Chapitre 96: TO THE DESERT

"You, kitty, there are no mice in the desert. Are you sure you can handle it? You are a city cat, aren't you?" Arthur asked her.

His sudden question startled Veronica. 'What mouse? I don't want a mouse!' She shook her head vigorously.

Arthur chuckled at her reaction. "Do you not like mice? What kind of cat are you? Oh right, your kind is a natural enemy to mice. But, cats eat mice though. Why don't you give it a try?"

In reply, Veronica shook her head once again. Even if she died, she wouldn't eat a mouse.

Arthur mentioned, "You must be from a rich family. Your owner put on a fancy collar on you. Why did you leave them? Hmm?"

Veronica didn't have to look at the collar on her neck. It was the green gem necklace she had regularly worn. After talking to Leticia, she slipped into her room and grabbed her locket before leaving the castle. Then, she asked Felix to make it into a cat collar. With that gem, Felix made her a decent collar.
