The cat boss happily rolled around on the sofa.

Seeing how happy it was, Lan Qi also felt satisfied. His efforts for the entire morning had brought happiness to everyone, and that was enough.

"Who is Tata?"

Sigrid, who was beside the sofa, heard a new name and couldn't help but glance at Lan Qi and the cat boss.

"My kid, meow!"

The cat boss immediately sat up alertly and replied.

It was afraid that saying too much might lead to misunderstandings with Sid.

It vividly remembered the scene when Sid and Hugh Ba almost fought last time.

Sigrid stared at the cat boss for a while, making the cat boss more and more flustered.

She seemed to understand something.

"Can't underestimate you, Holy Son."

Sigrid said to Lan Qi with a playful smile.

So, the dignified and mature headmaster actually had other women besides that Miss Miri Ann Milford priestess?

The cat boss shrank into a ball.

Lan Qi just kept his mouth in a straight line and didn't reply.

"Quick, tell me, who is Tata?"

Sigrid picked up the cat boss, placed it on her lap, and sat a little closer to Lan Qi, lowering her voice to ask.

"Sid, have you read *Holy War Romance*?"

Lan Qi finally turned his head and asked, looking directly into Sigrid's eyes.

"...Of course. I was bored these days and just finished reading it at Gloria's house."

Sigrid thought for a moment and replied, though confused.

This was a book published at the beginning of this year by the Imperial Royal Magic Academy Press, written by Sidor Arundel, an associate professor in the school's history department.

Sigrid had previously heard the Holy Son mention that he had tried to win over Baroness Chloris Berenhard of the Berenhard family for the Batian faction.

Getting to know this Baroness Chloris Berenhard was facilitated by Sidor Arundel, an associate professor in the history department of Protos Royal Magic Academy.

And now, Baroness Chloris Berenhard had been placed under house arrest in the Duke's mansion for treason. The information she had told Lan Qi more than a month ago—"Morodian Berenhard, the holder of the [Primordial Tablet - Undead], is missing, and the current Morodian Berenhard is a puppet she temporarily put on stage"—was also of dubious authenticity.

Even after Baroness Chloris Berenhard was subjected to magical restraint and high surveillance by the empire, Morodian Berenhard was still active in the imperial capital, Herrom, indicating that the current Morodian Berenhard could not be the puppet controlled by the Baroness.

If they really wanted to confirm the identity of Morodian Berenhard, the method was actually very simple. Just ask Morodian Berenhard to use any undead magic to see if it would trigger the effect of the [Primordial Tablet - Undead], and they could determine if it was him.

As for Associate Professor Sidor Arundel, he had disappeared before Baroness Chloris Berenhard had problems.

So Sigrid was curious and looked for books written by this associate professor at Gloria's house, and unexpectedly, it was quite a good way to pass the time.

But she didn't know why the Holy Son asked her about this book at this moment.

"One of the heroines in this book is either eating or holding something to eat every time she appears. I think this character is more like Tata."

Lan Qi explained unhurriedly.

"...I see."

Sigrid suddenly felt that she understood.

"Then I understand. It's nothing, I'm just asking, afraid you'd be deceived by bad women."

She fanned the back of her hand, indicating that she no longer intended to dwell on this topic with the Holy Son.

The cat boss stopped talking.

It felt that Sid didn't seem to take Tata seriously at all...

"..."

Sigrid looked at the clock on the living room wall, feeling that the Holy Son had been with her for quite a while.

"You're going to be busy later, right?"

She leaned on the sofa and asked leisurely.

"I have to go back to the Redmond Building before three o'clock. Some visitors need to see me in my main body, and then later, I'll meet with the Duke."

Lan Qi muttered to himself, thinking.

There was still a lot of work left today. After all, the election was approaching, and now every day was spent perfecting the final preparations.

Hüperion had successfully recovered the [Great Poet], and was now resting at her and her adopted sister Misyura's house.

Later, he himself would go to the reception room of the Redmund Building to wait for the arrival of the three Great Demon clans.

"Holy Son, if there's anything else you need my help with in the future, don't hesitate to tell me at any time."

Sigrid gently stroked the little black cat's smooth back and looked at Lan Qi.

In the past few days, besides dispatching three trusted direct soldiers to the Holy Son, she had spent the rest of her time helping the Holy Son make cards.

Although Sigrid just sat in the corner of the workshop reading or sleeping, she didn't dislike spending time in the same room with the Holy Son.

"I'll continue making cards for the next three days. I'll come to Gloria's house to find you then."

Lan Qi nodded.

Now that he had retrieved the intelligent card-making tool, [Great Poet], he could supervise the Great Poet to help make new magic cards after going to the Endless Library tomorrow to get the pink sacred ancient collection optional magic item rewarded by Herrom Prison.

These were all things that had to be completed before the Bishop election day. Before Sigrid's seal was lifted, they still only had one General-level combat power at most. Although it might have exceeded Askesan's expectations, he also had mysterious supporters behind him.

"Then I'm going to take a nap now. I'm always sleepy now, even though I never used to let anyone see me sleeping..."

After listening to Lan Qi's words, Sigrid leaned back on the sofa again, her hand still on the little black cat, her voice becoming more and more lazy until it turned into a murmur.

The quiet afternoon sunlight outside the window was blocked by passing heavy clouds, and the silhouette of the curtains was reflected on the dark brown floor, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

Sigrid seemed to have been sleepy before Lan Qi came, and until now, she gradually completely relaxed, and finally felt the drowsiness surging into her mind at this nap time.

The time in the living room seemed to slow down briefly, filled with a peaceful breathing sound of an afternoon nap.

Lan Qi didn't say anything, nor did he leave.

He occasionally looked at the cat, and the cat kept looking at him.

The cat boss seemed to be curious as to why Lan Qi hadn't left yet, but was sitting here waiting.

During this time, Sid seemed to wake up a few times, and every time her hazy eyes opened slightly, she saw Lan Qi beside her, so she fell asleep again with peace of mind.

Just like that, Lan Qi waited until the clock pointed to two forty, and finally stood up gently, said goodbye to Gloria and the cat boss, and walked towards the outside of the living room.
