Snape didn't know the reason for the change, but the surprise it brought was enough for him to ignore what prompted Catherine to grow up suddenly, and to ignore the old guy's survival.

To be honest, Snape had never really understood his maternal grandfather, and even before he became the heir to House Prince, he didn't know what the other man looked like, let alone met him.

The old guy didn't seem to want to get to know the blood grandson, and it wasn't until Snape became the head of Slytherin House that the old guy suddenly wrote to him asking him to inherit the Prince family.

Snape, who was already a double agent at the time, did need to increase his strength in order to protect himself, but he also knew that if he really inherited this Potions family, the pressure would become heavier and heavier, and the intrigues around him would become more and more complicated.

So Snape directly replied with a yelling letter, scolding the old guy from beginning to end, and venting his stress and resentment over the years, but the old guy still persevered in sending a letter a month, and he also replied with a yelling letter every time.

To be honest, Snape really didn't know how long he would have been able to hold on at that time without this outlet channel, but Lily's death still plunged him into despair, and unexpectedly, the old guy's monthly letters also stopped, as if he knew that he could not be disturbed.

In the next few years, the old guy didn't write to harass him, and it wasn't until the summer vacation when Snape really took control of Slytherin House that the old guy wrote again asking him to inherit the Prince family, only this time, it was a verbal message, and the messenger was Lucius.

For the next seven summers, Lucius would relay a message for the old fellow, but Snape paid no attention to it, and didn't even bother to reply to the yelling letter, until he decided not to miss the happiness that had already appeared around him.

So when Catherine went to Narcissa's afternoon tea party, Snape followed Lucius to Prince Manor. And when he recognized the dazzling array of potion materials inside and outside the manor, he immediately regretted that he had gone there so many years late.

But Lucius's attitude towards the old guy caused Snape to be alarmed, because the greedy patriarch of the Malfoy family actually found an excuse to leave as soon as he got paid, and now it seems that he must have sensed the unfathomable strength of the old fellow, so he did not dare to stay longer.

Therefore, after Snape got the inheritance necklace, he left Prince Manor directly, and fortunately, the inheritance method of the Prince family was to make potions. So he didn't have to set foot in that place that was so seductive to him.

And Snape took Catherine there this time, completely on a whim, without informing the old fellow in advance, but he didn't expect that he would actually force them to stay in the form of a closed manor, obviously from that moment on, he had intentions.

But what he was trying to do, Snape didn't know at all, and he had to wait for Catherine to wake up.

Catherine had slept for most of the day to regain her spirits, and Snape hadn't been awake for the first time. Eagerly asking him what happened when he was unconscious, he asked Dobby to get her some food to replenish her body.

Catherine ate quickly, then told the truth all about it, and did not wait for Snape to speak. She immediately took a stand.

"I don't want to go to Prince Manor again, at least while Old Mr. Prince is alive, I don't want to set foot there again."

"Why?" Snape asked, surprised.

"Mr. Prince, unlike Professor Dumbledore, is geographically restricted in that his status as a sage is geographically restricted. Perhaps because of this limitation, he had an unusually strong strength when he was at Prince Manor. ”

"If he hadn't underestimated me, I didn't expect that I would already have a fragment of the power of rules at the age of thirteen. And after I realized that something was wrong, I have been carefully arranging, otherwise this time, we would never have been able to leave so lightly. Catherine replied with trepidation.

Old Mr. Prince was the most cautious and heartfelt opponent she had ever seen, and Catherine did not find herself in a trap until he began to unfold her hole cards, and it was thanks to her habit of hiding her strength that she was able to break the trap.

But Catherine now thought about it carefully, but found that the trap laid by Mr. Prince seemed to be not simply only one layer, and when she smoothly lifted the first layer of trap, it seemed that she had fallen into the second layer of trap, but she could not figure out for a while what the purpose of this second layer of trap was.

"Professor, Mr. Prince's knees were really injured by 'Blade Without a Shadow'?" Catherine thought about it and decided to solve the simplest doubts first.

"To be precise, it's an improved version of 'Divine Blade'." Snape gritted his teeth and replied, "And the purpose of his improvement is only to make it impossible for me to dismantle." ”

His wife died in a potions accident at a young age, and she also lost her fertility in that accident, and as soon as her daughter graduated, she ran directly to the Muggle world to hide from herself, and finally found her whereabouts, but died before she could find her.

Catherine could imagine the pain and sorrow he felt when Old Mr. Prince learned from Voldemort that the culprit who had kept him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life was his only blood relative in the world, and it was entirely possible that he would have collapsed and disappeared silently, but in the end he became a sage.

Although he is a sage who is limited by geography, if he doesn't have a strong enough will, he is afraid that he will not even be able to live, but he is not only alive, but also lives an abnormal spirit, and even forced Catherine to flee, obviously he has a very strong motivation, and this motivation can obviously only be revenge.

If it was before Christmas, Catherine would have been unable to continue, but when she received Mrs. B's card at Christmas and got the memory fibers related to Voldemort in the large glass case, she had enough information to make herself aware of Mr. Prince's intentions.

Those memory fibers cover Tom. For most of Riddle's career, from his entry into the wizarding world to his disappearance, but most of all, it was when he joined the hunting club and changed his name to Voldemort that Riddle was personable, elegant, sharp-eyed, intelligent, and eloquent, able to gain the trust of others and persuade others to change their decisions.

And this is exactly what Catherine repeats every day today, and even some of her and Riddle's behavior habits, and even the way of thinking and doing things, are very similar, or it can be said that if Catherine is given a compound decoction and thrown into that environment at that time, then no one will doubt that she is not Tom. Riddle.

When she first found out, Catherine almost wanted to go crazy, and could only be distracted by looking around about the Black family business, and when the soul fragment in the locket began to mess up, she had to start thinking about various possibilities, and finally she came to the conclusion that her enlightenment teacher was Voldemort, because her resemblance to Riddle was cultivated before the age of five.

But when Catherine carefully rummaged through her memories, she was shocked to find that none of the people who often appeared around her before the age of five could be Voldemort, as if she was born with those, and only showed it when she needed to.

So when she found out that Dumbledore might be lying, and confirmed that he was indeed lying, Catherine was so angry that she suddenly wanted to leave her familiar Yiqiē, because she was really afraid to find out that she was actually a piece of Voldemort's soul, just losing all of Voldemort's memories, but fortunately, it turned out that she was indeed Harry's sister.

Although Catherine has not been able to sort out the complicated relationship between herself and Voldemort, she already knows very well that for those who are familiar with Voldemort, it is absolutely easy to find her resemblance to him, and it is because of this that Lucius was extremely interested in her in the first place, and Mr. Prince, who was bent on revenge, probably decided to forcibly keep her because of this.

"His goal is me." Catherine, who had thought clearly, was unusually reluctant to tell the truth, "From the moment he saw me, he was directed at me, he slowly weaved a net around me, careful not to let me find out, and patiently waited until the last minute to close the net. ”

"Not only did he want me to be the mother who gave birth to the next heir to the Prince family, he also made me a subject of study, and he wanted to find a way to deal with the Dark Lord from me."

Catherine shivered fiercely, and couldn't help but reach out and wrap her arms around her, and her body was huddled in the couch.

"I can't imagine what he's going to do to me once I'm really trapped by him."

Listening stupidly, Snape hurriedly took Catherine into his arms.

"Professor!" Catherine's body suddenly trembled violently, "I really don't dare to go to Prince Manor anymore!" ”

"He has become ruthless for revenge, and the most terrible thing is that he is not like the Dark Lord, the Dark Lord is crazy, but he doesn't, he still keeps his sanity. So, if I set foot in Prince Manor while he was alive, I would never be able to leave. ”

Catherine closed her eyes in horror and curled up in Snape's arms gasping for air.

Because she suddenly realized one thing, the reason why Old Mr. Prince was confined to Prince Manor was probably because what he had in his hands was not a fragment of the power of rules, but the power of rules after fusion.

And the only one who can have the power of rules is God.

Even if Old Mr. Prince does not have the slightest sign of becoming a god, even if he is stranded in the mortal world by revenge and his family, as long as he is a god, it is not something that mortals can deal with, not even a sage. (To be continued......)
