Chapter 281: A Sleepless Night in the Boudoir

Hearing Monica's scream, Catherine quickly turned her senses, and saw that the little crocodile standing behind her was about to send Monica into her mouth, and she took out the ghost fire from her waist and pulled the trigger, and a ghost fire bomb hit the ground at the little crocodile's feet.

The sudden gunshot startled the people present, and also frightened the unsuspecting little crocodile into letting go of the hand that grabbed Monica, and the little flower spirit took the opportunity to escape and flew towards Catherine, the little crocodile hurriedly reached out to grab it, and the angry Catherine fired three shots in a row, and sparks splashed on the ground.

The terrified little crocodile turned around and ran back to Gustav, holding his father and screaming, the scene was silent for a while, everyone looked at the patriarch, Gustav turned his head to stare at Catherine, who was still holding the ghost fire gun in his hand, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

However, the girl's tough eyes pushed him back, she glanced at the patriarch hatefully, first turned around and asked Monica if she was injured, after making sure that she was not injured, she got up and looked at the patriarch seriously and said, "Patriarch, this is the second attack that has occurred since we came here!"

"Miss Catherine, you are saying this too seriously, Sam is just a child, he may be a little nonsense, but he will not let you use your weapon rashly!" said Gustav in an arrogant tone.

"Nonsense?" Catherine sneered, pointing to the blood stains on the white clothes in front of her and said loudly, "He broke into my house this morning and bit my wrist into a blur of flesh, and now you can still see the blood on my clothes, and just now, he actually wanted to eat my close companion, the Great Patriarch, you call this nonsense, isn't it?"

Catherine's tough attitude surprised Gustav, and he glanced at Murphy, who was standing on the sidelines, with a blue face, and his tone couldn't help but soften.

"I have asked Nala to apologize to you for the morning, Sam did not do it right, but it did not cause any serious consequences, Miss Catherine, why should you bother with a child?"

"I just hope that you will give us a reassurance, and I don't want anything terrible to happen after tonight that will leave me with any bad impression of the noble hospitality!" Catherine glanced at the Grand Patriarch angrily, put away her ghostly fire and brushed away, and Lisa got up and left with her.

An angry Catherine took Monica back to her quarters, followed by Lisa, and when she saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, she leaned over and stroked her shoulder and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I can't imagine that the great patriarch can distinguish between right and wrong, and only know the bad boy who protects him!" Catherine said angrily.

"Don't be angry, it's all my fault, if I were a little more vigilant, I wouldn't have been caught by him. Little Flower Spirit flew up to Catherine and said apologetically.

"How can I blame you? it's all that bad boy!" Catherine took Monica in her hand and gritted her teeth and said, "I have hated such children since I was a child, and I hate their parents even more, and I want to beat them all up to relieve my anger!"

Hearing her words, Lisa smiled and sat down beside her, put her hand around her shoulder and smiled: "I can't see it, your temper is quite tough, when you said that just now, the big patriarch seemed to be suppressed by you, and he softened all of a sudden." ”

"He also looks at Murphy's face," Catherine lowered her head and sighed, "If it were me, I am afraid that it would not be so easy for him to succumb, unless I have the ability of Mr. Rogge, if he is here today, I will definitely be able to force the Great Patriarch to apologize in person!"

"I guess Lilith will give that little villain a little color!" Monica laughed as she sat in Catherine's palm, and her words reminded both Catherine and Lisa of Little Furball's prank, and they burst into laughter in unison.

"I miss Mr. Rogge and Lilith a little bit, and I don't know where they are now. After laughing, Catherine said with a faint sigh.

"Catherine, I have a question for you, and although I know it may be on your mind, you may not be willing to tell me, but I would love to ask you in person. Lisa asked, tilting her head to look at Catherine's side face.

"You ask. Catherine nodded briskly.

"Although I haven't been in contact with you for a long time, I can also see that the relationship between you and Mr. Rogge and Mr. Murphy is not ordinary, they both love and care for you, but which one do you like more in your heart?" asked Lisa, carefully observing Catherine's expression.

"Did someone ask you that about me?" asked Catherine, narrowing her eyes alertly.

"No, no, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else," Lisa quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm just curious, I want to know what it's like to like someone?"

She sighed helplessly, lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers and said: "In the tradition of our Amazons, men are just tools for inheritance, and love is a mysterious and frightening thing for us, because falling in love with a man means that we have to betray our people, which is to be pierced by random arrows. ”

"I see what you mean," Catherine said softly as she put her hand on Lisa's shoulder, sympathetic in her ear, "Actually, I don't know much about what love is like, because I haven't gotten it yet, and the person I like is so close to me, and the person who likes me can't make me accept him, and I've been in trouble." ”

Lisa looked back at Catherine with some puzzlement, hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking: "When we were chased by snakeskin beasts before, I saw Mr. Murphy and you sacrificing their lives to protect each other, I felt so touched at the time, isn't there no love between the two of you?"

"Murphy does love me," Catherine sighed and stood up, pacing slowly around the room, "He often touches and appreciates me, but I can't make myself fall in love with him, and I can't find what I want most in him......"

"What is it?" asked Lisa, curiously standing up and looking at her.

"A sense of security," Catherine said as she paused and looked back at Lisa, "and though he has protected me from danger countless times, I don't feel the sense of reliability in Mr. Rogge's control!"

She let out a long sigh and said in a melancholy voice: "When I was four years old, I lost the only man in my life I could rely on, my father, and for the next fifteen years I lived a life of exile, I was bullied too much, but I couldn't find someone who could protect me, until he appeared......"

Speaking of this, Catherine raised her head suddenly, Lisa was surprised to see a ray of light bloom in her eyes, she walked up to Lisa and said excitedly: "As long as he is there, everything is not a problem, no matter what kind of bad luck or enemy you face, as long as he is there, you will not feel helpless, scared and confused!"

"So you love him," Lisa nodded slightly in agreement, and said with an empathetic smile: "I understand your feelings, such a man can make you no longer afraid, as long as he is there, you are like seeing the dawn in the dark night, who doesn't love such a man?"

"Unfortunately, he doesn't love me. Catherine sighed sadly and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Lisa looked at her melancholy face with sympathetic eyes, and heard her sigh mournfully: "Maybe I'm really not good enough to be worthy of him, sometimes I feel so envious of Lilith, I don't dare to expect Mr. Rogge to treat me like a spoiler, I just hope that I can always be by his side, always ......"

Lisa stood quietly in place, watching Catherine silently lower her head and red eyes, her heart also felt very uncomfortable, she walked up to Catherine and sat down, put her arms around her shoulders and said, "Don't be discouraged, Catherine, you are no worse than anyone else, have faith in yourself!

"Tell him?" Catherine wiped the corners of her moist eyes, looked back at Lisa in surprise, and shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, if you tell him to be rejected by him in person, how will you get along with each other in the future?"

"What are you afraid of, maybe if you say it, he will agree?" Lisa glared at her, looking like she was not afraid of heaven and earth and said: "Even if he doesn't agree, it doesn't matter, you just pester him, let everyone know that you like him, so that other women don't dare to come and rob you, after a long time, he will naturally be yours!"

"Will this work?" asked Catherine, with little confidence.

"Try it, when you see him, tell him what you think about it first! If it doesn't work and then find a way, I'll help you!" Lisa said and glanced at Monica flying next to her, and added: "And Monica, we will help you!"

"Okay, I'll try!" Hearing Lisa say this, Catherine's heart felt a little more confident, and she said to Lisa and Monica gratefully, "Thank you!"

"It's not too early, let's rest first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow!" Lisa smiled and patted Catherine on the shoulder, and the two of them each lay down on the bed, and Little Flower Ling stayed on the small table at the bedside to keep vigil for them, and the room gradually fell silent.

Outside, a figure stood quietly, and when he heard that there was no sound in the room, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, like a mouse fleeing quietly in the night, tiptoeing away, and the bright moonlight of the swamp fell from the sky and reflected on Murphy's melancholy face.

......

The next morning, before dawn, Catherine quietly got up, since she talked to Lisa last night, she had not slept well all night, and her mind was about how to confess to Rogge, but the more she thought about it, the more confused her mind became, and she couldn't sleep at all.

Monica, who was guarding the bedside, saw that she woke up early, and asked her if she was unwell, Catherine told her that she wanted to go out to breathe, and Monica accompanied her out of the house, walking along the dark path before dawn and chatting.

The two of them circled around the crocodile base camp a few times, and it was getting dark, many of the crocodile tribes had woken up and started to prepare for the day, Catherine and Monica were about to return to the rest place to wake up Lisa, and at this moment, a crocodile soldier suddenly stopped Catherine.

"Is it Miss Catherine? The Great Patriarch asked me to invite you over to discuss something important!"
