Vanilla stood to the side, puffed up with dissatisfaction, her cheeks swelling into two soft little mounds.
Her face looked like a steamed bun with a pair of cat ears sticking out, and she stared at the man in front of her with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Despite clearly showing anger, this expression of dissatisfaction only made it seem exceptionally cute.
Seeing this, Liya couldn't help but laugh so hard that the rocking chair she was sitting in swayed gently.
"No, Victor."
"How can you really treat her like a cat?"
People often like to put their hands under their pets' armpits and pick them up.
It not only allows you to control their limbs, but it's also a way of showing affection.
The problem is that vanilla is a demi-human, not a real cat.
Although she retained some cat-like traits, she was more like a human with cat ears and a tail.
Otherwise, the Marquis of Sancher's son would not have fallen in love with a demi-human and remained in love with her for ten years.
"It's been ten years since I last saw her, and she seems to have grown up quite a bit."
"Let's also take a look at her weight."
The man spoke in his usual calm voice, which made Xiang Zilan feel both ashamed and angry.
Weigh her; does she look heavy?
No, that's not the point!
Ten years have passed, and Vanilla herself feels that she has grown a lot, and the parts that should have grown bigger have grown bigger.
Why does it seem like the owner is still treating her like a child?
That's why, when Vanilla saw Viktor return, she was somewhat excited.
However, in order to maintain a mature demeanor, he managed to suppress his emotions quite well.
She didn't rush directly into Viktor's arms.
After all, she's a cat, not a dog.
A cat should not show excessive excitement when it sees its owner.
She needs to make her owner realize that she has grown up.
However, Victor didn't seem to care much about Vanilla's anger.
He merely lifted his eyes, hidden beneath his hood, and those deep, obsidian-like eyes swept over Lia, asking softly:
"Have you encountered any trouble lately?"
Despite his calm tone, Lia could sense Victor's concern.
A warm feeling welled up inside me, as if I were basking in the warm spring sunshine.
Having already been completely honest with each other, Lia naturally had nothing to be coy about, so she spoke her mind directly.
He looked at Viktor with a smile on his face, but with a hint of aggression in his eyes.
"I haven't encountered any troubles, but I do miss you a bit."
After he said that, Viktor didn't react much.
But the onlooker, Xiang Zilan, looked astonished and confused.
She completely forgot the embarrassment and anger of a few seconds earlier, and her inner questions surged like a turbulent sea.
ah?
Is this really something Miss Lia would say?
Vanilla believed she understood Miss Lia's personality fairly well; the other woman wasn't the type to express her feelings directly.
Um, what was that personality trait called again? What was it like to be tsundere?
Vanilla fell silent, looking at Miss Lia, whose eyes were full of gentleness.
Is ten years enough for a person to change so much?
Viktor's answer then left her even more confused.
"...I've been a bit tired lately, and I'd like to take a few days off."
? ? ?
Vanilla scratched her head, feeling that she hadn't quite understood what Victor's master was saying.
Miss Lia said she missed him. What does that have to do with him wanting to take a few days off?
What's wrong with these two? Why are they talking so mysteriously now?
And judging from what she said, Miss Lia seemed a little angry.
Oh no, could she really not have grown up?
It seems she still has a lot to learn.
At this moment, Lia sighed and gracefully stood up from the rocking chair.
She slowly walked toward Victor until the two were almost touching.
She gently tapped Victor's chest twice with her finger.
His earnest gaze pierced through his chest, as if trying to see into his heart.
"Um……"
After a moment of contemplation, Lia looked up at Victor's face hidden beneath his hood and said softly:
"Just now, a marquis from the kingdom came to visit."
He said…
Before she could finish speaking, Victor interrupted her with his calm voice.
"I know."
This unexpected answer sparked a hint of amusement in Lia's eyes.
She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile:
"oh?"
"Looks like you've been eavesdropping quite a bit. Well..."
Lia gently circled her fingers around Victor's chest, tracing the outline of his pectoral muscles.
A tingling sensation shot through Viktor's skin and into his heart, but his expression remained perfectly calm.
"Were you very angry when you heard half of it?"
Angry? Angry about what?
Does this mean that these nobles want to take away Shur's territory?
To be fair, Vanilla was also very angry when she saw the marquis arrive.
After all, Shul originally belonged to Victor's master, but the kingdom's nobles wanted to seize that territory.
Clearly, they dared to do this because they believed Victor's master was not present.
Immediately afterward, Vanilla, who was standing to the side, heard Viktor's answer and immediately realized that her guess was correct.
"To be honest, there are some."
Viktor also knew that this was ultimately related to possessiveness, and he couldn't control it very well.
If he were truly unmoved by the Marquis of Sancher's words at the time, even Victor himself would have doubts.
