Shade did not leave immediately. Instead, he held the dagger and looked at the sea view. After a long time, he sighed.
Even though he has been vigilant, he still encounters "desire" again and again. Now that he is helping her, he doesn't even have a big grudge in his heart:
"Can just words have such power? I shouldn't have been under her subtle charm, right? It's something in the desert."
[You’ve been blown away by the sun, and at least when it comes to beautiful girls, you are not a stoic person.]
"That's good. I was hurt by cats and lust. Since the exam is approaching, I have quit sex recently!"
The seabirds on the reef were frightened away by Shade's sudden fist-clenching movement, and "she" chuckled in Shade's ear.
"Then please tell me, does this count as helping bad people?"
Shade asked again, and "her" laughter was indeed gentler than the sea breeze blowing on her cheeks at the moment:
【It doesn’t matter who you do things for, as long as you think it’s right and what you should do, then do it.】
Shade then put the dagger into the inner pocket of his coat. The dagger was warm and although it could not be easily turned into a toy, Shade decided to carry it with him for a while.
Because of some delays at the Darmanin Mansion, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning by the time the taxi brought Shade to the gate of Belindel Manor.
Under the same gloomy sky, the atmospheres of Belinder Manor and Darmanin Mansion were completely different.
As soon as Shade got off the carriage, the maids who had been waiting for him ran out of the mansion to greet him. When Shade entered the house, Miss Bernice, who came after hearing the news, was the first to hug him:
"Xia De, I didn't even say hello well yesterday. Look at you, I haven't seen you for so long. You haven't changed at all."
The blonde lady said very excitedly.
"Miss Benenice, you haven't changed at all. Oh, good morning, Sirius."
Shade said to Sirius who was coming downstairs again. The blonde girl smiled at him:
"Early this morning, Vanessa guessed when you would come, but you never showed up until Count Belindel went out to do errands. If it weren't for the interesting little unicorn in the manor, Vanessa might have
I will take the initiative to go out of the city and wait for you."
She was explaining to Shade why the mistress of the manor did not show up.
"Oh! Shade!"
Immediately afterwards, Miss Sylvia also walked down the stairs. The young witch wearing a black and white gauze skirt came to Shade with a smile and hugged Shade:
"I dreamed about you yesterday."
"I guess that was an interesting dream."
Miss Benenice on the side was teasing, but Miss Sylvia didn’t care:
"Margaret went back last night. She is a very busy person now."
As he spoke, he pulled Shade around in a circle:
"It's great to see you again, this is life, so Carina is such a lucky guy."
Tifa also quickly came to say hello to Shade. Unlike Miss Sylvia who lived with Margaret and Miss Bernice who lived with the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe in the city's Goethe Hotel, Tifa
The maids from France and the North all live here.
She smiled and nodded to Shade, but did not hug Shade.
Shade was curious about why Dorothy didn't come to greet him, and then he heard the door of the mansion opened again, and Dorothy, Agelina, Emilia and Iluna walked in together.
"Good morning, Shade, we were in the back garden just now."
The blonde writer explained:
"Agelina wants to try riding a unicorn. Emilia communicated with little Liana for a long time to get her to agree. Iluna arrived twenty minutes ago, but little Liana seemed a little scared of Iluna.
Na, but she is willing to take the initiative to lie down next to Iluna. When I get back, I will develop the photos and you can display them at home."
The little princess's face was flushed with excitement at this moment, while Iluna seemed a little embarrassed. The eighteen-year-old girl probably didn't want to be thought by Shade. She was as naive as the underage elf and the little princess, but the unicorn was really
Very cute.
Although the mistress of the manor was not there, the maids in the manor were also willing to listen to Shade's orders. So Shade asked the maids to help tidy up the study, and everyone went to the study to talk about things.
The maids tidied up neatly, but they didn't let their "colleagues" from the North interfere. Tifa and the others went to the kitchen to bring teacups and snacks.
The sofa set that usually seemed quite large could only accommodate Shade, Miss Bernice, Miss Sylvia, Dorothy, Sirius and Amelia as a guest.
As the representative of Miss Carina, Tifa should have sat down, but she insisted on standing beside Shade. Although Agelina is a princess, she can only be regarded as an ordinary witch follower in the council, so she sat obediently.
He sat on the stool next to the coffee table, and there were other Gaohuan girls from the North and two Gaohuan followers of the great witch.
"Emilia, Miss Denister went to my house last night to talk to me about your affairs."
Shade mentioned this matter first, and the girl with pointed ears nodded nervously:
"so."
"She agreed. Before the incident in Yuewan is over, you and little Lianna can stay here. But you must pay attention to safety and do not contact the principals who have arrived locally for the time being."
Emilia bit the inside wall of her mouth to prevent herself from laughing, but everyone could see that she was smiling.
"The witch of the Red Moon went to your house?"
Miss Bernice asked curiously. Dorothy smiled and thought about what happened with Lesia and Carina yesterday evening. Shade answered her:
"And I just happened to bump into Luvia, Lesia and Miss Carina. They wanted to ask me about things here. Miss Denist also asked me if my house is always so lively at night."
The girls laughed together, and Iluna said again:
"It's a pity that Luvia can't come here now, otherwise things might go more smoothly."
She meant to let Luvia determine the chosen one. Only Shade and Iluna knew about this special ability.
Afterwards, Shade explained to everyone present about the demon of misfortune, Fanarius. This story begins when Emilia first arrived in Tobesk. Shade weakened the role of Dr. Schneider in it and made it the main one.
The credit goes to yourself.
Everyone listened carefully, even the little unicorn listened attentively. After Shade finished speaking, the blond-haired female opera singer sighed and said:
"That's why we said that you are always involved in such dangerous things. We have no objection to you protecting Miss Siam Nord, but in the future it is best to tell us about the matter instead of dealing with it yourself."
"That is an evil spirit demon after all."
Shade shook his head, and then said to Emilia:
"As I said yesterday, if this matter is made public, you can already be ranked with the heroes in ancient legends."
The elf girl shook her head quickly:
"Shad, don't joke like this, I didn't do anything."
"no no."
Iluna corrected:
"I have read a lot of information about the Sword of Light. Those who were recorded as drawing the sword are all true heroes without exception. Emilia, you will not be an exception."
"But the sword was gone and I really didn't do anything."
The elf girl whispered, and Miss Sylvia, who was sitting next to her, held her hand. Everyone took good care of this underage elf in her fifties:
"You have to have some confidence in yourself. Since you can draw the sword once, you might be able to draw it a second time. Tell us, what did you think at that time?"
Everyone looked at her, and Emilia secretly glanced at Shade with a red face:
"At that time, I thought that Shade died to protect me, so I thought that no matter what, I must avenge him. Of course I was scared at the time, but I thought that since Shade protected me, I can be like him.
, the worst case scenario is to die with him."
Both witches glanced at Shade, and both Sirius and Dorothy were smiling. Iluna glanced at Emilia suspiciously, while Agelina nodded in agreement.
"Besides this thought, I also feel that I can't let that crow man harm other people."
Emilia put her hands on her knees and continued to say sheepishly:
"It's enough that I am the only one who is unlucky. I don't want others to be the same as me. Sad because they have lost something important."
"I almost understand."
Dorothy picked up the tea cup and concluded:
"The demon was strong enough and had the ability to threaten civilization and was planning to do so. Emilia happened to be holding the [Night Watch] at the time. Whether she was righteous enough or not is hard to say, but at that time she did have the idea of giving up everything and dying with the crow.
So it doesn't sound difficult for her to meet the four requirements made by Shade."
Tifa even said softly:
"If other ritual needs are prepared in advance and Miss Siam Nord uses the dragon scales of the golden dragon and the black dragon to gain the power of the dragon, she can actually hold the ceremony of the chosen one at that time."
Everyone feels a little regretful, but at the same time they also know that the identity of the selected candidate can never be forced:
"Although it sounds simple, it is difficult to do. Where can we find an opponent as strong as that ancient evil spirit?"
Miss Sylvia said again:
"Those giant dragons seem powerful, but the demon of doom, Fanarius, according to Shade, is almost the oldest demon. Can similar existences be found in Moon Bay now? If so, I suggest that we
It’s better to retreat first.”
But in fact, there really is, such as [desire], but of course it is impossible for Shade to say it.
"Even if we are really found, it will not be easy to face the enemy with such courage and draw a sword like Miss Siam Nord. We can't let Shade 'die' again, right?"
Dorothy made a little joke, but the trick of pretending to be dead was enough once, and it wouldn't work any more.
