'An invitation?' Ciel who knew from the start that Madam Maya was also planning something could not help but be interested.
He took the invitation and read it. It probably couldn't be considered an invitation completely because it was full of words that were clearly written by hand, very beautiful and charming.
(His Highness the Prince, Son of the marvelous Ice Goddess. When I see you from afar, I know you will have a future that will thrill, no less than your great mother. I am Maya, a simple woman, would like to meet you, but as you know, it is not appropriate for me to come to Madam Zhou's territory given our poor relationship. If you wish, I hope you can come meet me at my Colosseum on Divine Cloud Road. In return, I will definitely give you whatever you want from me as long as it is within my means.)
With all those words, it can practically be considered a letter, a humbly written letter.
The man who delivered the invitation immediately stepped back slowly, occasionally glancing at Madam Zhou.
As he left, Ciel finally looked at Madam Zhou.
"What do you think, madam?" Ciel asked her.
However, Madam Zhou looked confused or perhaps pretended to be confused.
"What do you mean, Prince? If you want to meet Madam Maya, you can meet her as you wish," she said.
"Aren't you worried that I will change sides to her?" Ciel asked again.
This woman needed to be reminded a little so that she wouldn't keep pretending.
Unfortunately, she did seem to have exceptional skills in that area.
Ciel's words did not make her lose her composure.
"If that is your choice, Prince, I can do nothing but grieve that my hopes have been dashed," she said.
She looked so sad that anyone would feel sorry for her.
Ciel wondered if she was really a cunning and ambitious woman or an innocent woman who ended up seeming ambitious because of her desire to help her son.
It was hard to conclude now.
"By the way Madam, why did your knee nudge my knee earlier?" asked Ciel, choosing to change the topic, and it did need to be talked about given Madam Zhou's behavior now.
Hearing that question, Madam Zhou suddenly frowned.
"When?" She apparently asked back, even looking confused.
'Don't tell me she's unconscious?' Ciel wondered but he quickly discarded the thought.
Even if Madam Zhou did it unconsciously, there was no way she would forget about it given her cultivation now.
And that made Ciel come to another conclusion about her.
She was playing around with him. There was no doubt about that.
"Ahh, looks like I was just daydreaming," Ciel said.
He chose to stop the conversation because he knew that there would be no end to it.
If he wanted to know, it was better to leave, and then watch Madam Zhou secretly.
He was sure he would find out a thing or two with that.
And that way was more suited to the special skills of his eyes.
"Right, madam, I think I'd like to take a break first, the effect of this wine seems to be still long and I want to make good use of it," Ciel said.
Madam Zhou nodded lightly in response.
"Please choose the place you want, Prince! My house also has many rooms, you can choose one there," she said.
It was a pleasant offer, but Ciel wanted somewhere else for Madam Zhou to feel more free.
"I'll just go there," he replied, pointing at a tall building.
He walked there without waiting for Mu Yixue and the others.
When the guards of that building saw him, they immediately welcomed him, ushering him into the best room.
Ciel quickly arrived at the room. Without locking the door, he jumped onto the bed, lying there while gazing into Madam Zhou's house.
The woman had already returned to her home, she was directing the maids to clean up the leftovers on the table and wash the dishes. It seemed that it would still take some time before Ciel could see her secret.
He naturally did not mind waiting.
At the same time, the door to the room opened and Mu Yixue's figure stepped inside.
She looked at Ciel's face who was also looking at her, looking like she wanted to know what Ciel was thinking.
"If you need help, you can say so," she said suddenly, which surprised Ciel because she had previously seemed to disagree with the things he wanted to do here.
Had she changed her mind?
Ciel wondered briefly but didn't really think about it. He didn't answer either, just told her to come closer.
The woman had no qualms about approaching him now even though he was on the mattress. She even sat beside him, causing her scent to fill the air on the mattress.
Her beauty truly continued to captivate, making Ciel want to pull her.
However, Ciel wanted to focus on his goal first, so he refrained.
He simply moved his head from the pillow to her thigh, making her roll her eyes.
Mu Yixue didn't make any comments about his actions, but suddenly, she placed her hand on his forehead.
Phew!
She sighed, and began to massage his forehead, an action that made Ciel's expression become strange as he looked at her.
He thought this woman seemed to want to be a good wife now.
Unfortunately, he could not stare at her for much longer as he currently saw Madam Zhou walking towards a room that was probably hers.
It could not be said to be a luxurious room. Its size was not excessive, neither large nor small. It was also quite simple with a white mattress covered by a silk cloth.
There was only one cupboard in the room, containing various books.
Next to a window, there was a simple wooden table.
Madam Zhou walked over to the desk, sat down behind it, and then opened the drawer which turned out to contain a book with the word "Diary" on the cover.
