With so many people eating together, the dining table at home is definitely not big enough, but fortunately when the house was renovated, there was excess furniture left unused in the basement. So the three dining tables were tilted and floated into the stairs and moved upstairs.
, after temporarily moving the furniture in the living room to the wall, the assembled table is enough for everyone to sit together.
The maids originally did not agree to sit with their master, but they still sat together at Miss Carina's insistence. Shade and the maids in Miss Carina's manor are now very familiar with each other,
He could recognize most of them, such as Miss Rachel Delevingne from High Ring, Miss Courteney Michelle from Middle Ring, etc.
The sky outside the window gradually became dark, and the farewell dinner also went smoothly. Of course, the duchess did not forget to raise her wine glass to wish them a smooth trip, and emphasized that after arriving at Moon Bay, they must first obey Shade's order.
Next came the orders from Lesia and the head maid Tifa, and finally the orders from the local witch of fate.
This request is very practical. Shade has long been regarded as the male master of Carina Manor, so Shade didn't say any nonsense like "you don't have to listen to me." On the contrary, Agelina held the wine glass and talked with her.
When my aunt said goodbye, Miss Carina also gave special instructions:
"Agelina, you are also a seventeen-year-old girl. Although my maids will take care of you in Yuewan, you must also take care of yourself. This time I ask you to go to Yuewan, and I don't ask you to do anything.
No contribution, I just hope you understand what we are going to face."
She arranged for Agelina to sit next to her, so she could reach out and hug her:
"You and Lesiya are the girls in the family that I value most. Leziya has gone further than you. Agelina, it's time for you to grow up too. In all aspects."
As she said that, she started laughing, and the maids, even Luvia and Dorothy, covered their mouths and started laughing. Agelina immediately blushed, and when she thanked her softly and sat down again, she secretly looked towards
It's Shard.
The girls' luggage had been sent to the train station in advance, so after dinner, the maids changed out of their maid dresses and put on their own regular clothes, and then took the carriages that had been waiting in St. Teresa Square.
They first took a detour to disperse into the city, and then arrived at Tobesk Railway Station in batches.
Although everyone was reluctant to say goodbye, the time to say goodbye finally arrived. Shade hugged Tifa, Dorothy and Agelina goodbye on the platform of the VIP carriage. The black-haired maid smiled and said, "See you in Moon Bay."
", Dorothy asked Shade and Luvia:
"Don't forget to ask for leave from the doctor for me on Saturday afternoon and explain to him that I will be back next week. I have not forgotten the exam next Sunday."
Agelina didn't sob twice until she hugged Shade. After all, this was the first time she was far away from Tobesk without the company of her relatives. She thought she was strong, but she didn't know until the moment of separation.
My self-understanding is very insufficient.
"Why are you crying? Didn't I accompany you to Yuewan?"
Dorothy blinked, and Lesia's soul arrived. She said to Agelina from the side, and frowned to express her dissatisfaction:
"Why is a seventeen-year-old girl still crying?"
Although she was not a familiar person, the familiar tone still made Agelina stop sobbing. Just as she was about to apologize, Lesia hugged her again:
"You must be careful when you go out, and remember what I told you. Agelina, I am very proud of you."
"Miss, please take care of yourself while I'm away."
Tifa also bowed respectfully to say goodbye to Miss Carina, and Miss Carina just nodded indifferently, and even glanced at Shade when Tifa said goodbye. Shade was very sure that he and the black-haired
The head maid probably understands what she means.
However, this was also their first long separation since Tifa became Miss Carina's maid. Therefore, although she pretended not to care on the surface, the red-haired duchess in casual clothes still hugged her head maid and apprentice:
"be careful."
She warned, but didn't say anything more.
In short, the maid group, Dorothy and Agelina, amidst the farewells of Shad, Miss Carina and Luvia, took the train and left the city of Tobesk at seven o'clock that evening. The three of them together
They waved goodbye to the departing train on the platform, and when the track became really empty, the three of them felt really melancholy.
"I will definitely go to Yuewan at the end of the month, are you really not going?"
Putting down her hand, Luvia asked Miss Carina again, who shook her head:
"I can't leave Tobesk for a long time. If it is really necessary to go, I will probably only participate in the final battle through space movement. After all, we were too high-profile in the previous few times."
In order not to attract attention, the carriages just now had already left. Shade took the initiative to go out of the station to find a new taxi. Miss Carina and Luvia were walking slowly behind. They were both wearing floral skirts.
It’s just that one is purple and the other is blue and white. The hat they carry covers half of everyone’s face. Although Luvia is shorter than the witch, walking side by side does not make people feel uncomfortable at all.
coordination.
The girl with purple eyes looked up and saw Shade walking away, then she smiled and asked:
"You asked Tifa to lead the team to Moon Bay alone this time. Did you deliberately want her and Shade to make mistakes?"
She pursed her lips and smiled. This was not a joke:
"Since the relationship between your apprentice and Shade has long been unclear, it is better to deliberately give them a chance. In this way, once they really cross the meaningless red line you drew, their feelings for you will no longer be clear.
Guilt is doomed that the relationship between the two of them will always be under your control, and you will always stand on the moral high ground when facing them."
"Louvia, what image do I have in your mind?"
Of course the duchess would not admit it. She also looked up and forward to make sure that Shade had gone far, so she also asked:
"Would you like to make a bet with me on whether Shade and Tifa will be in Moon Bay?"
Luvia smiled and shook her head:
"Of course I won't bet. What's the benefit to me? But in my opinion, before you take the initiative to agree, neither Shad nor Tifa will do this. I don't know much about Tifa, but I
I know Shade’s character very well.”
The red-haired lady sighed:
"That's why I'm troubled. This makes me a villain. But if you let me agree, huh~ I'd like to see how long they can endure it. Luvia, I'm not like you."
Generous'~"
Luvia smiled and said nothing. Even if she didn't perform divination, she knew that Carina Cavendish would most likely be self-defeating in the end. As for the girl who was judged to be a generous purple-eyed girl, she smiled and said nothing. On the one hand, it was for the sake of better understanding.
A great thing, but on the other hand, Shade will feel guilty for her for the rest of his life.
This determines that she will always be the first in Xia De's heart. And this is the little girl's little secret.
When the three returned home, the remaining maids had restored the living room to its original state. Neither Luvia nor Miss Carina seemed to have any intention of leaving tonight, so Shade naturally would not drive anyone away.
At this time, it was completely dark outside. He told them that he had some personal matters to deal with, and then went to the study alone with his notebook and the texts translated by Megan and Audrey. Little Mia also took short steps.
His legs followed behind him.
That notebook is actually Detective Sparrow's personal diary, or "notepad", which is used to record some important things to prevent him from forgetting. After all, human beings have limits. No matter how good an agent's memory is, it is still very difficult.
It’s hard to remember the important experiences of every day in the past for decades.
The contents of this notebook are all records left by Detective Sparrow when he was in the Moon Bay area more than ten years ago. If it were normal, Shade would be very interested in the contents and would really want to know more about Sparrow.
The detective's past adventurous life. But this time he still focused on looking at what was recorded in the page of notes with the photo of Karas Mountain.
"Mountain Karas is within the territory of Delarian and is far away from the Moon Bay area. It stands to reason that during the operation in Moon Bay, Detective Sparrow is unlikely to temporarily go to Mount Karas to take pictures of the scenery and then come back."
Fortunately, there was indeed relevant content on that page of notes, but those records were a little different from what Shade had imagined——
[When developing the film of Viscount Wright’s private meeting with his lover, I accidentally discovered that the film of the souvenir photo taken at Karas Mountain was also on me, so I developed it together. I can confirm that there is no sensitive content in the landscape photos]
This only explains the origin of the landscape photo. Shade turned back several pages, almost to the end, before he saw the description of "Karas Mountain" again:
[.The informant "Big Mouth" originally set the place for regular information exchange at Kalas Mountain. Now it seems to be a good idea. Calculating the time, next year will be the day for exchanging information again. I hope everything goes well. 】
Apart from this, there was no other content related to "Mountain Karas". However, on the last page of paper, Shade found that the word "Shadow" describing "shadow" was circled.
He thought for a moment and reached out to touch the circle, so the power hidden in the page checked and confirmed Shade's identity, and then a line of gorgeous floral letters glowed and floated above the page, which was the name of Megan and
Audrey's handwriting:
"I quickly rushed to Yuewan. Shade, if it is convenient for you, please prepare a suitable room, a 'No Entry' sign in advance, and free up a whole day - Love you Megan/
Audrey.”
There is also a simple smiley face symbol at the back.
PS: Yes, this smiley face was also drawn using AI.
