Chapter 602 The person the Duke cherishes most.

After the communication ended, Yu Zhizhi sat down in a chair.

The little octopus handed over a cup of tea: "Rabbit, have a taste! I brewed it for you using the tender tips of the newly grown buds!"

"Thank you." Yu Zhizhi took it and took a small sip. Mmm, a very refreshing tea aroma, mixed with a faint sweetness.

She was still feeling rather down.

Lady Shenhe did not deny that Sensen was seriously injured; her heart would be constantly in suspense if she could not see Sensen for even a moment.

"Should we call His Excellency the Duke?" The little octopus held a teacup with its two tentacles, its face full of sincerity. "May I ask for the secret to using the teleportation array?"

Wooah!

I'm so envious of the Duke!
It also wants to go to Rabbit's planet!

When will our wonderful journey with the bunny begin again?
Yu Zhizhi hesitated for a moment. She thought about how fortunate it was that the Duke had come last time, otherwise her elf might have been in danger...

Although she had already told His Excellency the Duke that she would be back for a few days, she decided to inform him now that she had arrived in the territory.

Yu Zhizhi continued to use the territory's communication system.

It connects directly to the Duke's residence.

"Hello, this is the territory of the Duke of Platinum. May I ask what brings you here?" A clear, girlish voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, I'm looking for His Excellency the Duke. Or, Mr. Billy."

There was a moment of silence on the other end: "His Excellency the Duke is busy with important matters. As for Mr. Billy, how should I mention you to him?"

Mr. Billy is the Duke's personal attendant.

Yu Zhizhi said softly, "Just say... the lord of Tianxing is looking for him."

"Okay, please wait."

The call is now paused; they've gone to report it.

Communication was restored after about five minutes.

Billy's voice came through, filled with undisguised surprise: "Miss Zhizhi? You're back?"

"Yes, I'm back." Yu Zhizhi said in a relaxed tone, "Where is His Majesty the Duke? Is he busy?"

Billy said in a gentle tone, "Yes, we have a collaboration with the Moonrise Empire. Their Grand Tutor has arrived, and His Majesty the Duke is currently in talks with him."

The personal servant realized that Miss Zhizhi probably had something to say to Lord Platinum. He thought for a moment and asked, "The Duke may not be available until very late, Miss Zhizhi. Is what you want to say important? Should I go and find him now?"

“No need,” Yu Zhizhi quickly replied, “Let’s talk about it when His Excellency the Duke returns tonight. Well then, Mr. Billy, you go ahead with your work. I just returned to my territory and I still have a lot of things to take care of.”

There's no rush regarding the summoning.

It's not too late to ask when His Majesty has time.
Billy nodded: "Okay."

Just as Yu Zhizhi was about to hang up, she heard a clear female voice come from the other end again: "Lord Billy, could you please tell the Duke that I know I was wrong and will never do it again? I don't want to stay here; answering the phone every day is so boring. Can I go back to him?"

Billy paused, then frowned at the rabbit-woman in front of him: "Sophie! Don't say things that could be misunderstood. When have you ever been by the Duke's side?"

He glanced at the caller ID and found that the call had already been disconnected.

Billy's brow twitched. He wasn't sure if Miss Zhizhi had heard their conversation, or how much she had heard.
Will she misunderstand?

The female rabbit before them was named Sophie, whom the Duke had found on his way back from Silan City.

Billy was a little surprised when he saw her; Sophie's appearance and temperament were somewhat similar to Miss Zhizhi's.

However, Lord Platinum said that Sophie was sent by the Deep Sea Empire.

After being brought back to the capital of Valoran, she became a maid in the Duke's mansion, responsible for cleaning the Duke's bedroom every day.

The news that Lord Platinum preferred female rabbits spread like wildfire.

After all, the last one he brought back to the Duke's mansion and kept by his side was a little female rabbit.

However, because Sophie looks a bit like Miss Zhizhi, many people think she is Miss Zhizhi's stand-in.

Some people think that the Duke's tastes are simply biased towards this type.

It had nothing to do with Miss Zhizhi. But only Billy knew how much the Duke cared about Miss Zhizhi. Since Sophie came to the Duke's mansion, she had only seen the Duke a handful of times.

The Duke usually stayed at the study.

He rarely returned to his bedchamber.

When I went back last time, I saw this female rabbit, so I made up an excuse and transferred her to the outer edge of the territory.

It's said that she may have offended the Duke, which is why she was demoted as punishment.

Although Billy didn't know what happened that day, he guessed that nothing might have happened, and that the Duke had simply seen her and suddenly remembered the incident.

What Lord Platinum does or doesn't do is all for the outside world to see; let them figure it out.

But Sophie seemed very reluctant.

She would casually mention to Billy that she wanted to go back to work in the Duke's bedroom, as she loved cleaning.

Billy simply told her to focus on her current task and deal with the rest later.

Since then, the Duke has never mentioned her again.

Billy didn't ask.

His intuition told him that the Duke might have forgotten about Sophie.

Billy thought about what Sophie had said and wondered if Miss Zhizhi had heard it. Just in case, he still had to report to His Excellency the Duke.

As Lord Platinum's only personal attendant since childhood, he knew better than anyone what Miss Zhizhi meant to the Duke.

Although he never said it, his actions showed that Miss Zhizhi was the person he cherished most.

Since Miss Zhizhi disappeared, Lord Platinum's communication with the temple has become more frequent than ever before.

That was all in search of Miss Zhizhi's whereabouts.

The Duke had always kept watch over the Tianxing Territory, but that wasn't enough for him, so he sent another clone there.

A couple of days ago, I don't know what happened, but the Duke was in a very good mood after he returned.

He went to the bookstore and actually fed a group of small koi in the blue lotus pond himself.

Lord Platinum held a slender pipe in his hand.

But it wasn't used.

Instead, she repeatedly kneaded the blue lucky bag hanging above with her fingertips.

This was a gift that Miss Zhizhi gave him a long time ago.

It was also the only gift Miss Zhizhi ever gave him.

So much time has passed that the Duke has crumpled and worn the lucky bags. Even the embroidered patterns on them are showing signs of peeling off.

One evening, Billy stood guard outside the bookstore. A high moon hung in the sky. He didn't know what Lord Perlan was doing inside the bookstore; he simply waited quietly.

In the middle of the night, he went in to add tea.

It suddenly dawned on me that Lord Platinum was actually... embroidering?
The lamplight was dim and yellow. The man sat in front of the counter. After taking a bath, he was wearing only a jade-colored robe. His dark blue, slightly curly hair fell smoothly in front of him. In his left hand, he held the blue lucky bag given to him by Miss Zhizhi, and in his right hand, he held an embroidery needle.

Billy watched as he threaded the needle, meticulously outlining the patterns on the lucky bag, not allowing them to fade or disappear.

Billy felt a wave of dizziness. The lady before him, Platinum, was so gentle and virtuous that he was dumbfounded.

Tianxing Territory.

At 8 p.m. sharp, Yu Zhizhi was waiting in the conference hall.

She had been waiting here since the afternoon, her mind filled with Sen Sen.

The communication from the underwater palace rang as promised.

She paused slightly in breathing and quickly answered the call.
