Chapter 874: Movie Viewing at the Duke's House

The scenery outside the car window is constantly changing.

Ikerite in winter, they were all very familiar with the place inside the car.

Even during the coldest two or three weeks, the temperature was not too low, it was warm in winter and cool in summer, and the humidity was just right, which is why Ikrit is known as one of the most livable cities in the southern continent.

For the great demons such as Ifatia and Talia, this southern continent city full of order and harmony was very novel to them when they first arrived.

From the ancient Ikerite Central Station and St. Brian's Cathedral, the stronghold of the Church of the Goddess of Fate, to modern magical glass curtain wall buildings, including Hutton Pedestrian Plaza where the Card Makers Guild is located and Erica's Tower where scholars gather, the diverse styles of buildings add a lot of color to the city of Ikerite.

"Sister, have you ever been to the top floor of Erica's Magic Tower? There is a workshop there where you can customize the magic snacks of your choice."

"But don't you need a membership card to register for the advanced level of the Magic Tower there?"

"We have it at home. When I get it back, we can go."

Along the way, Ifatia was planning where to go with Talia.

Although Ifatia, who came to Ikerit earlier, is more like a local than Talia, Ifatia hasn't been back to Ikerit for more than ten years, and Talia has mainly lived in Ikerit in the past two years. The two sisters travel together because they are each unfamiliar with the places and take each other out to play.

"I haven't spent any money since I came to Ikerit. The human kingdom is a great place."

Ifatia took out their family's South Continent Federation credit card, saying that her sister wouldn't have to worry about spending when she followed her.

"Uh."

Talia wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she felt that she had no right to say anything about Ifatia.

What made her better than Ifatia was that she earned some wages through her labor, while Ifatia just gave up and took advantage of the Duke.

But in the final analysis, all the money she earned was Lanqi's. If Lanqi hadn't given her the opportunity, she would still be an illegal immigrant unable to find a job.

At this time, Talia noticed that Migaiya in the front row turned her head and looked at Lanqi.

There was a look of mutual understanding in the eyes of both of them, and even a bit of mutual sympathy. If it wasn't difficult to say it in front of each other, they might have already started sharing their experiences of being hooked.

"Are you trying to say... that the demons destroyed the country for a reason?"

Although Talia couldn't quite understand Miaiya's thoughts, she could read Lanqi's damn micro-expressions.

Lanqi seems to have finally found teammates who share the same frequency with him in daily tasks.

"No no."

Mi Gaiya quickly waved her hand politely and no longer looked back to exchange glances with Lanqi.

"Sister, have you ever been to the Golden Bee Amusement Park? When I left Ikerit, the Golden Bee Amusement Park had just started construction. It should be completed now, right? Can you take me there to play?"

Ifatia was still pulling Talia's arm and asking her questions nonstop.

“I’ve been there, it was fun.”

Talia won a lot of Golden Bee Coins at the Golden Bee Amusement Park last time, but she couldn’t finish them all for supper, so she left them all at Boss Cat’s restaurant. She can still have fun at the amusement park next time.

Moreover, she also won an annual card reward for the Golden Bee Amusement Park in the trial of the Corridor Academy, and it has not expired yet. It would be a pity not to spend all the Golden Bee coins, so she has to ask Lanqi to help her deal with it when she has time.

"Wow, I want to feed my sister a midnight snack too."

Ifatia was eager to try.

"How do you know that Lanqi fed me a midnight snack? No, I mean, your use of the word 'also' is very unreasonable, and what's more, I don't need anyone else to feed me."

Talia immediately retorted and pointed out the problem.

"Ah? Didn't you hold him and feed him during your first date in Flower City? Haven't you ever fed him a midnight snack?"

Ifatia covered her mouth in surprise.

"Yifa, be careful or I'll hit you! Have you forgotten who fed you when you were a child?"

Talia was so angry that she wanted to grab Ifatia beside her.

"No! Sister!"

They were chatting and joking in the back seat.

Before we knew it, the sun was rising higher and higher.

The vehicle they were riding in passed the Duke's Palace in the southern district of Ikerite and gradually began to slow down.

In a quiet neighborhood, there is a magnificent ducal mansion.

As you slowly drive into the gate of this magnificent manor, what comes into view is the straight and neat private driveway with the spotlessly clean asphalt road.

The road is lined with neatly planted sycamore trees with dense crowns, and the spherical hedges between the trees decorate the driveway like a string of emerald beads.

At the end of the driveway, in the center of the huge circular fountain square, there is a marble goddess statue holding a lamp. Clear spring water pours down from under the lamp holder, reflecting colorful rainbow light under natural light.

The fountain is surrounded by gorgeous rose beds, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Further ahead, the magnificent three-story Duke's Mansion rises from the ground. The milky white stone exterior walls are shining, the floor-to-ceiling windows are neatly arranged, the window frames and terrace railings are exquisitely carved, and two majestic white marble lions guard the left and right sides of the mansion door. The gold lacquer of the Duke of Aransal's family emblem on the gate sparkles during the day.

"arrive."

The car slowly stopped in front of the mansion gate. Hans opened the door for the Duke, and the Duke and Duchess and others got out slowly.

"My home hasn't changed in all these years!"

Ifatia raised her hand to block the dazzling sunlight and looked at her own Duke's Mansion.

"I heard from Hyperion that the Duke has kept the piano for you for more than ten years. It is worth a fortune."

Lanqi told Ifatia.

At first, he was afraid that Lanfu would destroy the piano, so he heard the story from Hyperion.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Soon, tears appeared on Ifatia's smiling face.

"Let's go inside first."

Taliyah patted her sobbing sister's back.

Soon they walked up the spotless white steps. Hans, the mansion's butler, was waiting at the door ahead of them, bowing his head.

"Welcome back, everyone."

Pushing open the heavy oak door, a crystal chandelier made by ancient Ikerite craftsmen hangs down from the six-meter-high ceiling, and the refraction of the crystal facets illuminates the magnificent entrance hall.

The magnificent staircase spirals up to the second floor.

"Has lunch been prepared?"

Duke Migaia asked Hans while greeting the servants and maids who had been waiting in the mansion for a long time.

"of course."

Butler Hans answered respectfully.

He had worked at the Wilford household for a long time and already knew that if Miss Tata was coming, lunch could be prepared in the morning.

"Pfft."

Lanqi couldn't help but chuckle.

He is always good at finding some happy details in life.

"Lanlan..."

Talia wanted to attack Lanqi but stopped.

At her sister's house, she felt it was not easy to execute Lanqi on the spot, as it might seem a little uncivilized.

"Is Hyperion home?"

Ifatia asked the maid in the house.

"Yes, Lady Ifatia."

The maid responded with great respect, treating Ifatia like her mother.

However, Talia was stunned when she noticed the maid.

"Francine, why are you here?"

Talia remembered that this was the hired maid who had the best relationship with Lanci in Wilford's house, and she also had a good relationship with her. Now that Hans had returned to the Alansal family, Francine came along as a result.

"Ms. Tata, I was originally a maid adopted by the Alansal family. Later, I was brought to the Wilford family by Mr. Hans. Now that the Alansal family is short of staff, I naturally came back to work."

Francine bowed to Talia and said,

"But don't worry. Since the Wilford family's business scale has been reduced, they have been in a surplus of servants. Although they can afford us, we often have nothing to do when we stay at the Wilford family. If the Wilford family needs me in the future, I can go back at any time."

Francine explained.

She was very surprised when she saw that Master Lanqi could paint epic paintings, but she was not too scared, after all, she had seen the Duke's paintings.

"That's it."

Talia thought for a moment.

She inexplicably felt that there was no difference between returning to the Duke's Mansion and returning to the Wilford family. There would be no harm in changing the names of the two families.

"By the way, is Hyperion okay?"

Talia immediately remembered the key point.

She was afraid to sleep with Hyperion, but if she didn't stay with Hyperion, she would worry that Hyperion would catch a cold if she lifted the quilt every day. She was concerned about Hyperion's physical condition every day these days.

"Dr. Antanas came with Miss Shinola this morning. After her diagnosis, there is basically nothing serious. Miss Shinola is just watching the video in the bedroom upstairs now."

Francine replied, pointing in the direction of the stairs leading to the second floor.

"call……"

Thalia breathed a sigh of relief.

"What video?"

Lanqi suddenly seemed to have discovered something and asked Francine.

"It seems to have been sent from the Flower City, Pariel. Yes, it was sent by Countess Rosalinda some time ago. It has finally passed through customs and arrived at the Cat Boss Restaurant. After Miss Sigrid read it, she gave it to Miss Antanas and asked her to read it freely. Then Miss Antanas was full of curiosity and joy and wanted to show it to everyone."

Francine recalled what she had learned and lectured Lankey.

Fortunately, Antanas was very talkative. She chatted with her non-stop after meeting her, so Francine knew so much. "Meow!"

The cat boss quickly jumped from Lanqi's hand to Ifatia's side.

It felt something was wrong when it heard the video of Huadu.

Knowing that Sigrid had finished reading it, Boss Cat felt even worse!
It looked up at Lanqi and Tata, who had been silent since a while ago.

Lanqi and Talia began to sweat on their foreheads and their expressions froze.

Sigrid was definitely playing a trick on them by giving the video to Antanas.

"Do you know the content of the video?"

Francine had never seen Master Lankey and Miss Tata so in sync.

"Excuse me, where is Hyperion's room?"

Lanqi came to his senses and asked Francine hurriedly.

"Well, at the end of the second-floor corridor, the largest bedroom is hers. The door is inlaid with amber crystals."

Francine showed them the way.

"Let's go see Hyperion!"

Lanqi and Talia ran towards the stairs at the same time.

Only a few others were left standing not far from the foyer.

After a while.

"Isn't that the video that Etienne showed us, no, me, in Huadu?"

Ifatia asked Duke Migaia.

"puff."

Mi Gaiya covered her mouth, trying to hold back her laughter.

Is there any need to ask? It must be that video.

His colleague Sigrid was really ruthless. Her first reaction after watching it was to show it to Hyperion as well.

……

the other side.

The corridor on the second floor of the Duke's Palace.

Ranchi and Talia, who were running, stopped at the end tacitly and found the bedroom door inlaid with amber crystal.

When they are ready they knock on that door.

Before they touched the door, they heard a sound coming from inside.

"Oh, so the cat boss's voice at that time was actually Tata's? Meow~meow?"

Antanas exclaimed.

After she finished speaking, she tried to meow like a cat by clamping her throat, but she couldn't imitate Talia's authentic voice.

"Absolutely."

Shinola's voice was filled with embarrassment, she couldn't stand this scene.

She had never thought that Talia, who was usually dignified in the Demon King's Castle, would be so bold in playing.

"You see, they should have noticed the problem at this time, but they held hands even tighter. This conditioned reflex and physiological reaction caused them to have a suspension bridge effect. Then hugging each other and feeding each other was also a process of comforting each other."

Hyperion seemed to have become optimistic. She used the remote control to analyze frame by frame what Lanci and Talia were saying in the picture, and why they were hugging each other while eating.

Now the three of them in the room just seemed to be having a serious seminar.

Of course this is more likely a more advanced form of execution.

"..."

Lanqi and Talia's faces were already red at the door, and their trembling hands could not touch the door panel, as if the door panel was hot.

At this time, the big demon inside the door seemed to have noticed the movement outside the door.

Antanas quickly stopped the urge to speak, ran over and opened the door.

"Miss Francine?"

Antanas was all ready to take the snacks Francine brought.

But when she opened the door, she only saw Ranci and Talia.

Antana took a deep breath and pretended that she was also a maid of the Duke's family. She stood respectfully by the door and waited without saying a word.

Shinola, who was lying on the bed watching, quickly closed her eyes, then sat gracefully on the edge of the bed, pretending to be as elegant as usual.

The scene became extremely awkward at one point.

In the dim room with the curtains drawn, only the light from the projection occasionally illuminated their figures and faces.

When Antanas and Shinora didn't dare to speak, time in Hyperion's bedroom seemed to be difficult to flow, and it was frozen for a long time in the mutual torture and torment between Lanci and Talia.

"Lanqi, Tata, you are back from the Flower City."

Hyperion opened her lips slightly and looked at Ranci and Talia who had arrived in Ikerit.

She is the only one who is most at ease.

"..."

Lanqi and Talia were both too guilty to speak.

The adjective "from the Flower City" specially added by Hyperion sounds very meaningful.

"How was the flower capital? Did you have fun?"

Hyperion continued to ask.

"..."

Lanqi and Tata seemed to be tortured and could not say that they were fed again.

Hyperion observed the two people with interest. She put down the remote control, letting the scene of their date play in the room, and walked in front of Talia of Lanqi.

"Tata, your meow is so cute. I didn't even realize it wasn't the cat boss."

Hyperion's amber eyes were sometimes tinged with deep purple light as she spoke into Talia's ear.

"Huprienne, I was wrong."

Talia finally broke through her defense. She grabbed Hyperion's arms and said to her,

"Don't watch this video again. Don't watch it again. Please, I'll do anything you ask me to do."

Talia wanted to hug Hyperion but didn't dare to do so without permission.

Although she and Hyperion had been frank with each other, the footage from that day was reviewed by Hyperion herself, and Talia felt that she couldn't face Hyperion and her friends at the moment.

It was like she had been expertly stealing Lanqi for a long time, which was really weird!
"Anything is okay?"

Hyperion asked as she took Ranch's hand in front of Talia.

"Yes……"

Talia could only lower her head and stammer.

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore."

Hyperion's other hand, which was pressed against the wall, used the button to open the automatic curtains in the bedroom. As the sunlight poured into the bedroom, the whole room became bright. The purple shadow in Hyperion's eyes faded away, and the amber color was still as clear as ever, but with a little bit of a sly smile.

In fact, she had already thought it through, and she, Sigrid and Talia had reached a consensus, which was why she could hold a movie viewing party for Antanas and Sinora here today.

"I'll take Lanqi away today. Tell Mother Yifa that we won't be back for lunch!"

Hyperion took Ranch's hand and ran out, just like she had taken Ranch away from the room on the day of the "cuteness that makes me want to eat you" incident, or as if she had forcefully stolen Ranch away.

"..."

Talia covered her face with her hands. Now that she was gradually waking up, she kept thinking about how ridiculous the things she had done were.

When Lan Qi could feel the death of society, she even felt that she couldn't stay in this world anymore.

Fortunately, Hyperion has now separated Ranch from her, and the awkwardness between the three of them is less severe.

"..."

Antanas looked at the room inside the door, and then at the two people who disappeared on the side of the corridor.

As expected, she was not wrong. Talia Ranch and Hyperion, when the three of them get together, things will become twisted!
Antanas couldn't help but clench his fist.

She looked at her best friend Talia, and couldn't help but feel that this Talia with a red face due to shame was more attractive than the dignified princess Talia with no expression in the demon world!

Even the most amazing hug can’t satisfy her.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't be stopped.

I hope Lan will not let her down.

After a long time.

"I'm going to look for Yifa. I haven't seen her for a few days."

Shinora coughed lightly, sat up from the bed, and left Hyperion's room quietly and quickly.

"Uh, Tata, shall we go downstairs for some snacks later?"

Antanas also realized that he seemed to be too excited and ignored Talia's feelings.

that's it.

Talia and Antanas were the only ones left in the empty room.

"Wow, Antanas, I don't want to mess with Lanqi anymore."

Talia walked to Antanas' side dejectedly like a deflated ball, sat down, and cried to her best friend.
