"The feeling of someone paying is the most wonderful thing in the world." Catherine's long black hair was soaked on her shoulders, wearing a thin silk nightgown, lying lazy on the soft chair beside the fireplace, with her right hand bent to support her head, and a glass of red wine emitting a faint fragrance in her left hand. Under the cover of the silk nightgown, her slender thighs were round and toned, and her straight calves were half mischievously exposed from the hem of the nightgown. The wheat-colored skin shone a subtle luster under the light of the firelight of the fireplace. Catherine half closed her eyes, smelled the scent of the red wine with her face intoxicated, and murmured as if she was half asleep and half awake: "This kind of life is really enjoyable. She spends the afternoon like an ordinary noble girl, waiting for the dance time after night."

"Is that?" Vivian had just finished taking a shower, sitting opposite Catherine in a bath towel, her shriveled limbs and thin shoulders were exposed, and she looked not much different from a dehydrated mummy. On the inside of Vivian's thin right thigh and inside of her knees, there were two scars the size of gold coins. They were traces left by a few days of riding a horse. Through the damage to the skin on her knees, she could vaguely see the white knee joints. Vivian looked as if nothing had happened, holding a small white porcelain

The medicine bottle lowered her head and applied medicine to herself. When she heard Catherine's sigh, she looked up and said, "I think ordinary noble girls would never hang a thin sword on their waists when they were wearing pajamas, and would not tie emergency medicine to their thighs even when they were taking a shower. Of course, what they were most likely to do was to lie on the chair, not flowers, dolls and jewelry next to the chair, but a 20-kilogram metal shield. Well, is this your new jewelry for your sister? It's quite novel."

"Vivian, I think you've learned bad things from Lina recently." Catherine suddenly felt that the taste of the wine had worsened. She said with a bitter face: "Would you please let me indulge in this atmosphere for a while?"

"Give up, sister." Vivian skillfully tied up the wound with the medicine with bandages, and bandaged Yu Yu and attacked Catherine: "You probably can't get rid of these things in your life. I think even if you retire like Rachel and the others in a few decades, these habits will never be changed."

"Oh." Catherine sighed discouragedly, stood up and put it on the low table that was casually placed beside her. She walked to Vivian: "It's too realistic, it's not a good thing."

"As a wizard and a scholar, accepting reality is the most basic quality." Vivian raised her head and looked at Catherine's sweet little girl, turned around and lay on her recliner and said, "Please, sister."

Catherine lifted a corner of the bath towel wrapped in Vivian, and there were also two wounds slightly larger than gold coins on Vivian's buttocks. Catherine's eyes shrank, and her hand holding the medicine bottle trembled slightly. She stretched out her fingers and gently stroked the skin near the wound and said, "This time the wound is bigger than before."

"It's okay. It's common for big and small." Vivian said indifferently: "It's okay if you apply medicine."

"Do you think I'm a fool? I can't tell you about the wear from the outside and from the inside out? This kind of wound that was worn through the bones from the inside is the most difficult to heal. I hope Lina will come over quickly." Although he knew that Vivian couldn't feel it, Catherine slapped her hard on the butt, and then carefully used her little finger to lift the skin around the wound and carefully poured the external healing potion into the inside of the wound.

"Thank you, sister." When Catherine used tape to fix the wound, Vivian jumped out of the chair and moved a few times, hugged Catherine with satisfaction and kissed her heavily.

"Go away, go away, you're so slutty." Catherine wiped her cheek hard and said with a smile: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Do you want to go shopping?" Vivian asked back, "I'm quite interested, but I think you may..."

"To be honest, I was very curious, but after listening to the introduction, I suddenly lost interest." Catherine opened the window and let the cold wind dispel the smell of medicine in the room, but she crawled back to the fireplace to keep warm: "Although this place looks like a paradise for tourists, it is difficult for me to be interested in the blood and death hidden behind these prosperity. But it is good to go out and get familiar with the environment in advance will also help our tasks."

"Then let's go and change your clothes quickly." Vivian couldn't hide her happiness and couldn't close her smile: "I've been waiting for this sentence for several hours."

"You guy." Catherine opened the closet and took out the neatly placed scales one by one: "I know where you want to go. I was wondering just now in the car, you could actually resist going for a walk without it."

"The mission should be prioritized at that time." Vivian had already replaced the robe for going out with an amazing speed. The unbearable body was completely wrapped in a thick robe again: "Precious medicine, rare materials, powerful magical products, which are the holy land that every mage will yearn for. Sister, hurry up, I can't wait."

Catherine glared at Vivian and reached out to press a button on one side of the room. Vivian looked at Katherine's actions strangely and asked, "What is this button used for? I haven't noticed it before."

"Call someone to beat you up." Catherine said while tidying up her scales: "Go and stand up, don't mess with me."

As he was speaking, a side door in the room opened, and two waiters walked in respectfully in the uniforms of the hotel. The hotel room belongs to the suite, and after entering the room is a porch. On the left side of the porch is a safe made of all metal to store luggage and valuables for guests, and on the right is a servient room for the rich people who brought the servants to the City of Innocence. After passing the porch, the second floor is the living room where Catherine and Vivian are located, for guests to use for daily living and meeting guests. There is a door on the side of the living room, and behind the door is the standby room for the close-fitting maid, and the room has a small door connected to the outside world. Walking from the living room and further inside is the last bedroom, and the master's bathroom is connected to the bedroom.

"We are going to go out for a walk and go to the ninth district, so you can prepare too." Catherine gave the order naturally: "We have already notified Swin with the resonance crystal. You can go outside and watch it. When the carriage comes, we will notify us."

"Yes." The waiters agreed in unison, and the waiters with short hair quickly ran out of the gate. The waiters with long hair consciously helped Catherine to organize her armor next to her. Catherine opened her arms and naturally enjoyed the waiters' professional dress service. It was not until the waiters with long hair tidy up that they did the final inspection in person.

"Very good." Catherine nodded with satisfaction, looked at the long-haired maid and asked, "Speaking of it, I haven't asked your names yet."

"I'm pansy." The long-haired maid lowered her head and replied, "The short-haired one is my sister Mimosa."

"Uh, I'm asking for your names." Catherine smiled bitterly, "It's not a job code."

"This is our name, the full name." said the long-haired maid.

"Sorry, Pansy." Catherine immediately understood. She could think of the name that was obviously not a parent, which represented the past of the two young girls: "Are you sisters?"

"Yes. sisters." Pansy replied: "We are twins. Because we look very similar, we deliberately cut our hair into different styles. After working here, we deliberately put different makeup to distinguish them."

"This is a good idea," Catherine said with a smile, "But I'm a little curious, how did you come into the City of Innocence? What unforgivable crimes can you commit at such a young age?"

"We were born here." Pansy said patiently with a professional smile on her face: "Our mother should be the one here."

"Should?" Catherine asked.

"Well, when we were five years old, maybe four years old, we were too young at that time. There was no accurate concept of time, even if we were five years old, she died when we were almost five years old." Pansy did not talk about the sadness of her parents at that time, and said as usual: "She rarely talked to us when she was still alive. So we don't know if she was always here, and we don't even know if she is really a mother."

"Well, this is really..." Catherine shook her head gently and said, "How did she die?"

"I'm going to die of stoop." Pansy's smile was a little stiff, but she still answered truthfully: "She should have been hungry for a few days at that time. Anyway, Mimosa and I had been hungry for a few days, and then I stole a large piece of beef from somewhere. A big piece. In order to avoid others finding out and killing people to seize food, she cooked the big piece of meat and gave it to me and Mimosa, and couldn't help eating the rest. And because I was so thirsty, I drank a lot of water, so I was so hungry that night."

"This, this, this..." Catherine really didn't know how to evaluate it, so she could only change the topic: "In theory, although the environment here is a bit dangerous, it's not enough to eat."

"We were born in the first district." Pansy finally showed a little bit of the feelings that they should have when they were old and said with some distress: "It is a dark alley area, which is different from other places. People who live there are all groups of people with no strength or ability. They are either disabled, sick, chased and killed and dare not go out, or some women who are half-crazy like their mothers. Anyway, there are about 10,000 people living in that area, most of them are a group of waste, and they struggle barely on the brink of hunger and death every day. Sometimes they can kill each other in order to grab a piece of bread. Fortunately, Mimosa and I were selected by the owners here when we were ten years old and were lucky enough to leave there, otherwise we would be like them soon."

"Why not go to other districts?" Vivian asked incomprehensiblely: "Is anyone stopping you?"

"That's not, but there is nothing there. There is no strong organization behind it, and I can't do anything. I'll starve to death in other areas. It's better to stay in the dark alley area and have a place to live." Pansy said with a wry smile: "Although there are several small organizations in the dark alley area, those organizations only dare to crouch in their own area to squeeze people in the dark alley area, and they don't dare to go outside at all, so it's even more impossible to get an income."

"Wait." Catherine suddenly thought of something: "You said you and your sister grew up in the dark alley area? Then you should be very familiar with that area."

"Of course, I still have this confidence." Pansy nodded and replied.
