Whispering Poems

Chapter 1854 Breakfast at Rose Manor

It was raining continuously, and it was already early Tuesday morning, but the air was frighteningly oppressive.

On the north shore of Lake Green, in the Rose Manor where Miss Galina stayed, in a window on the third floor of the mansion, Adelina was doing makeup and grooming in front of the dressing table made of three large mirrors with the help of the maids , but also heard what his maids said about last night at this time.

Agelina went to bed early last night, which is also her habit. The little princess still thinks that this will make her grow taller and have a better figure. Even though she is now 17 years old.And the maids who couldn't rest early because of work noticed an abnormality in the sky last night:

"It didn't rain last night, but there were thick dark clouds in the sky, and the clouds were strange, as if there were many people walking around inside."

Adelina's ears moved:
"Kayla, was there anything going on in the city last night?"

"Your Highness, we heard that martial law was originally planned in the city last night, but it was not enforced for some reason."

The tall maid replied, and Adelina knew immediately that there must have been an abnormality last night, but it had already been resolved.

"Oh, Your Highness, there is other news. Someone said that at around ten o'clock last night, they saw the shadow of an angel appearing over the city."

The maid who was combing her hair behind Adelina said again, looking at her own little princess in the mirror and thinking about it, but she couldn't understand what happened.But in short, everything is fine outside now, so it doesn't matter what happened last night.

She was in a good mood and was thinking about what to have for breakfast later. The brown-haired maid who was choosing shoes for Adelina in front of the shoe cabinet added:
"The gentleman from last night seems to have come to the manor after ten o'clock, and he has not left."

"That gentleman" naturally refers to Xia De, but when the maids talk in private, they usually don't call out his name directly, but use words such as "that gentleman", "you know who it is", "he (reread)" and so on.

"Jane, are you sure it's him?"

Seeing Adelina in the mirror looking at her with spirited eyes, the maid said with certainty:
"It should be true. Although the gentleman was in a hurry and I didn't see his face, I'm sure that Miss Servitt was following him with an orange cat in her arms."

"Oh, why are you talking about such an important matter now?"

A smile bloomed on Adelina's face. She urged the maid behind her to take care of her hair as soon as possible, and then suddenly thought of another question:
"Since he didn't leave last night, where did he rest? Aunt's place?"

"Probably not. Your Highness, please close your eyes."

The maid who drew Adelina's eyebrows with eyebrow pencil said softly:

"Miss Servet arranged for us to sort out the guest room in the manor last night. Yes, it is the one on the third floor. I think that gentleman should have spent the night in the guest room."

Now Agelina understood that Xia De probably had something urgent to deal with, so he stayed at Rose Manor.Thinking of this, her mood became better, and she looked forward to seeing Xia De at the dinner table even more.

After washing and grooming, Adelina held up the hem of her skirt, and even after being reminded by her maid, she still hurriedly led them to the restaurant of the manor.After the maid at the door opened the restaurant door for her, she was grand enough to sit at a table for ten people. At this time, only the red-haired duchess was sitting at one end of the table.

Although it wasn't just Adelina and Cavendish who followed Miss Galina on this trip, the Duchess only allowed Adelina and a few princesses to dine with her.The others are probably still washing and dressing at this time.

At this time, Miss Galina was holding a porcelain teacup containing black tea and reading a newspaper. There was no breakfast on the table in front of her, and she was probably still waiting for someone else.

Adelina then whispered hello to her aunt at the door, then walked to her side, and sat down on her left after the maid opened the chair for her.

She was trying to find a way to speak, and saw in the newspaper that the train broke into the city last week and the follow-up report of the assassination of the princess on the other side of the lake.

"Auntie, isn't Miss Servitt here?"

"I asked Tifa to go to the kitchen and remind them not to forget to prepare more breakfast, and you will see someone who will surprise you in a while."

The red-haired duchess holding a newspaper in one hand said, looking at Adelina with golden eyes:

"It's really early for you to come here today. Did you not rest last night?"

Adelina shook her head quickly, and asked with some expectation:
"Familiar person, the one from Tobesk?"

"Yes."

The Duchess replied again, and praised her grandniece:
"You don't seem surprised at all. That's right. A girl who makes a fuss about everything can't do great things."

The black tea was put in Adelina's hand by the maid, and she took a sip from the teacup, feeling that her good mood at this time was like the sunshine outside the window, even though it was raining outside.

Adelina didn't wait long, and the sound of footsteps in the corridor came from the half-open restaurant door.So Miss Galina also put down the newspaper and looked towards the door:

"Here, I thought it would take a while. I haven't had breakfast with him for a long time. This negotiation is really troublesome."

Adelina immediately lowered her head and straightened her dress, then stood up with a heartfelt smile on her face.

She looked at the door, the maid opened the whole door, and the footsteps had completely come outside the door:
"Good morning, Xia"

Halfway through her words, she met Leizia who walked in the door.

Rezia was quite puzzled by the expression on her sister's face at this time, and looked at Miss Galina, who had a smile on her face, and she didn't know what she was happy about.

"Why don't you keep going?"

The figure of Xia De with the cat on his shoulder also appeared from the door. He asked curiously, and the somewhat lazy Rezia shook her head, took Xia De's hand and sat down at the table together, and then looked at the opposite side in embarrassment. The seated own sister:

"Adelina was very strange just now. When she saw me, she first smiled from the bottom of her heart—it was like the smile when she found an interesting plot while secretly reading knight novels when the private tutor of the royal family was in class. This is It can't be faked. Then, her expression turned into disappointment. I remember, she just hasn't seen me for half a month, have I bored my sister so much?"

As he spoke, he touched his face.Adelina looked down at the tablecloth, wishing she was still in a dream, but fortunately Xia De came to her rescue:

"Lezia, stop joking so early in the morning."

As he spoke, he explained to Adelina:

"Rezia was still in Tobesk yesterday, and she just appeared here in an accident. We found her in the city last night, and Tobesk has already contacted her, so that Yodel Palace doesn't have to worry. Fortunately, There have been a lot of space transfers like this recently, and the church has been informed of this, and the church will probably send someone to talk to Rezia later, it’s not a big deal.”

"So, how do we explain to the people that my sister is here?"

Rezia is not a small person, if she doesn't show up in Tobesk for a long time, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

"Today or tomorrow, ask Rezia to accompany me to attend the meeting, and then announce that Rezia was secretly sent to send me some secret orders from my nephew. There have been rumors in the city recently, because the negotiations have been delayed , Both countries intend to suspend negotiations, so the appearance of Rezia at this time will only make people suspect that Yodel Palace has new ideas."

Miss Galina said, for Rezia, this is of course not a big deal, but if she uses this excuse, she may not be able to return to Tobesk in a short time:

"It just so happens that I'm short of manpower, so it's good to let Leiziya stay and help me with some things."

The beautiful duchess looked at Xia De with the laziness unique to the early morning:
"I was entangled in this negotiation, but this matter involves the national border and future new trade routes, so I have to pay attention. Now that Leiziya is here, the pressure on my side can also be reduced. Agelina, you and Rezia should learn more, your level of document writing is not as good as Tifa's, even if it's far behind Rezia's."

"How do I feel, are you mocking me for not being as good as your head maid?"

Rezia asked, the witch smiled and did not answer:

"In some respects, you really can't compare."

Her eyes moved down from Rezia's face, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile, and before Rezia understood:
"Last night, I saw how exhausted you looked, so I agreed to let Xia De accompany you. Little Rezia, the girls of the Cavendish family must know how to be grateful."

Xia De, who was involved in the conversation, coughed, and put the cat who was looking forward to breakfast on the high stool that the maid had just moved:
"Although Rezia's arrival was an accident, since you're here, stay at the manor first. Agelina, do me a favor. I usually keep an eye on Rezia. If she suddenly disappears, please notify us in time."

Rezia didn't object to this, and she also knew that it was unusual for her and Dorothy to encounter space transfer at the same time.Agelina nodded quickly, and seeing that Xia De was a little worried, she knew that he had encountered other troubles.

The rain outside the window was pattering. Although the little princess knew a lot of things at this time, she was still on the verge of awakening. She was still an ordinary person and knew that she could not help him.The inner desire for strength quietly emerged again. Looking at Shad across the table, Adelina gently pinched her right hand under the table.Someone seemed to laugh beside her ear, and she knew that the other self in her heart had become clearer and clearer.
