“Flute?” Jenson spat out.
Baby Robbie nodded.
Jenson exclaimed, “What a ferocious hypnotist! She made me sleep for six hours straight and lose a part of my memories. If she had hypnotized me into murder or arson in those six hours, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to control myself.”
Baby Robbie said, “You’re quite right. Once you left the Mammoth Courtyard last night, you merely walked toward the direction of our rental place like a puppet. While we were halfway back, a python appeared out of nowhere and attacked you. I threw this seal out in a moment of desperation and that’s how I managed to save your life.”
Baby Robbie explained the full details of what had happened last night to Jenson again.
When Jenson heard this, he was utterly petrified.
“Madam Nephele is indeed sly.”
Baby Robbie played with his seal admiringly and said, “Before this, I always thought that it was bulky and a hindrance. I didn’t expect that it could save our lives last night. I’ll have to remember to wrap it up and perhaps give it a nice bath.”
Jenson added, “Give it a kiss for me as well.”
After making some jokes, Baby Robbie placed the seal back into his pocket and sternly said, “What do we do next, Jens?”
Jenson pondered for a while and said, “Madam Nephele seems to be an expert in advanced hypnotism on humans, and she’s even able to command a python. These skills seem to be a kind of witchcraft that has died out.”
Baby Robbie said, “Is there a method to break through it?”
Jenson said, “Yes. But I don’t know how.”
Baby Robbie drooped his head and said listlessly, “If we can’t crack her hypnotism, we’ll merely end up too passive to fight against her.”
Baby Robbie stroked his chin and pondered. “I can ask our sisters to take turns in standing guard. Otherwise, I’m afraid we won’t be able to rest well for the next few days.”
Jenson said, “Didn’t Daddy teach you that daughters are precious and should only be held and protected? You even have the guts to give them such a task? Aren’t you afraid of suffering a few whips from Daddy if he finds out?”
Baby Robbie frantically laughed and said, “Hahaha! There’s no need to pay heed to the words Daddy said or take them seriously. Because in Daddy’s world, even though there are 6.5 billion people on earth, only Mommy is a woman in his eyes. Other women should be left to protect themselves.”
Baby Robbie’s conclusion was very insightful and precise.
Jenson remained perplexed despite giving it so much thought. He pondered aloud, “Why did this mysterious Madam Nephele even want to let Sandra and Judy go? Was she planning to save them or cut off Chloe’s relationship with those in Château de Selene? What’s her true purpose?”
Baby Robbie studied the treasures he had stolen from Madam Nephele and said absent-mindedly, “Aren’t you well-versed in hypnotism? Just knock her out cold and drag her home for interrogation. Wouldn’t we find out everything that way?”
