The Whispering Verses Chapter 899: The “big guy” in the middle of the lake

Published:

In short, after meeting the bride and groom, the party officially began for Shade and Dorothy.

Dorothy is temporarily separated from Shade to meet her friends in the literary world. Lesia is probably with Princess Margaret now, and she has to entertain this guest from the South.

So, Shade planned to meet the big witch first. Witches always hate lively banquets because there are too many men at the banquet, but they must attend this banquet. Only in this way can the two of them get to know each other reasonably and then gradually deepen their relationship.

Mr. Asberg prepared a separate lounge in the corridor on the third floor of the Lakeview Manor mansion for the distinguished guests attending the banquet, especially those from his wife’s family. When Shade held Mia and stepped onto the third floor, the memories of the midsummer night came to mind again. He stopped at the last step of the stairs and looked at the banquet hall door opposite the stairs.

A few months ago, Dorothy broke through the door and flew out, and then the scene where the doctor desperately used the word of sublimation to seriously injure “Mrs. Lasoya” seemed to be happening before his eyes:

“I really miss you”

The last time I came here, the corridor was still filled with blood mist, and the exploding door completely destroyed the corridor. But on this early winter night, the place had long since returned to calm.

The door of the banquet hall is open, and inside is a long table filled with food. Various gold and silver utensils under the gas lamp show the financial strength of the Asberg family. Guests who have not eaten can get food here, but there are not many people inside at this time. After all, for this grand wedding, there are food tables everywhere in the mansion and manor, and there is even a special barbecue in the back garden. Leg of lamb tent

“Meow~”

Seeing that Shade had no intention of entering the banquet hall, but instead turned to the side, Mia suddenly barked, stretched out her little paws and patted his arm. This cat has always shown signs of trouble when it comes to eating. A different kind of wisdom.

“I’ll get you something to eat later.”

Shade patted the cat’s little head, and it stopped meowing.

“Are you getting smarter and smarter?”

The lounge prepared by the Eisberg family for important guests is on the left side of the corridor on the third floor. Of course, it is not easy to enter there casually, but when Shade came to the stairs, the guards who were responsible for guarding just glanced at him, respectfully called out the name “Hamilton of Rejed”, and then enthusiastically led him Arriving at the door of the room where Miss Carina was.

The pendant on the chest was so hot that the two witches were indeed inside. When Shade came in, they were holding wine glasses and standing at the window chatting at the lively courtyard outside.

In the night, the back figures of the two witches in evening gowns firmly attracted Shade’s attention. Just now Dorothy said that the most beautiful girl at this ball was the bride, but Shade knew very well that the most beautiful girls should be these two ladies.

“Ahem.”

Seeing Shade looking at the ladies at the window, the little princess Agelina coughed and told Shade that she was here too.

Shad rarely saw Agelina not staying with Lesia. At this time, the little princess changed out of the bridesmaid dress and wore the tedious princess dress she wears every day, sitting in the lounge. On the sofa, he looked at a document unhappily.

“Good evening, Miss Carina, evening, Your Highness Agelina, good evening, Miss Sylvia.”

He greeted each other according to their status. The sixteen-year-old princess’s face was happy and she wanted to put down the document in her hand. However, when she saw Miss Carina turning around from the window, she bit her lip and continued to read the page in her hand. .

“Good evening, Shad.”

Because Miss Sylvia is “not familiar” with Shade yet, the only one who greeted him was Miss Carina. The witch holding the red wine glass turned around. The color of the red wine in her hand was like the purest ruby, making her look even more attractive:

“Want to try this red wine? This is a personal gift from Princess Margaret to me. It tastes very good.”

The Duchess smiled and said, of course she could taste the origin of these red wines. After all, the raw material for making wine is the blemished grapes on her estate that cannot be eaten.

“Thank you, but I don’t want to drink now. Oh, what is Her Highness Agelina looking at?”

Shad asked curiously, Miss Carina glanced at Tifa, and the black-haired maid explained softly:

“Yesterday, at the dinner that His Majesty entertained Princess Margaret of Anjou, His Majesty Margaret recommended to His Majesty her mathematics teacher, Emma, ​​a well-known scholar in the United Kingdom of Carsonry.・Miss Sylvia, I hope Miss Sylvia can obtain library access permission from several schools in the Tobesk University District.”

The young scholar Miss Sylvia stood at the window, her left hand across her chest, and her right hand toasted to him:

“Thank you to His Majesty Larus III for your kindness.”

“Just now while waiting for the banquet to start, the young lady met His Royal Highness Agelina, and asked Miss Sylvia to pose some questions to test His Highness’s mathematical level.”

The little princess quietly showed a depressed look to Shade from behind the pages. She had obviously been sitting here for more than an hour. Now that the banquet was about to begin, she still couldn’t get permission to leave, and her mood was completely written on her face.

Miss Carina smiled:

“Since I received the title, I have seldom asked about the education of family members. Now it seems that the mathematical level of the royal family has indeed deteriorated a lot over the years.”

Agelina, who looked at Shade quietly, almost had “Help me” written on her face.

“Can I see these questions?”

Xia De asked, then walked to the sofa and took the handwritten papyrus:

“Oh, this is indeed a very professional question. But I think that His Highness should go back and think about it slowly. After all, this is a wedding banquet, and it is still a little too noisy, which is not conducive to concentration.”

The sixteen-year-old princess nodded immediately, and then looked at her aunt expectantly. The smile on Miss Carina’s face did not diminish:

“Okay, Agelina, remember to deliver the answer to my manor before tomorrow evening.”

“Yes, no problem!”

The little princess said loudly, then realized that her behavior was very unladylike. She blushed and packed up the papers on the table, and was about to leave with her maid, but she stopped and asked Xiang Shade:

“Knight, the cycling competition around Lakeview Manor will begin in twenty minutes. Are you interested in participating? I heard from my mother that your performance at the racecourse was very good last time.”

Shade naturally nodded in agreement. Dorothy just said that Lecia asked her to tell Shade to agree to Agelina’s invitation:

“Of course, it will be fun.”

“Then I’m going to prepare the horse for you now. We’ll see you later and I’m going to change clothes!”

With that said, she left the room happily.

“Change clothes?”

Shade looked at Miss Carina in surprise, who put the wine glass on the window sill. The red nail polish on her fingers reflected a strange color under the gas lamp:

“Since it is a game at a wedding, it is of course a horse race for two people. If you want to participate, you must have a female companion. I think Agelina has tacitly accepted that you will choose her as your female companion.”

Miss Sylvia on the side also smiled:

“I heard Miss Carina say that you are having an affair with her grand-niece, is this one? But it’s obvious from the look on her face”

“No, no, no, of course not her, Her Royal Highness Agelina is only sixteen years old!”

Xia De was frightened and hurriedly defended that although the adult age in this world is sixteen, foreigners have foreign rules:

“Ladies, don’t make fun of me. Today’s banquet is very lively, don’t you plan to go down and have a look?”

He also walked to the window and looked at the courtyard illuminated by the lights with the two witches. At this time, there were more and more guests, and laughter and noises could be heard from time to time in the tents set up. It’s a pity that the sun hasn’t completely set yet, otherwise the courtyard illuminated by lights would look even more gorgeous at night.

When Shade and Dorothy walked in just now, the walkway in the center of the courtyard was still a little empty, but now there was a long table. In addition to various delicacies on the table, there was also a five-story Tall cream cake.

Xia De immediately felt that Mia, who was being held by him, was restless again.

“You know, we never like such lively occasions.”

Miss Carina said, then glanced at Miss Sylvia:

“Xia De, don’t you have something to say?”

“Oh, yes.”

Xia De took out the draft of his thesis:

“Miss Sylvia, if you have time, please help me take a look at this in the past two days.”

“Thesis?”

The young witch was a little surprised, but still nodded:

“No problem, but if you want me to help you proofread the details, you’d better give me the imaginary number in the finished manuscript? You actually have research on this? It’s interesting. You should really consider my last proposal. ”

This meant becoming her apprentice, but she did not dare to say it in front of Miss Carina.

Miss Sylvia followed Miss Carina’s example, put the wine glass on the window sill, and flipped through the manuscript hastily, her attention was completely attracted.

“Shad, Sylvia and I will probably stay here forever. If you encounter any trouble that cannot be solved during the banquet, you can come here to find me.”

“What trouble will there be at the party?”

Xia De asked curiously, and then thought for a moment:

“Does MI6 and Gray Gloves have any plans?”

“Why do you think so?”

Miss Carina asked curiously, and Shade nodded. He indeed did not receive any orders from both parties regarding this banquet:

“Is there a thief here?”

Thefts in the city have been frequent in recent weeks, even at an abnormal frequency.

“Oh, I do suspect that there are some kind of humanoid relics in the city related to theft, but Lakeview Manor has nothing to do with that.”

The witch said again, no longer giving Shade a chance to guess, she squinted her eyes and looked out the window, and said softly:

“There are some minor problems at Schluch Lake between Lakeview Manor and Lemaire Racecourse.”

“What’s the little problem?”

“To put it simply, it seems like something big is about to appear from the middle of the lake.”
