Beauty and the Python

19.

Elaine once again surprised the Duke by surprise.

When she woke up the next day, she didn't seem too panicked.

Presumably, the princess had good living habits in the past. At least when the sunlight penetrated through the gap in the curtains and hit the duke's cold body, forcing him to wake up, he first curled up his body into a ball and opened his eyes. Eyes - in fact, he has no eyelids now.It's just that after falling asleep, the eyes will be covered with a white mist-like film. He blinked, and the white mist disappeared immediately, and bright red vertical pupils emerged.

He stared straight at a certain place under his feet with these eyes, and soon, his gaze easily penetrated the wall and ceiling, and he saw the princess from the distant Gustav family sitting upright On the dining table below, he gracefully enjoyed his breakfast—a piece of raw ham, a few slices of lettuce, and a mushy fried egg.There was a breakfast on the side, and the princess picked up the lump in her arms and fed it to him with her own hands. The fluffy thing rubbed against her affectionately, causing her to smile and smooth his fur gently—except Who else is Earl Cat?

The Duke's mood darkened, and he wondered if he had overslept.

After breakfast, Elaine walked into the kitchen and cleaned the dishes by herself.

Her Royal Highness would actually do such a thing?The Duke was surprised, and thought that it was cold in the morning, and the princess obviously didn't boil hot water... Sure enough, after washing the dishes in cold water and setting the tableware, Elaine wiped off the water droplets on her hands, and rubbed her hands together. for a moment.

Seeing this action, the Duke was even more unhappy.

The princess turned her head and went into the bathroom. Seeing that the cat-addicted guy was so skinny and shameless that he wanted to follow in, the Duke couldn't bear it any longer. A gust of wind blew past and gently closed the door of the bathroom behind the princess, and soon there was a knock on the door The sound of the lock being clenched—of course the princess would not hear it.

Earl Cat was stunned outside the door, and with an inexplicable 'grunt' sound in his throat, he turned his head and walked into the Duke's study.

The prince stood up and looked at him coldly.

"Theodore, I think you'd better explain."

Count Cat put away his front paws, stood up as usual, took out a three-cornered hat from nowhere and put it firmly on his head, "This is a long story."

"At seven o'clock in the morning, the princess wakes up."

"She was surprised to find that she was still in this place, pinched her arm, and soon realized that this was not a dream, and thought that perhaps this was her father, maybe the king who deceived her? What ancient The home of a distant relative of Stafford's."

"She thought this relative was a great person who knew some magic."

"Adhering to the etiquette, she didn't come upstairs, but just walked around the hall, kitchen and bathroom downstairs."

"Then she discovered the weirdness of this place, everything was clean, but there was a lack of ingredients in the kitchen, no personal items in the bathroom, it didn't look like someone lived, and the furniture here was so old Like an old antique from the last century, no one has responded to her since last night..."

"We all know your habits, I'm afraid it will take some time for you to wake up at this time."

"So only I, the human friend, the cutest creature in the world, was responsible for going to comfort her."

Count Cat laughed: "She really likes cats."

"As soon as she saw me, she was not so disturbed."

The Duke stared at him and sneered: "It seems that you like her very much, too."

"You had better……"

Before the words of threat could be uttered, they were suddenly interrupted by a scream from downstairs.

"Ah!!!—" That was not the voice of a princess.

But soon, the princess's equally frightened scream sounded.

Earl Cat ran downstairs and glanced distractedly—there was nothing in front of him.

"...Mirror...What's in the mirror?" The princess sat on the sofa blankly, frowning slightly, her expression was confused and distressed, all of which made the beautiful amber eyes less charming. color.

The Duke looked at the Earl Cat who was standing aside. The Earl Cat understood, walked over with light steps on all fours, and leaned over to the princess and let out a meek cry.

The princess regained her composure, put her hand on the cat, and stroked it unconsciously.

The Duke then looked back, turned and entered the room behind him.

In the dark room, there is a huge mirror.

The Duke walked to the mirror, but a young girl in white was reflected in the mirror.

Seeing the Duke approaching, she stepped back, grabbed the hem of her clothes immediately, and fixed herself firmly in place.

The Duke's voice was low and cold: "Who let you in?"

"I, I... I just..." She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at him, "I want to see..."

"Then she saw you?"

"You even yelled like crazy."

Her expression was as timid as her words: "That's because... because..."

"Because of what? Because of your stupidity!" The Duke's impatience had piled up to the bottom line, and he growled, "You want to be trapped in this mirror forever? Then I can completely fulfill you now."

"No, don't!" She hurriedly raised her head, met his stern gaze, and actually believed what he said was true, and even more believed that he could definitely do it.She pursed her lips, couldn't hold back, and burst into tears, "That's because... I was so surprised!"

—— "I never thought that the princess would be a man!"

"What did you say?"

At the same time, Elaine frowned in the hall, and looked up upstairs if he felt something.

"Who is crying?"
