The Whispering Verses Chapter 760: Three branches of flowers

Chapter 760 Three-branched Flower

The royal guards in uniform were blocking the steps leading to the seats above the auditorium on the south side. Even if there were a lot of people around, it didn't seem to affect them.

In this era of alternation between the new era and the old era, the equipment of the royal guards is also very interesting. There are naturally firearms, but in addition, everyone is wearing heavy armor, holding a spear, and a sharp sword hanging from his waist.

Xia De heard that sometimes MI6 agents also need to temporarily serve as royal guards. He very much hoped that he would not encounter such a task. This equipment felt extremely heavy.

Shad came over with the cat. After the loyal guards asked about his identity and origin, one of them walked up, stopped three seats away from the ladies, and explained to the maid The identity of the visitor.

At this time, a few people had noticed Shade's arrival, so before the guard returned, Queen Diana, Miss Carina, and Tifa behind Miss Carina also shifted their attention from the racecourse to On Shade.

Queen Diana, wearing a hollow silver crown inlaid with rubies, held a feather fan made of colorful feathers today. She put the fan in front of her mouth, tilted her head and whispered to Miss Carina. One sentence made the women nearby laugh.

Xia De naturally got permission to continue walking up. He straightened his clothes and soon reached the upper level of the awning.

Miss Carina wanted to get up and talk to Shade elsewhere, but was stopped by the queen who was clearly over forty years old but still looked youthful and energetic:

"Let the knight sit over here directly."

She ordered.

So, Shade, who originally just wanted to see the world and ask about the sun's items, sat down on Miss Carina's right hand in a daze.

To his right is an empty seat, and to the right is another lady who looks to be in her thirties, and is said to be the daughter of a certain Duke. On Miss Carina's left hand side was Queen Diana. The Queen looked at Shade with great interest:

"Knight Hamilton, long time no see, good day. Do you have anything important to do with our Duchess?"

She put her hand on Miss Carina's shoulder very affectionately. The witch showed no expression.

"Good day, your highness, good day, Miss Carina. I cleaned up the house some time ago, thanks to Miss Carina's help. Today I brought wine to the manor to visit her to express my gratitude. The manor housekeeper told me, Miss Carina is here, I hope my visit is not particularly presumptuous."

As he spoke, Shade put his hand into the inner pocket of his coat. After his hand paused for two seconds, under Queen Diana's interested gaze, he took out two withered roses. Hold it with the little finger, ring finger and **** of your right hand, and hold the two beautiful flowers between your thumb and index finger.

Because I couldn’t see the details of my pocket, the two flowers I took out, one red and one white, were not exactly the same:

"To two beautiful ladies."

He said with a smile, and the red-haired duchess finally showed a smile:

"Knight, this is the first time you have brought me flowers. Although they look stale, they are not bad."

Although the queen has a higher status, as the elder, Miss Carina still chose the red rose first, while Queen Diana took the white rose.

Both women looked happy, and Shade smiled and put his hand down. His gesture just now was awkward because there was a small flower-like pendant toy sandwiched between the little finger, ring finger and **** of his right hand.

At this time, I lowered my hand and gently touched the inside of the hem, and another red rose appeared.

Xia De quietly reached out his hand behind him and handed the flower from the gap between the seats to the back. On the surface, he still talked to the queen with a polite smile.

Standing behind was Tifa. The maid was originally paying attention to the banter between the Queen and Miss Carina, but out of the corner of her eye she saw a flower slowly stretching out from below. It was Shade's hand, and his fingers even hooked, signaling Tifa to take the flowers away.

The maid's black eyes glanced at Shade, who was talking to the queen. If they hadn't seen the small movements of his hand, no one would have thought that he handed out the flower.

Looking left and right, he quickly bent down and took the flower from Shade's hand. With his left hand behind his back, he slowly twisted the flower branches, and a smile that he tried to control appeared on his fair face.

"Knight, I often hear my daughter talking about you recently."

Queen Diana said, her eyes looking at the horses running on the racecourse again. Shade was shocked. Just as he was about to explain his relationship with Lesia, he heard Miss Carina interrupt:

"What did little Agelina say about Shad?"

"Agelina recently complained to me that she invited the Knight of Hamilton to her salon many times, but Mr. Knight always found reasons to shirk."

This is a bit unfair to Shade. Apart from Agelina saying she wanted to invite him every time she met Lesia, he had never received any written invitation. Moreover, he is really busy this fall, and there are too many things happening at Fort Midhill.

"The detective has a lot of commissioned work. He has recently received a big deal, and the commission left by Uncle Sparrow still needs to be completed."

Shad said apologetically, wondering why Agelina always mentioned him:

"Of course, I still want to express my apology. I will not refuse Her Royal Highness the Princess's next invitation."

"Agelina will probably be very happy. Speaking of which, Mr. Hamilton, you are not young anymore. I remember you are not married yet? Oh, then you should participate in more activities like this. People like you I think a handsome and excellent gentleman is very popular in the eyes of the ladies of the capital."

This topic made the surrounding ladies also participate in it with great interest. Only Miss Carina gave the Queen a strange look, and now almost everyone had heard the ridiculous rumor that Shade was her "lover".

"There is no rush to get married. I have even heard of local aristocrats who got married in their thirties."

Shad said while teasing Mia. Although Mia was a little worried about the unfamiliar environment, since Shad was still around, she wouldn't be scared.

"Those are just a few examples."

The queen suddenly smiled, then turned to ask Shade:

"Knight, can you ride a horse?"

"Of course."

Xia De wanted to shake his head.

"Yes."

Miss Carina helped him finish the next sentence, and then, in Shade's surprised eyes, helped him take over the next thing:

"Why don't we let Shade go down there and ride a horse for a lap."

The witch said, it didn’t look like she was joking, because she had turned to look at her maid:

"Tifa, take Shade to choose a horse. I hope he can choose a suitable mount."

As he spoke, he "took" little Mia from Shade's arms, and then gave him a look.

"Okay, miss."

Tifa said softly, and at the same time, Marquise Flamel, who was sitting in the front row, also stood up and arranged for the servants to follow them to choose horses.

"This is really interesting, let's add some bonuses."

Queen Diana said:

"Knight, if you can win the top three in the next round, this fan will be given to you. As a thank you gift for that beautiful white rose."

The feather fan should be made of ivory bone, and the pendant is a purple gem. Roughly estimated, the value will not be less than three digits, which is equivalent to a special rules Rhodes card.

"That's a good idea, Shad, if you can cross the finish line first three"

The witch shook her finger:

"This ring is yours."

On her hand was a golden ring, with traces of enlightenment elements that were so subtle that no one except Shade could find them. This should be some kind of alchemical item, but I don’t know its specific function.

"Okay, ladies, please look forward to my performance."

Shad, who couldn't ride a horse at all, stood up pretending to be calm and followed Tifa and the servants of the Flamel family down, preparing to go to the stables to choose horses.

"It's okay, don't be nervous."

The Flamel family maid walked in the front, Shade was in the middle, and Tifa was slightly behind. She spoke in Shade's ear in a very soft voice, obviously understanding the witch's intention:

"Your Highness Agelina is King Larus III, and is preparing to be used as a **** in a political marriage. The Queen is testing your relationship. In order to prevent you from saying the wrong thing, she even exposed your relationship with His Highness Lesia, Miss. I will ask you to leave temporarily."

"But I really can't ride a horse."

He pretended to look at the people in the stands opposite and said softly.

Last time, Tifa only taught him how to mount a horse and maintain the correct posture on the horse. He really didn't know how to ride a horse.

"It's okay, please take this."

Tifa slipped a metal charm into Shade's hand without leaving any trace:

"Take this, it will make the animal docile, at least it won't let you fall."

"And then"

"Remember the riding tips I taught you last time."

"That's just the theoretical part."

"Yes, that's enough. A well-trained racehorse won't embarrass you."

Tifa’s voice paused:

"I will do tricks on the other horse's hooves, delay the [lame curse], at least you will not be the last one."

But Shade was still worried. Losing to a lame horse seemed even more embarrassing.

The next step is to go to the rather large stables and choose a horse that can serve as a mount. Since Shad didn't know how to ride a horse, Tifa chose the maroon Drarion Highlander horse, which had a more docile temperament, for him.

It was a mare, and when Shade approached it, she was eating fodder with her head down. When Shade slapped it with the charm, the horse just glanced at him, as if blaming Shade for disturbing the meal, but had no other reaction.

Of course, Shade would like to find a horse with the color of little Mia. But in this world, there is no orange horse as bright as the sun.

"I wonder if I can find the relic ring that makes little Mia grow bigger in the future. It seems good to ride a giant cat. That cat is very courageous when facing animals that are smaller than itself and about the same size, as well as animals of the same species. ”

Watching the Flamel family's maids and grooms talking uneasily, Shade was thinking about messy things.
