Whispering Verse

"Carina, in order to tease me, you even let your grandniece, who is not yet a year old, kiss your lover?"

Meghan, trembling with anger, pointed at the duchess, who corrected her with a smile:

"Although little Agelina is not tall and has a pitiful figure, she is already an adult. Besides, I didn't force her. She might even thank me."

"you......"

"Megan, there is no need for you to be so angry. You are hiding your identity and thinking about my knight. What's wrong with me giving you a surprise? By the way, this has nothing to do with Shade. He always wanted me to give up."

"I know this has nothing to do with him, but now that I think about it, his weird behavior all the time can be explained clearly. So, it's all you... We agreed that we are all members of the council and we are all sisters? "

Megan gasped to calm down her emotions, and Miss Carina said with a smile:

"Yes, this is how the sisters of our Cavendish family get along. If you don't believe me, you can ask Agelina later. Even the sisters of our family will do even more extreme things when they get along."

She blinked:

"You can't accept this kind of joke, right?"

Megan's mouth trembled, and she raised her hand and threw the wine glass at her. It seemed that the two of them were quite restrained. The red-haired witch had long expected that she would do this. With a flick of her finger, there was a clang, and the wine glass flew back again. Not a drop of wine was spilled in the cup, and at the same time, a layer of uncertain light was attached to the surface of the cup:

"You won't forget that I am the twelfth ring and you are the eleventh ring, right?"

Megan reached out to catch the cup, but she didn't expect the glass to pass through her hand like a phantom. The red-haired witch was about to smile and let the wine glass turn from virtual to solid, ending this little fight, but she saw a pure white translucent spirit arm stretching out from behind Megan to catch the glass.

Then, two spirit arms hugged Megan's shoulders, and a spirit head that was exactly the same as Megan poked out from behind her through Megan's brown hair.

Although she had seen many strange scenes, the duchess was still shocked by this scene:

"you......"

"Okay, the joke is over."

Shade spoke and asked seriously to the red-haired witch beside him:

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied, tonight was really fun."

Miss Carina said with a smile, and then apologized to Megan:

"I know you are angry, so I apologize for the joke. Isn't this kind of welcome ceremony very interesting? And you see, the results are very good now, and you don't have to worry about me reporting Shade. You should be happy."

She took Shade to the sofa, and Shade apologized again:

"Meghan, Audrey, I'm so sorry, I was also a participant in this prank."

"You don't have to apologize to me, I know who I should blame."

Audrey's spirit body said, and then Megan's hand suddenly pulled Xia in front of them. Then in front of Miss Carina, the body and soul overlapped, and the two kissed Xia together. Virtue.

The red-haired witch still smiled and sat down gracefully, holding a wine glass and watching the scene. After the two...three people separated, he motioned for them to sit down and talk:

"If you want to vent your dissatisfaction and anger in this way, I will not object. This joke is a bit too much, but I will always seek justice for myself. But today I opened my eyes. It turns out that three people kiss like this ...Is this your perfect 'two-in-one' posture? It's so beautiful."

The last half of her sentence was not sarcastic, but sincere:

"But we've had enough trouble. Let's sit down and talk. There's a lot more to say."

After saying that, he shouted to the door again, asking Agelina to take Tifa and other maids back to the banquet hall to maintain the order of the banquet in place of Miss Carina, who was temporarily absent. So Agelina, who was lying on the door and eavesdropping, took a step back before responding.

Inside the door, Audrey's upper body soul returned to her body. She held a wine glass and sat opposite Carina. She watched Shade sit on the sofa next to her, and then was pulled to sit next to her by the red-haired witch.

After the anger and shame, this great witch of wisdom and knowledge also thought about the situation rationally again. She watched quietly as Carina arranged for Agelina to return to the banquet hall. She actually used this time to calm down and think about everything that had happened so far.

"Carina, you are really good at understanding other people's emotions."

She stared at the red-haired witch opposite, who toasted her with a glass of wine:

"Thanks for the family education."

After raising his eyebrows, he took the initiative to explain:

"Calm down? It seems that you accepted my apology. But don't you admit that you are secretly happy now?"

"What's going on with you and Shad Hamilton?"

Megan asked, and Shade took the initiative to answer:

"Last summer, I met Carina in Tobesk. At first, she also used many methods to test my identity and gender, and later she made an agreement with me to explore the origin of my specialness together. And later... ....”

"I fell into the big web called love woven by the knight."

The duchess smiled and looked at Meghan:

"Although I teased you, you have to admit that we stand together."

"Since we are standing together, you should inform me of these things in advance. If the council knows about Shade because of your concealment, what will happen then?"

Megan asked in a stern tone, so the red-haired witch stretched her hand to Shade's neck, drew a thin line, and then took out the badge:

"Do you think Shade and I are unprepared? Look at this, it's a tool made according to the alchemy formula of the Fifth Era and can detect witches. But it's not very effective on you. It has to be within one meter to be effective."

She gently motioned for Shade to bow his head, then took off the pendant and threw it to Megan. After the latter took it, he felt an amazing amount of heat, and immediately understood what was causing the heat in his chest every time he hugged Shade.

When he saw the emblem of "Duchess of Saladir" on the pendant, the corners of his mouth twitched a few more times.

Shade also explained:

"Megan, the first few times I saw you, I wasn't sure whether you were a witch or not. It wasn't until we met the Mirror Hidden Man and you were forced to turn into a cat that I was sure of your identity as a witch."

"Then I won't let him tell you his identity."

Miss Carina took the initiative and said that she really didn't want to embarrass Shade. He leaned gently on Shade and said in a sweet tone:

"I wasn't sure about your attitude towards Shade at that time. After all, this was the first time that an exception like Shade had appeared. I think you can understand my worries, right? My thoughts at that time were exactly the same as yours just now. ."

"you......"

Megan took a deep breath, and then took the initiative to switch to Audrey, letting her sister continue to deal with the matter in front of her:

"It is said to be for Shade's safety, but I feel like you are deliberately retaliating against me for seducing you..."

She paused suddenly, knowing that she could never admit this:

"In revenge, I knew Shade's identity but didn't share it with you."

"What makes you think that? That's ridiculous."

The Duchess denied this lightly. However, she had no grudge against Audrey and Meghan. She was satisfied that she had achieved her goal tonight and did not want to provoke the relationship between the two too much, so she restrained herself a little. With an expression on his face, he said seriously:

"I'll tell you some good news. You don't have to worry about the council's attitude towards Shade. The number of witches who know about Shade's existence, including you, is just over half. There are six in total."

Audrey frowned slightly, this is indeed good news:

"There are so many of you, hiding this matter together, and no news has been leaked. You are really... great. Besides you and me, who else? You know this is important. "

Miss Carina motioned to Shade, and she drank red wine and looked at Shade who was close at hand.

"The second person who met me was Miss Sylvie Avora. Then I met Granny Xina Cassandra at Fort Midhill. Later, I met Princess Margaret during her visit to Tobesk. I met Miss Emma Sylvia. After the end of the year, I met Miss Vanessa Benenice of the Golden Dawn in Randall Valley at the beginning of this year.”

Shade said, and Audrey frowned deeply:

"How is your relationship with these witches? Are they just acquaintances, or are they already friends? Not all witches are as easy to get along with as Carina and I. For example, Xiwei, I am very sure that she is a traditional witch, absolutely not Might like men.”

"Xi Wei is very courageous. Your impression of her is too stereotyped. She and Sha De... Fortunately, I was the first to meet Sha De."

The Duchess said with a smile.

Audrey looked at Shade in surprise:

"You are more capable than I thought, and Xi Wei is also... But what about the others? For example, Granny Cassandra, don't tell me, Granny and Shade are also... .”

"No, no, please don't think so wildly."

Shade hurriedly shook his head to deny her too bold idea:

"I just know my mother-in-law's teachers, so my mother-in-law Cassandra trusts me very much. You can think of it this way, there is absolutely no way she can be unfavorable to me."

Audrey and Megan had also heard some rumors about the old witch's teachers. In addition, the wishing demon said that he had met Shade thousands of years ago, so they did not go into details:

"What about Sylvia? A young and independent girl like that, even if she meets a special case like Shade, she won't be easily attracted to him, right? The young girl is not us, she is the witch of the new era."

The duchess holding the wine glass almost laughed:

"Sylvia is the most extreme among us. She hopes that Shade will be her apprentice, yes, an apprentice in that kind of relationship. She admires Shade very much, and thinks that Shade is one of the rare like-minded people. people."

"Is there such a thing?"

Audrey accepted this fact when she saw Shade nodding:

"So, does the gentleman in front of me have a PhD in mathematics or physics? Or, are you a so-called citizen scientist with many interesting inventions?"

When it comes to this topic, Shade is really embarrassed:

"I...I am actually illiterate and have never gone to school. Apart from not telling you that I know you are a witch, I have never lied about other things about me. I really didn't have any family or friends before. A loved one’s bum.”

Shade shook his head slightly, Audrey showed an apologetic expression, and finally asked:

"What about Vanessa? Isn't she a staunch celibate? Even if she regrets it, I think she is looking for Miss Sirius Lassus. What does she think of Shade?"

"What do you think...she performed alone for Shade."

The Duchess looked at Shade sideways, and Shade suddenly recalled Miss Benenice's passionate solo dance when they parted ways in Randall Valley... The spotlight on the stage that day was very bright and hot.

"Moreover, neither Shade nor she would say what exactly she performed. That female opera singer knows performances and role-playing better than you do, and she captured my knight without knowing it."

The Duchess said softly, summarizing the current situation:

"So far, except for the Speaker, more than half of the members of the parliament are standing by Shade. Even if the Speaker discovers him now, even if the parliament has to discuss the plan to deal with him, we account for half of the members. Number of people.”
