Chapter 100 Cat's Yarn Ball

"Hey, don't scare me. You have a stomachache... should I go to the vet or the witch doctor?"

Clang, clang~

Pandora leaped lightly into the darkness. Shadows were her closest friends, and the castle between fantasy and reality was her most reliable support.

A kitten sneaking in to steal some fish, swaying and thinking it has won? No, no, no~ The chessboard has been set. No matter how many objections there are, no change is allowed.

Snap, snap, snap.

The cat's paws touched the carpet silently. Yet the castle itself was her eyes and her ears, and the sound of her footsteps echoed clearly in her mind, like a symphony.

Closer, a little closer, yes~very good.

Alexandra does have some flaws. Will your death make those flaws disappear? I'm looking forward to it.

"Hehehe." I caught you.

Pandora picked up the kitten with joy on her face and looked into her eyes.

The white cat stared into her eyes and slowly opened its mouth: "Do you want to betray the Queen, Crown of Alexander?"

Time froze in Pandora's eyes. How could this be possible? It didn't make sense. This was clearly an ordinary half-human!

The knife handle fell to the ground with a clang. She grabbed the cat by the neck and looked it up and down, and could vaguely smell the scent of a goblin.

It is the Queen's blessing.

That doesn't mean anything, the Queen is just casting a wide net!

Over the past millennia, there have been at least eighty, if not a hundred, children of destiny and their mothers who have been blessed. How many can bear their fate and fulfill the prophecy?!

"Pandora, don't let me down."

"Relax, it will take many, many, many years for the prophecy to come true."

"The timing is wrong. Magrano's child...is not good enough."

Wait, wait, wait, wait, how much longer?

It was clearly agreed that when the Roman princess married Antonio, their child would be the perfect child of prophecy! But—

[“Elena’s child? It may not be born.”]

The Queen actually gave an ambiguous answer.

Ophelia? Yes, she could have many children, but she would never give birth to the Child of Prophecy.

How long will it take? Who knows.

The only thing she could do was to continue possessing the crown, wait for the wedding of Elena and Antonio, and pray to all the gods in the sky that they would have a child as soon as possible.

If not, then continue to wait. All previous arrangements can be discarded, because they do not conform to the predicted fate and are the endings that the Queen does not want.

The Queen's only love is in line with the unfolding of the prophecy. She does not consider how much other fairies have paid, what their preferences are, or whether they will despair.

Because Queen Pixie is the fairy among fairies.

The wait has been too long. Now that God has put the crown on Elena's head, she must be the one!

Why wait for a newborn to grow up? Adults can change their names, too. After it's done, whether the Queen is happy or not, she'll be free.

Countless memories flashed through her mind as Pandora looked back at the calm little cat. Her already existing hostility surged to a new high: "Are you sent by the Queen? Just right."

Please disappear soon, I can control my destiny!

The blade solidified in her palm once again, and Melia's expression froze: No way, I have to die several times every time?! Looking at her surprised expression, she had guessed right just now!

So Pandora isn't a fairy? She's not the Crown of Alexander? Or... she's not on the same page with the Queen.

It's just trial and error, I'm good at it.

In a flash, Melia adjusted her attitude and spoke again: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in the Queen's plan either."

"…What's the meaning?"

The tip of the knife stopped before her eyes, and Pandora was a little confused: Is there anyone else besides her who dares to defy the Queen's will? Even if it was her, she would only dare to kill first and ask for permission later when things went wrong. What could this guy rely on?

The little white cat clapped its paws lazily. "The Queen needed a human helper, but the uncertainty of manipulating humans is too great, so she chose me to deceive."

Deception? Pandora didn't ask further questions. She had a glimmer of understanding: of course there were fairies chosen by the Queen just like her. In order to deceive the will of the world, she had to possess the Crown of Alexander. Even the fate of "Alexander" depended on overlap.

This cat, able to use fairy magic to transform into a human, or vice versa, must have used some trickery to deceive the world. It certainly looks like the Queen's handiwork.

"So, why did you betray the Queen?" Pandora half squatted down and put the cat on the ground to show her friendliness.

"It's simple and boring. I don't like living a routine life."

The white cat wagged its tail. "The Queen likes to control everything, leaving me with very little to do. You're different~"

Melia was half-truthful, relying entirely on legends and speculation. Fortunately, she had many opportunities for trial and error, and the more radical the test, the more effective it was.

"Really? You're here to help me? How can you help me?" Pandora's tone softened, her eyebrows raised high.

She's trying to figure me out.

Melia licked her paw calmly and meowed, "Precognition. Even though I've become like this, I still retain some of my precognitive abilities. You know, precognition and prediction are two different things."

Precognition?

Pandora was a little hesitant: the ability to predict the future is useful, but the Queen's layout is intricate and complicated. Will it backfire?

Seeing her hesitation, the cat came over caringly: "Don't worry, it will be useful eventually. You know... it's very dangerous."

Of course it's dangerous, for the queen, the pawns, and even the whole world.

More helpers mean more strength. Even if she can only issue a death warning before the crisis comes, she can still buy a little time to escape.

Thinking of this, the dangerous aura gradually dissipated: "Really? Then why do you follow Alexandra every day? She is just a container."

And they have almost no "heart", and are only keen on chasing power: otherwise how can they resist the temptation of the goblin?

Melia rolled her eyes cunningly. "Well, think about it. An obedient pawn is always better than an enemy. Humans are very strange creatures. Besides... ahem, I have to protect myself. What if the Queen really notices this?"

She took the initiative to "expose" her fence-sitter mentality: Look, if the queen blames me, I will always find an excuse to escape.

Pandora became more and more satisfied: fairies don't expect the loyalty of fairies. When disaster strikes, everyone flies away. Of course, I can fly faster.

Now that the two had reached a consensus, Pandora pointed out the window and said, "See that tower? If you foresee anything related to it, tell me immediately."

"Okay~"

The cat's paw and the human hand clapped their palms together in tacit understanding, with ulterior motives and a deal made.

"What are you doing?"

Snap, boots hit the carpet.

Pandora grabbed the kitten and threw her to Elena: "It's nothing~ Here, I'll give it back to you~!" With a burst of laughter, she disappeared around the corner.

Elena caught the white cat and tapped her forehead helplessly: "Don't get so close to her in the future, be careful she might eat your cat meat."

"Eh! She eats cat meat?" A cat flower blossomed on the little face.

"Who knows?"

Elena wrapped Melia in a towel and walked back slowly. It was better not to tell her that Pandora had many stuffed animals.

…

Lying back comfortably on the big bed, Melia put her paws on Elena's belly and squinted her eyes happily.

"Hello."

A finger poked at his back: "Are you not going to become a human?"

"Huh? I have to change into pajamas after becoming a human...tiring." The cat changed its posture with confidence and let its tail hang on her neck, which made her feel itchy.

Elena brushed her tail aside and said, "I'll have someone prepare a cat bed tomorrow. What do you want to put under it?"

"cotton."

"oh."

Elena closed her eyes. "What is cotton?" Someone whispered, "I think someone told me where the Huns found cotton…where? Where did I hear that?"

She raised her fingers and gently stroked the cat's fur. She eventually fell asleep and collapsed onto the pillow.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the cat ears suddenly rose: No movement, Pandora and Elena should be asleep, right?

Melia quietly raised her head, and her four paws quietly stepped on the blanket and slid to the side of her neck.

Inhale...inhale, inhale...inhale.

His breathing was steady, he must be asleep.

"What do you do with Alexandra every day?"

Humph, besides saving his life and investigating, of course - removing the crown!

The cat's eye gleamed in the darkness, fixed intently on the equally glittering Alexander's Crown. This thing was shaped like a laurel leaf, so it wouldn't be so uncomfortable to sleep without taking it off. Wouldn't it be a nuisance on the back of my head?

The reason for not taking it down might be that... it cannot be taken down.

As we all know, a magic circle needs a center, and a control technique needs a core. The thing that controls Elena is most likely the crown.

Disassembling magic items is very dangerous, but who told me to save the game?

Aaaaaaa! The cat bit down on one of the leaves and tore it apart with all its might: "Tear it to pieces, you bastard! I told you not to bully Elena—Aaaaaaaaa!"

The bay leaf turned hard and cold in her mouth, and Melia could taste the blood in her mouth. But she still pulled desperately, trying to destroy the crown.

Tick, tick, it seemed like something round and cool was sliding into the mouth along with the blood, but only blood beads passed through the throat, and nothing solid could be bitten.

Snap!

The metal pierced into the gums, and a sharp pain made the white cat take off on the spot: "Meow——"

"Wow!" Elena jumped up from the bed and caught the flying kitten: "What's wrong?!"

“Wuwuwu…”

She lit the candle and immediately saw beads of blood hanging from the cat's mouth.

"What did you bite?"

Elena opened Melia's mouth and suddenly caught a glimpse of the makeup mirror.

My goodness, the crown was twisted crooked and it seemed like a few gems were missing!

"Did you just bite my crown!?"

"Woo woo~"

The white cat curled up guiltily, pointing its tail at her.

If the crown is damaged, then the coronation ceremony... Furious, Elena grabbed the cat's neck and said, "Do you know—"

"Woo, woo."

Her pearly round eyes were filled with grievance and fear, reminding her of a helpless girl.

Damn it, it's obviously you who's biting things randomly...

If it really was a wild cat, it would have been thrown to death by now! Phew… Don’t be angry, don’t be angry about what has already happened.

The important thing is to educate the cat and prevent it from making similar mistakes again.

Holding the neck always gave her a terrified feeling. Elena put the white cat on the pillow and flattened it with her palm.

"Meow?"

Melia only felt that she was stretched, and before she could feel the softness of the pillow... snap!

A crisp slap landed on the cat's butt.

"Don't you dare bite anything randomly in the future!"

"Me?!"

"Recognize your mistake and don't make it again!" Bang!

"Mee——"

After two slaps, the white cat on the pillow burst into tears, and Elena dropped her hands in fright: "What, you don't want to admit your mistake?" She had clearly only used half a point of strength just now, it shouldn't be that painful, right?

"Ouch, my stomach hurts."

"What?" A huge sense of confusion enveloped him.

"I have a stomach ache."

The white cat shivered and curled up into a ball. A strange heat was stirring violently in its stomach, as if a ball of light was swinging left and right, swallowing up foreign objects one by one.

When did I swallow something...was it the powder I just bit off or something...a gem? No way, how could a ruby ​​pass through a cat's throat?

"Hey, don't scare me. You have a stomachache... should I go to the vet or the witch doctor?"

Elena scratched her hair irritably: "Would it be better to become a human?"

"Well, the child, it seems like the child is growing... She, she's moving!"

The cat squeezed out a sentence painfully.

"Child?" A crack appeared in the huge blankness: "Are you pregnant?" Is it a cat or a human? When? The world seemed to turn pale, leaving her unable to find her fulcrum, floating lightly.

"Meow—" Melia bit her finger and said, "Go call the doctor! It's your child!"
