The Whispering Verses Chapter 1536: Three Cavendish
"The knight did not mean to neglect the noble baroness. It was because the knight was seriously ill." LAN
Xia De explained his actions very seriously. The knife in his hand was covered with silver light. With a slight stroke, the veal steak in sauce on the dinner plate was divided into two parts. Shade gave the smaller portion to Mia, and kept the remaining nine-tenths in front of himself:
"Actually, the loyal knight also misses the duke to whom he is loyal. He just doesn't know when he will be lucky enough to visit the duke's most precious treasure again."
Miss Carina thought for a moment before she understood what "treasure" meant. The blush on her face became more obvious, her red lips pursed, and her embarrassed but charming smile made her look even more gorgeous.
"How was tonight?"
Xia De then took the initiative to propose an invitation, and the words of agreement were almost blurted out by the red-haired witch. She warned herself to be more reserved, but more than a week of "snubbing" made her unable to refuse neatly:
"Your illness is not cured yet."
She pointed out this point softly, but her tone of voice seemed to be looking for some excuse. She looked into Shade's eyes as if she spoke her thoughts directly. Lan
Tifa winked at Shade behind Miss Carina, signaling Shade not to give up.
"Duke, are you doubting my health and body?"
Xia De asked, Miss Carina looked at him with her lips pursed. The maids serving around them didn’t know what happened under the table during the short pause:
"My grand-niece praised you. When the female fortune teller and I talked privately, she also said that the basic skills of knights are very solid. Since you think your illness has been cured, tonight... .."
The golden eyes seemed to be able to convey the emotions of the soul, and Shade really understood the affection in the eyes.
"Knight, is your baby really as comfortable as they say?"
(Little Mia is running...) Lan
On Sunday morning, Shade sat alone at the dining table at home and read the Tobesk Morning News, while the maids were busy in the kitchen making breakfast. The ingredients were delivered directly from Carina Manor this morning, and Tifa cooked the food herself, wanting to give Shadro a hand before the maids left No. 6 St. Teresa Square together.
After waking up this morning, they knew that Shade probably wouldn't let them stay here anymore. Because judging from the movement coming from the master bedroom on the second floor last night, Shade's body has indeed fully recovered.
[Outlander, you have completely swallowed up the ‘twisted filth of the roots of the earth’. 】
[Your body is comprehensively enhanced (including the impact resistance of internal organs and organ function level), and the recovery speed and total amount of spirit are enhanced. You can now choose to be immune to any form of 'petrification'. The effects of the thaumaturgic spells you cast related to curses, shadows, epidemics, and the earth are greatly enhanced. 】
"She" whispered a reminder in his ear, symbolizing the complete end of Shade's "serious illness".
He listened to these contents and looked at the news about the next industrial expo in the newspaper in his hand:
"I thought there would be at least a brand new spiritual rune, or a new thaumaturgy. Even if I swallowed such a high-level thing, wouldn't it allow me to obtain the 'earth' spiritual rune?" Lan
Although he knew that such an idea was greedy, Shade was still a little disappointed.
"She" chuckled in Shade's ear:
"No, actually I understand what kind of abilities this power gives me."
Xia De looked sideways in the direction of the bedroom. After getting up this morning, he felt that his body had completely recovered. But the specific time for complete recovery seems to be midnight yesterday:
"Isn't it a coincidence? Before I got sick, I made out with the witch...and when I recovered from my illness, I also made out with the witch."
He thought to himself. Lan
[At least for now, the witch's power cannot interfere with you in any way. 】
The sound of bells suddenly rang from downstairs. Before Shade got up, the maid had already gone downstairs. Shade closed his eyes, and the passive effect of the thaumaturgy [Heart of Stone] appeared. In his "dark vision", the source of countless "heart beatings" echoing on the streets was very similar, but the moving heartbeats on the stairs, and The heartbeat at the door was extremely clear.
"There are four people at the door."
Xia De said, after closing the newspaper, he heard footsteps entering the building. Since the maid let them in without asking Shade whether to let strangers in, the visitors must be acquaintances.
Sure enough, Lesia gave Shade a warm hug as soon as she appeared:
"I feel relieved to see you in such good spirits. Shade, I wish you good health."
"Lecia, why are you here so early?"
"Of course I came to see you. Although I heard from Dorothy yesterday that you were almost well, I didn't expect that your condition was really so good."
"This disease comes and goes quickly."
Shad said with a smile, and then said hello to Agelina behind Lesia:
"Good morning, Your Highness Agelina."
"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton."
The little princess lifted the hem of her skirt and greeted her like a lady.
After Lecia let go of Shade, she looked in the direction of the kitchen again, and then asked with some dissatisfaction: Lan
"Where is Carina? Wasn't she here to take care of you yesterday? Why is there only her maid, so early, where has she been?"
"Still resting."
Shad pointed in the direction of the bedroom, Lecia understood immediately, patted Shad's arm lightly, and said in a reproachful tone:
"Really, doesn't she know that your illness is just right? What is this, using yourself to check whether you have fully recovered?"
The little princess behind Lesia was stunned for a moment before she understood. She tried hard to hide her surprised expression. No one had ever said before that Shade had become a relative of the Cavendish family again:
"Mr. Hamilton, this is..."
"Our great-aunt did something very bold." LAN
Lecia said casually, and the seventeen-year-old princess nodded gently and looked at Shade quietly.
Of course she felt quite uncomfortable inside, but compared to her sister, she was more afraid and awe of Miss Carina, whom she did not see often. Although there are mixed feelings in my heart at this time, even if I analyze it with a pie chart taught by the royal family's math teacher, I can't explain all the feelings clearly. But she knew that what she was most worried about was the knight's feelings:
"The age gap between Mr. Hamilton and my aunt is so big... He probably feels very awkward or even disgusted. Is it true that the Duchess is amazing... He is so young, So strong, but forced to fight..."
The heartache, distortion and indescribable joy that almost tore apart the soul are more clear and obvious than before.
Xia De looked at Agelina in surprise, who closed her eyes and took a deep breath. He felt that for a moment, the little princess actually felt like a ring warlock in his perception. But it was only for a moment, which meant that she was only one step away from truly awakening her talent.
Today it was originally Lecia or Dorothy's turn to take care of the sick Shad, but now that Shad's illness has recovered, there is no need to send someone to take care of his life.
So Shade had breakfast with the three Cavendish ladies, and they left together. The witch was not embarrassed to see the younger girls of her family at the dinner table, and Lesia was not unhappy about it either. Lan
While Shade informed them and paid attention to Agelina's talent awakening, Lesia also repeatedly reminded Shade about the spring riding competition around the city, asking him to remember to sign up and win. See Get up to prepare some activities at the banquet after the game.
Being in bed for nearly two weeks really delayed Shade's many things.
But fortunately, he doesn't need to clean up the house. Except for the "spring cat cleaning" that has not been planned yet, there are no other household chores for Shade to worry about. Therefore, after confirming that Mia did not want to go out, Shade went to Fort Midhill alone through the basement, and then went from the local Snake Heart Hospital to the sacrificial site on the top of the mountains.
Shadow did not make an appointment in advance for this visit, but Sister Devlin seemed to know that he would come today. She actually stood at the end of the stone steps of the sacrificial site hidden by the gray stone ruins, waiting for Shad.
"Good morning, nun!"
He smiled and waved hello, and the blind nun folded her hands in front of her and nodded slightly in response. The snow on the top of the mountain has not melted yet, and the nun standing in the snow looks more peaceful than usual.
The sun shone on her crown-like silver eye mask, revealing those ancient and mysterious patterns, and also made the fair skin of her cheeks look even more bloodless than before. Shade was happy to find that the cracks on Sister Devlin's eyepatch had disappeared and the gap on the side had been filled. Lan
"There is still a part of mithril left."
As if she "saw" Shade staring at her blindfold, the gray-haired nun said softly. Then, she made way for the entrance to the sacrificial site and welcomed Shade in.
After repairing Sister Devlin's eyepatch, the remaining mithril was recast by the craftsmen of the [Spiritual Order] into mithril cubes, but the size was only the size of a dice. Of course, there is already a lot of mithril left, because this is solid metal, and the original metal cube has a hollow center.
In order to make it easier for Shade to carry it, the six sides of the small mithril cube were actually marked with dice points. At this time, the cube still retains the ability to "reveal the story of Randall Valley", but the sensitivity is worse than before.
But fortunately, the story of Randall Valley is also over.
And Shade came to visit the nun today not just to see how much of his mithril was left. He came here this time to ask the nun for help about the "Moon Dream" learning method.
