Whispering Verse

Just as Miss Louisa believed, the carriage that maid Tifa rode was indeed a carriage exclusively for nobles. The interior decoration and furniture look like a small reception room.

The black-haired maid sat there alone. She was still wearing the maid dress from the last time they met, and even the hairband was the same. He folded his hands and placed them on his lap. After seeing Shade, he nodded slightly:

"Good evening, Detective Hamilton."

"Good evening, am I late?"

After Shade sat down, he handed over the things wrapped in newspapers. But the black-haired maid didn't answer. She looked at Shade:

"It's not too late. Try opening it."

Shade glanced at the maid, didn't ask any questions, opened the lock again, and then tried to lift the lid of the lacquered wooden box, but still failed.

Then he handed the makeup box to Miss Tifa, and the box was opened with a gentle pull in the maid's hand. Shade looked over curiously, and the maid lady also turned the angle so that he could see the contents clearly.

A very ordinary cosmetic box, the interior is divided into small compartments, containing different cosmetics... Outsiders can't recognize any of them.

The black-haired maid was definitely a ring sorcerer. Shade didn't know what method the other party used, but after the faint brassy light flashed, she confirmed the authenticity of the item and smiled gently at Shade. :

"Detective, you did a great job."

"There's something else I want to say. The delivery man... I killed him. Does it matter?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

The maid tilted her head slightly and asked Shade doubtfully. She was about the same age as Shade's body, and her skin was unusually white. But not pale, but the color of milk. Her eyes are big and her black hair is most in line with the aesthetics of foreigners.

"I mean, will this affect Miss Cavendish..."

He probably understood that the other party didn't care about this.

"The lady likes to be called 'Miss Carina'."

the maid reminded.

"Okay, will this affect Miss Carina?"

"Mr. Hamilton, don't underestimate the power of the young lady, and don't think that [Mercury Blood] is a very powerful force."

The maid said, then patted the small box she put on the table and smiled at Shade:

"You did deliver this makeup box in accordance with the commission agreement. Other than that, Miss Carina won't care about anything you do... However."

She glanced at Shade's expression and asked softly:

"The explosion just now was not caused by you, right?"

Saint Teresa Square is only half an hour's walk from the pick-up location, so it was normal for her to hear the sound. Shade smiled awkwardly, and the maid didn't ask any more questions, but continued:

"Early on Sunday afternoon, I will send someone here to help you prepare for the night's Rhodes card game. Please don't go out. If you win, the lady will not be stingy with the reward. You will also know what she is doing by then. Which party it belongs to... Actually, you can guess it, the Witch Council."

She just told this secret information, and after realizing that Shade's surprise was not that obvious, she shook her head regretfully:

"The lady is right, you can guess it."

"That's what you told me?"

Shade was actually surprised by this. He had already thought that the other party was a member of the Witch Council.

"So what? Besides, after you win the bet on the weekend, won't you know the same thing?"

The maid replied, smoothing her hair.

The carriage drove the maid away from St. Teresa's Square. Shade watched her leave. Then he called to Miss Louisa who was standing in the shadow of the house, took out the key and opened the door.

Immediately, a dark figure rushed over in the lit foyer, and Shade happily hugged the cat that jumped from the shoe cabinet:

"Mia, are you bored at home?"

It was a joy to the lonely stranger to be greeted by a creature when he returned home.

The orange cat rubbed Shade with its soft little face, and then suddenly turned its nose and looked at Miss Louisa. It smelled the fishy smell.

"Oh, kittens meet again."

Miss Louisa greeted Mia, but the orange cat "snarled" at Miss Louisa again out of fear. Although this cat can be fierce at times, it is extremely timid and is still not used to being taken outside by Shade.

He took Miss Louisa to the second floor. Of course, there were no women's clothes in the young detective's home. But fortunately, Detective Sparrow had a lot of large windbreakers and coats for easy tracking. Miss Louisa changed clothes in Detective Sparrow Hamilton's bedroom, while Shade returned to the study to record today's transactions.

"I never expected that 'that lady' was Carina Cavendish."

This was the first thing the blonde said as she walked out of the bedroom, wiping her hair with a towel. She did not take a shower at the single man's house, but simply wiped her hair with a towel to ensure that she would not arouse the suspicion of the landlady when she returned.

"Huh? Did you see it?"

Shade put down the pen in his hand.

"Are you surprised? I actually recognized the maid, Tifa Servet. This is the personal maid of Duchess Carina Cavendish. Since she is here to hand over to you in person, then that lady , it must be Carina... I didn't expect that she is actually a high-level warlock... In this way, many things will be explained."

Miss Louisa walked to the sofa while thinking.

Xia De was originally sorting out the account books, but now he can’t continue:

"The maid only showed her face. I almost didn't recognize her."

"This is my little secret. I have a good relationship with a certain member of the royal family. To be precise, I have a good relationship with a certain princess of the royal family."

The blonde girl said lightly, then looked around the detective agency. Just like the visiting Miss Bayas and Miss Anat, she also became interested in the cute little cat Mia. Unfortunately, even though she still smelled fishy from the relics, Mia still didn't like being held by strangers.

The professor at St. Byrons suspected that Miss Louisa was an academic spy at the Zarath School of Liberal Arts, but judging from her appearance, it seemed that the secret was deeper.

“This place is really nice.”

Miss Louisa commented.

"Please don't tell others about Miss Carina."

Shade ordered again.

"Of course I won't talk nonsense about her being a ring sorcerer. I just know it myself. Just now I was just sighing, how come everyone seems to have secrets."

She said this jokingly, and Shade squinted his eyes and did not dare to look at her.

"However, you must be careful when cooperating with that woman. She has hated men since a long time ago. There are rumors in private that she actually likes... beautiful girls."

The blonde girl showed an ambiguous smile:

"This person has mysophobia. Is that the word? I heard the doctor mention it last time."

"Are you familiar with Miss Carina?"

Shade asked tentatively again. He didn't want to know other people's secrets, he was just curious.

Miss Louisa picked up the strands of hair beside her ears with her fingers and looked at that strand of hair instead of Shade. This was an obvious sign of lying.

"Of course I'm not familiar with her. Carina Cavendish is a duchess with a fiefdom. I'm just an ordinary Torbesk writer. Where did I know her? I just heard her mentioned by a friend. However, the high-level warlock, annoying Men, single..."

Then she looked at Shade:

"I thought it was strange before, but now that I know these things, I think that she is not a member of the Witch Council, right? She meets all these standards. Oh, if this is really the case, then the Cavendish royal family of Delarion Things are getting more and more interesting.”

The blond female writer raised her neck, and her smile became more obvious under the light of Shade's living room.

Her relationship with the royal family is definitely not that simple.
