The Whispering Verses Chapter 1169: “Pocket money” and plans
Chapter 1169 "Pocket Money" and Plan
Although the foreign knight and the beautiful princess performed many "dramas" in the box of the opera house that could not be told to others, this time they really watched the opera together, so not only the gas lights in the box were still on Agelina and little Mia are also there.
This cat, who is about to turn one year old, is currently on the coffee table, playing with a green apple rolling around with its little paws, while the little princess is sitting on the left end of the sofa, looking like she is watching an opera. But in fact, he was listening to the conversation between Shade and his sister.
"My people have already connected with Margaret Anjou's people. I really didn't expect that the princess still has that kind of goods."
Lesia was dressed up tonight, wearing a sparkling ruby crown on her head and a ruby earring on her left and right ears. One is a sage-level relic, the curse-breaking stone, and the other is the ruby that Shade gave when he was in Coldwater Port City.
"The business between me and that princess will probably be very big. Shade, I'm considering whether to give you a broker's commission. I remember that you are short of money recently, aren't you?"
"No, don't give me money. I just sent you a letter. Who told Mang that I was short of money?"
Shad asked curiously, Lesia blinked her eyes, and said as the singing voice sounded again below:
"I noticed that you have been very sensitive to the topic of gold pounds recently. I stayed at your place overnight four days ago on the weekend. When we talked about the decoration of your second floor room on the bed, you showed great concern about the price. Very high sensitivity."
Agelina's ears moved, obviously hearing something interesting.
"Have I not always been like this? Besides, I also have a box of gems I got from Huntington, along with the arrow I used to stab you. Those gems are very valuable."
Xia De said with certainty. Lecia shook her head slightly and looked at Sha De with annoyance:
"Knight, please don't lie to me. Earlier last week, when your fortune teller and I met at your house in the middle of the night, she mentioned to me that you were doing it for 'Tobesk. I have been arguing with my client about the commission issue of "The Haunting of a Country House". Her pajamas are very beautiful."
That night, Dorothy was actually at Shade's place, while Luvia was doing horoscopes on the third floor. Dorothy got up to drink water, while Luvia went to the first floor to rest. The two of them spoke a few words in the living room.
Agelina's little ears moved again, apparently attracted by words such as "Miss Fortune Teller and I", "Midnight" and "Pajamas".
"It's not that the client didn't want to pay the commission, it was just that after the incident was resolved, the client, Viscount Victor, and his immediate family members were almost all arrested by Ridwich Field, so he wanted to renege on the payment promised in the contract. My money, and claimed that I would never pay anyone to send myself and my friend’s family to jail.”
Xia De nodded:
"The old gentleman was very dissatisfied with this. Fortunately, Ridwich Field upheld justice and allowed me to pick out antiques at will to offset the detective fees before raiding his manor. Oh, Lesia, me too I just did what I should do as an ordinary citizen.”
Lecia covered her mouth and smiled like a lady:
"You are now the most famous detective in Tobesk. I did not expect that you would encounter so many major cases in a row, as well as the group of stupid thieves who dug tunnels to enter the warehouse of Yodel Palace."
She picked up a small segment of the orange that had been peeled off on the coffee table, peeled off another segment, twisted it with her slender fingers, and stretched it to Shade's mouth:
"But how many gold pounds are those commission fees? If I remember correctly, at the end of the year, it was me, the blonde writer lady and the fortune teller lady who spent the night together at your place."
"Ahem~"
The little princess who was drinking tea choked on the water and coughed violently. The personal maid standing by the wall immediately came over and patted her back. Lesia frowned and looked over:
"Ajelina, you will be seventeen years old in a while, how come you choke on drinking water in public?"
"Hug~ahem~sorry, sister."
The little princess lowered her head and whispered, so Lesia continued her conversation with Shade:
"On the morning of the first day of the new year, when we were having breakfast together at your home, you complained that you had obviously been promoted to the fifth ring, but you did not have enough funds to buy yourself a new thaumaturgy."
"Actually, I have enough thaumaturgy now, and because of the academic year reward, the library also allows me to choose thaumaturgy for free."
Xia De said with some embarrassment that he knew that the so-called "broker commission" that Lesia was going to pay him was actually "pocket money" for him.
Just like Miss Carina, before she left, she placed a large sum of cash in the manor's study for Shade to use, but Shade didn't touch a single note. He would not spend the girls' money without any reason. .
【Pathetic self-esteem. 】
"She" whispered softly in Shade's ear, but Shade just pretended not to hear.
"Okay, but if you need anything, you can always come to me. I don't know why you are so polite to me."
Lecia whispered in a low voice, and after Shade ate the orange slice she handed her, she asked Shade to feed her a slice as well.
"I remember you said last time that you would sell a batch of contraband in the New World, I mean in-demand goods, and let Margaret sell them in Carsonlik. This time I will take the road to Cold Water Port. ”
Xia De asked while peeling oranges to prevent Her Royal Highness from bringing up the topic of giving him money again. Little Mia turned her head and glanced at Shade, but she was not interested in the pungent smell of oranges.
"Cold Water Port is currently investigating smuggling. After all, it is the beginning of the year, you know. This time I took the road from the Spring City of Kasenlik to Randall Valley City. Although I went directly to Kasenlik from the New World , the journey across the sea is a bit longer, but fortunately it’s a lot safer.”
Lesia bit Shade's finger and let him go after he showed a surprised expression. Then he smiled and pointed to Agelina, who was pretending to watch the opera, but was actually watching here:
"This time, I let Agelina participate in my business. Although she can only provide some principal, Agelina is not young anymore, so she should have some income of her own."
"Randall River Valley. I may go there soon."
Shade said, smelling the perfume on the fiery red hair:
"If there is anything that needs to be dealt with, let me do it."
"Of course, you are polite to me, but I will not be polite to you, my knight. Speaking of which, Margaret Anjou will go to Randall Valley City in the near future, and you should be able to meet her. ."
"Huh?"
Xia De didn’t know anything about this:
"For your business?"
"Of course not, it's Princess Margaret of Anjou and Prince William of Anjou of Carsenlick, who are going to Randall Valley City to participate in the completion and opening of the United Kingdom Navy's Second Southern Dockyard. ."
Shad didn’t quite understand this, so Lesia said to her sister:
"Agelina, let me test you and explain this matter to the knight."
Agelina nodded and her tone became serious:
"William Anjou is the eldest prince of Carsonlik and has been in charge of naval affairs many years ago. Princess Margaret Anjou visited Tobesk at the end of last year and because of the agreement with her father He has made great contributions to the trade agreement, so he has been entrusted with important tasks. However, according to current intelligence and speculation, this trip is also related to the political struggle between the two royal families. The more credible theory is that this is. The shipyard will be completed in a hurry after the end of the year, and it is related to the dispute in the Pantanal region. The king of Kasenlik hopes to gain an advantage at the negotiating table by expanding the navy.
"Negotiation? Pantanal's national borders and trade routes?"
Xia De asked worriedly. Lesia nodded, praised her sister a little, and then said to Sha De:
"It's a pity that I couldn't make you a baron during the investiture season. However, what you did for MI6 cannot be exposed. I will discuss with the princess of the southern country next whether I should let you Make new achievements. The princess of the Southern Kingdom also has her own political enemies."
She seemed to be saying something terrible.
"Looks like we're going to get busy again."
Shad sighed, and Lesia thought for a while and asked:
"If I remember correctly, your time key has been postponed for a long time. Do you have any plans to use it recently?"
Shad couldn't say that he couldn't use the key for any reason, so he told the girls that he "wanted to take a break." The time of punishment was the early morning of the New Year, which was also a Wednesday, and today is also a Wednesday, which happens to be the last day of two weeks:
"I plan to postpone the key matter until Sunday. I am used to starting at that time. After half a month of rest, I have to start activities."
Shad turned his neck slightly. His next stop was the "City of Spring" - Randall Valley City. Luvia in the dream pointed out that in this city, there was the only key that could lead to the afterlife... The time key of the Sixth Age. In order to figure out what happened in the past and what will happen in the future, Shade must get the key, and the sooner the better.
"Speaking of which, the next Red Butterfly Day is approaching. Do you have any plans?"
Tonight is the date with Lesia. Shade temporarily put those worries behind his mind and asked Her Highness the Princess again. Lesia shook her head regretfully:
"Dorothy said that this Red Butterfly Day has been temporarily cancelled. She has been very busy recently. Winning the Kingdom Popular Literature Award has really made our writer famous. Moreover, she is very concerned about her final examination results. I’m quite dissatisfied with my results. I’m currently busy reading and studying. The summer exam week is still far away. Really.”
Although she was half-complaining, she also agreed with Dorothy's choice.
"Cancelled? Postponed until when?"
"Agelina's birthday party early next month."
Lecia glanced at her sister:
"When the three of us meet again, will you still remember the wedding banquet at Lakeview Manor? Instead of a low-quality three-person date, it is better to make every meeting a memory that can be remembered for a lifetime."
Her words were entangled with the high-pitched singing on the stage, and the look in her eyes seemed to melt Shade.
Shad has no objection to this. Although Agelina has some small objections, she will not say them out.
Only when they bid farewell to Shade at the opera house that night, and the princesses were riding in a carriage back to the Yodel Palace under the protection of the royal guards, the little princess hesitantly asked her sister:
"Sister, from now on, if your party with many people is short of people and your friends can't arrive, you can call me."
Lecia thought for several seconds before she understood what she meant, so her face turned red, half angry and half embarrassed, and she flicked her sister's forehead with her finger:
"After I go back, I will ask my personal maid to check whether you have read any unhealthy books recently. Oh, Agelina, a lady of the royal family, would not say such things."
