Contest 2

"Let the contest begin!" the Eunuch, who was now acting as a referee, loudly declared. 

Luciana gently laid the cat down, whispering to it and telling it to be strong and calm down.

Those who saw this scene of the princess consort whispering to the cat opened their mouths in shock.

'Was she treating the cat like a human?'

Luciana had already communicated with the cat and knew what caused its illness.

According to the cat in her possession, a few days ago, the empress dowager had left them in the care of a new maid, and the maid had fed them a meal without deboning the fish.

The cat explained to her that every time they were served fish to eat, the imperial kitchen made sure to take out all the bones so that they could eat it with ease, but that day was different.

The meal was served as if the person was in a hurry. The fish, together with its scales and bones, were placed in front of them to eat.
