Chapter 260

Max turned her head to the sound of loud knocking against the door She was exhausted froic formulas until her eyes were bloodshot She was all bundled up in a duvet like a cocooned caterpillar and was dazed for a moht sunlight struck her eyes The sun is already up in the sky She rubbed her sleepy eyes and groaned As if the guest as knocking on her door could not be rew louder She stood up wobbly and stuttered

“W-wait adid not cease for a moment Max quickly pulled her slippers from under the bed, wore theravated face caht

“Didn’t I warn you already that if this frigging beast crawls into rowled and waved the black cat to Max’s face Max exclaimed as she felt all the drowsiness slip away “Roy!”

Miria the cat by its neck, away from her to avoid its paws Roy let out a pitiful cry but the evil witch did not even blink an eye

“D-don’t hold him like that!” Max jumped to retrieve her own pitiful cat “Give it… toso mean to it!”

“And what about the meanness of this damned brat? Have you seen what he has done to my lab?”

Miriam stood on her toes to place her hand on top of Max’s head to push her down and she grew red at the blatant insult on her height Miria limbs, always used that method on her Max shook Miriam’s hand away and stared defiantly at her

“It’s because Mi-Miria Roy! That little fly-like creature was the one to taunt Roy first…”

“And so? Are you saying that it was deserving for this ball of hair to run wild in my lab?”

Max’s tail ilare She spoke sarcastically whilea conte be the first thing to do? Doesn’t the noble lady kno to apologize? Or is it because my lab is worthless compared to a pet of a noble lady?”

At Miriam’s fierce, endless retort, Max colored red in eize that my… cat caused you trouble I will never let it sneak out of the rooain n-next time Please… let it slide this once”

Miriam’s plump lips quivered like she was about to say ue and threw the cat into Max’s arms

“This is the last tiain, I will really skin it alive and turn it into slippers” Mirias, and turned aith a swish “Clean up my lab this instance!”

Then, she strode away Max could only gaze distantly at Miriah deeply, and look down at Roy Roy buried his head deeply into Max’s side and purred She then sank into her bed and stroked his soft fur as if to soothe him The day she left Anatol, unbeknownst to her, Roy slipped into her suitcase and ith her to the World Tower in the blink of an eye She was incredibly bewildered when she first found her cat on the shi+p However, the thought of having a friend on her side in an unfamiliar place made her secretly joyful, but she didn’t expect it would be this troublesoh “I… told you not to enter that woht really punish you, and do bad things to you”

The cat’s ears drooped, and he purred sadly Max, as endlessly scolding the cat, suddenly noticed that Roy’s fur on his tail was slightly bent and her eyes widened She let go of Roy to pull her curtains wider and then saw the ’s half-bent latch rolling on the sill Max gritted her teeth As she has suspected, Miriam’s pet Peori must have hid and lured Roy out She wanted to coht away and tell her to keep her own pet in sight, but she would only be ridiculed and scolded without clear evidence

Eventually, she sighed in resignation, closed theusing a fork as a latch, then started to get herself ready to go out of her room She had to hurry and clean up Miria up with the water froled hair into one piece like a vine Then, she grabbed a mop and a broom when she suddenly saw herself in the mirror placed next to her desk She saw a pale, exhausted face, dull eyes, and shabby clothing… She looked exactly like a young servant If Riftan saw her like that, ould he say? Max’s hand unconsciously flew to her neck as she saw her own dark eyes glaring at her face
