The Whispering Verses Chapter 499: With Lesia

It seems that Miss Carina not only dislikes such a banquet, but also has other things to worry about today.

Miss Carina was very sensitive and noticed Shade's gaze in the crowd below. She shook her head at Shade imperceptibly, not knowing what she wanted to express.

Without giving a speech on the stairs, Queen Diana, surrounded by the Cavendish princesses, princes and ladies, followed the cleared passage from the stairs to the grand hall on the second floor amidst the sound of music. Terrace. Standing here, not only the guests on the second floor and the guests in the courtyard, but also the pedestrians on Silver Cross Avenue and the people on the second and third floors nearby such as St. Teresa Square can see her.

This terrace itself is the place where the king delivers a formal speech to all the people.

Because there were so many people, Shade did not try to join in the fun and squeezed to the front to watch Queen Diana's speech. He supported Dorothy and carefully sat back on the sofa. When Lesia followed the queen to the second floor and entered the terrace, Dorothy almost fell forward on Shade.

"Really, you shouldn't have come to this banquet even if you knew this would happen."

Shad asked Dorothy to sit down. He originally wanted to use [Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift] for treatment, but Dorothy waved her hand and refused;

"It's okay."

Her forehead was covered with sweat, her face was very pale, and her voice was almost completely obscured by the queen's amplified voice using a loudspeaker.

"I just felt a little uncomfortable at that moment. I thought the distance was far enough."

She didn't lie, her complexion was indeed recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. But there was still sweat on his forehead, and his slender golden hair on his temples was deliberately left untied, sticking to his cheeks due to sweat.

"Is everything okay over there, Lesia?"

Shad was even more worried about Lesia suddenly falling down in front of everyone.

"It doesn't matter, she took the painkillers in advance."

"What?"

Shadow frowned in surprise, but Dorothy pursed her lips and shook her head:

"That's the only way it can be. There's nothing we can do about it. As long as we don't get close, this kind of thing won't happen. I'm afraid we won't be able to really look at each other in our lifetime."

Fortunately, Dorothy's writer friends stood on tiptoes at the back of the crowd, trying to see directly Queen Diana who was giving a speech, so Dorothy's abnormality was not seen by too many people.

After the queen finished her speech, the lively banquet officially began. Queen Diana did not leave, but accepted interviews from reporters and chatted with acquaintances of the ladies. The young princes and princesses of the Cavendish family also chose to do their own things. Shade counted carefully, and there were more than ten children of the king who appeared today.

The reproductive ability of Larus III is really the strongest among all previous kings.

Marquis Grassley quickly asked the servants to come over and asked Shade to join them at the gambling table by the wall on the second floor. But before Shade and Dorothy's writer friends could say goodbye, another maid came from the third floor. It was Miss Carina who asked Shade to go up.

So I could only bid farewell to Dorothy temporarily, and asked the servant to apologize to Marquis Grassley, who would probably be late.

When I saw Miss Carina on the third floor, the duchess, who was dressed especially beautifully tonight, looked a little troubled. She asked Tifa to make sure no one was eavesdropping outside the door, and then whispered a slightly shocking fact to Shade:

"At this banquet, there is a thirteen-ring warlock."

"What?"

"Don't worry, it's the thirteen-ringed warlock of the church, Sari Pilot, the 'Iron Right Hand' who created the church."

Miss Carina sat in front of the dressing table, the chair facing Shade, frowning slightly unhappy, but with the red ball gown trailing on the carpet and the shining hair accessories on her hair, this made her She looks even more beautiful:

"I only heard about this at 7:40. The Iron Right Hand was originally stationed outside the [Dark Territory], and only returned to the city temporarily after changing shifts with the 'Sunshine Sword' in the past few days. Yes. The invitation sent to him by Queen Diana was quite unexpected. The royal family rarely invites high-level ring magicians from the Orthodox Church."

"What does the Queen invite this gentleman to do?"

"It's just a simple invitation. It's normal to send invitations to famous people in the city on your birthday. But my nephew, Larousse III, was a little angry because of this. He was originally going to He showed up just now, but did not show up because of this incident. He has always been opposed to members of the royal family bypassing him and contacting the church’s senior leaders privately.”

"But the Queen is just"

Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Did she really just invite along with the rise?"

"I'm glad you didn't just treat Diana as a simple human being."

Miss Carina smiled, then asked Tifa to rub her shoulders. Shade then mentioned Darkness. When the two met in the afternoon, he didn't have time to say it because they were both in a hurry:

"Darkness has entered Tobesk. At least before last night, he had entered the city limits."

"Did you meet him again?"

Miss Carina tilted her head slightly:

"Is he really here to seek revenge from you? Oh, now it gets interesting."

She tapped her slender fingers on the back of the cushioned armchair with the Cavendish crest engraved on the back:

"I thought I could have a few days of leisure, but now I can't. Really, the Council asked me to kill Darkness Shade with my own hands. When this matter is over, I will thank you for the information. If If you have any other information, remember to tell me as soon as possible. Don't try to catch him yourself. You don't know how powerful the ancient evil spirit demon is. Even if a thirteen-ring warlock rashly fights him, he may not be able to win easily. ”

"No problem, Miss Carina."

The duchess suddenly raised her eyebrows, with a smile on her face:

"Why don't you thank me now. Tifa, take the detective to find little Lesia. When I came back from the second floor just now, I saw her entering the east corridor, probably going to her own rest room. room."

Although some rooms in the main building of Yodel Palace are used as living places for royal members, they also play a strong administrative role. As a princess who has already participated in government affairs, Lesia has her own study room or lounge here. Among the unmarried daughters of Larus III, few were treated in this way.

"Remember not to go through the banquet hall to avoid being seen by interested people. Take the stairs on the east side. If you meet anyone, say that I asked the detective to go downstairs to get something."

She made arrangements, the maid nodded, and Shade also stood up from the chair:

"Miss Carina, I should stay at Yodel Palace until about eleven o'clock. If you have anything else to do tonight, you can always go to the second floor to find me."

"I know, you made an appointment to play Rhodes with someone else. Speaking of Rhodes, Queen Diana will probably give you a surprise tonight, so you can look forward to it a little bit."

She held her face and smiled.

Under Tifa's guidance, Shade walked around the east side of the third floor until he saw the narrow stairs used by the servants. Walking through the maze-like building, I didn't meet anyone along the way.

After stopping in front of the door with the door sign "Lecia Cavendish", Tifa motioned to Shade to knock on the door:

"Your Highness Lesiya probably won't like to see me."

The black-haired maid girl winked playfully at Shade. If the younger Iluna's action was cute, then Tifa's action was playful and slightly charming. After working as a detective assistant, she seemed to have a different perception of Shade:

"Then I'll go back first, Shade. There may be things I need to do over there, Miss."

She said in a low voice.

"Okay, bye, Tifa."

"Have a great time tonight."

As she spoke, the maid smiled at Shade, then stepped on the carpet and turned to leave.

Xia De confirmed that the other party's back disappeared around the corner of the corridor, then reached out and knocked gently.

"Who is it?"

Lesia's voice coming from inside, although it seemed a bit dull through the door, it still made Shade smile:

"It's me."

He believed that Lesia could hear his voice.

Just after I finished speaking, I didn’t hear the footsteps that sounded immediately. Instead, I waited for a while before the footsteps that were obviously not Lesia’s approached the door.

After the door was opened, what Shade saw was a young man with reddish-brown hair, shorter than him, wearing a black tuxedo and a white shirt. A pocket watch chain protruding from the breast pocket was tied to a button. . His skin was a little dark and his eyebrows were thick. He asked Shade at the door with some confusion:

"Sir, who are you?"

"It's my friend."

Before Shade could speak, Princess Agelina's voice rang in the room.

Shad looked into the room, and there were quite a few people inside. In addition to the servants, there were also Princess Agelina, Lesia, and several other young men and women whom Shad didn't know.

There were several girls among whom Shade had met before when he was in the Prophet Association, but because he didn't remember their names, he treated them as if he didn't know them.

"Mr. Hamilton is my friend. I asked the servant to find him and wait with us for the dance to start."

Princess Agelina said again, so the young man at the door made way to let Shade enter. He looked at Sha De suspiciously. When Sha De passed by him, he suddenly realized:

"Rejed's Hamilton!"

"Yes, it's me."

Xia De nodded and admitted.

"Are you the rumored lover of Miss Carina?"

Xia De stopped and looked at him with a frown:

"Sir, this is not polite. Please do not slander Miss Carina's reputation."

Not only him, but also Lesia and Agelina frowned. Although rumors are spreading, these things cannot be said like this.

The aristocratic young man in front of me, whose name I don’t know, is obviously hostile to Shade. Although I don’t know where this hostility comes from, Shade is not the kind of person who swallows his anger, and he is slandered even though he has done nothing. This is the most annoying thing:

"Sir, please apologize to Miss Carina."

"Yes, I made some mistakes."

When it comes to the powerful duchess in the country, the other party obviously realizes that what she blurted out under emotion is inappropriate. But after a very insincere apology, he looked at Shade up and down and said, raised his eyebrows and raised his head slightly:

"Mr. Hamilton, I heard that you are the detective of Saint Teresa Square? Look, this looks very much like that."

This tone is extremely frivolous, in other words, it is impolite.

"Well, detective, why don't you try to reason about what we were doing just now?"

He smiled and said:

"The detective in Saint Teresa Square should have this ability."

Shad looked at the others. Most of them thought it was very impolite to speak like this, while a few girls were trying to tell Shad with their expressions what had just happened here.

"That's it"

Shad turned and walked towards the maid by the wall, with his back to everyone. He stretched out his hand and said to Ms. Hells, Lesia's head maid:

"Ma'am, lend me a gun."

As he spoke, he pulled out the [Gear of Kindness] from his waist. Although there were two other maids besides Ms. Hells who saw this scene, no one dared to say anything.

"Sir, in addition to being a detective, I am also a knight."

Xia De lowered his head and pushed the bullet nest away neatly.

Because [Gun of Kindness] can use the spirit of the ring warlock to generate bullets, he usually does not put bullets in it. Now all six bullet nests are empty.

Xia De touched his pocket, then took out a bullet, showed it to the surprised people, and then pressed the bullet into the cylinder.

"The most important thing for knights and detectives is actually courage."

Returning the cylinder to the correct position, he showed the pistol to the thick-browed aristocratic young man at the door:

"Since you are questioning my detective ability, why don't we make a bet? No, the Rhodes betting method is really boring, let's bet on this."

With a flick of the finger, the bullet nest immediately rotates. When the bullet nest was fixed again, Shade picked up the gun and signaled to the opponent:

"You come first or me first? I think you understand what I mean."

"Oh, you, you crazy person!"

The young man in a black tuxedo looked at Sha De in disbelief. Sha De shook his head:

"This is a bet of honor. In the old days, knights were happy to protect their reputation in this way."

"Mr. Hamilton, you don't have to take risks for this man. This is Mr. Jason Dimmock, the youngest son of the Earl of Dimmock."

Princess Agelina’s voice came from the side, but Shade was not interested in knowing who the other party was:

"So Mr. Dimmock, do you come first or me?"

"You"

"Okay, I'll go first."

Shad pointed the [Gun of Kindness] that could never be used to commit suicide at his own temple, and pulled the trigger before others could react.

Click~ There was a sound, and sure enough, no bullet was fired.

"It's your turn."

Shad took a few steps quickly and handed the gun forward, but Mr. Dimock obviously did not dare to take it:

"you"

"Oh, twice per person, right?"

As he spoke, he was about to raise his gun again, but the young man in a tuxedo immediately stopped him:

"No no, I mean"

"Oh, it's still one person at a time, but you want me to shoot?"

Shad raised the muzzle of his gun, and Mr. Dimock immediately raised his hands:

"Knight, calm down, please listen to me, why should I bet with you?"

"Because you have offended Miss Carina and my reputation."

Although Shade put down the revolver with a smile, he still stared at the opponent:

"Or, you want me to pull the trigger three times first, and then you try the last three times."

Because he was very confident that this gun could never kill him, the expression on Shade's face showed that he was definitely not joking.

"No, me"

Jason Dimock looked at the other people in the room and tried to ask for help, but no one spoke at this time. Not only because Shade was holding a gun, but also because what Shade said actually made sense.

Even if they did play dangerous gambling here and someone died as a result, the living people would not be punished too much.

"I, I'm not feeling well, I'm sorry."

Seeing that no one was helping him, the aristocratic young man in a tuxedo walked backwards towards the door, then opened the door and ducked out, regardless of what his friends in the room thought.

"Tsk."

Xia De shook his head, took the gun and turned to look at the group of people sitting on the sofa. When no one spoke, he opened the bullet nest again and took out the bullet.

Judging from the position of the bullet, pulling the trigger for the sixth time should align it with the barrel.

"You are so impulsive."

Princess Agelina said immediately while sitting on the sofa. After speaking, she winked at Shade. This action was very playful.

"I'm so sorry that this happened. I'm sorry. You should go to the banquet hall first."

Lesia, the real owner here, said to her friends, so people bypassed Shade and left the room, but most of them smiled and nodded at Shade. It seems that what happened just now will definitely spread throughout this banquet.

After the guests left, Lesia looked at the servants standing by the wall. After shaking her head slightly, Ms. Hells led the servants to leave first.

After everyone left, except for her and Shade, there was only Agelina Cavendish sitting on the sofa.

The little princess was originally holding a porcelain tea cup, but when she saw her sister stand up from behind the desk and quickly walk towards Shade who was standing in the middle of the room, putting the gun to her waist, she subconsciously Put the cup on the coffee table and crane your neck to look at them.

Lecia stretched out her right hand and lifted Shade's head upright. The red-haired girl wrapped her left arm around him and kissed him.

"Oh~"

The little princess said softly, her face flushed, and she looked at them without blinking.

"What is your relationship?"

It took her a long time before she picked up her teacup again, held it sideways and asked softly.

Lecia pushed Shade away, gasping for air, and brushed the red hair that was scattered around her ears. The blush on her cheeks could not even be covered by the blush.

Her breath was a little unsteady when she spoke, but the smile on her face was very obvious:

"Xia De saved me, this is thanks."

None of the three people present believed this, but Agelina didn’t ask any more questions.

"I wanted to do this last time."

Lecia smiled and said to Shade again. She looked at Shade at close range, her eyes were very bright at the moment:

"After the hasty farewell in the west, I have always wanted to say thank you to you. I wanted to kiss you on Saturday, but I was delayed by those **** things, and now I finally did it. It feels really good."

"Sister Lesia, the last sentence should be the male character's line."

The little princess immediately reminded that Lecia did not pay attention to her sister.

"Shad, Agelina didn't want her father to marry someone she didn't like for political reasons, so she asked me for help. She is a trustworthy person, so it doesn't matter if she saw her just now."

Lecia said again:

"I sometimes leave Tobesk. If you can't find me but are in trouble in the city, you can also ask Agelina for help. She is always at Yodel Palace, but her maid You can come in and out relatively freely, and I’ll ask her to give you her contact information later.”

"I don't have any trouble in this city. It's peaceful here."

Xia De said, carefully wiping off the lipstick on his lips with the back of his hand:

"So Lecia, were you okay when you went to the second floor just now?"

He is still worried about this.

"It's okay. Sit down quickly and let's have a good chat. I know you're thinking about playing Rhodes, but it shouldn't be a big deal if you delay it for an hour or two."

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you play cards or not."

Shade said lightly, Lesia covered her mouth and chuckled, and Agelina seemed to want to say something, but at this time, the door was knocked again.
