"Speaking of which, today is Monday. I went out early in the morning and haven't picked up this week's gifts yet."
So before taking Iluna and Luvia to the third floor, Shade went to the basement and picked up the gift box. Because the incident in the Green Lake area was over, he had not recently visited Miss Gothe.
I had other adventure plans, so I didn’t expect to get any great items.
This was indeed the case. He did take out another ordinary item, and it was a very familiar ordinary item. The manuscript paper was written with beautiful cursive Delrayon letters in blue ink, and the title of the content was "Family Past"
》:
"This is the handwritten manuscript of the twenty-fourth story in Hamilton's Detective Stories?"
This story was inspired by the love and hatred of the Edwards family that lasted for two hundred years. Dorothy did not use real character relationships, but conceived another complex set of relationships herself, so that "Detective Hamilton" accidentally received the call one day.
The young daughter of this declining mysterious family is entrusted by the exiled daughter to go to the family’s old house to find the missing photos of her parents, thereby gradually revealing the story of the entire family.
Dorothy used her "vacation" time at the Green Lake Hotel to write a very long story this time. The serialization in "Steambird Daily" could not be completed in two or three issues. Before the Battle of Green Lake, she commissioned
Shade sent the beginning of this story to the editorial office of "Steambird Daily". The editors who read the story were full of praise for it, thinking that it would be another pinnacle of the "Hamilton Detective Stories".
What's more important is that this handwritten story manuscript, signed by Dorothy, was given to Iluna as a gift by the blond writer on Iluna's birthday, which happened last week.
So not only Shade, but Iluna and Luvia also recognized him.
"An exact replica? No, if all the details are the same, then it's not a replica."
It had been almost a year since this relic was in his hands, and this was the first time that Shade took out something he had seen before. The eighteen-year-old girl looked at Shade sheepishly, and Luvia quietly tugged on it.
Shade's sleeve reminded her, so Shade gave her this week's gift:
"Iluna, this belongs to you."
"Very good!"
An unabashed smile immediately appeared on her face.
"But don't you already have one?"
Luvia curiously asked Iluna, who nodded:
"Yes, but this is a collection that needs to be carefully preserved. Now that I have a second copy, I can keep one copy and use the other carefully for viewing."
As for this week's task, it is up to me to tell a short story for anyone, even cats. It does not need to be original, as long as it is a story.
Iluna received the gift again and was naturally very happy. Then Shade took them to the third floor to visit the extra "Room 3". They could all see Shade's excitement about this, but when Yiluna
When Luna asked about the decoration of the room, Shade hesitated again and didn't know what to say.
Although it is true that I have eaten soft rice, there is still a big difference whether I say it personally or not.
Of course, Shade did not forget to mention to Iluna and Luvia the gift given by the church to the "God Caller". The sage-level relic [Star Trace] was taken out by Shade to play with. He liked this relic very much.
Appearance, I prefer the feature of being easy to carry.
The three of them spent this Monday afternoon at No. 6 St. Teresa Square. As evening approached, dinner, cakes and bouquets were delivered. Only then did Iluna realize that Shade and Luvia were really going to do it for her.
After attending a birthday party, I sheepishly thanked you and then immersed myself in the atmosphere of this rare "holiday".
The sumptuous dinner, the candles again lit on the cake, the beautiful bouquets, and the ruby-colored wine constituted Shade's most profound impression of this night.
Luvia was in a high mood and drank a lot of wine, which was rare. When the three of them raised their glasses and clinked them above the candles, Iluna's eyes seemed a little red. Although the sentimental girl was already eighteen years old, she was still the same as in the past.
Simple and innocent is a compliment.
But no matter how unforgettable the night is, it will always end. The two people who have just returned to Tobesk have their own things to do, and they will rejoin the life of the big city tomorrow. So at 8:30 in the evening, they
They all said goodbye and left.
Luvia ordered Shade to send Iluna back, and she took the carriage back to her apartment alone.
But in fact, when Shade returned home after seeing off Iluna, the purple-eyed soothsayer lady not only did not leave, but had already put on a pink and purple nightgown, and stood at the second floor living room window with a wine glass, looking at
Night view of Saint Teresa Square.
"So, you just lied to Iluna?"
Shade asked with a smile. He bent down and put the cat on his shoulder on the floor, letting it run around the house on its own. Then he took off his coat, opened his arms and hugged the girl who was coming with the wine glass.
"I celebrated her birthday today, but after the birthday party, she left me but stayed. What do you want me to say?"
She leaned her head on Shade's arms and listened to the powerful and familiar heartbeat:
"Do you want me to say: Oh, my dear Iluna, it's the adults' time next, so please leave quickly and don't disturb us!"
She shook her head slightly, which made Shade feel like she was imitating little Mia's movements of rubbing in his arms.
Putting the wine glass into Shade's hand, Luvia then raised her arms and hugged Shade's neck. The strong taste of "blood-made red wine" on her lips during the kiss made this kiss more charming than any other.
After the kiss, she still held Shade's neck, her purple eyes filled with the kind of passion that almost ignited Shade's soul:
"Knight, are the twin witches interesting? Or is the pair of butterflies more interesting?"
Shade did not need to answer this question. She bit her lip and made a request to the knight tonight:
"I want you to treat me more enthusiastically than when you play with them. My knight~"
Luvia chose to spend her first night back in Tobesk at No. 6 St. Teresa Square, which Shade had expected. But the enthusiasm she showed still surprised Shade.
He was almost certain that she must have encountered something on the way back, or at least thought of something, otherwise it would not have been like this. And the greedy and passionate foreigner suddenly thought that it was his behavior that caused Lu
Via felt a sense of crisis.
So at midnight, when he held the girl in his arms and talked about his love, he also apologized for this.
But Luvia still has the same attitude as before:
"I said, as long as it helps our cause, I don't care. Your influence on the Witch Council has become more and more profound, and your bond with the Red Butterfly Twins has become unbreakable. Why do you want to apologize to me?"
The bedroom was a little stuffy because the lights were not turned on. The sound of the cat in the closet scratching the door had long since disappeared. Shade gently stroked her hair:
"Every time you say that, I feel very sad."
"But you're still going to keep doing it, aren't you?"
She gently bit Shade's neck, and then said in his ear:
"What games did you play with those sisters? Try it with me too."
"I don't think you'll like it."
"What's wrong with giving it a try? Can they do it but I can't? Knight, is this your loyalty to me?"
Therefore, even though Shade used "Soul Whip" with minimal force, the purple-eyed girl still showed an unusually serious reaction. Afterwards, when she huddled in Shade's arms and prepared to fall asleep, she still lamented that the witches were indeed mentally disturbed:
"They actually like this kind of thing. I don't deny that it's a little exciting, but it's too much. How did they come up with such an idea?"
After the hot night, Luvia left early Tuesday morning without even eating breakfast, as if she was worried about bumping into someone else.
But in fact, no one else visited Shade this early morning. Priest August and Dr. Schneider were still on their way back. Captain Rades, who was temporarily transferred back to Tobesk, would not be able to visit Shade soon.
Life seemed to have returned to its original state. He and the cat had breakfast alone. While washing the dishes, he was still thinking about whether to go to Green Island to continue sorting out the books or to go to Huntington City to get the chess piece first.
Lecia helped Shade make the third choice.
Because of Shad's relationship with Miss Carina, Lesia could not visit here often. This morning, she asked her maid to deliver a letter to Shad.
So an hour later, Shade appeared at the horse farm outside the Marquis Le Maire's estate outside the city.
Although the surname is the same, the Marquis Le Maire and Shade's former client, Mrs. Le Maire, who inherited property in Coldwater Port, have nothing to do with each other. As for the manor and horse farm, they are together with Lakeview Manor, which Shade is quite familiar with.
Surrounding the entire Schluchsee.
So the way to the racecourse is the way to Lakeview Estate.
Although it snowed a few days ago, the snowflakes have melted, and today is a good day. There is no fog in the city outside the city, and cotton-like clouds float in the blue sky, which makes people feel more relaxed and happy. The sunshine is even a bit dazzling, so Lacey
Ya and Agelina were sitting under the awning of the VIP seats in the racecourse.
"Good morning, Shade."
This was the first time Lesia had seen Shad since she returned to Tobesk, but considering this was a public place, she still maintained her restraint.
Her Royal Highness the Princess asked Shade to sit on her left side, which disappointed Agelina who was on Lesia's right side.
"Why do you have time to watch the horse racing today?"
Shade asked, holding her left hand. A faint smile appeared on the princess's face, but she still held up the telescope with her right hand to let herself look at the situation in the field:
"After all the things at hand have been taken care of, of course I have to relax."
