Chapter 807: Master-Servant Declaration
Chapter 807: Master-Servant Declaration
Damn... I seem to be locked on already...
After returning to the Cat Club with Leon and the others, True God Princess Kateline, now in her catgirl form, climbed onto her personal sofa with a sigh and slumped into the soft cushion, looking utterly defeated.
She had initially thought that without wearing that cursed hat, there was a good chance of escaping the Butcher King Society's lock. But upon seeing the God of Food, she immediately lost control of her body and started "performing."
This proved that whether or not she wore the Sleepy Tale hat, she had already been locked by the Sleepy Tale, and even her previous actions were likely all part of the Sleepy Tale's predetermined plot.
Upon careful reflection, she realized that her means of contacting the God of Food might also be within the rules of the Sleepy Tale. It was her invitation as the "evil witch" that lured the "evil prince" who coveted the Maiden Nation.
As expected, the upcoming plot would likely involve her and the ambitious Lionheart Prince formulating a plan to impersonate Princess Kateline and seize control of the Maiden Nation.
Then, as always, good would triumph over evil. The scheming villains would get their comeuppance, and the kind-hearted people would live happily ever after...
How infuriating!
The thought of that imposter wearing her face and assuming her identity made the Cat Club President, now in her catgirl form, seethe with anger. She furiously scratched at the sofa beneath her.
Why was she, the one who opposed the Butcher King Society's villains, being portrayed as the villain in this damn story?... Hmm... What's he doing?
Noticing that Leon, upon entering the second-hand broom shop, didn't rush to communicate the situation but instead started rummaging through things, the catgirl on the sofa chair blinked and resumed her human form.
"What are you looking for?"
"Heh."
Leon turned around, glanced at the cat-eared girl on the sofa chair, and stopped his rummaging. With a smug expression, he said,
"I'm just surprised that a powerful witch daring enough to target the High Witch Court's daughter would live in such a shabby place, without even a decent piece of paper."
"..."
The Cat Club President's ears twitched at Leon's sudden sarcastic remark, leaving her momentarily speechless.
Ever since their successful reunion outside the Inner Courtyard, it seemed that upon reaching a certain story node, the Sleepy Tale's control over these "characters" intensified.
As the constraint grew stronger, their actions and words became more strictly regulated. Every time they attempted to act against their "character settings," they felt an intense sense of crisis.
Moreover, the words that the "evil prince" and "evil witch" shouldn't utter were completely blocked, making communication nearly impossible.
Therefore, despite gaining an ally, the rules of the Sleepy Tale restricted her from any "out-of-character" communication with him, not even sharing known information...
"Hmph!"
Seeing that Princess Kateline was ignoring him, Leon, worried that letting the young master retrieve items from the Mirror World would prematurely reveal that he could still use some anomalies, spoke up again, hinting:
"Witch! Are you so broke that you can't even afford paper and pen?"
"Oh, so you want paper and pen. Are you trying to communicate with me through writing?" After deciphering the arrogant tone in Leon's words, the cat-eared woman shook her head slightly, then replied with a charming smile.
"Your Highness, the issue we're facing right now is not something that can be solved with just paper and pen."
Paper and pen can't solve it? Does that mean not only can they not communicate verbally, but even written words won't work?
After glancing at the "Evil Witch," who was smiling in a flirtatious manner, clearly quite promiscuous, Leon furrowed his brows in thought. He then waved his hand impatiently and raised his eyebrows suggestively.
It's no use; aside from language and writing, even eye contact, gestures, and secret signals won't work.
The cat-eared woman shook her head slightly at Leon, indicating that all these methods of communication were ineffective and couldn't free them from the restrictions of the Sleepy Tale. She couldn't help but sigh in exasperation.
The constraints of the Sleepy Tale were far stricter than she had imagined. It seemed that the only thing she could communicate to him was how to kidnap the imposter "Princess Kateline" who had taken her identity and express her hatred for the lineage of the Grand Sorcerer.
Although the God of Food was much stronger than her and occasionally seemed to act out of character, he was still bound by the Sleepy Tale and faced significant restrictions.
What should I do...? Although they had found an ally, they couldn't even speak to each other, so it was as if they hadn't joined forces at all. Realizing that there was no way to communicate, Leon brought over a chair and sat down across from the cat-eared woman, frowning as they both struggled to find a solution.
However, after staring at her cat ears for a while, Leon suddenly seemed to have an idea. He raised his hand and slammed his thigh, then said with disgust:
"Witch, you're so ugly!"
"???"
Caught off guard by Leon's sudden personal attack, the cat-eared woman looked up in disbelief, pointing at her face in disbelief.
What are you talking about...? When that imposter with my face goes out, don't you know how many people will rush to get a glimpse of my face? How dare you call me ugly!
"What I mean is, compared to your current appearance, I actually prefer your previous looks."
After expressing his embarrassment through his eyes, the evil Prince Leon raised his head and said:
"I have nothing to say to you in your current state. In my eyes, you're not even as pretty as a stray cat!"
"..."
You...
Although she knew this was an issue with the Sleepy Tale and the God of Food wasn't genuinely insulting her, the cat-eared woman still couldn't help but darken her face at Leon's outrageous words.
Suppressing the urge to retort, Princess Kateline pondered Leon's words. She then glared at him and transformed back into her cat form.
Seeing that she finally understood his intention, Leon heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly switched to the Master badge, walked over, picked up the reluctant black cat, and held her in his arms, stroking her vigorously. Then, with an air of arrogance, he declared:
"Remember, starting today, I'm your master!"
"???"
