Chapter 201: Well-Behaved Cats Like the Kitchen Stove! (6)
Prison.The basement of the ‘Palace of Domination’, where Duke Nebula resided, housed a prison.Yes, a prison.A damp room crawling with squeaking rats.Cecily and Melody were confined to the same cell, with Melody crying loudly. “Cecily, I’m so sorry. This is all because of me…! You should have just whipped me…!”
Melody felt terribly guilty about Cecily’s predicament.But Cecily couldn’t bring herself to whip her friend.Even if it meant imprisonment.
While Melody thought this squalid prison was unfit for Cecily, surprisingly, Cecily found some enjoyment in their confinement.It was because of the abundance of rats.Squeak— Squeak—
“Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. There are so many mice.”
Cecily’s eyes followed the mice scurrying across the prison floor.It was her dormant hunter’s instinct to track any moving creature with her eyes or body.
Pop—!Finally, Cecily pounced on a mouse that let its guard down. Catching it off guard, Cecily held the plump mouse in her hand, giggling.
“…Why grab the mouse? You’re not planning to eat it, are you? Mice don’t taste good!”
Melody couldn’t fathom why Cecily suddenly caught the mouse. However, Cecily shook her head and released the mouse again.
“We can use these mice to escape from here. Mice are smarter than you might think.”
