After Buying a Cat Slave, I Become Obsessed with Eavesdropping on Her Thoughts

In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 296 Talk to Duke Freke (1/2)

"Is there anything unusual in the kingdom?"

Every time he opened his eyes in the morning, Reiner could see Lalith standing at the head of his bed.

This guy was either staring at Reiner with interest, or combing his long purple hair.

Seeing Reiner wake up, she slowly walked to Reiner's side, pushed the elf aside, and sat over herself.

"Nothing happened, and no trace of the ancient dragon was found. I will continue patrolling."

"Thank you for your hard work." Reiner reached out and lifted Lalith's chin, meeting her eyes.

He has been staying at his father-in-law's house for several days. During this time, Lalith has not found any magic stones in the kingdom, which is undoubtedly good news for Reiner.

And Aurelion has disappeared without a trace. Up to now, there is no news from him. I wonder if he has encountered any trouble...

At this moment, Nora suddenly screamed in surprise, rolled left and right in Reiner's arms, and finally opened her eyes.

A trace of cold sweat seeped out of her forehead.

After a moment, she hugged Reiner tighter.

Reiner stroked her long hair and asked softly, "Are you having a nightmare again?"

He kissed Noila's forehead, gently touched her head, and continued to comfort her.

Nora nodded and closed her eyes again.

Ever since she witnessed Reiner almost being killed by the ancient dragon last time, she seemed to have a heart disease. She always dreamed of some bad scenes when she slept at night and woke herself up in fright.

She had hardly had a good night's sleep these days, and would often make loud noises in the middle of the night, waking everyone up.

This is not a good thing for Nora, who is pregnant.

Reiner deeply reflected on his actions.

I secretly made up my mind never to let my wife worry in the future.

"Don't worry, I will always be by your side. Nothing will happen." Reiner murmured in her ear.

"Master... For our sake, you must live well." Nora curled up and muttered.

"Of course. For you, I absolutely cannot die."

Junice was also woken up. She reached out and knocked Reiner on the head: "Don't be so reckless in the future. Look how scared Nora is."

Reiner nodded repeatedly.

At first he thought that just hugging the kitten would be fine, but he didn't expect that she couldn't sleep well in the next few days and was always troubled by nightmares.

Just when he was about to take another nap with everyone, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Wuwuwu..."

The elf turned over and snuggled into Martina's broad chest, trying to block out the sounds from outside.

Reiner glanced at Lelith, who replied, "It's Harold, Mrs. Junice's father."

It was my father-in-law who came to visit me in person. I don't know what he wanted from him.

Reiner called out to the door, "Wait a minute! I'll be right there."

He quickly put on his clothes, then opened the wooden door a crack and slipped out sideways.

Just as he was about to close the door, Laelis reached out and blocked the door, then followed him out.

The radiant father-in-law subconsciously moved aside when he saw Lalith.
