Chapter 179: Strange Dream
Chapter 179: Strange Dream (Part )
"Your Highness Joshua."
After entering the room of the Freckled Prince under the guidance of the trembling maid, Emma, who replaced Leon as the main interrogator, ignored the tragic scene in the room that was like a storm passing through, and politely took the initiative to greet him:
"Long time no see, you seem to have grown a lot."
Ok?
After hearing what the tall and beautiful woman said, the freckled prince with a fierce look on his face couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He looked at her in surprise for a while, and then said with some hesitation:
"You're... um... the woman who joined the Cleanup Bureau six years ago?"
"Yes."
Emma smiled gently, then gently threw out a bandage, picked up the furniture that had been kicked over in the house one by one, and then calmly introduced her purpose:
"Your Highness Joshua, our Virgin Branch received a request for help this morning. The content involves the assassination of the royal family by the rebels. You need to answer some questions.
As you know, our branch is also responsible for protecting the royal family, but we have not had enough manpower for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions occasionally. So in order to better protect the safety of you and your family, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation."
"Tsk... Another one from the Cleanup Bureau..."
After hearing what Emma said, the Freckled Prince couldn't help but touch his face, with a hint of lingering anger in his eyes.
However, considering the strange bandage that moved like a snake, he finally held back from saying anything unpleasant, and only questioned with dissatisfaction in his eyes:
"You also know that you have the mission of protecting the royal family? Then why do the royal families of other kingdoms have employees from your Cleanup Bureau following them all the time? Even some powerful nobles have people to protect them, but we have nothing?"
"Please try to understand this."
Facing the accusation from the Freckled Prince, Emma remained gentle and responded calmly:
"The situation in our branch is quite special. The number of personnel in our branch is only one-tenth of that in other branches, or even less. In addition, there have been frequent abnormal incidents in the kingdom in recent years, and the manpower is very tight. It is difficult to allocate a fixed number of personnel to protect the royal family.
However, our director is stationed in the capital all year round and rarely leaves too far. He is always keeping an eye on the palace and the surrounding important areas with the help of abnormal objects, so unless it is an extremely special situation, the safety of you and your family can be guaranteed."
"Humph!"
Prince Freckles still seemed dissatisfied with Emma's answer, and continued to find fault with a bad look:
"If it's a normal situation, would you still be needed? Isn't the purpose of your Cleanup Bureau to deal with special situations?
If you ask me, your director has no idea what is the priority when doing things. When there is a shortage of manpower, he should have ensured the safety of the royal family first instead of worrying about any random abnormal incidents!
If our royal family is in danger, the whole kingdom will be in chaos. As for those unusual incidents in other counties, even if they become a big deal, it will only kill some ordinary people. It won't cause much trouble at all. What's the harm in dealing with them later?"
"..."
After patiently listening to the Freckles Prince's long speech, Leon couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his wrists began to tremble unconsciously.
Damn, what should I do if I really want to beat him up now?
Really... who taught this b-thing? How could she be so damned rude? Your sister's talent is intuition, so your talent is not to attract hatred, right?
"Okay, I will convey your suggestion to the director truthfully after I return."
Emma was not angry because of the accusation of the Freckles Prince. She just smiled gently, then stretched out her hand and gently guided her in the direction of the sofa.
"Your Highness Joshua, is it convenient for you to accept our questioning now?"
"Ask, ask!"
Satisfied with Emma's respectful attitude, Prince Joshua walked to the single seat on the sofa and sat down first, while Leon and the other man followed and sat opposite him. "Wait, who are you?"
Looking at the man opposite him wearing a burqa and a mask, who seemed to be afraid that others would recognize who he was, Prince Freckles didn't know why, but a strange feeling of disgust suddenly surged in his heart. He stared at Leon's mask and scolded:
"She is a noble and has the right to sit in front of me. Who are you? You didn't even say hello after you came in. You just sat opposite me without saying a word? Has no one taught you what etiquette is?"
"..."
When you say courtesy, do you mean to touch my face affectionately with your cheek?
He was really incompatible with this 2B prince. Leon bit his cheek under the mask. He was amused by his outrageous behavior. He reached out to take off the mask, turning the interrogation into a thorough torture.
However, at this moment, a warm and soft hand came up and gently grasped Leon's right hand, pulling him back as he was about to take off his mask, and then gently pressed his knee, signaling him not to be impulsive.
"Your Highness Joshua, if you continue like this, it will make things difficult for me."
As if she would never get angry, facing the freckled prince who looked like a hedgehog rolling out of a cesspool, stabbing and disgusting everyone she saw, Senior Emma still smiled gently and said:
"He is my colleague and also my junior. He is just shy and timid, and doesn't quite understand the proper etiquette when meeting the royal family, so please be patient.
In addition, he is very knowledgeable about the soul, will, and spirit, which are exactly the same as my abilities. If you encounter some minor troubles in these areas in the future, you may need his help."
"..."
Facing the gentle persuasion of Emma who seemed to have a "calm aura", Prince Freckles hesitated for a moment, and finally put away the spikes on his body that were always erected. He snorted and leaned back on the sofa, urging with a little impatience:
"I have something else to do later, so please ask whatever you want to ask."
"Okay, first question then."
After gently patting the back of Leon's hand to calm him down temporarily, Emma spoke softly in a voice as soft as a cloud:
"Excuse me, have you ever had any private contact with members of the rebel gang?"
"What the hell is that question?"
Prince Freckles frowned and said unkindly:
"How could I be in contact with those people? They want to assassinate me! If I contact them privately, wouldn't that be seeking death?"
What he said was actually true.
Looking at the Freckles Prince's still stable soul flame, Leon silently reached out his hand, and gently made a check mark on Emma's soft thigh through the plain satin skirt.
"Sorry, this is just a routine inquiry. Let's move on to the second question."
Her thighs trembled subconsciously, and Emma smiled after receiving the feedback, and then continued:
"Your Highness Joshua, if you had a sister who was better than you in every way and was the first heir to the throne, what would you think of her?"
