The Whispering Verses Chapter 973: Marguerite Anjou’s commission

The two held hands together and looked at Shade at close range again. Margaret Anjou subconsciously did not look into his eyes. She thought this was an instinct caused by the subconscious fear of the powerful ring warlock. reaction.

Before meeting with Shade alone, Princess Margaret thought about many situations after the meeting, but she did not expect that Shade would be so calm:

"Hamilton of Rejed, you don't seem surprised at all that I am a student of Serkses? Did you recognize me last week?"

She asked softly, speaking first to seize control of the topic.

"No, no, Your Highness, of course I didn't recognize you. But whether you are a ring warlock or not, what impact does it have on me?"

Shad let go of his hand, because through a layer of gloves, the princess with only a slight witch power still didn't notice anything was wrong with Shad:

"Furthermore, I think that since you have revealed your identity as a ring wizard to me, you won't threaten me with words like 'Knight, you don't want your identity to be exposed.'"

He leaned half against the wall and looked at the princess:

"I think I can trust you. Miss Carina has praised you. You are a very qualified royal lady."

Princess Margaret was a little surprised by this sudden compliment. She had thought that the handsome gentleman opposite would be as afraid of the strange ring warlock as she was.

The princess still maintains the elegance and dignity of a noble girl:

"Mr. Hamilton, yes, we all come from the three major academies, and there is no conflict between us. This is enough for us to trust each other. I even want to thank you for helping me capture the head last week."

Thinking of the scene in the foggy alley, where Shade swung the terrifying black chain towards the wall, Princess Margaret's mouth twitched. She didn't know what level Shade was, but she thought it must be the middle level, which was much stronger than her fourth level:

"Detective, I invite you here this time because I want to give you a commission. Yes, I will give you a commission as a ring wizard."

Xia De raised his eyebrows, but he didn’t expect to call him out for this matter:

"It's really interesting. For your commission, can you first introduce what needs to be done? Under normal circumstances, I will not do anything illegal."

"I would like to entrust you to help me find a sorceress."

Under the gaslight, she subconsciously lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of someone:

"Yes, a sorceress. I know some information about her, but I can't go to her personally, or even let people who are obviously related to me go to her, otherwise once she is discovered... ."

She hesitated, but still stated her goal:

"Residing in Saint Teresa Square and surrounding neighborhoods, female, age should be no more than 30 years old, career may be related to mathematics, or at least proficient in mathematics. The other party should have a very good personality, first-class appearance and figure, and does not like to interact with Male Dating ”

It was impossible for the princess to tell Shade. She was afraid that Miss Sylvia would discover her "little tricks", so she randomly found a reason to explain why she entrusted Shade to do this:

"Saint Teresa Square and the nearby blocks are home to many of your nobles and high-ranking officials in Delrayon. It is impossible for me to check it myself. Once a diplomatic problem occurs, it is not a trivial matter. Detective, you live in St. Teresa Delan Square should be very convenient for investigation. Please help me find the sorceress. You can pay whatever you want. Gold pounds are not a problem."

Although she didn't say it, Shade subconsciously understood that the other party was looking for him, or in other words, he was looking for Miss Sylvia's nominal "apprentice". He heard that the witch said that she said to the princess Lies told:

"Well..."

Seeing Shade's hesitant look, the princess frowned slightly:

"Sorry, do you have any questions?"

"There is no problem, I'm just not sure..."

If Shade refuses at this time, maybe the princess will find someone else to investigate, which will cause more trouble. But the problem is that Shade is very sure that he can't find anyone according to the other party's description. If he really finds a target like "Miss Pavo", it will definitely be the wrong answer:

"I'm not sure if I can really find it. If it's really a sorceress living nearby, she must be well hidden."

"Yes, the other party's ability is not weak, so I don't ask you to find it, just give it a try. Mr. Alan Madison thinks highly of you. He has heard a lot about you from Dr. Schneider. I know that you are a kind, upright, and persevering gentleman, and that there have never been any accidents in the cases you handled. ”

Shad is not sure how the doctor evaluated him, but obviously there is something wrong with the "second-hand evaluation" the princess heard. It was only the four cases left by Detective Sparrow. Except for little Mia, the other three were all There was a big surprise.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally nodded:

"I can take on this task, and I will give you an answer before you leave the local area."

He was wondering whether to compile an investigation report according to the tradition of Detective Sparrow, or to tell the young witch directly about the matter:

"As for the reward, I don't think there will be any need for gold pounds."

The princess quietly took a step back, and calculated that it was less than four minutes before the salon started at seven o'clock, she spoke slightly faster:

"You are a distinguished guest from afar, so there is no need to mention the gold pounds. Your Highness, I currently have a commission for Sir Prisha, which was initiated by his local admirers. I would like to ask from you , to know something about Sir Prisha, it will be very useful for me to complete the commission."

Sir Priscilla and Princess Margaret are a team, of course, in her opinion Shade does not know this. Upon hearing Shade's request, she breathed a sigh of relief, and sincerely praised the gentleman in front of her for his demeanor.

The rumored Shad Hamilton first seduced the Duchess's maid with sweet words, and then made his fortune by getting close to Carina Cavendish. But based on what she learned after coming to Tobesk and what she saw at Lakeview Manor, maybe the truth is that Carina Cavendish fell in love with this young and promising ring warlock:

"That's no problem, knight. I can tell you something about him, but not now. How about Sunday? I'll go to your house to see you on Sunday. I've always heard about the reputation of Saint Teresa Square, and I haven't I went to visit, and I only had some free time on Sunday.”

After a short pause, he added:

"Knight, you have won my friendship, the friendship of Margaret of Anjou."

Xia De nodded slightly and asked again before the princess was about to leave:

"I heard that Sir Prichard is a distant relative of the Anjou royal family. His maternal grandmother and your grandmother are twin sisters. I don't know if there is anything special about his paternal lineage, that is, the Prichard family."

"Would admirers still ask you to investigate this?"

The pale blond haired princess asked curiously, and then replied casually:

"Prisha is a very old surname, and was a noble name before the founding of the United Kingdom. I have heard that a long time ago, this surname represented a very ancient family of ring wizards, with extraordinary and sacred bloodlines. Of course, this is just a rumor. If you are curious about this, we can talk about this topic on Sunday."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but hesitated and asked again:

"Excuse me, Mr. Hamilton, who did you learn mathematics from? A certain scholar, or a certain college?"

Xia De blinked:

"Have you not investigated my identity? I don't have any diplomas or diplomas. I learned mathematics by myself after becoming a magician."

Of course Margaret Anjou could not find out the specific date when Shade became a ring wizard, and Mr. Alan Madison would not tell her this.

"Talent and years of study? I understand."

She took a deep breath and looked shocked. After saying goodbye to Shade, he left the stairs and led his maid to quickly walk to the room at the other end of the corridor where the reading salon was held. She could not be late for such an occasion.

Shad stood in the shadow of the stairs and looked at Princess Margaret’s back:

"Generally speaking, when it comes to the so-called 'ancient family', there must be many stories behind it. I originally just wanted to try to see if I could start from the princess's point of view and try to collect the inspiration of the 'Guiding Moon', but I didn't expect it. There are such rumors."

【Are the rumors about the ancient family relevant to you? 】

"Irrelevant."

He is also ready to go back:

"At least, it's irrelevant for now."

The time came to seven o'clock in the evening, all the invited guests arrived on time, and Shade, who had polished his shoes, sat down again next to Sir Prisha.

Lecia smiled and clapped her hands, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and then stood in front of the fireplace and took out a book. She thanked everyone for coming, and especially thanked Princess Margaret, and then the book salon officially began.

The reading salon is not a particularly serious activity. People can enjoy tea and desserts while participating in interesting activities.

The salon is hosted by Lesia, who first invites people to share the books they have been reading recently. People who are willing to share can get up and come to the fireplace, turn their backs to the fireplace to show the books they brought, and share the interesting content they have read or the knowledge they have learned from the books. The book Shade brought was Dorothy's "Hamilton Detective Stories". This kind of popular book was not suitable for appearing in such an "elegant" reading salon, so Shade did not take the initiative to share it.

Princess Margaret brought Kasenrick's traditional fairy tale collection "Dream Poems". The 1853 edition added fifteen new fairy tales, among which the story about the Mermaid Princess was the one she shared most. content.

Baron Laraire of Tobesk shared a book called "Lightning on the Mountain Top". People arranged an array of iron rods on the top of the mountain in order to attract lightning and infer the specific cause of lightning. and estimate specific power.

It's just a pity that this book is not a popular science book, but a first-person disaster biography. Most of the bodies of those who encountered misfortune in the mountains have not been found yet.

Sir Prisha, who is beside Shade, shared the collection of essays "Song of the Moon" that he read in Tobesk. This book was published this spring by an unknown author. The collection of essays is divided into three chapters: "Chapter of the Yellow Moon", "Chapter of the Red Moon" and "Chapter of the Silver Moon". Each chapter contains prose corresponding to a specific moon. There are 17 articles in the whole book. It can be seen that Sir Prisha likes this book very much and focused on sharing the "Chapter of the Yellow Moon".

Sharing their own books made the atmosphere in the salon more lively. Among the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, some actually brought out popular science books or even popular books. Lesia intended for Shade to participate in the speech, but Shade shook his head slightly, so the princess did not mention Shade's name.

After the books were shared, people gathered together in twos and threes to talk about their favorite topics.

Of course Princess Margaret sat with Lesia, surrounded by noble ladies of the same age; Prince Nasser Cavendish summoned familiar friends to chat and laugh on the other side; and Shade originally wanted to I was about to continue talking about the scenery of Kasenlik with Sir Prisha, but unexpectedly the little princess Agelina came over:

"Knight, do you mind if I sit here?"

She took her friend Lisa Asberg, the youngest daughter of the Asberg family, and sat on the sofa to the right of Shade:

"Knight, what are you talking about?"

"Good evening, Your Highness, we are talking about scenery and detective stories."

Sir Prisha said respectfully, and Shade also added:

"Yes, Sir Prisha also asked me why I didn't write my own story myself. Oh, writing a book is very troublesome, and even if I were asked to write it, I would not use my own name as the The name of the main character in the story, which makes people think I’m bragging.”

"So what name will you use?"

The little princess said happily, Lecia is not here now, and she is sitting next to Shade, which is a very good progress.

"What about the name 'Angie'? I've always liked that name."

Sir Priscilla suggested.

"I feel Hamilton Knight's name is better."

Miss Lisa Asberg said with a blushing face.

Xia De thought of his friends in his hometown, so he thought of a name:

"Jenkins..."

Then I thought of my friend’s hobbies, so I made up a random last name and added a background:

"Jenkins Willamt, with a cat named Chocolate. The name sounds good, but your highness, don't tell me detective stories. People have read my story in books and newspapers. You have recently What are you reading? I heard that the royal family’s grammar teacher is a very serious old gentleman.”

March hangs high in the night sky, and the atmosphere in the bright second-floor room is just right. Silver Cross Avenue was deserted, and the evening wind blew dead leaves into the alley. So far, Leziya's reading salon has not seen any disturbances.
