"Am I disturbing you?"
Lalith suddenly appeared from the window, scaring Peggy so much that she trembled, and then she left Reiner.
In her hand she still held half a loaf of white bread.
Paige met her gaze, then returned to her room dejectedly.
Lalith came in through the window, looked at Reiner with interest, and then said, "Forget it today. It's not good for the master's health."
"Where have you been? I thought you were upstairs."
"I patrolled the forest for a while, then found Junice and gave her a body. Because I got up too late in the morning, she didn't dare to ask me for a body and left. Since she is the master's wife, I have an obligation to protect her."
Reiner nodded, it was good to have this kind of ideological awareness.
"Also, I found it interesting that the man Cannon is currently in charge of, Connor, is driving to the territories of other nobles.
I peeked at his letters and it seems he is secretly contacting other disgruntled lords, trying to unite them together to fight against his king.
I guess when his brothers come back, they will declare their break with the king, and then we can take the opportunity to win them over.
Their family has three territories along the border. Although none of them are particularly prosperous, they are currently a considerable force for us."
"You said you were patrolling the forest, but you're snooping through someone's mail." Reiner leaned against the wall and looked at her. "They haven't even declared independence yet. If things develop as you say, then even if we don't extend an olive branch, they'll probably come knocking on our door."
Lalith shrugged, suddenly squatted in front of Reiner, and raised her head slightly.
She was seeking a reward; she really enjoyed being held by the horns and shaken from side to side by Reiner.
Reiner complained: "You don't look like you've lived five thousand years..."
"I've been bored for five thousand days, and suddenly I found something interesting. That's it." Lalith narrowed her eyes, seeming to enjoy the feeling of being rocked back and forth.
Just then, Peggy poked her head out of the room and stole a glance at the two of them.
Her younger sister Neve also followed her and leaned forward, then softly called out to Reiner, "Brother."
The ears of these two foxes are shaking gently, making them look particularly cute.
Especially Neve, her silly look is quite adorable.
"What's wrong?"
Neve scratched the fox ears on her head with her hands and smiled innocently: "Sister wants you to come in and play."
Reiner and Lelith smiled at each other.
Lailisi took a bite of white bread, stood up and walked towards the room next to her: "You haven't tidied your room since you got up yesterday. Master, let me help you tidy up your room. Remember to call me if you need any help."
After saying that, she slowly closed the door.
Paige walked out from behind the door, took Reiner's hand and pulled him into the room.
Reiner took two steps back: "I haven't even finished my breakfast yet, let me go downstairs and have some first."
"Let me do it!" Peggy opened the door and ran downstairs.
During this time, Neve sat on the bed, playing with a finger-sized colorful wooden doll that Peggy had carved for her in her spare time.
She looked so cute when she was concentrating.
Neve noticed Reiner observing her, smiled kindly, and then handed Reiner a doll with long white hair.
"What's wrong?"
