Just then, a knock ca from outside the study door, "Young Master, I have brought Fulan here. Are you available now?"
"Co in directly," Kael said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the large door of the study was opened, and the Chief Maid of Lord Mansion entered leading a small cat-eared girl.
She didn’t seem to like talking much.
While following the Chief Maid, she constantly tried to hide behind her.
Seeing her behavior, the Chief Maid sighed and gracefully made an apologetic gesture, saying,
"Young Master Kael, I am very sorry, Fulan is just too nervous."
Kael shook his head and said, "Nervousness is normal. Suddenly being called over by a stranger in this world would certainly scare a child.
Be at ease, I am rely curious."
Upon hearing what Kael had said, the faint tension in the Chief Maid’s eyes disappeared.
Although she had no idea what Young Master Kael wanted to do, he had asked about Fulan as soon as he returned that afternoon.
This behavior made the Chief Maid a bit worried.
After all, she knew very well that Young Master Kael had reached adulthood and naturally he would be more concerned about many things.
As a qualified Chief Maid, she knew Kael’s character well, but that didn’t an she wouldn’t get nervous upon hearing that he asked her to bring Fulan over.
The Chief Maid gently stroked Fulan’s small head, sensing her emotions improving slightly, and the tense expression on Fulan’s, the taciturn cat-eared girl, face also relaxed a bit.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Kael settled into his seat, displaying an amused expression, and said,
"Lin Hua, this is the first ti I’ve seen you show such a nervous expression."
Lin Hua, that is the Chief Maid’s real na, or more precisely, how the other maids in Lord Mansion addressed her.
What her original na was had beco unknown to anyone.
Lin Hua herself knew she was being teased by her own Young Master, and could only say with slight helplessness,
"Alas~Actually, Lin Hua was sowhat worried that the Young Master, having grown up, might have so dangerous thoughts. In fact, I was really a bit scared while bringing Fulan over."
Kael did not get angry, but looked at the Chief Maid’s cat ears, which seed to blend seamlessly with her maid’s lace, and snorted, saying,
"If I really wanted to do sothing to you, could you resist?"
Seeing Kael’s expression, the Chief Maid knew Kael was still not angry, so after remaining silent for a while, she revealed her true feelings,
"I was thinking, if Young Master Kael really couldn’t resist, Lin Hua would perhaps only kneel at the Young Master’s feet and beg him to spare my Fulan and do as he pleased with ."
"I don’t recall being a fellow who enjoys recklessly encroaching on his own turf," Kael sighed, guessing why Lady Lin Hua was so nervous.
After all, among her maids, there was one who had nearly been completely consud, and now surely so of the young maids envied her and wanted to replicate Hassaka’s achievents.
But Kael frankly spoke, "Be at ease, I just went out for a few days with Dan and the others, cleared the surrounding area, and happened to pass by the place where her parents used to be stationed. I was just a bit sentintal, that’s all."
He stood up, approached the Chief Maid, squatted down, and said to the little Cat Girl:
"Your na is Fulan, right?"
"Mhm~" the reticent little Cat Girl replied softly.
"From now on, live well in Lancaster. Soon, those of your kin who wander around will return to Titan Town. By then, there should be quite a few children of your age returning.
You... can interact more with them, so you won’t feel so lonely."
Little Cat Girl Fulan looked up at Kael, saw his brilliant eyes that shone like stars, and his sincere expression on his face. She hesitated for a mont, then nodded and said:
"Mhm."
"Right?" Kael felt as if the cat-petting gene hidden within him was suddenly activated. A smile spread across his face as he reached out and pinched her little round face, whispering softly:
"It must be lonely without your parents around, but don’t give up on yourself. Your parents’ departure ans you no longer have a haven, so you must be brave!"
His whisper was almost inaudible: "Fulan, from now on, you will have to rely on yourself just like ."
The words dispersed by the wind shocked the Chief Maid nearby, suddenly making her heart ache.
So, did the young master want to et Fulan... because he saw his own reflection in her?
No... that’s not it! At least Fulan still has her foster mother by her side, but Young Master Kael has no relatives left.
As for those damned descendants of Lion Heart?

Don’t joke, those people can hardly be called relatives. On the contrary, they are Kael’s rivals.
At that level, even Lin Hua knew that there was virtually no such thing as familial affection among the nobles, just a struggle for power and profit.
In such circumstances, Young Master Kael really didn’t have many people to engage deeply with.
Thinking this, she felt ashad of her previous trivial thoughts.
As for little Cat Girl Fulan...
She tilted her head, looking puzzled at this big brother, feeling that his voice sounded very gentle.
"Alright, Lin Hua, Fulan, I called you here tonight just for fun. Go on, get so good rest... Oh, Fulan, co here for a mont."
"Uh..." Fulan hesitated but still walked over to Kael’s side.
Kael gently touched her little head, Fulan shook her head, her cat ears involuntarily stood upright.
"Here, take this..." Just when she felt a bit uneasy, a tiny Sli jumped into her arms.
"Eh!" Fulan let out a small gasp.
"Don’t worry, this little guy is obedient; it won’t hurt you," Kael said, laughing softly. "You can keep it as a pet. Not to boast, but with this little thing by your side, a group of ordinary people might not be able to hurt you."
Fulan pondered for a mont, did not refuse, and just nodded at Kael.
"Finally..." Kael’s mouth curled up, saying, "Co on, call ’Brother’!"
