The Whispering Verses Chapter 2216: Emilia and Moon Bay
Chapter 2216 Emilia and Yuewan
Not accepting food from strangers is what Emilia said more than once when "educating" the little unicorns. Therefore, although Miss Belindel smiled beautifully, the little beast took a small step back, looking frightened.
"Oh, miss, you scared her."
The maids behind them couldn't help but remind their master that the countess did not blame them for speaking, but she wanted to give out her apple more and more.
She got along quite happily with the little unicorn. Although she ultimately failed to get the pure white beast to accept food, at least the other party didn't mind her touch. And when Miss Matilda came to tell Countess Shade half an hour later that she had returned, the witch, who was using a small comb to comb the hair of the little unicorn lying on the cushion with squinted eyes, suddenly realized that time had passed. So fast:
"Let me go and greet you. Since a pure-blood elf wants to live here, I can't let this descendant of the ancient race look down upon him."
As she stood up, Miss Matilda glanced at the little beast with aqua-blue eyes again. The latter stood up slowly and looked at them confusedly. The witch then thought for a while:
"Let her go down with us to greet them. Matilda, you first send away the maids who are not suitable to see it. Oh, isn't it time for lunch? Let the girls arrange the table ”
So when the witch, the head maid and the unicorn stepped on the red carpet and walked along the stairs to the first floor of the manor, they happened to see Shade in a black windbreaker carrying two large suitcases into the manor house. In the foyer, behind him was a timid pointed-eared blonde girl tugging at the hem of his clothes:
"Yeah~little Lianna!"
Emilia looked up at the spacious stairs and immediately screamed in surprise. The little beast who was originally following the witch slowly followed up with a cry of joy, then took four hooves and walked happily up the stairs to the wide foyer, asking Emilia to stretch out her hand. He wrapped his arms around its neck.
"Little Liana, you don't know how much I have missed you in the past half month. Look, Mang? Why have you become fatter after not seeing you for so long?"
"Ang~"
It struggled out of Amelia's arms and wanted to get closer to Shad, but it saw the cat on Shad's shoulder again.
Shade smiled and touched its head, then took the elf girl's hand and walked with her to the stairs, where they met the witch who was slowly walking down the stairs:
"Emilia, let me introduce you. This is Countess Bella Belindel, the owner of this manor. You will stay here for the next few days. I have already contacted Belindel The lady has agreed that accommodation, meals, bathing, and changing of clothes will all be taken care of here. This lady is my friend, so you can stay here without worries."
"Hello, ma'am."
Seeing such a gorgeous human noble, Emilia greeted him softly. During this period, her hand was holding Shade's hand. The countess glanced at the hands held by the two and felt strange inexplicably:
"Hello, Miss Siam Nord. Since you are his friend, then you can treat this place as your home."
Emilia blinked, she also felt strange.
But the witch doesn’t care:
"Go check out the room first, put down your luggage and come to the restaurant for dinner. I hope you like the food in Yuewan City. Do you have any taboos?"
The maid took Shade and Emilia to the room where Emilia was staying temporarily, and the little unicorn naturally followed them. The witch guessed that Shade wanted to talk to Emilia alone, so she ordered the maid in advance not to follow the room. So when the little unicorn followed the two of them into the room, the maid closed the door from the corridor.
Emilia didn't feel there was anything wrong with being alone in a room with Shade. She looked at her new room happily, then ran to the window and looked out at the manor courtyard, then looked at the distant view of Moon Bay, and turned Tou smiled and said to Shade:
"I just saw you picking me up at the train station, and I knew you must have arranged everything for me. It's a pity that Mr. Emhyr and Miss Dras have other tasks and can't come with me. ."
As she spoke, she also touched the soft white hair on the head of the little beast that was close to her.
"As long as you like the accommodation here, you can get used to life in the manor in the past few days, and leave your task to me."
Xia De also smiled and said:
"I heard from Miss Danister that you were surprised to finally come to Moon Bay City, but that's okay, I can take care of you again. But you also know that I appeared in this city. The city means that dangerous things may happen here, but it's not a big problem. Emilia, I hope you can stay in the manor for a week and wait until I finish the things at hand before I go out with you. ."
"Go and do your business, don't pay attention to me."
The elf girl said very sensibly, then smiled and hugged her unicorn again:
"Of course it's good not to have to go out. The manor is big anyway, can I go for a walk in the garden?"
After receiving a nod from Shade, she continued to ask:
"Xia De, do I have other problems and are you specifically protecting me?"
The forced smile on Shade's face disappeared. Although Emilia was simple, she was definitely not unintelligent.
The smile on the elf girl's face also disappeared. She patted the little unicorn and stood there looking up at Shade, with a touch of sadness on her face:
"Although I was pleasantly surprised when I first saw you at the train station, I also knew that something was wrong. How could it be such a coincidence that I happened to be sent to the city where you were adventuring again? It couldn't be true. You heard my wish... I actually heard it when you quietly handed the letter to Mr. Emhyr and asked them if we encountered anything else during the train journey."
The elf girl looked at Shade:
"Have the cultists not let me go yet? Or, are there things more terrifying than the cultists around me?"
Not waiting for Shade to answer, she pursed her lips and looked at the pure white beast beside her, who didn’t know why the atmosphere suddenly became so heavy:
"You just told me on the carriage that my family sent little Liana here because they didn't trust me. But this is not the first time I have left the academy. I know how to send little Lianna here and how to send her here." There is no difference if we kill a dragon. Although our clan is somewhat prestigious in the academy, it is absolutely impossible to do this easily. If my family is really worried about me, it would be easier to just call me back."
Looking at Shade again, there was a bit more stubbornness in his eyes. Outsiders often lamented that the girls he met were very smart and strong, and Emilia once again proved his point:
"Stay in the manor for a week, and I will take care of other things."
Xia De did not lie to her, but he did not reveal the truth either:
"If you still want to believe me, just leave it all to me."
The elf girl was silent for a moment, and then whispered:
"Can you tell me why you are so protective of me? Don't use repaying me as an excuse this time. You already paid back the last favor when you were in Tobesk."
Xia De then said:
"Do you need a reason to help others?"
"Just because of this?"
She lowered her eyes and asked. Xia De really couldn't think of what to say, so he could only continue:
"Because you believe in the Tree Father."
She wanted to ask "Anything else?", but when she saw Xia De's eyes, she fell silent for a long time, and then she said softly as if she was resigned to her fate:
"Thanks, Shad."
"There is no need to say thank you between us, and I just said it on the carriage, my current name is John Watson."
She bit her lip:
"I don't want you to get hurt because of me, so if you really encounter something that you can't solve, please don't be brave. You are worried about my safety, and I am worried about you."
Xia De then really laughed:
"I know. Look at your serious look. If it's really dangerous, will I bring little Mia?"
As he spoke, he rubbed the cat’s little head, and the orange-white cat barked in cooperation:
"Meow~"
Emilia nodded, but she was still worried:
"Actually, I am not powerless. If necessary, I can help, or you can use me as bait."
"I know, I know, let's go and eat. If you don't adapt to living here, you can tell me at any time. You are also very proficient in Kasenlik, which will save a lot of trouble. I will come every day Here. Also, just know about Earl Belindel yourself, and don’t tell anyone else after you go back.”
Emilia nodded heavily and followed Shade to go to the restaurant:
"Then what is your relationship with Count Belindel?"
"Very good friendship."
The elf girl nodded again, and after a moment of hesitation, she took the initiative to hold Shade's hand.
"Ang~"
The pure white little beast screamed happily, seeming very happy for this scene.
After all, Emilia was still a little unaccustomed to the unfamiliar environment, so at the lunch table, she basically didn’t speak much. She just sat next to Shade and ate the food, occasionally nodding to express her agreement with Shade. She is still observing here, which makes the master and maids of the manor think that she is a cold and cautious girl.
In order to prevent Amelia from getting bored here, Shade specially got a batch of Delarian novels from Dorothy before leaving home this morning. Relying on Dorothy's talent of "transferring objects", Lecia didn't need Shade to leave home and directly sent a lot of writing materials that she and Dorothy had prepared for Dorothy in the early stages of soul exchange.
It is said that there are many novels among them, which Lecia collected from Agelina. Of course, they are all healthy ones. Shade was considering whether to let Agelina and Emilia meet once Agelina came to Moon Bay with Tifa.
Anyway, after lunch, Shade handed the batch of novels to Emilia and asked her to tell him if she needed anything else.
The elf girl smiled and pounced on the little beast lying on the soft cushion beside the bed, hugged it happily and said:
"That's enough, what could be better than this summer?
I first experienced two weeks of thrilling adventures, and before returning to school, I hid in a luxurious aristocratic manor and read novels for a week without anyone caring about me. I even had maids for meals and laundry. Come do it, this summer is so magical! ”
Xia De didn’t know whether she said this deliberately to comfort herself, or whether she really felt happy:
"Well, don't stay up all night reading novels, it's not good for your eyes. Well, elves are very talented and there is no possibility of myopia. But the natural scenery of Yuewan this season is actually better than Tobesk. Wait until it is over. , let me go to the beach with you."
