The Whispering Verses Chapter 1288: Mission Birthday and Gifts

When Dorothy came back with her clothes, Shade was still busy washing the cat. Seeing that she couldn't resist Shade, little Mia could only accept his rubbing and washing in the bathtub, feeling a little depressed. The orange cat Mia is a short-haired cat, but even so, after washing, because the cat's fur was wet and stuck to her body, she still looked a lot thinner.

Although in this era there was already a machine similar to the "hair dryer" in the stranger's hometown, it was a pity that Shade's house did not have that kind of steam blowing device. Therefore, after washing the cat, he did not forget to quickly hug Mia with a big towel, and then carried her to the fireplace to dry it.

The cat stood in front of the fireplace very obediently, and then suddenly shook its whole body and shook the water. The wet hair "stood up" again, and the clean and tidy orange cat Mia returned to normal again.

It sniffed the scent on its body with its nose, and then seemed to have forgotten the humiliation of being captured by Shade just now, and happily followed Shade around again, looking not at all arrogant. I can't see the "outraging" in the early stages of being washed just now.

Sometimes, Shade really felt that this cat was so emotional that it didn't look like a cat at all.

In short, although it is not the first time to attend such an important banquet, the preparation before the banquet is still annoying. It took Dorothy more than two hours to change her clothes, and she even needed Shade's help during the process.

Before they left home on this Sunday evening, Shade did not forget to take the time key given by the elf girl Emilia. Although tonight is a date with Dorothy and Lesia, it will not delay him from temporarily leaving for three seconds to start a new and interesting adventure.

Dong dong dong~

Shadow was still discussing with Dorothy whether to bring many gifts to the banquet, when there was a knock on the door downstairs.

"Have the servants who helped you move the statue arrived?"

The blond girl dressed up in a bright red dress asked doubtfully, looking at the clock on the wall:

"It's not time yet."

It was impossible for Shade to carry the stone statue to Yodel Palace by himself, let alone turn the toy into a stone statue at the entrance of Yodel Palace, so he asked Miss Carina in advance to send a carriage to pick him up and take the statue with him. The stone statue was also moved to Yoder Palace.

"Not Miss Carina's person."

Xia De was also a little confused. He took a look at the window and then walked downstairs alone.

After opening the door, I saw my boss holding the brim of his hat standing outside the door, Director Anlos of MI6. The latter ducked in and walked in:

"Your clothes are really nice... I hope you don't think that my appearance brings you bad news again."

Dak Anlos said, taking off his hat and holding it in his hand.

"As long as you don't come to tell me that someone is going to assassinate Princess Agelina tonight."

Xia De said half-jokingly.

"We are a peaceful country, where do so many assassinations come from? And, do you look down upon your colleagues too much?"

Director Anlos asked with a smile, and then told his purpose:

"You also know that Her Majesty Agelina is seventeen years old, and His Majesty intends to get her... intends to engage her in the near future. The reason why tonight's birthday party is held in Yoder Palace is also due to the convening and inspection The meaning of those possible candidates. Tonight will not delay your enjoyment of the banquet. It’s just that if you have the chance, try to get in touch with them.”…

He handed Shade an envelope. When he opened it, there were three photos and three names:

"The sons of two dukes, one is the son of Marquis Philippe of the New World Pioneer Corps..."

"Yes, you will have initial contact with these three people tonight, and afterwards give me an investigation report explaining your impressions of these three people. This will affect His Majesty's final decision."

After speaking, he lowered his voice:

"Marquis Philip and Miss Carina are very difficult to deal with. When it comes to business issues in the New World, he is very repelled by Miss Carina's intervention and regards Miss Carina as a kingdom separatist. This time little Philip came back from the New World. If I meet you at the banquet, I will definitely be hostile to you, so be careful. Oh, speaking of which, Your Highness Lesiya is currently in charge of the New World Expansion Corps.

Working hard is also restricted by his father. ”

The relationship between Shade and Lesia is not known, but as the director of MI6, it would be strange if Dark Anlos didn't even know about it. Of course, he did not tell the king about this, after all, he was loyal to Miss Carina.

After warning Shade, he returned to normal volume and patted Shade on the shoulder:

"You are the most suitable person to do this task. Of course, there are other ways to learn more about them besides you. Therefore, don't be too nervous about this task. Just do it when you have time. Try to be as natural as possible. If there is no conversation There is no need to deliberately create opportunities."

"I understand."

Xia De nodded, already thinking about how to cleverly praise the merits of the three young people. He will not use despicable means to directly slander others. After all, sometimes inappropriate compliments can annoy people, especially since Shade knows that he is "very ambitious", "very capable of action, and very interested in politics and military affairs" and so on. In the opinion of Larus III, this description is definitely not a very suitable trait for a princess spouse.

"This saves trouble."

After bidding farewell to his boss at the door, Shade turned and returned upstairs. He promised Agelina to help her get rid of the arranged marriage, so the original plan was to use Margaret's intelligence and manpower to place some "people who had been in contact with the Gray Gloves of the Kasenrik agent organization" on those potential marriage partners. ”, this is actually not difficult, and Xia De doesn’t even have to do it.

With the temporary mission of Director Anlos, it becomes easier to help Agelina.

Shad also told Dorothy about the task he had just received. Unexpectedly, the writer thought of a way to make Shad more trouble-free:

"Just ask Agelina to write that investigation report, and don't waste your time. Don't forget that Agelina is only seventeen years old, my sister is not simple at all."

The soul at this time is still Dorothy, but she uses Lesia's tone of voice. Sometimes Shade worries that the two of them will not be able to tell each other apart:

"She will be happy to help you complete this report. Lesia is interested in her not just because she wants to help her. You can't understand Agelina's little thoughts, Shade."

When the dim sunset shone on the foggy "Pearl of the North" Tobesk City, Princess Agelina Cavendish's seventeenth birthday party was held as scheduled. Private carriages from all over the city transported well-dressed gentlemen and ladies to the entrance of Yodel Palace. Royal housekeepers and servants were at the door to guide the guests not to intrude into places they should not enter, while familiar people talked to each other. They greeted each other, compared their outfits, and praised the decorations made by the Yodel Palace for this birthday party. …

"There has always been something strange about me."

Shad and Dorothy walked on the red carpet together. Miss Writer hugged Shad’s arm with a peaceful smile on her face with light makeup:

"What's weird?"

"I've known you all for nearly a year, and I've never heard of any of you having a birthday."

"We don't even want to tell you our birthdays, do we?"

Dorothy Louisa looked around at the guests who came to attend the banquet, and then looked down at the red carpet:

"After the age of eighteen, people are usually not willing to take the initiative to celebrate birthdays. Besides, we are all...slightly older than you, so how can we take the initiative to celebrate birthdays? Oh, my knight, you Don’t you understand? I tell the girl every birthday..."

She touched her face with pity:

"The years of youth are another step away, and those beautiful, wonderful, gorgeous, and fascinating things are away from us for another year. Although this does not mean that we will refuse the flow of time, at least I won’t take the initiative to go to a birthday celebration, which is a helpless matter. ”

This way of speaking is quite Dorothy-like.

"You should at least tell me and buy a small cake at home to celebrate?"

Xia De said, regretting that he could not bring little Mia with him.

"What about your birthday?"

Dorothy transfer

Changing the subject, I made up my mind that I would never take the initiative to celebrate my birthday in front of Sha De.

"My birthday? The information provided by the school did not record the detailed date of my birth. It just said that it was summer. Therefore, I plan to record the day when I met the doctor, which is the day that Uncle Sparrow passed away. , that day when the silver moon shines as my birthday."

Dorothy wrote down that day, which was Saturday, the 22nd of the Sunshine Month in June.

As the host of the birthday party, the little princess Agelina dressed up at the entrance of the banquet hall, greeted the visiting guests, and accepted people's gifts. Miss Carina didn't like to interact with too many people, so she arrived early and chatted with familiar local ladies in the lounge upstairs. Behind Shade, the valets of Yodel Palace escorted a cart containing a slender wooden box, following Shade and Dorothy step by step.

There is a bow on the box, which is obviously a gift for Princess Agelina. People who saw the box were curious about what it was, and this question was answered at the door of the banquet hall.

"Good evening, Your Highness Agelina."

"Good evening, Lord Hamilton of Ray Jade, good evening, Miss Louisa."

The little princess responded to Shade's greetings appropriately, and then looked behind him curiously

"Excuse me, is this..."

"My birthday gift to you is an art statue that I bought at a high price. I hope you like it."

Shad smiled and introduced that it was very impolite to open a gift in front of the guests, so Agelina just accepted it with a smile instead of looking at it on the spot.

Then, she took the gift box with the gold bookmark from Dorothy. When she looked at Dorothy, Agelina clearly felt that she was instinctively afraid, but she didn’t know why. What——she didn’t know all the secrets of Dorothy and Lesia.

Shadden didn't want to stay at the door for too long, so after saying hello, he took Dorothy to find Lesia. Unexpectedly, at this time, a young man with brown hair wearing a red officer's uniform of the Royal Army and black boots strode over.

Shad had seen that face not long ago. It was one of Larousse III's favorite marriage partners, Mr. Daniel Philip, the eldest son of Marquis Philip.
