The Whispering Verses Chapter 1769: Blessings
So when Miss Carina finished her speech, Shade temporarily left the banquet hall with the excuse of going to the bathroom amid applause. Meghan originally wanted to wait until Shade came back, then take him to see the Duchess and introduce each other in the banquet hall. Even the witch would not make a move. But as soon as Shade left the door, Tifa came over with a smile:
"Miss Green, Duke Carina invited you to talk there. Do you have time?"
This was an invitation from the Duke. Of course Meghan could not refuse, so she had no choice but to follow the witch apprentice with the best figure she had ever seen in the parliament and leave the place where the merchants gathered.
Miss Carina did not return to the lounge, but took a seat in the sofa seating area in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the banquet hall. She was surrounded by women, including Agelina, other noble ladies and noble ladies.
"Look who's here."
She took the initiative to welcome Meghan and enthusiastically asked Meghan to sit next to Agelina:
"The last time I saw Ms. Green from Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals was at the Opera House in Tobesk four years ago. Although I have been thinking about you since then, I never had the chance to see you again. Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals has been in Delray these years The development of Ang is very good. Maybe we can contact more in the future. The kingdom needs businessmen like you. A prosperous economy cannot only rely on its own people."
Before the scandal with "Rejed's Hamilton" spread, Miss Carina had always been suspected of having a certain tendency, so it was not out of the ordinary to say such overly enthusiastic words.
Megan also responded according to etiquette:
"It is a real honor for the Duke to always remember me. Please allow me to express my gratitude for the invitation tonight. It was a wonderful banquet."
The red-haired witch sat relaxedly on the sofa, with the corners of her mouth raised, and the smile in her golden eyes that only Tifa and Agelina could understand:
"Enjoy this banquet, you will like it here even more in a while."
She took the initiative to let Megan join in their conversation, and then naturally talked about their respective male companions tonight. Miss Carina gave Agelina a look, so the little princess said:
"I didn't bring a male companion. Before setting off from Tobesk, my mother told Aunt Carina to take care of me."
The ladies all laughed, and Miss Carina also smiled and said:
"Actually, a seventeen-year-old princess is not too young. If you like any young gentleman at this banquet, you can invite him to dance later. I won't tell Diana."
Agelina's face turned red:
"Yesterday I followed my aunt to the city hall. I did meet a very polite gentleman in the corridor of the city hall. Oh, he is from Delrayon, blond, tall, well-proportioned, and gentle. , wearing a black coat and carrying a cat..."
Meghan was stunned for a moment, then picked up the wine glass to cover her expression.
"Didn't you ask for the other party's identity?"
Miss Carina asked again with great concern, Agelina nodded gently:
"He didn't say his name, but he said that he would also attend today's banquet. I didn't have a crush on him, I just felt that this gentleman was very nice, and his conversation and behavior were different from ordinary people... ...Why don't I find him now?"
As he said that, he stood up. Megan hesitated and didn’t know what to do at this time. She didn't know who Agelina Cavendish was seeing, but she subconsciously felt that it was her male companion.
Before she formally introduced Shade to Miss Carina, she felt it was best not to let the "strange man" see the duchess. She must first prepare for the balanced witch.
With an idea in mind, he watched Agelina leave with her maid. She waited patiently for a while, and then signaled to Miss Carina that they could talk alone.
So before Agelina came back, Miss Carina and Megan came to the corridor outside the bustling banquet hall. The corridor illuminated by gas lights is covered with yellow wallpaper, antique oil paintings on the walls and red carpets on the floor, making the place look even more luxurious.
"My party looks good, doesn't it?"
The red-haired witch wearing a gorgeous red dress said with a smile:
"It's just a pity that there are men present. It would be better if all the people who came to participate were beautiful girls."
Megan was secretly frightened, knowing that the other party was a traditional witch, but she remained calm. She thought she could handle this matter well:
"You haven't changed at all, but I admit that this banquet is very good."
"So what are you going to do with me alone?"
Miss Carina brushed the lock of hair specially left beside her ear with her hand, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"There are very important guests at this banquet. I can't leave for too long. Besides, I will introduce you to an important person soon."
Meghan felt that her words were said by others:
"Who? The rumored Hamilton? I thought she was someone you asked your maid, Miss Servit, to pretend to be to deal with your marriage problems. What, does that Miss Hamilton really exist? ”
Because the great witches in the past often asked girls to dress up as men to avoid some things that had to be faced in social life, so she had no suspicion at all.
The duchess with gorgeous long red hair nodded slightly and made a shy expression:
"Yes, she is indeed a girl, a girl who is very, very, very in line with my heart. She looks very good. Although her level is not as high as mine, she is still very powerful. The most important thing is that her thoughts and life His outlook is very consistent with mine, and he also supports my career... He is also very powerful in that aspect. I think this is my lifelong partner."
Meghan, who was originally thinking about her own affairs, raised her eyebrows, but she did not expect to hear such important news:
"It's really hard to believe someone like you when you say 'life partner'. After all, it's common for nobles to have multiple lovers... But I still wish you the best. I can meet that one later." Girl, I'm curious about how good the other person is... I wish you happiness, Carina."
The brown-haired girl said seriously, which made Miss Carina feel a little uneasy, but this hesitation only lasted for a moment:
"Thank you. I hope you can praise me a few more words in front of her later. You will also be shocked by her appearance. Oh, what were you going to say just now?"
The witch, who had already dug the trap, once again brought the topic back to its original direction.
"I also want you to meet someone, the person I choose. I...he, I mean her, yes, she is special, I hope you can prepare in advance."
Megan's expression is very serious, and the smile on the red-haired witch's face remains unchanged:
"So did that happen between you and her?"
Megan opened her mouth and blinked:
"Of course not, how could I be so uncertain and...I mean, why do you care so much about this kind of problem?"
“Because the connection between the soul and the body together constitute the sweetest part of love.”
Miss Carina said seriously, her statement is consistent with the views of believers in the God of Love:
"What do you mean by that sentence? Oh, the farthest distance in the world is when you are in front of me, but you don't let me touch you."
Meghan, who had a serious expression at first, almost coughed:
"Are you reading some unhealthy book? But you are still the same as before."
She took a deep breath, trying to get back the feeling she had just now when she said things were serious:
"I am serious, she is really special, different from everyone you have met before. I hope that after you meet, no matter what happens, you will listen carefully to what I say before doing anything Decision. Carina, can you promise me?"
The two people's faces were very close at this time, and their two pairs of golden eyes showed completely different emotions.
The Duchess made a surprised expression:
"What's your expression? I just agree. What, are you worried that I will fall in love with your girl?"
Meghan made an ugly smile:
"Like...if you really like the person I brought over by then, I won't object."
The red-haired witch tried hard not to laugh:
"This is what you said, ahem, I mean, then it's settled. Oh, don't leave after the banquet, let's discuss things here in Green Lake. Your state today is better than the night before yesterday. Everything was fine yesterday. Speaking of which, what did you do? It’s as if your swinging balance was suddenly brought to the perfect balance by an external force. I don’t think it will take long for you to improve again, right?" /
Megan nodded:
"Yes, this is all thanks to her. I will explain to you later, that is a really powerful person."
"Okay...eh? Where did little Agelina go? Why hasn't she come back for so long?"
Miss Carina muttered to herself, then called Tifa who was waiting aside and asked her to ask about the situation.
"Yes, ma'am."
So Tifa led the two maids around the corner of the corridor, but did not continue forward. The maids counted ten numbers together and then walked back:
"Miss, Her Royal Highness Agelina is over there."
She pointed in a direction, so Miss Carina called Megan and motioned for her to go with her to call Agelina back.
Of course Megan has not forgotten that the man described by the little princess just now seemed to be her male companion, so she followed him suspiciously.
After walking around the corner of the corridor, you will find the corridor on the east side of the second floor of Rose Manor. This corridor is very short, with rooms on both sides, and only two large windows at the end.
When the group of people came here, they happened to see the window open, and the night wind and moonlight broke into the corridor together. The blue hand-embroidered curtains fluttered up and down in the night wind, and within the curtains, two figures hugging each other and kissing could be vaguely seen.
"Ahem."
Miss Carina suddenly coughed, so before Megan could see the figure that was obviously male, Agelina pushed the figure, and the figure quickly disappeared under the cover of the flying curtains. , ran towards the corridor on the other side.
