0171 Without the palace, I can only gnaw on my husband

Won't you come back today?

Unaware that Leon was fighting to the death in the sea of wine with the terrible red-haired bad woman for the safety of herself and her younger siblings, and when the street lights under the apartment came on and Leon was not seen, Anna couldn't help but sigh faintly.

But just as she stood up from the window, about to put away the food she had left on the table, there was a sudden and somewhat familiar sound of footsteps in the stairwell.

This is...... Are you back?

Hearing the recognizable sound of heavy footsteps, the sick and weak girl's expression couldn't help but be slightly happy, and after wiping her wet palms on her apron, she hurried over to open the door.

However, as soon as she got up, she noticed that although the footsteps were very similar to Leon's, they all carried a heavy feeling as if they were carrying something, but the stride was noticeably smaller.

It turned out that it wasn't my brother......

A little disappointed, Anna sighed and let go of her grip on the doorknob, but the footsteps that were similar to Leon's, walked straight towards her, and then there was a soft knock on the door.

"Tuk, Tuk"

Come to my house?

Hearing some abrupt knocking on the door, Anna was slightly stunned, and then carefully asked through the door:

"Who are you looking for?"

After hearing the sound coming from inside the door, the person outside the door paused, and then replied in a gentle voice:

"I'm looking for Leon, Leon Lane."

Looking for my brother? And listen to the sound...... Is it a woman?

Although the woman's voice was very nice and carried a convincing sense of calm, Anna didn't know why, but instinctively became vigilant, and almost subconsciously prevaricated:

"He's already asleep! And it's getting late, so come back tomorrow!"

「……」

As if sensing her defense, the woman outside the door muttered for a while, then leaned close to the door and whispered:

"You're Anna, aren't you? Leon and I told yours.

Also, although there are men's shoes outside the door, the pair that Leon is wearing today is not here, so he hasn't gone home yet, right? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I'm really here for him."

「……」

Face...... Lying through the door was actually exposed on the spot, Anna's face couldn't help but blush slightly, and then quickly unscrewed the doorknob, and took the initiative to apologize with some embarrassment:

"I'm sorry...... My brother told me a few days ago that I should be more careful lately, because there may be bad people targeting our family, so I ...... Hmm......"

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of her who looked a little tired, but her figure was amazingly good, Anna's words couldn't help but get stuck, and while looking at the other party's plump front with shocked eyes, she instinctively measured the gap between herself and the other party.

Actually...... How can it be like this...... It's not fair!

"It's okay, I suddenly came to the door so late, it's normal for you to be more vigilant."

Seeing that she had finally succeeded in deceiving the door, she only had a silver wheel given by Leon on her body, and the princess who couldn't afford to live in a hotel and couldn't return to the palace, she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, in order to have a place to stay tonight, while recalling the information he had read, he tried to fool with a kind face:

"When we first met, my name was Veronica, and as for my identity...... I am your brother's fiancée." ???

What did you say?

After listening to the royal girl's impactful self-introduction, the sick and weak girl was like a duckling struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned.

That's impossible!

He clearly said that he would ...... for the rest of his life In short, even if I am not related by blood, I am his most important sister! He'll be the first to tell me about getting married! It must be fake! This woman must be cheating...... Forehead......

Anna stared at her eyes with her hands crossed, and was about to rely on a nameless anger to scold the woman in front of her for not allowing people to deceive, but she couldn't help but glance at the other party's chest again.

Seem...... Isn't it completely impossible? After all, she's really ......

"Anna?"

After waiting for a long time and not hearing the other party's question, the words that had been prepared before coming could not be continued, so the princess Veronica had to use her brains to make up the temporary, and took the initiative to speak:

"I know, you may not be able to accept this news suddenly, but I didn't lie to you, I really am your brother's fiancée."

"Yes...... But he never told me, and he's always busy, so where does the ......time come from?"

"It's sudden, indeed."

After holding the palm of the sick girl who was sweating a lot, like a real sister-in-law, and affectionately holding her into the house, the princess said apologetically:

"Just this afternoon, in the hall of the main building of the Lane family's estate, in front of all the guests who came to the ceremony, he proposed to me personally.

And I happened to have a very good conversation with him, and after thinking about it, I agreed directly, because it happened too suddenly, so I didn't have time to talk to you...... By the way, did Leon tell you where you were going today?"

"Said ......"

didn't find that the princess secretly vaguely omitted questions such as "dating time" and "why didn't you introduce it to the family", and directly linked the authenticity of this sister-in-law with whether Leon went to Lane Manor today.

After recalling what Leon said, and found that he seemed to have really said that he was going to Ryan Manor to participate in some kind of knighthood ceremony, he saw that the "intelligence" on both sides was actually matched, and due to the thinking inertia of "one truth and all truth", the last trace of doubt in Anna's heart was completely extinguished, and her eyes were full of complexity:

"So you're really ......"

"I'm really your sister-in-law."

The tip of her nose, which was stained with a little soot, trembled slightly, and after smelling a tempting aroma of rice, she had not eaten water and rice since morning, and the hungry princess finally couldn't help it.

After pulling Anna, who was a little straight-eyed, to sit down at the table, she turned over the dishes covered with vegetables very naturally, pushed one of the small plates in front of Anna, and asked with concern:

"I think you're in a bad state, are you eating too little at night and you're not feeling well?"

"Ah......h

The mind is full of the brother is married, and the bride is not ...... No...... It was my brother who got married, and he didn't even tell himself, and Anna, who was a little overloaded in her brain, instinctively responded:

"Like...... I don't eat too much......

"Then eat some more, and I'll be with you."

Naturally, she took a dish and placed it in front of her, and then she picked up a cauliflower and put it on Anna's plate, and then cut a large piece of hot fish cutlet for herself, and filled it into her mouth with impeccable manners.

chewed the fish steak twice at the fastest speed in her life, and then swallowed her stomach in one bite, the princess who had successfully cheated and cheated on eating and drinking dug into mashed potatoes with a spoon, and persuaded with concern on her face:

"Eat quickly, look at your skin, when Leon comes back, it will definitely be very sad to see that you didn't take good care of yourself."

"Huh? Good ......."

Under the painstaking persuasion of the princess, she ate two cauliflower as side dishes and a few small carrots used as soup ingredients.

Looking at the three plates on the table that had been swept away by the "sister-in-law", Anna finally noticed that something seemed to be wrong, and looked at the beautiful woman who was wiping her mouth with satisfaction with suspicion.

This sister-in-law...... How do you look like you're here to cheat and cheat?
