Merlin and Marie Antoinette’s Kittens
Chapter 1 Chapter 1: “Un Pain au Chocolat”
Meow, meow, me, me meow…
Hi there my friends! I’m Merlin, the school’s kitten. Well, maybe you have never seen me, because I’m a solitary cat, let’s say that I prefer to spend most of my time on my own… so that I can meditate, read, investigate and… solve mysteries…
By the way, I am not a stray cat. To start with, royal blood runs in my veins, yes, yes, yes! My ancestors have lived in the most powerful courts of the word, mainly in England, since I am a rag doll, which means a doll made of fabric, sort of. This is the reason why I move with outstanding elegance and I take a bath like ten times a day!
Although most people believe I do nothing… I am an investigator!
Usually, I walk around the school at night, when there is nobody around and enter the classrooms, the head’s office or the library, which is definitely my favourite place!
Apparently, they are preparing a party, a celebration of some kind…
There are flags all over the patio, white, red and blue flags!! So nice! And some notices reading “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”… I think that is another language… French, they call it?
Hey!! Hello? Is that food? So it seems. Mmmm, it smells great! It reads here “Pain au Chocolat”… Yummy!
