Chapter 572: Who is she?

You are still thinking about milk candy, I am about to lose my husband!

After affectionately pinching the little girl's face, just when the Princess was about to call Leon and ask why he suddenly left her behind, a hoarse and hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the window next to her.

"Hello."

Startled by the sound like a sharp object scratching glass, when the Princess looked toward the sound, she found an old lady with gray hair and skin like a chicken, stretching out her arms toward her direction.

"Can you return Phoebe to me?"

"Ah, okay!"

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

However, when she was stuffed with two silver wheels before, the Princess was stunned for a moment, and now after being delayed by the suddenly appearing old lady, Leon, who was riding on the broom, had already flown far away.

Forget it, anyway, I know his address, I'll ask him later.

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

Today is really... not only encountered the rebels' assassination, but also married herself off without any preparation, and the Prince Consort she chose seems to be a strange person.

Especially just now, one second he asked her to help take care of the child, the next second he seemed to have forgotten who she was, not only did his attitude become polite and distant, but he even gave her two silver wheels for no reason...

What a strange person, but since Leon is from the Cleaning Bureau, it seems normal to be strange?

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

"Money is given to you, go to your real grandma, let her buy you candy~"

"Grandma?"

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

"Phoebe's grandma has been dead for a long time, died many years ago."

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

Hearing the little girl's words, the Princess's brows furrowed slightly, then she looked up at the old lady in the window in the distance, and asked politely but vigilantly:

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

Raising her eyebrows full of dense wrinkles, after looking at the Princess in front of her meaningfully, the old lady with gray hair and skin like a chicken smiled, and answered calmly with a peaceful expression:

"My name is Lucy, I am Phoebe's sister."

???

You are Phoebe's sister?

Hearing this, the Princess was stunned for a moment, then the furrowed brows not only didn't loosen, but tightened even more.

Impossible! You look like you are over sixty, little Phoebe looks like she is only five or six years old, how could she be your sister?

"Lucy!"

Just when the Princess was furrowing her brows and starting to suspect whether the old lady had some mental problems, the little girl suddenly took a step and ran toward the old lady happily.

"Lucy be good~"

After standing on tiptoe and touching the old lady's head of silver hair, the little girl used her dirty little hand to lift the silver coin in front of the old lady, and then learned the words of Princess Veronika just now, and said affectionately:

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

"..." Looking at the little girl full of innocence in front of her, the old lady flashed a hint of sadness in her eyes, then obediently lowered her head, letting Phoebe touch her head without standing on tiptoe, and then used that hoarse and terrifying strange voice to answer softly:

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

"..."

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

Noticing the sadness in the old lady's eyes, and looking at her lowering her head and letting little Phoebe touch her, Princess Veronika couldn't help but fall silent, didn't continue to disturb this pair of strange "sisters," but turned and walked back toward the main hall.

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

The only thing she can do is to rely on the power possessed by the identity of the Princess, try to put shackles on those excessive greeds, and let these born sufferings be slightly happier.

And the marriage between her and Leon undoubtedly can greatly speed up this progress, so everything is worth it!

"What's going on?"

"Did I faint?"

"Just now it was... Earl? Wake up!"

When the Princess returned to the hall where the title succession ceremony was held, some of the people who fainted because of 【Heartbeat Moment】 had already woken up.

However, those who woke up now were some young people or attendants with better bodies. People with higher status were generally older, and their physical tolerance was worse, so most of them were still fainted. No one stood up to preside over the situation, and the hall was almost in a mess.

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

Looking at the situation in the hall like "a group of dragons without a leader," Princess Veronika couldn't help but shake her head, then tidied up her shawl to cover the black handprint on her chest, then clapped her hands hard to attract everyone's attention, and ordered those who had 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 Bobby Laien family be responsible, and check the situation of the fainted people. After the Vinsmoke family brings the doctor, prioritize the rescue of those whose situation is more serious."

Seems... now it should really be done like this?

After listening to Princess Veronika's instructions, the hall, which was in a mess, was quiet for a while, and then some people began to act subconsciously, and the actions of these people also led more people to start acting, and the hall, which was in a mess, gradually became orderly.

However, even if they acted according to the other party's instructions subconsciously, a strange question appeared in most people's hearts.

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

"What? You met the rebels who mastered anomalous objects again? And almost got tricked by them?"

After listening to Leon finish today's encounter, the red-haired director blinked her fox eyes and said somewhat surprisingly:

"Strange, although after joining the Cleaning Bureau, the possibility of encountering anomalies will generally increase with the continuous improvement of the infection degree, but isn't the number of times you have accidents a bit too many?"

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

Leon nodded and said helplessly:

"But the black goat said, it guarantees as a great devil that there is absolutely no anomaly on me, at least it can't see any problems, so it suggested that I come directly to you to ask, to see what is going on."
