"I don't deny that I did do it, but there was a reason! I'm used to little Mia standing on my shoulders!"
Shade defended himself in embarrassment, which made the girls laugh.
But at least Luvia didn’t embarrass the “head of the family” for too long:
"Carina, have you talked to Bella? How do you want her to reply to the dead witch?"
"Of course I have said it, maybe they have met now."
So the family dinner at No. 6 St. Teresa Square continued in a joyful and harmonious atmosphere. At the same time, in the empty and deserted Witches' Parliament——
"Bella, can you tell fortunes?"
There were four people in the parliament at this time. In addition to the two great witches who were already seated, their respective apprentices Miss Matilda and Miss Charlotte Bell were also there.
The blonde countess complained in her heart that Shade had not visited her these days, and said to her colleagues:
"Flora, why do you suddenly want me to divine a man? Although our curse will not work on hair alone, I still don't want to come into contact with this."
Flora Winslet said apologetically:
"I'm really troubling you today. There's no need to do divination carefully. I just want to know what happened before he turned twenty."
She was also worried that Bella Belindel would discover Shade's secret if she divined too carefully.
So the Countess of Moon Bay resisted the urge to make a strange expression. It's not like she hasn't tried to divine Shade's past before, but just like Luvia once said, nothing can be divined.
"Okay, but I'll only do this once."
After speaking, she signaled the maid behind her to make preparations for divination. Miss Matilda took out the pair of divination cards from the pocket of her white apron, rinsed them briefly several times and handed them to her master.
The great witch who was destined to have a beautiful birthmark between her eyebrows did not waste any time and soon scattered a whole deck of fortune-telling cards on the table.
She was chatting with Miss Winslet while performing the movements in her hands. Actually, she wanted to tease her. After all, she was "teased" by Carina and Vanessa when they were in Moon Bay, and this time
But finally it was her turn:
"Tell me, Flora, what is your relationship with this man? Don't say we are enemies. I heard from Emma that the Speaker visited you earlier and said everything was fine with you."
"It's just a common acquaintance, don't be so curious."
The great witch of death waved her hand lightly.
"If I hadn't known that this was a man, I might have thought that you had found yourself a lover."
The countess continued to tease, while Matilda beside her lowered her head to hide the smile she wanted to show on her lips. As for the witch apprentice Miss Bell on the other side, she looked at her teacher worriedly.
Miss Winslet raised her head slightly:
"Then let's divine the gender first to see if he is a boy or a girl."
"This lady has also done fortune-telling."
The maid thought to herself, silently retreating behind the Countess, and then remembered the "teaching" of the maid from the North:
"And I've confirmed it myself."
The two hands were twisted together in the dark, and she also missed Shade a little.
"You still need me to divine things like gender? Don't you know if it triggers our curse?"
The Countess asked angrily, rejecting the proposal and continued with the divination:
"If it is to divine the course of life, water divination or crystal balls are actually more convenient. After all, the amount of information given by playing cards is limited. But I know too little about the man you want to divine, so I am afraid that water divination and crystal balls can't get any conclusions.
.
Next, I turn over five cards and use the five cards to describe the other person's early experiences. Don't blame me if you can't interpret it. I'm just a fortune teller, not a wish-fulfillment master."
"I know, let's get started."
Miss Belindel put away Shade's hair, pretended to recite a few spells, and then went straight to open the cards.
In the past few times of similar divination, even with Luvia's assistance, in the end I only got the two exact cards of "Reversed Tower" and "Upright Moon".
But they alone can't explain anything. Luvia also asked Shade about this, and Shade said in surprise, "Your divination is really amazing. The tower in reverse and the moon in upright are correct, but I already know this."
Something happened."
Therefore, the countess felt that she would draw these two cards again this time, so the divination steps were extremely simple, and could even be said to be unprofessional. After all, she just wanted to fool around.
So as expected, the first two cards turned over were cards with unclear meanings such as "Freedom" and "Treasure". Her intuition told her that these two cards had nothing to do with Shade's past.
"The third picture: Tower in reverse position."
She nodded and made an inscrutable expression, something she was very skilled at as a professional fortune teller:
"Picture 4: The Moon in its upright position."
She arranged the two cards together, and she felt surprised. After all, she got these two cards accurately last time, but after the Battle of Moon Bay, it took her and Luvia a day to draw them after careful preparation.
??????55.??????
He reached for the last card and said:
"It looks like it's working out, and yes, I feel it, and the venue of Parliament reinforces the direction of destiny for me."
As she spoke, she put her hand on the fifth card, and then frowned for a moment, because she really had an unusual feeling. Although she hadn't turned over the card yet, she knew that the result this time was correct:
"But why was it because I was promoted to level 12?"
After an imperceptible pause, she turned over the last card:
"This is the reversed big tree. The reversed tree usually represents curses and diseases. What we are divining is about someone's past, so he"
The three cards were arranged together. Although Bella Belindel was extremely confused, she still shook her head at her colleagues:
"This divination method requires five valid divination cards to continue the next round of story divination. Now there are only three, which does not meet the conditions for the next round."
"Okay, okay, it seems like he does have anti-divination relics on him. She is really good to her students. Thank you, Bella, for disturbing you tonight."
The dark-gray-haired witch thanked her again. Although she was disappointed, she was not too surprised.
The countess smiled and said it was nothing, but unexpectedly Miss Winslet folded her hands together and put them on the table in the sky, and suddenly asked her:
"Speaking of which, everyone seems to have been promoted in the past year. Carina, Sister Megan, Vanessa, and you have all become the twelfth level, and Emma has also become the eleventh level. Everyone has found
Any tips?"
She complained slightly:
"I feel like if this continues, even Emma will be promoted to level 12 before me. Oh, Bella, how did you feel when you were promoted?"
“It’s nothing”
She can't say that she guessed something remarkable through Sha De's reminder:
"I feel that you will be promoted to the twelfth level soon. Believe me, fate says so."
After all, Shade is now with this great witch of death.
Miss Winslet didn't understand what she meant. She thanked her again and stood up to leave.
But the Countess, who had nothing to do tonight and wanted to have some fun, said:
"I've been really bored lately. The reconstruction of Yuewan City is gradually getting on track. I also want to go to Tobesk like Vanessa. I haven't been to Tobesk yet. I don't know how it compares with Yuewan.
.”
She glanced at Miss Winslet, who was indeed listening to her words after standing up:
"Speaking of Tobesk, wasn't it rumored that Carina found a handsome lover there some time ago? It seems to be Hamilton or something. I don't know if her maid with a good figure played the role.
Fortunately, Hamilton was there to cover her up, otherwise the church would have suspected whether she was a witch at the beginning of this year.
Flora, how about when we see Vanessa in Parliament next time, let her quietly observe what's going on with 'Hamilton' in Tobesk?"
She was very satisfied to see the unnatural look on Miss Winslet's face:
"Let Vanessa investigate quietly, for example, follow Carina, and then suddenly jump out from behind the curtain or inside the cabinet when they are dating. Carina always said that she and Miss Servit are in a pure apprenticeship relationship.
But I think they are not that simple. Vanessa might find a surprise."
Miss Matilda continued to try hard to control her expression and not think about the erotic story of "the duchess and the cheating knight and maid". Fortunately, no one paid attention to her now.
Because Miss Winslet was thinking that if Vanessa really did this, what she saw hugging each other might not be the Duke and the maid, but the beautiful witch and the handsome knight.
Just thinking of this scene in my mind, a sense of anger that a beautiful thing has been tarnished came to my heart. Of course, the person who was tarnished was Shade, who had an almost "natural body". As for Carina, witches are not rare, she is
I know twelve of them, and I can even see one every day when I look in the mirror.
"It's better not to propose to Vanessa like this. After all, this is Carina's privacy."
The great witch of death then said this. She hid her little thoughts and planned to remind Carina to be wary of Vanessa next time. The countess, who was holding back her smile, probably also knew that Carina and Carina had been together last time.
Vanessa's feelings:
"That's really interesting."
"What did you say?"
"I mean, fate has revealed to me again that Vanessa is going to have a great time tonight."
"Why would fate tell you such a thing?"
But none of them expected that Miss Belindel just said it casually and it actually came true.
It has been three days since Vanessa arrived in Tobesk. Now the opera troupe has settled in and will spend the next weekend, officially starting the performance next week. Therefore, Vanessa still has time to spend the night at Shade's house this week, such as this Friday
night.
But this time it was not Carina but Luvia who stayed with her. The girl with purple eyes had not been intimate with Shade for more than half a week.
