"So, Thales Bright Star," Miranda spoke again, this time, she was extremely serious, "Do you want me to be your queen?"

Thales paused again.

Damn it.

Thales sighed. He no longer looked as majestic as before, and could only show a helpless smile: "You have asked this question before."

"I don't," Miranda said coldly, "They are different problems."

Thales' smile disappeared.

It seems that at this moment, everything is different.

"What part is different?"

Thales leaned back and sat on the desk: "Is it 'mine' or 'queen'?"

Miranda looked at him for a while, then shook her head lightly.

"It's a pity. If your marriage is true, it can solve many problems, from jurisdiction to inheritance."

Thales was silent after hearing this.

Can solve many problems...

The key is, what is the problem?

"You don't want to sit there."

Thales looked at Miranda who was leaning on the window sill and said dullly:

"When the sun is at its most intense, several cats are used to going outside my study window to enjoy the cool air. The food and water in those bowls are prepared to feed them, lest they take advantage of it and enter the house."

cat?

Miranda frowned, and sure enough she saw several bowls placed by the window.

Thales crossed his arms and sighed: "If they find that the old place is occupied, they, especially the cunning old black cat, will be unhappy, and then they will start to give me a headache."

Miranda was silent for a while.

"It doesn't matter, that's why I carry a sword."

Thales frowned and said:

"Sword? Well, isn't this a bit too cruel?"

"Will it be more cruel than the difficulties you encountered at the royal banquet?"

"Forehead……"

"What's wrong?"

Thales took a deep breath and said seriously:

"Well, Ms. Allender, what I just said was not a political metaphor, but a literal statement that cats really should come here!"

Miranda was immediately stunned.

After this episode, the two people, each with their own concerns, fell into silence again.

Until Miranda spoke again:

"By the way, I went to Sunset Temple a while ago and met Aunt Li Xiya."

"Li Xi who?"

Miranda ignored Thales:

"There are also priests Megan present. For your sake, they have some things that are inconvenient to say to the prince directly, so they asked me to bring them over."

Megan Priest…

Something to say to the prince...

Thales was shocked.

"I'm writing, I'm really writing!"

The prince subconsciously pointed to the theology course copybook on the table: "Tell her she can hand it in tomorrow!"

"Not that!" Miranda gave him a look of disdain.

She said seriously:

"Priest Megan said that the inventory period inside the temple is coming soon. If you can be considerate to Sister Nia and don't want her to rummage through the cabinet every day, please return the three books stolen from the restricted book area quickly."

Um?

Restricted book area, stolen, stolen...

Thales, who was originally relieved, had a smile on his face.

"One is "Gonghai City Enlightenment Collection", and "Hidden Exorcism Record", and the last one is..."

Miranda took out a note:

""Top Secret Notes of the Grand Priest Petruzzelli", wait a minute, Petruzzelli, is he the Grand Priest of the Sunset during the era of King Ascendant? The one who presided over the killing of sons to worship gods."

"Thank you!"

Thales snatched the note and forced a smile:

"I know now!"

Miranda pouted.

"Aunt Li Xiya also said that if you want to borrow some books next time, you don't have to be a thief. You can just say so. Don't worry, she won't tell your father."

Thales felt as if his face was burning.

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Until Miranda spoke to break the silence.

"I heard from Huaiya that you are going to the south for inspection?"

"Which Huaiya? You mean that Huaiya?" Thales nodded and sighed slightly, "Yes, it's obvious that everyone is busy working on this."

"Since even someone like me, who is known to be 'not suitable for living and not suitable for home', has received it... I guess that many lords in the south have also received your 'Not suitable for breeding'?"

Many lords in the south...

Thales looked like he had eaten a fly.

"About this, it's hard to disobey your father's orders." He said sarcastically.

"And your fate cannot be changed." Miranda's voice was cold, which made Thales's heart tremble.

What on earth did she want to say?

Thales said seriously:

"Look, Miranda, I'm sorry, it's Ms. Arend. I'm grateful that you came to see me, and I'm sorry that my affairs have caused you any inconvenience, but if nothing else..."

"That's enough, I don't want to talk in circles with you anymore."

Miranda interrupted him bluntly, and her next words stunned Thales:

"I'm here to help you."

"Help, help me? Please forgive me, I don't understand very well."

Miranda glanced at him, and with just one glance, she seemed to understand everything.

But it made Thales uneasy.

"Stop pretending, you are definitely not going to the south for a blind date," the female swordsman said firmly, "According to your habits, wherever you go, there will be no peace in the royal capital, fortress, Longxiao City, or in the Western Wilderness."

ah?

Thales was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly picked up his chair: "Star Lake Castle is very peaceful."

Only a few mice died.

At most two more chairs can be added.

But Miranda ignored him:

"And no matter what you want to do that is not easy to say, you need trustworthy and capable people, preferably acquaintances who have worked together before, or even experienced life and death together."

"So, I will go with you on this journey."

An inconvenient thing to talk about...

Damn it, what does she know?

At that moment, Thales and Miranda's eyes met.

"Since you don't like to talk in circles, Miss Arend," Thales said doubtfully, "I know that our experience in Longxiao City was unforgettable, but it seems that our friendship is not good enough to help each other thousands of miles away?"

Miranda did not answer immediately, but stared at him closely. Her eyes were different from others, calm, cold, sharp, and with a hint of alienation.

By the way, the Duke suddenly remembered that although the girl in front of him belonged to the stars, Arund was from the North. Many times, Thales couldn't help but forget this, and regarded her more as a typical "imperial guy".
