Chapter 78 The Cat and the Skunk (Sanjiang

The king looked at Fanzhuo's prince seriously, and saw that he changed the cane that never leaves his body from his right hand to his left hand, then reached into the pocket of his coat and touched it - took out a ball of soft, round things, put them in front of Louis, and opened his fingers, so Louis saw a sleeping kitten.

Prince Fanzhuo saw the king raise his head and looked at him with an indescribable expression.

Hmm, please take it, Your Majesty. Prince Fanzhuo said: This is part of me and me.

Part of you? The king repeated. He did know and saw vampires flying away with his own eyes, but he never thought that a group of bats could even separate a cat. He could not control himself and look up Prince Vanzhuo up and down, trying to see which part he was missing. Theodric was discomfort by this subtle look, so he raised his hand and let Louis look at his left hand. There was a ring finger missing, which must have been the part that transformed into the cat.

Although it should be a bat, it is obvious that cats are more suitable for appearing in front of everyone than bats.

There are questions about cats and bats, starting from the eleventh century or earlier. Compared to the noble position of cats in ancient Roman times, after the entire Europa was ruled by God, cats were regarded as animals that witches would raise only when they were witches. Perhaps because of their agility and elusive relationship, people linked them to signs of evil. They said that cats would ride on brooms with witches to fly across the sky to find poisonous herbs, and said that witches would turn into cats and attack babies in their homes, or if cats jumped over the dead, they would turn the dead into zombies.

But compared to the bats that were never recognized by people, cats were cats in the 13th century (for cats) - the pope ordered people to burn all cats - after that, after the Black Death came back in 1347, people gradually realized that cats could curb the proliferation of mice, and the proliferation of mice was curbed, which meant that the plague could be eliminated, but at that time, cats would still be wary of people - to say when cats were truly accepted by people again, it was probably that the people of Europa entered the period of great voyage. In order to eliminate rat damage, there were one or more cats on each ship, and they gradually became symbols of auspiciousness, especially those cats who survived the shipwreck but survived.

Nowadays, people can also see cats in some villages and towns. People no longer make a fuss when they see cats, except for pure black cats.

Wouldn't this prevent you from acting? Louis asked: I thought you would give me a descendant.

I have no descendants. Theodric said.

Where is your minister?

Theodric shook his head, and Louis did not continue to ask. After all, even in the inner world, vampires are the most mysterious and self-centered race. Moreover, as a mortal, Louis is not sure whether Theodric's ideas can be understood by himself, so why bother?

What can it do?

You can think of it as a little me, Theodric said: It can also do most of the things I can do, except with the help of external objects or spells that require enough magic, it can take on your full-strength blow like Amon.

Louis pinched the kitten.

Also, Theodric said: It is precisely because it is me, so if you have something you don’t want people to know, it’s best not to bring it with you.

I will. Louis said that the voice-over of Theodric was that he could lend his power to ensure the king's safety, but he was unwilling to let the king use this to glimpse the things that should not have been known to him, and even enter dangers that should not be touched by him.

Will it be noticed? The king asked, now he had a priest from the Inquisition. Although the great judge Elaliol seemed to care about what was around the king, he had to at least make sure that if part of Theoderick stayed by his side, there would be any troublesome problems.

As long as you don't use your strength, don't be exposed to the sun directly - it will become weak, Theodric said: Then it's an ordinary cat.

Does it need to eat?

It requires a small amount of fresh blood if you want.

Louis nodded.

Theodric glanced at the king and sighed sadly, lifting up the cloak behind him. When the cloak fell, he disappeared as well. A wisp of gray smoke emerged from the gap in the window. The wind blew it, and it quickly disappeared from the king's vision.

The king grabbed the cat and left the room. When he saw Bang Tang, he carried the cat's paws and put it in Bang Tang's hand. Bang Tang hadn't discovered what it was at first. When he realized that it was a cat, he couldn't help but caressed: Where did it come from?

From the room just now, Louis said: I think it was probably because I disturbed it and it was easy to sleep.

Are you going to let it go?

Find a bird cage to put it on, Louis said: Then hang it in my room.

The next day, everyone in the court knew that the king had a cat, and a small furry whirlwind blew up among the nobles. The king was happy to see it. After all, cats are much cute and safer than mice.

The first time I came to visit this kitten was Mary Mancini, but it was hard to say whether she was visiting the cat or the king. When the king saw her, he remembered that he had never seen a cat next to Mancini.

They were all left at Lazio. Mary sat lazily at the king's feet, leaning his head against his knees, and the cat fell asleep in her skirt, with a belly undulating. Bontang gave it a fresh quail in the morning, and it ate it voraciously, which seemed quite satisfied. This made Louis feel much more at ease - in the bright light, the cat had a blue-gray fur, a pair of amber eyes, and two balls of body and head, which looked completely inconsistent with its body.

I also raised several lizards, Mary said: But my father would not allow me to bring them over.

The maids would yell when they saw the lizard. Louis said that he was warmed by the place where Mary leaned against. The king reached out and touched Mary's curly hair. She purred gently like a cat. Louis's eyes also softly became gentle. He knew that he should reject Mary, which was easy for him, but he had to admit that he was also attracted by Mary.

But I asked Felipe to bring it to me, and I mean my cat. Mary said: It is said that many people in the palace are raising cats now, so my uncle agreed to me.

What kind of cat are you?

Angora cat, from Turkey. Mary said, you are just a Charlotte blue cat. She raised the cat and looked at it, giving the king an answer in its uneasy cry: there is a bell, male.

The king thought to himself that he was sure, and he pinched the cat's neck and raised it from Mary, hoping that the connection between Prince Vanzhuo and it would not be too close. He put the cat in the drawer, and in order to divert Mary's attention, he asked: Who is Felipe?

My brother Mary said, the one I hate the most.

Then it is also a Mancini. Louis said that he seemed to have heard the name mentioned by the Bishop. It is said that the Bishop intends to seek the title of duke for him, why is it the most annoying?

Have you ever seen a skunk? Mary said, multiply by ten.

—————

Felipe Jules Mancini is actually not as abominable as Mary said. The Mancini family had a beauty, Mary was like this, and Mary's sister Ann, who was about to marry Prince Conte. Felipe was no exception. Compared to Mary, he was already an adult, with dark gray eyes and long brown hair, and his eyes were exactly the same as Mary, with a slightly raised upward and smiling type. His lips were rosy and plump, better than any noble lady. If there was anything that was really disgusting, it was also his eyes. Those eyes that were always wavy when they were on a woman, and when they were on a man, it was uncomfortable for Louis.

His outfit is no less than that of the Duke of Anjou, and his brother Philip came simple. The Italian romantic and domineering are undoubtedly revealed on him. He exudes a rich and strong fragrance, like a rose in his prime. The crimson velvet and satin contrast with pearls and diamonds, making him shine from his fingers to his toes.

It is undeniable that Felipe won the love of most noble women, and the Queen Mother even allowed him to pour wine for himself during dinner. This was obviously an honor for a young man without a title. His temper was not as bad as Mary said. He treated praise and curses equally - not because of his broad mind, but because of his indifference. He was indeed frivolous by nature and good at making trouble. Within a few months after he arrived in Paris, he had several sweet nests inside and outside the palace, and even the Earl of D'Artagnan, who was favored by no less than three noble women, could not compare with him.

But apart from these people, they can only be said to be useless. After seeing him a few times, the king completely put him on hold. He could indeed give him a duke's title, but even to praise Bishop Mazaran, he did not want to do so. He did not want those whom he recognized to think that an incompetent slutty child could be compared with them. Perhaps, after the situation was completely settled, he would deal with it, but now, no.
