Chapter 711 Pastries and Bloodline

Chapter 711 Pastries and Bloodline

Okay~ Who made you a princess~
After glancing at Princess Veronica's slightly flushed neck, the female official managed to suppress the corners of her mouth, took the plate of pastries that the princess roughly stuffed into her, and walked to the backstage on the other side with a smile.

After entering the backstage and arriving outside the waiting room belonging to the groom, the female official stood outside the door for a while, fiddling with the pastries on the plate. When the conversation inside stopped temporarily, she took the opportunity to step into the waiting room and lightly placed the plate on the table next to Leon.

"Your Excellency."

She folded her hands in front of her belly, bowed gracefully and performed a maid's salute. Facing Leon's somewhat puzzled gaze, the princess' special light bulb spoke softly:

"Your Highness thought that you had been busy all morning and might not have had time to eat, and the banquet would start very late, so he sent me here to bring you a plate of cakes."

"Oh, thank you."

The color of the female official's uniform was basically the same as that of the maid's uniform. Leon, who was not very familiar with the style of clothing, did not doubt it. He nodded politely to the female official, took the plate, and pushed it in front of the female cleaner sitting opposite him, and said politely:

"Are you hungry? Would you like some?"

"Now that you mention it, I'm actually a little hungry..."

Although she had eaten a lot before coming here in the morning and bought a stack of beef pancakes on the way, the cleaner was not hungry at all at the moment. However, as the heir to the gluttonous bloodline, she naturally had no reason to refuse a snack.

However, just as she was about to take the cake, she seemed to feel something was wrong. She couldn't help but pick up a cracked cake, looked at the female official who brought the cake, and asked in confusion:
"Why are the cakes you sent only half each?"

"The other half is with Her Highness Veronica."

In response to the cleaner's question, the female official who was breaking the cakes at the door bowed slightly, then smiled and started to talk nonsense:

"You are from the Northern Kingdom, and you don't know much about our customs. According to the royal wedding process, a loving couple must eat a plate of sweet cakes together before the wedding.

The plate of cakes in front of you is the other half that Her Highness Veronica has chosen and specially left for Prince Lyon. Eating this cake means that the future of the two of you will be like these sweet cakes, and you will become each other's unique other half. "

Oh my god, so this plate of pastries are actually the leftovers of that woman, right?
Looking at the smiling lady in front of her, who seemed to have some ill intentions, the cleaning lady couldn't help but put down the half-eaten cake in her hand and said to Leon awkwardly:
"This... doesn't seem right for me to eat. How about you eat it?"

"Oh……"

Unexpectedly, this plate of pastries actually had other meanings. Leon could only smile embarrassedly, then picked up a piece and put it in his mouth...

"Ok?"

After pursing his lips twice, Leon could not help but turn his head and looked at the female official standing beside him in surprise.

"This is salty. Didn't you say you wanted sweet pastries?"

Oh no, I forgot about this.

Facing the doubtful looks from Leon and the other man, the female official straightened her back with a clenched heart, and then replied without changing her expression:

"Because life needs some spice. Pure sweetness will get boring sooner or later. There must be some changes... And cakes with some salt added will actually taste sweeter than before. You will know if you try it again."

"..."

That's true...

After eating two more pieces of cake, Leon nodded in agreement and thanked him:

"Thank you for your hard work. I don't need anyone to serve me here. Please go and do something else."

"Ok."

After taking a look at the female cleaner who was standing opposite Ang and was oblivious to anything and still refusing to leave, the female official couldn't help but narrow her eyes unhappily, then stood up and walked out of the waiting room.

After the lady-in-waiting left, the button on Leon's wrist suddenly lit up, revealing a dark goat's head.

“As expected, it’s still ours!” After stretching his stiff neck, the black goat looked at Leon proudly and reminded him arrogantly:

"Boy! Be careful! That woman just now was lying!"

"Ah."

After reaching into the plate and making a few pairs of perfectly fitting pastries, Leon nodded calmly.

"I know. She must have just broken the cake... Meili, this is just an ordinary cake. It doesn't have any symbolic meanings like what she said. If you're really hungry, just eat it."

"..."

Damn it, it’s actually a lie!
After looking at the pastries that Leon had put together, the cleaning lady who had reacted couldn't help but snorted in annoyance, then grabbed the pastries on the plate and stuffed them into her mouth, complaining as she stuffed them:

"You guys are so stingy! You didn't even give us snacks!"

"This shouldn't be a matter of being petty or not... never mind."

After shaking his head slightly, Leon looked at the female cleaner in front of him who was eating happily and whose mental age was probably not even older than Melanie. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and then continued the topic before the female official came in:
"So, can members of the royal families of various countries also join the Cleanup Bureau?"

"of course can."

After picking up two more pieces of cake and stuffing them into her mouth, the female cleaner said happily:
"After all, the ancestors of the Twelve Kingdoms are all... um..."

"They are all palace servants of the Shouwang Palace."

Seeing the female cleaner suddenly stop talking in the middle of her words and showing hesitation on her face, Leon understood what she meant and finished the sentence for her, then reminded her:

"Although I have not yet crossed the line between human and god and cannot officially take office, I have been selected as the next Aquarius director. There is no need to keep this information secret from me."

"Oh, oh, yes, it seems like Su Jie is the one."

After breathing a sigh of relief, the female cleaner swallowed the cake in her mouth and then began to explain:

"In short, according to my great uncle, although the bureau does not encourage it, it does not oppose the descendants of the twelve royal families joining the Cleansing Bureau. However, their identities must be kept secret. On the contrary, the bureau seems to have a rule that the owners of royal blood cannot be forced to join the Cleansing Bureau."

"Force? Is there such a thing?"

"Correct."

The female cleaner nodded and then recalled:

“After all, the ancestors of our twelve royal families are basically at the level of directors. Even if some are slightly inferior, they are equivalent to true gods after becoming palace siters, and the bloodline of a true god is itself an anomaly.

Therefore, the royal family members of the twelve kingdoms, especially those of the direct lineage, are all talented cleaners. If they are trained well, they may even be able to transcend the difference between humans and gods. Therefore, several forced incidents have occurred in the past. "

After listening to the cleaner's words, Leon recalled the royal descendants he had come into contact with, and then nodded in agreement.

Whether it is Mary who has passed the strict selection of the Five Palaces, or the middle-aged Joshua who will create the [Gate to the Other World] in the future, or the siblings Andre and Filia from the Kingdom of Korok, they are indeed talented in "abnormality".

I remember that in the Aquarius Palace's secret technique of [Abnormal Creation], six qualities related to the birth of abnormalities were mentioned, namely soul and flesh, personality and emotions, past and future. Among these three corresponding groups of qualities, as long as each group has one special thing, it is easy to give birth to abnormalities of one's own.

The [souls] and [bodies] of these royal bloodlines are inherently abnormal, and influenced by their own bloodline, their [personalities] and [emotions] are often somewhat different from those of ordinary people. This already meets two-thirds of the requirement.

Therefore, as long as they have another painful [experience], or break away from their original life and have a sufficiently special [future], they can fill in the missing last link, and awakening the abnormality will be a natural thing...

Hmm... coming to think of it, among the royal family members that I have more contact with, it seems that only Veronica is still an "ordinary person", so if she also awakens her abnormality, what kind of abilities will she gain?
