Twenty minutes later, Sirius Lathers walked out from behind the stage and onto the stage where the curtain was still drawn.
The lights from the lens above the stage still illuminated the place, and when the blonde girl walked up, she even felt a little hot. With a smile on her face, she looked up and saw the blonde witch sitting alone on the silk cloth, supporting herself with her left hand and reaching her right hand behind her back to try to button up the tight top.
The witch's beautiful blonde hair looked even more charming under the stage lights. Her originally fair skin, under the stage lights, showed a strange and attractive color with a blush.
"I sent Shad away, and I gave him the black time key extracted from the land... I thought you would let him stay tonight."
As he spoke, Sirius knelt on one knee behind her and reached out to help her button up the dress that was tight around her chest. The young girl looked at her sweaty neck and sniffed a strange smell.
The witch blushed:
"I still have some concerns. After all, no witch has ever done this before. What happened tonight was excessive enough."
"Yes, yes. No witch has ever done what happened in the last twenty minutes."
Hillis repeated.
"Of course not. At least someone did it on Saturday."
Miss Benanis retorted immediately, and then blushed immediately, but fortunately her back was facing away from Sirius.
The young girl narrowed her eyes slightly:
"Please take a deep breath. When you sewed this dress, you only considered using the special fiber invented by Miss Sylvia to embroider the beads so that the beads would swing more beautifully when dancing. Didn't you consider whether this dress would fit your body?"
"Hilice asked. The witch noticed that her friend's mood seemed a little off, but the "other me" didn't see anything from her face. She was too embarrassed to explain that she deliberately sewed a size smaller, so she changed the subject:
"What do you think I'm going to do? Oh, Sirius, do you think I'm a frivolous person? This is a stage."
"But for you, after a performance in which you put all your emotions into it, creating a new relationship on stage with a man you approve of, isn't that the most romantic thing?"
Sirius, who knew her well, asked with a smile, and while the witch was taking a breath, he finally buckled the hook on her back into place. She stood up, and then pulled Miss Benanis up as well. The witch said again:
"But I was covered in sweat, and that's not romantic at all."
"Don't be ridiculous, Vanessa. Witch sweat doesn't have a strange smell. And from what I see, Shade really likes you being soaked in sweat..."
"Sirius!"
Miss Benedict, blushing, interrupted her loudly, and then, turning back half ashamed and half angry, she asked:
"Have you been peeking?"
The young blonde smiled tenderly:
"Yes. Including you said you still owed him a promise - because of the puppet incident. He said that the promise was that you should never forget him."
"you... ... "
Miss Benedict's face turned completely red, and the young girl lowered her head to the ground, then suddenly raised her head and said:
"Spring has arrived. The Golden Dawn has rested for the entire winter, and it is time to plan the location for the spring and summer performances in 1854. I take it, Vanessa, that you are not planning to stay in the Randall River Valley and be lazy any longer?"
The Witch of the Earth smiled, thinking of many things:
"So Sirius, do you have a plan for which city the Golden Dawn will go to next?"
"Of course."
Siris Lathers said, his fingers gently stroking the witch's sweaty and flushed shoulders:
"We will give him a surprise."
(Little Mia is running...)
"Is this what happened last night?"
On Tuesday morning, pigeons landed in groups on St. Teresa's Square, where the air was still good despite the smog, waiting to be fed by kind people. On the second floor of No. 6 St. Teresa's Square, it was already breakfast time.
The purple-eyed girl sat lazily at the table, listening to Shad tell her about the performance he watched at the Wilde Opera House.
Xia De dipped the breakfast biscuits into the hot milk and nodded:
"I don't mean to compliment another lady in front of you, but that dance..."
"I'm not such a petty person."
Luvia waved her hand:
"I just wanted to laugh."
"Hmm... do you want to laugh because of my performance?"
Xia De asked hesitantly, and Luvia shook her head:
"Of course not. You did nothing wrong. It was Miss Benedict who had the nerve to dance that dance and didn't let you stay there all night."
"Oh, Luvia~"
"I know you don't like talking about this kind of topic."
The purple-eyed girl smiled and touched the cat that was drinking goat milk, but Mia dodged her hand even with her head down:
"However, I am very interested in the scene you described. If I have the chance, I really want to go and see it. Don't look at me like that, Shade. I am interested in the meaning of the dance. From your description, it is a very ancient sacrificial dance, praying for a good harvest and a prosperous population. It is amazing that the witch could find such information."
Xia De recalled the scene of last night, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, lowered his head and continued to eat breakfast.
“Although it’s just a symbolic sacrificial dance, I think it still has an effect.”
Luvia continued, and Shade looked up curiously and asked:
"What's the effect? After she dances, will the Randall Valley region have a good harvest this year?"
Luvia shook her head and looked at Shade with a teasing look in her eyes:
"Of course not. I mean, you did very well last night. Even if you had lent me your leaf of eternal youth, I still couldn't handle it. Perhaps we could talk to her about having her dance for you more often before night falls. I don't think Her Royal Highness and Dorothy would object to that."
Shade almost choked on his bread:
"It's breakfast time now, let's talk about something that has nothing to do with the night."
Xia De was embarrassed to continue this conversation. He knew very well that the girl with purple eyes was just making fun of him:
"Speaking of the Everlasting Youth Leaf. You gave me your Everlasting Youth Leaf on Saturday, so you can take this one of mine."
"But you only have the last blade, don't you? You said it yourself, the last time key on the night of the Battle of Randall Valley didn't allow you to obtain any blades."
When she mentioned the key, Shad remembered the strange black time key that Hillis had given him when he left the Wilde Opera House last night with his shirt buttoned.
Because the area near the Night Temple was not the location for the Chosen Ceremony, and the church did not know that there was an entrance to the Heart of the Earth in the cave at the bottom of the hill, the church did not arrange for anyone to monitor the area. Therefore, Siris, who had already obtained the power of the earth, took this opportunity to extract the key that Shade wanted. The ceremony was actually very simple.
The strange black key was also made of wood, and its size was exactly the same as a normal time key, and even the ancient Elvish characters engraved on it were the same as a normal time key. But just as Luvia said in the dream, the wood was completely dead.
Because he got the key, Xia De thought that when he and Luvia were sleeping in each other's arms last night, the long-haired Luvia would let him enter the dream again to discuss the key, but unfortunately it didn't happen.
Therefore, Xia De planned to wait until the one-month "prohibition on the use of the time key" of the Father of the Infinite Tree expired, and then open the key and go to the Sixth Era of the Past World to take a look. The special time key is also a time key. Xia De had tried it after returning home last night, and the key could not be opened now.
But the good news is that the reason it cannot be opened is only because of the ban imposed by the tree father.
"Although there is only one leaf left, the effect of the Eternal Youth Leaf is not necessary for me. My own false immortality is very effective in saving lives. Besides, Luvia, do you want your face to age a little bit?"
Shade said jokingly, and Luvia patted him lightly:
"I have also learned some of your magic in the secret art of immortality. How is it possible that I have aged significantly?"
Despite saying this, she still accepted the leaf and gave it a kiss as a thank you gift.
Shad didn't plan to go to Randall Valley again today. He couldn't show up there often recently. The only thing he had to do today was to wait for Miss Carina to say "there is something for Shad to do" in the cemetery yesterday, so he seemed very lazy when eating breakfast.
Although Luvia was still on vacation today, she had just returned and had a lot of things to deal with. Not only did she have to finish writing the business trip reports to the academy and the Prophet Association, but she also had to publish the acquisition news on the black market before leaving the local area, as well as the backlog of work to be dealt with.
So, she left after breakfast, much to the disappointment of Shade who had planned to spend the morning at home with the purple-eyed girl.
"There will be plenty of time in the future, my knight. Why are you so disappointed? Am I usually very cold to you?"
When Shade sent Luvia downstairs, the purple-eyed girl pretended to be dissatisfied and said. Then she gently kissed Shade's cheek and whispered in his ear:
"If you could invite Dorothy to your house... I wouldn't mind... as a reward for you."
After saying that, he walked out of the room with a red face, leaving Xia De holding his cheek, wondering if he had just heard the sentence wrong.
Since he had nothing to do for the time being, Shad did not stay at home bored. He thought that even if Miss Carina sent someone, it would not be early, so he left Mia at home to look after the house, and went out to Old John's pawn shop.
