Whispering Poems

Chapter 1558 The Handkerchief
Xia De couldn't understand this intricate relationship, so he said;

"So, Princess Rezia and Princess Adelina are also related to Mr. Furren? Oh, but I will not show mercy, gentlemen, for His Highness Rezia, I will win. "

This is not a hostile declaration, but social politeness.And Queen Diana finally asked what she really wanted to ask:
"Xia De, you can talk to Mr. Furren. Although they don't have the title of knight, they are well-known in Carsonrick for their conduct and demeanor. Speaking of which, why would you think of using Rezia to swear?" ?”

Xia De felt that Dorothy beside him touched his hand lightly, and he gave the answer that Her Royal Highness had already prepared without changing his face:
"His Royal Highness heard the news that I was going to participate in the equestrian competition around the city when I corresponded with my female companion tonight, Miss Dorothy Louisa, and asked me if I would swear in the name of the Duchess of Saladir. .Miss Galina advised me not to do this because it involves some...inheritance issues."

In fact, Xia De didn't know what it meant, but Rezia thought that as long as Xia De said that, it would be fine.

"My set of armor was purchased from an antique collector that His Royal Highness Leizia helped to find. In order to thank Your Highness, I am in her name——I will bring her victory."

The expression on Queen Diana's face remained unchanged, and she talked with Xia De about the process of his acquaintance with Rezia, and cared about his health issues after recovering from a serious illness, while Xia De politely thanked the Queen for sending someone to visit Flowers and presents from him.

Such a conversation also made the Fulun brothers basically sure that Xia De could not be a ring warlock.

Afterwards, the Furren brothers talked about what they had seen and heard during their journey from Willendale to Tobesk, and their impressions of Tobesk.

When the dance started after eight o'clock, Xia De took Dorothy out of the rest area and invited the blonde girl to dance.

The first dance tune is very soothing, and Dorothy leans on Shade's chest and moves with him:
"Rezia did this this time because she thought that one day others would know about your relationship."

"Of course, people will also know about our relationship. I never thought about making you my secret lover."

Xia De said softly.

Dorothy said "Hmm!" and said:
"Before the ball is over, ask Adelina to have a dance. This is Rezia's arrangement, don't make Adelina sad."

"no problem."

Shad turned his head across the crowd on the dance floor and looked at Queen Diana who was still sitting on the sofa.At this time, a man with the appearance of a southerner, in his 40s, with green eyes, hooked nose and deep sunken eye sockets, was talking with the queen at the position where Shade was sitting just now.

"What are you looking at?"

asked Dorothy.

"Lord Lewis of Carson Rik."

Xia De replied, Miss Writer frowned slightly:
"I know this man, and his reputation is not good at all. In Rezia's memory, when she visited Willendale last year, she almost had a conflict with the earl. Shade, after this dance, you Just invite Adelina, and don't let Adelina come into contact with such people."

Although Dorothy was not Adelina's own sister, she cared about her as much as Rezia.

"Ok."

As he spoke, Shade took out a lady's knitted and embroidered handkerchief from his pocket, and stuffed it into Dorothy's hand.The fabric of the handkerchief is quite high-end, and the white fabric is embroidered with blooming black roses:

"I'm going to invite Adelina to dance. Go find some perfume and spray it on the handkerchief. It's the kind of perfume used by courtesans. Also, don't touch this handkerchief for a long time. There are bad luck curses on it."

Dorothy put away the handkerchief, followed Shade's steps, looked up and asked him with a smile:

"It seems that you have been prepared for a long time. Are you going to vent your anger on Leiziya?"

Although the original purpose was not this, of course Xia De couldn't foolishly mention Miss Galina's name at this time.

So after dancing the first dance with Dorothy, Shad walked in the direction of Princess Adelina.Her Royal Highness, who has reached the age of 17, of course has many suitors around her, but she has been rejecting others.

When she saw Dorothy leave temporarily and Shade walked towards her, Agelina even took the initiative to walk towards him, but after being reminded by her maid, she reservedly returned to her spot and watched Shade go come over.

"Your Highness, may I invite you to dance?"

Now Agelina didn't need to be reserved anymore, she pursed her lips and held Xia De's hand, feeling that although Dorothy Louisa was very similar to her sister Rezia, sometimes she was even her own sister, But he is much more generous than his sister.

The princesses of the royal family have very good dancing skills, after all, they have professional tutors to teach them.So while Adelina rarely dances with Shad, the two work together pretty well.

"Shad, you and Aunt Galina."

Under the cover of the dance music, she finally asked the question in her heart.Xia De knew what the little princess wanted to know, and he felt that he wanted to protect Miss Galina's reputation:
"She didn't force me, I did it voluntarily."

He answered softly, dancing minuet with Adelina.Compared with the popular waltz in recent years, this unpretentious court dance has a more dignified, elegant and graceful style.Although the enthusiasm of the waltz is fascinating, the minuet still has a clear advantage among the court dances of this era.

"Voluntary"

Adelina bit her lower lip, and then asked:

"Xia De, does Aunt Galina play a very important role to you?"

"Yes, I need her strength and influence. But don't think too much about it, she and I really love each other."

Xia De explained another sentence, but apparently Adelina focused on the first half of the sentence:

"Power?"

Xia De felt that her hand was slightly exerting force, and Xia De wanted to say something more, but Her Royal Highness was already intoxicated by the dance music.

After dancing the dance with Adelina, the excited princess temporarily left the banquet hall and went to the lounge to touch up her makeup.Dorothy returned to Xia De, smiled and returned the handkerchief embroidered with rose patterns to Xia De.There was indeed a strong smell of perfume on it, and Xia De didn't know where Dorothy borrowed the perfume, but the smell did meet Xia De's requirements.

"It's funny how rare it is to see you take the initiative to do bad things."

Miss Writer said, Xia De corrected:
"I will not do bad things, let alone give this cursed item directly to others."

With that said, he straightened his tie:

"Wait here for me, Dorothy, I'll be back soon, and we'll dance on in a moment."

"No problem, my dear knight."

Earl Lewis stood up from the sofa at this time and walked towards the door of the banquet hall, looking like he was going to the bathroom.So Xia De followed with his head down, and disappeared at the door with the earl one after the other.

At this time, Queen Diana had left the banquet hall, and Dorothy went to the window and waited patiently.She declined the invitation to dance from others and watched the night in the courtyard of the manor outside the window.

Xia De didn't keep his female companion waiting long before returning:

"It went well. I accidentally dropped the handkerchief in the corridor. I looked for it when I turned around, but I couldn't find it again."

Xia De said regretfully, bowed and stretched out his hand to invite Dorothy to dance, then held her hand and walked to the dance floor again:

"I really hope that the person who picked it up will not touch it often, otherwise."

"What if the person who picked it up really doesn't touch it often?"

Dorothy asked again, and Shad thought for a while:

"Then I will artificially create some accidents."

He said very gently:
"I don't mean to kill, but I can't let him leave Tobesk on his feet. Dorothy, don't talk about such spoilers, and let's keep dancing."

(Mia is running.)

The end of Sunday's banquet also means that the registration period for the Ring Riding Competition has officially ended.And with the arrival of another Monday, the last day of the Windy Moon, the much-anticipated "Ring of Tobesk Spring Riding Competition" finally came to the first day of the schedule.

But when he woke up early in the morning with Dorothy in his arms, what Xia De thought of was not today's game, nor the gift of the new week, but the time key:

"The Battle of Randall Valley took place from the evening of the seventh day to the early morning of the eighth day of the Windy Moon. That is to say, in the early morning of Tuesday a week later, on the eighth day of the Planting Moon in April, I was finally able to open that Take the black time key!"

Although there is still a week to go, this does not hinder Xia De's good mood.He guessed what he might encounter in [Past Life·Sixth Epoch], and wondered whether he might meet long-haired Luvia.

Of course, the latter conjecture is not very likely to come true, because when Xia De met Luvia for the first time in Lake View Manor last summer, she was obviously quite surprised by the fifth person in the team.That is to say, unless the long-haired Luvia had lost her memory, she should have never seen a stranger in the past.

But it doesn't matter if you can't see long-haired Luvia in the past. Shade believes that when she opens the black key, she should meet him again in her dream.Although the long-haired Luvia and Luvia are essentially the same person, and they are also the same person in soul, but Xia De still misses the girl who only came into contact with him in his dreams.

【Are you missing what you did with her in your dream? 】

"She" whispered in Xia De's ear, Xia De pretended not to hear her words.

And before breakfast that day, a letter sent home through Margaret's secret intelligence network brought new news and missions from "Grey Gloves" to Shad.
