Chapter 9 — Cat Goddess Goddess

It wasn't until the hundred-day banquet ended that Thanh Van mysteriously called me into the room. Next to her was a gorgeously dressed woman with red, swollen eyes.

“Tieu Mac, this is the queen of the Chu Dieu clan that I once told you about, Viem Mong.”

“Her egg has been born for three years and still hasn't moved.”

“Their tribe's great witch also checked, but life or death could not find the problem.”

“How about you watch it for her?”

I refuse:

"Actually, I only understand a little, I can't guarantee that I can see the problem."

“It's okay.”

"You can just think of it as going out to relieve your sadness."

“When that time comes, no matter the outcome, I will personally come pick you up.”

She intentionally emphasized the words "in person". My heart immediately felt warm. She was telling the Chu Dieu clan that no matter what the outcome, they must not make things difficult for me. Since Thanh Van has opened her mouth, then we can go on a trip. Queen Chu Dieu left first. We have to comfort little Minh Xa before we can leave. He hummed and didn't want to let me go. I repeatedly assured him that I would definitely return before he finally let me out. The Chu Dieu clan's favorite color is bright red. Therefore, the palace was also decorated mainly with large red gems. As I walked, I silently lamented in my heart. All are pure dove blood red gems, without any impurities. How much money must so many gems be worth? After only two days of not seeing each other, Queen Chu Dieu's face became even more haggard. She pulled me into the interior. The tears I tried to hold back finally fell.

“Tieu Mac, right now I can only rely on you.”

The maid next to me explained:

“Since the Chu Dieu egg has not moved, the leader has not visited the queen for a long time.”

“The elders still want to use the excuse that the egg cannot hatch to remove the young lady from her position as queen.”

“Then raise another woman who has given birth to a baby beast to replace her.”

The story has come to this point, we should still look at the egg first. The egg is peach in color. The Chu Dieu clan relies on the intensity of the red color on the eggshell to judge whether the bloodline is noble or inferior. The leader and queen are both extremely pure fire red. Giving birth to a peach-colored egg already makes others dissatisfied. Unexpectedly, it couldn't even bloom. We go around the egg two or three times. Logically, it must communicate with us. But it's too silent. It was so quiet that it made me panic. Just as I was about to inspect more closely, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared. It is said that her name is Hong Chau, the concubine gave birth on the same day as Viem Mong. She held the cub in her arms and looked at me contemptuously.

"The Huyen Xa clan hypes you up so miraculously."

“Have you seen anything yet?”

Then she pretended to comfort Viem Mong:

“Is this the rumored magical Ragdoll cat?”

"You really believe in such a lowly beast slave."

“Your egg has not moved for three years, have you still not given up?”

“We gave birth on the same day.”

“Look at my little baby, how healthy it is.”

“In my opinion, your blessings are too thin and you are not destined to be a mother.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the little beast in her arms wet her whole body. Hong Chau's face immediately darkened. She stuffed her baby He gave the beast to the maid and quickly returned to change his clothes. Viem Mong was excited and kept crying. She stroked the phoenix hat she brought with her when she got married.

“Is it really true that my blessings are too thin, that's why there are no cubs?”

"If that's the case, tomorrow I will proactively cede the position of queen."

“Wait.”

I interrupted her sadness. Viem Mong forced out a bitter smile.

"You can rest assured."

“I will not let you come here in vain.”

"Even though I'm no longer queen, I can still take out this bit of wealth."

“I don't mean to talk about that.”

“I know why your egg can't hatch.”

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the room surrounded me.

“Miss Mac, have you really found the reason?”

“You're not lying to us, are you?”

“Over the past year, there have been many people who said they had a way, but they were all scammers.”

The person who should have been most excited was Viem Mong, but it was like he was nailed to the spot. Then she covered her mouth and cried silently. Finally, she was waiting for a savior.

“But…”

I intentionally prolonged my voice.

“Tomorrow, the queen still has to announce that she wants to abdicate.”

“Only then will everyone be able to come.”

"Only then will I be able to tell everyone what's wrong with this Chu Dieu egg."

Viet Mong didn't sleep all night. The next morning, she immediately opened the temple door, preparing to give up her position as queen. She looked around. Everyone has arrived. Hong Chau was dressed most splendidly, looking even more like a queen than Viem Mong. She pretended to laugh and said:

“Sister, people must know how to accept their destiny.”

"Your destiny is that you won't be able to oppress me for the rest of your life."

“From now on, it will be your turn to live under this sister's hands.”

"And your other egg, have you found the cause yet?"

“Shouldn't we invite the magician to come?”

“What, she can't be saved?”

The leader Chu Dieu looked at Viem Mong unhappily.

“Didn't you say you had something to announce?”

"I'm here, tell me."

Viem Mong looked at me for help. I signaled her to rest assured. Then I took a deep breath and stood in front of the temple.

“The egg really can't hatch.”

Viem Mong took two steps back, looking at me in disbelief. Her maids also looked at me angrily. Hong Chau curled her lips again and raised her chin slightly. The crowd below immediately became riotous.

“I told you!”

“The queen doesn't have any blessings, she can't even hatch baby animals.”

"What qualifications do you have to be queen?"

“Why hasn't the leader abolished her position as queen yet?”

The screams grew louder and louder. I cleared my throat.

“I just said the egg can't hatch.”

"I didn't say that the egg belonged to the queen?"

“That day, two people gave birth together.”

“Don't rush to conclusions.”
