Whispering Verse

This time's sleep was particularly reassuring to Bella Belindel, and it was particularly long and strange. She seemed to be dreaming of something, but she seemed to be dreaming of nothing at all.

When he was startled awake by a pair of purple eyes that suddenly appeared, he realized that his body was shaking and felt the wind blowing on him. Only then did the blonde witch realize that she was lying in Shade's arms, and everyone was already on their way back to the city.

She had put her clothes back on and had an extra hooded cloak to protect her from the cold. She was sitting sideways in front of Shade, and was held by Shade with one hand. The clothes on her body and the person in front of her were providing warmth.

Shade also noticed that Miss Belindel woke up and her voice came from the wind:

"Are you awake? The treatment was successful. We saw that you were asleep and did not wake you up. Please do not move your right shoulder for the time being. We did not encounter an attack. We will arrive at St. George's Stone Bridge soon. If you want to sleep , you can sleep a little longer."

She felt that the "non-existence" on her face and right shoulder had disappeared. Although the flow of spirit in the body and soul is still somewhat stagnant, the four elements have barely returned to balance.

"Um."

Nodding gently in Shade's arms, the tired witch did not "blame" Shade for his rudeness at the moment, but tightened the arms that had hugged him for some reason, then closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms again. past.

When Miss Belindel woke up again, she saw the familiar ceiling in front of her:

"Belindle Manor has returned."

This was her own bedroom, and when she woke up she felt as if she was completely back to normal. It was still night outside, and the maids who came over after hearing the noise were asked by the Countess to prepare tea and supper after entering the room:

"what time is it?"

She leaned on the head of the bed in a daze, and then realized that she had changed into pajamas.

"Ten o'clock. Miss, we came back an hour ago."

replied Miss Matilda.

"What about him?"

Although she didn't mention her name, the blonde maid knew who she was asking, lowered her eyes and said:

"The gentleman left after returning to the manor with us. He left the magic potion formula and will come back tomorrow morning with the relic. The [Moonlight Water] and [Sun Fire] are needed to prepare the potion. The manor does not have enough reserves for rare materials such as ] and [Light of the Sun], and the gentleman also said he would bring them."

"Um."

He closed his mouth and made a sound through his nose. After nodding slightly, he tilted his head and looked at the lotus leaf-shaped gas table lamp placed on the bedside table:

"Matilda, am I out of character tonight?"

The witch would only ask this question when facing her apprentice.

Although the maid thought that what happened tonight could no longer be described as "very rude", she still replied:

"If it's your choice, there's no gaffe."

Her body under the duvet curled up, and she raised her hands to cover her cheeks. Then he looked down at the shoulders under the pink nightgown. There were no scars on the snow-white shoulders, but the shoulders still exuded a faint light. This didn't seem strange at all, but it made the Countess herself feel seductive.

"Miss, when the treatment just ended, your whole body was exuding the light of the silver moon. When you returned to the city, the light gradually faded. Now there is only a faint light on your shoulders and cheeks, but the gentleman said that tomorrow It will disappear.”

So without saying a word, the witch reached out to the divination cards on the bedside again, and pulled out the first one, which was indeed "the moon":

"Silver moonlight."

A hoarse voice suddenly asked:

"Matilda, do you think it's possible that John Watson is the 'Godcaller'?"

The blonde maid looked into the witch's golden eyes and wondered for a moment, then shook her head:

"The moonlight tonight is indeed beautiful, but it is the seventh ring."

"Yes, Seven Rings."

The witch curled up on the bed also repeated it, her eyes were in a trance, as if she could still see the moonlight in the forest:

"If he is the God Summoner, there will be many strange explanations for many things so far."

He pursed his lower lip and touched his right cheek with his left hand:

"I feel like I'm getting weird, Matilda."

"Miss, you need to rest."

"Yes, I need to rest. But what if I see the silver moon again in my dream?"

The loyal maid still lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, while the sad countess looked at her.

"Miss, maybe the meeting in the dream was not a mistake. Tomorrow, the silver moon will come to visit you again. No matter what decision you make, give him some other tasks to test what kind of person he is."

The blond lady on the bed nodded, leaned against the bed and closed her eyes and stopped talking. The blonde maid excused herself in a low voice and left the room to greet the maid in the corridor to prepare hot water and new pajamas for her master to wash up in a while.

The bedroom on the third floor of the manor did not draw the curtains, but the moon could not be seen clearly at night in the city. Suddenly, those golden eyes opened again, turned to look at the window, and then said to himself reflected in the glass with self-pity:

"Vanessa, you really made a big joke on me this time."

The palms moved to the shoulders:

"Is the encounter between that man and us really a fateful choice?"

(Little Mia is running.)

An hour ago, No. 6, Saint Teresa Square, Delrayon-Tobesk City.

"Oh, I'm finally back."

After confirming that the tooth marks on his neck had completely disappeared, the cautious foreigner walked into the room from the corridor on the second floor. The red-haired princess, who was wearing a nightgown and reading a book with her sister on the sofa, raised her head and saw Shade coming back. She stood up with a smile and walked over to take off his coat:

"You have to go out to do things at night. The witches in the Moon Bay area are really rude."

After getting close to Shade, he sniffed lightly, and unexpectedly smelled an unfamiliar perfume. But what she was more concerned about was the smell of blood. When she handed the coat to the maid, Lesia's eyes showed a worried look:

"injured?"

"It's alright. I'm already in the seventh ring. How many people in the Moon Bay area can be my opponents? Lesia, you can't imagine that tonight we actually encountered a werewolf, which is a very rare creature. Also, We encountered a strange light that could melt almost everything. The local witch was caught in the act to protect her apprentice, but fortunately she was fine."

Holding Lesia's hand and walking to the sofa, Agelina also put down the book in her hand and said hello to Shade sweetly. The cat lying on the back of the sofa stood up and gave Shade a rather disgusted "meow~". Shade knew that the cat was dissatisfied with the smell of his body.

"If this is the case, using the power of space to cut the space will repel the light. The propagation of light has spatial continuity. Miss Sylvia mentioned in the notes given to us that it would be great if we could go to Moon Bay to help you. ”

Lesia pursed her lips, but what she heard was Shade's apology:

"I'm really sorry. It took a lot of time for you to leave Yodel Palace to see me, but I have to go out at night."

But the red-haired princess didn't care and looked at him with her green eyes:

"What are you talking about? Isn't this night just beginning?"

The maid brought a new teacup, and Agelina took it and poured the tea herself. Lesia continued to whisper:

"If you feel tired, just rest tonight. I'm glad to see you."

Agelina's ears moved. This action was exactly the same as that of little Mia, who seemed to understand the conversation at the moment. It's just that the little princess is guessing where her sister will sleep, and the cat is guessing where she will sleep.

"Tired? Lesia, are you looking down on me?"

Shade asked with a smile. Her Royal Highness was relieved now, knowing that although he was injured tonight, it should not be a serious matter.

He narrowed his eyes, then stretched out his hand towards Shade's collar, and then pulled out a long golden hair with a smile.

The maids kept their mouths shut and did not dare to speak. Agelina looked at her sister with wide eyes. Shade immediately realized that this was probably Miss Belinder's hair. This scene was of course embarrassing. Lesia was not blaming Shade, she just wanted to make a little joke. She was about to say jokingly, "You really like Dorothy's blond hair better than red hair," but she didn't expect Shade. He reached out, gently cut off a piece of her hair, and then put the red hair on his collar.

Her Royal Highness the Princess threw away the hair in her hands and patted him with a smile:

"Really, don't pull my hair casually, it's so rude."

Even Agelina could see how happy she was at this moment.

"Go take a shower. Look at what you look like now. I've asked the maids to prepare hot water. The steam pipe system is really the greatest invention of this era."

She pushed Shade, who picked up the tea cup and stood up with a smile. He took a sip of tea and was about to take a bath when he heard Lesia say to her maids and sister:

"After finishing what you are doing in a while, you can go downstairs to rest. Agelina, keep an eye on little Mia tonight."

"Sister, I don't want to live downstairs. Let me and little Mia live on the side."

The little princess said, but Lesia shook her head regretfully:

"That won't work. I want to try it in the study tonight. Since the princess finally left the palace to meet her knights privately, of course she has to have more fun. Since Shade celebrated his birthday last month, he has never touched her again. And me."

She looked at Agelina, and the little princess actually saw a threatening look in her tender and sad expression:

"knew"

"Ahem."

Shade originally wanted to take advantage of the night when it was not too dark to go to the new room on the third floor or the Green Island to try the "hand-charged" moonlight wheel that Miss Isabella mentioned. But listening to the tone of Lecia and Agelina's conversation, I finally decided that it would be good to take a little rest tonight.

So Lecia took the maids to the bedroom to clean up, while the other maids were in the kitchen preparing ingredients for tomorrow morning's breakfast. The seventeen-year-old young princess pouted and was a little unhappy, but when she lowered her head, she saw the tea cup that Shade had just taken a sip from right in front of her.

Her eyes widened slightly, she looked left and right cautiously, her body leaned back, but her right hand was slightly raised as if to pick up something.

"Meow~"

Suddenly I heard the cat meow again, and turned around to see little Mia standing on the sofa, looking at her with bright eyes.

"Oh, Agelina."

The princess immediately slapped her face, questioning why she had such strange thoughts just now:

"It's so embarrassing. I'm the princess of Cavendish."

Thinking in his mind, he picked up the cup of tea and took a sip very naturally.
