Mystery: The Stars Returner

Before Hastur got out of the car and walked into the door of Earl Hall's house, the big golden retriever Susie ran out from inside, giving Hastur a knowing look as he ran.

Well, was he caught peeking at a banned book?

Hastur instantly understood Susie’s look of help and signaled it not to worry.

Even though they were banned books, they were just some books that Audrey did not allow Susie to read. They were not forbidden knowledge.

"Wang."

Susie very obediently turned around and led Hasta from the front.

Entering Count Hall's house, Audrey and Countess Hall stood together. When she saw Susie, she raised her eyebrows slightly and secretly gave Hastur a small look. In front of Countess Hall, she did not Investigate Susie's secret reading.

After dinner, Countess Hall naturally asked Audrey to lead Hasta to visit the back garden. As for Count Hall, he did not come back for dinner tonight.

When the two were alone, Audrey pouted her lips slightly and pretended to be angry: "Is there something Mr. Hastur is hiding from me?"

"Susie likes it, so naturally I can only meet its small requirements."

Hastur betrayed Susie without any hesitation. This made Susie who was walking in front stiffen. She looked back at Hastur who betrayed her, and then fell to the ground in a funny way, curling up and looking prepared. The look of being struck.

"Look, Susie's miserable appearance is so irresistible."

Susie only felt another cold flying knife stabbed into her heart, and she couldn't help but let out a sad whimper.

"Okay, I don't blame you."

Audrey lowered her body and reached out to touch Susie, telling her not to be so nervous and worried.

"Wang..."

Susie whimpered, and secretly gave Hastur a look of understanding, and Hastur also made a scissor hand gesture towards it.

"Do you really think that I don't know that you are deliberately trying to mistreat me?" Audrey patted Susie on the head angrily, "You still want to join forces with Mr. Hastur to deceive me again, you should be beaten."

"Woo..."

In response, Hastur could only give Susie a helpless look.

After the interlude, Hasta and Audrey were sitting in a small pavilion in the garden chatting. The surrounding light yellow ambient lights were on, making the entire garden look particularly quiet.

The two talked about the recent major events in Backlund, some daily life, and occasionally some occult knowledge.

It wasn't until Earl Hall returned that Hastur and Audrey ended their unfinished chat.

After chatting with Count Hall in the study about the development of the situation in the Kingdom of Loen and the countries in the Northern Continent, Hastur left Count Hall at around nine o'clock.

Looking at the direction Hastur left, Countess Hall sighed in a low voice: "You guys don't look like a couple in love."

Audrey's face turned red, she held Countess Hall's arm and said with a smile: "That's good."

Taking it easy and accompanying each other, such a plain and enjoyable relationship is what she wants, instead of being like those infatuated men and women who have to be tired of being together all the time.

……

After returning home, Hastur had just gone up to the second floor when he saw a black cat nimbly rushing in his direction. He reached out to catch Azshara and flicked its head with his fingers.

"Did Sharon follow you back?"

"Meow..." Azshara looked up in grievance. After not seeing each other for so many days, her master's first words were to ask about Miss Sharon. This was obviously trying to make her jealous.

"Looking at your appearance, she must be back." Hastur rubbed Azshara's head and let it go aside to play on its own.

"Meow?"

Azshara opened her eyes wide, and she suddenly felt that she was the most unnecessary one in this family?

"Aishara, I'm used to living without you."

"Meow?"

Azshara moved her head closer and smelled the scent of that big golden retriever dog, almost making her hair explode.

This means that just now, my master and the golden retriever dog were closely together, and for a long time.

This is unbearable!

Azshara suddenly left Hastur's arms and left quietly along the shadow of the wall.

Hastur went to Sharon's exclusive room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Sharon, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. She was wearing a black palace dress and a small soft hat. Her pale blond hair was hanging down. She was standing quietly by the window with her back to him. forward.

There were no lights in the room, and the only light came from the dim moonlight outside the window.

Sharon, wearing a black palace dress, seemed to blend in with the night, mysterious, lonely and cold.

……

At around eleven o'clock, in Audrey's room at Earl Hall's house, Susie, who was lying on the ground, smelled a familiar smell. She got up and came to the window sill, putting her two front legs forward on the window sill, her head Lean forward and look out the window at the world.

Under the crimson moonlight, on a beech tree, a black cat was standing on the crown of the tree, looking down at him through the window.

In the dim night, its existence is like an elf in the night, small and elegant.

The pair of faint blue pupils were particularly recognizable. After just a few glances, Susie recognized the origin of the black cat.

Azshara, the little black cat who has been following Mr. Hastur, is obviously larger than the last time we met. It has grown from a little black cat to an adult black cat.

But why does it come here in the middle of the night?

Did you come here specifically to say hello to yourself?

But why come quietly? It can obviously come with Mr. Hastur during the day.

Susie thought for a moment and waved her right front leg to signal that she would welcome it tonight.

"Meow."

Azshara made a small sound and signaled Susie to come out of the room.

Susie glanced at Audrey, who was still sleeping, and shook her head.

It must be responsible for Audrey's safety and cannot leave the room without permission, because it is Audrey's most trusted sentinel.

"Meow!"

Azshara raised her voice a little more impatiently, but she also didn't want to disturb the sleeping Miss Audrey.

This is a private matter between him and this golden retriever!

It won’t let its owner be snatched away by this big golden retriever dog!

Well, it must stand firmly on Miss Sharon's side, otherwise there will really be no place for it in the family in the future.

Azshara called out twice more, but Susie just laid her head on the window edge and had no intention of going out.

The meowing soon attracted the attention of the patrolling guards. They carried lights and searched around.

Seeing this scene, Azshara did not stay any longer, and her light body gracefully shuttled through the crowns of various trees.

What a beautiful jump.

Susie was very envious of Azshara's ability to move so lightly. Unlike it, it couldn't even bother to climb a tree, let alone jump around nimbly on the tree crown.

It wasn't until Azshara's figure completely disappeared into the dark night that Susie returned to her original position and lay down.

He closed his eyelids and continued to dream of it turning into a spiritual dragon and flying freely.

On the other side, Azshara, who had failed to make an appointment, scolded the big golden retriever dog for being cowardly, and returned home along the way he came.

Its elegant and light figure easily shuttles on various rooftops. Late at night, the dark night is its best protective color.

When approaching a street, it caught a glimpse of a group of people in yellow clothes walking through the street below.

Their expressions were solemn, as if they were worshiping the most devout faith in their hearts.

It just stood on the roof and stared for a while, then withdrew its gaze and walked back home gracefully.

After returning home, it naturally jumped from the window on the first floor to the balcony on the second floor, and then walked along the shadowed window sill, preparing to go to the bedroom where the owner rests, which also has its own private nest.

Just like the big golden retriever dog accompanies its owner, Miss Audrey, it also wants to accompany its owner quietly.

But Azshara didn't see her master's figure in the master's bedroom. She thought about it and then came to Miss Sharon's bedroom.

Before it even got close to the window, it smelled the scent of Miss Sharon and its owner in the room.

The master is with Miss Sharon, but why is there no light in the room?

Are you discussing something quietly?

It restrained its breath and footsteps, curiously approached the window, put its ear against the wall, and listened carefully to what was going on inside.

"Can I stay here tonight?"

"not good."

"How about we go to the spirit world to visit your teacher tomorrow?"

"not good."

"Do you like Sharon?"

"..."

After a brief conversation, Azshara heard a sound similar to a smacking of the mouth, which lasted for two or three minutes.

"Sharon, you are of the temperance lineage and are good at restraining desires, so are you also good at restraining lust?"

"This is different."

"Wherever they are different, they all come from people's almost instinctive desires."

"..."

"I'm also helping you overcome your desires."

"Need not……"

"Sharon, are you trying to escape?"

Hearing this, Azshara's blue eyes opened wide, feeling inexplicably shocked.

It listened carefully for a while, and finally Miss Sharon seemed to be hiding in the mirror and no more sounds came out.

Azshara walked to the roof of the villa with silent and odorless steps, lay down quietly facing the bright starry sky, and sighed quite tiredly.
