"Ah~um~!"
Leah stretched and yawned from her mouth.
From the bedroom, dragging his hazy body, he slowly walked out.
As soon as he opened the door, before he could open his eyes clearly, he saw a flash of white floating in front of him.
Liya: "?"
The dull sleepiness disappeared, and she was a little confused. She stretched out her head and looked in the direction where the figure left.
The moment she saw the figure clearly, Liya froze on the spot.
It was a girl wearing a black and white maid outfit.
Did their family ever employ minors?
Looking along the clothes, Liya focused on the girl's lower body.
There, a strip was revealed...
White tail! ?
This time Liya was completely stunned, her brows furrowed, puzzled.
Since when did we have a demihuman maid at home?
etc!
It seems that she did bring back a cat girl yesterday.
Even the color of the cat maid in front of her was exactly the same as the one she brought back yesterday.
She was about to call out to the cat maid in front of her, but a gentle voice preempted her.
"Good morning, Miss Leah."
As if she sensed Liya in advance, she turned around, looked at Liya, and bowed very respectfully.
"...?"
This time, Liya was completely dizzy.
She covered her head, countless doubts filling her mind. For a while, she didn't know how to think.
"You... can talk?"
Oh no, demihumans can talk.
You should ask her how she learned human language.
Get up violently.
Liya's mind was still a little groggy. She had been dealing with demi-humans for about ten years, and she understood the natural wildness of demi-humans better than anyone else.
Living in the wild, they are difficult to tame.
So except for Heilnerson who stayed in the old house as the housekeeper because of his long life.
No demi-human can be a maid.
Their own personalities determine that they are simply not suitable to serve others.
In a daze, Liya heard the cat girl in front of her speak.
The soft and gentle voice came slowly, making Liya feel extremely healed:
"You can call me by my name, Vanilla."
"This is the name my master gave me."
Vanilla? Owner?
An idea flashed in her head, and Liya instantly thought of Victor.
He's pretty good at playing... No, how on earth did he do it?
Liya looked confused and waved to the cat girl maid.
"Come here, Vanilla."
"Yes, Miss Liya."
Xiang Zilan took the initiative to get closer to Liya.
Liya lowered her head and looked at her.
Cat people are generally short in stature, especially female cat people, who appear even more petite.
The white-haired girl in front of her only reached Liya's chest.
"Incredible..."
Liya's shocked voice slowly sounded.
She still remembered how tired she was when educating those demi-humans.
It took her nearly two years just to teach them to read and speak normally.
Not to mention other knowledge.
And she just tentatively sent the cat girl to Victor's bedroom.
Only took one night.
Not only can the other party fully understand human language, but they can even introduce themselves politely.
Asians never know what politeness is.
Even Liya's subordinates only showed respect to her.
Liya observed carefully, and the cat girl in front of her behaved exactly like a normal human maid.
"Magic is amazing..."
She could only attribute all of this to magical magic.
It can only be said that Xiangzilan's performance has exceeded her expectations.
So, she asked with some anticipation what was currently most interesting to her:
"Can you use magic now?"
"It's that kind of, bia!, blasting out a big fireball..."
Xiang Zilan just raised her cute face and looked at Liya's dancing performance with a smile.
It wasn't until Liya herself felt a little embarrassed that Xiang Zilan lowered her head and said respectfully:
"I'm sorry, Miss Leah, I'm studying hard."
"My master told me that becoming a mage is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires talent and constant hard work."
"Uh...ah, okay, you're right."
Liya never thought that one day, she would be educated by a demi-human.
She is still a cat-human girl who is much smaller than her in both age and stature.
It was true that she had acted too hastily.
Wanting to have a mage among the demi-humans in the family was Liya's sudden whim.
Even if Victor didn't succeed, she wouldn't say anything.
Suddenly, two soft little hands held her hand.
Liya was in a daze, but the next second, Xiang Zilan lifted her hand and placed it on her soft face.
A softness came from her palms and spread to Liya's heart.
Are all cat people's faces so soft?
Vanilla rubbed Liya with her soft face for a while, and then put down Liya's hand.
"Please don't worry, Miss Leah."
"The master said that this kind of behavior will make unhappy people happy again. I feel that you are not in a good mood, so you make your own decisions."
"Hey, ah...thank you."
Liya looked at her hands hanging in the air and scratched them, feeling the remaining softness in her hands, feeling a little disappointed.
"Please don't thank me, Miss Leah."
After saying that, Xiangzi bent down and bowed respectfully.
"Your kindness in saving us will never be forgotten."
"You can call me anytime and use me anytime."
Listening to her words, Liya could only smile helplessly.
One hand was placed on Vanilla's head again and rubbed it.
"How old are you? You don't have to act so mature."
Xiang Zilan was rubbed so comfortably that she could not help but purr.
Cat girls can also be unhappy, and sometimes Leah will comfort them.
Liya smiled, her eyes full of doting:
"have a look."
"He is still a child who needs to rely on others."
…
"Victor?"
Liya suddenly pushed open Victor's bedroom door and stepped into the room.
She looked at the half-open window next to the bed, and the breeze blew in through the crack.
Victor was sitting on a chair, leaning against the window.
He held a complicated and unfamiliar magic book in his hand, and he read it with great concentration.
The breeze blew his clothes, making them look particularly hazy in the morning light.
This is an elegant, noble count.
Liya looked at Victor in a daze.
"Um?"
Victor slowly looked up.
Feeling his gaze, Liya felt a little embarrassed.
"Did I... disturb you?"
She regretted saying this.
Obviously I have never cared so much before.
In the past, no matter whether Victor was sleeping or not, she would push open his bedroom door recklessly.
Now that she said this, she seemed a little unnatural.
But Victor didn't care, he just lowered his eyes.
The book flickered slightly, turned into dots of starlight, and disappeared into the hand.
"fine."
Hearing Victor's response, Liya breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah, right."
"How on earth did you do that?"
Victor knew she was referring to vanilla.
The cat girl I brought back yesterday.
In fact, she has become a disciple of Vega.
Hmm...Vega's third disciple.
As an evil god, it is extremely easy to tamper with other people's thoughts.
Not even Angus could stop Vega from turning him into a fool and tampering with his beliefs.
Kitten Girl, who doesn't even have any thoughts of her own, is naturally at the mercy of Vega.
Vega allowed her to have thoughts and knowledge, allowing her to skip those tedious stages of enlightenment.
But he won't tell Liya about this.
So, Victor pretended to be profound and explained:
"The power of magic."
"Do you think it's amazing?"
Liya nodded and reluctantly accepted.
Then, she immediately asked the next question she wanted to ask:
"Shouldn't you and Gwen come back together?"
"Where's Gwen?"
What happened to Victor in the North had already reached the royal capital.
Angus was killed by Jia Xiu, and Jia Xiu was killed by Victor and Gwen.
The development of the whole incident is extremely sad.
Although Liya didn't understand, even if Victor beat Angus, why did Angus's son want to kill him too?
Is Uncle Angus so hated?
But Liya didn't think it mattered. Except for Gwen, she didn't really like Angus's family.
Victor just looked out the window and said calmly:
"Gwen?"
"She was summoned by the emperor and returned to the royal capital ahead of schedule."
Liya blinked, a little confused.
Why did the emperor summon her?
Before she could continue to ask, a servant came to Victor's bedroom door.
She was breathing heavily, her face was red, and she seemed very anxious.
The moment he saw Liya, the servant quickly adjusted his breathing, patted his chest, and said quickly:
"Miss Liya, I finally found you."
"Ah, the head of the family..."
The moment she saw Victor, she was suddenly stunned, and her words seemed to be stuck in her throat.
Liya realized the servant's concerns and waved her hand:
"You don't have to worry about him anymore. If you have any questions, just tell him."
"Yes Yes."
The servant lowered his head in panic and continued:
"There is news from Lady Leon, she said."
"There was an... elf mixed in with the 'child' saved yesterday."
When Liya heard this, she was immediately stunned.
"Elves?"
"Lord Leon said so."
Liya rubbed her forehead, as if she felt a little sad and fell into deep thought.
As the darlings of nature, elves cannot be captured at will.
If the elves are coerced, the captor will be punished by nature.
Moreover, the empire explicitly prohibits it. In terms of international status, elves are friends of the empire.
If someone really dares to capture the elf, the news will be spread.
I'm afraid the Imperial troops will be at your door the next day.
As for Kokot? That doesn't count.
She signed a contract with the Cravenas and became their official employee.
Feel free to oppress.
Liya touched her chin and murmured:
"Those guys named Leiser... are so courageous."
After all, the batch of goods just intercepted was destined for the Reiser family.
Liya now knew why a fleet of demihuman slaves needed a fourth-level warrior to escort them.
It turns out they caught such a big secret.
"Then what happened to the elf?"
Listening to Liya's question, the servant lowered his head and reported hesitantly:
"Everything is fine now, but..."
"only?"
Liya was a little confused, looked at her, and motioned for her to continue:
"That elf lady has always said that she wants to find the long-lost elf queen of their country."
"Ah? The long-lost Elf Queen?"
…
The royal capital is not far away from Brighton.
Victor's mansion.
In the flowerbed, a sleepy elf wearing cool clothes is lying on the clouds.
Suddenly woke up and sneezed.
