Whispering Poems

Chapter 3191 Happiness
Although Danister was asking the question to Flora behind the door, her eyes were looking at Shad.

Shad could not answer, he could not tell what Flora had done with her hair when they were in the club that afternoon after Willendel's funeral.

The witch inside the door hesitated for a moment and then whispered:

"He made me bend over the table and spanked my butt a few times."

While this still sounds wrong, it pales in comparison to what they actually did.

Danister's eyes shifted to Shad again, and she was obviously surprised that Shad would do this. So Shad coughed and avoided her gaze, because he didn't know what expression he should have at this moment.

The red-haired girl pursed her lips and was silent for a long time before she spoke to the half-open door:
"Flora, do you really know you are wrong?"

"I really got it! I invaded your privacy just to satisfy my own creative desires, which is obviously wrong."

She just wanted to find material for her own creation, not that she couldn't tell right from wrong.

No one knew whether Danister believed her, but the administrator had already thought about how to punish the owl before she came:

"Today is the end of the year, and it should be a happy holiday for everyone to celebrate. Since Xia De is here to persuade me, I can give you a chance to forgive you. But that is definitely not something you can just apologize verbally. Even the young students in the academy know that if you make a mistake, you will be punished."

"What are you going to punish me for? Can you please not hit me in the face?"

Flora said worriedly, and Danister almost laughed out of anger:

"Do you think I'm that kind of person? Flora, if you don't want me to be more disappointed in you, just shut up for now. Whatever punishment Shade gives you, I will do the same."

The gray-black-haired witch hiding behind the door turned pale:
"You want me too. I mean, you want to hit me there too?"

Shade also looked at Danister, but she shook her head:
"I'm not interested in that. I mean let Shade do it. Just 10 strokes, right here. Now come out and lie on the dining table. When this punishment is over, I will forgive you for what you did."

She smiled as she spoke:
“Of course, I will be there to supervise the process, but I will not hide in the closet, and I will not draw this incident.”

So what she cared about was not the "punishment" itself, but the fact that she also wanted to watch Shad and Flora doing private things.

“I feel like I’m being used as a tool.”

Shade complained a little, but didn't feel that Danister's request was excessive. The red-haired girl smiled and pursed her lips:

"Shad, be honest, aren't you looking forward to what's going to happen next?"

Xia De didn't want to lie, so he turned his head away and didn't answer.

Flora in the bathroom didn't think too much before she took the initiative to come out. She whispered an apology to Danister again, and then told Shade to be gentler with some fear, and then walked to the dining table in the restaurant of Room 2 on the third floor that had never been used.

This table probably never imagined that its first use would be to do something like this.

But at least Danister didn't make Flora take off the important clothes like a punished child, so it seems that she chose to show mercy.

As for Xia De, Xia De didn't want to express any opinion. But when he really raised his right hand and looked at the scene in front of him, he still felt that this matter was very absurd:
"Aren't we celebrating the New Year's Eve?"

Danister, who was watching from the side, warned:

"If you don't do it now, I will think that you want to do it in front of everyone when we go to the hot springs tonight. Or, if Flora is willing to turn into an owl and be locked in a cage for the entire year-end festival, I can forgive her."

"Shad, come on, I'm ready!"

Flora said immediately that if Shad didn't take action, she would move back into Shad's palm.

Anyway, no matter what happened in the middle, after ten similar noises, the matter ended peacefully.

Flora, with a blushing face, was forgiven, although afterwards she looked at Shad with eyes that seemed to be about to shed water... probably tears; Danister successfully completed her "revenge" and decided to share Room 2 on the third floor with Flora while staying off-campus, but this revenge made her think of what Shad had done to her, so she began to doubt whether she had chosen the wrong method.

Even Shad had a new experience.

[Is this brand new? ]

"Well, of course it counts. At least this time, both me and the girls are wearing clothes... So clothes feel like this, it's really different."

As the evening approached, the atmosphere of celebration in the city became more intense. Iluna showed up at around five o'clock, and Emilia welcomed her with a hug. Shortly after Iluna arrived, the bell downstairs rang again.

"who is it?"

All the girls who were supposed to arrive had already arrived, so Shad thought that Leicia and Ajelina had escaped from Yodel Palace early, but Dorothy said that the princesses did not come.

The maid opened the door downstairs, and soon Vanessa and Hillis appeared upstairs.

"Shad! Surprise!"

Vanessa, who had just met yesterday, happily gave Shade a hug, and the other girls also welcomed their arrival. Now, of Room 6 and Room 7, only Room 1 on the third floor of Room 7 was vacant, which was just enough for them to live in.

Hillis originally thought that someone would make fun of them for saying they wouldn't come but coming in the end, but no one would do something like that to ruin the festive atmosphere.

It was also because of Vanessa's arrival that the young dark-haired girl looked very angry when Sylvia showed up before dinner at 6 St. Teresa's Square:

"Wait a minute, Vanessa, didn't you say you couldn't come? If I hadn't come by myself, wouldn't I be the only one missing this year's end-of-year party?"

She is indeed the eighth great witch to arrive.

Megan and Sylvie were delighted and pulled her to sit down:
"Don't talk about that. Besides, didn't you come here suddenly without telling anyone else?"

Sylvia said she would not come after the battle of the woodland, when her relationship with Shade was still on the last step. But now it is different, she said she would not miss this family gathering at the end of the year.

"I did say I would not visit Tobesk this time, but you should have informed me when Vanessa came, otherwise I would have been the only girl who didn't come."

She was still complaining unhappily, and Matilda, who was setting the table with the maids, placed the porcelain plates and knives and forks in front of her.

"Margaret is the only one who didn't come."

Karina sat at the table, holding her chin and corrected with a smile:
"My nieces and nieces will be here after the dinner at the Yodel Palace. They are not attending the dinner but the evening activities."

Margaret's teacher was Vanessa, and before Vanessa could speak for her, Sylvia remembered that she had "robbed" the young blonde princess at the funeral, so she asked Dorothy first:
"We will arrive at the woodland after dinner. Can you, Lecia, Grace, and Helen bring Margaret from Willendal as well? We can't leave her out alone for this kind of thing, otherwise it will seem like everyone is ostracizing her."

The writer agreed, but Carina still thought she was talking about herself.

Since the outsiders took over this house, the living room has never been crowded with so many people, including the eight great witches, their respective witch apprentices, Miss Elither, Grace and Helen, as well as ordinary girls like Hillis, Dorothy, Iluna and Emilia. If the living room was not big enough, not even everyone could be there at the same time.

But everyone liked this lively atmosphere. When Tifa and the maids came from the manor outside the city with the dining cart, the witches who had already changed their clothes even took the initiative to participate in serving the food and the rest of the table arrangement.

At this time, the sunset outside the window has gradually faded, and the last night of 1854 is approaching. Shad also wants to participate in the table setting before the year-end dinner, but Luvia and Dorothy gently push him away:

"There are hostesses at home, so why do you need to do anything?"

With the cat on his shoulder, who was looking forward to dinner, he stood aside and watched the girls chatting and laughing while making the final arrangements.

All the furniture in the living room had been turned into toys and temporarily put away. The long dining table covered with a white tablecloth extended from the dining room to the living room.

The golden candlesticks, expensive porcelain plates, glass goblets, silver knives and forks all seemed to be shining in the warm gaslight. The walls of the living room were rearranged, and the witches' own photos were framed and hung all over the walls.

The walls were replaced with new wallpaper, the wooden floor underfoot was covered with thick carpets, and even the fireplace was cleaned inside and out, and the crackling flames well showed everyone's good mood at the moment.

The dining cart was parked next to the table, and girls in maid dresses were walking in and out of the living room. The sound of high heels and small leather shoes touching the floor was the most elegant melody, and the sound of witches laughing and talking was the best tune for Shade at the end of the year.

He stood there watching the scene at home for a long time before looking at the window again.

The windows outside are lit up just like No. 6 Saint Teresa's Square at this moment. Snowflakes are flying in the city as the night deepens. No matter how the busy year has been, people want to get a moment of rest tonight.

Against the backdrop of the lights coming on, the night deepening, and a light snow in the middle of winter, he saw his own face reflected in the window glass again.

Looking at his reflection with the cat on his back, he suddenly felt that everything at the moment seemed unreal.

Luvia said, "Destiny is a double-edged sword." He could barely feel the edge of destiny now, but the blade was pointed at other people:
"So what will the blade of fate bring to me?"

The face of the deceased "Chosen One of Darkness" Ivan Darkness somehow appeared in front of him. Surrounded by happiness, Shad remembered what more than one person had said about his future ending, and he actually felt a rare sense of worry, which had never appeared before.

He was not the kind of person whose mood would be ruined by sudden anxiety, so he was not depressed at the moment, but was just curious about why he suddenly had such emotions.

[Because in the past, you never had so much. ]

PS1: The picture in this chapter is "Household conditions at the end of the year in 1854 - End".

PS2: There are currently eight witches, but Sylvia and Megan/Audrey have no apprentices, the former is too young, and the latter was too crazy before. Plus, Vanessa's apprentice Margaret didn't come, so there are five apprentices.
