Chapter 181: Talia will find out what's on his mind sooner or later

On the second floor of Cat Boss Restaurant, Talia’s home.

The ceiling, made of wood panels and diagonal beams, is inlaid with a glass skylight. Its tilt angle gives the living room the feeling of a terrace where you can look up at the stars.

Sitting in her house on this quiet night, looking up is like bathing in the splendor of the Milky Way.

The delicate wood grain on the wall has a calm beauty, and the warm-toned decorations and furniture can also warm people's hearts.

Originally, Talia's home only had a recliner and a chair that matched the desk in the bedroom.

But then, one day, an extra chair appeared in the living room.

It seems that she bought it for Lanqi.

Now Lanqi was letting Hyperion sit on the chair while he was standing aside.

He would not touch Taliyah's personal belongings, such as entering her bedroom or using her recliner, without her permission.

Moonlight and starlight pour down from the glass skylight. The warm light of light yellow lingers around the wooden-beamed bookshelves in the house. The aromatherapy on the chest of drawers exudes three soft and layered scents of milk, magnolia and distilled liquor.

"Ms. Tata's home is so reassuring."

Hyperion sighed as she gazed at the starry sky of Ikerit.

Even now when she recalled it, she felt that if Talia and the Great Love Poet stood together, they would be real twins.

Perhaps because she had been with the great poet for a long time, Hyperion didn't know why she felt a sense of familiarity towards Talia when she saw her.

“That’s the reliability of older women.”

Lanci said with a smile.

However, when he heard the sound of the door lock the next second, Lanqi, who had been as elegant and relaxed as a butler, suddenly restrained his lips and pretended that he had not been chatting with Hyperion just now.

Talia pushed open the door and glanced at Hyperion, who was sitting on the chair a little nervously, and Ranchi, who was well-behaved, with her golden eyes.

“…”

It seems that I will have to buy one more chair for my home in the future.

Talia pondered for a moment.

She didn't stare at Hyperion for too long, as she didn't want Lanqi to notice anything.

Although Talia had fantasized about whether it would be nice if Hyperion could stay with her, it was obviously unlikely.

It was impossible for the princess to just stay in the home of a strange woman.

It was likely that they just wanted to consult her about something today, or maybe it was about what happened in the last shadow world.

But since I have met Hyperion today.

Then I will have the opportunity to get familiar with her slowly and let her come to my place often.

"What do you want from me?"

Talia's question had no questioning tone as usual.

"My classmate is being targeted by a killer. Tata, can you help me protect her? Because the source of the information is not a normal channel, you are the only one I can trust."

Lanqi and Talia have always been frank with each other, since they can't lie.

"How to protect?"

Talia wondered how this guy could always foresee danger.

Until now, Talia still doesn't understand who wanted to kill Lanqi.

As a result, Lanqi now told her that someone wanted to kill Hyperion.

And it was confirmed to be true.

"Let her stay with you for a while, two weeks at most."

Lanqi asked sincerely.

Talia was stunned when she heard this.

She was a little suspicious whether she had heard something wrong.

Then she reacted quickly.

"What's the benefit?"

Talia asked, her attitude still as cold as ever.

An unconditional agreement would surely arouse Lanqi's suspicion, so she had to propose a deal symbolically.

No matter what Lanqi promised, she just had to agree to it when the time came.

Ever since she met Lanqi, her life seemed to have turned from bad to good.

Even if you stay at home and do nothing, you can still make your dreams come true.

Is this what humans call "happiness"?

“…”

Lanqi looked at Talia for a moment and didn't speak rashly.

Talia's response was better than expected.

Since Talia is willing to make a deal instead of rejecting it outright, it means that she is not opposed to it as long as the price is right.

"...Although this is a promise that cannot be fulfilled for the time being, if you protect Hyperion, you will gain the friendship of the Duke of Alansar. Within two years, you will become a distinguished guest and advisor of the Duke's family."

Lanci said on behalf of Hyperion.

The value of the favor from the Duke's family cannot be measured by money.

But the prerequisite is that the Duke can come back, or Hyperion can inherit the Dukedom.

"I promise you in the name of the Aransal family, Miss Tata."

Hyperion also bowed solemnly to Talia and made a promise.

Talia just looked at them, silent, unable to speak for a moment.

She didn't know what kind of trouble Hyperion had gotten into that made the two of them come to her for help.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

What Talia didn't understand was what was wrong with Lanqi. He seemed to want to rush into the storm to find Duke Migaia.

But Lanqi didn't know.

She has also always wanted to find her important sister.

It was after meeting Ranch that she accidentally discovered clues about her sister Ifatia from Ranch's Shadow World Challenge - a half-demon girl who was similar to her sister, Hyperion.

Later, after secretly observing Hyperion, she was really sure that Hyperion was the daughter of Ifatia.

This allowed Talia, who had originally seen no hope, to finally find the crucial goal.

But Talia didn't expect that Lanci would go beyond that. He seemed to want to help the Duke's family reunite.

Let him continue investigating.

Maybe if I just enjoy the comfortable life in Ikerite like this every day, which makes me feel like I am melting, my sister will be found by Lanqi.

"Tata, I will do my best to make this promise come true."

Seeing that Talia was unmoved, Lanqi added.

“…”

Hearing Lanqi's voice, Talia shifted her usually calm gaze.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with complex emotions of gratitude, confusion, emotion and resentment.

She thanks Ranchi for the good thing he did for her.

But at the same time, I don't want to get entangled in too many grudges with a human being.

Finally, Talia gradually calmed her mind.

"Let's go."

Talia stood up and said.

"Is it really not possible?..."

Hyperion, who had been nervously waiting for Miss Tata's reply, seemed to be deflated.

Sure enough, letting a demon live in the house was too much to ask, even for Lanqi's teacher.

"Go to school and get your change of clothes. You also need to buy some daily necessities and pillows and quilts. I only have one quilt here."

Talia walked to the door, took hold of the door handle and twisted it, speaking softly.

"Thank you... Miss Tata..."

Hyperion said dully.

Listening to Lanqi's description of Miss Tata, she always felt that Tata should be a very scary person, but she didn't expect her to be so gentle.

"……?"

Lanqi, who was already thinking about his next plan, was suddenly surprised and interrupted his thoughts.

His lips parted slightly as he looked at Talia's back.

Is that old female devil who has been single for hundreds of years and has personality problems so easy to talk to? She actually let Hyperion stay, and from what I heard, she was even prepared to give her half of the bed, and didn't let her sleep on the floor or the sofa!

As Lanqi thought about it, he took out the [Great Love Poet] card, frowned and took a look at it, to make sure that he was not being fooled by the fake Talia.

“…”

However, Talia seemed to have noticed something.

She turned back and stared at Lanci.

What was the meaning of this bastard taking out the [Great Love Poet] card and staring at it at this time? He looked innocent on the surface, but he was definitely thinking about something that he should have done a thousand times! One day, she would read this kid's mind.

Don't let her catch you! (End of this chapter)
