The Whispering Verses Chapter 336: Shadow’s gift


After leaving the pirate ship, except for the fact that he still felt hungry, Shade’s body and mind returned to normal within a few dozen minutes. But even if Miss Princess had the fourth wish and the cure at the end of the mystery chain, she could not recover so quickly. In addition, she had been swimming non-stop in the water for such a long time. This five-ring sorceress Although he looks strong, he is actually almost unable to hold on.

The people on the boat spotted the floating plank and the two people swimming over in time, and the two sides quickly reunited.

The maid on the boat stretched out her hand to pull Miss Princes up, but the sorceress was already a little weak. Shade could only lift her up in the water first, and then climbed onto the boat.

Immediately someone handed him a dry towel and blanket, and with a dull sound, the small steam engine located at the stern of the ship began to operate. The fire heats the air around it as the boatman adds more small pieces of compressed charcoal. Bursts of black smoke melted into the night, and the ship moved on the sea, relying on a small steam engine as power, and took the group of people away quickly.

Steam engines used in small ships are also a unique product developed by the steam industry in this world. This kind of brass machinery, which requires expensive compressed charcoal, has not yet been widely used because of its high cost and complicated maintenance. Shade had only seen relevant news in newspapers, but he didn’t expect to see this thing here.

The cost of building this kind of steam engine is that just one steam engine can probably produce hundreds of little Mias.

Thinking of this, Shade missed his cat extremely, and missed the warm four-poster bed and quilt at home.

In addition to Shade and Miss Princes, there were four other people on the boat. Two of them were dressed as maids, the older one was about thirty years old, and the younger one was about the same age as Miss Prince. The other two, one was an old boatman who was busy maneuvering the boat, and the other had a resolute expression and looked like a middle-aged man with military background. He held a gun in his hand and looked at the warships surrounding the cruise ship in the distance. Because they were too far away, even if those ships had their lights on, they were not clear in the dark.

“Your Highness, Your Highness~”

Miss Princess was supported by the older maid, a blanket wrapped around her body, and the younger maid was trying to give her water.

“She’s injured, I’ll come.”

Shad wiped his hair and moved over. The maids didn’t know whether to believe him, but Miss Prince’s somewhat white lips moved, spit out the leaves in her mouth, and then whispered:

“Let Shade come over.”

Taking the water glass, Shade tapped it gently to let the silver aura emerge, and then drank a little half of it himself.

He was really hungry. Although his hunger dropped significantly after leaving the pirate ship, so he didn’t drink sea water just now, but now he always feels uncomfortable both mentally and physically if he doesn’t eat anything.

The two maids looked at the “bold” Shade with some blame. Shade didn’t pay attention to them. Miss Princes’s body was not injured too much, and she always had the [Eternal Youth Leaf] in her mouth. It’s just that the mental trauma is severe, so there is no need to eat to fill up.

“Don’t speak yet.”

Xia De whispered, and after reciting the incantation softly, a layer of silver moon light appeared on his palm. This is [Scindia’s Silver Moon Gift], which is specially used to treat mental damage at night.

Carefully placed her hand on Miss Prince’s forehead. In the slightly awed eyes of others on the boat, the red-haired girl finally couldn’t restrain her sleepiness and fell asleep.

She is different from Shade. After staying in the bottom cabin for so long, even if she just stood still, her spirit has been greatly affected. Coupled with the food she has eaten, she can survive until now. It shows that her mental power is also extremely strong. At this moment, she was clinging to Sha De. After the physical and mental trauma were erased one by one, she finally fell asleep uncontrollably.

When Miss Princes woke up again, she could already see the docks of Coldwater Port City in the distance. The familiar firelight of civilization made the princess who had just experienced the adventure dissipate a lot of the depressed feeling in her heart.

She was covered with a blanket, and what she saw when she opened her eyes was the vast and bright galaxy above her head. I felt the sea breeze, felt the rocking ship, heard the sound of the waves, and then I realized whose arms I was leaning on, and then I felt it was very soft. When he got up, he saw that it was his maid.

The boat has entered the harbor area. The boatman held up the kerosene lamp and shook it. The inspection boat that received the signal immediately avoided it. But looking around, there was no Shade on the boat. She wrapped the blanket around her body and raised her hand to signal the maids not to worry. After a good night’s sleep, she felt much better.

“Where did Shade go?”

The look on her face was serious and her tone was a little cold. It wasn’t that she was angry at Shade for leaving, but she was used to acting like this in front of her servants.

Stand up and look at the cold water port city in the night. Although it was already late at night, the harbor was still illuminated by gas lamps, and the shadows of ships and buildings could not obscure the light of civilization. The cold water port city under the sea of ​​stars was extremely shocking at this moment.

“Your Highness, that gentleman jumped into the sea and left five minutes ago. He said that he would get off the boat from that side, which is closer to the direction he went back to. He also said that he would come to see you on Wednesday the day after tomorrow.”

The older maid said softly.

The sea breeze blew the young girl’s hair, and the long hair dyed golden through the magic potion has completely returned to the unique red color of the royal family.

The color of the lipstick has long faded in the water, the slightly pale lips moved, and the green eyes looked towards the harbor:

“What else did he say?”

The boatman lowered his head and steered the boat with the middle-aged man. The two maids looked at each other, and finally the older maid lowered her head and said:

“He said, ask His Highness to help renew the room in the name of John Watson at the Golden Rose Hotel on Hoglenz Avenue, and meet at the door of the hotel on Wednesday morning. He asked you to send someone to return the information about the ceremony to the He informed the church about the evil **** and tried to hide his actions… He has to attend the Holy Prayer Festival tomorrow, so he has no time to come.”

Taking a deep breath, Her Royal Highness couldn’t help but shake her head:

“It really suits his character, Shade…”

It could be seen that the older maid was hesitating, but she still said the last words:

“The gentleman said that he knows who you are. Also, he had a great time today and left a gift for you…”

The princess turned and looked at her slightly surprised:

“A gift? I gave him the clothes he wore. What kind of gift can he have?”

The two men on the boat desperately wished they were not here at this moment.

The maid lowered her head, carefully took out a small box from the front pocket of her skirt, and whispered:

“The gentleman said that he bought a shell bracelet for a friend in a souvenir shop (note), and bought this for you. I originally wanted to give it to you after the tour guide mission is over, as a commemoration of the two strangers. Urban Encounter. You said you liked this,…”

The maid was a little afraid to look at the princess, but Lecia Cavendish took the box, opened it with a snap, and saw mermaid-shaped ruby ​​earrings inside.

“He…”

Taking that earring, I thought of the exciting encounter in the alley at noon, the gambling cards in the tavern, the chatting on the roadside at the pier, the sunset at the lighthouse on the seaside, and the story of the sea breeze. , thinking of the dance on the deck at night, thinking of each other looking at each other in the cold cabin, thinking of…

The long red hair was swaying slightly in the wind, her eyes were slightly narrowed, dimples appeared on her fair face, and the corners of her mouth were raised.

She held her earrings tightly and stood on the boat looking towards the cold water port not far away. There was a blanket draped over her body, and although the dress that had not yet dried was clinging to her body, it was very uncomfortable, but Lecia Cavendish, the sorceress of Zalas Literary Academy, the third princess of the empire, the red rose of Tobesk, Luo Si’er’s eternal guardian is in a very good mood at the moment:

“Dorothy, at least this time, I admit that you have really good taste. However, when I fell asleep just now, I didn’t ask you to come over and replace me temporarily. You shouldn’t be angry.”

The ship sailed quietly into the brightly lit Coldwater Harbor. Although it encountered danger, for Her Royal Highness, this was indeed a “Coldwater Harbor Holiday” worth remembering for a lifetime.

In particular, this romantic story that she experienced personally is not a tragedy that she hates (note).
