Shade and Mr. Albert, who had just arrived at the door of the barn yard, happened to hear these last few words. The coroner showed no expression on his face, while Shade coughed:
"Although it's wrong for us to leave you here alone, you don't have to 'retaliate' against me like this, right?"
Mr. Bernhardt immediately turned his head. Seeing that both of them had returned safely, he smiled and asked:
"Is it solved?"
"It's solved. That thing won't appear in Moon Bay for hundreds of years. No matter the Marquis, the captain or Mrs. Jude, they are all safe."
"look."
Then Herr Bernhard turned to Frau Jude and said:
"Just tell us whether we can help you."
Shade saw that the corners of the lady's mouth trembled.
However, Mrs. Jude was not actually that angry about Shade's cruel treatment just now. The evidence is that although she had been complaining to Mr. Bernhardt, when Shade showed up, she said nothing.
.
Of course, there is also a reason why they did solve the trouble. As for whether he is grateful to them or afraid of them, Shade doesn't know.
Mr. Bernhard had probably told her the characteristics of [Richard's Note] in detail just now, but she still asked Shade and Mr. Albert. After confirming that the thing would really not come back, she used an exaggerated
He patted his chest with his own movement, and then solemnly thanked Shade for saving her.
But Shade still asked the question:
"Didn't you promise Miss Rice not to carry out your little hobby in the recent period?"
The four of them returned to the barn together, and the child was still sleeping soundly on the table. Mr. Bernhardt walked over and touched her neck, and Mrs. Jude first said:
"She was just hypnotized by me and is having a good dream now."
Then he hesitated and said something that no one could understand, and finally bowed his head and admitted his mistake to the three of them:
"I won't hold you accountable for what you did to me tonight, and you guys shouldn't tell Miss Rice about it, okay?"
The three of them looked at each other:
"This is not equivalence. The three of us have been in Yuewan recently, and we may visit your orphanage from time to time. If we suddenly visit one night and find that one or two people are missing from the children's beds, don't count on us.
I will keep the secret for you."
"I understand that you three men are really boring, don't you know how to show mercy to me?"
So none of the three people spoke, but just looked at her. Mrs. Jude bravely looked at them for a while, then nodded and lowered her head.
In short, the busy day that started this morning was finally over. Shade didn't even rush to find "Desire". He said goodbye to Mr. Bernhardt and Mr. Albert after returning to the city, and then returned to Belindel Manor.
Because they were worried that Shade hadn't eaten yet, the girls in the manor were waiting for him to come back. The night was already very dark, so almost everyone was there, including Miss Belindel, Luvia, Miss Elise, Ah
Miss Flora, Miss Swift, Tifa, Miss Matilda, Emilia, Agelina.
Seeing Xia De's tired look, they didn't rush to ask him what happened tonight.
"Go take a shower first, and have a hot meal after the shower. The supper will be ready soon. You can go and eat by yourself, let Matilda and Tifa serve you, and others will not disturb you."
The countess said softly, while Luvia gently hugged the cat acting coquettishly at Shade's feet:
"You must be exhausted this day. I'll take care of little Mia first."
After saying that, she handed it to Agelina who was standing aside. The little princess blinked her eyes, wondering what Luvia's taking care of this cat had to do with her.
"After you finish eating, you can go home or rest here."
Miss Aurora also said, taking the long sword from Shade's hand:
"Go take a shower and eat, have a good night's rest, and tell us what happened tomorrow."
After running around for a day, Shade finally got a chance to rest. After taking a shower, a sumptuous dinner was already placed in the restaurant. After placing the food, Tifa and Miss Matilda did not go back to the restaurant.
Not bothering Shade, he stood outside the restaurant door, which was ajar.
Shade was the only one left at the long table covered with white tablecloth. Although it looked very deserted, it was just enough for Shade to think carefully about what he had done today and plan what would happen next.
"He seemed troubled."
Two maid ladies in black and white maid dresses looked at Shade outside the door. Seeing that Shade was still frowning in thought even though he was eating, Miss Matilda said softly to Tifa.
Tifa pursed her lips and nodded:
"He is always like this, and it was the same when he was in Tobesk. He hides many things in his heart, and will not tell the ladies and others until they are really resolved."
After speaking, she looked at the blond maid aside. Matilda blinked doubtfully, and then heard the northern maid in front of her say seriously:
"When the master is troubled, just standing aside and sighing is not what a maid should do."
"So what should be done?"
She asked the head maid of the Duchess of the North.
"Can you lend me your card temporarily?"
"certainly."
After taking Matilda's hairpin, Tifa also took off her own hairpin, then opened the door and walked into the restaurant, then smoothly restored the door to a state where only a crack was left.
Shade looked at the tall black-haired girl in confusion, wondering what she was going to do. Then, he saw Tifa walking towards this side, using those hairpins to tie up her long black hair.
At the back of the head, even the hair on the sides of the cheeks was gathered up.
"What are you"
"Please continue to eat, I just want to make you happy."
She squatted down slightly next to Shade, and then got under the table under the white tablecloth. Shade wanted to stop it, but it was too late. He wanted to pull the tablecloth away and look down, but his hand was opened by the hand under the table.
:
"Please wait for me"
His face was flushed, and he was restlessly sitting at the table with his left hand holding a knife in his right hand, but at least the troubled and sad expression on his face was really gone.
Probably because his attention was distracted, Shade didn't notice, and his eyes never left the crack in the door. The southern blonde maid, who thought she could learn new "knowledge", nervously grabbed the hem of her apron with her hands and stared.
He looked at this scene in the restaurant with his eyes flushed:
"Oh, she, she actually"
In short, although the girls in the manor were very curious about how Shade's mood suddenly improved after a late night snack, as long as he was no longer worried, the girls would not worry.
The night was already dark, and Shade did not stay here longer. After tonight, it will be the Flower Moon of August, and the arrival of the new January means that the black time key can be used again.
Long-haired Luvia reminded that in the face of the dragon-devouring god, Miss Isabella and the doomsday power from the past life can be the key. But Shade needs to make Miss Isabella accept the "God of Love"
To achieve the effect of "thorn", we still need to find a way to bring Miss Isabella to the "real world" again.
He has not yet thought about how to achieve these two requirements, so the key is not suitable for use yet. Although he now has "Witch Reverberation: The Last Speaker-Isabella", the problem is,
"She" said that the nature of this reverberation was special, and Shade could not call her out with the words of low-level sublimation, "the reverberation of time and space shakes the sleeping power."
"Why are you frowning again?"
After "dinner", when the ladies were saying goodbye to Shade, Luvia asked worriedly, and Shade immediately shook his head:
"It's nothing. If I encounter some minor problems, I can solve them myself."
"He's always like this."
Miss Aurora shook her head and was curious why the two head maids didn't come to say goodbye to Shade.
"Then I'll go back first and come back around nine or ten tomorrow morning."
He stood in the foyer of the manor house, turned the cat into a toy and put it away. After waving goodbye to them with a smile, he threw the glass slipper and disappeared.
The girls who came to say goodbye to Shade returned upstairs together, and they were about to rest. At the corner of the corridor on the first floor, the black-haired maid with her hands on her chest was being questioned by the blond head maid of the manor:
"Servit, how could you do this?"
"He is Duke Carina's future husband, and I am Duke Carina's head maid. Isn't it common for maids to do this kind of thing with their male masters?"
The black-haired maid had an inquiring expression in her eyes. Miss Matilda was speechless for a moment and nervously played with the hair hanging by her ear:
"But, but him."
She bit her lip, not knowing what to say.
On the other side, when Shade returned home and walked down from the attic, he saw the lights on downstairs and felt warmth in his heart for no reason.
[Maybe there is no need to worry about calling Adele Isabella.]
"She" said suddenly.
"Why?"
[Although the low-level words of sublimation in the normal state cannot call her, if the "Philosopher's Stone" is added. 】
Shade raised his eyebrows:
"But I still lack a specific venue with time ritual standards."
"She" chuckled in Shade's ear:
【Can you really not find it?】
"That counts as well?"
【Why doesn't it count?】
Shade thought about it and felt that it would be better to get a second layer of insurance.
Transforming the toy back into a real cat and letting it run and play on the stairs, Shade opened his arms and hugged Miss Carina and Dorothy who came to greet him:
"It's been a long day. You can't imagine what I've done."
"Really, why are you coming home so late?"
The red-haired duchess also complained:
“Where have you been ‘hanging out’ today?”
"Horse racing in the morning, cards in the afternoon, and a private meeting in the barn with the widow of a wealthy businessman in the evening. She doesn't like my binding very much."
Shade answered with a smile, and then was patted gently by Miss Writer:
"You're serious, it's been another busy day? Didn't Luvia and the others do something for you?"
"There are some things that only I can do. Oh, it's already so late. Are you waiting for me, so you're not sleeping? It's time to rest. I don't want to be awake to welcome the arrival of the Flower Moon."
With that said, he and Dorothy walked side by side towards the second floor, with the smiling Miss Carina following behind them - three people could not stand side by side on the stairs.
However, the Duchess suddenly sniffed lightly, and she always felt that Shade had a very, very faint and familiar smell. However, considering that there were so many girls in Belindel Manor, she did not pay attention.
