Whispering Poems.

"What's wrong with you today? You hurriedly brought Agelina to my place for breakfast early in the morning, and you still looked restless."

On Sunday morning, at Galina Manor outside the city, the Duchess was sitting on the sofa in the study with a teacup in hand, frowning beautifully, looking at Rezia across the coffee table.

Her Highness the Princess pursed her lips and did not speak, she tilted her head and looked out of the window, as if there was some beautiful scenery there, with a somewhat uneasy expression on her face.So the witch joked again:
"You look like someone put a bean under the sofa cushion. If it doesn't feel right, how about I ask Tifa to bring you another cushion?"

After she finished speaking, the black-haired head maid was really going to prepare the cushions, but was stopped by Rezia:

"No, I just"

She didn't have the nerve to talk about what happened at Xia De's house last night, and she was also inconvenient to talk about what "phantom pain" is - it wasn't actually painful, but asked:

"Have you decided on a time to go to the Green Lake area?"

"Yes, it's been half a month since the negotiations started. It's time to leave. Today is Sunday, and the plan is to leave before the weekend of next week. There are a lot of people in the entourage, so move slowly. By then, many people will send us off Yes, this kind of treatment doesn't happen every time."

She smiled and looked at her two grandnieces:

"Resia, it is impossible for you to go to the Green Lake area with me, your father will not allow it. But Adelina, do you want to go with me? Just take it as a lesson."

The little princess was a little tempted, but she still looked at her sister, and Leiziya didn't care:
"It's fine for you to decide for yourself, but if you really follow along, you are definitely not asked to play."

The ladies of the Cavendish family were talking, and the maid outside the door knocked on the door to inform Shade that he was coming to visit, and he had already entered the courtyard in a carriage.

A bright smile appeared on the face of the red-haired Duchess, she got up and asked Tifa to check her clothes, and then went downstairs to greet Shad with a smile.

Rezia and Adelina sat without moving, and after five or six minutes, they were seen coming back together.Tifa held the rose brought by Shad and hugged Mia, while the witch held a small gift from Shad—a metallic gradient red rose.

This is made of the metal pieces of eight relic derivatives, the gift is not very expensive, but unique enough.

Although Leiziya knew yesterday that Xia De was not so angry anymore, she was still a little worried and guilty when she really saw Xia De at this time.She stood up from the sofa, pursed her lips and didn't know what to say. After Agelina greeted Shad, she hesitated and said:

"Good morning, Shad, sorry."

The witch who walked to the sofa with Xia De raised her eyebrows, looking back and forth between the two, Xia De also looked at Rezia:

"Last night, what did you promise?"

"I won't do that in the future. Even if I have to do this kind of reckless move, I will make it clear to you in advance."

She said, and Shad walked up to her and hugged her gently.This action is more effective than any words, and the red-haired princess finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Absolutely, there will never be a next time."

Xia De asked Rezia and Agelina to come here last night, of course not to ask Galina, an elder, to reprimand Rezia, but to determine whether Agelina Cavendish, who is on the verge of awakening, is Go to Zarath Academy of Literature or follow the witch.Rezia and Miss Galina have already discussed this point, and also consulted Adelina's own opinion.

"The royal family has two ring magicians in the same generation. This is the first time since the establishment of Delarion. From my standpoint, I don't really want Agelina to be a witch, although it means power. But there is also a price."

Miss Galina said, still looking at Xia De and Rezia with great interest, guessing what happened yesterday.

Rezia sat across from Shad, with Adelina beside her.The sadness that had been on her face since she came this morning finally disappeared, but she still behaved strangely at this time, and she blushed when she saw Xia De.But apart from the two of them, no one else here knew why.

She also said to Shad:
"Agelina herself wants to become a witch. After the test, she does have a unique talent. But the problem now is that Aunt Galina said that all the big witches have no plans to recruit apprentices."

Xia De looked at Agelina, and the 17-year-old Princess Her Royal Highness in a sky blue dress was a little disappointed.

Miss Galina explained:

"For a great witch, a formal apprentice means a possible future successor. For example, I have been cultivating Tifa. If there is no accident, I will not recruit No.2 apprentices for decades. The situation is similar for other great witches. , either they don’t intend to train new apprentices, or they are not suitable to be Adelina’s teacher.”

She shook her head:
"Sylvia is the youngest great witch, and she doesn't have any apprentices now. I asked her, but unfortunately, Adelina's math scores are not good, at least not up to Sylvia's standard Excellent level. The great witch of space, don't want an apprentice who is not good at math. What's more, it is difficult to judge whether she has space talent now."

"So, you plan to let Agelina enroll in the Zarath Academy of Arts?"

Xia De asked, pointing to the sky, which represents the floating city.

Rezia nodded:

"Yes, after she is officially awakened, let her enroll in the Zarath Academy of Literature. However, although she cannot become a witch apprentice for the time being, she can become a follower of the witch and give her part of the witch's power."

Possessing the power of a witch is not free. Rezia has never considered this matter, but Adelina seems to be ready.

"Your Excellency the speaker agrees with this approach. She thinks it is a very good thing to keep in touch with the royal family. Since Adelina wants to be close to the parliament, the speaker is also willing to do so. Besides, it will be easier to get in touch with the power of the witch when she awakens. The cost is also less.”

The Duchess said again, but Rezia thought of something else:
"When Ajielina is officially awakened, father will not worry about her marriage so much anymore. After all, the value of a ring magician in the family is completely different from that of an ordinary princess. Ajielina, what you have been worrying about, It's finally over."

"Sister, I don't want to go to school in Zaras, can I stay in Tobesk?"

Of course Adelina was also happy about this, but she didn't want to leave like this. She glanced at Xia De when she was speaking. Of course, Rezia could understand her sister's mind:
"Of course, you can become a correspondence student like Shad. I didn't want to stay in the college all the time, so I chose to switch from a formal student to a correspondence student. After all, staying away from Tobesk means staying away from the political center. But you have to think about it , that floating city is really good, and the experience of being able to live with other races and classmates is not something you can have at any time, it's a matter of the future, after all, you haven't officially awakened yet."

"I'll make plans for the future. I think it's good now."

The witch said, pointed to the door neatly, and said in an orderly tone:
"Okay, your business is over. Rezia, Adelina, go back to the city now. The weather is so good today, girls, don't stay here and waste spring time."

She took the hand of Xia De who was sitting beside her, with a strong smile on her face:

"Xia De came to find me on a date today, so don't waste my time. I won't be able to see him when I leave for the Green Lake area next week.

The expressions on Rezia's and Adelina's faces were very similar at this time.Before Leiziya and Xia De bid farewell, they were quite reluctant to part with each other.Her and Dorothy's reckless behavior last night had left a deep lesson for the two girls. In Xia De's opinion, this is a good thing, at least there will be no next time, he is very sure of this.

As for Leiziya's worry about being hated by him, he can understand this feeling of worrying about gains and losses.But in a few weeks, this matter will be completely over, and the family will not have unresolved conflicts.

As for the date with the witch this Sunday afternoon, it lasted until about three o'clock.The recently busy Duke Galina Cavendish also needed to adjust her state. After driving away the princesses, seeing that the weather was fine today, she took Xia De and her maids out for a horseback riding outing.

Although the area of ​​Galina's manor is only within the walls, in fact most of the nearby farms, orchards and land belong to her.

The Duchess took Xia De to confirm the boundaries of her land, raced horses on the forest path in early spring, took a walk in the orchard, and returned to the manor at noon to have a picnic on the grass in the courtyard.

In the afternoon, they read books together in the study, talked about fresh topics in their lives, and planned the action plan for the Green Lake area.Even the arrival of Iluna, who came to study every week around 01:30, didn't disturb the witch's good spirits.

When Iluna opened the door and entered the study, she happened to see Xia De sitting on the chair behind the desk, and the witch was sitting sideways on his lap and kissing him, which made Iluna a little unhappy.But judging by Iluna's expression, she no longer had the hesitation and panic she had when she suddenly visited Shade at noon on Friday, and she had completely returned to normal.

The witch did not postpone Iluna's class today because of her date with Xia De. It happened that Xia De was there, so she guided Xia De and Iluna to practice.Of course, this was no longer a cold weapon fight between Xia De and Sister Devlin, but a battle between real spellcasters.

Both Shad and Iluna deliberately kept their hands, and neither used powerful thaumaturgy, but the training in the afternoon was still very effective.Iluna also pointed out Shad's "giant" attack method again, and the witch also gave her own ideas and suggestions, which are very useful.

However, at about three o'clock, the eunuch servant of the Yodel Palace sent a letter, asking Miss Galina to go to the city to meet His Majesty the King:

"There's been a lot going on recently."

Even if she doesn't want to, she still has to leave.So Miss Galina arranged for Iluna to stay in the manor to complete the new task of learning the witch's secret art she left behind, and then let Xia De walk around the manor, or go to the bedroom to have a rest. The date will last for a whole day God, Xia De can't be let go now.She didn't bring Tifa into the city, but asked her head maid to take care of Shad and Iluna in the manor.

And when the duchess and two other maids left in the carriage, and Iluna took the parchment that recorded the new witch's secret technique to the basement to prepare for the ceremony, the black-haired maid stood at the door of the manor house and gently pulled Shad's Clothes:

"Shadow, what are you going to do next?"

Shad turned to look at her, Tifa's smiling dark brown eyes were beautiful.

He thought for a moment:
"I don't know if Mia woke up from her afternoon nap. Or, it would be nice to go to the study and wait for Galina to come back."

Tifa's beautiful eyes continued to stare at him, but there was a slight hesitation and charming look in the depths of the pupils:
"Any other plans?"

She blinked her left eye playfully at Xia De, and Xia De also blinked:

"what do you mean"

She pursed her lips and smiled, then took Xia De's hand and motioned to follow her.The two soon came to the second room on the right on the third floor, which was very close to the master bedroom, and it was Tifa's room.Although she was a maid, she did not live with other maids, and Miss Galina never really regarded her as her maid.

The layout of this room is very similar to the guest room that Shad lived in before, except that there are some decorations unique to the girls' room.The interior decoration is not that luxurious, but it is quite Tifa's own style in its simplicity.The desk was tidy, and her apron was draped over the back of the chair pushed into the belly of the desk.There were some landscape paintings on the wall, and the only photo was a group photo of Tifa and the Duchess, who looked no older than 13 years old.

There is a special fresh scent in the room that is not found in the hallway.Xia De entered here for the first time, but he failed to observe the room more carefully. The maid lady in black and white maid skirt stepped back, looked at Xia De with a smile, and pressed her body against the door, closing the door. closed.

There was a rose-red halo on her face, which was more alluring than any makeup.Looking at him with big eyes, with one hand behind his back, he deliberately paused to let him see the slight movement of her shoulders, and then he locked the door with a click, and raised the other hand to unlock the first button under the collar. button:
"Since the Duke is not here for the time being, we"

All in all, it was indeed a fun, laid-back spring weekend afternoon.

PS: Ask for tickets, the double at the beginning of the month will end on the [-]th.
