Chapter 187: Sibling Night Talks and the Arrival of the Heart Part 1

"Brother?"

Holding a clean cloth bag as she emerged from the inner room, noticed that was gone, leaving only standing by the door. Surprised, she asked:

"Where did go?"

"I didn’t have much time to stay at home, and there are still things I need to ask you, so I sent her home first."

Leon glanced out the window, seeing that the burly old man was almost in, he decided to cut to the chase. Grasping his sister’s shoulders with a serious expression, he began:

"Anna, tell me..."

"When did it happen between you and ?"

"Huh?"

Seeing Leon's bewildered look, Anna bit her lower lip and asked softly, somewhat reproachfully:

"How... how did you two meet? How did you decide to get married? Why didn’t you tell me anything?"

"..."

"Well... can I say I’m still confused about it too?"

After a brief hesitation, Leon explained:

"Anna, you should know this—there are many things in this world that aren't within the 'normal' range. Like your photograph, they have all sorts of incredible abilities.”

“And Miss Veronica... she was influenced by something similar, making everyone in the kingdom lose their memories of her, including you and me."

What? Everyone forgot her?

Upon hearing about the photograph, Anna felt a pang in her heart and instinctively clutched her skirt. After listening to Veronica’s plight, she exclaimed in shock and sympathy:

"So... doesn’t that mean she has nothing left? She lost not only her identity but also friends, family... lovers... everything?"

"Yes."

With Leon's confirmation, Anna fell into silence.

If it were her, such a sudden loss of everything would likely cause her to collapse. Yet Veronica hadn’t shown any signs of distress, even chatting and laughing with her yesterday.

Aside from slightly dark circles under her eyes, indicating poor sleep, there were no visible abnormalities on the surface...

"She’s so strong..."

"Mm, she truly is a very 'strong' person."

Understanding what his sister was marveling at, Leon nodded in agreement after having seen ’s soul.

In , each soul had its own "base color," which wasn’t an actual hue like red, orange, yellow, or green, but rather a more fundamental essence.

Anna’s base color was longing and warmth; ’s was compassion and duty. But Princess Veronica’s soul radiated unparalleled resilience—her resolve was terrifyingly firm, as if she didn’t even know the concept of despair.

And this resolve wasn’t just blind confidence in success—it was the determination to keep moving forward even knowing the odds were slim, until her legs were worn down, with death being the only endpoint.

Mm... In a way, her younger brother’s soul gave off a similar vibe. The two royals Leon had encountered both possessed incredibly "hard" souls.

However, while Princess Veronica’s base could be called "resolve," her brother’s might simply be labeled "arrogance." Even after receiving a mixed beating from Leon and , losing several teeth, he still looked down on him.

Perhaps this was a royal trait...

...

Shaking his head slightly to stop thinking about the peculiar soul of , Leon checked the progress of the burly old man climbing through the window. Then he turned to his admiring yet somewhat envious sister, asking seriously:

"Anna, can you tell me what you thought after meeting Miss Veronica yesterday?"

Huh? What was I thinking?

Startled by Leon’s question, Anna hesitated before answering:

"Just... I really envy her."

"Just envy?"

"And... maybe wanting to become someone like her..."

Glancing inadvertently at the papaya in the kitchen, Anna whispered with envy:

"My health isn’t good, but Miss Veronica is healthy and full of energy. I’m quite small, whereas her... figure is exceptionally good. And her personality too.”

“Unlike my awkwardness, she’s talkative, cheerful, and has a charm that makes people naturally trust her... very much like Mom’s personality."

Recalling past events, Anna’s eyes filled with warmth:

"Ever since I was little, I wanted to be someone like her and Mom, but I just couldn’t do it."

"..."

So... Princess Veronica is Anna’s “ideal,” and her contact with her led to feelings of envy and the desire to become like her, causing [A Warm Home] to repair and transform into a [What If] that could replace others?

It seemed... reasonable enough, but the intensity seemed off.

For an anomalous object's ability to change, the wish to “be her” must have been quite strong. Would mere envy lead Anna to such intense thoughts?

Frowning in contemplation, worried that returning the photo to Anna might actually let her replace the princess, Leon refrained from taking out the photo. Instead, he grasped Anna’s shoulders and said sternly:

"What else? Are there really only these thoughts? Think carefully again. Is there anything else?"

Something else...

The frail girl bit her lower lip, recalling the image of a man with a perpetually sorrowful face. She then cast a complicated glance at Leon.

If obtaining the family photo meant that man could restore everything and return you, , and to their original lives, then I wouldn’t be part of your family anymore.

If such a thing happened, I’d be alone again, and your family would only consist of Miss Veronica. I really envy her...

But because I used that photo six years ago, depriving you of your original lives and separating you from your true family... Do I have the right to stop that man from reverting everything back to its original course?

I don’t...

Her lips quivered faintly. With a somewhat dejected expression, Anna shook her head and stammered:

"No...there’s nothing else..."

"There is. Anna. You’re definitely hiding something from me."

Even without using soul vision, Leon sensed his sister’s hesitation.

If it were something else, fine—everyone has secrets—but what Anna didn’t want to share likely involved the anomalous objects created by , which absolutely couldn’t be ignored.

"I don’t know why you’re hiding it from me, but it’s related to that photograph, isn’t it?"
