Chapter 703: Chapter 638: Love Is Always Tinged with Guilt

Alright...

Looking at William, who accepted the princess’s bribe and "betrayed" himself, but then turned around and sold out Veronica, Leon couldn’t help but be silent for a mont before proactively changing the topic:

"Let’s put this aside for now... Why did you erase lanie’s completed howork?"

"Because she copied my answers."

Leon answered calmly:

"People who copy howork get punished with extra writing exercises by Teacher Lisa. Based on what I know about lanie, by Monday she’ll definitely use her better grades as an excuse to confuse facts, insisting that I copied her answers.

And because Teacher Lisa is so gentle, if she can’t figure out who copied whom, she definitely won’t wrong soone casually. Most likely, she’ll change it to both of us standing in punishnt. So I’m defending myself in advance to prevent her from dragging

down tomorrow."

"..."

Wow, so that’s the deal. But couldn’t you just report her to Anna directly? Although the howork would still have to be erased after reporting... Hmm... So erasing it early saves you one step? Is this your plan?

Forget it, I’m really not good at handling kid matters. I’d better wait for Anna.

Silently sitting on the chair, watching William erase all the repeated answers, Leon realized he truly lacked the ability to manage children and watched as lanie got beaten, then saw her discover her howork had been erased, then watched as she scread and rushed over to duel William, only to be exposed for copying howork, and then grabbed by Anna for a second round of suppression...

To be honest, my role as the big brother is just to open my mouth, eat my teammates, and fight a couple of Kings of Nightmares, while Anna, who suppresses these two Demon Lords of Mayhem, has much more to consider.

After a bout of intensified chaos, ultimately it was Empress Anna who crossed eons, not only suppressing one Demon Lord of Mayhem single-handedly but also managing to press these two first-grade overlords from Bridge Public School to finish all their howork by half-past ten.

Even more terrifying is that within fifteen minutes of finishing the howork, Empress Anna used her Secret Technique to purify the water, stuffed the two Demon Lords into the small bathroom for a forced wash, finally tossed them onto the Demon Kings’ bed, covered with the sealed blanket, and even took the ti to chant a lullaby, forcing the two Demon Lords into Dreamland...

"Anna..."

Seeing his sister carefully tuck lanie’s foot back under the covers, then attentively straighten the corners, taking care of the two little Demon Lords with ticulousness, Leon couldn’t help but be moved for a mont, exclaiming with full admiration:

"These years have truly been hard on you..."

"?"

Not knowing why he suddenly said this, Anna blinked in confusion before gently shaking her head:

"Not really, all these are just small tasks, your work is what’s truly exhausting."

At this point, she hesitated slightly before softly saying:

"Brother, if your work is really dangerous... why don’t you..."

"Don’t worry."

Interrupting Anna, Leon laughed and bluffed:

"At first, it was indeed a bit dangerous, but now I’m much more skilled than before, and hardly encounter any dangers anymore. Plus, I’m very cautious and flee imdiately in the face of danger, never taking risks. People even call

’cowardly Leon’ now, haha.

In summary, while my job is sowhat risky, I’m always very careful, so you absolutely don’t need to worry about my safety."

"Mm..."

Responding lightly with a bowed head, the still sowhat slender Anna did not continue the topic, but reached out to smooth down Leon’s shirt wrinkled by lanie and then asked:

"Since you’re rarely on holiday and tomorrow is the weekend, how about we take William and the others to the amusent park for a day? It might help clear our minds too?"

"..."

Although taking these two Demon Lords of Mayhem to the amusent park seemingly feels more like asking for trouble than relaxation...

But thinking carefully, I’ve indeed been busy with "work" for the past few months, neglecting family affairs, even returning from a business trip to Crolock Kingdom without gifts for them. I really should make ti to spend with family; visiting the amusent park sounds like a nice idea.

"Sure!"

Nodding in agreent with Anna’s suggestion, Leon smiled and quietly said:

"Little Ellie too, these three children haven’t been to the amusent park yet, imagine how excited they’ll be tomorrow."

"Yes indeed."

Responding to Leon’s words with a soft smile, Anna nodded and then gently pulled Leon out of the bedroom, carefully moving into the kitchen.

"Brother, you should rest first."

Smiling towards Leon’s puzzled expression, Anna explained while tying on an apron:

"The food sold at amusent parks is expensive, and according to Hannah’s account, the ingredients seem not very clean, lanie’s stomach isn’t good either... Overall, it’s better to have a picnic in a small garden than eat there, so I need to prepare a bit."

"Oh..."

Watching Anna expertly busying herself in the kitchen, handling the ingredients delicately, Leon paused for a mont before speaking again:

"By the way Anna, you haven’t told

what you’d like to buy."

"Hm?"

Pausing her cutting of fish jelly at Leon’s question, the slender girl was montarily stunned before lightly laughing, shaking her hand:

"There’s no need, I’m not a child, why would I want a gift?"

"It’s necessary."

Leon insisted:

"Even though you’re not a child anymore, you’re still my sister, right? It’s perfectly normal for a brother to give small gifts to his sister."

"Fine, fine."

Seeing Leon’s persistence, Anna could only helplessly shake her head, then after a mont of thought suggested:

"Why not get

a new apron then? This one has been used for over two years and is a bit worn, or a slightly bigger pot would be nice.

With three kids at ho now, their appetite has grown a lot, the old pot is sowhat insufficient; or maybe a new iron would be great too, many of our old clothes brought here are wrinkled..."

Silently listening as Anna listed several items, Leon’s eyes grew increasingly tender.

So, your wants are still "household" items, none of them are for yourself...

"I’ll buy them all!"

After noting down everything Anna wanted, Leon couldn’t help but guide her as he looked at his sister who appeared "desireless":

"But these are all household items, Anna, do you have anything you want personally? Like... so silver jewelry, or a slightly more expensive new dress?"

"But I have no use for those, right?"

The slender girl furrowed her brow:

"Apart from taking care of them, I help Aunt Mary and occasionally do rough work, small jewelry might easily get scratched, and a new dress... Oh right, a new dress might be worth buying."

As she spoke, Anna glanced down at her slightly faded old dress and the apron stretched across her chest, then said sowhat shyly:

"Recently, I... um... my old dresses are getting a bit tight, ti to buy a nicer new dress... no, let’s just go with a formal gown!"

A formal gown?

Leon paused upon hearing this, sowhat puzzled:

"Why do you need a formal gown? Do you have so important occasion to attend?"

Upon Leon’s inquiry, Anna looked over in surprise, asking in confusion:

"Of course, isn’t your wedding next month?"

"..."

"Ah?!!!"
