"I didn't mean to disturb your "tryst", but there was something I forgot to tell you just now."
Miss Carina said, looking around the room casually, and then noticed the cat on the bed looking at her:
"Sylvia asked me to inform you that your investment was successful. Her experiment has made key progress, and the yield rate of the samples produced through the steam factory is also very high. You will be able to get it probably this fall or winter.
The first dividend."
"invest?"
Shade thought for a moment and remembered what Miss Sylvia said before she left. He even gave the young witch 5,000 pounds:
"Successful? In other words, synthetic fiber"
Shade raised his eyebrows. This is quite an achievement. Miss Sylvia became the first person in the world to synthesize artificial fibers. This is an achievement that can be recorded in the history books. "
What about artificial fibers? Aren’t you cooperating to invest in women’s clothing textiles?”
Carina Cavendish said, took two steps back, lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and turned in a circle:
"I specially changed into a nightgown with a higher hem, but you didn't notice any difference between me and before?"
Tifa on the side quietly reached out and pointed. Shade followed her pointing and moved his eyes downwards, seeing the black close-fitting fabric wrapping the feet and calves. In this world, this kind of fabric is quite rare, and he was only in the fifth era.
I have seen it on the big witch. The small feet were wrapped, and the clothes were close-fitting and outlined the perfect curves of the legs. The translucent black fabric extended up into the skirt, leaving just the right amount of reverie. He blinked.
Eyes, he said with great satisfaction:
"It's amazing that Miss Sylvia succeeded so quickly! I dare say that this is definitely one of the most important inventions in the human world in this century! The success of synthetic fibers not only means textile
Industry has taken another path, which also means chemistry and "
"I finally understand why Sylvia fell in love with you, Shade, is this all you want to say?" Miss Carina stared at him. This time, Shade understood it without Tifa's reminder.
Got:
"This pair of fabrics suits you very well. It's beautiful, very beautiful. But I think it would be even more beautiful if I didn't have this pair of fabrics that allowed me to see you directly."
His eyes were fixed on the black shoes, looking up from below:
"It's so perfect, just like a work of art. Although the clothes serve as decoration, they don't allow me to see the white color and perfect lines."
Can't help but wonder what kind of nylon Miss Sylvia can produce, Shade suggested: "Can I touch it?"
"Oh, knight, what is this request? How shameless!"
The witch's face turned red, which was rare. Girls in this era couldn't easily see their legs, let alone comment like Shade:
"It's really naughty. It's really"
She turned around and left, but it didn't look like she was angry with Shad, but because she was really shy. Shad still wanted to speak, but Tifa suddenly kissed the side of his face:
"Best dreams, knight."
She said softly, pressing the index finger of her right hand on her lips, and then on Shade's mouth, and then quickly followed Miss Carina...
Shade also followed him to the corridor and stood at the door watching them walk into the master bedroom on the third floor next door. Miss Carina glanced at Shade before entering, then blushed and turned her head away without speaking to him.
After the maids urged Shade to go back to the bedroom to rest and declared that Miss Carina would not come to see him tonight, he returned to his room.
The cat was still watching him on the bed. Just now, the cat thought he was going to fall asleep in the cloakroom again tonight. [What, don’t you regret rejecting the witch at the dinner table? 】
Suddenly he heard "her" voice in his ears. Shade thought for a moment, picked up the cat and climbed into bed. It was indeed time to sleep:
"Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful. But as I said just now, let Miss Carina do it herself
Think about it, and this is indeed the promise between Lesia and I. I am a very honest person, yes, very honest. I promised Luvia that I would go to the end, and I promised Dorothy that I would keep telling her stories.
I promised Lesia about Miss Carina."
Instead of turning off the lights immediately, he lay down on the gorgeous and exaggerated four-poster bed, leaning sideways against the headboard, feeling the smoothness of the quilt and the softness of the mattress, and looked out at the starry sky through the window.
"She" smiled softly in his ear:
[Sixth Era, 1854, late winter, starry moon. Lying in bed and looking at the starry sky, the stars blink at you. Sad stranger, do you know how many people can't sleep tonight because of you? When you take away a heart
, destined to accommodate that heart. And these gentle warmth that can fill your chest will accompany you to sleep for many, many long nights. The thread of bondage connects you and her, which is also your anchor in this world. Starry sky
A new star appeared in the sky. This is a night worth remembering. May you have a small harbor in this world and no longer be alone.】
"This doesn't sound like the tone of your voice. Why do you say this?"
Shade blinked his eyes and looked at the starry sky outside the window. The air in the suburbs was very good. Even in the moon with sparse stars, he could still
Seeing those shining stars, Mia stood on Shade who was lying on his side and looked out the window.
[The reunion after a long separation, the respect and understanding you showed for her, and the right amount of ambiguity. The fruit of the bond has been filled. A current great witch has given you her heart.]
Shade interpreted this as "the favorability level is full."
"Lecia, you didn't say it when Luvia and Dorothy were together, okay, you said it too." He still remembered the sentences "pure blood" and "red butterflies fly with you"
.
"She" smiled softly, and Shade also smiled. After a moment -
[Outlander.] "I'm here."
[The night is very late, go to sleep.] "Well, good night."
He closed his eyes and gradually fell into sleep. Seeing that Shade's breathing was gradually becoming more even, Mia also jumped off his body, lay down in front of Shade's face facing the window, and gave a gentle "meow~"
, balled up into the shape of a cat ball, and closed his amber eyes.
The man and the cat fell into sleep. The gas light in the room was automatically turned off. The starlight from the window shone on Shade's face and the orange cat's back. Everything was peaceful. After a while, the quilt automatically pulled up and covered the room.
Holding Shade's exposed shoulders...
(Little Mia is running.)
After having breakfast at the manor on Saturday morning, Shade went into the city with Miss Carina who was going to Yodel Palace, and then went to Randall Valley City as planned.
Margaret's recent schedule was very full, and Shade couldn't find her that morning, so he gave all the documents from the Stonemason's Guild to Miss Benenice at the Wilde Opera House and entrusted her to bring them to Margaret.
Special. "And this, the power of the earth summons the stone statue."
He did not forget to take out the small statue. Although the witch had already listened to his story about Thursday's experience, she was still surprised at this time:
"This can even be called "Summoning the Golem". Yes, this suits me very well. The rumors of the Stonemason Association moving stone statues have been around for hundreds of years, but you solved it in one night. This is definitely not the case.
What a coincidence, do you have any special investigative skills?"
Shade just brought the special fortune teller Luvia with him.
"Anyway, I leave the power of the earth and the summoned stone statue to you. In this way, we have three ring magicians who can master the power of the earth. How is the investigation between you and Miss Lassus?"
he asked.
"Still retracing her father's path, there hasn't been much discovery yet. However, the locations of the three auction items from the auction house that are suspected to be related to the Heart of the Earth have been basically determined. Come to my place next Monday
Come and get the documents, and then we can launch a new round of investigation into this."
The girls of the Golden Dawn are progressing faster than Shade expected.
"In addition, in order to avoid the emergence of believers of evil gods in the local area, the Five Gods Church in this diocese
Something like that happened in Tobesk last summer, so I decided to take immediate action against them. When I heard the news, the Five Gods Church had already made a plan, and there will probably be a big action this weekend."
The witch treated this matter as a fun fact, after all, neither she nor Shade was involved:
"The cultist who controls [Power of the Earth: Incarnation of Stone], as expected, should be the key target of this operation. I will also be there and try to capture him as much as possible. Now about the Randall Valley upcoming
The news of the emergence of the fifth chosen one has been confirmed by the three major colleges and the Five Gods Church. The church wants to use this operation to frighten the ring warlocks from all over the country who are attracted by the news of the chosen one, hoping that they can succeed.
.”
He said and looked at Shade:
"So this weekend, I hope you will give up all actions in the Randall Valley and wait until the church's big operation is over."
This is also for Shade's safety. Shade knows that she cares about him:
"No problem, I didn't plan to do anything locally on the weekend. I'll go home in a while. I have an important meeting in Tobesk in the afternoon. Tomorrow I will attend the tenth meeting of Princess Agelina Cavendish.
The seventh birthday party will be very lively."
Miss Benanis held the small statue covered with golden runes and frowned slightly:
"Agelina Cavendish? I have only heard Carina and Sylvia talk about Lecia Cavendish and you."
Agelina is a princess who has not participated in politics and rarely appears in newspapers in the South. Therefore, Miss Benanis is not even sure she has heard of this name. After all, there are too many princesses in the Cavendish royal family. Already.
"She is Lesia's sister. Although she is just an ordinary person, her inspiration is very high. I even believe that she has the gift of a prophet. Lesia intends to help her gain freedom, and Agelina also longs for her sister's recognition and recognition. Help."
Shade briefly explained the situation, and the corners of Miss Bernice's lipsticked lips slightly raised:
"So, the young royal princess who longs for freedom seeks help from a young, handsome and strong knight who is upright, kind and compassionate? So, she has a good relationship with you? Oh, I can guess it just by looking at your expression. Come out. So, can you satisfy my curiosity as an 'old woman'? What does the statue you plan to give to the little princess look like?"
