I! Cleaner!-Chapter 783 - 717: The Princess’s Anomaly

Gazing at Princess Veronica after her transformation, with a soul fluctuating more intensely than his own, Leon couldn't help but cast a slightly envious glance at her.

Although past accumulations were ample, she had just "awakened" not long ago, yet she already surpassed the strength of a typical Level 1 Cleaner. The talents of the twelve royal families are truly extraordinary!

"Leon."

Watching Leon, who took a moment to ponder and then began looking at her with a peculiar expression, Princess Veronica couldn't help but ask worriedly:

"What I saw, was it really a soul? Will such a thing cause...?"

"This is a good thing; don't worry!"

Leon, finally understanding the reason, smiled and gave a glance to the ceremony officer, hinting at him to delay time for a bit, then pulled Princess Veronica a few steps toward the backstage, temporarily avoiding the gaze of the guests below stage, and gently explained:

"Simply put, even though you haven't joined the Clean-up Bureau, you've already awakened an abnormal ability or possess your unique abnormal object."

I possess an abnormal ability?

Princess Veronica was slightly taken aback upon hearing this and then couldn't help but curiously ask:

"So what is my ability? Can I see the soul leaving the body of others?"

"No, that is just an accompanying ability."

Leon slightly shook his head and then briefly explained a few related pieces of knowledge about abnormal objects, then asked:

"Veronica, the abnormal ability I awakened back then happens to be detecting other people's abnormal objects through contact, do you mind if I take a look?"

"Of course, I don't mind."

Princess Veronica shook her head upon hearing this, then gazed softly into Leon's eyes and said:

"What's mine is yours; I certainly won't hide anything you want to know."

"Hmm..."

Looking into the princess's eyes, as clear as a lake, soft enough to draw someone in, Leon couldn't help but nod involuntarily, then removed the glove from his right hand, lightly placing it on her arm, and a familiar noise immediately sounded in his ears.

"Bzzz~"

[Name: Blessings in Disguise (Fate)]

[Appearance: No physical entity, held by a beautiful human woman with a graceful figure, who seldom goes out and resides in the palace of Kingdom of Lutung year-round, almost daily wearing custom sleepwear, working in her chamber late into the night]

[Ability: Blessings in Disguise]

[Cost: Blessings in Disguise]

[File: Princess Veronica Robien of Kingdom of Lutung awakened a special abnormal object upon holding hands with her husband Leon Laine, with only one activation record so far, nearly causing the Minister of Ceremony of the Kingdom of Lutung to pass away prematurely]

[Evaluation: A peculiar arrogance thinking she ought to bear everything, a resolute commitment to fulfill royal duties throughout her life, and a deep yearning for a beautiful future together fostered this extremely special abnormal object.

With the help of this abnormal object, she can sort through complexities and make the most correct decisions in any dangerous situation, but as the cost for peeking into the trajectory of fate, she will encounter overwhelmingly great resistance, thus... blessings in disguise]

[Contamination Value: 0.1]

"..."

Ah, this... the thing you awakened is potentially a bit outrageous, isn't it?

Staring at the overly abstract ability description of [Blessings in Disguise] several times, particularly mulling over the file section repeatedly, Leon couldn't help but hiss as he finally understood the cause and effect of the old man's passing event.

Previously, when Veronica came down the red carpet, he willingly stepped forward and held her hand, completely embracing the marriage from his heart, fulfilling the "future" condition needed for awakening an abnormality, leading to her successful awakening of [Blessings in Disguise].

Then, he proposed skipping the tedious processes set by the armoured old man, suggesting they exchange rings early, prompting Veronica to unconsciously activate [Blessings in Disguise] and made the "correct" decision to skip the process.

But before this "blessing" was fulfilled, as the cost of activating the abnormal object, the armoured old man—the "disguised challenges"—pushed forward and performed a scene of sudden demise in front of everyone, perfectly preventing the mutual exchange of rings between himself and her...

This effect and cost... are truly extraordinarily abstract!

Recalling the old man's smiling demise, Leon couldn't help but hiss at his expression full of difficulty, then complexly looked toward Princess Veronica before him.

"I take back what I said earlier; this ability... might not necessarily be all good."

"Ah?"

"The abnormal ability you've awakened is called [Blessings in Disguise], capable of helping you make the most correct decisions, but as a cost, you will encounter unimaginable great resistance when you attempt to act upon this decision."

Leon briefly explained the [Blessings in Disguise] ability and the prior causes and effects of the armoured old man's incident, then solemnly advised:

"In conclusion, although the effect of this abnormal object is extremely powerful, its cost is equally shocking, but fortunately, it doesn't necessarily have to activate. You can choose not to use it.

Veronica, you must quickly learn how to control this abnormal object to keep it in silent mode normally, only using it at critical moments; otherwise, it will certainly cause big trouble!"

"I understand."

Seeing Leon's serious expression, Princess Veronica couldn't help but nod earnestly, then clenched her hand tightly, looking somewhat worriedly as she asked:

"So what do we do now? Will there be other dangers? Should I temporarily pause the wedding and learn how to control this abnormal object?"

"That's not possible."

Leon smiled hearing this, then opened his palm to reveal a pair of small, exquisite plain ring boxes, and in Princess Veronica's surprised expression, Leon handed one of the boxes to her, then jokingly said with a smile:

"Because of our wedding, the Minister of Ceremony nearly lost his life too; if we give up halfway now, wouldn't he have died for nothing earlier?"

"Haha!"

Amused by Leon's hellish joke, the princess couldn't help but purse her lips forcefully, and then she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him before correcting:

"Don't joke about such matters! Moreover, it's the ceremony department, not some funeral department!"

"Never mind, with me here today, regardless of his department, it won't affect our wedding."

Seeing Princess Veronica relaxed, her tense expression gone, Leon couldn't help but chuckle, then took out the gemstone-adorned ring from the ring box and extended his hand toward her again.

"Let's go, we're supposed to exchange rings."

Watching his hand extend toward her again for the second time today, not attempting to avoid, Princess Veronica's gaze softened before she lowered her head and gently replied.

"Yes!"

When she extended her arm covered with white gauze, with fingertips resting in Leon's palm, the originally noisy environment in the hall seemed to be isolated, inexplicably quieting down.

At this moment, it's as if the whole world vanished, leaving only the gentle hand holding hers, and a thought that sounded overly cliché but was incredibly real floated in her mind.

If time could stop and forever remain at this moment, how wonderful would that be?

After her mind, slightly dizzy, wandered while following the strength transmitted through the hand, returning to the stage, that warm, firm hand suddenly let go.

Suddenly losing the warmth wrapped by that hand, Princess Veronica felt a sense of loss, but soon, a slightly cool platinum wedding ring replaced that warm hand, gently wrapping her finger.

And that hand just departed also reappeared in front of her, catching the hand she extended, voluntarily fitting on another ring already heated by her grip.

"Bzzz~"
