Chapter 2828 Cat-washing and illegitimate children in autumn

As for Luvia, she thought about it carefully, took out her divination cards and randomly picked two more, and then threw the card symbolizing "Earth" in front of Shade:

"That 'caretaker' may be the owner of one of the five chairs you saw. If so, is it really the earth, wind, water, and fire?"

"You can even predict this now? Shade said that the owners of those chairs have accepted the power of the remains of the World Tree."

Vanessa was shocked. Shade had this suspicion at the Accordion Hotel in the afternoon:

"I also guessed that the 'Watcher' corresponds to the earth. But I didn't expect it to be not the Paradox Insect King we originally discussed, but just a 'Watcher'? And the other party is not the biggest enemy this time, just an elite enemy."

"What does it mean to be just?"

Her beautiful purple eyes glanced at him:

"I know what you want to say is that it is just a Paradox Worm, and its identity and status do not seem to be comparable to the ancient evil spirits and demons who have weaved a century-old conspiracy. But according to the information provided by the [Forest Hermits Group] you described Let's see, is it possible that the 'watchman' is the same bug from ancient times to the present?

Even if it is not a bug that has survived from the First or Second Epoch, it can be responsible for guarding its own kind, and it must be the most powerful of all bugs, so there is no problem if you call it the 'Paradox King of Bugs'. "

As the fire swayed in the fireplace, she pointed out another point to Shade:

"Didn't the thaumaturgy that Emilia taught you completely suppress the paradox insect? The insect you encountered today directly defeated your thaumaturgy by just hitting it. This should explain the problem."

"Things are really happening one after another. The devil's matter has just been resolved. I just wanted to find some ore for myself, and this happened."

Seeing Shade holding the cat and complaining, they all laughed, and Vanessa said again:

"Xiwei sent a message and asked us to set off on Sunday morning. When everyone arrives at the Vista Grove next week, we can make a plan to lure it out of the ground. Although our attack cannot be effective against that kind of bug, it is not impossible to help. Busy."

After saying that, she thought of another thing:

"Xilis is temporarily staying in Tobesk this time. The opera company has to leave people behind. Sometimes I feel that social work in big cities is more troublesome than performance work. But she will handle the important things as soon as possible, probably more than We arrived at Vista Grove a week late.”

Everyone didn't have anything to do tonight. The three of them chatted in the study for a while, and Shade read for another half an hour, and then they were all ready to rest.

When Vanessa came to the bedroom after washing, she found that only Shade, who was wearing pajamas, was picking out winter clothes in the closet of the bedroom, while little Mia and Luvia were not here.

"Actually, you look handsome no matter what you wear."

She hugged Shade from behind, and Shade hung up the fur-collared jacket he had just taken out. This clothes should have been prepared for him by Lesia. The stranger can’t remember the last time he bought clothes:

"Thank you for the compliment. I was thinking about winter outfits. Speaking of which, Vanessa, do you remember that the first time we met was during the snowing season at the beginning of this year, and it was still winter at that time. In the blink of an eye, it was... It’s going to be a year.”

He turned to look at the blonde lady and kissed her gently on the side of her face. Vanessa's face immediately turned rosy, and then she lightly hit Shade's chest:

"Luvia isn't here yet. Wait a minute. I don't want Luvia to say I'm impatient."

Shade explained:

"Luvia takes little Mia to sleep on her side. She said that her special physical condition is coming, and she doesn't want to cause anything disappointing."

"That's it"

Hearing this, the witch's face became obviously darker. Witches do not have that kind of physiological phenomenon. This is not only a manifestation of "perfection", but also a manifestation of their inability to reproduce the next generation.

Ordinary girls like Luvia, Dorothy, and Lesia would more or less avoid Shade on certain days of the month, but Carina had never considered such a thing before.

Although Vanessa was not like Carina, who was particularly concerned about that kind of thing because of the existence of her grandniece, she was still a little sad when she heard Shade mention it.

However, she soon lost this mood. This afternoon can only be regarded as an appetizer and dessert, and the evening activities can be regarded as the main meal. Shade has always been enthusiastic about every girl, but when only one girl takes over his enthusiasm, even if Vanessa is a genuine thirteenth-level witch, she can't resist it at all.

However, she was very satisfied with this, but she was worried that when Carina's maids came to the house to clean the bedroom later, they would gossip when they saw the sheets thrown in the corner.

And in the middle of the night, when the sleeping blond witch buried her head in Shade's chest and fell asleep, "she" in her ear suddenly said to Shade:

[If you haven’t washed your cat this week, ask me to remind you again at the weekend. It's Saturday now. 】

Shade, who was already half conscious, nodded:

"I know, the doctor is in Vista Grove now. He has nothing to do tomorrow and Saturday except for the night class, so let's wash the cat."

"Meow~"

Next door to Luvia's pillow, little Mia curled up into a cat ball and meowed, probably dreaming of something terrible.

Shade kept his word and said he would wash the cat on Saturday. After breakfast early in the morning and sending Luvia and Vanessa away, he caught the cat, which had been wary of him since this morning, and took it Brought into the bathroom.

"Don't pretend to be afraid of water with me. I know you can swim! You can even snorkel!"

He put hot water into the cat's exclusive "bathtub" and said to the struggling cat, while "she" in his ear asked with a smile:

[Perhaps you should realize that you discovered that it could swim because it saved you. So is it now a case of repaying kindness with hatred? 】

But Xia De didn't care about this. Winter was coming soon. Bathing a cat after winter might cause the cat to catch a cold, so he would definitely wash the cat before the first snow fell.

The cat seemed to be struggling fiercely, but when Shade actually put it in the basin and started pouring hot water from the shower head, it squatted in the basin again with a pitiful look. This cat has gained a lot of experience in the year and a half that he has lived with Shade. For example, if he puts on this expression while taking a bath, he will definitely get a big meal as compensation afterwards.

Because of washing the cat, Shade arrived at the Accordion Hotel a little late that day. It was rare that he bumped into Flora directly in the corridor on the third floor. At this time, the witch was instructing her followers to set up counter-reconnaissance rituals for all open rooms on the entire floor. Seeing Shade coming up, he He said happily:

"Although it's a bit troublesome, Boss Bennet agreed to rent this floor to me for the time being."

"What excuse did you use to convince him? Normally, even if late autumn is the off-season for travel in Vista City, you don't have a reasonable reason to rent an entire floor, right?"

"I said that I want to concentrate on composing performance music for the end of this year, so I need a quiet environment. And I have recently recruited a lot of assistants, and I hope they can live here."

Shade thought there was nothing going on today, so even little Mia was brought by him. But after Flora took him back to Miss Danister's room, Miss Bell told Shade a big news:

"There is news about the royal illegitimate son that Prince William of Anjou is looking for."

"Really found it?"

"It's not that it was found, it's just that there is news. When the church searched Director Kant's office, they found a lot of information that he had collected in his office, including information that was suspected to be related to the illegitimate child.

It was Princess Margaret who brought the news, and Prince William Anjou sent a letter to Willendale, saying that he would be able to determine the identity of the other party within a week. "

Miss Bell said this, and the red-haired girl holding the teacup smiled and added:

"William Anjou first got close to the dead disciple York Bronte, and then came into contact with Director Kant. Although the church didn't say anything about it, the king of Willondale will definitely receive a letter from the church.

This prince probably wanted to make some achievements as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if he was not charged with contact with these dangerous people, he would be punished by the king just because he did not investigate Director Kant's treason. "

Because of the detailed information sent by Margaret, Shade also obtained complete top-secret information about the royal family's illegitimate child.

The intelligence said that the illegitimate child was indeed a male, and he should be around 22 years old. The woman who had a private meeting with the king at the masked ball has passed away as indicated in the preliminary investigation, and her children are still living in Vista City after changing their names.

"If the illegitimate child is a woman, wouldn't it be similar to the fairy tale about the glass slipper? Although he was not attracted by the prince, but after living an ordinary life for more than twenty years, he suddenly became a princess. This is still Very dramatic.”

The artist lady commented leisurely while holding a tea cup.

Because Margaret did not ask Shade to help investigate, Shade had no idea of ​​getting involved in this troublesome matter. He originally thought that this matter would not bother him. He would probably hear the continuation of this matter again some afternoon later, and then sigh that Margaret had another brother.

But in fact, that afternoon, the follow-up to the matter came to him.

It was one o'clock in the afternoon, and people in the hotel had just finished lunch. Shade was teasing the clean little Mia while talking to the red-haired girl on the sofa about his time travel - two days had passed. , Miss Danister’s anger finally completely subsided.
