Chapter 137

Purr [Part 1]

“Meow! Meow! Meow!”

Finally done with this busy week after finishing the 5 dresses, the Stuart family were relaxing in the living room with the cats for the first time in a while.

“?? What’s wrong, Ryuu-chan?”T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

Ryuu-chan, who often liked to meow noisily in the past, but had supposedly become calmer in this world, was now trying to get the family’s attention.

“Meow! Meow!”

“......!? Eh?”

Because William was worried about Ryuu-chan, Emma strained her ears to hear what the cat was saying. Cat language was hard to catch if she didn’t concentrate. The most important thing was the current mood and love.

“Nee-sama, is Ryuu-chan alright? Did she say anything about a stomach ache or something?”

“.........”

“Nee-sama?”

“Meow! Meow! Meow!”

Contrary to the silent Emma, Ryuu-chan kept yelling. Emma, who had heard what Ryuu-chan was saying, got a bad premonition as she turned to face the whole family, trembling.

“Look... at the letter... addressed to Mother...? I guess?”

...Melsa had departed to Imperial Japan.

The three siblings, formerly Japanese with little religious faith, had no objection to Joshua’s words. What they did not touch would not hurt them[1].

[T/N 1: This is a literal translation of the Japanese idiom, which means not to rock the boat.]

Although the letters piled up into a large amount, when they worked on it together, it didn’t take the family even an hour to get to the last one.

“Hm? Eh? Only the seal on this envelope is still left unopened?”

“Hm?”

“It’s on the very bottom. Did it arrive the day Melsa left? I was running about all that day, so I guess I didn’t see it?”

Melsa’s trip to Imperial Japan had been decided at midnight the day before she left. It was inevitable that Leonard found himself fussing about the next morning.

It’s no wonder that the letter that arrived that morning was left unchecked.

“............bad.........news.........”

William, who held the last letter, slowly turned it around and showed the family its sealing wax.

“Ah.”

“Ah.”

“Ah.”

The black wax seal as black as dripping ink was a letter from the Royal Family.
