Whispering Verse

The tide crashed, the rain pattered, and the campfire crackled. The disappearance of her voice actually left people with a feeling of loss. Miss Belindel, who was in Shade's arms, wanted to raise her head, but then she immediately heard a sound like a big fish turning over in the water, which frightened her again. She shrank back into Shade's arms and shivered.

But Shade knew that the "mermaid" should have left, because the bonfire in the small camp was swelling back to its original size, and at the same time, the thick fog that surrounded the reef under the sea cliff was also quickly dissipating.

In fact, in just a few tens of seconds, the thick fog of unknown origin completely disappeared. The rain was still falling. Sitting on the rocks and looking into the distance, I saw the endless sea and the silhouettes of ships traveling to and from Yuewan Port.

The power of that unspeakable mental infection has subsided, but its impact will last for a long time. But after all, this was not the first time that Shade encountered [Desire], so he had rich experience and quickly adjusted himself. However, the fragile and boneless blond lady he was holding in his arms was still buried in his chest. Ken looked up.

Although [Desire] has left, after all, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Shade tried to call "Miss Belindle" a few times, but only got her squirming and shaking her head twice in response. After the witch screamed in a high-pitched voice, he directly picked her up like a princess. .

The two of them returned to the room at the bottom of the elevator. At this time, the maids and ladies who were unconscious here also woke up one after another. Among them, although Miss Matilda is not the one with the highest level, she has the most witch power because of her status as a witch apprentice, and she is the fastest to wake up.

Seeing Shade approaching with his master in his arms, and the postures of the two of them and Shade's expression were obviously wrong, the maidservant's lips wriggled a few times, but in the end she didn't say much, and just asked softly:

"Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry about me, let's go back now."

It was only then that she was willing to speak, but her voice was muffled because she was still buried in Shade's arms.

The other maids also got up at this time. After a little inspection, they found that they were just in a coma, not even dreaming. After Shade asked them if they still remembered what happened here, Miss Matilda answered on their behalf:

"We came to visit Countess Darmanin with the young lady, and then we discovered the weirdness in the manor. The young lady originally wanted to take us away temporarily, and then make plans after determining what is going on here. The departure went smoothly, Darman Countess Manin even sent us to the entrance of the manor, but when we came to our senses, we had clearly stepped on the elevator."

Although Countess Darmanin is weird, she does not have the ability to confuse the witch and these maids. There is a high probability that [Desire] cast the illusion herself.

"We fell into a coma after the elevator reached the bottom. When we woke up, you were already holding the lady and walking over. Are you okay?"

Matilda didn't ask "what happened" but asked like this. Shade nodded:

"It's okay. You don't have to think about things here anymore. This is caused by bad luck. It's all my fault for the crow. I thought it would only pay attention to me. No one should come to this manor again. Let's go back."

The elevator is very large, so it doesn't feel crowded when a group of people step on it. They returned to the basement of Count Darmanin's mansion smoothly. When they walked out of the basement, they saw the beautiful countess waiting for them with the maids.

She held the handkerchief in her right hand and covered her mouth with a smile, and said to Shade:

"Are you satisfied now? I will tell you that I can let you see your countess, and you will tell me whether you have seen her for the last time."

"Do you really know what you are following?"

Shade asked, but the Countess smiled and asked:

"Mr. Watson, you ask me this, but why don't you ask yourself what you are doing?"

After saying that, without giving Shade a chance to answer, he took the initiative to lead the way:

"I'll send you to the door. It's time for you to go back. Count Belindel looks like he can't bear it anymore. I'm a woman too, and I understand how she feels now."

She actually held the umbrella herself and sent the group to the entrance of the courtyard. The driver and carriage, which had disappeared, actually stopped at the end of the uphill road in front of the mansion. And when Shade hugged Miss Belindel and boarded the carriage, turned around and looked back at the mansion in the rain and the countess waving goodbye at the entrance of the courtyard, it just felt like a big and beautiful dream.

Nothing else happened on the way back to Belindel Manor. The maids and ladies in the manor who were waiting for everyone to return were relieved to see that everyone was safe and sound. Just seeing Miss Belindel being held by Shade and refusing to take the initiative to let go, I felt strange in my heart.

Of course Emilia and the little unicorn also came to the front hall of the manor to greet them. The little unicorn's perception is very keen. After seeing Shade, he originally wanted to move forward, but immediately showed a vigilant expression.

It cried softly a few times, blocking Emilia with its body to keep her from moving forward. Then it ran up to Shade, poked Shade with the horn on its head, then suddenly raised its front hooves, raised its head, and cried loudly:

"Ang~"

Although the sound was loud, it was not harsh at all, and along with the sound, the horn on the raised head emitted a circle of golden ripples.

As the ripples spread, the gentle but powerful spirit swept across the bodies of the group of people returning in the foyer. Shade felt warm all over his body, and all the moisture brought by the rainy day was swept away, and even his mood suddenly became very good.

[The unicorn is dispelling negative forces. 】

"She" explained softly in Shade's ear. As for the other maids, they all felt that the indescribable depression surrounding themselves was swept away. And a wisp of pink smoke floated out of the witch in Shade's arms. Even the power of the unicorn couldn't annihilate the pink smoke. Fortunately, Shade took out the perfume bottle in time.

The vial itself is in a full state. After the wisp of smoke actively enters the bottle, the essence begins to emit an increasingly charming pink light.

"Oh~"

The countess struggled slightly and then left Shade's arms. She lowered her head so that Shade wouldn't see her face. Miss Matilda took the initiative to support her. Then Miss Belindel didn't even say hello to Shade, so she was helped by Miss Matilda to the third floor. , Shade knew that she was going to the bathroom to wash up.

Of course, Shade would not follow without eyesight, but smiled and touched the head of the pure white beast:

"You see the evil power in us, right? Thank you so much, you are really powerful."

So the little unicorn called softly again, then circled around Shade and ran around happily. Emilia also came over at this time and looked at Shade worriedly. Shade shook his head slightly:

"It's okay, I said I can solve everything here."

The elf girl nodded slightly, but the depression in her heart became more obvious.

It was already lunch time on Friday, but everyone who had returned had to wash up and tidy up, so the lunch time at the manor was half an hour later than usual. During this time, Shade also went to wash up and change his clothes.

Of course there was a heated bath at the old Belindale Manor, but that was for the girls. The maids prepared a wooden bathtub for Shade and let him bathe in the guest room.

Shade rarely used the bathtub, but after his whole body soaked in it and sighed softly, he really felt his whole body relax.

The tub was very large, so it was fine for Shade to lie down with his feet up. I closed my eyes and wanted to relax, but I was worried that I would fall asleep, so I thought about what happened this morning, how to explain to the witch, how to carry out the weekend's actions, and what to do with the address given by [Desire] deal with.

While I was thinking, I suddenly heard the door being opened, followed by footsteps walking into the door and closing the door.

Shade thought it was some maid who came to bring a change of clothes, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the blonde countess wrapped in a white bathrobe.

He was surprised and wanted to stand up, but fortunately he still remembered that he was in a bathing state, so he opened his arms and grabbed the edge of the tub to stop himself from getting up.

Bella Belindel's face, set against the fat-red birthmark between her eyebrows and her fair, milk-like skin after washing, was even more charming than before. She quickly walked to the side of the tub as if she was going to punch Shade. Shade subconsciously retracted his head toward the water, but she stood there and stretched her head towards Shade.

The two chased each other and ran away, so when Shade's head was completely retracted under the water, and the witch's head was half submerged in the water, and her long blond hair that was not tied up was floating on the water, she kissed her. he.

The kiss happened in the water. Shade's eyes widened, but he saw her golden eyes looking at him. The passionate kiss was a little clumsy in the water, so amidst the splashing sound, she stretched her arms into the water and hugged Shade's neck, using very difficult movements to immobilize him to stop him from running around.

"Ha~"

After his long blond hair left the water, Xia De, who had been completely pinned down in the water just now, emerged from the bathtub gasping for air.

He wiped the water on his face indiscriminately, feeling like he was starving for oxygen. Beside the bathtub, Miss Belindel's hair was completely soaked, and water droplets were flowing down her cheeks. She was breathing hard while looking at Shade:

"I still want to kiss."

"What? No, there's no need to repeat it, I heard it. Is the effect from the morning still not gone?"

As he said that, Shade reached out to touch her forehead, but was opened by her hand.
