Chapter 582: Strange Dream (Part 1)

"Prince Joshua."

Guided by the shivering maid, after entering the freckled Prince's room, Ai Ma, who replaced Li Ang as the main interrogator, ignored the tragic state of the room that looked like a storm had passed through and politely took the initiative to greet him:

"Long time no see, you look like you've grown up a lot compared to the past."

Huh?

Hearing the words of this tall and beautiful woman, the freckled Prince couldn't help but raise his brow, sized her up in surprise for a while, and then said somewhat daringly:

"Are you... um... that woman who joined the Cleanup Bureau six years ago?"

"Yes."

Ai Ma smiled gently, then swung a bandage with soft movements, helping to lift up the furniture that had been kicked over in the room, and then introduced her purpose with a peaceful expression:

"Prince Joshua, our Virgin Branch received a request for help this morning. The content involves the assassination of the Royal Family by rebels. We need you to answer some questions.

You know, our branch also undertakes the task of guarding the Royal Family, but for a long time, the manpower has not been enough, and occasionally there are inevitably some omissions. So in order to better protect the safety of you and your family, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation."

"Tsk... Cleanup Bureau people again..."

Hearing Ai Ma's words, the freckled Prince couldn't help but touch his face, a lingering anger appearing in his eyes.

However, looking at the strange bandage that moved like a snake, he finally resisted saying anything unpleasant, but asked with dissatisfaction:

"You also know that you have the task of guarding the Royal Family? Then why do the royal families of other kingdoms have Cleanup Bureau employees following them for a long time, and even some powerful nobles have protection, but we have nothing?"

"Please try to understand this."

Facing the freckled Prince's accusation, Ai Ma's expression remained gentle, responding unhurriedly:

"The situation of our branch is really somewhat special. The number of personnel is only one-tenth or even less of other branches. Plus, anomalous events have occurred frequently in the Kingdom in recent years, and manpower is really very tight, making it difficult to allocate fixed personnel to guard the Royal Family.

However, our Director has been sitting in the Capital for many years, almost never leaving too far, and is constantly paying attention to the Wang Gong and important areas around it with the help of anomalous objects. So as long as it is not that kind of extreme special situation, the safety of you and your family can be guaranteed."

"Hmph!"

Regarding the answer given by Ai Ma, the freckled Prince seemed still somewhat dissatisfied, and continued to find fault with an unkind expression:

"If it were a general situation, would we need you? Isn't the meaning of your Cleanup Bureau's existence to deal with special situations?

If I were to say it, your Director doesn't know how to distinguish between primary and secondary at all. When manpower is not enough, no matter how you think about it, you should first ensure the safety of the Royal Family, instead of managing some messy anomalous events!

If our Royal Family is in danger, the entire Kingdom will be in chaos. As for those anomalous events happening in other counties, even if they make a big fuss, it's just the death of some ordinary people. It can't cause much trouble at all. What does it matter if they are handled later?"

"..."

After patiently listening to the freckled Prince's long speech, Li Ang couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his wrists couldn't help but tremble.

Damn, I really want to slap him now, what should I do?

Really... who was this b-thing educated by? How can he be so damn asking for a beating? Speaking of which, your sister's talent is intuition, your talent wouldn't be pulling hatred, right?

"Alright, regarding your suggestion, I will report it truthfully to the Director after I go back."

Not getting angry because of the freckled Prince's accusation, Ai Ma just smiled gently, then reached out and made a gesture of invitation toward the sofa.

"Prince Joshua, are you convenient to accept our questioning now?"

"Ask, ask!"

Quite satisfied with Ai Ma's submissive attitude, Joshua Prince walked to the single seat of the sofa and sat down first, while Li Ang and the others followed, sitting opposite him one after the other. "Wait, who are you again?"

Looking at the man opposite him who was wearing a cloak and a mask, seemingly afraid that others would recognize who he was, the freckled Prince didn't know why, but a strange disgust surged in his heart. He stared at Li Ang's mask and scolded:

"She is a great noble and has the qualification to sit in front of me. What is your status? After coming in, you didn't take the initiative to greet me, and directly sat opposite me without saying a word? Did no one teach you what etiquette is?"

"..."

The etiquette you are talking about, is it using your face to affectionately stick to my slap?

Really clashing with this 2b Prince by nature, Li Ang under the mask bit his cheek, was laughed at by his outrageous operation, and reached out wanting to take off the mask, directly turning this questioning into a thorough interrogation.

However, at this moment, a warm and soft hand grasped up, nimbly grabbing Li Ang's right hand, pulling back him who was preparing to reveal his face, and then gently pressed on his knee, signaling him not to be impulsive first.

"Prince Joshua, if you continue like this, you will make it difficult for me."

As if she would never get angry, facing the freckled Prince who was like a living hedgehog rolled out of a dung pit, seeing people and wanting to prick them and disgust them, Senior Ai Ma still smiled gently and said:

"He is my colleague, and can be considered a junior I am bringing. It's just that he is usually relatively shy and doesn't understand the etiquette that should be followed when meeting the Royal Family, so please have more patience."

"..."

Facing Ai Ma's gentle persuasion, who seemed to carry a "calm aura," the freckled Prince hesitated for a moment, finally retracted the full-body sharp thorns that were always raised, hummed, leaned back on the sofa, and urged somewhat impatiently:

"I have things to do later, ask what you want to ask quickly."

"Alright, then the first question."

Gently patting Li Ang's hand to temporarily appease him, Ai Ma used a gentle voice like a cloud to ask softly:

"May I ask, have you ever had private contact with members of the rebels?"

"What kind of ghost question is this?"

The freckled Prince frowned and said with an unkind expression:

"How could I have contact with those people? They want to assassinate me! If I have private contact with them, isn't that seeking death?"

He is actually telling the truth.

Looking at the freckled Prince's stable soul flame, Li Ang silently reached out, through the satin plain silk skirt, and gently tapped a check on Senior Ai Ma's soft thigh.

"Excuse me, this is a routine inquiry. Next, we will start the second question."

After her thigh trembled slightly, Ai Ma, who received the feedback, smiled, and then continued to ask:

"Prince Joshua, if you have an older sister who is stronger than you in every way and is the first heir to the throne, how would you view her?"
