"The knight did not mean to neglect the noble countess. It was because the knight was seriously ill."
Shade explained his actions very seriously. The knife in his hand was covered with silver light. With a slight stroke, the veal steak with sauce on the plate was divided into two portions. Shade gave the smaller portion to Mia.
The remaining nine-tenths remain in front of you:
"Actually, a loyal knight also misses the Duke to whom he is loyal. He just doesn't know when he will be lucky enough to visit the Duke's most precious treasure again."
Miss Carina thought for a moment before she understood what "treasure" meant. The blush on her face became more obvious, her red lips pursed, and her embarrassed but charming smile made her look
More gorgeous.
"How was tonight?"
Shade then took the initiative to propose an invitation, and the words of agreement were almost blurted out by the red-haired witch. She warned herself in her heart to be more reserved, but more than a week of "cold treatment" prevented her from rejecting it neatly:
"Your illness is not cured yet."
She pointed this out softly, but her tone of voice seemed to be making excuses. She looked into Shade's eyes as if she was speaking out her thoughts directly.
Tifa winked at Shade behind Miss Carina, signaling Shade not to give up.
"Duke, are you doubting my health and body?"
Shade asked, and Miss Carina looked at him with her lips pursed. The maids serving around her didn't know what happened under the table during the brief pause:
"My grand-niece praised you. When the female fortune teller and I talked privately, she also said that the basic skills of knights are very solid. Since you think your illness has been cured, tonight..."
The golden eyes seemed to be able to convey the emotions of the soul, and Shade really understood the emotion in the eyes.
"Knight, is your wife really as comfortable as they say?"
(Little Mia is running...)
On Sunday morning, Shade sat alone at the dining table at home and read the "Tobesk Morning News", while the maids were busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast. The ingredients were delivered directly from Carina Manor this morning, and Tifa personally
Cooking, I want to give Chateau a hand before the maids leave No. 6, Saint Teresa Square together.
After waking up this morning, they knew that Shade probably wouldn't let them stay here anymore. Judging from the noise coming from the master bedroom on the second floor last night, Shade's body had indeed fully recovered.
[Outlander, you have completely swallowed up the ‘twisted filth of the roots of the earth’. 】
[Your body is comprehensively enhanced (including the resistance of internal organs and organ function level), and the recovery speed and total amount of spirit are enhanced. You can now choose to be immune to any form of 'petrification'. The ones you cast are related to curses, shadows, and diseases.
, the effect of earth-related thaumaturgy spells has been greatly enhanced.】
"She" whispered a reminder in his ear, symbolizing the complete end of Shade's "serious illness".
He listened to these contents and looked at the news about the next industrial expo in the newspaper in his hand:
"I thought there would be at least a brand new spiritual rune, or a new thaumaturgy. Even if I swallowed something of such a high level, wouldn't it allow me to obtain the 'Earth' spiritual rune?" Lan
Although he knew that such an idea was greedy, Shade was still a little disappointed.
"She" chuckled in Shade's ear:
"No, actually I understand what kind of abilities this power gives me."
Shade looked sideways in the direction of the bedroom. After getting up this morning, he felt that his body had completely recovered. But the specific time of complete recovery seemed to be midnight last night:
"Isn't it a coincidence? Before I got sick, I had an intimate relationship with the witch...and when I recovered from my illness, I also had an intimate relationship with the witch."
He was thinking...
[At least for now, the witch's power cannot interfere with you in any way. 】
The sound of bells suddenly rang from downstairs. Before Shade got up, the maid had already gone downstairs. Shade closed his eyes, and the passive effect of the thaumaturgy [Heart of Stone] appeared. In his "dark vision", the streets
The source of the countless "heart beatings" echoing on the stairs is very vague, but the heartbeats moving on the stairs and the heartbeats at the door are extremely clear.
"There are four people at the door."
Shade said, after closing the newspaper, he heard the sound of footsteps entering the building. Since the maid let them in without asking Shade whether to let strangers in, then the visitors must be acquaintances.
Sure enough, Lesia gave Shade a warm hug as soon as she appeared:
"I feel relieved to see you in such good spirits. Shade, I wish you good health."
"Lecia, why are you here so early?" Lan
"Of course I came to see you. Although I heard from Dorothy yesterday that you are almost well, I didn't expect that your condition is really so good."
"This disease comes and goes quickly."
Shade said with a smile, and then said hello to Agelina behind Lesia:
"Good morning, Your Highness Agelina."
"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton."
The little princess lifted the hem of her skirt and said hello in a ladylike manner.
After Lesia let go of Shade, she looked in the direction of the kitchen again, and then asked with some dissatisfaction: Lan
"Where is Carina? Wasn't she here to take care of you yesterday? Why is there only her maid? So early, where has she been?"
"Still resting."
Shade pointed in the direction of the bedroom, and Lecia understood immediately. She patted Shade's arm lightly and said in a reproachful tone:
"Really, doesn't she know that your illness is just right? What does this mean, using yourself to check whether you have fully recovered?"
The little princess behind Lesia was stunned for a moment before she understood. She tried hard to hide her surprised expression. No one had ever said before that Shade had become a relative of the Cavendish family again:
"Mr. Hamilton, this is..."
"Our great-aunt did something very bold." Lan
Lesia said casually, and the seventeen-year-old princess nodded slightly and looked at Shade quietly.
Of course she felt quite uncomfortable inside, but compared to her sister, she was more afraid and awe of Miss Carina, whom she didn't see often. Although she had mixed feelings in her heart at this time, even if she used the cake taught by the royal family's math teacher
Even if she analyzed the pictures, she couldn't explain all her feelings. But she knew that what she was most worried about was the knight's feelings:
"There is such a big age gap between Mr. Hamilton and my aunt... He may feel awkward or even disgusted. Is it true, aunt, that the Duchess is amazing... He is so young and so strong
, but was forced to..."
The heartache, distortion and indescribable joy that almost tore apart the soul are now clearer and more obvious than in the past.
Shade glanced at Agelina in surprise, who closed her eyes and took a deep breath. He felt that for a moment, the little princess actually felt like a ring warlock in his perception. But it was only for a moment, which showed that she was far away from truly awakening.
Talent is just the last step left.
Today it was originally Lecia or Dorothy's turn to take care of the sick Shad, but now that Shad's illness has recovered, there is no need to send someone to take care of his life.
Therefore, Shade had breakfast with the three ladies of the Cavendish family, and they left together. The witch did not feel embarrassed to see the younger girls of her family at the dinner table, and Lesia did not express any objection to it.
I'm not happy.
While Shade informed them and paid attention to Agelina's talent awakening, Lesia also repeatedly reminded Shade about the spring riding competition around the city, asking him to remember to sign up and win. It seemed that he was preparing
Plan some activities at the post-game banquet.
Being bedridden for nearly two weeks really delayed Shade's many things.
But fortunately, he didn't need to clean up the house. Except for the "spring cat cleaning" that was not planned for the time being, there were no other household chores for Shade to worry about. Therefore, after confirming that Mia didn't want to go out, Shade went alone through the basement.
Went to Fort Midhill, and then from the local Snake Heart Hospital to the sacrificial site located on the top of the mountains.
Shade did not make an appointment in advance for this visit, but Sister Devlin seemed to know that he would come today. She actually stood at the end of the stone steps of the sacrificial site hidden by the gray stone ruins, waiting for Shade.
"Good morning, nun!"
He smiled and waved hello, and the blind nun folded her hands in front of her and nodded slightly in response. The snow on the top of the mountain had not yet melted, and the nun standing in the snow seemed more peaceful than usual.
The sun shone on her crown-like silver eyepatch, revealing those ancient and mysterious patterns, and making her fair cheek skin look even bloodless than before. Shade was very happy to discover that Sister Devlin's eyepatch
The cracks on the top have disappeared, and the gaps on the sides have been filled.
"There is still part of the mithril left."
As if she "saw" Shade's blindfold staring at her, the gray-haired nun said softly. Then, she moved away from the door of the sacrificial hall and welcomed Shade in.
After repairing Sister Devlin's eyepatch, the remaining mithril was recast into mithril cubes by the craftsmen of the [Spiritual Order], but the size was only the size of a dice. Of course, the remaining mithril has been
A lot, because this is solid metal, and the original metal cube has a hollow center.
In order to make it easier for Shade to carry it, the six sides of the small mithril cube were actually dotted with dice points. At this time, the cube still retained the ability to "reveal the story of Randall Valley", but the sensitivity was higher than before.
It's a bit worse.
But fortunately, the story of Randall Valley is also over.
And Shade came to visit the nun today not to see how much mithril he had left. He came this time to ask the nun for help about the "Moon Dream" learning method.
