Chapter 169 Who is she?

Chapter 169 Who is she?
You are still thinking about candy, and even my husband is about to fly away!
After pinching the little girl's face lovingly, just as the princess was about to call Leon and ask him why he suddenly left her, an old and hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the window next to her.

"Hello."

The princess was startled by the sound of a sharp object scraping against glass. When she looked in the direction of the sound, she found an old lady with chicken skin and white hair, stretching her arms in her direction.

"Can you give Phoebe back to me?"

"Ah, okay!"

After noticing the other person's wary eyes, she thought she might have misunderstood something. In order to avoid being mistaken for a child trafficker, the princess quickly put the little girl down in her arms.

However, when the two silver wheels were stuffed into her mouth before, the princess was slightly stunned. Now she was delayed by the old lady who suddenly appeared, and Leon riding on the broom had already flown away.

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

After watching Leon's receding back, the princess couldn't help but sigh.

Today was really... Not only did I encounter an assassination attempt by the rebels, but I was also married off without any preparation, and the prince I chose seemed to be a pretty weird person.

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

What a weird guy. But since Leon is from the Cleanup Bureau, it seems normal for him to be a little weird, right?
After shaking her head in confusion, the princess straightened her skirt, squatted down, pulled open the little girl's dirty black hand, put a shiny silver wheel in it, then smiled and patted the little girl's butt.

"Here's the money. Go to your real grandma and ask her to buy you some candy."

"grandmother?"

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

"Phoebe's grandmother is dead. She's been dead for many years."

This kid's grandmother is dead? Who is that person talking to me?

After hearing the little girl's words, the princess frowned slightly, then looked up at the old woman in the distant window and asked politely but vigilantly:
"Excuse me, who are you to this child?"

After raising her wrinkled eyebrows and looking meaningfully at the princess in front of her, the old woman with chicken skin and white hair smiled and replied calmly:
"My name is Lucy, and I'm Phoebe's sister."

???

Are you Phoebe's sister?
The princess was startled at first when she heard this, but her frown did not relax but became tighter and tighter.

Impossible! You look over 60, and little Phoebe only looks five or six. How could she be your sister?
"Lucy!"

Just when the princess frowned and began to suspect that the old lady had some mental problems, the little girl suddenly took a step forward and ran happily towards the old lady.

"Lucy, be good~"

After standing on tiptoe and touching the old lady's silver hair, the little girl raised the silver coin in front of the old lady with her dirty little hands, and then imitated what Princess Veronica had just said, saying affectionately:
"If you call me sister, I will buy you candy~"

"..." Looking at the innocent little girl in front of her, a hint of sadness flashed across the old lady's eyes. Then she lowered her head obediently, allowing Phoebe to touch her head without having to stand on tiptoe. Then, in that hoarse and creepy strange voice, she softly agreed:
"Sister, no matter what you become, you will always be my sister."

"..."

So...it turns out that it's not the grandma who has mental problems, but the child has some intellectual problems?
Noticing the sadness in the old lady's eyes and seeing her lower her head and let little Phoebe touch her, Princess Veronica fell silent. She did not continue to disturb the strange "sisters" but turned and walked back towards the main hall.

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

The only thing I can do is to rely on the power that comes with being a princess and try to put shackles on those excessive greed, so that these innate sufferings can be a little happier.

And the marriage between me and Leon will undoubtedly greatly speed up this process, then everything will be worth it!
……

"what happened?"

"Did I pass out?"

"What on earth was that just now... Lord Earl? Wake up!"

When the princess re-entered the hall where the succession ceremony was held, some of the people who had fainted due to the "Heart-pounding Moment" had already woken up.

However, those who have woken up so far are all young people or attendants and guards who are in good health. Those with higher status are generally older and have weaker physical endurance, so most of them are still unconscious. No one stepped forward to take charge of the situation, and the hall was almost in chaos.

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

After looking at the "leaderless" situation in the hall, Princess Veronica couldn't help but shook her head, then adjusted her shawl to cover the small black handprint on her chest, and then clapped her hands vigorously to attract everyone's attention, and instructed those who had woken up:
"The most urgent thing now is to save the person. The Vinsmoke family should go find a doctor, and the people from other families should carry their unconscious people upstairs first.

As for the family members who are still unconscious, let the Ryan family take care of it. By the way, check the condition of the unconscious people. After the Vinsmoke family invites a doctor, they can give priority to rescuing those in more serious conditions. "

It seems like... this is exactly what I should do now?
After hearing Princess Veronica's instructions, the chaotic hall became quiet for a while, and then some people began to do as they were told subconsciously. The actions of these people also led more people to follow suit, and the chaotic hall gradually became orderly.

However, even though they subconsciously followed the other party's instructions, a strange question arose in the minds of most people.

Who is this woman giving orders?
……

"What? You ran into the rebels who controlled the abnormal objects again? And you were almost tricked by them?"

After listening to Leon's story of what happened today, the red-haired chief blinked his fox eyes and said in surprise:

"Strange, although after joining the Cleanup Bureau, the possibility of encountering anomalies generally increases with the degree of infection, but haven't you had too many accidents?"

"I also feel something is wrong. I wonder if I have been cursed..."

Leon nodded after hearing this, and said helplessly:
"But the Black Goat said that he guaranteed as a great demon that there is absolutely nothing abnormal about me. At least he couldn't see any problem, so he suggested that I come to you directly to ask what's going on."
