Whispering Verse

Chapter 2607 Strengthening Courses and the Adopted Lady

The maid walking at the end closed the door of the studio. Ajelina tiptoed towards the door and made a listening gesture, then said happily:

"Good afternoon, Shade."

She smiled and picked up the cat, but Shade did not immediately change back to his original form:

"Good afternoon, Ajelina, your painting is really good.

Do you know where Leicia is now? I want to borrow her relic earring."

"My sister went to the countryside with my father and brother to inspect the autumn harvest. They will probably be back after dinner."

Seeing that Shade did not object, Ajelina kissed the cat fiercely on the face. If Shade was in human form, she would certainly be embarrassed to do this, but now she was facing just a cute cat.

Xia De and her had done even more extreme things, and he didn't react when he kissed her on the cheek:

"Then please help tell Lecia about this in the evening. If it's convenient, you can find time to ask Jialina to help bring the thing to me."

"Sister will definitely send it to your house herself. Are you leaving now? If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, can you let me paint an oil painting?"

She asked with a blink of her eyes, and that expression was really hard to refuse.

So the cat thought for a while:

"I don't have anything to do in the afternoon"

"Then let me paint a picture, it will be over soon."

Then he held the silver cat and put it on the high stool where the maid was sitting just now, and then happily picked up the brush and palette again.

So when the maids who prepared afternoon tea came back, Ajelina had no intention of having afternoon tea at all:

"You guys eat these snacks, I'm losing weight recently."

Although Ajelina said that she would finish the painting soon, in fact, when Carina came to Ajelina in the evening and told her that she and Iluna would take classes together next week, she saw a familiar cat squatting on a high stool as a painting model.

The cat looked at her with its big eyes. The red-haired duchess couldn't help but smile at first, but then she scolded with a stern face:

"I was wondering why you disappeared. It turns out that you abandoned me as your master and came to get close to little Ajelina, right?"

Although she said so, she didn't disturb Ajelina from completing the last part of the creation. But when Ajelina finished the painting, she still took the cat away:

"Ajelina, go change your clothes and go with us. We will only wait for you for 20 minutes. If you are not ready, we will not wait for you."

And Shade was able to return to human form in the carriage:

"I actually never understood why you are so interested in my cat form."

"Because this is the only opportunity for me to bully you, but you can't bully me."

The witch gave an irrefutable reason, and the little princess smiled secretly, then blinked and realized what she meant.

Yesterday, Shade came home very late and didn't have time to treat Vanessa with a formal dinner, but today everyone finally had time.

Carina Cavendish never cared about the cost, so she simply held a dinner at Rhodes Manor where the girls of the [Golden Dawn Opera] lived, and invited the girls of the opera and her followers to attend.

And the only man present was naturally Shade.

Although this dinner was formal, everyone was actually just wearing daily clothes. Luvia and Resia also appeared here after the banquet began. It was at this time that Resia handed the [Saint's Curse-Removing Stone] to Shade.

She did not ask Shade what he wanted the relic for, but just said jokingly:

"Shade will not give my jewelry to others as a gift, right?"

The banquet lasted from 6:30 to 8:30, and then the two witches followed Shade home. Of course, Resia and Ajelina could guess what happened that night. The gentleness and enthusiasm of the two witches probably caused some things to happen in Shade's bedroom that might not be written in the books:

"Is Shade okay?"

The little princess quickly followed her sister and asked worriedly:

"Sister, won't you stop them? The aunt and the baron from the South are both very capable witches, and Shade is alone"

After saying that, she turned back and looked in the direction of Saint Teresa Square under the night outside the gate.

The elegant red-haired princess looked at her sister with strange eyes:

"Although I really want to praise you for caring about Shade's health, it seems that I am indeed a little too strict with you."

Ajelina blinked, not knowing what this meant, so she said in the most conservative manner:

"Sister, you are very good to me, not strict at all. Strict management is good for me, I can"

"Okay, go to my room tonight and sleep, I will tell you a bedtime story. Looking at your question just now, it seems that it is time to let you know something.

It seems that our tradition in Draerion is that the mother or eldest sister will explain this kind of thing to the girls before they get married, but this time I can only do it to prevent you from asking such embarrassing questions next time."

After that, she took Ajelina's hand, and the little princess followed her obediently. She understood what Leicia meant:

"Sister, I have read that kind of knowledge in books, and I also read it in the cupboard when I was in Green Lake."

She tried to weaken the pronunciation of the word "book" to prevent people from finding out that she had actually hidden part of it secretly.

And Leicia shook her head:

"It's not basic knowledge, it's advanced knowledge related to our knight. This is considered an intensive course."

"That's it."

She didn't know what she would hear tonight, nor did she know that Lesia's story would become the most common scene in her dreams for quite some time.

[Golden Dawn Opera Troupe]'s visit to Tobesk City can be regarded as a major event in the city in the second half of this year. Ordinary people don't feel this deeply, but nobles all want to know the specific performance schedule of the opera troupe and buy tickets, as if just listening to an opera can show their artistic taste.

Therefore, Vanessa is actually very busy. Although the first two days after arriving in Tobesk seemed very relaxing, that was just because the opera troupe had not yet settled in.

Once the preparation period is over, the long performance schedule and organization and coordination work will keep her and Hillis busy for a while. Because of this, early on Friday morning, she even left the house earlier than Carina.

But at least the two witches accompanied Shade to have breakfast at home, and the three of them walked out of the bedroom together. Facing Carina's maids, Vanessa was a little embarrassed at first, but then found that the duchess was calm about it.

"Carina, how many things have you and Megan done without telling Shad and me?"

Carina, who was slightly complacent, thought for a while:

"That's countless. Will you remember the number of times you and Shade shook hands?"

The blonde witch was a little dissatisfied with this, but said nothing. But judging from the look on her face, she will definitely appear at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square this autumn.

After breakfast, Shade was ready to set off again. He did not forget to bring breakfast to the elf girl, nor did he forget to send a message from Tovanessa to her apprentice Margaret, asking Her Royal Highness the Princess to investigate in Willendale. Which school participated in the renovation of the temple on the top of the hill in Ximu Town more than ten years ago.

This is definitely not something that can be done in one day, so the investigation of the old temple can be slowed down for a few days, but you can take a walk around it when you go to the concert on Sunday.

After chatting with the elves for a while in the forest, Shade went directly to the city. When they arrived at the Accordion Hotel, the chubby round-faced owl was having a heated conversation with Miss Danister. When they saw Shad knocking on the door and coming in, they waved to Shad together:

"Come on, the investigation has yielded major results!"

"What major harvest? I also have a harvest here, let's try the curse-breaking stone."

The appearance of the sage-level relic [Saint's Curse-Removing Stone] made both ladies startled. However, Miss Daniste knew that this relic was at Zarath Academy of Literature, and she was wondering where Shade found it from. Then she saw Shade handing the relic to her.

"Unfortunately, the time curse does not seem to be regarded as a general curse. It has an effect, but the effect is not great. Since the side effects of this relic are too obvious, I do not recommend that Flora and I wear it."

The eighteen-year-old girl put the ruby ​​earrings on her ears. After trying it a few times, she shook her head, but there was no regret at all on her face:

"Thank you, Shade. We clearly asked you to rest yesterday, but you were still busy for us."

Shade had no choice but to put the relic away:

"It doesn't matter. We can continue to try other curse-breaking relics later. What major gains did you just make?"

So the witch who transformed into a human asked excitedly:

"Remember? We used the relics at the banquet to discover that Mrs. Bennet and Baroness Cumming are actually sisters?"

She didn't let Shade guess the reason:

"The investigation on this has produced results. As you guessed, the relationship between the two sisters is not the result of traveling through time. They are sisters born normally."

The red-haired girl on the side handed the document to Shade:

"This is also thanks to the information of 'Grey Gloves'. Although Baron Cumming is not engaged in import and export trade, he is also involved in the external timber business of Ximu Town in addition to the construction industry, so he is also under Gray Gloves' surveillance. Gray Gloves naturally conducted a special investigation into the identity of his wife.

People now know that Baroness Cumming is the only daughter of a local timber merchant who has passed away. However, Gray Gloves investigated and found out that the businessman had suffered an injury to his lower body when he was young and was not fertile at all. The file contains a list of his medical records. "

Shade looked at the documents suspiciously:

"So where did Baroness Cumming come from? Was she adopted? Wait a minute and I saw it. It says that she was picked up from the woods outside the town by a timber merchant couple? Is there such a thing?"
