The Whispering Verses Chapter 1018: Letter and photos

Xia De did not wait too long, but within five or six minutes, the unique sound of high heels touching the carpet could be heard in the corridor outside the door. Listening to the footsteps, it seemed that Lecia had brought many maids with her.

He stood up from the sofa to greet him. After Lesia's maid opened the door, Lecia walked in together with the little princess Agelina in a red dress.

The little princess greeted Shade very elegantly, then raised her head and asked with concern:

"Knight, are you okay Wednesday night?"

This was the first time she saw Shade after the reading salon.

"It's okay, I was just in a coma for a day."

Shad replied, and then looked at Lesia. Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded to him with a smile, looking very polite:

"Mr. Hamilton, the accident on Wednesday night caused you to suffer misfortune for nothing. Inviting you to watch the opera together today is a formal apology."

Although he didn’t know why Lesia spoke like this, Shade followed her intention and replied:

"You don't have to blame yourself, and the main responsibility for this matter lies with the Prophet Association. They have already compensated me. I heard that you also spoke for me in order to fight for the [Original Knowledge], which is very good. Thank you. I am healthy now and have no sequelae from that incident.”

Lecia nodded, and the royal lady said softly:

"Then you have to apologize properly. I can check your body in person. Gas poisoning is not a trivial matter."

Agelina opened her mouth slightly and looked up at her sister. Lesia's expression was very serious, as if she was talking about something serious:

"The cause of this incident is that I invited you to my reading salon after all. I have to take responsibility."

As he spoke, he waved to the maids behind him. These were Lesia's personal maids, so they naturally knew what Her Royal Highness the Princess meant, and retreated from the side door to the next room one after another.

Lecia said to Agelina again:

"I want to talk to the knight about compensation for him, and I want to check with him to see if he has any other problems due to gas poisoning. Agelina, go next door and guard the door for us, don't let anyone else in, It would be shameful if others misunderstood that we were doing something bad.”

"Check your body"

The little princess pursed her lips and looked at Sha De. From Sha De's expression, she understood that Sha De didn't know about the "physical examination" before he came. He might have been deceived by other reasons.

"I know."

Agelina said a little dejectedly, looking at Shade with some unbearability. While she was pitifully walking towards the side door, turning back three times, Lesia had already taken off her red strappy high-heeled shoes, holding the shoes with **** of her right hand, smiling and shaking them twice in front of Shade, and then It was very uncivilized to put it on the coffee table.

Lesia sat sideways on the sofa, her legs wearing white stockings with garters pressing over Shade's thighs. Shade looked at the pair of stockings and thought of the witch's clothes he had seen in 5177 of the previous era.

Lecia stretched out her arms and hugged Shade's neck affectionately, then turned to look at her sister who had not left yet, her tone was a little harsh:

"Agelina!"

The little princess lowered her head and walked out of the side, and with a click, locked the door on the other side.

"Wear the demon hunting ring, the devil's things"

Xia De still wants to talk.

"She might think that I used other reasons to trick you here."

After throwing away the mute spell, Lesia interrupted Shade with a smile, put the ring next to her high heels, bit her red lower lip with her white teeth, and looked at Xia De at close range with her beautiful eyes. Virtue.

Lesia can completely guess what Agelina is thinking. Of course, Lesia doesn’t care what Agelina thinks tonight, she won’t waste this precious weekend tryst time:

"Knight, let me check your body. I really hope you won't always be greedy for our writer lady. The princess also needs you sometimes. The opera is about to start. It's so wonderful, a weekly tryst"

(Yin Luna is writing a report)

If you don't get enough rest, even a ring warlock will be in poor spirits the next day. It was eleven o'clock when I got home on Monday night, but it was already midnight when I went to bed.

In short, early on Tuesday morning, Shade, who was yawning and wearing slippers, went downstairs to get newspapers and milk. After pulling out the long blond hair that made his neck itchy from the collar of his pajamas, he saw Gao Gao on the doormat. Letter from Miss De.

Last month’s letter didn’t arrive until almost mid-term, but this month’s letter came on the third day.

The address on the envelope is still a remote town on the eastern coast of Delrayon. Miss Gauthe's handwriting was already quite familiar to Shade, and in this letter, the lady told Shade good news.

"Miss Gao De's illness has completely recovered."

Xia De, who was sitting at the dining table, opened the letter and said happily. The writer lady, who started living together for a short time, caressed little Mia while eating. Seeing as she had made breakfast, the cat did not resist.

"In the previous letters, this lady also said that there were some strange phenomena in the town where her family was located. I was still a little worried at the time. Unexpectedly, it only took more than half a month for the matter to be temporarily solved by the church. , Miss Gao De’s illness is almost cured.”

He said while continuing to read the letter.

"You originally planned to take a steam train to that town in the spring of 1854 to have a look and complete the last commission of the former detective. Can you start your travel plan now?"

"Yes, if everything goes well, I plan to leave in April next year."

Shad nodded and read the last line of the letter. When Miss Gold writes a letter, she always stamps it at the end of the letter. Judging from the traces, it was an ancient metal seal, probably left by her ancestors:

"Things in the town are temporarily settled. Miss Gothe plans to repair the ancestral house this winter, sell off the unnecessary family collections, recover the land deeds buried in the courtyard, and dispose of the family's abandoned banquet manor and farm. She told me that if the plan goes well, she wants to restore the docks in the bay and restore the town's maritime trade."

Xia De smiled and said:

"It seems that the lady will not leave town soon and will not return to Tobesk. I am confident that she can convince her to sell little Mia to me."

"Did she mention Mia again in her letter?"

Dorothy asked curiously, and Shade nodded again:

"Yes, this lady asked me again to take a photo holding the cat and send it to her. She is still very affectionate for little Mia, and she wants to see the cat again before the end of this year."

"Take pictures?"

Dorothy's eyes lit up and she pretended to say casually:

"I noticed that except for the photo you sent to Miss Gold in the fall, there are no photos of you in this house. Since you are going to take pictures, why not take a few more. I know you don't like to let My face appears in the photo, but if it’s hanging at home, it’s fine. Or rather, it would be weird if I didn’t have a photo of myself at home.”

Xia De thought for a while, tilted his head and looked towards his living room:

"That makes sense. I'll make an appointment at the photo studio in the afternoon. How about we make an appointment to take pictures together?"

He then suggested, and Dorothy nodded with satisfaction:

"Also, let's take a photo together. Since it's the end of the year, I also want to commemorate this extraordinary year. Take a photo and keep it. Maybe the literary award at the end of the year will really need my photo. ”

On this somewhat boring Tuesday day, nothing interesting happened. It wasn't that Shade didn't go out all day. In addition to reading at home, he also wrote a reply to Miss Gold. Of course, he didn't forget to ask about Little Mia's breed in the letter.

The investigation report for Baron Cameron was not urgent, so Shade just went to the photo studio to make an appointment to take pictures in the afternoon. By the end of the year, the photo studios in the city were doing very well. In addition to guests being able to take photos in person, the photo studio also allows photographers and apprentices to come and take photos with equipment.

The former requires an appointment, while the latter only requires an extra payment and you can take pictures immediately.

In order to save waiting time, Shade made an appointment with the photographer to come to his home at four o'clock this afternoon. After returning home and telling Dorothy, the blonde complained that Shade didn't give her enough time to put on her makeup.

As for this week's "God's Gift Box" gift, Shade only remembered it near the evening.

At that time, the photographer had been busy for more than an hour and had just left. He had made an appointment with Shade to pick up the photos over the weekend.

He was preparing to have dinner with Dorothy outside. The clothes required for traveling in winter were far more troublesome than in summer. The writer finally packed them up and put on a red mink scarf. This was what she had worn a few days ago. I bought it myself with royalties.

Shad didn't want Dorothy to wait for him any longer, and in his opinion, taking gifts every week was a very "sacred" ritual that should not be done in a hurry. Therefore, the two of them and the cat went to Silver Cross Avenue for dinner first, and then they went for a walk together in the University District after the lights on the street started to light up.

After returning home, Xia Decai finally went to the basement to take out the "God's Gift Box". I touched a handful of little Mia to increase my luck, and then put my hand into the box:

"So far, I have only found out one relic [Master Key]. Do you have any luck this time?"

My palm touched a slender metal object at the bottom of the box. After taking it out, I found it was a pen. Of course, although it looks good and has cursive handwritten letters on the surface of the pen cap, it is just an ordinary item.

"Still no luck."

Shad sat back on the sofa with some disappointment and handed the pen to Dorothy.

"This is the 1844 commemorative Mendy pen."

Dorothy took the pen from Shade's hand, and her tone sounded like Shade was ignorant:

"Purely handmade. In order to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the writing of "Poetry: The Emperor's Ride", only 300 were produced, and most of them were given to well-known writers. Each one has a special number, Last year, an auction house in the city sold one for a high price of 287 pounds!"

Obviously, Dorothy was not a well-known author three years ago, so she had only heard of it.

"The total number now becomes 301."

Shadow said with a smile. Dorothy took off the cap of the pen to check the number on the inside, then stretched out her hand and smoothed the position of the number:

"This is mine."

She said with a smile, inspecting the pen lovingly.

Xia De nodded:

"Would you like to guess what my task is this week."

"Since the gift is a pen, then the task is to write an article?"

"No, no, the children's task will not be so troublesome. It is to practice calligraphy, or copying. You can copy anything you want, and the total amount must reach 300 words."

"The old **** really prefers you, big boy."

Dorothy said softly, putting her right arm around Shade's neck and asking him to come closer to her:

“I really don’t know how you can be classified as a ‘boy’.”
