Shade was originally going to say goodbye to Mr. Anlos, but he remembered something, which he had been thinking about all afternoon:
"Has Mrs. Cook's child been found?"
When the maid next to her, Miss Tifa Servit, heard this question, she smiled and shook her head. The detective was indeed such a person, while Mr. Anlos was stunned:
"Who is...oh, that middle-aged woman? Found it. The police raided the alley and found three missing children. The woman you mentioned burst into tears at the time. There are more children.
The whereabouts are still being traced, this is the biggest case in Tobesk this summer, and with the few people arrested this time, there will definitely be answers."
"This is really great."
Shade breathed a sigh of relief. He even got shot trying to find the child, but in the end he couldn't find it. That was really too bad.
Although it was impossible for Mrs. Cook to give him any generous reward, the great satisfaction Shade gained from this matter was enough to compensate for the time spent.
"Hamilton, you..."
Mr. Anlos was about to leave, but before opening the door, he turned to look at Shade. The middle-aged man smiled at him, and this smile was the most genuine of the two meetings:
"I'm not a life mentor for young people, but people like you are really rare. I heard that you just met that woman today and decided to help her... Agents don't need mercy.
Fortunately you are not an agent."
He nodded to Shade:
"Young people are really good and have a bright future. I will contact you if anything happens. Pay attention to recuperating at home these days. If necessary, write to that place directly.
After saying that, he left without looking back. Compared with the heavyness when he walked in the door, his steps were much lighter.
Until seven o'clock in the evening, Shade was still waiting. Fortunately, the people here prepared dinner for him and arranged a special place for the meal. During this period, Miss Tifa Servit followed Shade the whole time, but did not interact with him.
Let's have dinner together with Shade.
Shade also tried to invite her to sit down with him, but the maid just smiled and shook her head.
On the way back to the waiting room from the temporary restaurant, they passed by a group of middle-aged gentlemen with strange accents. They complained that they had not been summoned after waiting for a day. It seemed that King Larus III was really busy.
Not long after returning to the waiting room, someone came to visit Shade again. This time it was Queen Diana and Miss Carina. The Queen was the same age as the King, but much older than Miss Carina. Although Queen Diana herself was also
A beautiful beauty, but when standing next to Miss Carina, she looks a little mediocre.
This made Shade feel the abnormal charm of the great witch again.
The queen came specially to thank Shade. She was very kind and spoke softly. She first asked about Shade's physical condition, then talked about his work, and even apologized for making him wait here for a long time.
This is a very good woman, both as a wife and as a queen. In addition to verbally thanking her, before leaving, she also took off the ruby ring she was wearing on her finger and gave it to Shade. She even said with a smile, "She
I heard that Shade liked Rhodes cards, so he planned to find a precious Rhodes card to thank him.
Miss Carina did not leave with Queen Diana, but continued to sit on the couch opposite Shade. Shade looked at her hesitantly:
"You weren't the one who told Queen Diana that I liked Rhodes cards, were you?"
"Yes, it's me. Is there anything wrong with that?"
The duchess asked, her slender neck looking even fairer against the backdrop of the palace dress.
Shade wanted to refute that he didn't like Rhodes cards, but he stopped talking. The precious Rhodes cards are also valuable, so there is no point in refuting this matter now:
"Well, I do like Rhodes."
He played with the ruby ring in his hand. Although it was a gift from the queen and could not be easily sold in the near future, keeping this thing in his hand could give him a feeling of wealth.
"Look, I knew you would like it."
The gorgeous red-haired beauty said, then tilted her head and looked at the window. Because the gas lamp and crystal chandelier in the room were too bright, the refraction of the glass almost turned into a mirror, reflecting the three people in the room.
The corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and the fair skin is in sharp contrast with the red lips with clear lip lines:
"Back to business, did you really hit the bullet? You probably didn't know that about 200 steps behind you at that time, there was a thirteen-ring warlock from the Church of the Sun. I didn't feel anything was wrong, and neither did he.
To the point where there’s a problem…how on earth did you do that?”
He looked at Xia De with inquiring eyes, with a slight smile. When Xia De thought about his experience this morning, he was scared but also felt funny at the same time:
"The twenty-sided dice of fate."
Miss Tifa Servit, the maid, nodded and agreed:
"Yes, this is indeed among the relics I temporarily kept for the detective."
You have to search yourself when entering the Yodel Palace, and even if Shade saves the queen, you will still have to search yourself, so the messy things on Shade's body are temporarily kept by her. In order to prevent trouble in the future, Shade specifically explained the ambiguous function of those relics.
"You're really brave, that makes sense."
Carina tapped her chin with her finger, and Shade realized that this seemed to be the first formal face-to-face conversation between the two parties.
When talking to Miss Carina through the door, because he can't see anyone, he always feels the pressure. But when talking face to face, he is no longer nervous. Carina Cavendish's attitude is very approachable, which
It's different from Shade's imagination.
"Detective, you did a very good job today. I won't say too much to praise you. I can guarantee that you will at least get a Medal of Honorary Knight of Delrayon this time."
Shade thought of the divination performed at the Prophet's Association and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Don't you think it's enough? The Knight's Medal of Honor can only be awarded a maximum of 20 medals a year. The last time it was awarded to an ordinary person without a title was fifteen years ago. This is a very high honor."
Miss Carina said, Shade shook his head and leaned back on the sofa to make his sitting position more comfortable:
"I actually don't value this."
He was destined to leave the civilized world and go to St. Byrons Comprehensive College in the far north. These honors could not be said to be useless in the college, but they were of little use.
"You will gradually find that some honors that can be obtained will make life simpler. In the past era, the Order of Honorary Knights was almost equivalent to the knight class. Unfortunately, there are no knights now."
The duchess said with some regret, but seemed to think of something interesting:
"But if you can make some more contributions, I can find a way to get you a title."
"is it possible?"
"To me, it couldn't be easier."
As she spoke, she lightly tapped the armrest of the single sofa with her finger, and her tone became a little more serious:
"But detective, I hope you will be more cautious next time. The dice you are talking about is not a toy. I rarely think favorably of a person, so don't use your own life to prove that I made the wrong choice."
Shade knew that this was a warning to himself. After this incident, he also understood this truth, just like when he let the [Dark Box] lose control:
"Miss Carina, I don't dare to control fate anymore."
The last few words were re-read, and the expression surprised the great witch in front of her:
"Hmm... Just understand. I always feel like you have another story."
