When Arthur woke up again, it was already late at night. In the infirmary, Greenville was giving Arthur an intravenous drip.
"How are you? Are you still dizzy?" Greenville asked, her tone becoming as cold as water.
"Well..." Arthur hesitated and replied awkwardly.
"You are such a failure that you were plotted against like that." Greenville sneered.
"I'm afraid that guy has been lurking in the room using penetration magic. He is a master of assassination." Arthur thought, the Veritaserum injected before was still affecting his brain, making him unable to think normally.
"Stop it. You keep praising others just to cover up your own gaffe." Greenville's mouth criticized mercilessly.
Arthur chose to remain silent. He was too lazy to argue with the girl.
"That guy is [Shadow Dancer] Douglas, the one with the highest bounty among all the most vicious criminals." Persiva on the side interrupted at this time, "He is best at using penetration magic and disguise magic, which is very tricky."
In order to kill Arthur, the Parliament even hired such a criminal. What a dirty deal."
Arthur thought he had heard this name somewhere. But his mind was still confused and he could not recall anything correctly.
"In short, Dad asked Yaglovi and I to take turns guarding you 24 hours a day. We will never let the same thing happen again."
"Personal guard? You mean------"
"That's right, when you take a shower, when you go to the toilet, when you change clothes, and when you sleep, we will stay by your side every step of the way." Pasiva said with a serious face.
"...Are you kidding me!?" Arthur hid his face and made a sad expression.
"Pfft... you deserve it!" Greenville snickered on the side.
The morning of the next day, there were only three days left before the agreed date for the King's Sword to be repaired.
The leopard man Paramedis got up and looked at the surrounding environment.
He was in a...beautiful tropical rainforest.
He looked around, and the lush green color immediately came into view.
The sun shines on the woods, and the mottled tree shadows fall on the leopard man. Wild birds chirp in the forest, insects fly by from time to time, and the gurgling stream reflects the sparkling light in the sun.
What a beautiful piece of nature. But ------
"This is ------?" Leopard Man was confused. He should be in Vivian's research institute, right?
"Oh, you're awake?" Vivian appeared out of thin air from the forest. She looked around, "What's going on? ---Those two naughty kittens are messing with my projection device again.
?"
She fiddled with something in the air. The tropical rain forest in front of Palamedes immediately disappeared and turned back into the original medical room filled with a metallic atmosphere.
"Oh, is this an illusion created by magic?" The leopard man felt relieved and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Maybe it's to give you a surprise. I didn't know it would be dangerous to mess around like this. What if it hits the wall or the corner of the table?" Vivian scolded.
Although the holographic scene projected by magic can be real, the illusion is just an illusion after all. Palamedes is still in the original small infirmary. If he saw the beautiful nature and ran excitedly, it would be inevitable.
To run headlong into an invisible wall.
The two leopard men probably wanted to tease their father with this. They were really naughty.
The golem behind Vivian brought breakfast and placed it in front of the leopard man. "Eat," Vivian said, "You have been recuperating for so many days and you can eat some solid food."
Palamedes subconsciously touched his abdomen and could no longer feel the pain in his internal organs.
Vivian is not only busy recasting the King's Sword these days, but she also has to find time to use magic to treat Palamedes... and she also has to take care of two kittens------it's really hard work for her.
Already.
"I still have a lot of things to do. You can walk around the institute and visit. However, there are some dangerous experimental animals sealed in the restricted area. You'd better not get close." Vivian turned around and left after saying that.
.
"Wait, uh------" The Leopard Man was about to call Vivian, but she was already gone.
"Thank you..." Leopard Man still muttered in a low voice.
Just as the golem followed Vivian out, the room changed again. This was the living room of Arthur's farmhouse.
"Hehehehe." A thin chuckle sounded outside the door.
The leopard man bit the bread and drank the milk nonchalantly, "Sefir, Seglade? Stop playing around and change back."
Two leopard boy boys poked their heads out of the door and looked at their father, "Isn't this good? Then change meow."
"Whoosh." The scenery in the room immediately changed, this time it was a lush green wilderness.
"It's so annoying! I can't even find where the table is!" The Leopard Man soldier reached out to fumble and knocked over the milk on the table with one hand, splashing it all over himself.
"Hey." Seifer pressed the remote control of the holographic image, and the surrounding scene turned into the top of the snow-capped mountains again.
"Wow." Before the Leopard Warrior had time to wipe the milk off his body, he was immediately frightened by the empty sight under his feet. Although he knew it was an illusion, there was only a small foothold under his feet, and it seemed that he would fall off the cliff at any time.
Go down (actually he is afraid of heights).
"Have you had enough fun?! Put it away quickly!" Leopard Man said angrily.
"Meow meow!" Seglade was startled and pressed a button on the remote control by mistake.
The scene transformed into a dilapidated mud house. The home of Palamedes.
A leopard woman stood in front of the kitchen, humming a tune happily and making stew.
This is a scene projected based on the memory of the Leopard Man boy. The happy days in the past.
"Renaise..." Paramedes jumped up possessed and rushed over desperately, wanting to hug the woman.
Of course, he couldn't touch anything. The man passed through his body like air, leaving only the leopard man who staggered to the ground.
The woman's phantom has come to the table, put the stew on the table, and called her husband and son to come and eat. It looks so real, but it is just a phantom of the past.
The Leopard Man sat on the cold floor, looked at his wife's back, and shed tears.
"I'm sorry, daddy------" The two kittens also knew that they had gone too far, so they came over and snuggled up to the leopard man's side, and began to sob softly.
"It doesn't matter, come here------" The leopard man hugged his two sons, and the three of them cried together.
"The past is in the past. Don't think about it anymore. Just live better in the days to come." The Leopard Man comforted in a low voice. It was more about comforting himself than his sons.
.
It took about ten minutes before he saw the surrounding images recede and return to the original cold and metallic medical room.
"By the way, Dad, what do you think of Aunt Vivian?" Saifei wiped away her tears and asked suddenly.
"How, how is it? What [how]?" Palamedes was asked and was stunned for a while.
"That is to say, do you like her, meow?" Seglade also asked, "Do you want her to be our new mother, meow?"
The Leopard Warrior's face turned red for a moment, "What, what, what, what? What are you, what are you talking about, brat!"
"But, didn't Dad kiss Aunt Vivian, meow? It was like this---kiss------"
The two kittens were playing reenactment of the case, which made Palamedes' face turn purple: "Don't talk nonsense, I was just out of my mind at the time, so I did such a shameful thing."
"But you do like Aunt Vivian, right?" Saifei suddenly asked.
Palamedes was speechless for a while. Seeing the expectant looks in his two sons' eyes, he sighed: "A person like me is not young anymore and has accomplished nothing...and I have two sons with me..."
.I’m not handsome, and I’m not even human. How can someone like me be worthy of someone as noble as Miss Vivian------"
"Don't go off topic, dad, meow." Seifer asked, "What I'm asking you is, do you like Aunt Vivian, meow."
The leopard man didn't answer.
The two leopard men looked at each other and sighed: "Dad, you are such a useless guy."
"Anyway, a person like me, even if I pursue her, will definitely be rejected immediately." Palamedes said angrily. In his impression, Vivian, a black lady, always
It is so noble and inaccessible.
"That is to say, you are just afraid of being rejected, meow? That's easy to handle," Seglade said with a smile, "Let's find a way, meow."
"You two, please don't cause trouble, okay?" Leopard Man said hurriedly, "Miss Vivian is already very busy repairing the King's Sword. Don't get in her way."
"But, we really want a mother, meow." Saifei said with a bad smile, "The food cooked by dad is too terrible, but Aunt Vivian's cooking is more delicious. Meow. If dad asks her to cook it,
Wife, from now on we can always eat Aunt Vivian’s cooking."
(Can you think of anything else besides eating?)
"Yeah, that's it, meow." Saifei and his brother looked at each other and smiled. The two kittens didn't know what bad things they were planning, "Dad, just wait, meow. There is always a way to make things better for you and Aunt Vivian."
Get up, meow. Hehehehehehe------＂
The two kittens laughed, ran away, and suddenly disappeared.
Palamedes was helpless for a while. He originally wanted to chase the two kittens, but his body had not recovered yet and he did not dare to do strenuous exercise. These two boys couldn't do anything, right? The leopard man felt uneasy.
