The Whispering Verses Chapter 421: Lesia’s ambition
"I got some information about the chosen one at Cold Water Port, but I didn't tell Miss Jalina. Instead, I was forced to tell Ms. Sivi Avora."
Xia De admitted honestly.
"I heard from the lady that the witch gave you a high evaluation."
The maid said with a smile.
"Oh, I did help her, so what?"
"Your information was obtained in Cold Water Port and you failed to tell the lady in time, which she can understand. What really makes her a little angry is that Ms. Sivi Avora actually took the initiative to contact you, and you returned it to her Made a very good impression."
Xia De tilted his head from behind the newspaper and looked at the maid sitting across from him suspiciously. The maid smiled and told Shade a very unfortunate news:
"Mr. Hamilton, your existence is equivalent to a direct challenge to the ever-existing rules of the witch's curse. For such a secret, Miss hopes that only she knows. But now, because of your risky actions, another witch also knows She believed that other witches had stolen her secrets and treasures."
"Yeah"
Xia De did not expect that the red-haired duchess would think this way. But if you think about it carefully, if he knew a secret, he would probably want to keep it to himself.
"Miss Servit, is there anything that Miss Carina likes? I think maybe I can bring some gifts for this visit."
Even when the maid smiles, she can still maintain her elegant look:
"There are many things that Miss likes, but you probably can't come up with them."
"How about this?"
Xia De thought for a moment, took out the handkerchief, and then put his hand into the inner pocket of his coat. Then, he took out a milky-white pearl that was more than half the size of his fist from his clothes. The divinity stored inside the pearl was perfectly absorbed by Shade. Unlike dolls made by gods to store divinity, the pearl was a real object, so it was preserved, but unfortunately the volume was reduced by half, and it could not be stored again. Divine.
The smile on the black-haired maid's face disappeared. She stretched her head slightly, widened her eyes and looked at the treasure held by Shade in surprise:
"Oh~"
A groan-like exclamation came from her mouth. Although Ms. Tifa Servitt was well-informed and was a ring magician herself, no woman would be able to refuse such jewelry.
In fact, men probably can't refuse.
Shade was holding this pearl. When she saw Miss Carina in the manor's study, the duchess originally wanted to raise her head and say something, but when she saw what he was holding, she put down the pen in surprise:
"Although I have thought that one day you will give me gifts such as jewelry, is this too exaggerated? There are pearls bigger than this in my collection, but one as round as yours is really Where did this come from when I first saw it? ”
"I picked it up in Coldwater Port. I also went into the sea early yesterday morning. After the ancient ruins of the fishmen collapsed, all kinds of messy things fell down. Now the Orthodox Church of the Lenghwater Port Diocese is still searching the entire sea area for abnormal objects. ”
Shade handed the pearl to Miss Carina. After the latter took it, she seemed to like it very much, but after looking at it, she handed it to Shade again:
"Instead of giving it to me, why don't you keep it for yourself. Recently, you will have the opportunity to use this thing. Don't sell it at home. Wait until I give you a reminder before you give it away."
"To whom?"
Shade wrapped the handkerchief around the pearl, turned it back into a toy and threw it into his pocket.
"Queen Diana, her birthday is at the end of this month."
Miss Carina handed the signed document to the secretary, and the secretary sent the document out. She closed the cap of the pen and looked at Shade:
"There will probably be several political incidents in Tobesk recently."
The Duchess frowned slightly, not knowing what she was thinking of:
"Shad, when the time is right, I will let you give this gift to Queen Diana. Although you have no intention of participating in politics, the next turmoil will inevitably affect you. After all, you saved Queen Diana. , sometimes people will hate you if you do the right thing. Moreover, Queen Diana will bring greater benefits to your life in Tobesk."
"But I have you."
Shad joked, Tifa standing behind Miss Carina smiled, and the witch also looked very happy:
"But after all, I am the Duchess of Saladir, not the Duchess of Tobesk. Queen Diana has more influence in this country than me. And the turmoil in Tobesk in the next few weeks , you should understand that it’s not convenient for me to interfere.”
Standing up and walking towards the sofa, Shade also stood up and changed places:
"I heard from Ms. Aurora that the murderer behind the murder of the queen has been found? It's Saxe Cavendish."
Xia De asked tentatively, Miss Carina nodded:
"Yes, MI6 finally played some role this time. As the powerful duchess, I cannot easily interfere in this matter."
"Because it has something to do with the succession of the throne?"
The corners of Miss Carina's mouth curved into a moving arc:
"It's good that you thought about it. I didn't expect you to be so sensitive to politics. I won't talk about too many political topics. Let's talk about the matter of Cold Water Port. I have already discussed the matter between you and Sivi Avrola. I heard from her that she stole the show in the parliament this time."
Pick up the teacup and look at Shade:
"When I wrote to you, I was indeed a little angry, but it doesn't matter if I think about it carefully. I am not a stingy person."
This statement is different from Tifa's statement. Shade looked sideways at the maid standing behind the duchess. The black-haired maid looked straight in the direction of the door, not looking at Shade.
"But there is a question I want to confirm. The so-called 'God Caller', is it you who has used the power used in Lakeview Manor again, or is it the thirteen-ring warlock who has really recovered from his serious injury. This It is very important for the next arrangements of the Parliament.”
"It wasn't me. I was washed to the bottom of the sea by the tide."
Xia De has already thought about this problem. There is no need for him to admit that he did it. In this way, the next time they are forced to use their divinity, people will take it for granted that the "god caller" has recovered, so it is not a problem to call the **** again.
Miss Carina thought for a moment:
"That's a bit troublesome. Although there is more than one thirteen-ring warlock with an unknown identity, this one can summon gods. The first time there may be a second time. What is it in the fish-man temple? Something that can heal injuries caused by calling on gods?"
Xia De was careful not to speak and looked at the afternoon tea snacks on the coffee table. There are no icing pancakes that Lesia used to entertain him here. They are a delicacy in Coldwater Port, and the afternoon tea in the Royal Capital is more popular for sweet desserts with exquisite shapes.
While Shade was thinking about the taste of snacks, Miss Carina asked an unexpected question:
"Shad, what is your relationship with my grandniece Lesia?"
"What?"
Xia De was stunned, and the witch leaned on the back of the sofa and said with a smile:
"Don't say you are just friends. Xiwei told me that you were caught hiding in the closet of Lesia's lounge and you were still wearing a garter?"
"No, it's nepotism, and I can explain it."
"Lesiya is Zalas's ring sorcerer, I know this. If she hadn't been discovered earlier, I would have wanted her to become a witch. Shade, I don't care how you met her, You must be careful about any relationship you plan to develop in the future, she is a very ambitious woman."
This was the first time Shade heard someone commenting on Lesia like this.
"Ambition? Does Lesia want to be crowned as Her Majesty the Queen of Delarion?"
Xia De joked:
"Where does she have this kind of time? Attending meetings, giving speeches, touring the country, even with a staff team, Lesia does not have that much time. Unless she is willing to give up her identity as a ring magician, but how is this possible?"
"Of course I won't give up."
Miss Carina carefully organized her words. She squinted at Shade's confused face:
"She doesn't have time to be the queen, but others have time, and my nephew Larousse III has quite a few children. It's not difficult to find a few who are willing to listen to her. Lei. Ziya doesn’t need to be a queen to still gain power.”
Shad immediately understood what she meant, and he looked at Carina Cavendish in surprise:
"You want to say that Lesiya wants to support"
The witch stretched out her slender fingers and made a silencing gesture in front of her mouth to tell Shade to stop talking:
"I have no idea about that position, and I am too lazy to interfere in the succession of the kingdom, so don't say this kind of thing in front of me. If you are interested in this, you should ask Lesia about your relationship with her. Isn’t it great?”
Her right hand was by her ear, twirling her red hair, her tone full of ridicule.
Xia De nodded. He didn't expect the red-haired girl to have such great ambitions.
The Witch Council is still tracking Darkness. Although it is extremely difficult to divine the chosen one, with the help of that boot, the Council at least confirmed that the other party did not go to the New World, but moved inland from the west coast.
New information will have to wait for a while, but there is no way Darkness can come to Tobesk without exposing his traces. Miss Carina did not expect the possibility of him coming to Tobesk, and Shade did not say anything. The witch should know about this "surprise" within half a month.
Farewell to Miss Carina, the carriage took Shade into the city. It was only four o'clock in the afternoon when he returned home. Shade took Nekomata to the Prophet's Association to find Luvia, wanting to talk about Coldwater Port and the escaped Darkness.
It's just an unfortunate coincidence that Luvia is not in the association this time, but she should be back before evening.
Since there was nothing else to do today, Shade wanted to check out the latest Rhodes decks in the association and inquire about the big city players next month. But when he turned around and put the cat on his shoulder, he saw Vice President Mark and Mr. Addis Stein, the president of the Tobesk branch, getting off the carriage and entering the door.
"Now something has happened."
Xia De greeted him.
