Chapter 495: A cousin I haven't heard of
Fleming looked at Luna for a moment, then smiled and nodded:
"I'll keep an eye out for you. ”
Looking at Fleming, who was smiling extraordinarily, Luna felt that this person probably had misunderstood something, but she didn't bother to explain, after all, some things can only be determined when she sees someone, and everything is difficult to say until she is sure.
The beast cart, bearing the coat of arms of Raphael's family, passed through the gate of the royal court unimpeded, and did not stop until it stopped in front of the castle gate.
Luna got out of the car and skipped past the guards and servants who were saluting, and took a surprised look at Howard standing at the door, and asked, "Uncle Howard, is this waiting for someone?"
Howard glanced at Luna, then at Fleming, who had gotten out of the car after her, and didn't answer, just turned around and walked towards the castle.
Luna looked at Howard's back and touched the tip of her nose, although the person was still the same person, she still had a cold wooden face, and she was lined with armor and was extremely serious, why did she always feel that when Howard looked at her just now, there was a deep resentment in her eyes?
"I'm dazzled, why do you always think Uncle Howard is weird?" Luna looked at Fleming, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
"You're not dazzled, I went back in the middle of the night yesterday, he's, well, probably didn't return all night. It's all stinky. Fleming patted Luna, who was looking at her bewildered face, and covered her nose with the other, and the disgust in her tone at the end was not too obvious.
Howard, who had already walked some distance, moved his ears slightly, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Fleming, and Luna instantly felt Fleming's hand on his shoulder tremble.
"Huh......" Luna couldn't help but crack open her mouth and laugh.
Although she didn't smell Howard's stench, she could smell a faint smell of blood belonging to the physician she had given to Altos yesterday.
However, this is not the point in Luna's opinion, thinking of the stickiness of Howard and Ivy in the past two seasons, Luna feels that she seems to understand where Howard's resentment comes from.
Tsk, male!
At the top of the stairs, Luna ignored the two male gazes and continued to climb the stairs with her head held high, until she reached the third floor.
"Ah, Your Highness is back!" a little maid hastily tugged at the hem of her skirt when she saw Luna, then turned and galloped away.
Luna smiled at the energetic little female, and the pace behind her involuntarily sped up a little.
"Your Highness, the Queen heard that you are back, and asked me to go to the kitchen and order you to cook something you like at noon. Before she could reach the turn that led to Olivia's study, Sophie greeted her with a gentle smile.
"Sure enough, it was the queen mother who loved me the most. The smile on Luna's face became even better when she heard this, and continued, "Susie is fine, you don't have to worry about her, it's just that I didn't take her with me in a hurry to come back this time." ”
"Susie follows His Highness, and I am not worried at all. Your Highness, go and see the Queen! Don't let her wait. ”
Sophie smiled even more in her dark eyes when she heard this, and she bent her knees at Luna and walked quickly downstairs.
When Sophie staggered past her, Luna lifted her skirt and ran towards Olivia's study.
She didn't knock on the door because someone had already reported it, but only entered the study, only to find that it was not only Olivia, but also a middle-aged female who looked slightly fat, as well as her cousin Ethan and a strange little female of her age.
Looking at Luna, who was obviously a little embarrassed standing in the doorway, Ethan smiled slightly, "Cousin is still so lively. ”
Luna wrinkled her nose at Ethan when she heard this, "Cousin is still so particular about what he says.
"Luna, come and meet your aunt Arlene and cousin Camilla. Olivia beckoned to Luna, smiling gently.
Luna was relieved when she heard this, and she said why she didn't remind Sophie when she met her before, it turned out to be her own family, but since it was her own family, Luna put aside the embarrassment caused by the faux pas, stepped forward, and generously opened her skirt to the middle-aged female and saluted, "Luna has seen the eldest aunt." ”
"Your Highness, hurry up. The middle-aged female leaned over and reached out to pull her up before Luna could fully bend her knees.
"Arlene, you can just call her Luna, it's all your own family, you don't have to be so polite. Olivia said with a smile on her face.
Luna nodded in agreement, and then her eyes fell on the obviously shy little female, although she had never heard of such a cousin, but in good faith, she winked at her and called with a grin, "Cousin." ”
"Cousin. The little female smiled coyly at Luna and then curtched her knees.
Looking at Camila as she curtsied, Luna was surprised to forget to stop her.
She followed the standard royal court etiquette, whether it was the amount of the skirt or the depth of the knee, it was just right, even Luna, who grew up in the royal court, sighed to herself.
"Why are you stunned?" Olivia saw her niece half-bent on her knees, but her daughter didn't move, and couldn't help but quietly raise her hand and push Luna.
Luna reacted at this time, and hurriedly reached out to pull Camilla up with some chagrin, and said, "Blame me, blame me, this suddenly got a cousin, happy and stupid." Cousin, hurry up. ”
"You!" Olivia glanced at Luna before looking at Arlene, "My brother and sister also know that she has been weak since she was a child, so we all pity her a little more, no, we are spoiled." ”
"Why, my father praises Luna every time he writes to me! Now that I see it, I think it's good, the females of our wolf clan should be so refreshing and happy, and I don't have to learn those pretentious things, and my eyes hurt when I look at them. As she spoke, Arlene glanced at Camilla beside her.
Camila lowered her head when she heard this, Luna couldn't see her expression because she was taller than her, but she didn't ignore her secretly clenched hand, so Luna couldn't help but look at Ethan, what's the situation?
Receiving Luna's gaze, Ethan glanced at Camilla, who was hanging her head, and then at her mother and aunt before speaking:
"Aunt, Mother, I want Luna to help me find some books. ”
Olivia didn't think much of it, but said, "Anyway, if we talk, you're bored, take Camilla and go play!" ”
"Got it~" Luna replied and curtsied at Arlene before turning around and walking out with Ethan and Camilla.
The three of them went out, thinking of Ethan's excuse, and Luna took the two of them directly to the castle's well-stocked reading room.
Ethan was silent along the way, but Camilla asked Luna about life at the castle with a look of envy from time to time.
Luna said that there was nothing to hide, and when Camila asked what she could say, she said it, and if she couldn't say it, just go through it in a circle.
The road from Olivia's study to the reading room was not long, and Luna's familiarity with the castle made it only seven or eight minutes long for the three of them to wander around, but it was enough for Luna to have a preliminary understanding of this shy little cousin.
