I! Cleaner!

Just when Melanie was blackmailed because of her momentary negligence and had to give out dividends reluctantly, Princess Veronica had already changed out of her wedding dress and dragged Anna, who had changed back into her casual clothes, back to her room.

After taking off the gorgeous but cumbersome and heavy wedding dress, Princess Veronica's spirit flew away for the most part. After barely changing into pajamas with the help of the maid, she threw herself directly on her big bed.

"Finally it's all done..."

After burying her face in the mattress and sighing, Princess Veronica turned sideways and waved to Anna, who was a little restrained, with a smile.

"Come on, come on! Now there is only one step left. As long as you sleep with me for the whole night, I will be a member of your Ryan family tomorrow."

"Sister Veronica!"

Anna, who was very weak except for education issues, blushed at the ambiguous words of the princess. She shook her head and refused with a red face:

"No, I will sleep on the sofa..."

"Oh! Come on!"

After patting the empty space beside her, Princess Veronica said with a slight reproach:

"Why do you like to sleep on my sofa like Leon? Do you have to force me to move the sofa out?"

"I..."

"Don't bother me, come on!"

Walking barefoot on the carpet in the room, Veronica ran over and dragged Anna over. Princess Nika hugged her and smiled:

"I know you are not used to it, but the day before the wedding, the groom's female relatives accompany the bed, which is also part of the whole wedding process. If you don't sleep with me today, tomorrow's wedding will be difficult~"

"Ouch!"

After falling on the soft big bed, Anna, who was tightly hugged by the princess, twisted her body twice, and found that she couldn't struggle free. She couldn't help but complained with shame:

"Isn't this process too strange? It's obviously your wedding, why do you want me to accompany you!"

Why do you want me to accompany me during the wedding process? Of course, it's to help your brother check~

Looking at Anna, whose face was red all the way to her neck, Princess Veronica couldn't help but smile, but she didn't explain.

For some special reasons, the purity of blood is very important to the royal families of various countries, and before the Kingdom of Korok invented the instrument that uses blood to detect kinship, there has always been a lack of detection methods in this regard.

So on the eve of most weddings, the bride will ask the groom's female elders to sleep with her, and then... perform some relatively primitive small checks to ensure the "purity" of the bloodline.

Although this kind of check is no longer necessary, as an ancient tradition that has been maintained for hundreds or thousands of years, the custom of the groom's female relatives sleeping with her on the eve of the wedding has been retained as part of the process...

Well... it's a pity, if the person I'm holding now is Leon, I can tell him about this old-fashioned tradition to tease him, but the person on my bed now is Anna, so it's better not to say it, otherwise if she embarrasses her tender face and runs away, then I'm in trouble.

…

“I don’t know why.”

After telling a lie, Princess Veronica hugged Anna to her, buried her head beside her neck, sniffed the smell of the same detergent as someone else, and then said in a relaxed and gentle voice:

“The kingdom has existed for so many years, and there have been countless kings. Anyone who leaves a request may be regarded as a tradition that has been passed down for hundreds of years... But this tradition is not bad.”

“Don’t! Don’t move! Ouch!”

Looking at the princess who buried her head beside her neck and sucked hard like a female hooligan, Anna couldn’t help but reach out and push her, and then she rarely got a little angry.

"Sister Veronica! If you touch me again, I... I'll leave!"

"That won't do~"

Faced with Anna's soft and sticky threats, even with a little tremor, the thick-skinned princess naturally ignored them. Not only did she hold her hands tighter and tighter, she even buried her head and teased:

"How about this, you call me sister-in-law, and I'll let you go a little, okay?"

"I..."

Hmm?

After waiting for two seconds and not hearing a reply, and finding that the body in her arms was slightly stiff, Princess Veronica couldn't help but raise her head in surprise and looked at the hesitant eyes of the thin girl.

"What's wrong?"

After looking at Anna's expression, Princess Veronica pondered for a moment, then loosened her arms slightly, stared into her eyes, and asked softly with a little apology:

"Did I embarrass you? If you are not used to changing your words..."

"No!"

After shaking her head hurriedly, Anna subconsciously clenched her skirt, then mustered up the courage to look back and asked in a low voice:

"I just want to know... Sister-in-law... Sister Veronica, you chose to marry my eldest brother, is it really because... because you like him?"

Good guy, so you really came to help him "check"!

Faced with the slightly childish question of her sister-in-law, Princess Veronica couldn't help but smile, subconsciously wanting to tease her, but when she met Anna's anxious eyes with a little worry, her heart softened slightly.

The reason why Anna, who is weak in character, must have the courage to ask herself such a question must be that she is afraid that she actually has "ulterior motives" and has set her sights on the things behind Leon, and is worried that her brother will be hurt in this "political marriage".

So like Leon, she doesn't care about the significance of marrying into the royal family, nor does she consider the interests behind this marriage, and she doesn't care about the glory of the prince's identity and the benefits she can get. The only thing she worries about is whether her brother can be happy after the wedding.

Alas, she is really Leon's sister, she is not ordinary special... Well... Or you can say that maybe Anna is the most normal one, and those people she has contacted in the past, and herself, a woman full of calculations, are really "special".

After a self-deprecating smile, Princess Veronica couldn't help hugging Anna tightly, kissing her on the cheek with love and pity, and then, amid Anna's screams and rejections, she confessed with a serious face:

"To be honest, it was definitely not at the beginning. I chose Leon at that time, more because of his identity as the Duke of Lionheart, and the convenience that his identity could provide me."

"Then...then you are now..."

"It is now."

The princess, whose cheeks were also slightly flushed, endured the shame in her heart, stared into Anna's eyes, and said sincerely:

"Although it sounds a bit strange, there is indeed something very attractive about Leon. He...I don't know how to describe it specifically, but the way he looks at me is really different from everyone else. There is no possession, No reverence, no greed.

I can vaguely feel that he doesn't care about my identity, my wealth, the power and status I represent, or my appearance... um..."

When she said this, Princess Veronica paused, recalling the way Leon and she occasionally stole a glance at each other when they were "secretly meeting", and then she changed her words:

"He doesn't care much about my appearance and figure... In short, in Leon's eyes, I am not the first princess, nor the future queen, but Veronica herself.

In front of him, I don't have to play a certain role, nor do I have to worry about disappointing anyone, and I don't have to become a symbol in anyone's heart. When I am with Leon, I am the most relaxed... Anna, do you understand what I mean?"
