I! Anomaly Cleansing Agent!

After being pushed out the window by the giant golden retriever, Laera once again successfully ruined a critical moment and hung her head low, mumbling softly:

“I… actually I didn’t see anything…”

“…”

“Or… or maybe I saw a little bit…”

Facing Leon’s expression of extreme speechlessness, Damaged Miss seemed to realize that her “lie” was a bit too far-fetched, and quickly added on:

“But my lips are sealed. Your… your… thing, I definitely won’t go around telling everyone!”

“…”

Even though, according to my understanding of you, things you’ve ruined seem to have all been said already? Also, what is it that you didn’t say? What did we steal? “Laera Miss!”

Unlike Leon who had an army stuck in his throat, Princess Veronica, as a relatively seasoned politician, had already somewhat suppressed her embarrassment and regained some composure.

And after catching the unsaid meaning in Damaged Miss’ words, the princess, who had learned her name, couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly, her tone becoming a little unfriendly as she reminded: “You don’t usually read newspapers, right? Leon and I are engaged, not the kind of relationship you’re thinking of, so please be mindful of your words!”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing the princess’ slightly dissatisfied response, Damaged Miss seemed startled, then first looked at Leon in surprise, and subsequently lowered her head timidly apologizing: “I… I don’t have much money, so I rarely buy newspapers. Sorry, I… I said something wrong again…”

No, you didn’t say anything wrong. In a certain sense, you said something quite good! Noticing where her eyes were focused, Princess Veronica couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly, then squinted her eyes and looked at Leon.

This Laera Miss who came to Leon in the middle of the night is the type whose thoughts are easy to guess. Upon hearing about her engagement with Leon, her first reaction was to look at Leon in surprise.

Considering that after witnessing her private meeting with Leon, she instinctively judged it as an affair, does this mean that subconsciously, Leon actually belongs to another woman?

…

“Laera.”

Unaware of Princess Veronica’s speculations, looking at the anxious Damaged Miss in front of him, Leon couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly, then took the initiative to ask:

“It’s already so late, why did you come with… uh…”

“Woof woof!”

“Oh, Miss Lisa.”

Reminded by the puppy, remembering the name of the golden retriever, Leon nodded at the golden retriever who was curiously examining the princess, then asked again:

“Laera, why did you suddenly come with Miss Lisa? Did something happen at the bureau that requires me to return immediately?”

“Ahh! Yes!”

Upon hearing Leon’s question, Damaged Miss finally reacted, then quickly relayed:

“Senior Leon, Director Olivia sent me to find you, hoping you could return as soon as possible. The three division directors sent by the bureau have arrived.”

Three non-Zodiac Bureau directors? Only three? After listening to Damaged Miss’ relayed message, Leon’s expression instantly became serious, immediately realizing that trouble was probably coming.

For no other reason, since the three division directors responsible for guarding the kingdom have arrived, then as the strongest combatant of the Virgo Subdivision director, she should still follow the original plan and go to the headquarters to guard against the attack of the Aquarius Director.

But according to the information “bumped into” by Laera, the target of the Aquarius Director’s attack is actually the Virgo Subdivision, and the director has already informed the board members of this news, yet the board members not only didn’t let the director stay, they even didn’t send additional reinforcements, instead sending only three division directors.

After all, even if the board members didn’t believe the intelligence obtained by Laera, or thought this might be a smokescreen released by Aquarius, deciding not to take it seriously, it would still be fine to make extra precautions.

Even if they urgently needed their director’s combat support and had to transfer her to the general headquarters for “joint defense,” they could at least send more division directors to reinforce. This manpower wouldn’t be impossible for the bureau to spare.

But the board members didn’t add reinforcements, maintaining the original arrangement and sending only three division directors for reinforcement. So there is probably only one reason to explain…

The headquarters probably wants to “fish”!

Combining the existing intelligence, Leon deduced that the possibility of the board members wanting to set a trap was very high, so he immediately “switched” to work mode, nodding earnestly with bright eyes:

“Alright, I’ll return right away!”

After saying that, he instinctively took a step forward, wanting to immediately use the Mirror World to return to the bureau, but at this moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turning back to look at the princess behind him.

“Veronica, can you help me tell…”

“Go ahead with peace of mind.”

Looking at Leon’s suddenly “energized” eyes and his instantly tense state, Princess Veronica first remained silent for a moment, then calmly promised with a gentle voice:

“If you don’t return tomorrow, I will explain to Anna. Besides, although I don’t know what you will face, but if… I mean if, if you really don’t return, they will be my younger siblings.”

Good grief… She’s already planting the flag early…

Making direct eye contact with those soft yet determined eyes, even without touching the Black Goat’s horns, Leon instinctively understood that Veronica was telling the truth, and couldn’t help but feel grateful as he nodded slightly.

Although these words sound a bit unlucky, facing the strange tactics of the Aquarius Director, he indeed doesn’t have full confidence in making it out unscathed. This promise that sounds unlucky is exactly what he needs most right now.

“Thank you…”

“No need to thank.”

Princess Veronica blinked and said: “If everything goes well, remember to come back and marry me. Besides, whether you return or not, on the third day of next month, I will hold the wedding as scheduled.”

“…”

Damn… Returning home to get married after this battle? That makes it even unluckier…

Faced with the princess who kept thrusting the death banner into him, Leon’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, then found it hard to keep a straight face as he said:

“About this matter…”

“Regarding a devoted woman willing to mourn for you forever and promises to take care of your younger siblings for life regardless of whether you return or not, do you have anything else to say?”

“…”

“Hmm?”

“…”
