Whispering Poems

Chapter 1169 "Pocket money" and plans
Although knights and beautiful princesses from other places have staged many "dramas" that cannot be told to others in the boxes of the opera house, but this time the opera is really watching an opera together, so not only the gas lights in the boxes are still on, but also Adelina and Mia were there too.

The cat, which is almost one year old, is on the coffee table at this time, playing with a rolling green apple with its small paws, while the little princess is sitting on the left end of the sofa, looking like she is watching an opera, but in fact He was listening to Xia De talking with his sister.

"My people have already connected with Margaret Anjou's people. I really didn't expect that princess to have such a thing in her hands."

Rezia was dressed up tonight, with a sparkling ruby ​​tiara on her head and a ruby ​​earring on each ear.One is a sage-level relic, the anti-curse stone, and the other is the ruby ​​that Xia De sent when he was in Lengshuigang City.

"My business with that princess will probably be very big. Xia De, I'm thinking about whether to give you a broker's commission. I remember that you haven't been short of money recently?"

"No, don't give me money, I just sent you a letter. Who told you that I'm short of money?"

Xia De asked curiously, and Rezia blinked her eyes, and said in the singing voice that sounded again below:
"I noticed that you have been very sensitive to the topic of gold pounds recently. I stayed at your place four days ago at the weekend, and when we talked about the renovation of your second floor room on the bed, you showed a high price. sensitivity."

Adelina's ears moved, obviously hearing an interesting topic.

"Haven't I always been like this? And, besides, I have a box of gems from Huntington with the arrows I used to stab you. Those gems are very valuable."

Xia De said with certainty, Rezia shook her head slightly, and looked at Xia De quite reproachfully:

"Knight, don't lie to me. When I met your fortune teller lady at your house in the middle of the night earlier last week, she mentioned to me that you were haunted for 'Tobesk country house. Incident's commission issue, and my client dragged for a long time. Her pajamas are very beautiful."

It was actually Dorothy who was at Shard that night, while Luvia was astrological on the third floor.Dorothy got up at night to drink water, while Luvia went to rest on the first floor, and the two had a few words in the living room.

Agelina's little ears moved again, obviously attracted by words like "Miss Fortune Teller and I", "midnight", and "pajamas".

"It's not that the client doesn't want to pay the commission, it's just because the client Viscount Victor and his immediate family members were almost all arrested by Ridwich Field after the incident was resolved, so he wants to renege on the money promised to me in the contract , and claimed that he would never spend money to hire someone to send himself and his friends and family to prison."

Xia De nodded:

"The old gentleman was very dissatisfied with this. Fortunately, Ridwich Court upheld justice and let me choose antiques at will to deduct detective fees before raiding his estate. Oh, Rezia, I just did it too. What ordinary citizens should do."

Rezia covered her mouth with a ladylike smile:
"You are now the most famous detective in Tobesk. I didn't expect that you would encounter so many big cases in a row, as well as the group of stupid thieves who dug tunnels to enter the warehouse of the Yodel Palace."

She picked up the orange that had been peeled off a small piece on the coffee table, peeled off another piece, twisted it with her slender fingers, and stretched it out to Xia De's mouth:
"But how many pounds do those commission fees cost? If I remember correctly, at the end of the year, that's me, Miss Blonde Writer and Miss Fortune Teller, spending the night at your place together."

"Cough cough~"

The little princess who was drinking tea choked on the water and coughed violently.The personal maid standing by the wall immediately came over and patted her on the back, and Leizia frowned and looked over:
"Agelina, you will be 17 in a while, how can you choke on drinking water in public?"

"Hold~ cough cough~ I'm sorry, sister."

The little princess lowered her head and whispered, so Rezia continued the conversation with Xia De:

"On the morning of the first day of the new year, when we were having breakfast at your house, you complained that you had already been promoted to the fifth ring, but you didn't have enough funds to buy new thaumaturgy for yourself."

"Actually, my current thaumaturgy is enough, and because of the school year reward, the library can also let me choose thaumaturgy for free."

Xia De said with some embarrassment that he knew that the so-called "broker's commission" that Rezia wanted to pay him was actually his "pocket money".

Just like before Miss Galina left, she put a large amount of cash in the study of the manor for Xia De to use, but Xia De didn't touch a single note, he would not spend the girls' money for no reason.

[Pathetic self-esteem. 】

"She" whispered in Xia De's ear, but Xia De just pretended not to hear it.

"That's fine, but if you need it, you can come to me at any time. I really don't know why you and I are so polite."

Rezia murmured in a low voice, and after Xia De ate the slice of orange she handed over, she asked Xia De to feed her a slice.

"I remember you said last time that you would sell a batch of prohibited goods from the New World. I mean, let Margaret sell them in Carson Rick. Is it the way to take the cold water port this time?"

Xia De asked while peeling the oranges, to prevent Her Royal Highness from mentioning the topic of giving him money again.Little Mia turned her head to look at Xia De, but she was not interested in the pungent orange.

"Recently, Lengshui Port is investigating smuggling. After all, it is the beginning of the year. You understand. This time, I will take the road of Carson Rik's Spring City-Randall Valley City. Although I will go directly to Carson Rik from the New World and cross the sea. The itinerary was a bit longer, but fortunately, it was much safer.”

Rezia bit Shad's finger, and let him go after he showed a surprised expression.Then he smiled and pointed to Adelina who was pretending to be watching an opera, but she was actually watching here:
"This time, I let Adelina also participate in my business. Although she can only provide some principal, Adelina is not young anymore, and she should have some income of her own."

"Randall Valley. I may go there in the near future."

Xia De said, smelling the perfume on the fiery red hair:

"If there is something that needs to be dealt with, you can let me do it."

"Of course, you are polite to me, but I will not be polite to you, my knight. Speaking of which, Margaret Anjou will be going to Randall Valley City in the near future, and you should be able to meet her."

"Ok?"

Xia De is completely unaware of this:

"For your business?"

"Of course not. It's Princess Margaret Anjou and Prince William Anjou of Carson Rik, who are going to Randall's Vale to attend the completion and unveiling of the United Kingdom Naval South Dockyard No. [-]."

Xia De didn't quite understand this, so Rezia said to her sister:
"Adelina, test you and explain this to the knight."

Adelina nodded, her tone became serious:
"William Anjou is the second prince of Kasenrik, who was in charge of naval affairs many years ago. And Princess Margaret Anjou visited Tobesk at the end of last year, and because of the trade agreement reached with her father , made great contributions, so he was also entrusted with important tasks. However, according to current intelligence and speculation, this trip is also related to the political struggle between the two royal families. A more credible statement is that this shipyard The unveiling will be completed after the year-end festival, which is related to the dispute in the Pantanal region. The king of Kaserik hopes to gain an advantage on the negotiating table by expanding the navy."

"Negotiations? Pantanal's borders and trade routes?"

Xia De asked worriedly, Rezia nodded, praised her sister slightly, and said to Xia De:
"It's a pity that you didn't become a baron during the awarding season. However, what you did for MI[-] must not be exposed. I will discuss with the princess of the southern country whether you should make a new The merits of the country. The princess of the southern country also has her own political enemies."

She seemed to be saying something terrible.

"Looks like it's going to be busy again."

Xia De sighed, and Rezia thought about it and asked:
"If I remember correctly, your time key has been delayed for a long time, do you have any plans to use it recently?"

Shad couldn't say why he couldn't use the key, so he told the girls "I want to take a break."The time of being punished was the early morning of the new year, which was also a Wednesday, and today is also Wednesday, which happens to be the last day of two weeks:
"I plan to postpone the key work until Sunday. I am used to starting at that time. After half a month of rest, I will start activities."

Shad turned his neck slightly. His next stop was the "City of Spring" - Randall Valley City. Luvia in her dream pointed out that in this city, there is the only hidden weapon that can lead to the afterlife. The Sixth Epoch time key.In order to find out what happened in the past and what will happen in the future, Shad must get the key, and the sooner the better.

"Speaking of which, the next Red Butterfly Day is approaching, do you have any plans?"

Tonight is the time for a date with Rezia, Xia De put those troubles behind him for a while, and asked Her Highness the Princess again.Rezia shook her head regretfully:
"Dorothy said that the Red Butterfly Day has been temporarily cancelled. She has been very busy recently, and winning the Kingdom Popular Literature Award has really made our Miss Writer famous. Moreover, she is quite dissatisfied with her grades in the end-of-year exam. Satisfied, I am busy reading and studying recently. The summer exam week is still far away. Really."

Half complaining, she also approved of Dorothy's choice.

"Cancelled? Postponed until what time?"

"At the beginning of next month, Adelina's birthday party."

Rezia glanced at her sister:
"When the three of us meet again, do you still remember the wedding banquet at Lakeview Manor? Instead of a low-quality date for three people, it's better to make every meeting a memory that can be engraved for a lifetime."

Her words were entangled with the high-pitched singing on the stage, and the look in her eyes seemed to melt Xia De.

Xia De has no objection to this. Although Adelina has some small opinions, she will not say them out.

It’s just that when I bid farewell to Shad at the Opera House that night, and the princesses returned to the Yodel Palace in a carriage under the protection of the royal guards, the little princess asked her sister hesitantly:

"Sister, in the future, if your multi-person party is short of people and your friends can't arrive, you can call me."

It took Leizia a few seconds to understand what she meant, so she blushed slightly, half annoyed and half ashamed, and flicked her sister's forehead with her fingers:

"After I go back, I will ask my personal maid to check whether you have read any unhealthy books recently. Oh, Adelina, a lady of the royal family, would not say such a thing."
