Chapter 64 Magical Cat

Qiao Xiao: "I'll take care of that cat. Daisy, you can give it to me."

Daisy: "Really? Your Majesty?"

Qiao Xiao: "Yes, I promise."

Daisy: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."

The head maid looked at Qiao Xiao in shock. "Queen Fali, the King absolutely forbids you from raising stray cats without permission!" She was somewhat flustered.

Qiao Xiao: "I will explain to the King, so you don't need to worry, Head Maid."

The head maid's face betrayed her unease. She tried to control her emotions, as if she were facing not a queen, but an ignorant junior.

Qiao Xiao saw through her eyes and clearly realized something was wrong, but she did not immediately refute or question the head maid.

Daisy called out from the bushes behind her: "Mariegold, Marigold."

As Daisy called out, an adorable golden shaded orange cat appeared in sight.

Its fur was soft and clean, and its long white whiskers trembled slightly. It walked over with light, graceful steps.

When it came to Daisy's side, it nestled gently in Daisy's hand, enjoying her caress.

Qiao Xiao looked at the cat in front of her with eyes full of love and admiration, and said softly, "What a smart and intelligent little cat, Daisy. Since it likes you so much, from today onwards, you will be my personal maid and take good care of it for me."

Upon hearing the news, Daisy bowed deeply with joy, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! You are the light of hope for our Kingdom of Sotoa, illuminating the hearts of every one of us."

Qiao Xiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, as beautiful and charming as a flower blooming in spring.

The sunlight fell perfectly on her, making her profile look exceptionally beautiful. And the shadow she cast, partially obscured by her profile, appeared so warm, lovely, and full of power.

Daisy exclaimed, “Oh, great God, please accept my sincerest praise and gratitude! Thank you for creating such a flawless woman as Queen Fali.”

At this moment, the system suddenly issued a notification: "Host, please note that the King will embark on a nationwide tour tomorrow and is expected to return in three months. At that time, you will need to begin poisoning the King according to the plan."

Qiao Xiao calmly replied, "I understand."

Back at the palace, Qiao Xiao carefully carried the cat into a warm and comfortable room and gently placed it on the soft bed.

She meticulously arranged the best food and the most attentive care to ensure the cat could recover its health as quickly as possible.

Subsequently, Qiao Xiao learned from the head steward's wife how to handle various palace affairs.

After all, with the king absent, the queen had to personally manage all the affairs of the palace.

As night fell, Qiao Xiao dragged her tired body back to her palace.

She stood quietly by the window, gazing at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, a faint sense of loneliness welling up in her heart.

The surroundings were quiet, and she felt a little bored, so she decided to find something interesting to pass the time.

Qiao Xiao changed into casual clothes, cleverly tied a quilt into a long rope, and then resolutely climbed onto the high windowsill. She gripped the rope tightly and jumped off the five-meter-high tower without hesitation.

Daisy glanced up and was astonished to see the Queen so daringly jumping from the tower. She was so tense she could barely breathe, her eyes wide as she watched the Queen deftly grab the rope and slowly descend.

Finally, Qiao Xiao landed safely. Daisy immediately rushed forward, her face filled with horror, and asked, "My God, my Queen, what are you doing?"

Qiao Xiao calmly replied, "I'm going to find my treasure."

Just then, the cat that Qiao Xiao had once saved suddenly leaped down from the height and landed steadily on the ground. It gracefully strode over to their side.

The cat stuck out its tongue and licked its paws, then looked up at Qiao Xiao.

"What kind of treasure are you looking for, Your Majesty?"

Daisy pointed at Marigold in surprise, "My God, you can talk!"

Qiao Xiao smiled slightly and said to the cat, "I want a magic mirror."

Upon hearing this request, Daisy's face showed astonishment. She hurriedly said, "The Magic Mirror, oh my god, that's forbidden, my queen!"

Marigold circled Daisy's feet again and again, answering Qiao Xiao in a gentle voice, "If you need it, I'll help you find it."

Qiao Xiao: "Really?"

Daisy frowned, picked up the cat rubbing against her ankle, and retorted bluntly, "No, Your Majesty, such monsters can drive people insane! You absolutely mustn't touch them!"

Qiao Xiao reached out and gently stroked the cat's soft fur, explaining, "Daisy, I haven't seen my father in a long time. I want to use the magic mirror to see if he is alright."

Daisy shook her head firmly, advising, "Your Majesty, you must not use such dangerous items. Please believe me, this is for your own good."

Daisy instantly felt sorry for Qiao Xiao's pitiful situation and said softly and weakly, "Your Majesty..." A sense of sympathy and sadness welled up in her eyes, and her rebuttal disappeared.

Marigold spoke up: "I can help you, Your Majesty. You saved me, and I want to repay you."

Qiao Xiao: "Amazing cat, how can you help me?"

The cat lay lazily in Daisy's arms. "What I do know is that it's a relic of the late Queen, and only Prince Spitz knows where it is."

Qiao Xiao: "Okay, I understand."

Daisy: "My Queen, since we can't find the magic mirror for the time being, you should go upstairs first."

Qiao Xiao nodded helplessly, "I know, but I can't climb." Her tone was definitely a little amused.

Daisy said somewhat angrily, "Then why are you doing such a dangerous thing! What if you get hurt?!"

Looking at the kind girl, Qiao Xiao felt a mix of emotions. She knew her own sense of justice and brightness was an act, but the girl in front of her was genuinely simple and straightforward.

Qiao Xiao: "I'm sorry to have worried you, Daisy."

Daisy: "I just hope you think more about yourself, my Queen."

Daisy: "I've always been curious about what kind of person the King's new Queen is."

Qiao Xiao asked curiously, "Oh? So what do you think when you see me?"

Daisy: "I thought she would be a mature, composed, and dignified woman, but I never expected her to be a little princess who is only 20 years old."

Qiao Xiao smiled slightly, "Really? Isn't it a little different from what you imagined?"

Daisy nodded. "It is indeed different."

Qiao Xiao: "Thank you, Daisy."

Daisy: "What are you thanking me for?"

Qiao Xiao: "Thank you for your concern."

Daisy: "It's all I should do, after all, you are the Queen."

Qiao Xiao: "Yeah, I know. But there's no one else around me."

Daisy: "Why? Don't you still have the King?"

Qiao Xiao shook her head with a wry smile, "The King... we don't have much affection for each other."

Daisy asked in surprise, "How could that be? You just got married."

Qiao Xiao: "This marriage was not based on love, but on political needs (or rather, coercion)."

Daisy: "I see... You must be very sad?"

Qiao Xiao: "I wouldn't say I'm sad, I'm just a little sentimental."

Daisy: "So what are you planning to do in the future?"

Qiao Xiao: "Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, I'm already here, so I can only try my best to adapt to this environment."

Daisy: "If you need any help, just let me know, and I'll do my best to help you."

Qiao Xiao: "Yes, Daisy."

Marigold: "You two, after saying so much, have you considered me? I will help you just like Daisy did."

Qiao Xiao: "Could you please take me upstairs first? Please?"

With a flick of her cat paw, Marigold sent Qiao Xiao to the bedroom.

Daisy: "You're really something, Marigold."

Marigold nestled proudly in Qiao Xiao's palm and answered with self-assurance, "Of course, my magic is very powerful."
