Wrapping his body with his tail, Lu Li sat and waited until midnight to confirm that Claire would not come back. Feeling sleepy, he curled up at the end of the bed and fell asleep.
Lu Li had a dream. He could no longer recall the details. He only remembered that the dream was colorful and familiar faces surrounded him.
The cat's ears trembled slightly due to the breeze, and Lu Li slowly woke up in the dark and cold bedroom.
The bandaged face was so close that he could feel the head maid looking at him without blinking.
Lu Li confirmed that he was not talking in his sleep.
"Good morning, Remi."
The head maid who woke up earlier and stared at Lu Li's sleeping face gently stroked the curled up cat body: "Are you cold?"
Recalling that "Remi" did like to be close to hot things in her memory, the head maid controlled the breeze to ring the wind chime, and waited until the lizard maid appeared outside the door to let them prepare the heater.
The head maid changed out of her pajamas and washed up under the service of the maid. When she was about to let the lizard maid also serve "Remy", Lu Li raised his front paws and pretended to lick her, giving up her idea.
Early morning on the surface is like late night.
The heater brought by the lizard maid made the bedroom not so bad. Lu Li followed the head maid to the terrace, took off the bandage on his face, and enjoyed the prepared breakfast, which was too much for Lu Li to swallow.
Lu Li's breakfast consisted of a single cream pastry. However, the head maid's gaze prevented him from opening his mouth to eat as carefully as humans to avoid contamination with cream. Also, he was not yet hungry, so he jumped up on the guardrail and looked around the manor.
Includes window sill.
Yesterday, his agreement with Claire was to leave feathers on the window sill. At this time, there was nothing there, which meant that Claire did not come back last night.
There was no news or movement from the castle. Claire probably hadn't succeeded yet, or her whereabouts had been exposed and everyone who saw her had been killed.
The probability of the latter is low, but not impossible.
There was a sound of putting down the knife and fork behind him, and then Lu Li was lifted up by the wind and fell into the arms of the head maid.
"I'm going to the castle to report. Remi, please stay at home and don't leave the manor. The hateful humans are attacking us..."

The head maid carried Lu Li back to the bedroom. When the lizard maid who was cleaning the table closed the door and left, she moved the mirror on the dressing table.
A secret door opened in the corner wall, revealing a dark secret room.
"Only I know this secret room. No one will find it here. If they come... you just hide in and wait for me. Remember?"
"Meow~"
The head maid put Lu Li down and asked the lizard maids to add decorations to the maid clothes, and to make sure that Lu Li didn't wear them.
"Remi, just be patient." After patting Lu Li on the head, the head maid left the manor from the terrace.
The bedroom returns to tranquility.
Lu Li, who was sitting on the bed, waited quietly for a moment to confirm that the head maid would not come back. Then he came to the pillow, put his tail into the pillow, and pushed out the head maid's diary.
The diary contains no record of when the maid was once a human, and there are not many useful clues. "Remy" appears with alarming frequency, as if it is the only thing she remembers.
Next is the Viscount in the castle. The head maid has some feelings of gratitude and admiration for him.
[I found Lemi, she is still the same as before. She must have suffered a lot to find me and is dirty, but we will not be separated again]
Mao's pupils scanned the latest content from last night, and Lu Li pushed the notes back under his pillow.
It fell lightly and silently onto the carpet. Lu Li first went to the pile of drawing boards in the corner to observe Remi's portrait. It was indeed similar to what Lu Li had imagined. Then he jumped on the dressing table, opened the drawer and checked the rolls of bandages.
They're just regular bandages.

After a while, the terrace door opened a gap, and Lu Li, who had retracted his tail, got out of the door, jumped up on the guardrail and briefly looked at the dark garden, jumped along the window sill to the high wall, and ran to the woodshed in the distance to avoid the patrolling lizard maids.
The dust on the floor was stirred up by the uninvited guests.
The woodshed remained in the same condition as when they left it, with no one paying attention.
Lu Li took out an eyeball hidden behind a pile of wood and summoned the merchant Anthony to appear.
"Is the parchment awake?"
"No."
Merchant Anthony took out the parchment, but at this moment, Will Ken's faint whisper sounded in Lu Li's ears.
"With that gold coin...I feel...a connection...from afar...with you...with that..."
The old voice gradually became inaudible.
After confirming that Will Ken was silent again, Lu Li asked the businessman Anthony to take out the gold coin of the Goodmerlin Emperor, which was valuable for collection, and also brought an eyeball as a spare. He cleaned up the traces of the woodshed and returned to the manor with the gold coin and the eyeball rolled in his tail.
A few minutes later, Lu Li jumped back to the terrace.
He hid his eyes under the eaves of the terrace, and hid the gold coins behind the drawing board in his bedroom. He then quietly waited for news from Claire, and thought about some random speculations due to connections, such as Claire's bandage maid, and by extension the head maid and Claire.
Never appear at the same time.
After waiting for a moment, the sound of flapping wings came from the terrace.
An iris landed on the terrace, tilting its head towards the dazed black cat next to it.
"Lu Li?"
Claire called several times but received no response. She jumped close to the black cat and raised her wings to touch it. "Lu Li" immediately fell backwards.
Claire was so frightened that she blew up the feathers of the bird, spread her wings and flew up.
"What are you doing."
A familiar calm whisper sounded, and Lu Li stepped out from behind the closed terrace door.
"I thought you were turned into a cartoon." The frightened Claire fell back to the ground and complained to Lu Li: "The effect of the potion is so good. Now I can see things as blurry as a bird..."
For example, after complaining, Claire lowered her head like a bird to preen her beautiful feathers, and then discovered the pastries on the terrace table.
"I'm working hard to infiltrate the castle and you're enjoying pastries here?"
"Every morning the lords will go to the castle to report their duties." Lu Li said, jumping up on the guardrail, his tail pointing like an arrow at the eaves: "I hide the merchant's eyes there."
"It seems that you have done something, little Remi~" Claire flew to the terrace table and approached the plate of pastries that Lu Li had not yet started: "I know, so I took this opportunity to come find you."
"Didn't you go in?"
Lu Li moved his limbs and approached Claire along the guardrail.
"It's out. Some good news, some bad news."
"What are they?"
"Chirp"
Claire suddenly jumped up and flew into the sky.
Lu Li realized something and rushed to the dining table, pretending to be attracted by the iris bird.
The breeze blew through the soft hair, and Lu Li heard the head maid's voice: "Remi, do you like it? I can let him stay with you."
Claire also heard it. When she was about to leave, she changed her mind and flew down to the courtyard wall, tilting her head and staring at Lu Li provocatively.
"Meow~"
"Of course Remi, sister will catch him."
The head maid could have let the wind bring the iris. But she wanted to show off to "Remy" and secretly used the wind to imprison Claire, landing next to Claire and catching her.
