Iluna carefully controlled the "little sun" in her hand to extinguish it:
"In just one week, I can't do better. At present, I can only temporarily summon such a small ball of light."
"This is already amazing."
Shade praised, Iluna smiled, and Miss Carina asked:
"What kind of high-level thaumaturgy are you interested in?"
"The original idea was [Eternal Blazing Sun], but then I found that even if I learned how to throw the sun, my spirit was far from enough. So, I took my fancy to [Power of the Sun], but it's still very poor now.
Far."
"Not bad, you can try to expand the size of that ball of light."
Although Miss Carina just nodded, Shade could see that she was still very satisfied with Iluna's performance. Although it was Shade who introduced Iluna to study at the witch on the surface, Iluna was not even willing to send Carina to her.
Miss Na calls her teacher, but both of them value this relationship equally.
This afternoon, Miss Carina focused on talking to Shad about the Randall Valley, and Shad also explained his current progress to her. The focus was naturally on the "Guardian of the Randall Valley", which has been
The three people who knew it were all deceased souls, and before that, even the Witch Council didn't know that there was such an "organization" in the Randall Valley.
"Although judging from the current situation, they are on the same side as us, we cannot completely trust them. There must be corresponding reasons for their outstanding abilities and strange inheritance methods. Before you fully understand them, Xia
Virtue, don’t give too much trust.”
Witches are always very cautious.
The witch who came back on Friday will naturally attend Agelina's birthday party on Sunday. Miss Carina even wanted to give Iluna an invitation, but Iluna refused.
They spent the whole afternoon together in the warm and comfortable manor study. During this period, although there were guests who came to visit, they were all rejected by Miss Carina. By the time of dinner that day, Iluna had to go to the church for a meeting, so she had to go to the church in advance.
After leaving, Shade had dinner with Miss Carina alone.
During the dinner, the witch complained to Shade:
"I heard from the maid who stayed at the manor that you rarely came here during my absence. Why, do you feel that my place is not as comfortable as your home?"
"I've been really busy lately."
Shade explained, and took out the manor key that Miss Carina left for him and wanted to return it, but the witch refused:
"Do you have anything else to do tomorrow? If nothing happens, just stay at the manor tonight and don't leave."
"Tomorrow morning I plan to go to Randall Valley to deliver some things, which can be taken care of in an hour or two. I'm going to have our group study meeting at one o'clock in the afternoon, Mia. Are you willing to stay?"
The cat who was busy eating didn't intend to respond to him, so Shade agreed to stay the night. Miss Carina took the handkerchief from Tifa and wiped the corner of her mouth, then looked at the fish soup that she was looking at.
Shade, with his right arm on the table, held up his slightly tilted head, with a smile and imperceptible shyness in his golden eyes:
"Would you like to spend the night in my room tonight?"
"Ahem, what?"
He hurriedly patted his chest:...
"I'm sorry, I was a bit rude. Is this invitation the kind I thought it would be?"
He looked up and confirmed. The witch still had that lazy and at ease expression:
"It's up to you to decide. Although I still have some concerns, and no other witch has ever done such a thing. But judging from the current situation, if I don't take action in time, sooner or later I will find out that I have become
The last one. So, tonight is all up to you."
But Shade shook his head:
"Since you still have concerns, I don't think there's any need to worry. I'll wait until you figure it out completely. Miss Carina, this is what I expect. Besides, I promised Lesia that if I'm with you, I'll at least let her know.
.”
"The former is
The main reason, or is the latter the main reason?”
The witch asked with a smile, and Shade thought for a moment:
"Both are the reasons. The former is because I am unwilling to go against your wishes, and the latter is because I have made a promise before."
"You see, he can always give such answers that satisfy everyone."
Miss Carina said to Tifa who was standing aside. The black-haired maid just listened quietly, as if there was nothing between her and Shade.
"Little Lecia still has some tricks up her sleeve, but what you said is right.
The witch said with a slight regret, and then waved to Shade:
"Bring the chair over to me. Why are you sitting so far away?"
After saying that, she picked up the empty wine glass, wiped the red wine bottle in the ice bucket, and poured the crystal clear blood-red wine into it.
The red-haired duchess tapped the cup with her index finger and looked at Shade with a reserved smile.
The opportunity to be alone with Tifa happened just before going to bed that night. At that time, Miss Carina was in the study dealing with some documents that had just been sent from Yodel Palace, while Shade took a bath in the manor's bath.
I returned to my own room on the third floor.
Of course, little Mia would not go near a wet place like the bathtub, so she returned to the bedroom very early and waited for Shade. She jumped up and down on the neatly made bed. Shade picked her up and wanted to talk to Jia De.
Miss Lina said good night before going to bed, but before he could leave the room, Tifa came over with two maids.
The two maids brought Shade clothes for tomorrow morning, put them in the closet and left. They did not forget to close the door with a smile before walking out.
Tifa stayed in the room. After the door was closed, he stepped forward and hugged Shade gently, but soon let go:
"I've been busy all day, and I haven't had a chance to talk to you yet."
The black-haired maid lifted her hair from her ear and looked at Shade seriously:
"You actually did the right thing when you rejected the lady at the dinner table just now. The lady was not prepared. She just heard that your relationship with Miss Benenice has become very good, and she felt a little dangerous. I know her very well,
When she is ready, I will give you a hint."
She adjusted the collar of Shade's pajamas, and Shade held her hand. Tifa raised her head and looked at him with bottom-up eyes:
"What, do you need me to unbutton my shirt?"
The brown and black eyes blinked:...
"There is indeed some time, if you want."
She put her hand on the button under her neck.
Shade must admit that he was tempted for a moment, but he had other things:
"Actually, I have something I want to ask you."
As he spoke, he pulled out a book from the starry sky-colored bookshelf. When he opened it, he found a color picture of the weird maid of Hazel Oxenfurt in Oxenfurt Manor. The maid was wearing
The maid dress is very old and yellow in color:
"Look, in what era was this style of maid skirt popular?"
He handed the book to Tifa, and while the maid looked at him with an angry expression, he added:
"After confirming this matter, can I ask you to stay here and help me make the bed?" Tifa nodded slightly, glanced at the book and gave the answer:
"This kind of maid dress was popular in the early part of this era. I have only seen it in history books. It is not very appropriate to say that it was the early part of the sixth era. It was probably from 400 to 800 years in the Universal Calendar. This style was popular during this period.
Maid skirt. However, because the purpose and use environment of maid skirts rarely change, the style is very similar to the current style, but there are still some differences in details."
She pointed out the difference between the two for Shade professionally, and then added:
"No decent family will let their maids wear such outdated skirts. Even if they are nostalgic for the past era, it is impossible for their maids to wear such skirts when entertaining guests. According to you
According to the description, the Oxenfurt family either didn't understand anything and bought old clothes from a thrift store for the maid to change into, or there were other special reasons."
"Around 400 to 800 years of the Sixth Age?"
Shade frowned slightly. The badge he won in the horse riding competition when he visited Oxenfurt Manor was identified by Old John as an item from the lost "Kingdom of Stonewell", and that kingdom was almost destroyed in this era.
Destroyed by unknown evil.
"It seems that I really need to consult Dr. Schneider tomorrow."
But today is still rest time, and I can think about these worries again later:
"Tifa, you are really helpful!"
The maid shook her head slightly, her brown to dark eyes looking into Shade's eyes from a very close distance: "Then, noble knight, how do you reward the loyal and reliable beautiful maid?"
She got closer to Shade, and Mia, who had rich experience in the past, escaped from Shade's arms in advance before the soft squeeze came.
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, and a harmonious atmosphere was reached. Tifa stretched out her hand to wrap around Shade's neck, and Shade also stretched out his hand.
However, this charming atmosphere did not last long, and a coughing sound came from the door:
"Ahem."
The door, which was obviously closed, was opened silently at some point. Miss Carina, who had changed into her nightgown, was standing by the door. The two maids who were supposed to be guarding the door were quite unhappy.
She looked at the two people behind her shyly, but the two people in the room who were too absorbed in it didn't even notice.
"I was just doing some paperwork, and you guys got together. Ha, the cheating maid and the Duchess's knight. I hope I didn't disturb you."
The witch said and walked in. Tifa blushed and let go of Shade's neck. After hurriedly fastening the buttons on the collar, she lowered her head and pursed her lips, standing next to the duchess. But Shade knew clearly.
I saw that she was biting the left side of her lower lip, smiling and winking at herself.
