Upon hearing this news, Vanilla was taken aback.
Huh? Viktor's master went out again?
So she missed her master again?
Thinking back to the last time at Grand Knight Commander Gwen's wedding, it seemed that her master hadn't seen her.
At that time, Vanilla felt a little lost.
I thought I would definitely see my owner when I came back, but my owner went out again.
Moreover, it's in the far south, so I guess I won't be able to come back anytime soon.
In an instant, the vanilla drooped its ears and tail, losing its original vitality.
A hint of melancholy appeared on his face.
But the kitten girl's sadness was fleeting, and her happiness was equally fleeting, because Lia had already told her:
"But he said he saw you at the wedding that day."
"It's just that I can't greet you because I need to hide my identity."
Upon hearing this, Vanilla's eyes lit up again.
"Really? Really?"
Lia nodded, then continued:
"Also, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you'll be able to see him very soon."
"The premise is that you can stay away from the palace for a long time."
Vanilla was a little confused. What did this have to do with not returning to the palace?
But she nodded quickly, after all, it concerned whether she could see her master.
"His Majesty did not give me a deadline; I am free to choose when to return!"
Lia listened to these words and pondered the Empress's meaning for a moment.
So does that mean we don't need to go back if we can't find Viktor?
It seems even Her Majesty the Queen is starting to lose her composure.
That's true. After all, if there's really hope, who would be willing to give up?
Even she, hasn't she been living like this for the past ten years?
So Lia nodded and said to Vanilla with satisfaction:
"Then pack your things and come with me to the Kingdom of Kant in a bit."
"Okay, Miss Liya...meow?"
Vanilla was taken aback, seemingly not having heard Liya's words clearly, her wide eyes revealing a layer of doubt.
How did meeting the master suddenly bring up the kingdom again?
Wouldn't that mean getting further and further away from the owner?
She only remembered visiting the kingdom once, ten years ago.
At that time, the current Empress was still an imperial princess.
She accompanied Aurelion on that journey as her maid, and only later became the Queen's personal maid.
Although she couldn't understand the purpose of the upcoming trip, she believed that Leah would answer her questions.
“Our family has territory in the kingdom, but the situation there has been unstable for the past ten years.”
After all, Victor was dead, and the kingdom's nobles had never been happy to see the territory of Shulburn still under Victor's name.
However, ten years ago, the reason given was that Earl Laureen's original heir, Priscilla, had not yet grown up.
The matter was suppressed by the Duke of Barlow and the local Church of Abundance.
Just six months ago, Lia officially took over as head of the Clavenna family, and the kingdom couldn't sit still any longer.
"They want to use the fact that Priscilla is now an adult to force her to inherit the territory back."
"But everyone knows that Priscilla is a vampire."
As Lia spoke, she skillfully trimmed the tips of her nails with a nail file.
"If these guys succeed, they will do everything they can to drive Priscilla, who is a vampire, out."
"By then, although Shulbon will still be Prihis's territory in name only, the profits that the territory can produce will have already been devoured by others."
There's no way around it, because vampires can't truly integrate into human society.
To put it bluntly, Priscilla's existence was inherently difficult for public opinion to accept.
No matter how popular she is, such suspicions and friction will always exist.
The nobles did not seize Priscilla's territory; they simply did what human beings should do.
Expel the vampires.
The territory still belongs to Priscilla, even though its interior has been hollowed out.
This reasonable approach left Grand Duke Barlow speechless, and the Church of Abundance naturally couldn't say anything either.
After all, it's reasonable and legal.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Zilan felt a surge of anger rising within her, a surge of fury flowing from her limbs to her heart.
Her hands clenched slightly, and her body trembled slightly.
She had also met that pitiful vampire girl and knew that the girl's background was extremely tragic.
As a result, the nobles still didn't want to let her go.
“Where there is profit, there is value. Even if she herself is innocent, holding onto a territory that can accommodate a million people is a serious crime.”
As Lia spoke, she looked at her perfectly honed fingers, gazing with satisfaction at the shimmering reflection they produced.
However, the smile on her face made Vanilla feel a little cold.
"But that is, after all, our family's territory."
"We can choose not to accept it, but they can't be so shameless."
Lia looked at her palm, then gently clenched it, as if she were pinching dust that was rising through the light.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Zilan, who was leaning against the handrail, immediately understood.
She calmed her anger slightly, nodded seriously, and prepared to get up.
"I'll go and inform Lady Leon right away!"
"Hey, why are you calling her?"
"ah?"
Lia's words made Vanilla, who was about to get up, freeze in place.
She turned around, her clear eyes filled with deep confusion.
Lady Leon was one of the first subordinates to follow Miss Lia.
In the eyes of this catgirl maid, wherever Miss Lia is, Lord Leon is always by her side.
