Mystery: The Stars Returner

In a small villa, Sharon was flipping through a collection of stories. This was a book that Hasta bought specially for her, saying that it recorded the fairy tales from Fusac.

At first she refused, but after reading the first story, she felt that this book was well chosen, the stories in it were quite interesting, and it also introduced a lot of customs about Feysac.

But compared to this kind of fairy tale books, she prefers the stories written by Hastur himself. His stories seem to contain more whimsical ideas, and the protagonists of the stories are all to her liking.

There is Pinocchio who makes puppets, a genius magical girl who joins a magic academy, the Pea Man, and so on.

"Sharon, Hastur sent an invitation, inviting us to celebrate the New Year with him. What do you think of this idea?"

At this moment, Maric strode over with an invitation in his hand.

"Well, yes."

Sharon just replied lightly that it was a custom to celebrate the New Year. Since she left the Rose School and her teacher was no longer around, she had no expectations for this festival.

"You don't look very happy?"

"Have it?"

Maric seemed to smell the gossip, and said a little bit meanly: "Absolutely, do you regret rejecting Hastur's proposal to go to South Wales with him?"

"You really want to go?"

"Well, staying in Backlund always makes me feel like my time is wasted."

"Are you craving adventure?"

"I'm just a little tired of this life."

Maric sighed. He was now helping Sharon handle some things during the day. At night, he usually went to the Brave Bar to play cards with his living corpse while taking care of this stronghold.

A very ordinary life gradually became unbearable for him.

"Maric, it seems you haven't learned true restraint yet."

"I'm always inferior to you at this point, so you can be promoted earlier than me. Now, your resentful soul potion has been completely digested, right?"

"Ah."

"Is it any wonder that you are becoming more and more like a puppet now? Are you already acting in advance?"

"Maric, you are wrong. This is the real me, not just playing a puppet."

"Ok."

Maric did not discuss the issue further, but asked Sharon what gift she wanted to give Hastur.

"Sharon, are you going to the New Year's Eve party with nothing prepared?"

"..."

Sharon didn't answer the question. She really hadn't prepared anything yet.

Only Maric is very active in this kind of thing. She has always been very restrained, no matter in any aspect.

"If you do this, you will disappoint Hastur, who is looking forward to receiving gifts."

"You talk a bit too much."

Maric learned to keep silent, put the invitation on the small wooden table, and turned around to leave.

He hadn't prepared a gift yet, he just deliberately provoked Sharon.

……

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Azshara, your new clothes are ready. You can try them on first."

"Meow!"

Azshara put her front paws over her ears to show that she heard nothing.

"You already agreed to this last time and paid a lot of small silver fish in advance."

"Meow?"

Azshara looked confused and confused, as if she no longer remembered such a thing.

"You also agreed to wear a new outfit every month from now on."

"Meow!"

Azshara raised her little paw to protest, this is an unreasonable condition!

"Look, don't you remember this very clearly?"

"..."

Azshara shrugged her head and was handed to the maid by Hastur to try on new clothes.

Hastur himself also wanted to try on the dress for the banquet. As the New Year approached, there were more and more banquets among nobles.

Even though he tried his best to decline, there were always some banquets that he couldn't avoid.

For example, tonight's dinner for Prince Edsac. Who knows how he is still alive? According to the original description, he should have died for the witch and become a victim of the royal family's excuse to block the church.

But now that he had survived, he even invited himself to attend his dinner party. He spoke sincerely and even showed a humble and begging attitude.

For a prince to do this, Hastur can only go once, even though he doesn't like to participate in the Witch Cult.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Hastur arrived at Prince Edsac's estate in a carriage.

Prince Edsac was dressed in formal attire tonight and looked no different from before, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes and sorrow, making him feel a bit like Leonard the wandering poet.

What surprised Hasta was that Prince Edsac did not invite Mrs. Germani tonight. There were not many people coming to the banquet.

It must be that many nobles knew the story between him and the witch, and also knew that he had become an abandoned son of the royal family and was disliked by the king, so they specifically found reasons to reject his invitation tonight.

As soon as Hastur arrived, Prince Edsac walked over quickly, with a complicated expression and an unexpected tone.

"I didn't expect you to come to my banquet tonight. I thought you would reject my invitation as ruthlessly as before."

"Maybe it's because His Highness the Prince invited a few people to the dinner tonight, so I came here to make up for it."

Prince Edsac smiled reluctantly and invited Hastur to chat in the study on the second floor.

In the study, Prince Edsac took out the best tea from the royal family to treat Hasta, and said in a more relaxed tone than before: "I have always wanted to see you, especially after what happened."

"It's really surprising. I remember that I had no interaction with His Highness the Prince."

"It's true that we have no intersection, but I think you should be a friend worth making."

"His Royal Highness, you are ridiculous. I am not that good."

Hasta declined the request to make friends. He came here tonight mainly to see what Prince Edsac was going to do, not to make friends with him.

This can be a hassle.

"You have always refused my invitation before, probably because you have long known that the situation here is very troublesome."

"I just happen to have something to take care of."

Prince Edsac did not continue this topic, but said: "I want to know something about the Witch Sect. Can you answer my questions?"

"I don't know much."

Hastur thought for a while, and briefly introduced the organization of the Witch Sect to Prince Edesak. The introduction was very simple and did not involve too many secrets of the Witch Sect.

"Are all the witches in the Witch Sect really transformed from male to female?"

Hasta looked at him deeply and said, "Whoever appears in front of you is who it is. If there is true love between you, why do you care about the other person's past gender?"

This sentence is a killer sentence. Leonard obviously cannot accept this fact. This Prince Edsac has a little bit of true love.

"I just can't accept it for the moment..."

Prince Edsac's expression was very painful, but he soon suppressed his heartache and said instead: "If I want to find her again, what channels do I need to use?"

Tsk, it is indeed true love.

Hastur already understood the thoughts of Prince Edsac and said with a smile: "If she feels for you as deeply as you love her, then she should appear in front of you by herself."

"Really?" Prince Edsac looked obviously excited.

"When the time is right."

Hastur didn't say anything, he was also looking forward to whether the witch's love would be a happy one.

"It's better not to do it. If she comes to me, it will definitely put her in danger. I can't be so selfish."

Prince Edsac looked into the distance, looking deeply in love.

In this regard, Hastur could only say something about letting things develop naturally.

After solving the major problem on his mind, Edsac was in a good mood and took a sip of tea: "Baron Hastur Campbell, thank you for clarifying my doubts this time. To express my gratitude, I would like to transfer a building located in the North District of St. A villa near Muir Church is given to you, I hope you will not refuse."

“How did you know I wanted to buy a house in the North End?”

"I am also a prince after all. I really want to investigate some things, and I can still get some useful information."

Seeing this, Hastur didn't say anything anymore. With just a few words, he got a villa, and tonight's dinner was not in vain.

In this regard, Prince Edsac is still very generous.

It can be seen that he really loves that witch very deeply.

"I hope no one else knows about tonight's chat."

"I have forgotten the content of the chat just now."

……

When I came back from Prince Edsac, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Azshara was already sleeping soundly in her little nest. She must have been put through a lot of trouble getting dressed. When she saw Hastur coming back, she just glanced lazily and didn't even open her eyes.

Hastur did not disturb its rest. He went to take a bath first, then returned to his room, lay on the bed and entered the Hall of Stars, scanning a circle of stars as usual.

The next day, Hastur sent someone to give Xio a gift, which contained 1000 gold pounds.

Hugh put a lot of effort into solving the Lockhard matter and made things go smoothly. Her efforts were worth the money.

Moreover, the new year is approaching, and this money can also allow her and Forsi to have a good year.

With a huge sum of 1000 gold pounds, she would probably be too happy to sleep.
