Xia Ya lowered his head and looked at the cat in his arms.
"Come and say hello to them."
The black cat raised his head and glanced at Char, then closed his eyes and took a nap.
It will never let a second person know that it is Queen Britannia.
"She seems a little shy." Xia Ya said.
Arthur jumped down from the seat next to the bar, came to Char's side, and looked at the black cat curiously.
"Is she going to live with us next?"
"Borrow it for a while, and it will go home after a while." Xia Ya said.
"Great, Sonny will definitely like this new friend." Arthur said happily.
"You have to watch Sonny and don't let him scare his new friends," Alicia said.
Sonny recently likes to express his affection by jumping on people. Every time she goes back, the dog will jump at her feet and look up at it.
They also like to pounce on some dogs next door when they meet them. Alicia is educating them these days, but she hasn’t seen any results yet.
"Don't worry, Sonny is very friendly, Alicia." Arthur said.
Hearing this name, Isabel, who had been sleeping, opened her eyes and raised her forehead. She struggled and jumped from Char's arms to the ground.
Although she was not very familiar with this new body, the cat's sensitivity still allowed her to land on the ground very flexibly.
She trotted to the bar, jumped onto the bar with the help of a bar chair, and came to Alicia's side. Her green eyes were looking at Alicia carefully.
"Your name is Alicia too?"
The cat's utterance obviously frightened everyone present except Char.
Alicia almost lost her grip on the cup in her hand, but luckily she didn't drop it to the ground.
"Xia...Xia." Arthur's voice stuttered a little, "Did the cat speak just now?"
"I used to be a human," Isabel said, "but I turned into a cat because of some accidents."
Hearing her speak again, Arthur's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward to look at the black cat curiously.
"Are you a wizard too?"
Isabel was about to say that she was not, but when she turned her head, she saw Arthur's expectant eyes, and then she raised her head and said.
"Of course, I'm a very powerful wizard."
"Then can you undo Alicia's curse?" Arthur said quickly, "The curse of the Witch of the Wilderness."
"Curse?" Isabel frowned, and then began to look Alicia up and down, "What curse has she been cast on?"
"I don't know, Alicia can't say, this is part of the curse." Arthur said, "But it must not be something good."
After hearing this, Isabel was now basically certain that the person in front of her was her sister Alicia, and she also understood why she looked like this at this moment.
After a pause, she shook her head and said, "I can't help it. I still haven't unlocked the magic myself."
Although she had been prepared, Alicia's eyes darkened when she heard these words, but she had no words.
Isabel looked at Char, "Can't he solve it?"
"Char said it would take some time." Arthur said.
Char...Isabel whispered in her heart.
I seem to have heard this name somewhere...
Yes, reports from the town of Eagle Point have described that, according to local witnesses, they witnessed a divine battle.
He brought heavy rain to extinguish the fire, and also brought divine punishment to the Spanish Empire, destroying their warships and slowing down their offensive.
And that god's alias in Eagle Point Town is...Xia Ya.
"What's your name?" Alicia asked.
"My name is..." Isabel hesitated and said, "Bella."
Xia Ya watched all this with interest. The two sisters were really carved out of the same mold, and they both had a very strong sense of self-esteem in their hearts.
The last time Isabel came to the tavern, Alicia did not recognize her. This time Isabel recognized her sister, but she also used a pseudonym.
None of them wanted to face their relatives in this posture.
"How long have you known him?" Alicia asked casually.
"I met him on the way," Isabel said truthfully, "and then he brought me back."
"This is in line with his style." Alicia nodded.
This is how Arthur came, and he even let her, the weird old thing who came uninvited, stay. He liked to bring some strange things to his home.
"Speaking of which, what have you been doing these days when you leave early and come home late?" Alicia asked Xia Ya.
Her tone sounded casual, but in fact she had wanted to ask for a long time. Some time ago, she could see Xia Ya almost every day, but now she suddenly couldn't see anyone, and she was really not used to it.
Xia Ya looked at Alicia with interest, "Are you curious?"
"Who knows if you went on a date with a beautiful girl again." Alicia said casually.
Xia Ya raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Well...in a sense, that is really a beautiful "girl"."
Hearing this, Alicia pursed her lips, but she did not show any particularly intense emotions and just continued pretending not to care.
"It's not surprising. Although this has nothing to do with me, you should take it easy and don't expose this place. I don't want to see those women who were ruthlessly abandoned by you come to the tavern to cause trouble every day."
Alicia often chats with Calcifer, and from its mouth, she already knows how Char's heart-stealing legend came about.
Char said somewhat amusedly, "You only heard what Calcifer said about these things, right?"
"My relationship with him now is better than your relationship with him." Alicia raised her eyebrows.
Isabel looked at Alicia and then at Xia, with a little novelty in her eyes.
To be honest, she had never seen Alicia like this.
Almost every day, Alicia is very quiet and does not like to talk. She is very decent in everything she does, elegant, noble and humble, and does not compare herself to others.
Let alone...for whom does this sourness arise.
Xia Ya was speechless. He slowly walked forward and sat at the bar. He picked up the brandy placed on the table on one side and poured himself a glass of wine.
"I'm solving your problem."
Although Char didn't say it clearly, Alicia still understood that he was talking about the witch of the wilderness.
She was silent for a moment and said, "What's going on?"
"There have been some minor problems, but things are moving in a good direction. These things should be resolved soon." Xia Ya looked at the golden wine in the wine glass and murmured in a low voice.
"I'm going to take a bath."
As he spoke, he drank the brandy in the glass in one gulp, then opened the door on one side and walked in.
Isabel looked at Char and Alicia with some confusion. The conversation between them was obviously an encrypted call to her.
She seemed to want to say something, but then, there was a faint growling sound from her stomach. As her soul gradually merged with this body, the state of this body was also being felt by her.
Hungry, cold, weak.
Alicia heard the voice, and under Isabel's stunned eyes, Alicia directly picked her up and took her behind the door.
Behind the door is a very large living room. If you look at it from the outside, you would never expect that there is such a large space behind the pub.
In other words, it is impossible to have such a space from common sense, because there is a clothing store next door, and even if the store next door is bought, it will not be so big.
Xia Ya is no longer here, I don’t know where she went.
Alicia put the cat on the table, and then opened the cover of the dinner plate on the table. On the plate was a piece of steak that was shiny with oil.
"Eat it, this is reserved for Char, but it seems like he has already eaten it."
Isabel raised her head and glanced at her, then said, "Thank you."
Her sister has always been kind. When she couldn't see her, she would often feed the birds by the window and talk to them.
Her hunger prompted her to step forward and take a bite of the steak. She originally thought that eating this kind of steak would be very difficult with her body, but she didn't expect that the beef was very tender and not woody, and it didn't take much effort to bite it off. a piece of meat.
"Is this beef from Sashili?" Isabel said while swallowing the beef.
Alicia nodded and said with a slight smile, "As long as you like it."
"This meat should be difficult to buy, right?" Isabel said, "After the Spanish Empire went to war with us, the sea route there was blocked, and we can only go by land. Now it is priceless in the imperial capital."
"We have other channels," Alicia said.
Then, under Isabel's confused look, she walked to the stove and picked up a wooden basin placed on the stove, which contained toiletries such as towels.
"You can sleep on this sofa tonight." Alicia pointed to the sofa on one side.
She and Xia Ya also chose this sofa together. The interior is filled with silk. It is also the most expensive of all the furniture, but its comfort is unquestionable. Xia Ya sometimes likes to come here to sleep.
"There is also a cat in this house. It likes to attack people. It is still in the process of education, but its intentions are not bad. It just wants to play with you.
If you don't like it, tell it to go away and it won't bother you anymore. "
"Where are you going?"
Isabel walked to the corner of the table, where Alicia had just placed a wet towel. She raised her front paws to grab the towel, wiped it on her mouth, and then wiped her hands.
As a member of the royal family, it goes without saying that her manners are very straight. She sits very straight, and the movements of wiping her mouth are also very particular. If a beautiful woman does this, it will make people feel very elegant, but she is doing this at this moment. It's a cat, and it looks a little funny.
"I'm going to take a bath and I'll be back in about an hour." Alicia said, "Arthur will help you get familiar with this house. He is very enthusiastic."
Isabel nodded. Her sister was like this. She had to take a bath almost every day and it became a habit.
As mentioned before, Europeans did not bathe often because in this era, clean hot water was not easily available like in modern cities.
Although as a royal family, it is easier for them to take a bath than ordinary people, but Isabel does not take a bath every day.
She watched Alicia come to the door, turned the doorknob, and with the sound of a bell, the door opened, and a rich floral fragrance filled the entire living room driven by the evening breeze.
Isabel almost thought she had seen it wrong and wiped her eyes with her cat's paw, but the scene behind the door was no longer the tavern they had just entered, but a garden, and it was no longer pouring rain outside.
The quiet moonlight swayed down from the sky, covering the colorful flowers with a silver skirt, giving it a unique kind of beauty.
Alicia lifted the kerosene lamp placed by the door and walked slowly towards the depths of the garden. It was not until the door was closed that Isabel wiped her eyes and recovered from the shock.
Although she knew that the tavern owner was not simple, at this moment, she had a more intuitive understanding.
There was a time when she was young that she had imagined that she had magical powers and could do whatever she wanted, but in the past thirty years, she had never experienced anything supernatural.
Unexpectedly, I experienced it all in one day.
Isabel let out a long breath, jumped off the dining table, and then jumped on the sofa Alicia mentioned, wanting to rest for a while to relieve her current fatigue.
But then, a sound coming from the stairs on one side attracted her attention. It was a kind of footsteps, but not human footsteps.
She turned her head and looked at the stairs. Sonny's figure slowly appeared from the stairs. She looked at the body that was a circle larger than hers, as well as the standard predator's big claws and a pair of eyes full of curiosity about the world. s eyes.
Isabel's expression gradually froze, and the crisis sense coming from the cat made her hair slightly tingle.
Do you call this...a cat?
