Whispering Verse

At the end of the sentence, Dorothy blushed and refused to look at Shade. Shade guessed that if it was Lesia who said this, the princess would never be so shy. The personality differences between Dorothy and Lesia are actually very different. obvious.

"I'm not sleeping on the sofa. I've moved into the master bedroom over there, which is Detective Sparrow's old bedroom. I'm packing my things recently. From now on, I'll use it as a guest room if I sleep on my side."

Shade said, and then took Dorothy to the new bedroom where she now lives, and reached out to turn the gas lamp knob on the wall:

"Look, the rooms here are bigger and have separate dressing rooms. As the owner of the house, I have no reason to live in the side bedroom all the time."

"Shade, you finally figured it out."

Dorothy smiled and said:

"I told Lesia in the diary before that it's really strange that you don't live in the master bedroom when it's empty. I just hope that after you move into the master bedroom, the curse here won't affect you."

"I don't believe in house curses. Don't let me leave my house for anything!"

"Meow~"

The cat also echoed that little Mia also likes this home very much. As for Shade moving to a new bedroom, it has no impact on the cat. As long as it is at home and next to Shade, it can sleep anywhere.

"Just be careful. The location and living environment here are indeed very good. Besides, Lesia and I met Luvia here yesterday morning."

She said softly, Shade knew that this topic would come up sooner or later, he just hoped that he could get the so-called "Water of Wisdom" at this moment:

"Yes, Luvia told me. Before the end of the 24 hours, did you and Lesia have a good time in the city?"

Dorothy then smiled:

"It's very good. We went to many places and bought winter clothes together, but Lesia put all those clothes in my apartment, and her winter clothes were taken care of by the royal tailor of Yodel Palace. Oh, Shade , don’t you have anything more to tell me about Luvia?”

Shade knew that he had not succeeded in changing the topic:

"Well I know it's my fault, I wanted a little too much."

Dorothy tucked her golden hair behind her ears:

"Of course I know you are at fault, greedy knight. I want to ask, is Luvia angry with us? Yesterday morning, I didn't even dare to look at her expression. Lesia was also a little worried."

"Luvia seems...a little angry?"

Shade couldn't tell. Seeing his appearance, the blonde girl was very dissatisfied:

"You don't care about this kind of thing, so what are you talking about when you and Luvia are together? Even if we can both tolerate your greed, Shade, you always have to consider our relationship, right? Next time I see Luvia at Dr. Schneider's. Oh, just thinking about that scene, I can't hold my head up."

"this"

"What did you do last night?"

The blonde girl asked with a slightly red face. Shade thought for a while and said with certainty:

"puzzle."

Dorothy was stunned:

"Is this some code word?"

"No, no, it's really a puzzle, but other than that."

Dorothy closed the door:

"Knight, tango for two can only happen once every 22 days. Let's dance solo tonight. I also want to know how you and Luvia are doing."

Pause deliberately, then reread:

"puzzle."

Shade explained awkwardly:

"The puzzle is really just a puzzle, but we have to make sure that you and Lesia must not suddenly..."

Miss Writer covered Shade's mouth, bit her lips in his ear, and then said:

"Shade, I'm not that generous."

(Luvia is doing divination.)

Because he was punished by the tree father and could not use the time key for three weeks, there was no need to rush to open the key obtained from the mountainside of Hazama. Shade officially entered the state of repair. That is to say, I read at home every day and wait for the client, and occasionally go to Luvia or Dorothy.

Of course, Shade did a few things before Father August came back on Sunday afternoon.

For example, on Wednesday, I went to Lebert Bookstore, which cooperates with "Steambird Daily", to participate in Dorothy's new book launch event. The event was not big, and Dorothy was glad that Shad could come.

Went to Fort Midhill with the "Hamilton Detective Stories" on Wednesday afternoon, presented the two books to Grace and Helen, and attended Miss Aurora's farewell dinner that evening.

In the name of the Baroness of Kasenlik, many nobles and wealthy businessmen from Fort Midhill City were invited to the banquet. When the banquet was at its most lively, Miss Aurora even had a few drinks with Shade on the large terrace on the top floor of the manor, watching the starry sky.

She was in a very high mood tonight and was probably a little drunk. With a red face and a shaky face, she made Shade promise that he would visit her in Kasenlik when he had time. She also boldly asked Shade about him and Jialin. Where has Miss Na's relationship developed now?

"Oh, ma'am, we have a normal relationship. But we have kissed before."

So under the moonlight on the terrace, the witch with long brown wavy hair put down her wine glass, held Shade's face and kissed him affectionately, then hesitantly separated, and looked at the wine glass in Shade's hand with some disgust:

"Huh? So what you drank was not red wine, but grape juice?"

Shade only learned from Miss Carina on Thursday that there was no possibility of a twelfth-level witch like Sivi Avora getting drunk.

"That woman."

The red-haired duchess snorted, looking quite unhappy.

Shade came to see Miss Carina today for a rare metal called "Sin Mark Metal". After completing the last time key, in addition to the knowledge of vampires, he also gained knowledge about mortal sins, so he knew how to associate the [Sloth] rune with the [Mortal Sin Chain].

Once successful, not only the effect of [Chain of Sin] will be greatly enhanced, but [Sloth], [Gluttony], and [Greed] will also be enhanced together.

[Sin-scarred metal] is an important item for ceremonies. Its tempering process is related to the soul of the sinner. It is a prohibited item stipulated by the Zhengshen Church. It is difficult to buy such controlled substances on the black market, so Shade asked Miss Carina for help.

"Speaking of which, I have something to ask you about Lesia."

The duchess picked up the tea cup. The two of them were now sitting under the grape trellis on the east side of the manor courtyard. Parasols blocked the not too harsh sun in the autumn afternoon. There were afternoon tea and snacks on the white round table, as well as a sleeping cat. .

Young maids in uniforms stood around them. The grape trellis above their heads no longer had the green vines in summer, and the bushes in the courtyard landscape further away had long since become bare.

Winter officially enters Torbesk every year around mid-November, which is also the middle of the "Frost Moon." Today is the 31st day of the Dead Leaf Moon, and winter is getting closer.

At this time, two fat cats ran from a distance, one pure white and one dark blue. This is a pet cat kept in the manor, and it is also responsible for catching mice. After all, in this era, mice are still residents in the city and the countryside.

They probably saw their master here, so they ran over.

But before the two cats could get close, Mia, who was taking a nap on the round table, suddenly raised her head. The small orange cat squinted its eyes and saw the same kind. It stood up at a very surprising speed, its tail swayed, but the three rings strung on its tail did not move.

Mia looked at them condescendingly, her beard trembled slightly, and she made a threatening cry:

"Meow~"

The intimidating voice of its kind was not ignored just because of its small stature. The two fat cats in the manor looked really frightened, and they hesitated to get close, before being taken away by the maids arranged by Tifa.

Miss Carina was also amused by this scene and asked Xiang Shade:

"I met Lesia at Yodel Palace yesterday, and something seemed wrong with her."

"What's wrong?"

Shade asked while patting Mia's little head. Carina Cavendish glanced at him and asked in a low voice:

"Knight, how does the Cavendish princess taste?"

Tifa standing behind her seemed to be suppressing a smile, while the maids around her had slightly red faces.

Shade suddenly blushed:

"how do you"

"Of course I have my own methods, but I really didn't expect that little Lesia, who doesn't even have the dignity of a royal lady, would be so bold and have you, Rejed's Hamilton, you are so bold."

The witch teased, and Shade put down his teacup and sat up straight:

"I will be responsible. Even if she is a princess and her father does not agree, I will."

"That's not what I meant."

The witch interrupted Shade:

"Of course you will be responsible. Even if you don't want to be responsible, I believe Lesiya will find a way to make you responsible. What I mean by boldness is that you actually dare to provoke her. Lesiya's ambition is enough to put herself and Burning everyone around her, of course, I also appreciate this ambition, it will make young girls more attractive."

"Lesia's ambition? Yes, I know, but I think she'll get what she wants."

Shade shook his head:

"And I'm also willing to help him."

The witch chuckled, not knowing what she wanted to express:

"But in short, the young knight and the ambitious princess finally have a further breakthrough in their relationship. In contemporary court novels, this is a remarkable turning point in the story. Even in unseemly palace romance novels, this is a turning point .Oh, Shad Hamilton, you are also a relative of our Cavendish family."

she said suddenly.

"Ahem~"

Xia De, who just picked up the teacup, choked:

"relative?"

Tifa walked up behind Shad and patted Shad's back gently. Mia looked at him worriedly, and Miss Carina covered her mouth with a ladylike smile.

"What kind of relative is this?"

Shade took the handkerchief from Tifa.

"Yeah, what kind of relative is this?"

The witch said softly and looked Shade up and down:

"You must be prepared, my nephew Larus III will see you alone within two weeks."

"Um?"

Shade was stunned, and the hand that touched the cat trembled:

"he"

"It has nothing to do with Lesia's matter."

The witch smiled, and Shade guessed that she said that on purpose.

"In the middle of next month, Margaret Anjou, the second princess of Carsonlik, will visit Tobesk. In view of the political relations between the two countries and the unpleasant things that happened in Tobesk in the summer, MI6 took over We have a very important task, and we must ensure the safety of the Anjou family princess in the country."

"What does this have to do with me? Shouldn't it be Director Anlos's business?"

Shade asked hesitantly, and then thought that he had handed the suitcase containing the difference machine to a princess of the Anjou royal family at the Fort Midhill Railway Station, but he was not sure whether it was the eldest princess or the upcoming visit of Marie. Grete Anjou.

"Of course it has something to do with you, Shade, aren't you the ace agent of MI6?"

"Me? Ace?"

Shade pointed at himself and frowned slightly:

"Who said that?"

"Dak Anlos said it."

Shade's superior valued him very much, especially after he obtained information about Kasenrik during the "Big City Player" period.

"So, the king summoned me for the princess's security work? But it's not my turn to do this kind of thing, right?"

"It's probably another special mission, not just security. Since members of the Anjou family are here, they will definitely come with some secrets and missions. Probably, my nephew is planning something again."

She moved her shoulders slightly, then raised her hand to reject Tifa's offer to squeeze her shoulders:

"These are small things, and I think you should be able to handle them yourself. What I want to tell you is that the thirteenth seat of the Parliament will come to Tobesk with that Margaret of Anjou. So. , after their group arrives, I will not contact you for a while, I want to confirm the attitude of the Thirteenth Chair towards you."

"A new great witch is coming to Tobesk? This is indeed a big deal."

Shade immediately nodded and remembered this matter, and then remembered that the princess he saw at the Middleburg Railway Station also had the power of a witch. At that time, he also asked Granny Cassandra about the witch, but the old witch did not tell Shade the identity of the other party:

"I don't know who the other party is."

"A very young girl. I remember she is only twenty-one years old this year. It has been less than three years since she officially became the Great Witch."

Miss Carina said that she would not take the initiative to reveal any information about the Great Witch to Shade, but since the other party was coming to Tobesk, there was no need to hide it:

"Emma Sylvia, ten rings, is proficient in mathematics, etiquette and modern medicine, but is actually a witch who has mastered the power of space. She now serves as the mathematics teacher and personal doctor of the princesses of the Anjou royal family, so she is accompanying her. She also has a very good relationship with the contemporary Queen Carsonric, and has close ties with the Anjou family. Yesterday she explained in the parliament that she would come to Tobesk, but she would not bring too many followers with her."

Miss Carina briefly introduced it, and then added:

"She has only been a great witch for a short time. Although she is also a tenth-level witch, when she fights Granny Cassandra, who is also a tenth-level witch, she can easily kill her. Not only because she is a very young girl, but also because She looks more like a scholar than a ring wizard. Emma Sylvia usually doesn't speak much in the council, and I don't know her very well."
