That afternoon, Shade did not leave the manor. Miss Sylvia left time for Shade and Princess Margaret. Margaret and Shade chatted in the study and listened to strangers telling their adventure stories.
, tells the story of his acquaintance with Lesia, and more about his relationship with the great witches of the Witch Council.
Shade was surprised that the princess was not angry with him, and of course he would not ask why the other party was not angry. The two agreed that Shade would find a way to get to Willendale City as soon as possible, and Shade did not forget to mention
Problems with that White River Valley vineyard in Huntington.
"White River Valley Vineyard? So, where are you from?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess thought for a while before remembering where it was, and she promised to change it from royal property to her own property as soon as possible. Of course, the place is still entrusted to Mr. Bernhardt, so that Shade can use it at any time.
They chatted together in the study and went for a walk in the snow. Shade even let Margaret sit on the swing and pushed the swing for her amid the laughter of Her Royal Highness. And before dinner in the evening, the princess sat on the sofa
She hugged Shade and kissed him goodbye. Shade found that Margaret was probably the most awkward kissing girl among the girls she knew, but she was also happy to practice more with Shade.
Facts have proved that the "assault training" of the three great witches at noon today was very effective. The young princess suppressed her body's instinctive reaction and did not do more with Shade. She and her brothers and sisters had more
And unlike Lesia, who has her own mature thoughts, she has more concerns due to her status as a princess, and Shade also respects the girls around him.
But before dinner, Shade gave Margaret an [Eternal Youth Leaf] as a year-end gift. He had two leaves in his hand, and he gave this one and another.
Her Royal Highness the Princess also knew about this special relic. After solemnly accepting the leaves and discovering that she had failed to prepare a suitable end-of-year gift, she gave the White River Valley Vineyard directly to Shade. Although it was still hanging on her
His name is in his name, but the property and title deeds all belong to Shard.
Shade originally didn't want to accept such an expensive gift. He could buy it with his own money, but after Margaret's insistence, he still accepted it.
"Knight, don't underestimate the savings of the princess of the kingdom. Although I may not be as rich as your duchess, a mere unprofitable vineyard is nothing to me."
After dinner, Shade used [Blood Wine Brewing] to make a large amount of wine, and asked Margaret to bring it back to Willendale as a gift. And Her Royal Highness the Princess also obediently gave up the last time before departure.
Miss Sylvia, let Shade and Miss Sylvia have time alone.
"After returning to Willendale, I will try my best to sense whether there is a [Space Maze] in the city and surrounding areas. Although I don't have the same sensing ability as you, but since I have been exposed once, I think I should be fine."
Night fell, and there were still snowflakes in the air. Shade and the young witch with short black hair walked in the courtyard together. The witch walked backwards, and she looked at Shade with a smile:
"I'm looking forward to seeing you again."
"Me too."
Shade nodded, wanting to say something, but was too embarrassed to speak. Mia stood on his shoulder, looking at the snowflakes curiously, her big amber eyes reflecting the light of the moon.
Miss Sylvia stopped walking backwards, and after Shade came closer, she kissed him gently on the cheek in the snow:
"I stimulated you like that at noon today, and in the afternoon Margaret, a girl who doesn't know how to behave, got intimate with you for a while. I thought you would do something."
Shade shook his head in embarrassment:
"I'm not the kind of lustful ghost, and my series of mortal sin spiritual runes don't contain [sexual desire]."
Miss Sylvia joked:
"Tonight, I guess there must be someone at your home spending the night with you."
She let go of Shade and continued walking side by side with him:
"We big witches still have scruples, and Margaret also has our own ideas. I envy the other princess next to you, and the soothsayer with purple eyes. Her eyes are so beautiful that even a witch can
Feeling envious”
She held Shade's hand, stopped with Shade in the snow, and looked at the moon side by side:
"Be careful, I know. You will definitely be involved in greater danger again. Although I don't know what your ultimate goal is, but... be careful."
"Don't worry, I can't bear to die now."
Shade touched the cat on his shoulder with his free hand, and the little cat raised its head slightly and looked at the moon with them.
"Maybe I will give you a surprise next time we meet. Regarding the investment I talked about with you."
Miss Sylvia mentioned this matter again, and Shade had not forgotten it. As he spoke, he took out his pocket and took out the money order he had entrusted Tifa with:
"I want to say this when I come here this time. I have 5,000 pounds here as an initial investment."
This is half of his current savings. Although it is not much for Miss Sylvia, she still accepted it. She knew that Shade would not accept a plain dividend:
"Well, your 5,000 pounds and your ideas will be used as investments to join our business. I already have some ideas about the chemical fiber you mentioned."
He hugged Shade gently under the moon:
"Since I followed my teacher, I never thought that I would meet a man like you in my life."
The voice in my ear whispered and made a promise:
"I will find out as soon as possible whether we can be with you. May the infinite space bless you and me in the distance. I will miss you."
She gently bit Shade's ear and whispered love words. Then, the sequelae left by seeing [Desire] in the morning broke out again. Only Shade and Mia could hear the thin and shy voice of the black-haired witch.
At seven o'clock on Sunday evening, the motorcade carrying the delegation headed to the train station. Instead of seeing him off, Shade stood at the gate of the manor and waved goodbye to the motorcade. Farewells are always very melancholy, but this time they said goodbye.
But it's extraordinarily simple, because meeting again shouldn't be far away.
Before leaving, Margaret also asked Shade to bring a letter to Lesia, and asked Shade not to open it and read it. According to her, she wanted to ask Lesia if she wanted to do something together.
"Small business", this reminded Shade that Lecia seemed to have been doing arms business.
He did not leave Huntingdon immediately. In the darkness, he finally visited the local vampire Mr. Bernhardt.
Xia De decided not to come to the local area again before the end of the New Year's Day, so he wanted to say Happy New Year's Day to his friends and give him a few bottles of wine as a New Year's Day gift.
But unfortunately, Mr. Bernhardt has left the local area. On Friday, Mr. Bernhardt was too frightened and left Huntingdon for Willendale. Therefore, when Shade arrived at the vampire's manor,
, only saw the letter handed to him by the butler who stayed behind:
"I probably need to rest for a while. After returning from Fort Midhill, I couldn't rest in Huntington."
The middle-aged vampire said this in the letter.
He expected that Shade would come to visit him again, so in addition to apologizing for leaving without saying goodbye, he also specially wished Shade a happy New Year's Day and gave him a rather expensive-looking silver candlestick as a New Year's Day gift.
The candle holder is decorated with a small bat. Although it is just an ordinary item, it is enough as a gift for the end of the year.
Although he regretted not being able to see this gentleman, Shade still left nine bottles of wine and asked the butler to send them to Mr. Bernhardt in Willendale City. Of course, he also did not forget to get the vampire seed Lord from the butler.
At Willendale's address, he would visit again if given the chance.
"Then, let's go home."
Holding Mia in his arms, Shade rode a horse into the night. The story of Huntington City and Fort Midhill finally came to an end. Riding on horseback in the dark night, he felt some inexplicable joy in his heart:
"I also want to send a holiday card to Professor Drake who has moved. After spring starts in March, a large-scale equestrian competition sponsored by the royal family will be held in Tobesk. Maybe this time I will be able to participate with my own riding skills."
The horse he was riding was borrowed from Mr. Bernhardt's estate, and would be brought back later by the servants who went to deliver goods to the vineyards of the White Valley. The maroon horse was so stable that when it
Shade, who was thinking wildly, did not react immediately when he drove straight at the turn of the rural dirt road uncontrollably and hit the bottom of the lake embankment.
"Is this horse crazy?"
He was about to vault while holding the cat stuffed into his coat pocket, but suddenly he felt traces of familiar elements.
Sure enough, after the horse came to the unknown lake, it ran along the ice towards the center of the lake. There was no strict dividing line, and the surrounding scenery changed unconsciously. After climbing onto the Cherubim
After reaching the island in the middle of the lake, Xia De realized that he was here again.
"Professor Drake's research said that you can only land on the island during the day. It turns out that's not the case."
The Lake of the Cherubim at night is covered with snow just like the real city of Huntington, but there are still grass, green trees and flowers growing on the island.
Shade dismounted, put the cat on his shoulder, and took the reins to the small lake in the center of the island in the middle of the lake. The ability to "walk on water" is prohibited near the shore of this lake, and there is no ice in such a cold winter.
.
In the past, Shade jumped directly into the middle of the lake, but this time, he pinched a handful of bone meal and sprinkled it into the water. After the calm lake water bubbled, a small wooden boat with a rotten smell floated up from the bottom of the water.
Letting the horse graze on the shore, Shade and Mia paddled the boat together, and soon came to the bottom of the sharp-edged stones in the middle of the lake. Under the moonlight, the "Goddess of the Lake" holding a long staff
While waiting for him, Shade stepped off the boat and said respectfully:
"Good evening."
He was very grateful to Cherubim for the important tips he gave during the Battle of Pantanal.
"Good evening."
The angel nodded slightly, with a gentle smile, and glanced at the cat standing on the bow of the wooden boat behind Shade, looking around:
"Beloved of the recorder, please keep the knowledge recorded by you properly. I know you will give it to the right person."
"I will."
Shade nodded, and the angel whispered:
"I came to you this time because I wanted to ask - do you want to know about the Palace of the Keepers of Secrets?"
