For the protected object, every meal is fixed because her food will be checked. Besides, she is not allowed to have any other food from other channels. This is the most basic security regulation.
Not to mention whether it would be strange to order another meal after ordering breakfast, the most important thing is that there is no time for her to order another meal according to the schedule.
Once she misses the scheduled time, the entire itinerary for the day will be at risk of cancellation.
Therefore, with an empty stomach, Ophelia changed her clothes and walked out.
When Karun saw Ophelia again, he was slightly stunned because Ophelia was wearing a black dress, a red wind hat on her head, a string of pearl necklaces around her neck, and brown leather boots on her feet.
This outfit made Karun subconsciously think of Puerh, and Karun did not believe that this was just a coincidence.
Because this outfit was popular over a hundred years ago, but it is no longer in fashion now.
"How is it, Mr. Karun?"
Although she was hungry and facing the man who pushed away her meal cart, Ophelia still showed her elegance and even turned around in front of Karun.
"It seems that a women's cane is missing."
"Miss, the cane."
A cane with a red gemstone inlaid on it was handed to Ophelia by Xinla.
Karun smiled slightly and said, "Perfect."
Ophelia smiled, "I think Mr. Karun and I always get along well."
"Serving you is my duty."
When getting off the elevator, Karun wondered if it was because both of them practiced the Dark Moon Blade, so they had a kind of induction between each other.
The restlessness in his magic last night was definitely not an accident. Karun felt that it must be related to the Miss of the Dark Moon family in front of him.
It was still the same VIP car as yesterday, and Peiluo was still the driver. Ophelia sat in the middle on one side, with a female warrior and a maid sitting beside her, while Karun and Vani sat opposite them.
The car started and left the hotel.
Vani said, "It's a long way from here to the Allen Manor, so we should try not to delay on the road and arrive early."
"It's not urgent. Even if I don't need to rest, you who are responsible for protecting me and your colleagues who can't be seen around need to rest and eat," Ophelia said.
"No need, we have all had breakfast and are full," Vani smiled.
"..." Ophelia.
After leaving the city and entering the suburbs, the scenery outside the car window became much wider.
"How long have you been in the Order of the Divine Order, Mr. Karun?" Ophelia asked.
"I haven't been in the Order of the Divine Order for long, but I have believed in order for a long time."
"So, what is your current level?"
"Extraordinary member of the Order of the Divine Order's Whip Team, Divine Servant."
"Extraordinary member?" Ophelia was a little puzzled, "It's hard to imagine that you are just an extraordinary member."
"Miss, you are the first task I faced after joining the Order of the Divine Order's Whip Team."
"This is my honor."
"It's my honor too."
"Has Mr. Karun ever thought of other ways?"
"Miss, what do you mean?"
"Unless there are any accidents, after the meeting, a church belonging to the Order of the Divine Order will be established on the Dark Moon Island. Would Mr. Karun be interested in taking on the responsibility of spreading the light of order to the Dark Moon Island?"
Being sent abroad is a good way to gain experience and facilitate future promotion.If Karun was just a servant of the gods, this would be a faster way to accumulate experience, and the young lady had already expressed her willingness to speak up for him.
"I'm sorry, miss. If I have the chance in the future, I would love to visit Darkmoon Island and appreciate its charming scenery, but for now, I don't want to settle down."
"That's alright, Mr. Karun. Do you think you're still young?"
"Yes, I've always thought that youth is a kind of capital that can be squandered. I want to stay in York City and continue to squander it."
"In fact, I envy you. When I was on the island, I always longed for the outside world."
"It's a besieged city. Those inside want to go out, and those outside want to come in."
"I like this metaphor. Yes, Darkmoon Island is a besieged city. The only chance I can leave now is probably to marry Mr. Leon, the chief bishop of the York City district, whom I met last night."
Is he the grandson of the chief bishop of the York City district from last night?
Ophelia leaned forward slightly with her cane, and although she had missed a meal, she had not yet had time to reduce the curves in her figure:
"Mr. Karun, do you think I should marry Mr. Leon?"
Xinla, the maid, smirked. She thought her young lady's attitude towards the member of the Order of the Whip was too much.
Karun was also a little confused by this question. How could someone of his level evaluate such a major matter of marriage?
However, since the conversation was limited to this car, Ophelia's two companions would not betray her, and Fanny and Peiluo would not betray her either.
Seeing that Karun didn't answer, Ophelia continued, "Everyone thinks that my marriage to Mr. Leon would be beneficial to Darkmoon Island and the Order of the Gods."
"Miss, may I say something obvious?"
"Hehe, please do."
"Whether you marry or not, I think you have the power to control it."
Ophelia nodded and said, "Yes, my family hasn't put too much pressure on me."
Not too much pressure means that the elders of the Darkmoon clan are equally divided on whether to marry or not.
If she marries, Darkmoon Island can gain greater freedom and the power can also develop accordingly. But marriage also has side effects, which will force Darkmoon Island to get involved in the vortex of the struggle between the churches.
Especially now, all signs seem to indicate that the gods are about to awaken, and if this trend continues, the war between the churches may be unavoidable.
"What do you think of Mr. Leon as a person?" Karun asked.
Ophelia shook her head and said, "He's good in other aspects, but... a bit childish."
As she spoke, Ophelia looked at Karun and said, "If Mr. Leon could exchange places with you, maybe I would consider trying to like him. At least, it would be easier to persuade me to accept this arrangement."
"Miss, are you thirsty?" Xinla reminded her, "Some of your words may cause trouble for Mr. Karun."
Xinla's words were not entirely meant to belittle Karun; any man who hears his "blind date" say such things would probably hate the man who was compared to him, and the other party was just a servant of the gods, Karun.
Fanny responded, "There are no informants in our team."
"So, are you suspecting my loyalty to the young lady with Pamil?"
Pamil is the name of the female warrior.
Both sides began to show some tension, but the two directly involved seemed very calm."Mr. Karun, what are you thinking about?" Ophelia asked.
A smile appeared on Karun's lips as he said, "I finally understand what my girlfriend was thinking when our parents arranged for us to meet."
"I think I envy your girlfriend," said Puerh.
"Miss, your situation is different from Mr. Karun's," Xinla interjected.
Vani raised her eyebrows and reminded them, "The Order of the Gods advocates equality for all under order."
"Xinla, can you not interrupt when I'm talking to someone else next time? Do you think I'm just an immature child who needs your constant guidance?"
"No, Miss. Please forgive me."
Ophelia looked back at Karun and saw that he was still smiling. Was his temper really that good?
Of course Karun wasn't angry. Dis chose to marry into the Allen family for various reasons. But if Dis had chosen Darkmoon Island instead...
Karun didn't think that the Darkmoon clan would agree to the marriage when Dis appeared over the island using teleportation magic. He wouldn't have his current development, nor his current freedom.
It was like when a salesgirl looked down on you and thought you couldn't afford something. If you actually had enough money in your pocket, you might not feel offended and wouldn't deliberately spend money to prove anything. You would just smile and walk away, feeling sorry for her.
Dis left himself with many things, like Puerh, like a wicked god...
But the most precious thing Dis left himself was the ability to look at the world with equal eyes, no matter how lowly his status and realm was.
This wasn't a stubbornness after self-deception or a disguise under habit. It was a true indifference.
Xinla turned to Karun and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Karun. I apologize for my previous offense and request your forgiveness."
Karun looked at her and said with a smile, "You don't need to apologize because I didn't hear what you said earlier."
This was a very polite sentence, but it could also be interpreted in another way.
Finally, after waiting hungrily, they arrived at the Allen estate.
"It's a very exquisite estate," Ophelia said. "From here, you can see the prosperity of the Allen family in the past."
To be able to date the ancestors of the Allen family, the Allen family's young lady must first have the qualifications to meet her ancestors, and at least have the opportunity to sit at the same table and communicate.
Karun found it funny. He had promised Unis that he would come back often, but he had come back so soon.
What was even funnier was that from now on, Old Anderson and the others would have to pretend that they didn't know him at all.
Because they had received a notification from the Order of the Gods in advance that the visitor was still the Darkmoon family's young lady, the Allen estate put on a more magnificent display than when they welcomed Her Majesty the Queen.
However, the car still stopped in front of the castle and wasn't led around to the back of the castle.
Karun got out of the car first and then reached out to help Ophelia out. At this moment, Karun heard some "empty" sounds coming from his stomach, like they were coming from inside.
Ophelia remained composed and walked towards Old Anderson after getting out of the car.

Old Anderson also personally came forward to greet them with great fanfare, but he didn't bow down.
"The Allen family welcomes the arrival of the Darkmoon family and the visit of the Order," he said."Hello, sorry for the sudden visit, please forgive me." Ophelia also bowed respectfully to Old Anderson, "Thank you for your warm welcome, may the friendship between Dark Moon and Allen last forever."
Next, it was the part where they introduced each other like old acquaintances.
Karun didn't bother hiding himself, because he didn't need to.
After all, the Allen Estate had completely fooled the Raphael family in recent years by "acting", making them believe that the Allen family, although weakened, still had some reserves and did not rush to launch a final blow against the Allen family, fearing that the Allen family would come out on top.
When it came to acting, the members of the Allen family led by Old Anderson were really professional.
However, Karun was still thinking about whether to find an opportunity to go upstairs and see Unis, but he didn't know where the captain and the others were hiding. What if he sneaked up and was seen by his teammates in the dark?
The captain had said that everyone in the team had secrets, and he wouldn't actively investigate Karun's secrets, but that didn't mean the captain was blind.
After entering the castle, Karun followed Pailuo and Fanny behind Ophelia, while Old Anderson led Ophelia to visit the family head's study. In front of each portrait, Old Anderson gave Ophelia a detailed introduction.
This was the glory of the Allen family's ancestors. Old Anderson was very emotional when he introduced them. As he introduced them, he even cried and began to blame himself for not living up to his ancestors and running the family into such a state.
Obviously, Old Anderson, who had received Karun's prompt, stuck to the theme.
Karun felt that Old Anderson at this moment was like an old village chief facing a group of poverty alleviation cadres.
Ophelia began to comfort Old Anderson on her own initiative, and even made a promise that the Dark Moon family would help the Allen family. This also involved... the sea trade route.
This should be a link that Dark Moon Island and the Order of the Gods will discuss next. Both sides will take what they need, and the trade between Dark Moon Island and the Order of the Gods is a necessary link. However, even if the Allen family just brushes up against it, it is still a considerable wealth for the current Allen family, and it is also an upgrade of the family's status.
When it came to several Allen ancestors such as Rekal, Ophelia also mentioned that she had heard stories about them on Dark Moon Island.
Obviously, the ancestors of the Allen family had left many stories and legends on the sea.
For this reason, Old Anderson took the opportunity to wipe his tears.
Finally,
The highlight came.
When Ophelia asked if there was a portrait of Miss Pall Allen, Old Anderson took her to that painting.
"Is it really... Miss Pall?"
In fact, Ophelia had noticed this painting as soon as she came in, and she couldn't help but notice it. The walls of the large study were covered with people, but this painting was of a black cat sitting in a chair.
Karun stood behind Ophelia, trying hard not to laugh.
She could see Ophelia's embarrassment clearly, because her current appearance and the cat in the painting were not very similar... they were exactly the same.
Karun felt that there must be a portrait or sculpture of Puerh in the palace on Dark Moon Island, but it was definitely not in the form of a cat.
Although she had turned into a cat, her legend still circulated in the world.
Old Anderson introduced, "Ahem... this ancestor, she... she had a more carefree personality."
Ophelia took a deep breath, and her previous embarrassment turned into a big laugh. She laughed so hard that she bent over and even shed tears."Sorry, sorry, I did not disrespect Miss Pall at all. I just suddenly realized what kind of personality a lady should have to make my ancestor so infatuated with her for a lifetime."
Ophelia is emotional. From this painting, she seems to see the soul of Puerh, an interesting and free-spirited soul, unrestrained and unafraid of the world.
Even in this solemn occasion, she still faces it in a playful manner. She must know that her painting will be kept here for future generations to admire.
Yes, only such a lady can be worthy of my ancestor's love, and my ancestor will be so emotional about her.
In front of this portrait, Ophelia seemed to see her own reflection and gained some guidance and resonance.
Karun spoke up, "I think Ophelia can quietly contemplate and admire here. Mr. Anderson, what do you think?"
"Oh, of course, that's only right."
Mr. Anderson immediately led the others out of the bedroom.
Karun also signaled for Peina and Fanny to leave together. In the study, there were only Ophelia and the three of them left.
...
After a while, Borg pushed a dining car over. Because Karun whispered to him earlier when he passed by, "I'm hungry."
Karun walked over and took the dining car, ready to push it to the study. However, Fanny and Peina stopped him:
"Have you checked the food?"
"I've tasted it all. It's fine. The main thing is that I heard the miss..." Karun pointed to his stomach, "and more importantly, I seem to have pushed the dining car out before she ate."
Now, Fanny and Peina were also embarrassed.
Karun didn't know if the captain and teammates hiding in the dark would be embarrassed to hear this. After all, they were supposed to share the food.
As a security guard, eating up the protected person's food and letting the protected person go hungry was really embarrassing if this got out.
Peina and Fanny quickly helped Karun open the study door, and Karun pushed the dining car in.
When Ophelia saw the dining car being pushed in, she opened her mouth wide but immediately closed it, then swallowed her saliva.
At this moment, she felt that Karun was emitting light!
"This is the afternoon tea provided by the Allen family, miss. Please enjoy it first, and we will go to the cemetery after you finish."
After speaking, Karun turned around and walked out of the study.
Twenty minutes later, Karun knocked on the door. The female warrior, Panmir, opened the door, but Karun did not enter. He just said, "Miss, we should go to the cemetery now. We have limited time because we need to go back at night."
"Okay."
Ophelia walked out with a smile on her face, and Xinla looked at the dining car.
"Don't worry about the dining car, Miss Xinla. The servants of the estate will clean up after we leave, and the dining car we ate from is also outside."
"Okay, okay." Xinla immediately followed her miss out of the study.
After they all came out, Karun closed the study door.
Ophelia also breathed a sigh of relief. Karun didn't push the dining car again, which made her feel relieved because she didn't want Karun to see the embarrassing scene of the dining car's white cloth revealing that the food had been eaten clean.
Next, under the leadership of Mr. Anderson, everyone rode horses to the cemetery.
When they arrived at the cemetery, Karun saw Puerh's tombstone, which had a sculpture of a cat on it, and it looked weathered.
There were two lines of words engraved under the tombstone:
"You said that you and I are like two fish in a pond. Even if the water dries up, we must moisten each other with our spittle. But I hope you can go back to the sea and find your own freedom."I once lit a bonfire that could illuminate half of the sky, but I know that in your eyes, it is not as good as the half-glow from the Dark Moon.
After seeing these two lines, tears flowed from Ophelia's eyes. Even Xinla and the female warrior Panmir also shed tears. Obviously, they also grew up listening to the love story of their ancestors.
Pall Miss, how carefree and lovely she was, her love for her ancestor was so deep, but her ancestor ultimately abandoned her to protect the Dark Moon.
But she had no resentment towards her ancestor. Between the lines, there was only tolerance and fulfillment.
Karun standing next to Ophelia whispered, "Perhaps, it is precisely because of love, because of deep love, that we are willing to let our loved ones fly to higher and farther places."
"Ancestor, I'm sorry for Miss Pall. We owe her too much," Ophelia wiped away her tears. "I feel sorry for Miss Pall, and I even started to hate my ancestor. He shouldn't have done that. He really shouldn't have treated a woman who loved him so deeply like this."
"I believe that this epic love story can finally come to a perfect end here. Your ancestor should be able to be liberated, and Miss Pall's soul in heaven will also receive true comfort. You said that she was once a genius girl, but she lost herself because of love. We all know what it means for a family to have a genius born into it. So, she should also feel guilty towards the family in her heart."
Ophelia nodded seriously, "Yes, the Dark Moon family will compensate the Allen family and provide support and assistance to them."
Hearing this, Karun had a bottom line in his heart and didn't continue to stir up emotions.
Next, under Ophelia's lead, everyone bowed to Pall Allen's tombstone and mourned.
...
"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"
In the living room of the Blue Bridge Community Apartment Building in York City, Puerh, who was drinking coffee and eating afternoon tea snacks, sneezed many times in a row.
It touched its nose with its paw and wondered, "Why do I feel like someone is cursing me?"
