Chapter 175: 174 Really?
174 Really?
"Alright."
After hearing Leon's refusal, Jie Rui couldn't help but sigh, then scratched the back of his head and said with difficulty:
"Since you have something to do at home, go back first. After the Director wakes up, I'll help you ask for leave..."
"No! No need!"
Hurriedly putting away the photo on the table, Leon carefully scrutinized the woman reporting the case, while pondering her relationship with Anna, and said:
"My side... actually isn't that urgent. How about I ask about the situation with you first, senior, and then go back."
"That's also fine..."
Seeing Leon suddenly change his mind, Jie Rui first raised his eyebrows in surprise, and after noticing Leon's gaze staring at the woman without blinking, a smile of "I understand" appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Don't even think about it!"
Reaching into his pocket and rubbing an anomalous object that could transmit sound to the soul, Jie Rui secretly nudged Leon with his elbow.
"She is already married. When she came to report the case this morning, she filled out a registration form, and the marital relationship was written as married!"
"..."
I really didn't mean that... and married? Then Anna wouldn't be...
Holding the worry that his younger sister might be a hidden "Cao Thief," Leon, whose brain was still aching slightly, invited the two into the office and sat on the guest sofa.
After placing the shopping bag containing the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang by his feet and taking out a homemade small notebook, Leon held a homemade charcoal pencil and said politely:
"This lady, I need to understand some basic situations first. Can you tell me your name again?"
"Veronika."
Looking at Leon, whose expression was gentle but carried a hidden sense of distance, the Princess couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She didn't directly reveal her relationship with Leon, but cooperated with him to answer a few questions.
"Okay."
Through the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's soul vision, confirming that she wasn't lying and everything she said so far was the truth, Leon secretly gave Jie Rui an "OK" gesture, then continued to ask:
"What kind of anomalous situation did you encounter? And how did you know about our Cleaning Bureau?"
"As for the anomalous situation... I have been forgotten by everyone since noon yesterday. As for why I know about your Cleaning Bureau... I have always known about your existence."
Looking at Leon, who was her Prince just yesterday, the Princess's expression was somewhat complicated, and she said:
"It might be very hard for you to believe, but before noon yesterday, I was still the Princess of this country."
Princess?
Jie Rui couldn't help but frown upon hearing this, then cast a probing gaze at Leon beside him.
That's not right? I remember the King should only have one son, where did a Princess come from? Is she lying?
No, she isn't lying. At the very least, she truly believes so.
Shaking his head slightly and giving Jie Rui senior a negative answer, Leon, whose brain was a bit chaotic, rubbed his temples and continued to ask:
"Then... from the time you discovered the anomalous situation until now, a whole night should have passed. Have you contacted your relatives or close friends who are relatively familiar with you? Can't their memories be recovered?"
"I have contacted some of them."
Princess Veronika sighed:
"But everyone has forgotten me, including the attendant who has always been by my side. No matter how many things I can tell about the past, she doesn't believe I am the Princess, and even wanted to call people to catch me. I knocked her out before running away."
"As for my family... and now I can't enter the palace, so naturally I can't contact my family, and haven't had a chance to try whether I can awaken their memories."
"I see..."
The conditions are still not sufficient, and I can't judge the real situation.
After hearing the Princess's words, Jie Rui immediately gave Leon a
look, signaling that he could ask a bit more sharply to see if this woman had delusions or was truly attacked by an anomalous ability.
After returning him an understanding look, Leon sat up straight, stared into Princess Veronika's eyes, and said:
"Sorry, my next question might be a bit offensive, but please try your best to answer... Have you ever thought about such a possibility, that you are actually not the Princess, but have had some kind of hallucination?"
"That won't happen."
Having thought about this question all night and made enough preparations, the Princess shook her head, her expression very firm:
"I am very sure that I am indeed the Princess of this country, and I should have a way to prove this point."
When saying this, she looked at Leon, who was clearly tired, smelled of alcohol, and had half a lipstick mark on his collar, and couldn't help but frown slightly, then continued:
"Two, do you have any understanding of the knighthood ceremony of the Laien family yesterday?"
Laien family knighthood ceremony?
After hearing Princess Veronika's words, Leon and Jie Rui looked at each other in surprise, then nodded one after another.
"Heard a little."
"Not only do I understand, but I was also at the scene yesterday."
After answering the question of this woman who called herself "Princess," Leon's brain suddenly felt dizzy, feeling as if something was about to jump out of his memory.
But when he started trying to grasp this part of things, it was like being separated by a layer of invisible thick glass. No matter how he reached out, he could only touch a layer of cold, hard, thick barrier.
"I was also there yesterday."
After looking at Leon, whose expression was somewhat chaotic and who started rubbing his temples unconsciously, Princess Veronika's heart surged with a little hope, then she clenched her fists and said seriously:
"Although it might be a bit strange to you, the King actually doesn't only have one son, he also has an eldest daughter, and that daughter is me."
"Yesterday, I privately went to the Laien Manor, wanting to watch the Laien family's knighthood ceremony, but just after entering the hall, I heard someone using the entire Laien family as a dowry, preparing to propose to me."
"Wait!"
Hearing this, Leon, whose brain was becoming more and more chaotic, couldn't help but raise his hand, his brows locked tightly as he reminded:
"Let's assume there is such a Princess as you, but are you really sure that someone used the entire Laien family as a dowry to propose to you?"
"I am sure."
"But in my impression, no such thing happened."
Leon rubbed his temples and said:
"The only one qualified to use the entire Laien family as a dowry should be one person. You might not have seen me, but I am actually..."
"You are actually the new Lionheart Duke."
After preemptively speaking Leon's identity, looking at the surprised Leon, Princess Veronika looked into his eyes and said word by word:
"The person who proposed to me yesterday was you!"
"???"
"And I agreed."
"!!!"
Under Jie Rui senior's surprised look of "you kid actually did this kind of thing," Leon, who was somewhat stunned, waved his hands repeatedly:
"Impossible. If you are really the Princess and agreed to my proposal, then..."
Then I should have a corresponding badge, and it should be at least Silver rank, and possibly even Gold... Oh my god, it really exists!
Opening the system panel smoothly, looking at the 【Traveler Prince】 flashing with dazzling golden light in the slot, Leon's brain felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer, buzzing and completely messed up.
Did I really propose to her yesterday? Then is she really the Princess? ===== CHAPTER 176 =====
