Chapter 121 Cake
Due to the decree that the cardinal was shut down for maintenance, Funina has been getting off work much later recently, but she has not given up her self-disciplined life of buying a small cake every day.
After eating the cake, she planned to walk around the city alone to relax a little.
Just as she was walking alone in the evening breeze, her nose suddenly twitched and she clearly smelled the aroma of cake coming from not far away.
Even though she had just eaten a piece of cake, she suddenly felt her stomach growling and immediately followed the smell.
I saw a piece of exquisite cake quietly placed on a wooden bench on the street, and next to it was a black and white kitten.
"Hello, little cutie, why are you here alone so late? Is this cake yours?"
Furninna came closer and greeted the kitten next to the cake.
But the kitten seemed a little shy. When it saw Funina appear, it subconsciously stepped back and wanted to jump off the chair.
"Oh? You little thing, come here!"
Finding that the kitten was shy, Furninna stretched out her arms and wanted to pick it up.
"Meow!"
But as Furninda approached, the kitten finally turned around and jumped off the chair.
"How dare you run? Stop right there!"
Furninna seemed to like cats very much. Seeing this, she quickly caught up with the skinny kitten, picked it up and returned to the chair.
"Kittens can't eat cakes. I have some snacks here to exchange for this cake. If you eat it, I'll take it as your consent."
Sitting down next to the cake, although Funina was tempted by the taste of the cake, she still took out some snacks she had with her, unwrapped them and handed them to the kitten.
The kitten sniffed the biscuit-like snack in Funina's hand, and then started to eat it with peace of mind.
Seeing that it was eating so happily, Funina put it on the chair and then looked at the cake next to it.
Now that the cats agree, this piece of cake belongs to the Water God.
Thinking of this, Funina happily picked up the cake, picked up the fork prepared on the plate and began to enjoy it.
"Delicious~ Such delicious cakes are so rare~"
After taking a bite, Funina couldn't help but narrow her eyes and evaluate it.
However, what Furninna didn't know was that behind the flowers in the green belt next to her, the attention of the two executives was all focused on her.
“It actually came here…”
Alechino was a little surprised, it seemed that he didn't know Furninna well enough.
If she could do it all over again, she would now consider moving the first of Liu Bai's eight charges, from lightest to heaviest, up a few notches.
"Anyway, now is the best time. We are so close to the Water God and there is no one around to witness it. Lerch, your chance has come."
After being slightly surprised, Alechino immediately looked at Liu Bai who was staring at Finina in a trance and reminded her.
Although he could do it himself, the ability Liu Bai demonstrated at the time was obviously more effective than the "heart-piercing" method taught by the Queen.
"Ah, okay..."
Liu Bai came back to his senses slightly and tried to raise his hand towards Funina.
"What are you laughing at? Bring that frog to justice! I want Villette to judge it!"
"Wow...my little cake..."
'You mean you named this cat Fernina? Damn it, I'm going to make a new law!'
"So kittens can't eat cake... Sorry, I didn't mean it..."
When Liu Bai raised his hand, fragments of conversation flowed into his mind from somewhere, and he put his hand down unconsciously.
"I understand."
Seeing that Liu Bai did not move but put his hand down again, Alechino understood something.
Then she raised her black right hand, with red energy gathering in it.
Such a great opportunity, even though the other party was completely unprepared, she would not miss it at all.
"Ah~ No, kittens can't eat cakes, these are all mine!"
The kitten was still not satisfied after eating the snacks and wanted to eat the cake in Funina's hand. Funina had to hold the half-eaten cake to hide from it.
But the next moment, a black shadow with red light flashing in its eyes suddenly rushed over and stabbed its red hand into Funina's chest.
It happened so suddenly that Funina didn't react at all.
“Wow?!”
When Alechino pulled his hand away from Finnina's chest, Finnina screamed and fell to the ground. The half-eaten cake fell to the ground, and the kitten ran away with its fur standing on end.
"..."
Alechino looked at her empty hands. She seemed to have sensed a breath of curse from Finina's body.
"Who are you? What are you going to do..."
"Don't kill me, please..."
Finina backed away on the ground with a look of horror in her eyes. This was the first time in all those years that she had been assassinated.
The failure to obtain the Heart of God proved that the Heart of God was not in Finina, and Alechino knew that there was no point in continuing.
With some guesses in her mind, she glanced at Funina on the ground, then turned and left.
Finina looked up at Alechino leaving, but she could only hold her chest with her hands and her body trembled continuously.
The aura of Alechino was too terrifying. Just now, Finina felt that she might die at any time.
"Let's go, God's heart is not with her."
Returning to the green belt, Alechino reminded Liu Bai.
But when she looked carefully into the green belt, she found that Liu Bai had disappeared at some point.
……
After Alechino left, Finina didn't dare to stay there, and quickly fled back to the Momang Palace and hid in her bedroom.
"Woo..."
Burying into bed, the frightened Funina cried out of fear, but she didn't dare cry too loudly for fear of being heard by people outside.
She couldn't understand why someone wanted to assassinate her. At this moment, the only thing she felt in her heart was fear and grievance.
"Fufu~ wake up and eat cake~!"
After an unknown amount of time, a voice that sounded like an auditory hallucination suddenly rang in her ears.
"What a familiar voice..."
Hearing the voice, Funina quickly lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed with tears on her face.
She looked around the room and found a piece of cake on the table.
The cake didn’t look good, but Funina always felt it looked familiar.
After wiping the tears from her face with her sleeve, Furninna put on her shoes and got out of bed.
"You must be sad that the cake fell just now. I made you a new one."
There was a piece of paper on the cake with this sentence written on it.
Such familiar handwriting...
This cake is also...
Looking at the cake on the table, Funina was a little confused.
And she obviously shouldn't have an appetite right now, but she still picked up the fork and took a sip.
"Well……"
The sweet cream made her squint her eyes.
Over the years, the only thing that allowed her to relax was tasting desserts.
……
"Girl, I went to someone else's shop and made a cake myself. Do you want to try it?"
At the Northland Bank, Liu Bai pushed open the door and walked into his rest room. Holding the cake in his hand, he called out to Nashida who was studying the Fontaine Law.
"Did you make it yourself?"
