Perhaps moved by Leon's sense of discipline, Prince Joshua graciously abandoned the idea of reporting, tearfully deciding to beco a Cleaner, dedicating his life to the great cause of protecting humanity.
After pulling out a... job contract and kindly holding Prince Freckles' wrist to help him press his handprint on it, Leon brewed up his anger and raised his hand to slap him hard, ready to test the observational effect of [On of Beating], however...
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a painful cry, Prince Freckles, whose left cheek quickly reddened, covered his face and looked at Leon in confusion, while Leon glanced at his own hand, equally puzzled.
Isn't your face "immunity"? Why does it still hurt? Could it be that you... oh wait!
Suddenly realizing the problem, Leon quickly opened his badge panel and found [Materialism] in the slot slowly and steadily flashing.
"..."
Sorry, I didn't an to hit you this ti, but your immunity effect was probably partly overridden by [Materialism], so I still made it hurt.
After apologizing with a nod to Prince Freckles, and seeing Joshua's terrified expression, Leon once again raised that guilty right hand...
"You? Ah!!!"
...
"Leon?"
Looking at Leon suddenly appearing in the dressing mirror, Veronica, who was tidying up her nightwear, was startled.
After stepping back a bit to leave room for Leon to co out of the mirror, Queen Veronica covered her chest and said sowhat teasingly:
"Why is it either the windows or mirrors for you, can't you enter through the door properly just once?"
"Next ti for sure!"
After giving a promising but unconvincing reply, Leon shook his numb right hand and asked in a sowhat anxious tone:
"Veronica, did you see my belt?"
"Look, it's hanging on the screen."
Pointing towards the screen with her arm stretched out from under the robe, Queen Veronica kept her expression normal but her eyes showed a slight hint of loneliness as she said:
"Leon, you've just been back for a day, and you have things to do already?"
"I..."
Noticing her slightly downcast emotion, Leon's hand paused for a mont while tying his belt, then hesitated and said:
"It's not that urgent, really. I can do it later too..."
"No, I'm fine."
Seeing Leon's hesitation, Veronica walked over to help him straighten his bow tie, then slightly lifted her head to look at him, her eyes soft and speaking gently:
"Just like you wouldn't want to disrupt my plans during my busy monts, I also wouldn't want you to delay the things you truly need to do because of considering my feelings... Leon, I want to be your support and assistance, not your trouble and... um..."
At this point, Veronica wrinkled her nose, seemingly catching a scent, which made her eyebrows lift slightly as she asked teasingly:
"The sll of perfu... so before I woke up, you even managed to spare so ti to see another woman?"
Huh?
Leon was a little taken aback by the remark and sniffed too, but noticed nothing.
Wow, the contact I had with Layla was just two or three minutes in the Mirror World, and you could even sll that? Is your nose also so kind of abnormal object?
Suppressing the urge to verify this guess, Leon briefly recounted his recent experience from Miss Zhuangpo's unique abilities to testing [On of Beating].
After listening to Leon's overly enthusiastic maneuvering while helping Joshua find a job, Veronica couldn't hold back a laugh despite her attempts.
"You really are..."
After finally stopping her laughter, Veronica wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and then humorously and helplessly teased:
"Joshua has been spoiled for more than a decade, and no one has ever laid a finger on him since childhood, but now with you as a brother-in-law, the hits he missed from the past might co back tenfold."
"Should I be gentler next ti?"
"No, hit him harder!"
Winking at Leon, Queen Veronica said with a smile:
"Joshua was very cute as a child, but after growing a bit, and with the teachings of his mother and uncle, he's beco increasingly annoying, and whenever he sees , the things he says are particularly unpleasant.
And I'm not a magnanimous woman, so if he doesn't beco a Cleaner, in a few years when he's an adult, I will find a female monkey across the sea to marry him off directly."
"A girl?"
"A female monkey."
"..."
You're actually considering finding a monkey for him? I always thought you were joking!
"Anyway, his annoying personality probably won't change, so hitting him a few more tis might actually help him snap out of it."
With a summary statent, Veronica pushed Leon's bow tie upward, tightening it slightly, and then said with a smile:
"Besides, as your wife, although I'm willing to trust you fully, you'd better tone down your excess charm, and avoid doing things that are easy to misunderstand.
If you disappear again next ti in your sleep and co back slling like another woman, I'll have to report you to Anna... because I'm not a magnanimous woman~"
"..."
"Alright, I'm just teasing you, I probably won't be that petty, so go busy yourself!"
Veronica pulled Leon's bow tie down to its original position, then tiptoed slightly to give him a firm kiss on the cheek, saying admiringly:
"Great, truly worthy of being the man I set my sights on... oh right!"
Suddenly rembering sothing, she curiously asked:
"What did you see using Joshua's abnormal object? Will this new task go smoothly?"
"Hmm."
Nodding slightly, Leon replied with a smile:
"I even wanted to see other things, like how many children we'll have in the future, who Anna will marry, whether William will pass his finals, but unfortunately, Joshua's abnormal object didn't work well for , I hit it hard but didn't see the second future."
"You~"
With an amused shake of her head, Veronica said nothing more, instead, her gaze gently lingered on Leon's retreating silhouette as he walked back into the dressing mirror.
And as Leon passed through the mirror and returned to Joshua's bedroom, the uneasy Miss Zhuangpo imdiately approached him, her face full of panic:
"Leon-senpai! Are we... really going to be hanged by the people of the Witch Kingdom?"
