handed the two silver wheels earlier, the Princess had been slightly stunned, and now, delayed by the old woman who had suddenly appeared, Leon, riding on the broom, had already flown far away.

Forget it, anyway I know his

After looking at Leon's receding back, the Princess couldn't help but sigh.

Today was truly... not only did she encounter an assassination attempt by rebels, but she also got herself married off without any preparation, and the Prince she chose seems to be a rather strange person.

Especially just now, one second he asked her to help take care of the child, and the next second he seemed to have forgotten who she was. Not only did his attitude become polite and distant, but he even inexplicably gave her two silver wheels...

Truly a strange person, but since Leon is that person from the Cleaning Bureau, it seems normal for him to be a bit strange?

Shaking her head with a belly full of confusion, the Princess straightened her dress, squatted down, pulled open the little girl's dirty little black hand, placed a shiny silver wheel into it, and then smiled and patted the little girl's bottom.

"Money for you, go to your real grandma and let her buy you candy~"

"Grandma?"

Looking at the silvery-white coin in her hand, the little girl tilted her head in surprise.

"Fei Liya's grandma is already dead, she died many years ago."

This child's grandma is already dead? Then who is the person talking to me?

After hearing the little girl's words, the Princess's brows furrowed slightly, then she looked up toward the old woman in the window in the distance, asking politely but vigilantly:

"Excuse me, who are you to this child?"

After raising her brows, which were full of fine wrinkles, and giving the Princess in front of her a meaningful look, the old woman with skin like a chicken and hair like a crane smiled and answered calmly:

"My name is Lucy, I am Fei Liya's sister."???

You are Fei Liya's sister?

Upon hearing this, the Princess was slightly startled, and then her tightly furrowed brows didn't loosen, but tightened even more.

Impossible! You look like you're over sixty, little Fei Liya looks like she's only five or six years old, how could she be your older sister?

"Lucy!"

Just as the Princess was frowning, starting to suspect that the old woman might have some mental issues, the little girl suddenly took a step and ran happily toward the old woman.

"Lucy, be good~"

After standing on tiptoe to touch the old woman's head of silver hair, the little girl used her dirty little hand to hold the silver coin up in front of the old woman, then, imitating Princess Veronika's words from just now, said affectionately:

"You call me sister, and I'll buy you candy~"

"..."

Looking at the innocent little girl in front of her, a faint trace of sadness flashed in the old woman's eyes. She then obediently lowered her head, letting Fei Liya touch the top of her head without having to stand on tiptoe, and then answered softly with that hoarse, eerie, and strange voice:

"Sister, no matter what you become, you will always be my sister."

"..."

So... it turns out it's not Grandma who has mental issues, but this child who has some intellectual problems?

Noticing the sadness in the old woman's eyes and looking at her lowering her head and letting little Fei Liya touch her, Princess Veronika couldn't help but fall silent. She didn't continue to disturb this pair of strange "sisters," but

turned around and walked back toward the main hall.

Some things are almost impossible to change, whether it's this little girl's innate foolishness or the deep-rooted greed in the human heart.

The only thing she can do is rely on the power possessed by the status of Princess to try to put shackles on that excessive greed, so that these innate sufferings can be a little happier.

And her marriage with Leon will undoubtedly speed up this progress significantly, so everything is worth it!

"What's going on?"

"Did I faint?"

"What just happened... Count? Wake up!"

When the Princess re-entered the hall where the knighthood ceremony was being held, some of the people who had fainted due to the 【Heartbeat Moment】 had already woken up.

It's just that those who had woken up so far were mostly young people or attendants and guards with better physical conditions. Those with higher status were generally older, and their physical tolerance was poorer, so most were still fainted. No one stood out to preside over the situation, and the hall was almost in chaos.

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

After looking at the situation in the hall, which was like a "dragon without a head," Princess Veronika couldn't help but shake her head. She then tidied her shawl, covering the black little handprint on her chest, and then clapped her hands hard to attract everyone's attention, instructing those who had already woken up:

"The top priority now is to wake people up. People from the Vinsmoke family go find a doctor, and people from other families first carry their own fainted people upstairs."

"As for those whose whole family hasn't woken up, let the Laien family be responsible. Incidentally, check the condition of the fainted people. After the Vinsmoke family brings a doctor, we can prioritize rescuing those whose conditions are more serious."

Seems... that is indeed what should be done now?

After hearing Princess Veronika's instructions, the chaotic hall fell silent for a while, and then someone began to subconsciously follow suit. These people's actions also led more people to start acting, and the chaotic hall gradually became orderly.

However, even though they subconsciously followed the other party's instructions and started acting, a strange question appeared in the hearts of most people.

This woman who is issuing orders... who is she?

"What? You encountered rebels holding anomalous objects again? And you were almost tricked by them?"

After hearing Leon finish talking about today's encounter, the red-haired Director blinked her fox eyes and said with some surprise:

"Strange, although after joining the Cleaning Bureau, the possibility of encountering anomalies generally increases with the level of infection, but isn't the number of times you've had trouble a bit too high?"

"I also feel that something is not quite right, suspecting that I might have been hit by some curse..."

Leon nodded upon hearing this and said helplessly:

"But the Black Goat said that he guarantees as a Great Demon that there is absolutely no anomaly on me. At the very least, it can't see any problems, so it suggested I come directly to you to ask and see what the situation is." ===== CHAPTER 171 =====
