After leaving the pirate ship, except for the fact that Shade still felt hungry, his body and mind returned to normal within a few dozen minutes. But even if Miss Princes had the fourth wish and the cure at the end of the mystery, she would not be able to survive.
She did not recover so quickly, and she had been swimming in the water for such a long time. Although the five-ringed sorceress looked strong, she was actually almost unable to hold on.
The people on the boat spotted the floating plank and the two people swimming over in time, and the two parties quickly reunited.
The maid on the boat stretched out her hand to pull Miss Princes up, but the sorceress was already a little weak. Shade could only lift her up in the water first, and then climbed onto the boat.
Someone immediately handed him a dry towel and blanket, and with a dull sound, the small steam engine located at the stern of the boat began to operate. As the boatman added more small compressed charcoal to it, the light of the fire filled the surrounding air.
The temperature increased. Bursts of black smoke merged into the night. The ship moved on the sea, relying on a small steam engine as power, and took the group of people away quickly.
Steam engines used for small ships are also a peculiar product developed by the steam industry in this world. This kind of brass machinery, which requires expensive compressed charcoal, has not been widely promoted due to its high cost and complicated maintenance difficulties. Schade is also just
I saw related news in the newspaper, but I didn't expect to see this thing here.
The cost of building this kind of steam engine is that just one steam engine can probably be used to produce hundreds of little Mias.
Thinking of this, Shade missed his cat extremely, and missed the warm four-poster bed and quilt at home.
In addition to Shade and Miss Princes, there were four people on the boat. Two of them were dressed as maids, the older one was about thirty years old, and the younger one was about the same age as Miss Princes. The other two were dressed as maids.
, one is an old boatman who is busy controlling the boat, and the other is a middle-aged man with a resolute expression who looks like he has a military background. He holds a gun in his hand and looks at the warships surrounding the cruise ship in the distance, because they are too far away.
Even if those ships had their lights on, they were not clear in the dark.
"Your Highness, Your Highness~"
Miss Princess was supported by the older maid, a blanket was wrapped around her body, and the younger maid was trying to give her water.
"She's injured, I'll come."
Shade wiped his hair and moved over. The maids didn't know whether to believe him, but Miss Prince's somewhat white lips moved, spit out the leaves in her mouth, and then whispered:
"Let Shade come over."
After taking the water glass, Shade tapped it gently to let the silver aura emerge, and then drank a small portion of it himself.
He was really hungry. Although his hunger dropped significantly after leaving the pirate ship, so he didn't drink seawater just now, but now he always feels uncomfortable both mentally and physically if he doesn't eat anything.
The two maids looked at the "bold" Shade with some blame. Shade didn't pay attention to them. Miss Princes's body was not injured too much, and she always had the [Youth Leaves] in her mouth. She was just mentally injured.
The damage is severe, so there is no need for a filling meal.
"Don't speak yet."
Shade whispered, and after reciting the incantation softly, a layer of silver moon light appeared on his palm. This is [Scindia's Silver Moon Gift], which is specially used to treat mental damage at night.
Carefully placing her hand on Miss Prince's forehead, the red-haired girl finally couldn't restrain her sleepiness and fell asleep in the slightly awed eyes of others on the boat.
Unlike Shade, she had been in the bottom cabin for so long, even if she just stood still, her spirit had been greatly affected. In addition, she had eaten the food of desire, and being able to survive until now showed that she was strong.
Her mental strength is also extremely strong. At this moment, she was clinging to Sha De. After the physical and mental wounds were erased one by one, she finally fell asleep uncontrollably.
And when Miss Princes woke up again, she could already see the docks of Coldwater Port City in the distance. The familiar firelight of civilization made the princess who had just experienced the adventure dissipate a lot of the depressed feeling in her heart.
She was covered with a blanket, and what she saw when she opened her eyes was the vast dazzling galaxy above her head. She felt the sea breeze, felt the rocking ship, heard the sound of the waves, and then realized whose arms she was leaning on, and then she felt that it was very soft.
.I stood up and saw that it was my maid.
The boat had already entered the harbor area. The boatman held up the kerosene lamp and shook it. The inspection boat immediately avoided the signal. But looking around, Shade was no longer on the boat. She wrapped a blanket around her body and raised her hand to signal the maids.
Don't worry. After sleeping, she felt much better.
"Where's Shade?"
Her face was serious and her tone was a little cold. It wasn't that she was angry with Shade for leaving, but she was used to acting like this in front of servants.
He stood up and looked towards the night of Lengshui Port City. Although it was already late at night, the harbor was still illuminated by gas lights, and the shadows of ships and buildings could not obscure the light of civilization. Lengshui Port City under the sea of stars was extremely shocking at this moment.
"Your Highness, that gentleman jumped into the sea and left five minutes ago. He said that the way to disembark from the boat would be closer to the direction he went back. He also said that he would come to see you on Wednesday the day after tomorrow."
The older maid said softly.
The sea breeze blew the young girl's hair, and the long hair dyed golden through the magic potion has completely returned to the unique red color of the royal family.
The color of the lipstick has long faded in the water, the slightly pale lips moved, and the green eyes looked towards the harbor:
"What else did he say?"
The boatman lowered his head and steered the boat with the middle-aged man. The two maids looked at each other, and finally the older maid lowered her head and said:
"He said, ask His Highness to help renew the room in the name of John Watson at the Golden Rose Hotel on Hoglenz Avenue. We will meet at the door of the hotel on Wednesday morning. He asked you to send someone to report the matter about the return of the Ritual Sea and the evil god.
Inform the church and try to be as invisible as possible... He has to attend the Feast of Holy Prayer activities tomorrow, so he has no time to come."
Taking a deep breath, Her Royal Highness couldn't help but shake her head:
"It really suits his character, Xia De..."
It could be seen that the older maid was hesitating, but she still said the last words:
"The gentleman said that he knows who you are. Also, he had a great time today and left a gift for you..."
The princess turned and looked at her slightly surprised:
"A gift? The clothes he is wearing were all given to him by me. What kind of gift can he have?"
The two men on the boat desperately wished they were not here at this moment.
The maid lowered her head, carefully took out a small box from the front pocket of her skirt, and whispered:
"The gentleman said that he bought a shell bracelet for a friend in a souvenir shop (note), and bought this for you. I originally wanted to give it to you after the tour guide mission was over, as a commemoration of the encounter between two strangers in a strange city.
.You said you liked this,..."
The maid was afraid to look at the princess, but Lecia Cavendish took the box, opened it, and saw mermaid-shaped ruby earrings inside.
"he......"
Taking that earring, I thought of the exciting encounter in the alley at noon, the gambling cards in the tavern, the chatting on the roadside at the pier, the sunset at the lighthouse on the seaside, the stories of the sea breeze, and
The dance on the deck at night, I thought of looking at each other in the cold cabin, I thought of...
Her long red hair was swaying slightly in the wind, her eyes were slightly narrowed, dimples appeared on her fair face, and the corners of her mouth were raised.
She held her earrings tightly and stood on the boat looking towards the cold water port not far away. She was covered with a blanket and the skirt that had not yet dried was sticking to her body. Although it was very uncomfortable, Lecia Cavendish, Zara
The sorceress of Sven Academy, the third princess of the empire, the red rose of Tobesk, the eternal guardian of Roselle, is in a very good mood at the moment:
"Dorothy, at least this time, I admit that you have really good taste. However, when I fell asleep just now, I didn't ask you to come over and replace me temporarily. You shouldn't be angry, right?"
The ship sailed quietly into the brightly lit Coldwater Harbor. Although it encountered danger, for Her Royal Highness, this was indeed a "Coldwater Harbor Holiday" worth remembering for a lifetime.
In particular, this romantic story that she experienced personally was not a tragedy that she hated (note).
