Although Shade made a nest for Mia in the closet with old clothes on Tuesday night, the orange cat was still quite unhappy early Wednesday morning.
After Shade was let out in the morning, he didn't pay much attention to him. Even if Shade heated the goat's milk, soaked the cat food and put it in Mia's special bowl, she just barked reservedly, and waited until Shade came back. When he got to his seat, he pretended to be reserved and walked over.
Shade never thought that he could see such a human expression in a cat.
Shade, who was sitting at the table, carefully peeled the hard-boiled eggs, and then under Mia's cautious eyes, he moved from his seat to the cat standing on the table eating.
He separated the still hot white egg from the middle, and the yellow yolk was even steaming.
Mia looked at the direction of Room 2, then looked at the egg yolk in Shade's hand with wide eyes, and tilted her head:
"Meow?"
"Want to eat?"
Shade asked. The cat blinked and meekly called:
"Meow~"
So Mia got a snack for breakfast, and Shade regained the love of his cat.
[Do you need a reminder, it is]
"Yes, it is Miss Mia's cat, I know..."
Pulling Mia's bowl to his hand, and then petting the well-behaved cat, Shade sat back in his seat and opened the newspaper to read the report on this year's Tobesk autumn harvest statistics. It seems that this year is a good year, Tobesk The grain production around Besk is very good.
Ding dong~
The doorbell sounded from downstairs, and the cat with goat's milk on its face looked towards the stairs. Shade touched it to reassure it. He stood up in surprise, looked down from the living room window, and saw an unfamiliar car. The carriage was parked downstairs of his house.
"Oh, a client came to your door today?"
Xia De was happy, but frowned slightly:
"It's only half past seven, why is the client so anxious?"
I picked up the clothes on the hanger at the door of the second floor, put on my coat over my shirt, stomped downstairs, and changed my slippers into leather shoes at the door:
"please wait for a moment."
Shade shouted from behind the door, took off the anti-theft chain of the door, pulled the latch inside the door, and then turned the door handle.
It was an early morning in Tobesk outside the door. Autumn fog and gray fog mixed together, making the sky a little gloomy. There were already some pedestrians on St. Teresa Square, but most of them were sleepy and in a hurry. In the distance, there was a black sunken sky. The boy selling newspapers and hats was entangled with the middle-aged man holding a briefcase, while the girl selling flowers was talking quietly to the lady who stuck her head out of the carriage at the street corner.
The fog dyed this scene a little color, making this scene a bit like a street scene in a classical oil painting, becoming a reality. Centennial buildings like St. Teresa Square stand in the center of the royal capital as in the past, with water bottles held in their hands. The girl statue still smiles in the misty dark morning.
The carriage stopped in front of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, and the door had been opened. The red-haired girl in a black pleated floral skirt, together with the gem decoration on her skirt, gave the oil painting of the early morning street scene a special color.
.
The red-haired girl smiled at Shade:
"Good morning, Shade, I hope I won't run into Luvia at your place."
Of course not. Luvia left very early. She didn't bring a change of clothes, and she needed to go home and change before going to work at the Prophet's Association.
"Good morning, Lesia."
Shade said very unexpectedly, this must be the first time the two of them have met physically in a month since the Queen's birthday party was unexpectedly interrupted by Darkness.
"Good morning, detective!"
Another voice said, and the shorter sixteen-year-old princess also poked her head out of the carriage. It was Princess Agelina Cavendish, with a big smile on her face. Her green face and
The youthful clothing decoration makes her very different from her sister.
"Why are you here? Come in quickly."
Realizing that it was best not to let too many people see Lesia and Agelina, Shade made way for the door and let the princesses in. They were followed by two maids with their heads lowered, but Shade had not seen them.
Probably this is the personal servant next to the little princess.
The two princesses passed by Shade one after another, and the tips of their hair brushed Shade's shoulders. Lesia still had the familiar smell of lily perfume, which was not very strong. Even Shade, who hated ordinary perfumes of this era, could accept it.
.Agelina’s body is.
"Floral perfume."
Shade can't distinguish different floral fragrances. He doesn't have this ability. The smell of perfume on Lesia's body is what she said herself.
Nodding to the expressionless coachman, Shade closed the door of St. Teresa Square in the early morning from the inside, shrouded in fog.
Although Lesia had never been to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square herself, she had been there many times through Dorothy's body. Therefore, she walked in front and took the lead up the stairs without using Shade to lead the way. This made Ben think
Agelina, who was going to the first floor, was a little surprised. She looked back at Shade who was closing the door, but said nothing.
The group of people came to the living room on the second floor. Lecia naturally sat on the sofa and asked the two maids to go to the kitchen to prepare tea. Seeing a group of strangers coming to the house, the cats were obviously very uncomfortable with this atmosphere. Because
He was so frightened that he didn't even pay attention to the goat's milk left in the bowl. When the maids approached the kitchen, he ran quickly to Shade.
"Mr. Hamilton, are you having breakfast?"
The little princess was very curious about this place, but due to her status as a "royal lady", she did not look around, but sat obediently next to her sister.
Lesia is about the same age as Dorothy, and both are slightly older than Shade's body. Speaking of which, Luvia is actually older than Lesia. And the sixteen-year-old Ajie
Lina, she doesn’t have so many worries, and the sky blue princess dress she is wearing today is a younger style, so she looks even younger.
"Yes, I usually have breakfast at this time. Why are you here so early? Is there something urgent?"
Shade sat on the single sofa on one side.
"It's not urgent because if it hadn't been so early, I wouldn't have been able to come here."
Lesia said, scanning Shade with her eyes. She knew that Shade had broken into the narrow realm of life and death:
"After Brother Sacks was sentenced to death, someone had to take over the affairs of the New World that he originally managed."
"Is it under your control?"
"It would be great if that were the case, but obviously I'm not good enough to handle these things in my father's eyes."
"After Sister Lesia came back from Kasenlik, her father has always asked her to be responsible for handling diplomatic matters. Meeting with foreign ambassadors, attending some banquets, or delivering a speech in the Kingdom Parliament, probably this kind of thing."
Agelina said that Lesia, who successfully completed her visit to the Southern Kingdom on behalf of the royal family, successfully gained greater power.
"Yes, yes, the taste of power is very good, but it also takes up a lot of time. Fortunately, I can still handle it."
Lesia smiled, and then the red-haired princess looked at Shade:
"I have to go back before nine o'clock in the morning. As for coming to see you so early, it's because you were busy saving your friends last Saturday, didn't you miss our class?"
"Is such that."
"So to make up for it, the matter of the spiritual runes cannot be delayed, especially for you."
Shade did not speak, but glanced at Agelina. Lesia shook her head:
"It doesn't matter, Agelina is trustworthy. And she is very talented. No, I don't mean that she has become a magician. Agelina has been very inspired since she was a child." (Note)
"Yes, if I guess the head or tail of a coin, as long as the amount of data is large enough, I can achieve a success rate of more than 80%!"
The little princess said, and then smiled and waved to the cat huddled in Shade's arms, but the cat ignored her at all.
"Oh, such a strong inspiration?"
For this kind of ordinary people, it is almost certain that they will awaken at some point in the future. Of course, it is only "almost", and it may really be just good luck.
"Then you guess this, how about we guess it ten times?"
Shade took out the [upright coin]. Dorothy heard Shade mention something he bought from Fort Midhill, so Lesia also knew this:
"Stop bullying my sister. If you throw this out, it will only stand on the ground. Shade, let's get down to business. I want to entrust you to do something."
"whats the matter?"
Shade asked curiously, and Lesia took out a photo from the pocket of her skirt. On it was a man wearing the uniform of the Delarian Royal Army. Judging from the epaulettes, he was a lieutenant.
Turn to the back of the photo and it says "The Wind Rises Trail - Redwater Camp 1st Company - Lieutenant Shorten".
"If you have time, help investigate this person. You don't need to be very careful, you just need to know if he has any strange large expenses recently."
Shade raised his eyebrows:
"No problem, it's easy."
Yesterday, he helped the corporal who died in the "Gulf of Life and Death" return the pistol to Captain Ronald at the Red Water Camp. Unexpectedly, he had another mission related to that place. Maybe, he should go to the Red Water on the Fengqi Trail.
If you go to the traveler's camp next to the camp, you can also go into the mountains to find the witcher's sword.
"After I get your reply, I will give you a suitable reward. No, there is no need to refuse. You know what I need most is gold pounds."
Lesia waved her hands, but she didn't explain what was wrong with Lieutenant Shorten. She talked about another thing:
"Regarding your [Sleep], in the class two weeks ago, we already started trying to read "The Sleeping Princess". How is the progress recently?"
"Not bad. I try to copy the stories written in ancient characters every day. The parchment is in the drawer now."
Shade emphasized again:
"This time, I didn't burn it."
This sentence is emphasized because the parchment provided by Lesia that recorded the ancient text of the fairy tale "Match Girl" and "Tree Kiss" was destroyed by Shade as the price of obtaining the Mystery Lock.
PS: Chapter 484, Agelina mentioned, "When I first saw you in the courtyard on the second floor terrace of Lakeview Manor, I felt that you were different from everyone else."
