"leopard?"
Charles was still a little shocked when he saw clearly that it was a leopard and not a cat.
It is common to keep cats, but it is rare to keep leopards.
"The Panther King, Grimmjow, can transform into a human."
Nodding, Xingyan introduced the little leopard that was already lying on his shoulder in more detail.
"Transform into a human?!"
Etiquette could not be maintained, and Ciel covered his mouth in shock, the eye without the eyepatch widened as he stared at Grimmjow again and again.
He seemed to understand a little, but didn't know how to say it.
But no matter how he observed, this duke didn't seem to be carrying any grudges, so how could he be the one who summoned the devil...
"Tsk! What a fuss!"
...
...
Grimmjow rolled his eyes, showing some disgust at Ciel's surprise.
He clearly brought a non-human with him, so how could he still be shocked to hear such news?
It's so fake!
"Talking Cat..."
Ciel blinked, then stared at Grimmjow again, unable to look away.
He was really surprised that the cat could speak human language.
Beside him, Sebastian had clenched his fingers nervously.
Dark red eyes looked towards Grimmjow with inquiry, curiosity, and a bit of strange... anticipation?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not a cat!"
Grimmjow turned into a kitten just to play with Xingyan, but now he was being stared at by others as if he were a cute cat, and he instantly felt unhappy.
The blue figure instantly transformed into a human form. He didn't care about European etiquette and reached out to pick up Xingyan.
The same height, but a more powerful aura, directly interrupted Sebastian's expectations of the cat family.
"I can really become a human..."
Ciel was still immersed in the surprise of seeing a cat transform into a human with his own eyes.
He looked up at Grimmjow, who was wearing a white slim casual outfit, then looked at Xingyan who was hugged, and suddenly felt like laughing.
The young Duke seemed to be in a calm state just now, but after being picked up, the Duke immediately returned to the state he should be at this age, smiling very cutely.
Moreover, he had an idea that was very disrespectful to His Excellency the Duke, which was...
At this time, His Excellency the Duke seemed to be in a cowardly state.
"Grimmjow, be more careful next time!"
Muramasa came over from the other side of the road, gave them a lecture, and then carried Xingyan over.
This guy was asked to be a human, but he insisted on turning into a cat. Now he is changing from a cat to a human in front of people. This is really ridiculous.
However, seeing that the master is quite happy, I will just keep this as an account and teach him a lesson together next time he commits the same mistake.
"You're the housekeeper, so you're amazing. I won't pay attention to it, humph!"
Grimmjow glared at Muramasa in dissatisfaction as his master, whom he had just hugged for a while, was snatched away.
"My apologies. There is a disobedient child in the house. Muramasa, put the master down and take Grimmjow with you. Go back and study dinner."
Huanwu suddenly appeared, gave Ciel and Sebastian an apologetic smile, then grabbed Grimmjow by the collar and asked Muramasa to put Xingyan down, and then took the two troublemakers away.
“They usually prefer to play...”
Xingyan stood on the ground and continued walking forward with a smile.
As expected, there were bound to be some violent incidents in his family before tonight.
Poor Grimmjow, if you are injured, remember to come back quickly. He will be ready to heal the Leopard King.
"We have a very good relationship..."
Ciel praised the friendship between them against his will, it didn't feel like a game at all...
However, due to Grimmjow's appearance and playfulness, he suddenly relaxed and lost his previous strictness.
"There's a fish pond they just dug over there. Does Count Phantomhive know how to fish?"
Xing Yan, who was used to getting along with others casually, really couldn't enjoy the etiquette here in Europe.
He had given himself a higher status so as not to have to be polite to others, but not so that everyone would feel too restrained in front of him.
"I have tried it. If His Excellency the Duke wants to go fishing, I am looking forward to it."
Charles responded with a smile. Although he still used the proper respectful titles, he was already in a very relaxed state.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the newly dug fish pond. Xingyan waved for someone to bring a fishing rod. Then he sat down on a chair, swung the rod skillfully, and waited quietly.
Charles next to him was a little flustered, but he finally got into the state of fishing without making any mistakes.
After waiting for a long time, no fish was caught and Charles had already fallen asleep leaning back in the chair.
"terribly sorry..."
Sebastian didn't expect that Ciel would fall asleep at this time. After apologizing, he wanted to reach out to wake Ciel up, but he saw Xingyan shaking his head.
"Let him sleep. He probably hasn't had a good rest for a long time."
Xingyan let go of the fishing rod in his hand and asked the demon working nearby to come and take it away. Then he sat by the fish pond, staring at the water in a daze.
This fish pond was just dug, so there are no fish for them to fish.
He just saw that Charles' condition was too fragile, so he wanted to let the protagonist of this world have a good rest.
"Your Excellency the Duke, you..."
Sebastian wanted to ask something, but just as he opened his mouth, he heard the sound of a piano.
It was on a nearby tree, where two demons with butterfly wings spread out were taking out violins and playing gentle music.
This song, with its soul-soothing meaning, was prepared for Charles.
"What do you want to ask?"
Xingyan lay in the chair, not looking at Sebastian, continuing to look at the lake, and then asked him about the topic that had just been interrupted.
"The Duke's servants all seem to come from the same place as me."
Sebastian didn't ask, but directly talked about his own identity.
The colleague also expressed his curiosity as to why so many demons appeared in the Duke's manor.
"Well, I heard that you demons are very good at what you do and generally don't make mistakes. Compared to humans who will cause trouble and sell out information, I prefer to find a group of honest and obedient demons to work for me. Is there any problem?"
Xingyan smiled, he knew Sebastian wouldn't be able to resist his curiosity.
They say curiosity kills the cat, and the same is true for the crow.
"Summoning demons comes at a price..."
Sebastian was now basically certain that the young duke had no ill will towards them.
In that case, he could ask more questions.
"Sebastian, actually, there is one thing that I am very curious about. You are demons, why do you rely on contracts to obtain food? What will happen if you take it directly?"
Xingyan turned his head this time and looked at Sebastian seriously.
He has been curious about this question ever since he received the plot of this world.
Demons can only get a soul as food after working hard, and there is a possibility that they cannot even eat it...
This kind of behavior is too un-devilish!
So, what is it that binds them and forces the demons to abide by such rules?
