"Thank you, I will do my best to cooperate."
After stealing another glance at the Red-haired Director's lips and confirming that the lipstick color matched the half lipstick stain on Leon's collar, Princess Veronica's eyes flickered slightly before she spoke,
"Director, although I'm not an employee of your Purification Bureau, I thought about it last night and felt that there might be issues with three people. I wonder if you'd be open to hearing my thoughts?"
*Your thoughts?*
From the beautiful woman opposite him, the Red-haired Director sensed a slight hostility. Narrowing his eyes, he subtly controlled a strand of hair to press Leon's hand onto the Black Goat's forehead, signaling him to check the princess's soul state. With a smile, he nodded,
"Of course, or rather I should say it's very welco. Having a target to investigate is far better than searching aimlessly."
"Then I appreciate the opportunity."
Controlling herself not to think about the lip stain and the lipstick, Princess Veronica took a deep breath and then, with a furrowed brow, recounted,
"First, there's a grandmother-granddaughter duo. Since I visited privately yesterday, I was very cautious and had close contact with almost no one except Mr. Lyon. The only exception was in the servant kitchen on the west side of the Ryan Family estate.
At that ti, Mr. Lyon was pursuing rebels, and it seed like he wanted to replenish sothing in the kitchen. I was outside the kitchen coaxing a little girl nad Phoebe, and during that ti, she patted my chest a few tis. When Mr. Lyon ca back out, he no longer recognized who I was.
Later, when Mr. Lyon forgot about
and left on his own, I wanted to ask him why, but Phoebe's grandmother called
over, and I couldn't stop Mr. Lyon in ti. I suspect her grandmother did it on purpose.
Also, although there's a big age difference between them, the elderly lady nad Lucy claid to be Phoebe's sister, and the little girl Phoebe seed to genuinely regard her as her sister. I find these two people very suspicious."
*A strange grandmother-granddaughter duo calling each other sisters?*
Exchanging a glance with Leon, who was touching the goat's head, he received confirmation from the princess's eyes that she was not lying. The Red-haired Director pondered for a mont, then nodded and continued to ask,
"Very valuable intelligence. Do you rember what that grandmother-granddaughter duo looked like?"
"I do."
Princess Veronica answered confidently,
"The elderly lady nad Lucy had a very hoarse voice and a slightly hunched back, looking about sixty or seventy years old. The little girl nad Phoebe had a round face and was small in stature, about six or seven years old, with very special eyes, having a kind of... hmm... how to describe it?"
After frowning in recollection, Princess Veronica uncertainly said,
"Like a... very pure feeling, but not the kind of innocence a child has. Children have emotions and thoughts in their gaze, but that child's eyes gave a feeling of... hmm..."
After recalling together with her, Leon hesitantly added,
"Clarity of stupidity?"
"Yes! That's exactly it!"
Glancing at Leon, Princess Veronica nodded and said,
"That child was like a clean piece of white paper, seeming less intelligent than kids of her age, but not genuinely stupid. It was a strange blankness from having experienced too little, knowing nothing."
"Understood, it's indeed very valuable intelligence."
Looking at Jerry, who was also in thought, the Red-haired Director gave him a look to imdiately investigate, and after firmly morizing the information, he gently continued questioning,
"And the third person?"
The third person...
Hearing this, Princess Veronica hesitated for a mont, seeming sowhat reluctant, but eventually spoke,
"The third suspicious person is my brother Joshua. Although he hasn't shown any abnormalities, I don't know why, *but I always have a feeling that he seems involved in this...
Uh... let's forget it, just pretend I didn't say that! After all, if this matter is really related to Joshua, considering his and his mother's dislike for , I fear I might have already been eliminated.*"
"I see."
Looking at the princess who raised but then dismissed the third suspect, the Red-haired Director, still composed, nodded and then smiled and gestured towards the door.
"Princess Veronica, if you have no other information to provide, then it's ti for the Purification Bureau to work. Please wait for a while in Leon's office.
Please don't misunderstand, we aren't trying to hide anything from you. It's just that you are now forgotten, so the royal family's handbook on soul silence might not work on you anymore. Attending our eting might bring additional danger, and I hope you can understand."
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, Princess Veronica nodded, stood up, and left the room. When her footsteps faded down the corridor, the Red-haired Director imdiately began assigning tasks,
"Jerry, have your friends go to the Ryan family's kitchen, record all the auras that appeared there at noon yesterday, and compare them one by one to quickly locate that grandmother-granddaughter duo calling themselves sisters.
Then notify Emma to temporarily set aside other tasks for the next two days and remain on alert at the bureau. If there are any traces of rebels, act imdiately and bring them back!
Finally, Leon, after you deliver the hair, imdiately take my note to the Royal Palace and investigate Prince Joshua properly. See if he's tied to this matter!"
"Understood."
After listening to the tasks assigned by the Red-haired Director, Jerry imdiately left the room, while Leon hesitated for a mont and suggested,
"Director, if possible, could I swap tasks with soone?"
"I'm afraid not."
Hearing this, the Red-haired Director shook his head and said,
"You're the only one in the bureau now who can tell lies, and you're the best person to investigate Prince Joshua."
"..."
*It's not that I think the task arrangent is inappropriate, it's mainly because yesterday I punched that guy hard and even spat on his face. I'm afraid he might not cooperate with ...*
"Leon, trust , that woman is extraordinary. Her intuition is sothing to be taken seriously."
Looking at Leon, who still showed so reluctance, the Red-haired Director said earnestly,
"If she really is the princess, then she's a direct bloodline of the Twelve Royal Families. And the Twelve Royal Families... hmm... let
put it this way, if you trace back far enough, the royal families of the existing Twelve Kingdoms could be considered part of the Purification Bureau."
"Huh?"
"It's true."
Glancing at Leon's astonished face, the Red-haired Director hesitated for a mont but eventually explained,
"Including the now-destroyed East Carleighwen Kingdom, the ancestors of the royal families of all kingdoms were once the overseers of the Watcher's Palace, possibly even including its creators. It was due to the achievents of their ancestors that the Purification Bureau agreed to the pact with the Twelve Kingdoms, even making concessions in so areas.
Most royal families of each kingdom inherited so abnormalities from their ancestors' bloodline, and there were frequent intermarriages among them, leading to so outstanding direct blood descendants having more or less so special abilities even without anomalous objects.
Leon, listen to . If I'm not mistaken, Princess Veronica might have special abilities manifested in intuition, so if the princess thinks Prince Joshua is problematic, he most likely is, and it's worth your effort to investigate him properly!"
