The Whispering Verses Chapter 2215: The arrival of the unicorn
Chapter 2215 The Arrival of the Unicorn
Although the number of mermaid princesses in the fairy tale "The Mermaid Princess" varies in different versions, there is definitely more than one. It's just that except for the protagonist who finally turns into a bubble and disappears, the other princesses are marginal characters.
"No problem, what dragon? Are there dragons in this story? Why didn't I know?"
Shad asked again, and the smile on Dorothy's blushing face became even brighter:
"This is a script I adapted, of course I have the final say. And it is definitely not appropriate to perform an opera in which the princess dies at the king's birthday party. The ending needs to be slightly changed. Don't worry, you just need to You only have one appearance, and there are only a few lines. You don’t even need to rehearse in advance. When the time comes, I will arrange for you to appear.
"Yeah, no problem."
That is Lesia’s father after all, so of course Shade must show respect:
"So what gift should I give?"
"We'll make the arrangements, so you don't have to worry. Lecia has specially designed a beautiful costume for herself. You will be satisfied with it on Tuesday night."
She smiled ambiguously, and Xia De immediately understood what they wanted to do:
"Speaking of which, I got a new [Eternal Youth Leaf] yesterday, which just makes up for the one you consumed for me a few days ago."
With gentle pressure on her palms, the writer snorted, lowered her head and kissed her again:
"Okay. Lecia just said that we will check the effect of the new leaf tonight. This is also a way for you to warm up in advance for Tuesday."
"Meow~"
Little Mia, who was lying on the desk, looked at them with wide eyes, wondering why Shade didn't touch it all night.
(Little Mia is running.)
Early on Sunday morning, Dorothy sang and prepared breakfast for Shade and little Mia. After the family had breakfast, Shade took little Mia to Moon Bay.
As for why I brought the cat, of course it was to appease the little unicorn who might be uneasy because he was in a strange place.
Yuewan seems to always have gloomy weather shrouded in dark clouds. Even in Tobesk, the "Steam City", there is bright sunlight at eight o'clock in the morning, but Yuewan is as dark as if the sun has just risen.
When he entered the city, Shade bought a newspaper before getting on the carriage. When he was flipping through the news, he unexpectedly found that the joke he made a few days ago came true. The city hall actually "save gas" For this reason, citizens are called on to light up the gas lamps in their homes as little as possible on all nights this summer.
Astonished, Shade flipped back through the newspaper and found two unusual obituaries. It was unusual because the obituary did not specify the cause of death. The identities of the deceased were a cousin of a baron and a Delarian translator working at a foreign trade company.
"Did two dead people appear in one night?"
It seems that things are getting worse faster than Shade thought.
Early on Sunday morning, of course Miss Belindel had not left the house yet. After hearing from the maids that the man had arrived at the gate of the manor, she sent someone down to greet him and asked her head maid if there was anything wrong with her attire at this time.
When Shade came to the study, the witch first gave him a hug, and then asked with a smile:
"You don't usually come to my place so early. Look, it's just past eight-thirty. What else have you encountered that you need my help with?"
"This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. You have a vacant room here. Can you temporarily accommodate one person? There are also pets."
So the witch lady with the fat-red birthmark on her eyebrows looked at Shade holding the cat with a smile:
"Are you asking if I can prepare a room for you here? Of course, my manor is very large and life here is quite comfortable."
"No, not for me, but for another girl."
Because he was worried that she would misunderstand, Xia De immediately added:
"Remember the malicious elf girl I mentioned a few days ago? For some reasons, I have to arrange her local residence. So I thought. Of course, she must live here. She will pay the room fee, which is approved by St. Byrons and can be reimbursed. However, if she lives here, she may know your identity as a ring wizard. Although I can guarantee that she will never tell it, but if you are very If you don’t mind this, I can look for something else”
"Wait a moment."
Bella Belindel raised her hand to interrupt Shade and confirmed seriously:
"Can I understand that the elf girl wants to stay with me for a week with a baby unicorn?"
Even Miss Matilda suddenly looked at Shade, and Shade nodded:
"It's probably like this, a week at the fastest and less than half a month at the slowest. And there are dangers here. Do you remember the curse I mentioned?"
But the countess doesn’t want to talk about this, or she is confident that she will not let the curse harm other people in the house:
"Bring it here."
She stretched out her hand to Xia De, and Xia De asked puzzledly:
"What? Oh, rent?"
As he was about to dig into his pocket, the witch patted him gently:
"Why are you pretending to be stupid with me? Who cares about your few coins? Unicorn! Where is the unicorn? I want to see it now!"
It was not difficult to see the little unicorn right away. After obtaining Miss Belindle's permission, Shade set out with her to the basement of the manor and took a picture of a corner of the basement with a camera.
After the photos were developed immediately using special means, the six photos were sent to St. Byrons. A minute later, the door opened in the basement. The blond witch holding a handkerchief looked at Shade expectantly, and Shade took little Mia into the door.
Soon, the closed door was pushed open from the other side. First, a golden unicorn appeared from the other end of the door, and then the head of the unicorn with a timid expression. Then, the horse with hair all over its body appeared. The little beast, which was emitting a holy white light, walked through the door and came here with great discomfort.
The same small cat stood on the back of the unicorn "Little Leanna", and Shade behind the door waved goodbye to Miss Daniste, and then passed through the door and returned to the basement.
The six photos were then sent back, but the great witch of fate could no longer care about the photos at this time. She looked at the little beast in surprise and surprise, and her body even trembled slightly. Shade felt that the satin handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn apart by her.
"Ang~"
The little beast rubbed against Shade's body as if to hide behind Shade, feeling strange and worried about everything around him. But even though it is still a juvenile, its body length is far larger than the standard adult male human body shape, so this appearance only makes it look more endearing.
Miss Belindel bit her lip, and then asked Shade excitedly:
"This is the unicorn? More beautiful than the photos and description! What's her name, oh, is she hungry, can I touch her?"
Shad reached out and touched the hair on its back. Emilia had said before that this was a way of expressing closeness to the unicorn. The reliability of this method is also proven by the knowledge about the witch reverberations in the Fifth Age:
"This is little Liana. I have its daily food here. When Emilia comes here, Emilia will be responsible for feeding it. As for whether it can be petted, it depends on its own ideas."
In addition to Shade and the Witch, there are also the three most loyal maids including Miss Matilda in the basement. The girls all looked at the little beast glowing in the dark basement with bright eyes. It was more beautiful than they imagined, and it really seemed like it had stepped out of myths and stories.
The azure eyes showed more timidity, and the countess felt her heart melting as she stood timidly behind Shade. She carefully took two steps forward, and after making sure that the little beast was not actively dodging, she slowly placed her hand on its glowing hair.
"Unicorn!"
The joy shown on the countess's face at this time was something Shade had never seen before. She gently stroked the little beast that was gradually adapting to the environment here, and then asked Xiang Shade:
"What kind of accommodation environment does it need? How soft a bed does it need to sleep on? Does it need to be bathed every day? How many maids do you think I should arrange to take care of it?"
"Well, it's not that exaggerated. Just let Emilia take care of it. She is very professional and looks after an entire unicorn group in the academy. Moreover, it is best not to let other people come into contact with it too much."
In fact, it is to prevent too many people from coming into contact with the unlucky elf girl and causing misfortune.
The countess nodded slightly, and then looked eagerly at the cat on the unicorn's back. Now that she has seen a unicorn, of course she wants to try riding one. She could even imagine herself riding a unicorn and taking Shade to meet the other witches.
Of course, this is not possible. Just like little Mia will choose who can hold it, the unicorns will also carefully choose who can ride them, and currently this qualification only belongs to Emilia and Shade.
The train Amelia and the three are traveling on is expected to arrive at Yuewan North Railway Station around 10 a.m. this Sunday. Hearing that Shade was going to pick up the car, Miss Belindell arranged a carriage for him.
Of course the little unicorn cannot go with Xia De. Although the academy has prepared sufficient hidden spells and special alchemy props for it that can make the entire building disappear smoothly from people's sight, Xia De De still thinks it is better to let it stay in the manor. There are not necessarily fewer "capable people" in Yuewan than Tobesk. Once discovered, it will be in big trouble.
Of course, when Shade was preparing to set off, he was still a little worried that the "nefarious" witch would do something to the little beast while he was gone. But after thinking about it later, Miss Belindel was only a little excited because she saw a unicorn for the first time. She is still a very good lady.
So the carriage carried Shade away from the gate of the manor, and the smiling witch in the manor took an apple and approached the pure white beast who looked blankly at the new room.
PS: I tried to draw a unicorn, but the one that came out at first was either the Azur Lane unicorn or My Little Pony.
