Chapter 60: Forever Lost Her

Who knew that Lisa took the initiative to grab the payment first, and said, "Sister, I just want to make friends with you, I’m not trying to take advantage of you, I can buy this dress myself."

The cute round-faced young girl had a firm face.

It made Carlotta too embarrassed to force the payment, and only asked Lisa what she was going to do next after she bought the dress.

Lisa then said, "I want to find a job in the imperial capital ... but, after looking around in the morning, I can’t seem to find anything suitable."

Carlotta thought for a moment and asked Lisa what her ideal job would look like.

Lisa looked at Carlotta shyly, "Sister Holy Female, can I work for you? Being a waitress is fine, I’ll try my best to learn, just please let me stay by your side."

"It’s okay." Carlotta agreed quickly.

The shopping was pretty much done anyway, just in time to get back.

She took Henry’s hand, and after some thought, took Lisa as well, and together they boarded the Phoenix.

Once on board, Lisa asked if she could look around the Phoenix, and Carlotta agreed.

Then she leaned on Henry’s shoulder and watched Lisa’s tiny figure bounce around in the Phoenix, looking left and right.

"I seemed as curious as she was when I first got on the Phoenix."

Henry also smiled slightly as he remembered that moment when he had driven the Phoenix and sent Carlotta to pick up her grandmother.

"Carlotta just looked around with her eyes." The latter words about Lisa were left unsaid.

Carlotta knew Henry was avoiding embarrassment.

She kneaded Henry’s white and slender fingers, as if she was playing with some fun toy, and whispered, "Let her learn how to be a waitress in the Duke’s mansion first."

Having said that, Carlotta’s azure eyes stared at Lisa without blinking.

In the post-apocalyptic world, their family was intact, and later on, they even established a base, with their parents becoming the head and deputy head of the base, and their brothers becoming the key members of the base.

The zombies were evolving out there, and later she heard that a base was overrun by zombies.

The reason for the attack was that a zombie with shape-shifting ability turned herself into a little girl’s appearance, used human kindness to blend into the base, and opened the base door from the inside.

That’s when Carlotta was scared, what if the people around her were also zombie shapeshifters?

Dad said not to let fear eat away at the heart. It’s okay to verify suspicions one by one.

Henry said Lisa was from District D. Lisa herself said she came to the Empire to look for a job.

But looking for a job is looking for a job, how could it be so coincidental that she needed help with her zipper, and how could she speak so directly about going to her dukedom?

There was something wrong with Lisa.

The kind of questions that would take time to validate.

It might be better to put her in the eye of the beholder to see exactly what she was up to than to keep her in the shadows.

As Carlotta thought about this, she didn’t notice that the large palm in her hand was already reddening from her touch.

And Henry’s face, too, was tinged with some pink blush.

There were also sensitive areas on the palm of his hand, and Carlotta was really testing his willpower by touching his hand around.

There were other people in the car, and he couldn’t be intimate with Carlotta, it would seem disrespectful to Carlotta.

But to take his hand back might upset Carlotta.

Henry was in a dilemma and could only cross his legs early.

Carlotta was leaning over Henry’s left shoulder, and Henry’s change in position made her sense that something was wrong.

She looked at Henry sideways with a slight suspicion in her eyes.

It wasn’t until she saw the blush coloring Henry’s pale face that she remembered that she seemed to have been unconsciously playing with Henry’s hand.

How could Henry be shy about playing with a finger when more intimate things had been done?

What can I do if it’s so cute? Wanted to kiss, but there were people around.

Carlotta smiled and linked fingers with Henry.

The gesture of the two sitting in chairs, also to stick together and hold hands, was clearly visible to Lisa through the glass.

Her eyes were dark and she couldn’t stop staring at Carlotta’s face.

Lisa’s expression went unnoticed by Carlotta.

The car quickly pulled into the parking lot of the Duke’s mansion.

Getting out of the car and then taking a mobility scooter was the only way to get to the front of the Duke’s mansion.

It was actually a long walk inside, so along the way, Carlotta heard Lisa keep lamenting, "Wow, sister, I’ve never seen such a big house."

"Oh my god, is that painting real? I’ve only seen it in history books."

"Sister isn’t that a bit rude of me? The soldiers in your house and the attendants are all looking at me ..."

Saying that, Lisa suddenly got scared and pinched the corner of Carlotta’s coat with a panicked face.

Carlotta patted Lisa’s hand and comforted, "Don’t be afraid, they are just curious about you."

Lisa was then relieved, her big eyes blinking suddenly said, "Can I hold hands with my sister too?"

Carlotta nodded, "Of course."

She led Lisa into the waiting parlor of the Duke’s mansion.

As a result, at a glance, she saw that Richard was sitting on the sofa, clicking on something on the virtual screen with an icy expression.

Not having had much rest last night, the short-haired white tiger orc’s eyes showed some fatigue, and the corners of his eyes were still a little green and black.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Richard inclined his head to look at the doorway, and then his cold vision became gentle as he called out, "Carlotta, Henry, you’re back."

His tone and eyes were still the same as before.

Carlotta, however, subconsciously avoided Richard’s precise line of sight that landed on her, and her eyes drifted for a moment before finally landing on Richard’s forehead.

Richard was still wearing the white uniform belonging to a Prince, probably to make his entire person appear more intimidating, the bangs that always fell down before were combed upwards, giving him the majesty of a Prince while also completely revealing his smooth and full forehead.

This made the kitten mark right in the center of his forehead look even more obvious.

Carlotta felt a pang of discomfort, that mark looked like evidence of her bullying the males later.

"Well, Royal, Royal Uncle, we’re back." It was so strange to call out for Royal Uncle at this moment.

But if you can’t call out for Royal Uncle, then what else can you call out for?

Carlotta secretly saw Richard again, and only felt like she was back in her student days, the student who did something wrong and was caught by the teacher, and was unconsciously weak.

Henry did not look as burdened as Carlotta, and asked naturally, "Royal uncle, is that matter already finished?"

With outsiders around, Henry didn’t directly say what that matter was.

"Well, it’s busy." Richard’s gaze once again fell on Carlotta and regretfully moved away from Carlotta to ask about Lisa’s identity.

Carlotta spoke of the lone female she’d met while shopping and wanted to find her a job at the Duke’s mansion.

That counted as a proper thing to do.

Carlotta temporarily forgot about marking Richard’s embarrassment and blinked twice more at Richard before saying, "Royal uncle, I don’t really understand the positions that should be available in the dukedom, what do you think would be better to arrange a job for her?"

It was only last night that I had intimate contact with Carlotta, and at that time, although I was controlled by drugs and my body became weak and less conscious.

However, after the subsequent return to normal, those memories appeared clearly in the middle of his mind.

Watching Carlotta blink at this moment, Richard couldn’t help but recall Carlotta’s watery eyes that were caught in lust.

Richard, who had originally thought of naturally transitioning his relationship with Carlotta, also became uncomfortable.

After all, with his age on the line, Richard quickly squashed that discomfort.

He stared at Lisa for a while and gave the answer to Carlotta’s question, "Since you’re here to find a job, let’s start as a bottom waiter."

After saying this, Richard directly asked someone to bring Lisa down.

Lisa frowned and looked at Carlotta pitifully, "Sister, I, I’ll work hard."

Carlotta smiled, "Well, good, when you’re familiar with it, I’ll transfer you to my side as my personal attendant."

At these words, Lisa’s eyes steeply lit up, her eyes filled with anticipation, "Then I’ll work twice as hard."

Lisa followed the attendant and left.

Seeing her walk away, the smile on Carlotta’s face tightened for a moment and she patted her cheeks, "Fake smiles are also a skillful job."

After muttering this, Carlotta squeezed out another slightly stiff smile, "That, Royal Uncle, Henry and I will go upstairs first."

Richard took off his glasses and rubbed his brow when he heard this.

He could understand Carlotta’s desire to avoid him when she saw him, but it had already happened, and if he let Carlotta avoid him today, he would never be able to find a chance to talk about it later.

Therefore, Richard said, "Carlotta, things have already happened. How about, we try to get along like mates?"

With such direct words, Carlotta could no longer escape in peace.

She was still holding Henry’s hand, and under Richard’s gaze that carried some offensive meaning, for a moment she didn’t know whether it was better to let go of Henry or to keep holding on.

Both Henry and Richard could see Carlotta’s discomfort and figured that if there was a crack in the floor, Carlotta would have no hesitation in hiding in it by now and never coming out again.

"Carlotta, why don’t you and Royal Uncle talk alone." Henry directly said, "I happen to have some things to do."
