"- Katrin-sama-friend?"

There are so many doubts and slots in this sentence that Abner really doesn't know where to spit out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

First of all, since this 'Lord Catlin' is Jane's sister, then the appropriate title for Paris should be 'Your Highness', not 'Your Excellency', which is a title of status or respect.

Of course, since His Excellency the Duke of Valoranburg had only two daughters - and this His Royal Highness Jane was still a sister, the woman in Paris's mouth was probably the daughter of an illegitimate daughter or the daughter of other relatives, such as his brothers and sisters, and if these daughters of royal family members who did not inherit the Duke throne were indeed not qualified to be called 'His Highness'.

Secondly, it was also problematic for Abner to call her 'sir' - a young man who was no more than twenty or thirty years old at most, but was called the highest 'sir' in his daily honorifics (the first two were 'sir' and 'Your Excellency'), and looked at Paris and took it for granted - could it be that the other party was a genius of Catherine Casdia's level?

Finally, there was the 'friend', since he was a friend of Jane's sister Katrin, and according to the principle of gathering people by like, it was almost certainly not a nobody, perhaps the son of the great nobleman. According to common sense, Jane should not have been unaware of the name of the original author, whether Jane heard it around the two of them, or whether it was relayed to her by her sister. And if Jane knew, she would have known it when she relayed it to Paris, with her lively and curious personality.

But now, from her words, Abner is almost certain that she absolutely does not know the name of this man.

"What, what's the problem?"

Seeing his incredulous look, Paris, who was confused by his reaction, asked.

"Well, may I ask...... Miss Katrin is ......."

He was not allowed to think too much, and in the flash of his mind, Abner asked one of the questions in his mind.

“......”

The pink cherry lips opened and closed silently, and the burgundy eyes became dull - after hearing his question, as if she had been subjected to a 'dull spell' or a 'mentally retarded spell', Paris's whole body lost her vitality, and she was simply gray.

Could it be ...... Is this a little secret that can't be told to ordinary people?

While secretly speculating in his heart, Abner asked 'suspiciously', "...... Paris"

"Be quiet!"

After glancing left and right, and seeing that it did not attract the attention of the people around her, the girl who had returned to normal whispered in a stern tone.

"Huh?"

"What I'm going to say next is a secret. The girl looked unintentional, but her eyes were fierce that Abner had never seen before—but for him who was over thirty years old, it was like that.

"Hmm. ”

If you dare to let anyone else know, don't blame me - you know. The girl secretly compared a throat-slitting motion.

“...... I understand. "The girl's threat did not seem to be the slightest threat to Abner, who was 'battle-hardened', but that solemn attitude made him unconsciously serious, and secretly warned in his heart that no matter what she said next, he must keep his mouth shut.

"Sister Jane's sister, Master Katrin, is the one in the house who reached the ninth grade in sixth form. ”

“？！”

......

It was a large, bright, softly lit hall with tall marble columns, domes painted with magnificent scenes, smooth floors covered with brightly coloured and precious carpets, silver candlesticks inlaid on the walls, and paintings and other works of art everywhere......

Obviously, the owner here is either rich or expensive.

At this time, there were only two women sitting in the center of this hall. The rest, whether it was a housekeeper deacon with white gloves and a meticulous expression, or a man and maid with a humble and respectful posture and a cautious move, could only stand aside and silently wait for the two.

One of them was a bright sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wearing a white silk dress and long purple hair in a bun, she was sitting on a single sofa that was delicate enough to be called a work of art, with her hands folded flat on her legs, looking at the woman sitting opposite her with a slight uneasiness, holding a pendant in her right hand, and the corners of her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking.

If Abner had been here, he would have recognized the girl as Jane he knew.

Sitting across from her, the woman who resembled her was Jane's cousin, the royal genius Katrin: she had the same long purple hair as Jane, combed into a ponytail. The eyes were bright amber, and there was a strong will in them—and even the whole hall seemed to be brighter because of her bright eyes. Even her originally delicate and handsome face was made heroic by these eyes—but she was older, about twenty years old.

"-I can't get in touch! ”

In Jane's expectant eyes, Catlin, who had bowed her head slightly, raised her face, flipped her wrist, put away the pendant, then looked at her and shook her head, "I can't get in touch for the time being, maybe it's in some chaotic area." ”

"Can't get in touch?"

"Hmm. Katrin nodded, looking at Jane, whose maroon eyes were slightly wide, and her eyes became gentle with a sense of reassurance: "A few days ago, Kyle and Kailin discovered an altar of the Devil's Grand Duke during a raid - there is probably a lot of conspiracy hidden behind it. So, the two of them went to investigate. ”

“......”

Jane didn't know what to say with her explanation - during her mission to purge devil believers, she unexpectedly discovered that her cousin was actually the commander of the mission. As a result, the already thrilling mission became even more thrilling. Then, at the end of the mission, she was taken home by the sister and told her about Abner's martial arts studies.

And Jane did this for a reason - as geniuses of the same age, whether it was Kyle Aubreen or Catherine Casdia, they both had a deep friendship with Catherin and knew each other very well. So, by telling Katrin about this, Jane could largely get Kyle's possible reaction to the incident from her sister, who was nine years older than her.

By the way, even if Kyle himself is a little angry about this incident (although it may not be a big deal), he can use Katrin's face to take the matter lightly.

But unexpectedly, the other party was not in the royal capital, which made Jane's careful thinking suddenly useless - which made her both happy and disappointed.

But think about it, it's not normal for people like them to be idle all day, right? It's normal for them to be busy with all kinds of important things related to the kingdom.

"Then I'll have to wait for Brother Kyle to come back and tell him. Shaking her head, she said with some regret.

"Hmm. Katrin bowed her head and agreed with her sister's opinion, "Kyle may not care about such a trivial matter, but it's always good to tell him about it - if he's not there, you can just go tell Ann and talk to her by the way...... Talia, after all, is just a child. ”

"I will, sister. Jane agreed, thought for a moment, and added, "Do you want me to bring Paris?"

"If you all have free time, let's go together. Catelyn smiled, not breaking her sister's calculations, "If Claris is free, invite her to come with her—my griffon can lend you a day." ”

As she spoke, as if she suddenly remembered something, she smiled and said, "By the way, in about two months, Rania will come back for a coming-of-age ceremony. ”

"Sister Lania...... Is she coming back from the Holy City?" asked Jane in surprise.

"I think it's just a trip back - maybe it'll be a little longer, and then you'll have a good meeting. ”

"Miss, it's time for swordsmanship. ”

Without waiting for Jane to answer her words, the butler, who was standing respectfully, suddenly spoke to Katrin.

"Oh?" Katrin raised an eyebrow, "I don't think we have been talking for long...... So let's leave it at that, my sister is going to practice swordsmanship first, and if you're going to school, let's take my griffon. ”

So saying, she stood up and, with the butler's follower, walked out.

......

"Ahem, look into that Abner Felix. After walking out of the hall, Katrin, who originally looked very relaxed, changed her serious expression, and said to the butler beside her with some discomfort: "Origin, age, hobbies, interactions, habits...... The more detailed, the better!"
