Whispering Verse

"About promotion, I'll explain it to you when I get home later, but it's a long story."

"It's okay, I like long stories, maybe we can have dinner together."

Her Royal Highness the Princess said, reaching out to greet the cat lying on Shade's lap, trying to pick it up. But as soon as she reached out, little Mia raised her paw and patted her hand away.

The cat pressed its chin against Shade's leg, making its face look flat because of this action. She made a "meow~" sound from her mouth, and looked at Dorothy with her beautiful amber eyes, as if she was curious about who she was.

After returning home after a day's absence, Shade roughly told Lesia his experience yesterday. Luvia asked him to keep the secret about the chosen ones and their relationship, and Miss Carina also asked him not to reveal anything related to the witch, so Shade omitted some key fragments.

But even so, the excitement of this story still exceeded Lesia's imagination.

Especially when Shade mentioned that little Mia was mistakenly put in a box and taken to the dark realm by him, and a key relic was stolen during the battle, Lesia confirmed again and again:

"Is this really something that ordinary cats can do? Although you said that little Mia is very smart, is this too smart?"

"I suspect that little Mia has the blood of magical creatures that we don't know about."

Shade sat on the sofa and scratched Mia's chin:

"But I asked my friend to check it, and there was nothing special about it except that it was smart. So this time, I think it was my luck that allowed it to save me."

"This is a really nice pet. I think you should buy it from its owner."

"Oh, I get a headache when I mention this. Miss Mia Gold sent a letter every month, very concerned about little Mia's condition. It probably won't be that simple to get her to give this cat to me. I plan to take a long trip tomorrow spring, go to the town where Miss Gauthe’s family lives, and make the request in front of her.”

"What if the other party doesn't agree?"

Lesia asked with a smile.

"That"

"Are you going to use special means? To get this cat?"

Shade thought for a moment:

"I will prepare a large amount of money before next spring. Although gold pounds are not omnipotent, I think a sufficient amount of gold pounds is close to omnipotent."

Lesia smiled.

The two chatted a lot that afternoon, and Lecia also learned that Miss Feliana's appearance was really related to Shade. She was very envious of Shade, who was able to transcend two eras and win the favor of the founder of the academy, but unfortunately she still could not "completely trust" Shade and could not turn into a toy and enter the past story with him.

In the evening, Shade and the girl next to him went to a restaurant to have dinner, and then, as usual, they took a walk under the sunset while walking the cat, and walked back to St. Teresa Square.

The exchange between Lecia and Dorothy will last until eight o'clock tonight, so she plans to go home earlier and write down the exchange between Shade and her, so as to prevent Shade from spending another night and spend the afternoon Say it again.

After dinner, we discussed Shade’s path as a ring magician at home. Lesia gave Shade some targeted suggestions for learning thaumaturgy. At seven o'clock, Shade sent Lesia downstairs, but before going out to find the carriage, Lesia warned Shade again:

"In the future, if it is not necessary, don't do such dangerous things. Shade, sometimes I really don't understand why you take such frequent risks."

"Of course it's for a greater power. Moreover, I didn't experience any life-and-death adventure. This time it went smoothly."

Shade, who was standing in the foyer, said. Lecia raised the corners of her lips. Under the gas lamp in the foyer, the blonde girl holding a handbag looked at Shade with her emerald green eyes:

"Then, just prove it to me and please lend that piece of [Eternal Youth Leaf] to Dorothy again."

"no problem."

Shade smiled and said that he had long thought that Dorothy or Lesia would have such a request, so he was already prepared.

He searched for the pocket watch in his pocket, and from the two leaves sandwiched inside, he kept the one Tifa had held in his mouth, and handed the leaf that originally contained the information about [Dark Dungeon] to Lesia.

The latter took the leaf, took a look at it, and sneered:

"Xia De, this is not the original place."

"What?"

Shade blinked.

"Although the Evergreen Leaves are relics that exist in plural, each leaf is different. Academics believe that the real relic should actually be the tree on which the [Eternal Youth Leaves] grow. The leaves themselves are just derivatives of the relics, just like You mentioned the relationship between the [Dark Realm] and the Hidden Servant of the Devil. Shade, you really should add some basic knowledge to this."

She put her arms around Shade's neck, stood on tiptoes slightly, and looked at him under the gaslight. Although those emerald green eyes were not as magical as Luvia's purple eyes, they were still very attractive to Shade.

He really felt that he could see the soul through his eyes, and what he was seeing at the moment was indeed Lesia.

"Shad, don't lie to me, it makes no sense."

Because the distance was so close, Shade could even feel her breath when she spoke.

"Okay, not anymore. I just don't want you to worry."

"That's really stupid."

She whispered, then kissed Shade.

They both closed their eyes and embraced each other. After they separated, Shade hesitated for a moment and finally said another thing:

"Actually, I don't want to lie to you. I have other girls I like."

After his relationship with Luvia took a further step last night, Shade didn't want to hide the matter and treated Lesia as if he didn't know anything. Although he is a little greedy and wants everything, after all, he doesn't want to be a guy who deceives his feelings. He braced himself for what he said, but it turned out better than he expected.

"Oh, is it Luvia?"

Lesia asked with a smile.

"how do you know?"

"Dorothy has noticed something is wrong with you before. Today, she just had to set her eyes on you. I have known Luvia for so long, and this is the first time I have seen her so irrational. It doesn't matter, you are willing to tell me." That’s fine, it would be strange for a man of your age and appearance to not have a lover.”

She touched Shade's face. The expression on her face was gentle, but also scary:

"But you have to answer me a question, Shade, have you slept with Carina?"

She was so direct that she didn't even use metaphors.

Shade felt that if he answered "yes", he would not end well today, but fortunately he had not done anything like that:

"Of course not. Although there are rumors in the city's tabloids that I am your great-aunt's lover, in fact we are just a cooperative relationship, at least for now."

"That's good."

The blonde girl's fingers traced Shade's cheek, and her emerald green eyes were full of emotions:

"My grandfather, father, uncles, and brothers each had an indescribable number of lovers. I live in this kind of family and am used to this kind of thing. Shade, you know how many lovers I have Rosie's feelings for you, because of my status, I can't make any promises to you now, so I don't mind what happens to you and Luvia. As for Dorothy, I can help you hide it for the time being, but you and Jialin Na”

His eyes suddenly became sharp:

"At your age, I can understand your desire for the flesh. Yes, whether you go to Luvia or let me find you some beautiful maids, I can understand it. After all, these are people I know well. But don't Go to bed with Carina, at least, don't do it without my permission. Shade, you can think of it as"

"I know that your relationship with Miss Carina is very special. I won't do anything until everything is sorted out."

Shade said softly, he knew he took advantage, but he was really greedy.

"very nice."

The hand that was originally caressing Sha De's face slipped to Sha De's chin. She slightly raised Sha De's chin and stood on tiptoes to look at Sha De. So, this time it was Shade who took the initiative to kiss:

"It feels so good to kiss you so freely."

The soul in those emerald green eyes expressed his feelings so clearly.

"If your sister Agelina were here, she would definitely say that this is a line for a male character in a chivalric novel."

Shade said. At this moment, the blonde girl finally showed an expression that belonged to Lesia. This kind of arrogant, proud, charming and even somewhat arrogant expression is something that a real writer would never be able to express:

"Maybe I can convince Dorothy to let me use her body to see you often. Although the status of a princess gives me power, status and money, it only does not give me the freedom to see you."

"We cannot ask fate to give us everything we want."

Shade said that he felt deeply about this sentence recently.

"Only an incompetent person thinks like this. If you want something, you have to go out and get it. Shade, you and Dorothy, and others, I want them all, and I will definitely succeed."

Lesia said, reaching out to touch her lips, kissed her fingers, and then pressed on the corner of Shade's mouth:

"You don't have to send me to the street. I can just find the carriage by myself. Have a good rest, Shade, you have been very busy in the past half month. But if you have time recently, you can consider it. Get the spiritual rune of [Sleep] There are many ways, which one of the four elements do you want. Goodbye, knight who killed the devil, I hope I can taste your lips with my body next time."

She reached behind her back and opened the door. Shade watched the blonde girl carefully walk backwards down the steps and walked under the moon:

"When I meet you, I really do"

"Oh, Shade, don't use lines from such chivalric novels. It's so disgusting. Just understand that you stole the hearts of girls."

She said with a smile, ruffled the long blond hair around her ears, and then turned and left Saint Teresa Square. With her back turned to Sha De, she knew that Sha De must be in a complicated mood at the moment, and a smile appeared on her lips. This was the effect she wanted.

Shade watched "Dorothy" get into the carriage and then closed the door. Facing the door, under the dim light of the gas lamp, he closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

[Outlander, are you repenting of your sins? 】

She always speaks so well.

"No, I was thinking, if luck is really conserved, then when will I be struck by lightning."

Shade is very self-aware.
