Whispering Poems.

Chapter 1669 "Punishment"

Shad, who broke into the Yordle Palace in the form of a cat, carefully avoided the ritual of detecting spirits and elements set up by the church in the royal palace, and then jumped from the side wall onto the street.

This is not Silver Cross Avenue, but St. Berkman Avenue connected to the Disick Bridge across the Terraria River.This street intersects with Silver Cross Avenue and runs parallel to Parliament Street on the north side of Yoddle Palace.

Because the gas street lamps on the street are very bright, Xia De did not change back to human form for the time being, but wanted to find a dark alley and throw the glass shoe back home, anyway, this place is very close to home.As for why he didn't do this in Rezia's bedroom, it was because Shade was still angry with Rezia and Dorothy, and he didn't want to take out her glass slipper in front of her.

Besides, Adelina and so many maids were there, so he was ashamed to do so.

"Her" laughter came from next to his ear, Xia De knew what "she" was laughing at, but he didn't care at all.The cat stood under the wall and looked left and right, making sure that there was no carriage passing by, so it prepared to trot across the road to the other side of the street.

The warm light of the gas lamp dragged the long black shadow of the silver cat on the street in this dark night. This scene looked rather scary.

And when Xia De entered the position where the gas street lamp on the opposite side of the street was not illuminated, he immediately changed back to his appearance.He touched his bosom, intending to take out the glass slipper, but from the west side of St. Berkman Street, far away from home, he heard noises and footsteps.

Xia De, who was in a bad mood, gave up taking out the crystal slipper, but reached for the gun pouch on his waist.With the brownish black eyes of the stranger, he saw the light flashing across the bridge in the dark night, and heard the gunfire suppressed by the silencer.

He stood motionless in the shadows, motionless, until the pursuers came here.

Director An Luosi, who led the agents to chase the enemy, was sweating profusely even in the spring night wind, because he had already recognized the place.And the three people running wildly in black windbreakers in front of them also realized where they came to while fleeing.

Although not in the direction of the Carson Rik embassy, ​​it's not bad here either.They continued to rush forward with the mentality of seeing death as home, intending to get closer to the Yoddle Palace, but at this moment, a figure in a black windbreaker came out on the empty street lit by gas lamps in front of them.

bang~
The sound of gunfire that was not suppressed by the silencer finally broke the calm of the night.Xia De hit the forehead of the man running in the front with a shot. He didn't bother to press the ram, but threw the table knife with his left hand and stabbed the throat of the second man behind the fallen man.

He walked towards the third man with a cold face, and the panicked man pointed at Xia De and pulled the trigger, but after a slight noise, Xia De just tilted his head slightly and dodged the bullet.He didn't give the opponent a chance to fire a second shot. He approached extremely quickly and punched the opponent in the chest.

Director An Luosi, who hurried over with someone, thought for a moment that Xia De's fist would pass through his chest, but in fact, the man who fell limp on the ground was just breathless from the beating.

"good evening."

Xia De kicked away the pistol dropped by the other party, blew on the muzzle of his own gun, then bent down and pulled out the table knife thrown just now, and wiped the blood off the corpse's clothes.

Director An Luosi also breathed a sigh of relief, and signaled the agents behind him to deal with the police who heard the gunshots, deal with the corpse and respond to the follow-up "cleaners", and then waved at Shad.

He didn't ask why Xia De carried a table knife with him, let alone what Xia De was doing here so late, Director An Luosi gave a suggestion:

"You still use that revolver? I suggest you change to a pistol that can fire repeatedly. Also, the suppressor is also necessary."

Xia De nodded noncommittally. To him, the gun was just an ornament, and an accessory to increase the success rate of the "persuasion" ability if necessary:
"Who are these people? Are they related to the nobles who joined the Carson Riks on Thursday night?"

Xia De asked, Director An Luosi shook his head slightly:

"It's hard to say, it may be related. Otherwise, I don't need to lead the team out myself."

As the director of the Sixth Division, although he will go out to work when necessary, he will definitely not do everything himself:
"It's hard to say this time. It really has nothing to do with Gray Gloves. It's a third-party force other than Delarion and Kasenrick."

The middle-aged man said sadly, and squatted down to test the breath of the third person:
"Very well, you have left us a living, so don't worry about not having any clues."

"Third-party forces? The Old Continent and the New Continent, are there any forces that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the two kingdoms?"

Xia De asked, Director An Luosi lowered his voice:

"Individually, it's definitely not, but it's not necessarily the same. And this time, it may be related to a certain prince. This is the season."

The last half of the sentence was too low, Xia De clicked his tongue, and put the pistol back into the gun bag:
"Prince again? After all, the Cavendish royal family didn't show up today."

he said, and waved his hand to go home.

Director An Luosi didn't speak any more, waved his hand at him, and then turned around to arrange the aftermath.

After bidding farewell to Director An Luosi, Xia De did not throw away the glass slipper, but chose to walk home.Just now he was angry and killed someone, and he also found that he needed time to think about it and calm down his emotions.

But the location of the incident was very close to home, so without knowing it, he took out the key and opened the door.

When I came to the second floor, the warm home was still so relaxing, and Mia was waiting for Xia De at the stairs.

Luvia came out of the bedroom and asked with concern:

"Is the princess all right?"

Sure enough, she had already guessed the general outline of the matter. Of course, it may also be what Dorothy said.

"It's okay, but I need time to rest."

Xia De hugged the cat and said, then gestured towards the bedroom with his eyes, and the purple-eyed girl showed a little smile:
"She hasn't slept yet, but she is obviously afraid of you."

"Afraid of what I will do?"

He took off his coat and put it on the hanger. When he walked into the bedroom, he saw the blond writer lady sitting on the bed and was afraid to look at him.

However, her attire had changed from a normal skirt to a nightgown, which she changed while Shad was gone.

Xia pulled a chair and sat down beside the bed. Luvia didn't follow the bedroom. She heard the voice and went to the kitchen.

"Feel sorry."

For a long time neither of them spoke, but at last Dorothy spoke first.

She pursed her lips and sat on the bed looking at Xia De:

"I promise, this is the last time."

Saying that, he stretched out his hand and held Xia De's hand:
"I've always been the one who caused you trouble with Rezia and I'm sorry. I know we're wrong this time. If you weren't by my side...Xia De, I'm sorry."

The blonde girl's complexion was rather haggard, and Xia De also looked at her blue eyes:

"I won't say anything like 'this is your own business, you don't need to apologize to me', and I have never objected to you exploring your own secrets. But if there is anything, at least discuss it with me. We are a family people."

"We are a family."

Miss Writer's eyes were a little red, she turned her body sideways, and held Xia De's hand with both hands:

"We know what a big mistake this is. When you pulled our soul back with that kiss just now, we felt the temperature and urgency of your soul. The sublimated language of Laisia ​​is 'sleeping princess', She gained more than I did. I'm sorry, Shad, I'm really sorry."

As he said that, he tried to lift his arms around Xia De's neck to hug him, but in the end he seemed to dare not do so. He retracted halfway through the movement, and then continued to look at Xia De pitifully.This looks a bit like Mia.

"Why are you afraid of me?"

Xia De asked strangely, touched the cat's head, and put it on the head of the bed.The first button of the neckline of Dorothy's nightdress was undone, and she bit her pale, blood-tinged lips:

"You whipped us just now. It hurts."

Xia De looked at her like this, and asked after at least three seconds:
"Is this the way you discussed with Luvia, how not to make me angry again?"

"Lezia and I really know that we are wrong this time."

She lowered her head and raised her eyes to look at Xia De. This look is very similar to that of Rezia 10 minutes ago:
"If you're still angry, you can take that whip again. Although it hurts, it won't leave any traces. If you did something bad, shouldn't you be punished?"

Xia De didn't quite know whether it was Rezia's idea, Dorothy's idea, or Luvia's idea, but he couldn't use [Soul Whiplash] on the girls around him anyway, even if it was strange. The technique is not offensive in any way.

He sighed:
"I was really angry when I went to find Rezia just now, but I'm not angry anymore, everyone has immature moments. I worry about you, you know what I want to say. But only this time, I rarely do this Make a request, Dorothy, and Rezia, who I know must be listening, and you must assure me that any future decisions about you will be discussed with me in advance."

"Yes, I promise."

Rezia said.

"Xia De, there will be no next time. I will discuss it with you in advance. Also, what did you do to save us?"

Dorothy said after the soul exchange came back.

Xia De shook his head and didn't want to say more. There should be a way to get back the sealed spell, but it will take time.

He got up from his chair:

"Even if you did something wrong, I will save you next time. Girls, we all have to learn from this lesson. This is the only thing that can be regarded as a harvest after this incident is over. Take a good rest here tonight , Luvia and I sleep on the side next door. If there is anything, you can call us."

It just so happened that Luvia also came in with a tray at this time, and the kitchen was boiling water before Xia De came back, so the tea was prepared very quickly:
"Is this a reconciliation? Dorothy, I said as long as I sincerely apologize and admit my mistakes, Shad won't be angry."

Of course Luvia had no problem with the suggestion of sleeping on the side. Every Saturday was the date time for Dorothy and Rezia and Shad, but she rarely stayed overnight with Shad at this time.

But the hand of the blonde girl on the bed held Xia De, and she looked up at the stranger:

"But tonight is Saturday, once a week for study and dating"

"You are already like this, take a good rest."

Saying that, Xia De took the tray from Luvia's hand and put it on the low cabinet next to the bedside. The cat immediately looked at the three-layer sandwich biscuits on the tray.

"Is this the punishment?"

asked Dorothy.

"what?"

Xia De didn't understand this sentence, so Miss Writer first looked at Luvia, then pursed her lips and pulled Xia De's hand:
"Should we punish in another way? Just use... that method of teaching misbehaving children."

Xia De thought for a while, and noticed that Luvia's face blushed, and then felt that he might be thinking the same thing as them.

The blue eyes of the pretty blonde girl looked at him, and she took his hand and shook it.Seeing Xia De standing there hesitantly, he looked at Luvia for help:
"Help me, tonight, I don't bring youthful leaves here."

The eyes of the two people intersected for a moment, so the kind Miss Seer blushed and pushed Xia De:
"Xia De, please forgive Dorothy. Although she made a wrong decision, it is enough to give her some small punishments, and it will leave a deep enough impression on her. She will not do such impulsive actions next time." I have to declare things in advance, I can stay, but I did nothing wrong tonight, and it is definitely not me who will be punished."

Looking at the three cats vigilantly, he felt that something was wrong with the scene in front of him.It already has a premonition that not only will it not be able to eat the three-layer sandwich biscuit, but it may also spend the night in the cat's nest in the closet.
