Whispering Poems

Chapter 2603 Vanessa's Arrival
Miss Winslet's question was quite direct. Shade shook his head:

"I don't know, but I'll go make sure of it."

He put the cat on his shoulder:
"As for the Adele Isabella thing. Yes, the Adele who looks more powerful is indeed the Adele of a different time."

He took out the pocket watch from his pocket and handed it to the two ladies. The pocket watch chain was the same as the one on Miss Winslet's wrist at this moment, and the silver ladies' pocket watch even had a name engraved in cursive on the back. Of course, they had all seen this:
"I can't say more. I don't want to fight the paradox bug again. Please forget about this matter and pretend that I don't know Adele Isabella yet."

Miss Danister nodded. This incident had little impact on her. At most, she just sighed that Shade's methods were more powerful than she thought.

But Flora Winslet looked at the pocket watch in her hand with a gloomy expression. This thing was enough to explain everything. She knew her Speaker very well. If they were just friends, she would never give her pocket watch to him.

But what she was thinking about at the moment was not that Shade could get along well with the Speaker in the "future", which might cause some problems for the Witch Council; she was just thinking that, except for her and Carina, other witches could accept it.
This caused a slight unhappiness in my heart. I first complained that the Speaker was so unrestrained, and then I realized that my thoughts seemed to have changed unconsciously.

Shad did not leave the hotel immediately. Too many things happened today, and they needed to sort them out comprehensively. In addition, it was necessary to let the two ladies know about the book he found in James Cumming's bedroom in the morning.

Therefore, when Xia De got up to say goodbye to them, it was already eight o'clock that evening.

It was still Miss Bell who sent Shad downstairs because Miss Winslet was too tired after maintaining her human form for a day.

"What do you think of Miss Isabella?"

The bold brunette asked as she and Shade walked down the stairs together. Neither of the two ladies asked this question.

"She is a very responsible person."

Shad then answered.

"Is that all?"

The black-haired girl asked again, looking at Shad with great curiosity, but she did not answer the question until Shad waved and left.

In fact, now Miss Winslet and Miss Danister both knew that Shad must have used some means to go home directly, and the reason why he didn't throw the crystal shoes directly in the room was not because he was worried about exposing the secret, but simply because he didn't want the hotel waiter to find out that he came in from the door every morning but never went out at night.

In short, when the crystal shoes were thrown out and fell to the floor of the stairwell at home, Shad finally ended this busy Wednesday.

After stretching, it transformed Mia back and ran upwards. Shade knew it smelled the tempting dinner because he smelled it too.

When I got to the second floor, I saw that the lights were on.

Tifa was busy with the maids in the kitchen. Sirius was standing by the wall with his hands behind his back, looking at the portrait of Shade in the snow painted by Hela Oxenfurt hanging in the dining room. Carina and Vanessa were sitting face to face at the dining table.

Seeing Shade walk into the living room, the two witches stood up with a smile. The red-haired Duchess winked at Shade, then deliberately stepped back so that the beautiful blonde witch could hug Shade:
"Shad, long time no see. Did Flora give you any trouble in Riverwood Town?"

Then she let go of Shad's neck, took his hand again, and looked at him carefully with her golden eyes, as if she was worried that Miss Winslet had made Shad lose three pounds:

"I didn't see you at Tobesk Railway Station in the evening, so I knew something must have happened there. Flora didn't explain to Carina what happened just now, she just said you encountered an ancient evil. Oh, please sit down, Flora said you haven't had dinner yet, and we are waiting for you to come back and eat together."

Xia De hugged her gently:
"You guys finally came to Tobesk, I should have been the one to greet you and prepare the restaurant."

He was quite embarrassed, but the understanding Vanessa smiled and shook her head, then pulled Shad to the dining table.

As expected, they hadn't had dinner yet, so Carina, Hillis, and Vanessa sat down together. Shad's experience on this Wednesday was so full that his story didn't end until after dinner.

"So the Miss Isabella who appeared today is the one from the Battle of Moon Bay?"

Carina asked after Shade finished his story, and Shade nodded, so the two witches looked at each other, not knowing what it meant.

And Shade asked about Vanessa and the others:
"Vanessa, Siris, where will the Golden Dawn Opera stay while in Tobesk? At Carina's estate?"

"It's too far from the city, and I can't reveal that I'm so close to Carina."

Vanessa replied, and Hillis added:
"The Duke has lent us the Duke of Rhodes's estate. The address is 19 Dignel Street in the south of Tobesk."

Shade knew this place. He had been there in the summer when he and Emilia were investigating the [Malicious Serial Curse Letter]. Duke Rod was Carina's elder brother. After his death, he left the manor to "Aunt Nymph's youngest daughter" in his will. Later, the manor was rented to Carina so that she could have a place to hold banquets in the city. (Chapter 2114)
"Next, we plan to spend the entire autumn in Tobesk. I have never spent autumn here before."

Miss Vanessa said with a smile, and Shad noticed that she was wearing the "Moonlight Ring" on her hand, and of course he understood what it meant.

Perhaps because Vanessa had just arrived in Tobesk, Karina took the initiative to take the maids away that night and left the time for her. However, this kind of "generosity" would probably only happen this time.

Shortly after dinner, Hillis smiled and covered his mouth, saying that he would go and see if everyone was settled in Rhodes Manor, so he left with Carina and her group. This resulted in only Shad, the blonde opera singer and Mia being left at home that night.

Vanessa also understood that everyone had given her some time. After seeing off the others in the hallway downstairs, she and Shad went upstairs again, still feeling a little shy:
“Although I’ve been here before through projection, it feels a bit unreal to actually step on the stairs of your house.”

"How do you feel about my home?"

“Although it’s not a big building like a manor, I like it here.”

When the two returned to the second floor, when Xia De wanted to kiss her to express his longing for her, Vanessa, who was a little shy, pushed Xia De again:
"Go take a shower first, don't be in a hurry."

By the time Xia De finished his shower and returned to the living room in slippers, the blonde witch was no longer there.

Mia lay on the back of the sofa with an unhappy look on her face and meowed at Xia De, so Xia De walked towards the bedroom.

The bedroom window was open, and the night wind made the curtains on both sides sway slightly. Vanessa Benanis, wearing a nightgown, put her hands on the windowsill and faced the window. The weather was good tonight, and her long golden hair swayed in the wind under the moonlight, while the silver ring on her finger was emitting a faint glow.

"What are you looking at?"

Xia De walked up to her and hugged her from behind. Vanessa leaned against Xia De's chest.

"Look at the scenery here. I want to see what the scenery is like when I'm not by your side, saying good morning, good afternoon and good night to you every day."

"So have you ever considered staying at my place while you're in Tobesk?"

Xia De asked, and Vanessa shook her head:
"That won't do. I still have to consider other people's feelings, right?"

She looked at the moonlit square in front of her with peace of mind:

"Jalina told you, I used to be a non-marriage advocate. I never thought that one day I would be wearing pajamas and hugged by my beloved, enjoying the night breeze and looking at the scenery outside the window. Sometimes it's right to make some changes, Shade."

Xia De thought she was going to say some sentimental words, but unexpectedly she lowered her voice and asked:

"If I'm not mistaken, when you and Karina made love, it was on the bed in this room, right?"

".Yes."

"Well."

She turned and looked at Xia De, with endless smiles and tenderness in her bright golden eyes. At this moment, even the three moons in the night sky were not as charming as her:

"Then don't waste your time tonight. You have no idea how much I missed you during the train journey. I wish I could be by your side right away.

Now I say: Whatever Carina can do in this house, I can do too.”

She smiled and hugged Shade's neck:
"I want to make this room smell like me."

She kissed Xia De's cheek, and Xia De had noticed that her body temperature was rising:
"Actually, you don't have to compare yourself with Karina. You two are not the same kind of people."

But the witch did not respond:
"I have heard privately that even if Jialina is at the twelfth level, she is still no match for you. Humph~ Although my level as a ring sorcerer is still at the twelfth level, my level as a witch has basically reached the thirteenth level. Shade, I will challenge you this time. I bet that although your romantic affairs are spread throughout the Fifth Era, I am definitely the first thirteenth-level witch to do so!"

The window closed automatically, and then with a swish, the curtains closed inward. The smiling witch boldly took Shade's hand and challenged him. Shade certainly would not reject Vanessa's enthusiasm, but when he wanted to take off the ring on the witch's right hand first, he was rejected:

"I'm going to wear this."

After saying that, she pushed Xia De and made him sit on the bed. She frowned and said:
"But wearing a ring seems a bit inconvenient, so why not do this!"
