Linnie glanced at his sister with some concern. He had clearly noticed that Linette had seemed hesitant to speak earlier.
The House of Hearths cannot tolerate betrayal. My sister was hiding something from me, not even from me, and this is something my father would absolutely not allow.
Thinking of her father's harsh and cruel punishments, Linni couldn't help but shudder.
“Linette, you…”
"Don't worry, brother, I'm fine!" Lynette wasn't nervous at all and went upstairs with light steps.
......
"Go ahead, what other discoveries do you want to tell me privately?"
In the study, Arecino remained indifferent. As Lynette's father, it wasn't difficult to discern her thoughts from her micro-expressions.
"That's right, Lu Lin already knows my identity..." What Linette was going to say was naturally what Lu Lin had told her not to let Linette know.
She recounted more details of the camping trip, such as the absurd scene around the campfire and how Lu Lin discovered her identity and asked her to talk to him alone later.
Lu Lin only told Lin Ni not to know, but didn't say that the servants couldn't know, so Lin Ni didn't feel any pressure when she reported it.
However, describing those absurd things that happened around the campfire to her "father," who was also a woman, still made the cat-like girl's pretty face blush.
"Well, what do you think about this?" After listening to Lynette's description, Arecino's expression remained unchanged, as if those embarrassing scenes had not stirred any ripples in her heart.
“I feel like he was using me to send a message to you, Father. Otherwise, he shouldn’t have exposed my identity and then done nothing else, only telling me not to let my brother know but not to let Father know.”
Arecino nodded, quite satisfied with Lynette's answer.
Lynette was unaware of the orders Queen Winter had given to the executors, but Arecino knew that Lu Lin was now actually an ally.
However, the Fools' executives have always believed in doing things their own way, and how to get along with allies varies from person to person. This time, Lu Lin can be considered to have sent a relatively friendly signal to Arecino.
After all, when he's not friendly, he's capable of killing people directly; two executives have already died at his hands, and these are bloody examples.
This was naturally good news for her, since Lu Lin was very powerful and no one wanted to create such a powerful enemy for no reason.
“Linette, you seem to have a good impression of him. Do you like him?” Arecino tapped her brow, her gaze falling on her adopted daughter.
"Huh? No...no!" Lynette never expected her father to suddenly say such a thing, and her heart skipped a beat.
She had indeed developed a vague affection for Lu Lin, and her words during the briefing just now inevitably showed some bias, which Arecino keenly noticed.
"Heh... I've watched you all grow up, do you think I don't know what's on your mind?" Arecino's lips curled slightly, and although she was smiling, Lynette felt immense pressure.
She bowed her head, her voice trembling slightly: "Linette is forever loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, forever loyal to [Father]!"
"Heh... Don't be so nervous. Being loyal to the Empress and to me won't affect your dating and marriage. If you truly love someone, I won't object to you pursuing your own happiness."
I can tell you some information now, but you must keep it a secret and not even tell your brother.
Lu Lin is not Zhi Dong's enemy. He made a secret deal with Her Majesty the Queen a long time ago, and our operation in Fontaine may also need his help and cooperation.
Since this matter has been accomplished in secrecy, our relationship cannot be easily exposed. Therefore, from today onwards, you will be responsible for becoming the link between him and me. This is the task I am giving you.
As for what might happen between you and him during your mission, that's your prerogative and I won't interfere. But one thing is for sure: if I discover any betrayal, you know how strict the family rules are!
"I...I understand!"
Lynette was a little dizzy from the barrage of messages. How did I end up in a relationship by imperial decree while we were chatting?
[Father] has always been strict, cold and ruthless, especially towards those who have ulterior motives. How come she is so easy to talk to this time?
Even after leaving Arecino's study, Lynette still felt a sense of unreality, as if she were in a dream.
Regardless, she was in a good mood. Her identity as a member of the Fatui meant that her emotions were not so free, but she didn't expect that her father would support her.
This really overturned Lynette's understanding of Arecino.
Perhaps the father isn't as terrible as he seems on the surface?
Chapter 502 Inazuma's Two-Day Trip: The Pink-Haired Fox's Surprise Preparations
Linni was a little confused.
Since my younger sister had a deep talk with our father last night, their internal task allocation has changed.
The task of gathering intelligence related to Lu Lin was all assigned to Linette, while Linette was required to focus on gathering intelligence related to the Fontaine prophecy.
This change worried Lin Ni quite a bit. After all, he had already suspected that his younger sister had feelings for Lu Lin. Now that she was in charge of this intelligence, she would inevitably have more contact with Lu Lin.
He doubted whether his younger sister could resist Lu Lin.
However, since the order was personally given by her father, Linni had no room to object. She could only repeatedly warn her sister to be careful of Lu Lin before leaving the mansion with a heavy heart.
After dealing with her nagging brother, Lynette happily got to work and went to Chiori-ya early in the morning to order clothes.
Making custom-made clothes was a pretense; her real intention was to take the opportunity to see Lu Lin.
However, Lu Lin wasn't there today, and she couldn't very well say that she had come to see him, so she placed an order and left.
The matter in Baisong Town has temporarily come to an end. Thorn Rose will develop steadily. With the loyal subordinates left by her father to assist her, Navia doesn't really need to worry too much.
She's very free!
So Lu Lin simply took her out to play.
Given that her recent behavior was becoming more and more like that of a certain pink-haired little fox from Inazuma, Lu Lin had a flash of inspiration and took Navia directly to Narukami Shrine.
The warm and generous Navia and the quirky Yae no Miko hit it off immediately and started chattering away, seemingly engrossed in some unknown endeavor.
Lu Lin took advantage of this free time to spend with the girls in Inazuma.
On the first morning, I spent the day with the Raiden sisters in the main hall of the castle tower. During that time, I also called Mikoto Chiyo and Kitsuri-no-miya to come and help. Even Kujo Sara, who was standing guard at the entrance, couldn't escape.
Inside the main hall, the throne symbolizing the supreme authority of the Thunder God was once again covered with the girls' liquid.
For Kujo Sara and Kitsune Saimiya Chiyo, the familiars of the Thunder God, doing such a thing on the throne was too psychologically stimulating. They became extremely sensitive, and their fighting power plummeted.
So Lu Lin simply brought over all the Inazuma girls, including Ayaka Yomi, Kokoro, Kira, Yoru, and Hisahi Shinobu, and had an Inazuma free-for-all.
Two days and two nights!
The entire castle tower was sealed off by the power of the gods, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
No one knows what happened in the castle tower over the past two days and two nights. Moreover, the main hall of the castle tower has been closed to the public for a long time. The general has moved to other side halls to handle government affairs and receive envoys from other countries.
This makes the main hall of the castle tower even more mysterious in folk legends.
The most common theory is that a powerful demon was sealed in the main hall and was personally suppressed by the general. The story is quite detailed and seems plausible.
After the incident of the entire castle tower area being sealed off for three days, the credibility of this legend has become even higher.
Lu Lin later heard about this legend. If the "powerful monster" refers to him, then the correct version of the story should be that the "powerful monster" Lu Lin suppressed the Thunder God and her retinue all by himself!
......
On the morning of the third day, when Lu Lin left the main hall of the castle tower with a satisfied heart, a group of beautiful girls with smooth skin lay helplessly on the throne, and on the mattress in front of the throne, the scene was extremely erotic.
But one person was missing; Yae no Miko didn't come!
It's unbelievable that the usually audacious and nosy pink-haired fox would miss such a grand occasion, even declining Lu Lin's invitation to come.
As the saying goes, when a fox is quiet, it must be up to no good!
Lu Lin had a premonition that Navia and Yae no Miko were bound to pull off something interesting together, otherwise the pink-haired fox wouldn't have even skipped the battle at the castle tower.
Sure enough, when Lu Lin returned to Narukami Shrine to pick up Navia, the pink-haired fox dressed as a shrine maiden immediately clung to him.
"My dear husband, I want to go to Fontainebleau with you all!"
"What kind of wicked idea does Sister Fox have now?" Lu Lin was genuinely curious about what the two of them had secretly come up with these past two days.
"It's a secret for now, but it's definitely a surprise!" The pink-haired fox kept it a secret.
Lu Lin's anticipation was indeed piqued, but he didn't rush to ask any questions, preferring to leave a little surprise in mind.
He took Navia and the little fox back to Fontaine. The little fox moved into the Rose Lodge with Navia, and it seemed that their surprise wasn't quite finished yet.
After settling the little fox in, Lu Lin teleported to the Thousand Weaving House, where he ran into Lynette.
Lynette has been going to Chiori's shop every day these days. Chiori didn't notice it on the first day, but she naturally realized in the following days that this cat girl's goal was not to order clothes.
Looking at the girl's cute tail and soft, fluffy cat ears, Chiori thought to herself that Kira had finally met her match.
Fontaine's cat is just as cute as Inatsume's cat!
But Chiori didn't say anything, pretending not to know and treating Linette normally until Lu Lin returned.
“Look, the little girl you’ve been luring around the shop for days, go and entertain her!” Chiori was quite busy these past few days and didn’t have time to spend with Lu Lin, so she directly pushed him to Linette.
Lu Lin pinched Qianzhi's cheek and came up behind Linette, who was sitting in the living room in a daze.
Lynette doesn't like talking to strangers. When she's waiting for Lu Lin and has nothing to do, she pretends to be a dazed machine to avoid useless socializing. She looks quite cute staring blankly at him.
"Hey! What's Miss Lynette doing?" Lu Lin deliberately slowed his footsteps, startling Fontaine Cat.
"Ah! No...nothing, I came to have some clothes made for Chiori-neechan!"
When Lynette saw the person she had been waiting for for three days finally emerge, she was naturally overjoyed, but she was too embarrassed to say directly that she had come to see him, and she seemed a little awkward.
If Linni saw this scene, her eyes would probably blaze with anger. Her sister, who was always aloof and cold to outsiders, was actually showing such a shy and flustered expression.
"Oh, you're here to order clothes from Qianzhi? I thought you were here for a massage. Well, I'll be going now!" Lu Lin sighed, feigning disappointment, and turned to leave.
"Hey... wait!" Linette hadn't expected Lu Lin to do this, and hurriedly called out to him.
"what happened?"
"Well... well, since we've run into each other, a massage would be nice, I... I have time today!" Lynette's cute little face was flushed, and it was clear that she was a little overwhelmed by Lu Lin's tugging.
"Did you just happen to run into me and get a massage? So you didn't come here specifically to see me after all..." Lu Lin's eyes grew increasingly dejected.
"No...no, I came here specifically to see you!" Lynette realized he was deliberately teasing her, pouted, and finally told the truth.
"Then come with me, I'll take you to a great place!"
Chapter 503 Lynette's cat ears are so nice to rub
Lu Lin grasped Lynette's hand, and the cat-like girl's body tensed up slightly, but she did not struggle.
The cat-like girl's small hands were soft and delicate, and felt a little cool to the touch, which was quite nice.
Lu Lin pulled her to a secluded corner and teleported her directly to the Dust Song Pot.
"Where...is this?" The girl felt as if she had only blinked once, and the scene before her eyes had changed dramatically.
"This is my own little world, it's called the Dust Song Pot..."
Lu Lin led Linette by the hand to tour the scenery inside the pot, and also gave Linette a brief introduction to the basic information about the Dust Song Pot.
He also prepared a building specifically for Lynette, located in the same place as Chizuru and Navia's residence.
Next to Lynette's residence was an empty room, which was prepared for Clorinde. They were good friends, and arranging their residences together would make it convenient for them to visit and communicate.
"This information can all be shared with the [servant]," Lu Lin added after the introduction.
As his strength grows, the secret of the Dust Song Pot no longer needs to be kept so tightly guarded. It doesn't matter if the [servant] knows about it; at most, she will present it to the Winter Empress.
Both the servants and the Winter Queen are targets he intends to invite, so letting them know in advance won't have much of an impact.
"You...you really want to establish a connection with [Father] through me?" Lynette pursed her lips, a little unhappy.
It's really hard to be happy when someone you like is openly using you as a tool.
"Hehe, establishing contact is just a side thing. The most important thing is that I like cats!" Lu Lin could easily see what Lynette cared about, and he smiled as he reached out and ruffled Lynette's fluffy cat ears.
"I...I'm not a cat!" Understanding the implied meaning in Lu Lin's words, a blush flashed across Lynette's seemingly indifferent face.
“Then you are a lovely kitten girl!” Lu Lin’s hand was still rubbing Lynette’s ear.
Cat ears are one of Lynette's most sensitive areas, and now that Lu Lin is holding them in his hands, the warmth from his hands makes the cat girl feel weak.
"Mmm...!" The girl's soft moan carried a hint of alluring sweetness.
"This house is a gift for you. You can come in anytime from now on. Come on, let's go see the bedroom and I'll give you a massage while we're at it."
After enjoying the soft cat ears for a while, Lu Lin led Linette by the hand into the bedroom.
The bedroom is decorated in a simple and elegant style, and the most eye-catching thing is the big bed in the middle, which is really big!
"What...what should I do?" The cat girl had lost all interest in sightseeing. She stood by the bed and rubbed her hands together helplessly.
Lu Lin did not answer immediately, but instead looked at the cat-like girl in front of him.
