Whispering Verse

"So, you lose."

During breakfast early on Thursday morning, Shade, who was reading the newspaper at the dining table, suddenly said to Luvia, who had just sat down next to him.

The fortune teller lady blinked blankly:

"What are you losing? Do you mean that the breakfast I made is not as delicious as Dorothy's? Oh, Shade, I have been practicing often."

Shade said hurriedly:

"No, no, what did you say? I respect and admire every girl equally who is willing to make breakfast for me, and I sincerely thank and like you."

These words made Luvia blush a little, but at least the expression on her face turned into a smile:

"So where did I lose?"

"Last night, in the middle of the night, didn't you still insist on letting me send little Mia to the closet? That's not what you said before going to bed. I said at the time that I wanted to try to see what you think about little Mia not going to the closet. You Said it wouldn't affect us. But you see, you're not used to it either."

When the cat lowered its head and licked the goat's milk, when it heard Shade mention its name, it quickly turned its head, trotted over and rubbed Shade's hand. It was very perfunctory, and then quickly returned to the milk basin to continue licking the milk.

As for Luvia, she reached out and patted Shade because of his words, with a half-red and half-embarrassed expression on her face:

"Who knows that little Mia doesn't sleep well at night? When I say I don't care about it, I mean that she curls up and sleeps on the side, not that she stands next to the pillow and stares at us with big eyes when we turn off the lights. Her eyes even It will shine, who can endure it when a pair of eyes looks at him without blinking?"

Shade thought for a while:

"Maybe it's not curiosity, it just thinks you're bullying me."

"Oh, Shade, who is bullying whom?"

After breakfast, Shade and Luvia entered Tobesk in the early morning together. The carriage took them to the Dawn Church in Dawn Square, and they soon met Priest August in the church.

In name, this visit was because Shade wanted to know what tasks he had been assigned in the upcoming "Holy Prayer Festival", so Priest August also gave Shade the information he had originally prepared to send over the weekend. Shard.

When Shade and Luvia left the church, the purple-eyed girl nodded sadly:

"Yes, Priest Augustus is also a candidate for the seventh choice. It is impossible to determine the order. I can only confirm that the order is not particularly high."

"So, when should we tell the priest about this?"

Shade asked, and Luvia, who was holding his arm, shook her head:

"You decide for yourself. Although I have known Priest Augustus for a long time, you are the one who knows him best. However, I suggest that if you can really get that angel-level sword today, it is best not to Give it to Priest August immediately. You can take it in yourself, or let the witches keep it for you."

"I understand that given the current state of the priest, it is best not to have too much contact with such relics."

Neither of them planned to find the carriage, but planned to hold hands and walk back to Saint Teresa Square together in the early morning mist. There is not much such leisure time, and they all cherish this moment.

Shade and Luvia finally separated in Saint Teresa Square. Luvia went to work at the Prophet Association, while Shade planned to take little Mia to Moon Bay.

But after opening the door, there was someone inside the house. When I came upstairs, I found that Lecia and Miss Carina were in the study, while the maids were busy in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Lesia, didn't you say you wouldn't come to see me before the exam is over on the weekend?"

Shade bent down and put the cat on the floor, and asked while handing the coat to the maid.

The red-haired girl came out of the study, with a smile in her green eyes:

"Look what you said, Shade, how could I not come to see you?"

As she said this, she put her arms around Shade's neck and was about to kiss him, but was stopped by Miss Carina behind her:

"Lecia, let me have a few words with our knight first, don't be so anxious."

The duchess also came out of the study:

"Shadow, until the end of this week, can I borrow the study room in this house every day during the day?"

"Of course, isn't this home?"

Shade asked, and the ladies of the Cavendish family guessed the answer.

"But what are you going to do here? Decorate the Yodel Palace?"

Shade was joking, Lesia let go of Shade's neck:

"It's not that the decoration is bad, it's just that the changes in the earth and the light are causing more and more disasters like this. Although the probability is very small, in order to prevent these things from happening in Yodel Palace, some of my brothers and sisters are making appointments. Due to the unfortunate death at Yodel Palace, the church plans to re-install safety ceremonies at Yodel Palace.”

The duchess also nodded:

"Yes, it will probably be taken care of this week. And since the ceremony needs to be arranged, the Peace Church, which is responsible for this matter, plans to thoroughly purify the Yodel Palace again, which can be regarded as 'sweeping the floor and tidying up the rooms.'

My nephew couldn't refuse this proposal. After all, it was for the good of the royal family, so I could only temporarily move out to work, just in case something was discovered by the church's detection ritual. "

Lesia also pointed to herself:

"I took out some of the contraband in the room and moved it to you, and now I have put it downstairs. I will also be at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square during the day these few days. My father has already thought of an excuse, so he said I’m going to the countryside for vacation. When Carina comes to you, she’s not afraid of anyone gossiping.”

She looked at Shade:

"It just so happens that I have to study with peace of mind these few days, so I will live here. We will temporarily move out until Saturday, and it will not delay your group's exam here."

"No problem, you can stay wherever you want. I have a lot of rooms here."

As he said this, he looked at little Mia again, thinking whether to let the girl from Yuewan take care of it or let the ladies at home take care of it.

But Shade also thought that Carina and Lesia were busy here, so he decided to take it to Moon Bay. There were Tifa and little Lianna there, and the cat would not be lonely.

After saying goodbye to the ladies of the Cavendish family, Shade set off for Moon Bay. When he arrived at Belindel Manor, he happened to see Emilia yawning as if she was basking in the sun on the second floor terrace of the mansion. When he lowered his head and saw Shad, thinking of how he had yawned just now, the elf girl quickly Run away from the terrace.

It seems that the witches really asked her to participate in the research and testing of empty bottle fruits and alien light sources last night.

Miss Belindell has gone out, Miss Benanith and Miss Sylvia are not there, and Miss Swift has also gone to Cassandra Auction House. There are only Tifa and Miss Elese in the manor now. The former is busy in the basement with the maids from the North and South, while Miss Elese is waiting to set off with Shade to find the sword.

Shade originally wanted to say hello to the little princess and the elf girl before setting off, but unexpectedly Miss Elise stopped Emilia:

"Take the unicorn and come with us. Maybe it will be smoother with you here."

"me?"

The girl with pointed ears pointed at herself. Seeing that Shade had no objection, she immediately nodded excitedly:

"Please wait for me a moment, I will change some clothes and go out. Little Liana, come with me quickly, we are going out!"

After the devil's matter was resolved, although Shade said she could go out at any time, in order not to cause trouble to Shade, she actually never went out once. She only planned to go to the city with Agelina this weekend. .

At this time, the elf girl was naturally excited to be actively invited out to participate in the adventure.

The red-haired little princess watched Emilia leave, and then looked pitifully at Shade and Miss Elise.

Because Shade didn't know what was going on with the angel-level relic, he didn't make a decision himself, but looked at the blue-eyed girl.

The latter shook his head regretfully:

"Sorry, Miss Cavendish, we can only take Miss Siam Nord with us this time, it's not safe there."

"I understand. I'll go to the basement later to help Tifa and the others."

She nodded slightly, then sent the group of three people to the back door of the manor, and watched the little unicorn happily climb into the carriage compartment. The carriage drove them away, and Agelina, holding a handkerchief, waved goodbye to them. It wasn't until the carriage was no longer visible that she pursed her lips and clenched her fists.

As for the other side, when the carriage drove out of the manor, Miss Elisa told Shade a piece of new news:

"Shad, do you still remember the man we met at Margaret Manor on Tuesday night who had a heart attack and fell off the second floor terrace after being suspected of being cursed by a relic?"

"You mean Mr. Leonard Baldwin, the director of the bridge and road engineering department at Moon Bay City Hall?"

Shade asked, the girl sitting opposite him nodded, while Amelia's eyes widened and she was looking at the city from the car window.

"Yes, because you kept Miss Belindle paying attention. She told me in the morning that she had received news that Leonard Baldwin, who was in hospital, had died."

Shade raised his eyebrows:

"Still a heart attack?"

The blue-eyed girl shook her head slightly:

"We don't know yet. It is said that he died in a dream. The body is still being dissected, but there is a high probability that only a hidden disease will be detected. Because there is no supernatural phenomenon, this matter has not attracted the attention of the church."

"But the whispering element I felt at that time couldn't be an illusion. I went to find that sword first."

He patted the slender box he was carrying, causing the little beast lying in the carriage to look over. It looks like it's carrying a fishing rod, but actually it contains a [Night Watchman].

The carriage took them all the way out of the city, and then arrived at a small farm belonging to the Belindel family in the north of the city. After borrowing two horses at the farm, Emilia sat sideways on the back of the unicorn, while Shade and Miss Elise continued riding their horses in a direction away from the city.
