The Whispering Verses Chapter 624: The Princess in the Morning
Chapter 624 The Princess in the Morning
Although Shade made a nest for Mia in the closet with old clothes on Tuesday night, the orange cat was still quite unhappy early Wednesday morning.
After being released by Sha De in the morning, he has not paid much attention to him. Even if Shade heated the goat's milk, soaked the cat food and put it in Mia's special bowl, she just barked reservedly, and waited until Shade returned to his seat before walking over pretending to be reserved.
Xia De never thought that he could see such a human expression in a cat.
Shad, who was sitting at the table, carefully peeled the hard-boiled eggs, and then under Mia's cautious eyes, he moved from his seat to the cat standing on the table eating.
He separated the still hot white egg from the middle, and the yellow yolk was even steaming.
Mia looked at the direction of Room 2, then looked at the egg yolk in Shade's hand with wide eyes, and tilted her head:
"Meow?"
"Want to eat?"
Xia De asked, the cat blinked and meekly called:
"Meow~"
So Mia got a snack for breakfast, and Shade regained the love of his cat.
【Do you need a reminder? It is】
"Yes, it is Miss Mia's cat, I know..."
Pulling Mia's bowl to his hand, and then petting the well-behaved cat, Shade sat back in his seat and opened the newspaper to read the report on this year's Tobesk autumn harvest statistics. It looks like this year will be a good year, and the grain production around Tobesk is very good.
Ding Dong~
The doorbell rang from downstairs, and the cat with goat's milk on its face looked in the direction of the stairs. Shade touched it to reassure it. He stood up in surprise, looked down from the living room window, and saw a strange carriage parked downstairs of his house.
"Oh, a client came to the door today?"
Xia De was happy, but frowned slightly:
"It's only half past seven, why is the client so anxious?"
Picked up the clothes on the hanger at the door of the second floor, put on a coat over the shirt, stomped downstairs, and changed the slippers on his feet into leather shoes at the door:
"Please wait a moment."
Xia De shouted from behind the door, took off the anti-theft chain of the door, pulled the latch inside the door, and then turned the door handle.
It was early morning in Tobesk outside the door. Autumn fog and gray fog mixed together, making the sky a little gloomy. There were already some pedestrians on Saint Teresa Square, but most of them were sleepy and in a hurry. In the distance, a newspaper-selling child wearing a black hat was entangled with a middle-aged man holding a briefcase, while a flower-selling girl was talking quietly to the lady who poked her head out of the carriage at the street corner.
The fog adds a little color to this picture, making this scene look like a street scene in a classical oil painting a reality. The century-old buildings of St. Teresa Square stand in the center of the royal capital as they did in the past. The statue of the girl holding the water bottle still smiles in the misty and dark morning.
The carriage stopped in front of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. The door had been opened. The red-haired girl in a black pleated floral skirt, together with the gem decoration on her skirt, added a bit more to the oil painting of the early morning street scene. Special color.
The red-haired girl smiled at Shade:
"Good morning, Shade, I hope I won't run into Luvia at your place."
Of course not. Luvia left very early. She didn’t bring a change of clothes, and she needed to go home and change before going to work at the Prophet’s Association.
"Good morning, Lesia."
Shad said very unexpectedly that this should be the first time the two of them met physically in a month since the Queen's birthday party was unexpectedly interrupted by Darkness.
"Good morning, detective!"
Another voice said, and the shorter sixteen-year-old princess also poked her head out of the carriage. It was Princess Agelina Cavendish, with a big smile on her face. Her youthful face and youthful clothing make her very different from her sister.
"Why are you here? Please come in."
Realizing that it was best not to let too many people see Lesia and Agelina, Shade moved aside the door to let the princesses in. Followed by two maids with their heads lowered, but Shade had never seen them, they were probably the personal servants beside the little princess.
The two princesses passed by Shade one after another, their hair brushing against Shade's shoulders. Lesia still has the familiar smell of lily perfume, which is not very strong. Even Shade, who hates ordinary perfumes of this era, can accept it. On Agelina.
"Floral perfume."
Shad cannot distinguish different floral fragrances. He does not have this ability. The smell of perfume on Lesia's body is her own.
Nodding to the expressionless coachman, Shade closed the door of St. Teresa Square in the early morning from the inside, shrouded in fog.
Although Lesia has never been to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square herself, she has been there many times through Dorothy's body. So he didn't use Shade to lead the way, so he walked in front and climbed the stairs first. This surprised Agelina, who wanted to go to the first floor. She looked back at Shade who was closing the door, but said nothing.
The group came to the living room on the second floor. Lecia naturally sat on the sofa and asked the two maids to go to the kitchen to prepare tea. A cat who sees a group of strangers coming into his home is obviously very uncomfortable with this atmosphere. Because of his fear, he didn't even pay attention to the goat's milk left in the bowl. When the maids approached the kitchen, he ran quickly to Shade.
"Mr. Hamilton, are you having breakfast?"
The little princess was very curious about this place, but due to her status as a "royal lady", she did not look around, but sat obediently next to her sister.
Lecia is about the same age as Dorothy, and both are slightly older than Shade's body. Speaking of which, Luvia is actually older than Lecia. As for the sixteen-year-old Agelina, she doesn't have so many worries. In addition, the sky blue princess dress she is wearing today is a younger style, so she looks even younger.
"Yes, I usually have breakfast at this time. Why are you here so early? Is there something urgent?"
Shad sat on the single sofa on one side.
"There's no urgency because if it hadn't been so early, I wouldn't have been able to come here."
Lecia said, scanning Shade with her eyes. She knew that Shade had broken into the narrow realm of life and death:
"After Brother Sachs was sentenced to death, someone had to take over the affairs of the New World that he originally managed."
"Is it under your control?"
"That would be great, but obviously I'm not good enough in my father's eyes to handle these things."
"After Sister Lesia came back from Kasenlik, her father has always asked her to be responsible for handling diplomatic matters. Meeting foreign ambassadors, attending some banquets, or giving a speech in the Kingdom Parliament, probably this kind of thing."
Agelina said that Lesia, who successfully completed her visit to the Southern Kingdom on behalf of the royal family, successfully gained greater power.
"Yes, yes, the taste of power is very good, but it also takes up a lot of time. Fortunately, I can still handle it."
Lesia smiled, and then the red-haired princess looked at Shade:
"I have to go back before nine o'clock in the morning. As for coming to see you so early, it is because you were busy saving your friends last Saturday, didn't you miss our class?"
"That's right."
"So to make up for it, the matter of spiritual runes cannot be delayed, especially for you."
Shad didn’t speak, but glanced at Agelina, Lesia shook her head:
"It doesn't matter, Agelina is trustworthy. And she is very talented. No, I don't mean that she has become a ring magician. Agelina has been very inspired since she was a child." (Note)
"Yes, guessing the head or tail of a coin, as long as the amount of data is large enough, I can achieve a success rate of more than 80%!"
The little princess said, and then smiled and waved to the cat curled up in Shade's arms, but the cat ignored her at all.
"Oh, such a strong inspiration?"
For such ordinary people, it is almost certain that they will awaken at some point in the future. Of course, it's just "almost", it might just be good luck.
"Well, guess this, how about we guess it ten times?"
Shad took out the [upright coin]. Dorothy heard Shad mention something he bought from Fort Midhill, so Lesia also knew this:
"Stop bullying my sister. If you throw this out, it will only stand on the ground. Shade, let's get down to business. I want to entrust you to do something."
"What happened?"
Shad asked curiously, and Lecia took out a photo from the pocket of her skirt. On it is a man wearing the uniform of the Royal Army of Delarian. Judging from the epaulettes, he is a lieutenant.
Turn over to the back of the photo and it says "Wind Rises Trail - Redwater Camp 1st Company - Lieutenant Shorten".
"If you have time, help investigate this person. You don't need to be very careful, you just need to know whether he has any strange large expenses recently."
Xia De raised his eyebrows:
"No problem, it's easy."
Yesterday, he also helped the corporal who died in the [Gulf of Life and Death] return the pistol to Captain Ronald at the Red Water Camp. Unexpectedly, he would have another mission related to that place. Maybe, he should go to the traveler camp next to the Red Water Camp on the Wind Rises Trail, so that he can go into the mountains to find the witcher's sword.
"After I get your reply, I will give you a suitable reward. No, there is no need to refuse. You know what I lack most is gold pounds."
Lecia waved her hand, but did not explain what was wrong with Lieutenant Shorten. She talked about another thing:
"Regarding your [Sleep], in the class two weeks ago, we already started trying to read "Sleeping Princess". How is the recent progress?"
"Not bad. I try to copy the stories written in ancient characters every day. The parchment is now in the drawer."
Xia De emphasized:
"This time, I didn't burn it."
This sentence is emphasized because the parchment provided by Lesia that recorded the ancient text of the fairy tale "Match Girl" and "Tree Kiss" was destroyed by Shade as the price of obtaining the Mystery Lock.
PS: In Chapter 484, Agelina mentioned, "When I first saw you in the courtyard on the second-floor terrace of Lakeview Manor, I felt that you were different from everyone else."
This sentence is not polite.
