"Look at your expression now, what are you worried about? Your Excellency the Speaker said she would only stay for one day. She is currently working with Megan Audrey in the northern part of the Old Continent to contain the angelic relic [The Atonement's Lament]."
Carina said with a smile, and briefly told Shade the effect of the relic:
"It seems that they don't want to use the relics to remove the curse, and I think the Speaker's action on Wednesday will probably not have any effect. Shade, what are you going to do?"
"What to do? Of course I will avoid your Speaker on Wednesday. Even if I am in Vista City on Wednesday, I will definitely avoid her. I don't want to meet Miss Isabella now."
"That's it"
The Duchess nodded, thinking that Shade knew the "future", so it was not the time for the two to meet yet:
"I thought you were going to disguise yourself and try to get in touch with her first. Well, now that I've told you the matter, Tifa, ask the maid to call the carriage. It's very late, let's go back."
As he spoke, he stood up from the sofa, but kept looking at Shade.
The black-haired head maid who came over with a saucer did not greet the other maids. She just winked at Shade, and Shade reached out and held Carina:
"It's so dark outside, why don't you leave tonight. What else did you say to Miss Winslet? Tell me later."
"Is that all you want to hear?"
She then raised her eyebrows and asked, her smiling expression clearly wanting Shade to say those words herself.
Shade then complied with her request:
"Of course it's not just the long night listening to you talk, but Mia and I living in such a big house, I will also be very lonely."
The cat on the back of the sofa turned to look at him, and the red-haired witch smiled with satisfaction:
"Okay, then I will accompany you tonight. After all, everyone says that you are my lover, although it may be the other way around, but no matter what, it is my turn tonight."
She sat down again and hugged Shade's neck, took a deep breath, and then suddenly asked:
"Flora's perfume smells like, have you hugged her today?"
"Um?"
He did help her in the afternoon, but Shade didn't think it was a hug.
"No need to explain, I understand. I only have one request, you can't take a shower tomorrow morning!"
"This is not okay!"
"Then you can only wash your hair. I must let you bring the smell of my perfume to see her! Don't object, this matter is non-negotiable!"
Although Shade pointed out that if she really wanted to achieve her goal, she could just sprinkle the perfume on him when she woke up the next morning, but Carina was still very enthusiastic that night, even a little too enthusiastic.
The royal female knight once again bravely challenged the foreign knight alone, and then lost again as expected, and was "humiliated" according to the rules of the family. However, she was not disappointed. Instead, after everything was over, in the bedroom at midnight
Li hugged Shade and talked to him again.
The blush on her face has not yet faded, and she speaks softly at this time:
"Flora probably has a crush on you."
Shade didn't answer, but just touched her forehead. Carina, who was smiling crazily, put her face against his chest and listened to his heartbeat:
"I'm not wrong. Although everyone says that Flora is an elegant artist, I know that she is the simplest person. She just likes to look good."
"Carina~"
"Don't rush to refute me. I just feel that she is too curious about you. Speaking of Flora, she is an artist. Everyone says that this is what girls should be. She looks no different from us now."
She rubbed Shade gently, which reminded Shade of little Mia, but the cat was now resting downstairs with Tifa.
"How about I call Tifa up?"
The witch asked suddenly, startling Shade, thinking that her mind-reading skills finally broke through her own powerful mental power, so she saw that she was thinking of the maid:
"Are you kidding? It's very late. Go to bed. Don't you have something to do tomorrow, Monday?"
"But why did you react so strongly when I mentioned Tifa?"
She moved her legs, then smiled and hugged Shade's neck and kissed him passionately:
"You are so kind, Shade. Everything I have will be yours sooner or later."
In order to prevent being unable to take a shower early on Monday morning, Shade woke up early the next morning and saw that Carina, who didn't like to get up early, was still sleeping soundly.
Although the witch did vaguely ask what time it was when he got up, she was fooled by Shade and fell asleep again holding Shade's pillow.
So when she yawned and walked out of the bedroom at seven-thirty in the morning, Shade had already finished washing and was sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper, waiting for her to eat together.
The impatient cat was already licking the goat's milk, and the busy maids delivered hot breakfast to the table.
"You took a shower."
The somewhat dissatisfied Duchess said, sitting on Shade's left hand side:
"After dinner, let's go for morning exercise!"
The maids all suppressed their laughter, and Shade handed her the bread:
"Didn't you say last night that you would arrive at Yodel Palace before nine o'clock this morning? You will have to wash up and put on makeup later, and there will not be enough time."
“There is not enough time and there is not enough practice.”
She was obviously not convinced. After breakfast in a hurry, she pulled Shade into the bedroom again. After a moment of hesitation, she said to her apprentice:
"Tifa, come and help me."
The maid responsible for managing makeup tools sent the perfume to the bedroom early. The specially prepared "witch's scent" showed an alluring purple-pink luster in the early morning sun.
But soon the curtains were drawn again and the door was closed. The duchess picked up the remaining two-thirds of the perfume bottle, opened the cap, and poured half of it on her head.
"What are you doing? This is so annoying."
"do not speak."
Then she handed the bottle to Tifa, and the black-haired maid poured all the remaining perfume on herself without saying anything.
“Since we don’t have enough time, we’ll make do with what we have.”
The strange desire to win made Carina Cavendish make a very strange move. She was filled with the smell of perfume and reached out to unbutton Shade's shirt, but her hand was caught by Shade again.
:
"Are you really sure you want this?"
Shade asked, staring into her golden eyes. Carina did not answer the question, but motioned to Shade to look at the expressionless black-haired maid standing behind her, holding hands together:
"It's now seven-fifty. Although I have to be at Yodel Palace before nine o'clock, it's okay to be half an hour late, so you have to finish before eight-thirty to give me time to wash up and put on makeup. You're not allowed to talk to Tifa.
Other than that, any request you have, we will satisfy you this morning."
"are you sure?"
Shade said suspiciously again, and the witch snorted:
"I knew you wouldn't refuse. Shade, there are still forty minutes left, are you sure you want to waste it talking?"
After saying this and waving back, the docile Tifa stepped forward and stood side by side with her master, pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly not to look at Shad.
Anyway, the smell of the perfume is really off-putting.
(Iluna is praying)
"Good morning, why are you here so late?"
When Shade saw Miss Denister and Miss Winslet sitting across from each other at the table on the first floor of the Accordion Hotel on a sunny morning, it was already close to ten o'clock in the morning.
There were not many people on the first floor of the hotel at this time, but the enthusiastic bard was still playing the lute and telling the local story of "The Lumberjack and the Treasure" in Ximu Town. This is indeed the "City of Music", and even the tavern sells singing
The level of bards is much better than other cities.
Shade smiled awkwardly and sat down. The two ladies chose to sit opposite each other by the wall. The seat opposite the wall was inconvenient because it was in the aisle, so he had to sit next to the red-haired girl:
"Miss Denister, I brought you some clothes a few days ago, and then I thought that as a 'noble girl coming to the concert alone', you should also need a set of jewelry that is suitable for your age."
He took out a jewelry box from his pocket, and when he opened it, there was a complete set of jewelry. Earrings, hair accessories, rings, and bracelets were all included. Of course, he took them out of the "God's Gift Box" this morning.
The Duchess said at the time:
"This style of jewelry is suitable for immature girls like Agelina."
The red-haired girl then took the box to look at the jewelry, but the witch who was still holding the teacup looked at Shade suspiciously, and then twitched her nose slightly.
"Flora, if your admirers see you making such indecent actions, your reputation will definitely suffer."
The red-haired girl reminded her, taking out the ruby earrings from the box and checking them in her palm:
"Shad, are you bribing me?"
"of course not."
After smelling it, Miss Winslet said:
"Don't get me wrong, I just smelled a familiar smell. I didn't expect Carina to be so small-minded. It's not like the smell that sticks to you after being intimate or hugging. Did she pour half a bottle of perfume on you? Detective
gentlemen."
She showed a mocking expression.
Miss Denister asked Xiang Shade:
"Why, are you here so late today because you are at home with your lover?"
"We don't talk about this issue."
Shade hurriedly stopped him because he saw that Miss Winslet's eyes widened at the side and seemed to want to ask how far the relationship between Shade and the Duchess of the North had progressed.
"So, why are you here?"
He asked too, and Miss Daniste closed the lid of the jewelry box:
"Didn't I tell you last week? In the past, I found several townspeople who seemed reliable and asked their descendants to go to the Accordion Hotel to find someone to explain this matter a week after I disappeared.
The date is today, I said just come in the morning, so we have been waiting here to see if anyone will really come."
