The Whispering Verses Chapter 1526: Early morning with heavy rain
Kacha!
Thunder flashed across the sky above Tobesk, and the first rain of this spring, which started on Tuesday evening, continued into Wednesday morning. But this is a good thing. Every rain in spring is very important in this era when most people are still struggling to make ends meet.
At 8:30 in the morning on Wednesday, raindrops hit the windows and made a rhythmic sound. Although it was a bit cold outside, the mansion in Carina Manor was still warm and dry as usual.
The gas lamp is still turned on even during the day, allowing the dim early morning scenery to remain outside the house. When the witch walked into the restaurant with the maids after washing, she immediately saw Lesia sitting at the dining table, using a fork to poke the frosted pancakes on the plate.
Carina Cavendish's brisk steps paused instinctively, then with a smile on her lips, she continued walking into the restaurant and sat down opposite Lesia.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had arrived early in the morning, also looked up at her, looked at the witch's outfit, looked at the gorgeous red dress, the diamond earrings on her ears, and her fair and rosy skin, and then lazily said:
"As much as I hate to admit it, you look several years younger."
"Little Lecia, you say this as if I were very old."
The duchess smiled and said to her grandniece as the maids pushed the dining cart to bring her breakfast.
Shad left around seven o'clock, and when she asked Tifa to help her put on makeup and hair in the bedroom, the witch certainly noticed that she seemed to be looking younger and more beautiful. Therefore, I spent a little longer in front of the mirror to put on makeup this morning than before. Even if the witches are unrivaled in beauty, no one would not like to become younger and more beautiful.
Not only her appearance, she was also quite proud of her decision and actions yesterday, but she didn't know how to show it "normally". When Tifa brought the cup with hot milk to the table, Miss Carina finally thought of a question:
"Lecia, why do you appear here at this time? Is there something important?"
Lesia glanced at her with a scrutinizing gaze:
"Yes, someone stole my things. To be precise, I received a letter from Miss Luvia Anat this morning, and she asked me to come here to take a look. I guessed at that time that what happened here What happened?"
Although she didn’t know what happened to Shade yesterday, at least she asked the manor’s maid where Shade slept:
"So, how do you feel?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess asked in a frivolous tone. The witch thought for a while:
"Don't talk like that, Lesia, where is Princess Cavendish's style? But honestly..."
Tapped his finger lightly on the side of his face:
"Very good."
Raindrops were beating on the glass window of the restaurant. Miss Carina nodded after speaking. When she looked at Lesia, the smile on her face became even stronger:
"In other words, pretty good."
"Tsk~"
Lecia made a very unladylike sound. In fact, it was the same as what Miss Carina said to Shade yesterday. Her great-aunt had already contacted her through Dorothy, and the two parties reached an agreement. Agreement, in exchange for certain concessions from the witch, she agreed. After all, Shade promised Lesia to let her know about this in advance.
"Of course it's very good, my vision has never been wrong."
As Lesiya said, she looked at the newspaper on the table again:
"So, we will be a family from now on."
On the front page of the newspaper, the Kingdom's minister of state, the Marquis of Worcester, announced this year's fiscal reform and stimulus package. The page facing outwards writes about the upcoming border negotiations with the United Kingdom of Kasenlik and the 1854 Tour of Torbesk Equestrian Competition.
"A family..."
Carina nodded, but immediately reacted:
"Lecia Cavendish, weren't we a family before?"
"You know what I mean."
Lecia said that since the matter had already happened, she would not say anything more. After all, it was still uncertain who would suffer in this matter. However, she was a little curious about other things, so she lowered her voice and asked, sticking her head out from behind the newspaper:
"I heard from the maid here that you entered the room at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and you didn't even have dinner."
This topic made her blush a little:
"So...you guys...until midnight?"
A blush rose on the witch's face, and the crazy memories of last night's ferocity, passion, rudeness and tenderness also came flooding back:
"Of course not. Shade has just recovered from a serious illness due to the incident in the Randall Valley. How could I ignore his health? Moreover, our knight is too... brave. . Although I am twice as high as him, but... it seems that he really learned a lot of skills from you... It was only at midnight, and then he hugged me and rested together. It feels so warm and reassuring.”
"It's amazing that you can... without having the immortal leaves."
Lecia covered her face with a newspaper, not wanting others to see her expression:
"Xia De doesn't know what thaumaturgy he has learned, but his physical fitness is really amazing."
This sentence reminded the maids present of the astonishing scene of "giving their heart" yesterday afternoon.
"No wonder you like to be with that writer lady..."
The duchess was mumbling.
Lecia then looked at Tifa behind Carina:
"I thought you would find someone to help. Knights serving the royal family sometimes need the tenderness of princesses. Don't just think about yourself."
The black-haired maid has an expressionless face and acts as a personal maid.
Carina looked behind her, then shook her head slightly:
"This is not what you said. I remember that you didn't like sharing since you were a child. However, I told Shade last night that for my apprentice and personal maid, he only needs to refrain from the last step and flirt occasionally. I don’t care. Lesia, you are still young, and you can’t just give men whatever they want.”
But in fact, the above reasons are all lies. This is actually to "retaliate" for what the maid and her lover did in the bedroom during her "business trip" to the Pantanal at the end of last year. .
"Just figure it out for yourself. I hope you won't regret this decision."
Lecia shook her head, she knew how powerful the black-haired maid was:
"Also, I'm curious about what you asked Shade to do before four o'clock yesterday? I heard from Luvia that he had spared a day yesterday to prepare to help you, so why did he end up on your g ”
"I asked the knight, the duchess who served him, to offer treasures. The endless fountain of wine, the Holy Grail, the philosopher's stone, the king's crown and his heart."
Thinking of this, the bright smile on the witch’s face couldn’t be suppressed at all:
"Later late at night, I lay in his arms and listened to his heartbeat, and listened to him tell the story of the origins of those treasures. You see, it was fate that gave me instructions. No, it was fate that followed my ideas. ”
"You are so boring."
Lecia said, and then thought about how she had left clues step by step last year for Shade and Dorothy to find, and finally met in the sea of flowers at home:
"But, do you really want to take away so many good things from Shade?"
She asked again, and the witch shook her head coolly:
"Of course not, I just asked him to find it for me to see, and I didn't ask him to give it to me. Do you think I sold myself? Oh, little Lesia, this is not a new-age woman thinking.”
Lecia smiled and continued to read the newspaper and ignored her.
Miss Carina lowered her head and scratched the fried egg with a table knife, and then said:
"However, I did leave three of the five treasures. He took away the Philosopher's Stone and the Crown, which might be useful if he held them; I kept the relic [Bottle of Dionysus] as a souvenir. This matter; he said that he could still make the golden Holy Grail, so I kept it. It had the ancient rune of [Youth] on it, and there was information about it in the council’s information and Shade’s [Secret of Agelessness]. Records may allow me to prepare an elixir of immortality in a certain sense, which is of great research value; finally, and most importantly, I left it last night..."
She met Lesia’s probing gaze and blinked:
"His heart."
The corner of Her Royal Highness the Princess’s mouth twitched:
"Is Shad going to the Randall Valley again? Hurry up and eat, and follow me into the city after dinner."
"He said he would go to Dawn Church to find his priest friend first, and then go to Randall Valley to deal with the last thing. Do you want to invite me to the city? What, do you want to communicate with me? Go shopping for clothes together? Or, go to the opera house? ”
The witch was in a really good mood today. She glanced at the scenery outside the window:
"Since it's raining outside, I think we can plan more indoor activities."
"Of course it's not about communicating feelings. Luvia wants to meet us. Yes, the three of us. Dorothy Louisa has something to do and can't come. The purple-eyed fortune teller is not easy to deal with at all. You stole someone else’s things, have you figured out how to deal with it?”
"Isn't it the same for you?"
Carina Cavendish said, but she did feel a little uneasy in her heart.
Although Luvia Anat's level as a ring wizard is far lower than hers, her background is even lower than that of the Cavendish girls. But facing this soothsayer, she always felt that he was definitely not as simple as he seemed.
What's more, although Shade didn't say it, the epic story of his choice to pursue the Chosen One initially seemed to be related to the mysterious soothsayer.
"I know that you are a witch in the Witch Council. Even if you think that fate allows you to make key decisions, with Shade...will your identity as a witch be okay in the future?"
Lecia suddenly asked again, and the witch nodded:
"At least, I don't feel anything wrong. Apart from being in a good mood now, there is no difference from usual."
Before Shade left this morning, she and Shade even tried to enter the parliament again. Of course, there was no one in the council at such an early time, but experiments have proven that a further relationship with Shade will not affect the witch's power.
She even discussed with Shade in the council, prohibiting Shade from taking his relationship with her any further and revealing it to anyone except Lesia, Dorothy and Luvia, and when meeting other witches, The two of them should keep a certain distance.
The superficial excuse is to prevent them from being too close and their relationship being discovered by the Speaker or other witches whom Shade doesn't know. But the real reason is that once Sylvie Aurora, Vanessa Benanis or Emma Sylvia knew that it was okay to do so, she didn't dare to think about what would happen.
"You'd better hide the smile on your face. I don't know what will happen when I see Luvia later."
Lecia said, and then there was silence on both sides of the dining table for a while. The Cavendishes each ate their own breakfast. Only the occasional footsteps of the maids and the sound of rain outside the window continued.
But in the end, Her Royal Highness couldn't help but be curious, raised her head and asked again:
"Did you try yesterday..."
She made a rather complicated gesture with her hands. The witch looked at it for a while before understanding it, and asked in surprise:
"Have you ever tried this?"
Lecia showed a look of contempt on her face, lowered her head and continued today's breakfast. The duchess looked at her and suddenly smiled, feeling that the days to come would be more and more interesting.
