Shade rarely delayed matters, so in order to continue investigating the words that Croyin left for him from the fifth era, he went to Green Lake early on Friday morning, and at 7:30 in the morning, he
At the entrance of the Carsonlik Embassy in Green Lake City, the Foran brothers were waiting.
He revealed his identity to the two brothers, and then the three of them entered the "Moss Tavern" not far away. Even among the relatively new buildings in Green Lake City, this tavern was surprisingly old. But it was also a tavern.
With its unique business features, entering here is like going back to more than 200 years ago.
Early in the morning is when there are the fewest customers in the pub, and even the bartender behind the counter looks drowsy. The servants are cleaning up the garbage left by the last batch of guests who left before dawn and drank all night.
The cook and the helpers were having breakfast in the corner.
The three of them declined the "Green Moss Beer" promoted by the yawning bartender. After each ordering a cup of hot tea, they sat down against the wall. Shade didn't waste time to say any more pleasantries and first took their bloodline identification reports.
Out:
"Your great-uncle, Alphonse Edwards, was indeed not an adopted son."
"I think the blood of the family is more important than whether the great-uncle or granduncle is a member of the family."
The two brothers looked at the results on the report in surprise:
"Are we actually half-elves?"
Although the obvious elf blood of the two brothers is not as high as Megan and Audrey, it barely exceeds 10%. They are indeed half-elves. However, the elf blood of Edwards does not seem to show much in appearance.
, at least from their appearance, they don’t have features like pointed ears at all:
"It should be considered. Keep this report to yourself. It may be useful in exploring your talents in the future. I came to you this time because of another matter."
"Please tell me."
After Shade introduced them to Megan, the two brothers' attitude towards Shade was obviously more than just respect and fear, so their communication became smoother:
"I know you are members of the [Rosicrucian Order]. Oh, don't be so surprised. This is not difficult to investigate. I think you have not been discovered by the church to be descendants of the Edwards family. The [Rosicrucian Order] should be the same."
It’s like this. I want to talk to the [Rosicrucian Order] about something related to a certain old god.”
"Excuse me, what's going on?"
asked his brother Eric, who wore a monocle in his right eye.
"I accidentally learned a prayer statement related to the cult of the old god [God of Love]. I hope to find a believer of this old god to explain it... Aren't you her believers?"
Although the brothers were very devout when they saw him last time at the [War and Peace Church], Shade still asked. Eric and Charles both shook their heads:
"We are not, we believe in [Peaceful Father]. Sir, your investigation is really detailed. Now very few people know the connection between the old god's order and us. Although we are considered [Rosicrucian Order]
A relatively core member, but I don’t know much about it. However, in order to protect and help us two, [Rosicrucian Society] plans to send people to the local area, and those who will come will definitely be highly respected members of the organization...
..."
Shade guessed that this was also related to the Chosen One. Even if [Rosicrucian Order] did not intend to control the Chosen One themselves, they certainly would not care about it at all.
"Sir, I will introduce you to a meeting next week. The time is uncertain. If there is any news, we will contact my aunt to inform you about it."
Eric said, Shade nodded:
"Then I'll trouble you."
"It's not troublesome. However, we actually have something to ask you."
The two brothers said hesitantly. They looked at each other, and Charles, who was wearing a monocle in his left eye, asked hesitantly:
"That's right, what is your relationship with our aunt...?"
They didn't dare to ask Megan directly last time. The elder put more pressure on them than Shade, the "high-level warlock".
"Relationship? Well...it's hard to explain, but you can think that your aunt and I completely trust each other, and there will be a more significant relationship breakthrough next week. A relationship that is closer than a close friend.
"
When he said this, the two brothers understood.
Shade did not stay in Green Lake City for a long time. After all, the banquet at Yodel Palace in the evening still required serious preparations from him. Although the theme of the banquet was to bid farewell to the second group of negotiating delegation led by Miss Carina, in fact, for Shade,
What is more important is the day of the red butterfly.
To participate in such an important banquet, a female companion is needed, and Shade's female companion was directly selected as Dorothy. He has also informed Luvia of this matter in advance, and hopes that she can help take care of little Mia Zi tonight.
The girl with bright eyes agreed and told Shade to have a good time at the banquet.
Shade didn't know if this was really her blessing.
Nothing interesting happened at this Friday's banquet. As the core social figure, Miss Carina was quite busy and did not spend much time with Shad. Except at the beginning of the banquet, she introduced several people to Shad.
Apart from being an important member of the negotiating delegation, Shade never spoke to her again before the dance started at around nine o'clock.
Not only Miss Carina, but also the King and Queen Diana participated in this important banquet. This should be the highest-level banquet in Tobesk City since 1854, and all the participants can directly affect the entire banquet.
The great man of order in the kingdom.
Shade even thought with pleasure that, except for reporters and servants of the royal family, perhaps his status here was the lowest.
Outsiders had very little experience with this kind of banquet. Seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet was formal and serious, he originally thought that Lecia's "date" plan would not go smoothly, because he really couldn't figure out how he could do it without being noticed.
Leave the banquet hall.
In the end, Lecia was the better player. At about 7:30, Dorothy was called away by Lecia, while Shade was watching the exciting Rhodes competition going on at the Rhodes table from behind the crowd. Suddenly
Someone called him from behind, and then the maid told Shade that Queen Diana wanted to see him.
When the maid arrived at the rest area in the southeast corner of the banquet hall, Queen Diana was already surrounded by people. The pregnant Queen could already see her condition, and she was pulling Ajieli, who was sitting on the right.
Holding Na's hand, she smiled and praised her daughter's intelligence and beauty with the duchesses.
Lesia said that her mother, Queen Diana, treated almost all children equally, but she loved Agelina the most. As the original princess in marriage to the royal family, Agelina could not reach the age of seventeen.
Engagement also means the queen is showing favoritism.
"Look who's here? It's our knight."
Seeing that Shade was brought over, Queen Diana smiled and introduced Shade's identity to the ladies whom Shade didn't know. Now everyone in the city knows about Shade and Miss Carina.
, but at least everyone has heard of it. After Shade was forced to greet the women who were wearing all kinds of makeup and perfume, Queen Diana talked about the reason why she came to Shade:
"Agelina has always admired you."
She said cheerfully, patting the back of Agelina's hand who lowered her head shyly:
"It just so happens that you are here to attend the banquet. How about walking with Agelina in the garden and telling your story? Young girls always admire young gentlemen with stories, and I noticed that your daughter
My companion is not here for the time being, and Duke Carina still has some things to do, so I would like to ask Agelina to introduce you to Yodel Palace."
The noble ladies around did not feel there was any problem with this arrangement. After all, the relationship between Shade and Miss Carina was already a fact, and most people here also knew the king's arrangement for Agelina, and they only thought it was Dai.
Queen Anna wants to bring the relationship closer and help her daughter realize her dream.
So, Shade left the banquet hall with Agelina as a matter of course. After arriving in the quiet but beautiful Yodel Palace garden under the moonlight, Dorothy, who was wearing a long red dress, and
As expected, Lesia, who was wearing a golden dress, was already waiting for Shade.
The writer lady and Her Royal Highness the Princess stood side by side, surrounded by a bush full of roses. The alternately planted red and blue roses made them even more charming than usual.
"elder sister."
Agelina pursed her lips and greeted the two people standing together under the moonlight, feeling that their figures were so tall. Dorothy smiled and pushed Lecia, and Lecia took a step forward:
"You did well, Agelina."
Joshard went for a walk in the garden, and it turned out to be Lesia's idea.
"I wish I could help you."
Agelina said softly, holding her hands together behind her back. She glanced at Shade and wanted to say goodbye, but Lesia stopped her:
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
She took out a very small golden pocket watch from the waistband of her skirt and took a look:
"It's seven forty now. I'm going to see Shade in my bedroom at eight twenty."
She put the pocket watch into Agelina's hand, and then winked at Shade:
"We don't want to miss the dance that starts at nine forty. If Aunt Carina doesn't see you then, she will punish us all."
He smiled and patted Agelina on the shoulder, then kissed the side of Shade's face.
The writer lady also smiled and said:
"Shadow, I have prepared some interesting activities, but don't forget the time while walking."
Then the two held hands and walked towards the other side of the garden. The maids were waiting for them, and the two of them would wait for the knight to arrive in Lesia's bedroom.
