Sheele Tabby Cat crouched cautiously outside, observing through the window. Of course, she wasn't as meticulous in her observation as Uchiha Madara. Furthermore, since both Uchiha Madara and Esdeath were notorious, Sheele instinctively believed her comrades were being abused and tortured!
Although she was seething with anger, to avoid exposing herself and to prevent her three comrades from falling into danger, Sheele still suppressed her rage and continued to quietly lurk here, observing, hoping to obtain more information.
Unbeknownst to her, Sheele had violated Najenda's advice. Najenda had told her that once it was confirmed that Leone and the others had fallen into Uchiha Madara's hands, she was to immediately retreat and report.
This was also Sheele's first step towards the abyss.
In the living room, Uchiha Madara stared at Leone, Sheele, and Mine, his expression unreadable.
With collars on their necks, Leone and the two others already felt humiliated enough. Now, facing Uchiha Madara's discerning gaze, the three of them felt even more mortified.
Uchiha Madara looked at Esdeath with a helpless expression.
Esdeath returned Uchiha Madara a challenging look, and spoke righteously:
"Since they're captured, isn't it normal to put collars on them? I was even planning to tie chains to their collars and lead them around, but Sayu stopped me!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Madara gave Sayu a look of approval.
Just then, Esdeath walked to Uchiha Madara's side. One hand rested on Uchiha Madara's shoulder, half-leaning on Uchiha Madara, she whispered into Uchiha Madara's ear:
"Madara, don't worry. I only gave them a little 'discipline' to let them understand the authority of our family's mistress. I didn't do anything excessive to them!"
"Oh, right, the bruises on their bodies are just surface redness; there's no bleeding, and they won't leave scars."
"And most importantly, although I made them quite miserable, the most important thing is that their purity as girls is still intact. I guarantee it will satisfy your collecting癖 (mania)!"
Uchiha Madara's head was covered in black lines after hearing this. He turned his head to look at Esdeath's exquisitely beautiful face. Uchiha Madara's lips twitched:
"Why are you so considerate of me? Thank you very much, Esdeath..."
"Oh, no, no, this is what I, as a wife, as a proper wife, should do! Hehehehehe..."
Uchiha Madara waved his hand helplessly. He didn't want to continue this topic. He turned to Sayu and said softly:
"Sayu, it's almost eleven o'clock. They haven't had dinner yet. Quickly tell the kitchen to prepare dinner. Hurry!"
"Yes, Lord Madara!"
Sayu bowed respectfully and ran out of the room with the group of black and white maids, tripping a little as she went.
Hiding outside the window, perched on the carving, Sheele Tabby Cat watched Sayu hurry out. At this moment, she thought of many things.
Instantly, Sheele thought of a plan.
Although she confirmed that Leone and the others were captured by Uchiha Madara, currently, Leone, Sheele, and Mine did not know the situation of their Night Raid, nor did they know that Night Raid was preparing to rescue them.
Since there was such a good opportunity, she might as well try to contact Leone and the others. Even if she couldn't rescue the three of them in time, she should at least convey some important messages to them!
Sheele thought of what she was going to do. Her target shifted to Sayu!
Hidden in the shadows, Sheele Tabby Cat slowly retreated, then silently jumped to the ground. She aimed at Sayu's back, then burrowed into a flower bush nearby. Without alarming anyone, she began to follow Sayu.
The anxious Sayu had no idea she was being followed by a cat. She hurriedly ran from outside to another kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen, she saw a group of chefs sleeping on chairs.
With a frown, Sayu picked up a ladle beside her and began to clatter it against a pot. Her huge body startled the sleeping chefs.
"Wake up! Wake up! All of you, wake up!"
"Wah! Miss Sayu, you scared us to death!"
"Don't be sleeping! Lord Madara and Lady Esdeath want dinner. You all hurry up and get moving. The speed must be fast, and the dinner quality must be high!"
Sayu, holding a ladle, scolded the chefs with the air of a great housekeeper.
Under Sayu's urging, despite their exhaustion, the chefs immediately got to work, lighting fires and pots, and various clanking and clattering sounds unique to a kitchen arose.
Sayu nodded with satisfaction, looking at the scene of bustling activity in the kitchen.
At this moment, a somewhat chubby chef walked over, rubbing his hands, and asked Sayu with a smiling face:
"Excuse me, Miss Sayu, how much dinner should we make? Is it for two people?"
This question made Sayu slightly hesitate. In her mind, the miserable images of Leone and the two others who had been tortured couldn't help but surface. She showed a wry smile and replied:
"Two servings... I'm afraid that won't do. Make it five servings..."
"Alright, alright, we'll be ready right away!"
Having received the definite news, the chefs worked even more enthusiastically.
All of this was watched by Sheele Tabby Cat, who was at the door.
About five minutes later, some appetizers were made first.
Sayu immediately plated these appetizers, placed them all on a tray, and carried them into another door of the kitchen.
Because it wasn't as clean outside, Sayu, who had been pursuing speed by walking from outside, now pursued cleanliness. Sayu walked from inside the residence, planning to first bring these appetizers to the dining room.
Seeing Sayu's actions, Sheele Tabby Cat immediately took action. She lightly flipped over and jumped in through an open window nearby.
This jump took her directly into the residence's corridor, and she jumped in front of the anxious Sayu.
Sayu, upon seeing a cat suddenly jump in front of her, was instantly startled.
Sheele Tabby Cat jumped in front of Sayu and looked at her. Her cat eyes emitted a strange light.
