The room was quiet for a long time.

It was not until a few minutes later that Betty's soft scream suddenly sounded: "Wow!!"

She seemed to be startled, staring at the golden dome in front of her, looking at the golden dome, but obviously she knew something to say at this time to break the embarrassing and strange situation, so she held it in for a long time and thought for a long time before she whispered: "Hello, Eunya...ma.?"

"Hello, Miss Betty." The Dome made a polite voice again, and the slow female voice with a slight magnetic slight sounded pleasant.

"You...so you can speak?!" Betty's uninspiring mind finally reacted little by little. I don't know if it was because she was slow to react. Faced with such a strange situation, she actually accepted the reality of "the giant dome can speak" smoothly, and even began to talk to the light golden "egg", "Can you see me too?"

"Of course, but my 'look' may not be the same as the 'look' you understand," said the self-proclaimed Enya "egg" with a smile, "I've been looking at you, little girl, since a few days ago, since you first took care of me here."

Betty listened in a daze, surprised and confused: "Ah, so that's the case... Then why didn't you speak before?"

"Because I can't speak until today," said the Golden Dome in a gentle tone, "and it will take me a little longer to do anything else...I'm waking up a little bit from my sleep, a step-by-step process."

Betty thought about it and shook her head honestly: "I don't understand very much."

"Haha, this is normal, because you don't know who I am, and probably don't know my experience," Dome's tone really laughed this time, and the laughter sounded very happy, "What an interesting girl... you seem a little scared?"

"The first time I saw a talking egg..." Betty nodded carefully and kept a distance from the giant dome. She was indeed a little nervous, but she didn't know if she was afraid - since the other party said yes, that's it, "and it's still so big, almost as tall as Mr. Wright or the master... When the master asked me to take care of you, I never said you could talk."

"Your master..." The golden dome seemed to be thinking, or maybe she became drowsy and stagnant during her sleep. Her voice sounded occasionally a little erratic and slow, "Who is your master? Where is this?"

Betty thought for a while and thought that since the other party was a "distinguished guest", there was no need to hide this issue. So she nodded and said, "My master is His Majesty Gowen Cecil, this is his palace - I am Betty, the head maid here."

"Gowen Cecil? So, I came to the world of humanity? This is really..." The golden dome's voice stopped for a moment, as if it was very surprised, and then there was a little helplessness and a sudden smile in the voice, "It turns out that they sent me together... It's surprising, but maybe it was a good decision."

Betty blinked and listened to a huge egg muttering to herself. She still couldn't understand what was happening in front of her, and she couldn't understand what the other party was muttering, but at least she understood that it seemed like an accident that the other party came here, and at the same time suddenly thought of what she should do: "Ah, then I'll inform His Highness Hetty! Tell her that the eggs in the hatching room are awake!"

After saying that, she turned around and planned to run out of the door, but was about to take a step and stopped by the Dome: "No, wait a moment - don't tell others for now."

"Ah?" Betty stopped in confusion, "Don't you tell anyone else?"

"Don't be so anxious," said the Dome gentle. "I haven't enjoyed such a quiet time for too long, so don't let people know that I'm awake...I want to continue to be quiet for a while."

"Then..." Betty looked at the light golden eggshell carefully, as if he could see the expression of this "Ms. Enya" from the eggshell, "Do you need me to go out? You can stay by yourself..."

"It's not necessary," a more obvious smile came from the dome. "You are not noisy, and it's not bad to have a person you are talking to. Just don't have to tell others for now."

"Oh," Betty nodded, then couldn't help but look up and down at the surface of the light golden dome, as if thinking about where the other party's "sounding organ" was. After a while, she finally couldn't control her confusion, "That... Ms. Enya, do you live in this eggshell? Are you going to come out for some breath?"

The sound of the golden dome fell silent for a moment. Although there was no expression on the eggshell, a strong "I am confused, something is wrong with you" seemed to penetrate from the subtle lines on the surface of the eggshell. It was not until a few seconds of embarrassment that she finally spoke: "Come out... come out? No, I can't come out, little girl, this is what I am now. Maybe you think this is an egg, but it is actually a gathering of human nature and a material carrier with symbolic significance. I need to use this form to solidify and gradually transform my humanity to realize... No, forget it, you should not understand. In short, this is what I am now."

Betty listened to an egg explaining these incomprehensible concepts to herself. After working hard to combine information, she finally had her own understanding, so she nodded vigorously: "I understand, you haven't hatched yet."

“…”

Seeing the egg without saying anything for a long time, Betty suddenly became nervous and asked carefully: "Ms. Enya?"

"Nothing, I just have some...I don't know how to respond. Perhaps from some perspective, your summary is good, but... forget it," said the golden dome in a tone, and the faint golden light flowing on the surface gradually returned to normal from slowness. "By the way, where is your master now? I haven't seemed to feel his breath."

"Your Majesty is out," Betty said, "to do something important - to discuss the future of the world with some big names."

"Discuss the future of this world?" The golden dome's voice sounded with emotion, "It seems that this world finally has a future...it's a good thing."

As she said, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked curiously: "Little girl, I just wanted to ask, what are the runes that flash around? They seem to be maintaining a stable energy field. Is this... a seal of some kind? But I don't seem to feel its blocking effect."

Betty looked at the shiny runes around her, and a look of joy appeared on her face: "This is a rune group for hatching!"

"Hatching...wait, you just mentioned that this is the hatching room?" The golden dome seemed to finally react, with a tone rising with astonishment and laughter, "Are you... you are trying to 'hatch me'?"

"Yes," Betty nodded, "It has been hatched for several days! And it's very effective, you can talk now..."

The room suddenly became very quiet again, and the golden dome fell into an extremely strange silence. Until even a slow girl like Betty began to feel uneasy, a sudden burst of laughter, as if she was so happy that she could even feel a little venting. It suddenly burst out from the dome: "Ha...haha...hahaha!!"

The laughter lasted for a long time, and an egg obviously did not require ventilation, so her laughter did not stop at all. It was not until a few minutes later that the laughter finally stopped. Betty, who was a little scared, finally had the opportunity to speak carefully: "Well...Ms. Eunya, are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine, I just didn't think of your ideas... Listen, little girl, I can speak not because it's about to hatch, and you can't hatch me like this. In fact, I don't need any hatch at all. I just need to transform myself, you... forget it," the golden dome couldn't help laughing in the first half, but the voice in the second half became particularly helpless. If she had hands at this moment, she might have pressed her forehead - but she doesn't have hands, and even no forehead, so she could only try to helplessly, "I don't think I can explain it to you at all. Ah, you are actually planning to hatch me, this is really..."

She seemed to be about to laugh again, but this time she could hardly hold it back. Betty couldn't help but pat her chest gently and said relievedly: "You scared me a little just now. Ms. Enya, you laughed so hard just now, I'm even worried that you'll laugh until you lose your yellow..."

Golden Dome: “…??”

The next second, the uncontrollable laughter echoed in the room again...

Fortunately, the laughter did not last so long this time. In less than a minute, Eunya stopped. She seemed to have gained unimaginable happiness, or in other words, after such a long time, she felt happiness with free will for the first time. Then she focused on the maid who seemed a little dazed, but found that the other party was nervous again - she grabbed both sides of the maid's skirt and looked panicked: "Ms. Eunya, am I saying the wrong thing? I always say the wrong thing..."

"No, you said nothing wrong. I should pay attention to my emotions. After all, it is no longer restricted by thoughts... Although this has nothing to do with 'sanhuang'," Enya said with a smile, "You are really interesting. Child, no one has ever dared to talk to me like this, but this is really interesting... Is this wonderful way of thinking also influenced by your equally interesting master?"

"I don't know what you mean," Betty scratched her hair, "but the master did teach me a lot."

"What has he taught you?" Enya asked with interest.

"Spell, mathematics, history, and some common sense of social operation... Although I don't understand this part very much, there are also mystics and 'logical thinking' - everyone needs logical thinking, that's what the master said."

"...It seems that this is really interesting," Enya's tone seemed to have changed a little bit, "Can you tell me about what your master usually teaches you. Of course, if you have more free time, I hope you can tell me about the current situation of the world and what all things you know are like."

"Of course, I have finished my work today, and I don't know what to do in my spare time in the evening!" Betty said happily, then as if he was thinking of something, he hurried towards the door, "Ah, since I want to chat, I must prepare refreshments--you can wait a moment!"

This time, Enya didn't have time to call on the girl who was so arrogant and a little stubborn. Before he finished speaking, Betty had already trotted away from the "hatching room", leaving only the golden dome quietly on the base in the center of the room.

“…It’s so interesting.”

A voice of moaning to himself sounded in the room.

Fortunately, as a skilled maid, Betty didn't take it for too long.

She ran out of the room in a hurry, prepared the refreshment quickly, and soon ran back with a large tray. The two soldiers standing guard outside the room looked at the mysterious series of actions of the maid, wanting to ask, but they couldn't find a chance to speak. When they realized it, Betty had already run into the room in the thick door with a large tray, and had not forgotten to close the door.

The two soldiers outside the door looked at each other, and Betty and Enya stood opposite each other.

There was no daily home furnishings in the hatching room. Betty placed the big tray on the floor next to her. She held up the big teapot she usually liked, blinked her eyes and looked at the golden dome in front of her, and suddenly felt a little confused.

...I seem to have encountered similar confusion before.

No mouth.

Enya was also trapped in a similar confusion as Betty, and as the person involved, her confusion was mixed with many amusing and crying embarrassment - but this embarrassment did not make her feel unhappy. On the contrary, this series of absurd and helpless situations brought her great joy and joy.

"You can't seem to drink tea..." Betty tilted her head. She didn't know what Enya was thinking, "Like Mr. Om..."

"Oh? Is there a 'person' like me here?" Enya said with some surprise, then a little regretful, "No matter what, it seems like you are going to waste your kindness."

"Mr. Egg is also an 'egg', but he is metal and can float around," Betty said as he thought hard, then hesitated and made a suggestion, "How about I pour some for you to try?"

Enya actually felt that she often couldn't keep up with the human girl's idea: "Do it some?"

"Just pour it directly on your eggshell..." Betty seemed to think that her idea was not reliable. She stuck out her tongue, "Ah, just think I'm joking, you're not a potted plant..."

"No, you can try."

"ah?"

"You can try it," Enya said with a strong interest, "this sounds like a lot of fun-I'm very happy to try anything I haven't tried."

Betty listened in a daze, picked up the heavy teapot and stepped forward, looked down at the teapot, and then looked up at the dome: "Then... have I really tried it?"

"Try it, I'm also curious about how I perceive the world now."

...

Outside the heavy gate with brass runes inlaid, two elite guards standing guard were paying attention to the movements in the room. However, the layers of barriers and the sound insulation of the gate themselves blocked all spying, and they could not hear any sound.

After a long time like this, a royal guard finally couldn't help but break the silence: "You say, what are Miss Betty going in with tea and snacks just now?"

Another guard casually said, "Maybe he's just hungry and wants to have some midnight snacks in there."

"I don't think it's like - Miss Betty is very self-disciplined at night and goes to the kitchen even if she wants to eat occasionally."

"Then I don't know. She is the chief maid and the highest female official in the inner court. There is no need to report this kind of thing to us," the guard shrugged, "You can't just water the huge egg, right?"

“…and that’s right.”

Silence outside the gate.
Chapter completed!
