Darlene walked for more than half an hour, and arrived at Catherine's house. The door of the Duke's mansion was closed, and the knight hurried forward to knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

"Kagji!!"

After a while, the gate opened, and the knight guarding the gate frowned and looked forward. After seeing Darlene, his brows relaxed. The girl in front of him was the one the young master was pursuing.

"Miss Darlene, are you here to see Miss Catherine?" The gatekeeper knight asked politely. If someone else knocked on the door, even if it was an earl, he wouldn't have to be so polite.

"Yes, please inform me." Darlene said politely.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The gatekeeper knight said politely, and closed the door again.

"Huh..." Darlene stood outside the gate, looking at the large and tall Duke's Mansion in front of her, and couldn't help sighing, "This is nothing more than a cage."

Since Catherine was grounded, she also came to see Catherine several times, most of them were refused to meet, and she only saw Catherine twice.

One time was ten days ago, when she met Catherine, the other party hugged her and cried, because the carrier pigeon given by His Excellency Liu Feng seemed to have been killed by Catherine's elder brother.

The second time they met was five days ago, when she secretly brought her carrier pigeon to Catherine, only then did she coax the other party into a happy smile, and she could clearly feel the other party's unhappiness.

"Kagji!"

The sound of the door opening awakened Darlene who was in deep thought. She turned her head to look in the direction of the door, and saw the gatekeeper knight who was going to report.

"Miss Darlene, please come with me, the Duke has allowed you to see Miss Catherine." The gatekeeper knight shouted with a smile.

"Thank you." Darlene nodded, took the gift from the knight, and followed behind the gatekeeper knight.

"You're welcome, you will be very happy to see Miss Catherine." The gatekeeper knight whispered.

"..." Darlene nodded lightly, followed silently, her green eyes scanned the environment of the Duke's mansion, and found that it was very deserted, except for a few teams of knights patrolling, there was no one there.

Turning left and right, it took more than five minutes for Darlene to arrive at Catherine's residence. The gatekeeper knight saluted and left silently.

Darlene adjusted her mood, with a slight smile on her lips, she carried the gift and walked towards Catherine's room, knocked on the door, and heard a shout from inside before she could speak.

"Go, I don't want to see anyone, go, go." Catherine's voice was hoarse.

"..." Darlene frowned. She guessed that the Duke was forcing Catherine to do something she didn't like again, so she knocked on the door again and called softly, "Catherine, it's me, Darlene."

"Tat Tat Tat..."

There were hurried footsteps, and then the room was pulled away. Catherine looked at Darlene with red eyes, her hair was disheveled instead of her usual playfulness.

"Catherine, what's wrong with you?" Darlene asked in shock, and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand.

"Woooooo..." Catherine hugged Darlene, cried with sobs, and said indistinctly, "The carrier pigeon, again, gone again."

"Huh???" Darlene stared at her blue eyes, and asked in surprise, "He killed him again?"

"Hmm!" Catherine made a nasal sound with a choked voice.

"Come on, let's go in." Darlene helped Catherine into the room and closed the door before asking, "Why? Does he know it's a carrier pigeon?"

"I know." Catherine said convulsively, her tearful eyes were very distressing.

"Okay, stop crying, and tell me what's going on." Darlene wiped away Catherine's tears, and asked softly, "How did he know it was the bird that passed the letter?"

"He bribed one of my maids, and then he knew everything." Catherine was tearful. She was very depressed these days, and when she saw Darlene coming, her grievances broke out.

"This..." Darlene frowned, and finally knew why Catherine was so sad. The killing of the carrier pigeon was one of the reasons. The most important thing was the maid. The youngest maid beside Catherine also followed her for two or three years Now, if you betray her now, you will definitely be very sad.

"Dalina, the pigeons are gone, will His Excellency Liu Feng blame me?" Catherine asked with red eyes.

"Uh..." Darlene rolled her eyes. She thought it was the maid who hurt Catherine, but she didn't expect that she cared about His Excellency Liu Feng's opinion.

"It must be my fault, right?" Catherine was about to shed tears when she saw Darlene's appearance. This carrier pigeon is the only way she can contact Xiyang City now, and now it is completely gone, which makes her a little desperate up.

Chapter 0474 please help Liu Feng.

The carrier pigeon was killed, and Darlene understood Catherine's feelings. She knew that Catherine had a good impression of His Excellency Liu Feng, and she was very concerned about whether the death of the carrier pigeon would make His Excellency Liu Feng have any opinion on her.

"No, you didn't do it on purpose." Darlene comforted quickly.

"Really not? I heard that this pigeon is difficult to train." Catherine looked at Darlene with tears in her eyes.

"Really." Darlene nodded affirmatively, and said indignantly, "You didn't kill the carrier pigeon, but that bastard. Your Excellency Liu Feng will forgive you."

"That, that's good, that's good." Catherine was obviously relieved, and patted her chest.

"Okay, don't cry." Darlene cupped Catherine's face in her hands, wiping the tears from her cheeks with her thumbs.

Now Catherine feels fragile and helpless to Darlene. She is exactly what an ordinary girl should look like. She doesn't have the aura of the Duke's daughter before. Maybe she only shows her vulnerable side in front of her.

"Gulu..."

A hungry growl sounded, making Catherine's cheeks flush.

"Catherine, you didn't eat well?" Darlene raised her eyebrows, and finally knew why the Duke let her in. It must be Catherine who went on a hunger strike to protest.

"Well, those meals are unpalatable, and I don't have an appetite." Catherine pouted and whispered. She just wanted to use a hunger strike to protest. As a result, her brother was punished by his father to close the door for seven days, which was four days more than last time. .

More importantly, she was used to the delicious food in Xiyang City, how could she bear the salty boiled meat when she returned to the capital.

"Have you finished eating the canned fish?" Darlene immediately knew why.

"Well, I secretly finished eating two days ago." Catherine said awkwardly, really on a hunger strike? Of course she is not that stupid, of course she must be prepared not to starve to death before going on a hunger strike.

"I knew it would be like this." Darlene rolled her eyes, pointed to the wooden box on the table, and said softly, "I brought you some meat, which was boiled with the juice and ingredients from the canned fish."

"Is it delicious?" Catherine raised her nose and hurried to the wooden box. After opening it carefully, she immediately smelled the strong fragrance.

"It's not as good as fish, but it's also very delicious." Darlene stepped forward to help take out the plate from the wooden box.

"Let me try." Catherine picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it a little bit, her golden eyes sparkled, and then picked up another piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Isn't it delicious? This trick was invented by those nobles who bought canned fish." Darlene smiled lightly.

The canned fish she brought to Xiyang City was still too little, and the amount distributed to the nobles was also very small. In order to eat more delicious food, they invented the canned fish as a seasoning to cook meat.

The meat cooked in this way has a much worse taste than canned fish alone, but it is much tastier than ordinary boiled meat in salt water.

"Huh? It's really delicious. Why didn't I think of this method?" Catherine's mouth was full, and her expression was a little annoyed. She used all the leftover canned fish soup to mix with polished rice.

"Eat more if it tastes good." Darlene helped pour a glass of water.

"Hmm..." Catherine was chewing heavily, and suddenly stopped moving after chewing, staring blankly at the meat on the plate.
