Whispering Verse

Shade rarely delayed matters, so in order to continue investigating the words that Croyin left for him from the fifth era, he went to Green Lake early on Friday morning, and at 7:30 in the morning, he The Foran brothers were waiting at the entrance of the Kasenlik Embassy in Green Lake City.

He revealed his identity to the two brothers, and then the three of them entered the "Moss Tavern" not far away. Even among Green Lake's generally relatively new buildings, this tavern is surprisingly old. But this is also the business characteristic of the tavern. Entering here is like going back to more than 200 years ago.

Early in the morning is when there are the fewest customers in the pub, and even the bartender behind the counter looks drowsy. The servants were cleaning up the garbage left by the last group of guests who had been drinking all night before dawn, while the cook in the kitchen was having breakfast with the helpers in the corner.

The three of them declined the "Green Moss Beer" offered by the yawning bartender. After each ordering a cup of hot tea, they sat down against the wall. Shade didn't waste any more time to say pleasantries, and first took out their pedigree identification report:

"Your great-uncle, Alphonse Edwards, was indeed not an adopted son."

"I think the blood of the family is more important than whether the great uncle is a member of the family."

The two brothers looked at the results on the report in surprise:

"Are we actually half-elves?"

Although the obvious elf blood of the two brothers is not as high as Megan and Audrey, it barely exceeds 10%, and they are indeed considered half-elves. It’s just that the elven blood of Edwards’ bloodline doesn’t seem to show much in appearance. At least from their appearance, they don’t have features like pointed ears at all:

"It should be considered. Keep this report to yourself. It may be useful in exploring your talents in the future. I came to you this time because of another matter."

"Please tell me."

After Shade introduced them to Megan, the two brothers' attitude towards Shade was obviously more than just respect and fear, so their communication became smoother:

"I know you are members of the [Rosicrucian Order], oh, don't be so surprised, this is not difficult to investigate. I think you have not been discovered by the church to be descendants of the Edwards family, and the [Rosicrucian Order] should be the same. He helped. That’s it, I want to talk to the [Rosicrucian Order] about something related to a certain old god.”

"Excuse me, what's going on?"

asked his brother Eric, who wore a monocle on his right eye.

"I accidentally learned a prayer statement related to the sect of the old god [God of Love]. I hope I can explain it to the believers of this old god... Aren't you her followers?"

Although the brothers were very devout when they saw them at the [War and Peace Church] last time, Shade still asked. Eric and Charles both shook their heads:

"We are not, we believe in [Peaceful Father]. Sir, your investigation is really detailed. Now very few people know the connection between the old god's order and us. Although we are considered [Rosicrucian Order] A relatively core member, but I don’t know much about it. However, in order to protect and help us two, [Rosicrucian Society] plans to send people to the local area, and those who come will definitely be highly respected members of the organization... ..."

Shade guessed that this was also related to the Chosen One. Even if [Rosicrucian Order] did not intend to control the Chosen One themselves, they certainly would not care about it at all.

"Sir, I will introduce you to a meeting next week. The time is uncertain. If there is news, we will contact my aunt to inform you about it."

Eric said, Shade nodded:

"Then I'll trouble you."

"It's not troublesome. However, we actually have something to ask you."

The two brothers said hesitantly. They looked at each other, and Charles, who was wearing a monocle in his left eye, asked hesitantly:

"That's right, what is your relationship with our aunt...?"

They didn't dare to ask Megan directly last time. The elder put more pressure on them than Shade, the "high-level warlock".

"Relationship? Well...it's hard to explain, but you can assume that your aunt and I completely trust each other, and there will be a more significant relationship breakthrough next week. A relationship that is closer than best friends. "

When he said this, the two brothers understood.

Shade did not stay in Green Lake City for long. After all, the banquet at Yodel Palace in the evening still required serious preparations from him. Although the theme of the banquet was to bid farewell to the second negotiating delegation led by Miss Carina, in fact, what was more important to Shade was the Day of the Red Butterfly.

To participate in such an important banquet, a female companion is needed, and Shade's female companion was directly selected as Dorothy. He has also informed Luvia about this in advance and hopes that she can help take care of little Mia tonight. The purple-eyed girl agreed and told Shade to have a good time at the banquet.

Shade didn't know if this was really her blessing.

Nothing interesting happened at this Friday's banquet. As a central social figure, Miss Carina is quite busy and does not have much time to spend with Shade. Except for the moment when she introduced several important members of the negotiating delegation to Shade at the beginning of the banquet, Shade never spoke to her again before the dance started at around nine o'clock.

Not only Miss Carina, but also the King and Queen Diana participated in this important banquet. This should be the highest-profile banquet in Tobesk City since 1854, and all the participants are important figures who can directly affect the order of the entire kingdom.

Shade even thought with pleasure that, except for reporters and servants of the royal family, maybe his status here was the lowest.

Outsiders had very little experience with this kind of banquet. Seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet was formal and serious, he originally thought that Lecia's "date" plan would not go smoothly because he really couldn't figure out how he could do it without being noticed. Leave the banquet hall.

It turned out that Lecia was still more skilled. At about 7:30, Dorothy was called away by Lecia, while Shade watched the exciting Rhodes competition going on at the Rhodes table from behind the crowd. Suddenly someone called him from behind, and then the maid told Shade that Queen Diana wanted to see him.

When the maid arrived at the seating area in the southeast corner of the banquet hall, people were already sitting around Queen Diana. The pregnant queen's condition was now a little visible, and she was holding the hand of Agelina sitting on the right, smiling and praising her daughter's intelligence and beauty with the duchesses.

Lesia said that her mother, Queen Diana, treated almost all children equally, but she loved Agelina the most. Agelina, as the originally scheduled princess by marriage to the royal family, was able to reach the age of seventeen without being engaged, which also meant that the queen was showing favoritism.

"Look who's here? It's our knight."

Seeing Shade being brought over, Queen Diana smiled and introduced Shade's identity to the ladies whom Shade didn't know. Nowadays, not only everyone in the city knows about Shade and Miss Carina, but at least everyone has heard about it. After Shade was forced to greet the women who were wearing all kinds of makeup and perfume, Queen Diana talked about the reason why she came to Shade:

"Agelina has always admired you."

She said cheerfully, patting the back of Agelina's hand who lowered her head shyly:

"It just so happens that you are here to attend the banquet. How about walking with Agelina in the garden and telling your story? Young girls always admire young gentlemen with stories, and I noticed that your daughter My companion is not here for the time being, and Duke Carina still has some matters to attend to, so I would like to ask Agelina to introduce you to the Yodel Palace."

The noble ladies around did not feel there was any problem with this arrangement. After all, the relationship between Shade and Miss Carina was already a fact, and most people here also knew the king's arrangement for Agelina, and they only thought it was Dai. Queen Anna wants to bring the relationship closer and help her daughter realize her dream.

So, Shade left the banquet hall with Agelina naturally. After arriving in the quiet but beautiful Yodel Palace garden under the moonlight, Dorothy, who was wearing a red dress, and Lesia, who was wearing a gold dress, were already waiting for Shade.

The writer lady and Her Royal Highness the Princess stood side by side, surrounded by a bush full of roses. The alternately planted red and blue roses made them even more charming than usual.

"elder sister."

Agelina pursed her lips and greeted the two people standing together under the moon, feeling that their figures were so tall. Dorothy smiled and pushed Lecia, and Lecia took a step forward:

"You did well, Agelina."

Yoshad went for a walk in the garden, and it turned out to be Lesia's idea.

"I wish I could help you."

Agelina said softly, holding her hands together behind her back. She glanced at Shade and wanted to say goodbye, but Lesia stopped her:

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

She took out a very small golden pocket watch from the waistband of her skirt and took a look:

"It's seven forty now. I'm going to see Shade in my bedroom at eight twenty."

She put the pocket watch into Agelina's hand, and then winked at Shade:

"We don't want to miss the dance that starts at nine forty. If Aunt Carina doesn't see you then, she will punish us all."

He smiled and patted Agelina on the shoulder, then kissed the side of Shade's face.

The writer lady also smiled and said:

"Shadow, I have prepared some interesting activities, but don't forget the time while walking."

Then the two held hands and walked towards the other side of the garden. The maids are waiting for them, and the two of them will wait in Lesia's bedroom for the knight's arrival.
