The sound of the tide was rushing, the raindrops were pattering, and the bonfire was crackling. The disappearance of her voice actually left people with a feeling of loss. Miss Belindle, who was in Shade's arms, wanted to raise her head, but then she
Immediately she heard a sound like a big fish turning over in the water, and she was so frightened that she retracted into Shade's arms and shivered.
But Shade knew that the "mermaid" should have left, because the bonfire in the small camp was swelling back to its original size, and at the same time, the thick fog that surrounded the reef under the sea cliff was also quickly dissipating.
In fact, in just a few dozen seconds, the thick fog of unknown origin completely disappeared. The rain was still falling. Sitting on the rocks and looking into the distance, I saw the endless sea and the silhouettes of ships traveling to and from Yuewan Port.
The power of that unspeakable mental infection has subsided, but its impact will last for a long time. But after all, this is not the first time that Shade has encountered [Desire], so he has rich experience and quickly adjusted himself. But he
The blond lady who was holding her in his arms seemed to be weak and boneless, but she still buried her head in his chest and refused to raise her head.
Although [Desire] has left, after all, this place is not suitable for staying for a long time. Shade tried to call "Miss Belindle" a few times, but only got her squirming and shaking her head twice in response, and then the witch screamed in a high-pitched voice.
In the middle of the sound, he directly picked her up like a princess.
The two of them returned to the room at the bottom of the elevator. At this time, the maids who were unconscious here also woke up one after another. Although Miss Matilda was not the one with the highest rank, she had the highest ranking because of her status as a witch apprentice.
With the most witch power, she is the fastest to wake up.
Seeing Shade approaching with his master in his arms, and the postures of the two of them and Shade's expression were obviously wrong, the maidservant's lips wriggled a few times, but in the end she didn't say much, and just asked softly:
"Miss, are you okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry about me, let's go back now."
It was only then that she was willing to speak, but her voice was muffled because she was still buried in Sha De's arms.
The other maids also got up at this time. After a little inspection, they found that they were just unconscious and not even dreaming. After Shade asked them if they still remembered what happened here, Miss Matilda
He answered on their behalf:
"We came to visit Countess Darmanin with the young lady, and then we discovered something weird in the manor. The young lady originally wanted to take us away temporarily, and wait until we were sure what was going on here before making any plans. The departure went smoothly, Darman
Countess Manin even sent us to the gate of the manor, but when we came to our senses, we had clearly stepped onto the elevator."
Although Countess Darmanin is weird, she does not have the ability to confuse the witch and these maids. There is a high probability that [Desire] cast the illusion herself.
"After the elevator reached the bottom, we fell into a coma. When we woke up, you were already holding the lady and walking over. Are you okay?"
Matilda didn't ask "what happened" but asked like this, and Shade nodded:
"It's okay. Don't think about things here anymore. This is caused by bad luck. It's all my fault for the crow. I thought it would only pay attention to me. No one should come to this manor again. Let's go back."
The elevator was very large, and the group of people stepped on it without feeling crowded. They returned to the basement of Count Darmanin's mansion smoothly. When they walked out of the basement, they saw the beautiful countess and her maid.
We are waiting for them.
She held the handkerchief in her right hand and covered her mouth with a smile, and said to Shade:
"Are you satisfied now? I will tell you that I can let you see your countess, and you will tell me whether you have seen her for the last time."
"Do you really know what you are following?"
Shade asked, but the Countess smiled and asked:
"Mr. Watson, you ask me this, but why don't you ask yourself what you are doing?"
After saying that, without giving Shade a chance to answer, he took the initiative to lead the way:
"I'll send you to the door. It's time for you to go back. Earl Belindel looks like he can't bear it anymore. I'm a woman too. I understand how she feels now."
She really held the umbrella herself and sent the group to the entrance of the courtyard. The driver and carriage, which had disappeared, actually stopped at the end of the uphill road at the entrance of the mansion. And when Shade carried Miss Belindel and boarded the carriage
, turned around and looked back at the mansion in the rain and the countess waving goodbye at the entrance of the courtyard, it just felt like a big and beautiful dream.
Nothing else happened on the way back to Belindel Manor. The maids who were waiting for everyone in the manor were relieved to see that everyone was safe. They just saw Miss Belindel being held by Shade.
, refused to take the initiative to let go, and felt strange in their hearts.
Of course, Emilia and the little unicorn also came to the front hall of the manor to greet them. The little unicorn's perception was very keen. After seeing Shade, he originally wanted to move forward, but he immediately showed a vigilant look.
It cried softly a few times, blocking Emilia with its body to keep her from moving forward. Then it ran to Shad, poked Shad with the horn on its head, and then suddenly raised its front hooves
He raised his head high and cried loudly:
"Ang~"
Although the sound was loud, it was not harsh at all, and along with the sound, the horn on the raised head emitted a circle of golden ripples.
As the ripples spread, the gentle but powerful spirit swept across the bodies of the group of people returning from the foyer. Shade only felt warm all over his body, and all the moisture brought by the rainy day was swept away, even letting his
My mood suddenly became very good.
【The unicorn is dispelling negative forces.】
"She" explained softly in Shade's ear. As for the other maids, they all felt that the indescribable depression surrounding themselves was swept away. And the witch in Shade's arms had a wisp of pink smoke.
The gas floated out. Even the power of the unicorn could not annihilate this pink smoke. Fortunately, Shade took out the perfume vial in time.
The vial itself is in a full state. After the wisp of smoke actively enters the bottle, the essence begins to emit an increasingly charming pink light.
"Oh~"
The countess struggled slightly and then left Shade's arms. She lowered her head to prevent Shade from seeing her face. Miss Matilda took the initiative to support her, and then Miss Belindel did not even talk to her.
Shade said hello and was supported by Miss Matilda towards the third floor. Shade knew that she was going to the bathroom to wash up.
Of course, Shade would not follow him without his eyesight, but smiled and touched the head of the pure white beast:
"You see the evil power in us, right? Thank you so much, you are really powerful."
So the little unicorn called softly again, and then circled around Shade, running around happily. Emilia also walked over at this time, looking at Shade worriedly.
Shaking his head slightly:
"It's okay, I said I can solve everything here."
The elf girl nodded slightly, but the depression in her heart became more obvious.
It was already lunch time on Friday, but everyone who had returned had to wash up and tidy up, so the lunch time at the manor was half an hour later than usual. During this period, Shade also went to wash up and change his clothes.
Of course, the ancient Belindel Manor had a heated bath, but that was for the girls. The maids prepared a wooden bathtub for Shade and let him bathe in the guest room.
Shade rarely used the bathtub, but when his whole body was soaked in it and he sighed softly, he really felt his whole body relax.
The tub was very large, and Shade could lie down with his feet up. He closed his eyes and wanted to relax, but was worried that he would fall asleep, so he thought about what happened this morning and how to explain it to the witch.
, how to carry out the weekend operations, and how to deal with the address given by [Desire].
While I was thinking, I suddenly heard the door being opened, followed by footsteps walking into the door and closing the door.
Shade originally thought it was some maid who came to bring a change of clothes, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the blonde countess wrapped in a white bathrobe.
He was surprised and wanted to stand up, but fortunately he still remembered that he was in a bathing state, so he opened his arms and grabbed the edge of the tub to stop himself from getting up.
Bella Belindel's face, against the backdrop of the fat-red birthmark between her eyebrows and her fair, milk-like skin after washing, was more charming than before. She came quickly as if she was about to punch Shade.
On the side of the tub, Shade subconsciously lowered his head toward the water, but she stood there and stretched her head towards Shade.
The two chased each other and fled, so when Shade's head was completely retracted under the water, and the witch's head was half submerged in the water, and her long blond hair that was not tied up was floating on the water, she kissed him
he.
The kiss happened in the water. Shade's eyes widened, but he saw her golden eyes looking at him. The passionate kiss was a little clumsy in the water, so amidst the splashing sound, she stretched out her arms.
The water hugged Shade's neck and used very difficult movements to immobilize him to stop him from running around.
"Ha~"
After his long blond hair left the water, Xia De, who had been completely pushed into the water just now, emerged from the bathtub gasping for air.
He wiped the water on his face indiscriminately, and he really felt like he was starving of oxygen. Beside the bathtub, Miss Belindel's hair was completely soaked, and the water droplets flowed down her cheeks, and she was breathing hard.
While looking at Shade:
"I still want to kiss."
"What? No, there's no need to repeat it, I heard it. Is it because the influence of the morning hasn't been eliminated yet?"
As he said that, Shade reached out to touch her forehead, but was opened by her hand.
