Whispering Poems

Chapter 1564 Horse Racing and Handkerchief

The morning race schedule was quite smooth, the only episode was before the riders were ready to set off, the second son of Duke Serich, who looked younger than outsiders, Mr. Enhor Serich found Shad alone:
"Hamilton of Regard, I will use this match to prove that I am more suitable for Your Highness Rezia than you!"

After the young man finished speaking, he put on his helmet and left.

"Who is he?"

Xia De asked the blonde girl beside him in surprise. Of course, the soul at this time was Rezia, and Her Royal Highness wanted to bless Xia De before leaving:

"As a passionate suitor, I also have many suitors in the city."

Rezia said, then tiptoed and kissed Shad's side face:

"But those are all fools, and no one can compare to you in my heart."

Xia De nodded in agreement, then turned his head to look at the back of the young Mr. Serich.He was not careful, because he wanted to kill others in this way, he just thought that he would win whatever he said.

The horn sounded, and the knights leaped from the Edward III Arena.The troubadours holding binoculars, through the huge loudspeaker equipment of the steam power source, constantly reported the information of the riders at the front to the enthusiastic audience.

Although the audience couldn't see the athletes running on the country trails, the atmosphere at the scene was more lively than yesterday's archery competition.

As for Xia De, he has fully practiced horse riding skills that outsiders could never imagine in the original world during the winter.And compared to the creek forests where there are no roads in the Randall Valley, riding in the Tobesk countryside is simply too simple.He has been at the forefront since the start, and the horse that Miss Galina selected for him really performed really well.

In the end, when Shad was the first to appear on the track outside the Edward III Arena, and rushed into the arena with at least ten lengths ahead of No.2 and crossed the finish line, there were cheers from the entire arena The sound spread like a steam bomb explosion.

Not only is he superb in riding skills, but also the unique smell of the female dragon that has not completely dissipated from him makes his mount very obedient, and also makes other players' mounts subconsciously slow down once they are approached by him.Of course, Shad would not say this.

The cheers and applause seemed to never stop. After Shad, the bards were still loudly announcing the names and origins of the riders who reached the finish line.As No.1 in this horse race, Xia De had the honor to board the auditorium after everyone returned to the arena, and was received by Queen Diana who came to watch the game.Rezia is still in the city today, but Adelina, who came with her mother, is quite excited.

At 11:30 in the morning, Xia De could finally leave the arena. Amidst the loud praises of the people, when he joined the smiling Dorothy, the little princess even asked someone to deliver her own handkerchief.

"Her handkerchief."

Naturally, Dorothy recognized the handkerchief at a glance, but she didn't put it away, but put it in Shade's pocket herself.

Xia De thought this was the end, but he didn't expect that during the following lunch, the servants who came frequently brought him more than ten handkerchiefs, some of which even had red hickey marks and addresses on them.

Neither Tifa nor Dorothy felt strange, but felt Shad's reaction was weird:
"It's like this every year. This is the climax of the Ring Riding Competition. Yesterday can only be regarded as a warm-up."

Said the usual blonde girl.

"I don't quite understand, why didn't this happen yesterday?"

Shade frowned at the handkerchief that he didn't know what to do with, while Tifa explained from the side:

"Compared to the more skillful shooting sports, people regard equestrianism as the most direct representation of chivalry and chivalry. I think not only receiving handkerchiefs now, but also sending love letters and handkerchiefs to No. [-], Place Saint Teresa in the next week There must be quite a few people with all kinds of letters."

After all, Xia De directly published his information on the newspaper advertisement.

"After tomorrow's duel with the knights of the day after tomorrow, you will receive not only a handkerchief, but also all kinds of strange things. I mean the garter."

The blonde girl said with a smile, using a notebook to record what happened today as material for writing.Although the competition is calm for the time being, she is planning to use this competition as a model to conceive an ingenious murder case.Of course, Dorothy did not forget, and presented her handkerchief to Shad after lunch as a reward for Shad's victory:
"Keep winning, knight, you'll get more."

After a three-hour break, the afternoon race officially started.The afternoon race is a horse race in the arena. You must run enough laps within the specified time, and during this period, you must use your hands to grab the silk scarf next to the fixed route.After the time is up, points are scored according to the distance traveled and the number of scarves obtained.

Because of the limited area in the arena, the 36 people were divided into 4 groups, and this time Shad was assigned to the last group.

By the time he finished his game, it was already around five o'clock in the evening.Xia De, who had quite good grades, once again met people gathered and applauded at the gate of the arena, and when he returned to the tent, the reporter of "Steam Bird Daily" came to rely on Dorothy's relationship, and gave Xia De another verbal review. interview.

This is even more troublesome for racing horses.

That night, Xia De still did not arrange any extra activities, and returned to Galina Manor for dinner like yesterday, and then returned to the city with Dorothy.

However, Dorothy did not spend the night at No. [-] Saint Teresa Square tonight. She has an elective class in the college tomorrow morning, and she has to go back to prepare in advance tonight, and she will not be able to join the Shade in the arena until the afternoon tomorrow.

But Xia De didn't rest alone that night. Around nine o'clock, Xia De, who was flipping through "The Book of Malpas Demons" in his study, felt an astonishing heat suddenly emanating from the badge on his chest.Then the door downstairs was opened by the key, and the witch walked up the stairs aggressively, looked around in the living room, and found that the house was eerily quiet, only Xia De stood at the door of the study with a book in surprise, while the door of the bedroom It was open, and only Mia looked out, and realized that there were no other "guests" here tonight.

"Good evening, Galina, why are you here?"

Xia De greeted, and the witch waved to the maids behind her to go to the first floor to rest:
"You don't want to stay with me, so why don't you allow me to stay with you? Louisa and Anat can do it, and I can do it too."

It seems that she still remembers the "surprise" she saw when she arrived this morning.

As she spoke, the witch raised her hand and took off the hair pin that bound her beautiful long red hair, and threw it on the coffee table.The red hair spread out behind her, and the witch walked towards Xia De:

"Knight, you shouldn't tell me that you are too tired today, so you want to rest alone?"

The golden eyes stared at Xia De, Xia De was stunned:
"Tired? It's just riding a horse today. Compared with the adventures and explorations I have done in other cities, today is like a rest day."

"Well, let me see if you boasted too much about yourself. I don't believe that you will still be sick after this time."

She grabbed Xia De's collar very impolitely, and then kissed Xia De.

(Iruna is praying.)

"So, do you know that Shade is going to play all day today?"

Early on Wednesday morning, at the dining table at No. [-] Place Saint-Andrés, Xia De felt that he heard a very familiar sentence, which was also said yesterday morning.

It's just that the one who uttered this sentence now was Rezia, who finally took the time to see Shad, and the one who was questioned was Miss Galina, who uttered a similar sentence yesterday morning.

"Resia, don't worry, I've personally verified that events like the Ring Riding Competition are not even a warm-up for Xia De. He still has a lot of physical strength. Really a lot."

While speaking, the witch spread jam on the slice of bread with a silver table knife, which made Rezia look even more annoyed.

Fortunately, Leiziya knows how to suppress her anger, she looked at Xia De again, and the anger in her eyes startled Xia De:
"I"

"No, I shouldn't be mad at you."

Rezia closed her eyes and adjusted her emotions. If the dissatisfaction with her aunt was like being harassed by random knocking on the door, then the dissatisfaction with Xia De was like Xia De being woken up by Mia in the early morning.

"According to the current game points ranking, you are ranked first. I hope you can be more careful today. Although today's duel is wearing armor and using wooden swords, no one can guarantee whether someone will play any tricks. Every In a few years, there will always be fools who use extraordinary power under the nose of the church."

"Don't worry, I will win for you."

Rezia showed a gentle smile:
"You can always speak what is in my heart. Also, have you heard that something happened to Earl Lewis of Carson Rik."

"Didn't he be accidentally shot by an arrow outside the Edward III Arena on Monday, and then shot in the heart by a killer?"

Shad held a slice of bread and said, Miss Galina smeared grape jam, while Shad chose applesauce.Speaking of which, it is a luxury to be able to eat fresh jam in this early spring season.

"Yes, killer."

Rezia glanced at Xia De with a smile, then shook her head again:

"But that's not what I'm talking about. After the earl was injured in the arena, his deputy replaced him in the city to concentrate on negotiating matters. The earl didn't wake up until last night. As a result, when he rested in the middle of the night, the bed he slept in It collapsed, I heard this morning that his left leg was broken."
