The Whispering Verses Chapter 1841: Margaret’s Apprenticeship

After greeting the doctor, Shade took a carriage to the city on the other side of the lake. Every time I take a carriage and pass by the army camp near Crossroads Village, I can see a different scene. When I arrived at the camp at sunset today, I was surprised to find that most of the expansion of the camp has been completed, and it is obvious that the soldiers in the camp have become more numerous. too much.

Continuing to walk inside, I was surprised to find that there was another small camp outside the exit leading to the Kasenlik side of the camp.

"Yankee Barracks."

Captain Rades, who came over to greet Shade, said, standing with Shade, watching the soldiers on the north and south sides busy strengthening the camp fortifications under the setting sun.

At this time, simple towers made of metal pipes and metal buckles have been built in the camps on both sides to facilitate detection at high altitudes. Moreover, Shade noticed that not only the side leaving Delarion had to be inspected, but also the side entering Kasenlik had to be inspected.

"I remember, wasn't the camp of the Kasonlik people one mile to the southeast?"

"The same goes for us when we temporarily increase troops. It is said to be an order from the big shots in the royal capital as a way to show a tough attitude towards negotiations."

The captain shook his head:

"Detective, the recent situation is very strange. Although it is calm on the surface, even the lower-level soldiers can see that this escalating confrontation will definitely cause problems. You should be careful over there in Michaela Blast Furnace City Some people who hear about Delrayon's appearance will be insulted and abused there."

Xia De is not worried about this:

"In addition to accepting new soldiers and expanding the camp, have you received any other orders recently?"

The captain did not hide it from Shade:

"Strengthen vigilance, and do not take the initiative to shoot to the south without permission. Also, increase the intensity of searching for spies, and require soldiers on patrol missions to wear firearms and a certain amount of bullets. In Delrayon Within the territory, we have been given limited powers to fire."

Shad did not ask Captain Rades if he thought there would really be a situation in the Green Lake area that required the use of firearms. This question was meaningless.

Although Kasenric also set up an inspection gate on the other side of the crossroads military camp, fortunately their inspection was not as strict as Delrayon's, and Shade was allowed to pass after just a few questions.

He then took a carriage to the city and successfully found the local "Glass Bottle Theater" in the big city on the south bank of the lake. The visit of the "Golden Dawn Opera Troupe", which is famous throughout the Old World, aroused the enthusiasm of the citizens. On the carriage, Shade heard the coachman mention that it was difficult to buy tickets tonight.

Even though Miss Vanessa Benenice has not performed on stage for many years, the reputation of the Golden Dawn Opera Company is still astonishing.

Margaret arranged in advance for the maid to wait for Shade on the first floor, and took Shade to the box on the fourth floor through the hidden staircase on the side of the opera house.

Miss Benenice and Siris had to manage the backstage, so they did not show up. Audrey, who came with Miss Sylvia at noon, was not here either.

"Teacher Sylvia is not coming tonight. She said that there is a very interesting space folding phenomenon in the east of the city, which causes the matter in the two spaces to completely overlap, resulting in a high-density Alloy, she's going to investigate. Miss Edwards went with the teacher, but she said she would be only half an hour late and would be here soon."

Margaret said to Shade, Shade nodded and didn’t care:

"I saw on the sign downstairs that tonight's play is "Lovers in the Bell Tower"?"

"Yes, Miss Carina said that you have been studying this fairy tale recently, and Miss Benanis specially arranged this performance."

The blond princess was in great spirits. After Shade sat down, she winked at Shade, then she slightly leaned in and kissed the side of Shade's face:

"Is this the first time we've been alone together since arriving in the Green Lake area?"

"Yes, every time we meet, it's so busy."

"I thought you would bring your cat with you. Oh, come and have a drink with me."

She waved the maids to go out first, and then poured two glasses of red wine herself. Although Shade didn't like drinking, low-alcohol red wine was okay.

After clinking glasses, both of them took a sip, and the blonde princess's face turned red.

"Margaret, how does it feel to be a witch's apprentice?"

"It's a little different from what I thought, but I can really learn a lot. Miss Benanis is very good to me, and Miss Lassers has been helping me. But to be honest, I feel that my talent It’s really bad.”

Although she expressed her worry in her words, she actually hugged Shade's arm:

"I can't compare with Duke Carina's maid. Both teachers spoke highly of Miss Servitt. Sometimes I have nightmares, in which Teacher Benanis and Miss Lassers discovered, In fact, I was not suitable to be a witch apprentice at all, so I was expelled from the council."

She said these words partly because she wanted to start a suitable topic, and partly because she really wanted to express her troubles. When she was in Willendale City, Her Royal Highness had no one to whom she could say these words.

So Shade chatted with her about other witch apprentices he knew. He was not very familiar with Miss Aurora's niece, but he was not familiar with Miss Rita Swift from Cassandra's mother-in-law. But very familiar.

As the two chatted, Margaret unknowingly kicked off her high heels and sat sideways on the sofa. Shade originally talked about his views on witches and witch apprentices, and wanted to see what Margaret had learned recently.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the smiling eyes of the blonde princess were getting closer and closer to him. Fortunately, the human race has a "nose", so before her eyes hit Shade's eyes, the blonde princess tilted her head slightly and kissed Shade.

Shad didn't know when the opera started on the stage below the box, but at least he knew that Margaret had indeed lost some weight compared to the last time they met.

Her Royal Highness the Princess has been under great pressure in recent months. Although she and Shade had several correspondences, it was only when they actually met and were alone that the suppressed feelings in her heart really burst out.

Of course she would not have her first private affair with Shade in a place like this, but there was still excessive intimacy and tenderness. The two hugged, and Shade listened to Margaret talk about what happened in Willendale in the past two months, and the new power she had gained. Margaret is also a ring magician who is good at "enlightenment" power, but unlike Lesia and Dorothy, her core spiritual runes [Earth], [Doll] and [Poet] allow her to choose to manipulate puppets, so she always She carries a doll she made herself with her.

After becoming a witch apprentice and coming into contact with the power of memory from Siris, she is trying to make a doll out of clay and use the threads of memory to give the doll power, even to the point where it is almost the same as a living person. It was difficult, but it was enough for her to study the path to the Thirteenth Ring Road.

In addition to this knowledge, after she became a witch's apprentice, she also learned many incredible secrets about the witch council. Because she has seen more and knows more, she can better understand what Shade has been doing:

"Knight~"

He kissed Shade's neck gently, his eyes were a little blurry, and his messy blond hair half covered Shade's face. Compared to the red-haired princess, the blond princess from the southern country is more enthusiastic but more reserved.

Her arms were already wrapped around Shade's neck, listening to Shade's response to every word she said. The topic shifted from the life of the witch's apprentice to the current situation. Margaret actually didn't want to talk about this, because she couldn't determine the direction of the next negotiation in Green Lake:

"Did your princess say anything?"

"Lecia was very disappointed that she could not come to Green Lake, but she also knew that her father could not let her participate in everything. As for this negotiation, Lecia did not express her opinion, and she probably also Wait and see.”

"Actually, there are more people who are eager to start a controllable local war than those who are eager for peace. However, I heard that the church is lobbying the two countries to suspend negotiations, and the newspaper plans to publicize it among the people. This."

She kissed Shade again. This time, she didn't even care about the etiquette of a royal lady. She covered Shade's legs with her skirt and let herself sit sideways in Shade's arms.

"I've already thought about it."

She whispered in Shade’s ear:

"Now the Duke and my brother are excluding me from participating in the next few important negotiations. In this case, I will simply withdraw on my own initiative. I have a hunch that no matter what the outcome of this negotiation, people in the future will not give Instead of leaving a good name in the history books, I should focus on helping the two teachers and deal with other difficult things."

Since the Battle of Randall's Valley, Margaret seems to have had some changes in her views on her own life and the world as a whole. Shade understood what she meant and nodded gently:

"That's fine. You can learn a lot by following Miss Bernanise. And if you withdraw from the negotiations, those hidden assassins will not pay attention to you."

"You care about me, knight?"

"Yes, isn't that what it should be?"

Margaret, who was wearing lipstick that Shade couldn’t tell was red, showed a bright smile. Listening to the passionate soprano voice coming from outside the box, she bit her lower lip and asked in Shade’s ear. Road:

"Have you and the teacher, I mean Teacher Sylvia, ever been like this in the afternoon when I came back from the meeting and the study room was filled with fabric boxes?"

What followed was a short sentence that only two people could hear.

Xia De was a little surprised that the princess of the royal family could actually say such words:

"This is the privacy of Miss Sylvia and I. I cannot say it without her permission."

The blonde princess’s eyes were full of smiles as she reached out to the top button of Shade’s shirt:

"Then give it a try."
