Volume 1 Beginning Chapter 44: Is there any obsession with a perfect appearance?
"It's cute, isn't it? He's two years old this year."
The little boy with golden hair said crisply .
"Who are you?"
"Philip Maximilian und Ingram!"
"Hey!" Kaito and Aoko exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
"You're not just—"
"--His Royal Highness Prince?"
It was Prince Philip. Nan Ling couldn't remember the plot of this part very clearly, but she remembered that it seemed to be about the relationship between mother and son.
As I was thinking about it, I saw the boy whistling at the cat.
"Come here, come here." The cat ran over and threw itself into Philip's arms.
To be honest, this cat is a bit ugly. Nan Ling looked at the cat.
But he is really well behaved and comes when I call him, just like a dog.
"Here - Caesar, you want to see it, right?" he said to Kaito.
"Wow! Can I hold it for a while?" Aoko wanted to try to take the cat .
"Meow!" The cat jumped out of Philip's palm mercilessly and ran under the table.
This is really the master's character. Nan Ling was helpless.
"Don't you like me, Qingzi?"
Kaito checked under the table to see that the gem was not in the cat's eye.
I guessed wrong...
Then, like a weird uncle, he touched the doll that Philip was holding and confirmed that the gem was not inside.
The result is……
"Brother, you are not..." Philip leaned close to Kaito's ear, "You are not Kaito Kidd."
"S-Stop joking, Prince." Kaito smiled awkwardly.
"What? Isn't it? I know where the gem is." Philip blinked mysteriously.
"Huh?" Kaito immediately pricked up his ears.
"But I won't tell you!" he said with a smile.
Good man, he is so rude. He is almost as bad as Nan Ling himself.
"Prince Philip. It's dangerous here. Please go back to your room."
Nan Ling watched the conversation between the people with cold eyes.
To be honest he had no interest in this family dispute.
He watched as the little prince wanted to stay here to protect his mother, but after he complained about his mother's strictness, he was dragged away by the collar by his mother who thought he was disobedient.
Although the Queen is doing this for her own children, but...
"Excessive pursuit of perfection often ruins good things." Nan Ling raised his eyes and looked at the majestic queen.
He went on to say, "This quote comes from Shakespeare's King Lear. Perhaps it will help you in balancing family and ruling."
The Queen glanced at him nonchalantly and said, "Thank you for your advice. But I know how to educate my children."
Nan Ling didn't care at all about this.
He just recently read the book and suddenly thought of the similarities between the two things.
King Lear's tragedy began when he was confused about what kind of image he should have in his family. As a father, he used the same standards he demanded of his subjects to constrain his daughters...
In the end, he died because of his own daughter.
This mother... I hope she can figure out the difference between being a queen and a mother.
Nan Ling watched the queen throw her child into another carriage and then slammed the door shut without mercy.
"You don't have to be so harsh..." Aoko whispered. "Ayako, you were so brave just now. I didn't dare to say anything when I saw the queen like that."
"Not really..." Nan Ling said modestly, "I just think it's a little unfair to a child."
"You can quote famous works like King Lear at will... Nanyun, you are really amazing." Hei Yu also sat down next to them.
“I just happened to see it recently.”
…
"We'll reach Osaka in ten minutes." Nakamori Ginzo looked at the time.
"It seems that I won this round." The queen smiled proudly.
At this time, Kuroba Kaito had just found the location of the gem.
Qingzi was looking at a fashion magazine seriously, while Nan Ling was staring blankly at a cup of hazelnut latte.
Hazelnut latte is a divine invention. It's so delicious.
"...Where are you going, Kaito?" Nan Ling came back to his senses when he heard Qingzi's voice. Kuroba Kaito had already stood up.
"To the bathroom."
Oh, it’s about to begin!
Nan Ling perked up, and then saw him walking towards the toilet while adding some stuff into Qingzi's drink.
The movements are quite fast, worthy of being a magician.
Nan Ling watched Qingzi take a few sips of the drink in front of him and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The lights inside the car dimmed almost at the same time.
"ah!"
"power cut!"
There was a moment of confusion among the crowd.
"Damn Kid! Is he finally going to show up?"
Nan Ling walked away from Qingzi quietly and came to the side of the irritable Inspector Nakamori.
"Inspector, where is your wine glass?" the Queen asked anxiously.
"Wine glass? Isn't it right there..." Nakamori Ginzo was still drunk and glanced at the table -
"--What!"
There were a bunch of identical wine glasses on the table, and it was hard to tell which one was the one that Ginzo Nakamori had in his hand.
Nan Ling has wanted to complain about this for a long time.
If Kidd had the time to put so many wine glasses, why didn't he just take the gems away? Does he have to have a grand entrance?
"Everyone, search carefully!"
"yes!"
Nakamori Ginzo looked surprised.
"Could it be that the gemstone was mixed with the ice in the glass of wine I just drank from?"
“Ka—”
With the concerted efforts of a group of men in black and the queen, the gem was quickly found.
"Found it!" The Queen's surprised voice came, "The Crystal Mother is intact!"
But before she could finish her words, the poker gun fired.
"Swish--" Along with the sound of the poker breaking through the air, the Mother of Crystal also drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and finally fell into a pair of hands wearing white gloves with a 'pop'.
Wow, what a cool appearance. Nan Ling clapped his hands in his heart.
Kidd appeared at the open window, holding a gleaming yellow crystal in one hand and holding the window frame with the other. His white cloak fluttered in the wind in the night.
"Kaito Kidd!"
"It is an honor to meet you again, Your Majesty." He nodded to the Queen gentlemanly.
The anxious queen stepped forward and said, "Fool, this is the interior of the carriage, you have nowhere to escape!"
Kidd looked relaxed. "Haha, Your Majesty, please remember. Kaito Kidd is elusive. And please don't forget--"
He flipped his hand, and the yellow crystal disappeared from his palm, replaced by a playing card.
"——Besides being a queen, you are first and foremost a loving mother." He turned the card over, and the card represented the queen - the Queen of Hearts.
"Goodbye then." The playing cards exploded, spewing out a puff of smoke.
Ginzo Nakamori chased to the window, only to see Kidd's figure disappearing in the smoke.
"Wait, wait! Kidd!"
The only response he got was Kidd's arrogant laughter.
Really, if you think about it, you will know that it is a fake person. I can't believe that I was deceived by Kidd after so many times ...
Nan Ling shook his head helplessly.
Hmm...so now the only place Kidd would go is probably the roof of the car.
