Although Hao Ren already knew about the princess knight's rough style, he did not expect that her problem would worsen after she returned home. In fact, those who knew Veronica would not be so surprised. Everyone knew that the princess had put all her talent points into war and personal strength. Once she left the battlefield, the chaos she caused could be written in every book in the Arcane Tower. Even the wisest scholar in the kingdom would not want to know how much trouble the princess had caused since she was a child.
Ania stood among the flowers and immediately knew that her sister was confused again. The gentle girl, who looked exactly like Veronica but had a completely opposite temperament, smiled. "Sister, it's safe in the Imperial City. Can you not think that I'm lost every time you don't see me in my room?"
Veronica looked at her sister and then at Hao Ren. She could not help but feel awkward. "Err … I heard that you're sick. I'm worried that you might faint somewhere if you go out."
"Thank you for your concern, sister. I'm fine now," Ania said with a smile. "Mr. Abdon said I can get out of bed and walk around. It's better for my health."
Then she nodded at Hao Ren. "I'm sorry to make you laugh. My sister has always been like this. In fact, I did get lost once when I was a child. After that, she was very nervous about this kind of thing. "
Veronica coughed twice. "Ahem, that was when I was a child. Guardian, let's go inside and talk. I'll take you to see my brother, Andrew. "
Hao Ren heard this and pointed at the little boy under her armpit. "Err … Who is this?"
The little boy under Veronica's arm was red in the face. He struggled and whimpered. The princess seemed to notice it. She looked down and was shocked. "Andrew! Why did you come out? "
The prince continued to struggle, using his hands to pry open Veronica's arm, and began to roll his eyes.
Veronica finally reacted and hurriedly put the little prince on the ground. The poor prince was about to foam at the mouth. After falling to the ground, he staggered for a while before stabilizing. Then he pursed his lips and was about to cry, but in the end, he forcibly held it back and changed it into a series of violent coughs. His recovery was better than Ania's, but now he was the most serious patient on the scene again.
The Royal Guards nearby all looked into the distance, their faces flushed red, and their necks thickened …
After a series of hilarious events, the three members of the royal family and Hao Ren finally entered the room. The maids served tea and exquisite desserts, but the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little awkward, perhaps because the awkwardness was not over yet.
At this moment, Hao Ren also had a chance to take a closer look at Veronica's siblings. Apart from temperament and dress, Ania was almost a smaller version of Veronica. She was just a little thinner because she did not dabble in martial arts. Hao Ren was looking at the little prince. Andrew looked about ten years old. Though he was a child, in the war-torn world of Collow, a ten-year-old boy should be ready to take charge. However, the prince did not show any of this ability. He looked thin and weak, and his eyes were not as bright as Ania's. He looked like an ordinary little boy. He wriggled on the chair, and biscuit crumbs fell off his gorgeous clothes. He was holding a snack in one hand and a straw in the other. The prince was carefully blowing bubbles in the tea.
Andrew seemed to have noticed Hao Ren's gaze. He suddenly looked up and then sat back in his chair in a rather reserved manner.
Obviously, he still lacked the bearing and courage that a royal should have.
At yesterday's banquet, Hao Ren happened to hear rumors about Rudolph III's children from a few nobles' whispers. It was said that the king's twin daughters were the jewels of the kingdom. Ania was intelligent and talented in magic. Veronica was a pain in the neck, but she was a talented warrior and good at military strategy. Only the little prince, Andrew, was almost untalented in any aspect and had no redeeming qualities.
Now it seemed that the rumors were true.
But these matters of the royal heirs were not the focus of Hao Ren's attention. He was concerned about the health of Ania and Andrew.

These things had nothing to do with him, but they were, after all, Veronica's family, so he still wanted to pay attention to them.
Hao Ren's eyes swept across the prince and the princess's face. He noticed that their faces were slightly pale, and their lips were a little dry. Although they had recovered, there was still a little fatigue in their eyes. But this was normal for a serious illness, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
Veronica also spoke at this time. "Why did they suddenly fall sick?"
Ania shook her head. "Maybe the recent weather changes have caught a cold. Mr. Aberton said that many people have been sick recently, and it's all related to the weather. Although the dark side of Carnos cannot be projected into the Barrier of Order, it will always affect the climate of the World of Order. Recently, there have been strong winds and sudden rain and snow on the plains. The mages have been trying to adjust the weather manually. "
"I heard from His Majesty that it's very serious. A cold will cause you to be bedridden for so many days?" Hao Ren interrupted. "Do you two often get sick?"
After hearing this, Ania involuntarily glanced at Hao Ren and slowly shook her head. "I have been weak since I was a child, but Andrew is very healthy. He has not been sick for years."
"In fact, I know a little about medicine," Hao Ren said. "Especially some ancient diseases. Can you tell me what your symptoms are? I am worried that you are infected with some kind of ancient infectious disease. "
Veronica frowned. "We can't be that unlucky."
Ania hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "The disease is very common. We have a fever, weakness, and weakness. It's so serious that we don't even have the strength to get up. Other than that, there is no trace of disease on our bodies. The warlocks once thought that we were cursed, but after examination, this possibility was ruled out. The mages also ruled out the possibility of elemental erosion. In the end, it was the special medicine made by the alchemists that worked. "
"Special medicine?" Hao Ren asked with a frown.
Ania took out a crystal bottle from a delicate small box on the table. "This is it."
Hao Ren took the crystal bottle and found that there was about a third of the bottle of colorless transparent liquid in it. After unscrewing the cap, a wonderful floral fragrance floated into his nostrils. He dipped a little and put it in his mouth.
He returned the crystal bottle to Ania. "The alchemist is the Mr. Aberton you mentioned just now?"
"Yes, he was recommended by Grand Duke Loen. It is said that he is best at making all kinds of disease-curing potions."
"Grand Duke Loen?" Hao Ren frowned. He was not interested in the aristocratic system of the upper class of Taros. Moreover, there were many nobles in the kingdom, and their relationships were complicated. To exaggerate, it would take a long time to look at a paternity test to figure out who was the son. As an outsider who had just arrived, it was even more impossible for him to figure out who was the son.
But this Grand Duke Loen sounded like a powerful man. There were probably only a few people in the upper class of the kingdom who could compare with him. Hao Ren should have some impression of him, but he could not remember anything at this time.
Hao Ren thought about it carefully and felt that the main reason was that he ran away after the opening ceremony last night and did not participate in the latter half of the cliques and relatives segment.
"It's normal that you don't know," Ania smiled. "He is my father's most trusted right-hand man, second to none in the kingdom. You should have many opportunities to meet him in the future. He is not a very easy person to get along with, but he has always been fair. Maybe you can get along well. "
"Oh, oh …" Hao Ren nodded perfunctorily and asked, "Did you come into contact with anything before you got sick? For example, food that you have not eaten, or strange utensils. "
"These questions have been asked many times. Of course not," Ania shook her head. "We eat and use the usual things, and even the people we meet every day are acquaintances. This is unlikely to be the reason."
At this time, even the slow-witted Veronica could feel the strange atmosphere lingering in the question and answer between Hao Ren and Ania. She frowned nervously. "Wait, Sir Guardian, do you suspect …"
Ania smiled and glanced at her sister. She waved her hand to dismiss the attendants in the room, and then said faintly, "He suspects that someone is trying to murder me and Andrew."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. The only one who still did not know what was going on was Andrew, who was eating the snacks with his head down. The little prince noticed that no one was talking, so he looked up and then lowered his head to continue eating the snacks in his hand.
Hao Ren looked at Ania quietly. "It seems that even you have thought so."
