The Whispering Verses Chapter 485: Cavendis
"Your Highness."
Xia De looked seriously at the princess in front of him, who looked at him with a slightly red face.
"I want to tell you"
Bumping forward suddenly, he entered the room with Agelina in his arms.
But he did not rush forward. While hugging the sixteen-year-old girl, he put force on his feet. The two of them turned back at the same time. Shade crossed his hands behind the princess.
Bang!
Whoosh!
The gun in his right hand accurately hit the head of the cowering man in the corner on the right. Although Shade had never practiced shooting, he was too close to Shade.
The four Rhodes cards in his left hand flew out. Under Shade's deliberate control, the four cards were not so exaggerated as to directly cut the opponent's throat, but hit the opponent's wrist and the finger on the trigger respectively.
There was another gunshot. Although the trigger was still pulled by the enemy behind the door, it lost its accuracy due to the pain and did not hit anyone.
"And the last one!"
The right thumb pressed down on the hammer of the Ruger revolver. Shade's left hand was originally holding Agelina. Now as his body turned, his left hand went around Agelina and grabbed her right hand, letting her After spinning around in a circle, she came to her side.
This makes it easier to aim, and also allows you to block the last enemy's gun.
After turning around, he raised his gun and faced forward. The third enemy, who could not be dealt with immediately, did not fire back in a short period of time. Instead, he pointed the gun at the young maid's head. He hid behind the maid.
Although the man in the black hat was much larger than the maid, with Shade's shooting skills, he really had no confidence in hitting the enemy with one shot.
Xia De looked at the opponent, pointed his right hand to the side, and pulled the trigger
Bang!
Smoke came out of the gun, and the man behind the door, covering his wrist, was shot in the chest. He hit the wall backwards due to the momentum of the bullet. He raised his gun and wanted to shoot, but he didn't hold his gun in his hand. The maid who was near him bravely threw a plate and knocked the gun away.
Shad pressed down the battering ram for the third time, looked at the man in front of him, and pointed his right hand downward.
【It's off, go down a little bit. Yes, this is it. 】
Bang!
The man behind the door leaned against the wall, covering his chest, tilted his head, and slowly fell down.
Xia De was still looking at the man in the black hat hiding behind the maid:
"Your Highness, please take your servants and leave here first."
Overwhelming the battering ram, he still looked forward but fired again to the right. The body trembled. Shade was trying to prevent the other party from pretending to be dead.
If everyone else leaves, then even if Shade uses the power of the Ring Warlock, the only witness will be a maid, which makes the situation easier to handle.
"No, no one can leave, otherwise I will shoot her!"
The man's eyes were wide open and he was breathing heavily. His eyes were bloodshot and he had a collapsed expression on his face. When Shade rushed in with Agelina in his arms just now, he didn't close the door, and the gunshots had already spread:
"Don't be nervous, friend, maybe we can talk. Look, I have no weapons."
Xia De stared at him closely, and in order to show his sincerity, he let go of his right hand and let the revolver fall to the ground. To him, killing someone with a gun was the least efficient way.
"Also, throw away the cards you are carrying! I just saw it! Your cards can kill people!"
"No, I didn't kill someone with cards just now."
Shad did not directly deny this. He put his hand into his pocket, took out a stack of cards, and handed it to the princess beside him.
"And!"
The man hiding behind the maid said loudly.
He probably just wanted to give it a try, but unexpectedly Shade reached into another pocket and handed his spare cards to the princess.
Actually, he could only add a thaumaturgy [treasure item] to a deck of cards, but the other party really thought too much.
"And!"
The man saw that Xia De was indeed prepared and said again.
Xia De hesitated for a moment, unbuttoned his coat, and threw the [Gun of Kindness] on his waist to the floor.
"It's really gone now."
He tried to speak as sincerely as possible and said before the other party could refute:
"Let the princess leave here, and you can take the two of us hostage."
"No, no one can leave."
The man's hand holding the gun was shaking a little, and Shade was worried that he would accidentally pull the trigger of the Glass pocket single-shot pistol.
"Huh? The MI6 operation is equipped with guns? Those people are reselling arms and finally got into trouble?"
Although Xia De was surprised, he did not show it. But the blonde maid he held hostage was really nervous. She bit her lip and closed her eyes, tilting her head desperately away from the muzzle of the gun.
There were footsteps outside the door, and the sound of the opera stopped after the second gunshot. Shade knew that he could not lose:
"Agelina, take your servants and leave."
Xia De said again, and then felt the sixteen-year-old princess standing behind him:
"Mr. Hamilton, I'm a little scared."
She completely hid behind Sha De, pulled on Sha De's clothes and said this in a loud voice. Moreover, Shade actually heard a click sound like a gun safety being opened beneath her voice.
His eyes continued to meet the man with the gun:
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you"
Bang!
The gunshot sounded from behind, accurately hitting the man in the black hat between the eyebrows.
The maid screamed and ran away from the corpse. The man's eyes widened. He didn't even have time to leave his last words, and the corpse fell heavily to the ground.
"this"
Shad turned and looked back. Agelina Cavendish was hiding behind him, with a bright smile on her face and a golden pocket pistol with a smoking muzzle in her hand.
The trigger of the pistol appears to be made of gemstones, and the gun body may be gold-plated. This highly decorated small pistol for women can only store three rounds of bullets, including the one that is pressed into the barrel in advance. It is a weapon used by upper-class women for self-defense.
Agelina smiled shyly at Shade, and then lifted up her skirt very unladylikely, revealing the small black leather shoes and white stockings under the skirt.
The garter on the right side was gone, and she put the gun back into the small leather gun bag hanging on the white lace fabric leg ring on the left side:
"Knight, it's a good thing you asked for my garters. When I put my hand into my skirt to get the garters, I could just take out the gun from the gun bag and hide it in my sleeve."
She put down her skirt and looked up at Shade. The maids were walking around and calling for others. People outside the door broke in and looked at the messy and tragic scene in the room in surprise.
On the red carpet in the center of the room, sixteen-year-old Agelina Cavendish was looking up and smiling at Shade. Her smile was almost the same as that of Carina Cavendish and Lesia. Cavendish completely coincides:
"Knight, tell me, how did you throw the cards out as weapons? Oh, that scene just now was really cool."
"I"
Xia De took his card from her hand in surprise:
"It's not a steam bomb, it's a pistol. The Cavendish girls are amazing."
(Little Mia is running)
Half an hour later, the Opera House was heavily surrounded by the police from Rydwich Field and MI6 agents. Several high-power gas lamps were evenly distributed around the Opera House, making the entire Tobesk Grand Opera House It's like going from night to day all at once.
Outside the opera house, royal attendants surrounded the carriage, in which sat the two princesses and Shade.
Lesia, who was wearing a fiery red dress, covered her forehead and already basically knew what happened tonight from Shade's description. And if they stay here, they can only leave after MI6 inquires about the specific situation.
"So what happened? Is it Gray Gloves again this time?"
Xia De still doesn’t understand.
"No, no, not Gray Gloves."
Lecia looked like she had a headache:
"It's still related to my brother, Sachs Cavendish."
"Isn't he already arrested?"
"But his followers are still there."
Agelina said that after Lesia appeared, she had been acting very well-behaved, as if she was afraid of Lesia.
"Yes, some people's interests are tied to Sachs Cavendish. Now that I'm back in Tobesk, my father's sentencing of my brother is about to begin, and some people want to fight to the death."
Lecia sighed:
"Although there were no special marks on the three people just now, and the firearms they used were also standard weapons of MI6, there are not many people who would be forced to use this method. We will investigate clearly."
Shad noticed that Lesia kept calling her brother by his first name.
It’s not that Agelina went out without escorts, it’s just that her escorts were not in the box on the third floor with her, but were on guard in other locations on the third floor and downstairs. The blood stains that Shade saw just now were the blood of the killed guards.
But even if he doesn't appear, Agelina will not be in danger. In addition to the princess herself carrying a small pistol, there were also a large number of Tobesk high-ranking officers sitting in the auditorium downstairs in the opera house tonight. It was said to be a collective entertainment organized by Tobesk's Veterans Club.
In fact, at the same time as the confrontation on the third floor, the bodies of the killed princess guards had been discovered, so this less rigorous kidnapping operation was doomed to fail.
Because it involves the royal family and there are MI6 guns, this matter will be led by MI6 and investigated together with the police at Ridwich Field. Shade, as the main person, will also be questioned, but it is difficult for him to explain why he is here tonight.
But fortunately, before Director Anlos appeared, Agelina took the initiative to propose that she invite Shade to watch the show tonight. Lesia glanced at her, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. Instead, she bent down and walked from her sister's side to Shade's side opposite:
"Really, tonight is the first time we meet in Tobesk. I chose a dress specially. I originally planned to give you a surprise."
Lesia's dress is indeed beautiful tonight, Shade had already praised her when they met just now.
"I guess we won't have time to be alone tonight."
She said in front of her sister, looking at Shade with her beautiful eyes. The look was very similar to Dorothy's, but not exactly the same.
"Shad, Agelina and I will return directly to Yodel Palace in a moment. I think the next time we meet, we have to wait until my mother's birthday party next Wednesday. You must come."
As she spoke, Lesia hugged Shade and let him go after a while.
Shade smelled the perfume on Lesia's body. It seemed that she had really made a lot of preparations for meeting Shade for the first time after returning.
"Really, this kind of thing happened."
Speaking dissatisfied, Lesia looked at her sister again, who looked very well-behaved:
"Sister Lesia, I'm sorry, I shouldn't mention this at this time, but I heard about Mr. Hamilton and Aunt Carina"
"Oh, that woman."
Lesia's attitude towards Miss Carina was still the same as usual, she shook her head:
"Agelina, it's true, why are you running to the south of the city to watch the opera so late?"
She showed her attitude as a sister, and the little princess immediately did not dare to speak, but Shade felt that deep down in her heart she must be saying that her sister came here so late to meet the man.
"Shad, Agelina and I have a very good relationship, you can trust her."
Lecia said to Shade again, but she did not explain the meaning:
"If you can't find me in the future, you can't find me, and it's the same thing with Agelina."
"Yes, Mr. Hamilton, I will try my best to help you."
The sixteen-year-old princess raised her head and smiled at Shade.
The voice coming from outside was that Mr. Anlos had arrived and was asking the guards brought by Lesia and the police who arrived in advance to learn about the situation. Then Shade thought of something and took out the garter from his pocket:
"Your Highness Agelina, I was really offended just now. I'll give this back to you."
Although it is not good to take out the garter in front of Lesia, it would be even worse if you take it home. What's more, Shade didn't want Agelina to think that he was a garter collector.
