Just like what Leon saw in his "mory," the Red-haired Director gathered her fiery red hair to one side of her neck, gently stroked her sharp tresses with her hand, and stared blankly at the mory in her palm, lost in thought.
Probably both Director Pisces and the Great Witch King knew that one's own mories shouldn't be given away recklessly, so in this bundle of mories that she had snuck out, there were very few scenes involving the future, only a few hazy images.
And she in this mory, also lacked the courage to face all of this, and similarly chose despicably to hide the truth temporarily after knowing it. Then, upon learning about the attempts of the East Carleighwen Kingdom's survivors to restore the country with the help of the Western Carlay Wen Kingdom, she couldn't help but leave the Royal Capital to investigate.
Afterwards, it was a series of indiscernible blurry scenes, so vague that nothing could be made out, only knowing that Leon also went over, found her and said sothing, after which it was yet another indistinct chaotic future.
And in the end, on this path Leon did not marry Princess Veronica and seed to have developed so feelings for her, and as for herself... did she not seem to reject it?
So, do I actually have a tiny bit of feeling for Leon as well?
After tugging at her hair with force, the Red-haired Director, tornted internally, let out a sigh, then leaned forward, knocking her forehead onto the desk with unexpectedly great force, again and again.
Damn Pisces! Damn Great Witch King! What's going on with the future exactly? Can these cryptic bastards just drop dead already!
Also, once the matter with the East Carleighwen Kingdom starts, I definitely won't be able to resist investigating it, which ans I'd be up against the future again, but now that Leon is already married, what if sothing really happens between us?
Though I'm a bad woman who enjoys deceiving others, sotis even wanting to fool myself, I didn't intend to go bad in this area! I... huh?
Vaguely aware of sothing, the Red-haired Director suddenly lifted her head and saw Lyla, who was reaching for the doorknob, attempting to close the door quietly, and Miss Zhuangpo, who was caught by her gaze, instinctively shivered all over, then, full of panic, waved her hands repeatedly and said:
"Director! I... I wasn't peeping on purpose, I just ca out of the storage room opposite, saw that your door wasn't closed, and then..."
"..."
So, you saw banging my head on the table, huh?
After rubbing her temples speechlessly, the Red-haired Director also waved her hand, saying with a helpless face:
"It's fine, it's not your fault, it's because I carelessly forgot to close the door... Oh, Lyla, have you encountered any special situations recently?"
"I've seen so things..."
Upon hearing the Red-haired Director's inquiry, Miss Zhuangpo hesitated slightly and said:
"But I'm not sure if what I saw is what you need."
"Then just tell whatever you've seen!"
With her mind full of Leon, the Red-haired Director now urgently needed a diversion, and upon hearing Miss Zhuangpo's words, she promptly opened a can of beer, inviting with interest:
"Co on, have a seat, and just tell whatever you've seen."
Faced with her own director's invitation, Lyla, who instinctively feared her a bit, didn't dare refuse, but instead, moved step by step to the chair opposite the desk and gingerly sat on just the edge of it.
"The day before yesterday, when I helped you buy drinks, after I ca out of the store, I got on the wrong carriage and was taken as a female attendant, brought into a side building at the back of the palace, where I saw two people wearing crowns..."
...
"Joshua was led by his mother to revolt?"
"Yes."
Seeing Leon, whose mood seed a bit down for so reason, Anna couldn't help but blink and then continued to chat:
"But that Prince Joshua seed not very interested. The day after being taken for a private conversation by the forr queen, he actively sought out Sister Veronica to report that the forr queen was secretly conspiring with ministers for so unspeakable plots."
"What?"
Hearing Joshua's decision, Leon, sitting at the dining table at ho while absentmindedly poking at the pasta, couldn't help but lift his head in surprise and asked, sowhat puzzled:
"He reported his own mother to Veronica?"
"Yes, that's what Sister Veronica said."
"..."
Well, it seems like Joshua isn't quite as "humanoid" as he was before in these past two months? Did he realize that Veronica wouldn't give such an opportunity, or has he already given up after losing the crown?
Twisting a forkful of pasta and stuffing it into his mouth, Leon, enjoying the dinner made with love by his sister, asked a few more questions about Joshua and his mother's attempted rebellion out of interest.
And noticing that Leon seed to be preoccupied, Anna deliberately joined in on the conversation about recent events, hoping to help him relieve so stress. As they chatted, they broached the topic of whether Joshua was genuine or feigned.
"I feel he probably just learned to disguise."
Thinking about Joshua's [Arrogance] bloodline, Leon gestured with a piece of cod on his fork and said:
"Just like this piece of fish you made, no matter how many changes he goes through, drenched in oil, salt, sugar, and vinegar, the most you get is a change from raw to cooked cod, but he could never beco a grass carp."
"Not necessarily."
Hearing this, Anna blinked and then laughed, raising her hand to point to the piece of fish in Leon's hand:
"Maybe you've misunderstood him? Just like what you're holding now, it's actually not a piece of cod, but a naked goby that I picked out from the cod stall."
Hmm? Isn't this cod? The taste seems no different.
Upon being corrected by Anna, Leon couldn't help but blush, hurriedly stuffing the fish into his mouth while arguing:
"It's all the sa, the taste is about the sa, as long as the person eating it can't tell the difference... ow..."
"What happened?"
Seeing Leon stop chewing and wince halfway through eating, Anna jumped, quickly standing up:
"Did you get a bone stuck? Spit it out!"
"Oh, no, no, I just suddenly rembered sothing."
After chewing a bit and swallowing the fish, Leon reassured Anna with a smile and then pondered that very dramatic "Sea King Line" and the sowhat odd behavior of the Red-haired Director.
No matter how you treat cod, it would never beco a grass carp. Similarly, no matter if I take on the role of Sea King for badges, I could never evolve directly into Deep Sea Cannon King all at once, there must be a process.
And if the taste of naked goby is the sa as cod, I couldn't tell the difference just by eating it casually. Similarly, the last leaf given to by the director, although it looks the sa as the other leaves, whether the "fish at" within is still the original... that's uncertain!
