Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the lounge on the third floor of Rose Manor. After getting permission, the sorceress from the Church of the Sun who came to search entered the room, chatted with Miss Megan Green from Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals, checked the traces on the windows and windowsill, and then left the room.
After a while, the door of the closet opened and Xia De walked out of the closet:
"Can you recognize who was on the rooftop just now?"
"Of course I can't recognize them. They are only seven rings. But it is obvious that they used divine magic. If I am not mistaken, those two people are from the Tyranny Club."
Megan said, now taking control of her body.
Shade frowned. He had heard of this group of ring sorcerers. The letter from Rotten-Eye Barry mentioned that the Tyranny Club, an illegal ring sorcerer group active in the border area, was also a ring sorcerer group that assisted "that gentleman", the ancestor of Edwards.
"The followers of the God of Tyranny, those war maniacs?"
"At least they are not completely crazy. They also considered the official confidentiality of the church and did not dare to let the ring wizard take action directly in the manor where Carina was staying. The person who broke in just now was an ordinary person. The ring wizard could have done it himself, but he waited on the roof."
Megan judged, and went to the window with Shade, watching the guests leave the manor through the gas-lit courtyard because the banquet was interrupted early. The well-dressed gentlemen and ladies hurried, and the police carriage running from the far side of the street added more dynamics to the scene.
"Another Ancestor is going to cause other trouble?"
Megan asked softly.
"Or maybe it's just another test by ambitious people."
Shade whispered softly.
No one knows the answer, but the time has come to the spring of the Sixth Era 1854. In this most beautiful season of the year, the order of the Old Continent is finally heading towards inevitable chaos.
Although no one died in the shooting incident just now, the local Baron Lubok was unfortunately hit in the left chest by a bullet. Fortunately, he was born with a heart on the right side so he did not die, but even so, the shadow of death has been cast on this welcome dinner that was originally full of joy and blessings.
The banquet ended early, and the guests left the Rose Manor in anxiety and uneasiness. The church originally thought that this place might be unsafe and wanted Miss Carina to leave, but the Duchess stated that she would not live in the church:
"If I'm scared off by a little gun eucalyptus when I first come to Green Lake, what am I going to do to overpower those Carson Creek guys next week?"
She rejected the proposal with words full of royal majesty, but did not reject the church's proposal to strengthen the protection of this place. It was half an hour later when Shade and Megan met Miss Carina again in the lounge on the third floor.
She pushed the door open with an apologetic look and said to Megan:
"I'm so sorry. I should have treated you well. You have to go back today. Please come back to see me tomorrow. I have two days of free time on the weekend before the meeting next week."
Megan nodded in understanding and told them what had happened to them. Hearing the name of the Tyranny Club, the Duchess sighed helplessly:
"The followers of that evil god were quite active during the Civil War in the Old World. The church even found out that a deputy secretary of the executive secretary in the military department of Delarion was a member of the Tyranny Club. But after peace came, they disappeared. I didn't expect that after so long, this group of people became active again... I understand, Audrey, Shad, I'll take you to the door. I'm really sorry for not entertaining you well tonight."
She was still worried about the secret she had discovered, and since she had been intimate with Xia De yesterday afternoon, she did not keep Xia De.
"Shad, you follow the maid to the carriage first. I will walk behind with Carina. I want to talk to her for a few more words."
The brown-haired witch continued, and Shade thought it was a secret in the council that he must not know, so he left with Tifa and some maids, which also made it convenient for him to say goodbye to Ajelina.
Megan watched Shad leave, then followed Carina and the other maids to the corridor.
When Shade walked away, the smile on Megan's face disappeared. She threw the "Silent Portal" at both ends of the corridor, then grabbed Carina Cavendish's hand and pressed it against the wall.
The maids around watched this scene with a smile, but they didn't think it was offensive. The red-haired duchess made a helpless expression:
"Really? My lover just left. Have you ever considered Xia De's feelings when you do this?"
"Jalina, I'm not kidding you, what is your relationship with Shade?"
Golden eyes looked into golden eyes, Miss Carina was not in a hurry:
"Was the conversation we just had just a dream? Have you forgotten it all?"
"No, I'm pretty sure you're lying."
Megan held Miss Carina's hand with one hand, and leaned against the wall with the other three hands. She lowered her voice very low, but it was a tone of gnashing teeth:
"Have you and him ever done that kind of thing?"
The maids around were blushing and chattering to each other. They were all the Duchess's personal maids. They not only knew the story of the head maid and the knight, but also knew what the knight and the Duke had done. But the great witches didn't care about them.
"Why do you think so?"
Because the two faces were too close, a shadow covered the red-haired witch's face, but it couldn't hide her curiosity.
"The way you looked at him just now..."
Megan said "viciously":
"It's no exaggeration to say that when you looked at him just now, your eyes were almost tearing. I don't believe that your relationship stopped at the last step! Jialina, what on earth did you do?"
"A stringy look in the eyes? Oh, I like this description, it's so apt."
The smile on Carina Cavendish's charming face remained unchanged, and there was a smug look in her golden eyes:
"As for what I did, isn't that my privacy, Miss Pharmacist?"
She said the name again, and when Megan's expression changed drastically, she suddenly leaned over and approached her face. Of course, she didn't kiss her face, but whispered a few words in her ear.
The expression on the face of the witch with brown shoulder-length hair changed from a little anger to surprise, then from extreme astonishment to blushing, and finally from blushing to fear:
"Oh, don't describe it to me. You actually, you actually dare to..."
She took two steps back and pointed at Miss Carina, who smiled brightly:
"Yes, it's better to strike first. This is an interesting experiment. It proves that no matter what happens with Shade, it will not affect the existence of the witches. He can enter and leave the council at will, and he is completely harmless to the witch council. He may even be useful... He unites us."
Carina looked directly into Megan's eyes:
"If you are sensible enough, you should know that you should keep everything you know to yourself. I originally planned not to tell anyone, as it would be more fun to keep it to myself, but I didn't expect you to be so smart and see through it."
"You actually did it... That's really amazing."
Megan quickly regained her composure. She shook her head quickly, as if to drive away the annoying mosquitoes:
"What we learned about Shade today is as important to us as the secret of our family's island in the middle of the lake. It's even more important than a single chosen person. Carina, do you know what you and them are doing?"
The Duke replied calmly:
"Of course I know. We have the power to make our own choices. Besides, this is not a betrayal of Parliament. Parliament didn't say that we can't do this, right? Yes, I am very sure that the clause that the Speaker emphasized to us does not include this clause."
Megan nodded with a deep expression:
"You don't have to try to convince me. Just based on what Shade has done for me, there's no way I'll let him go. I'll keep his secrets to myself, but I hope to know more. This is very interesting, and I also want to see how far the man I choose can go."
"Of course, you will know. Remember to come tomorrow morning, and we will go into the parliament together to report the progress of the investigation to His Excellency the Speaker."
"Well, I'll go back and think about it carefully. Although your bad taste is quite bad, I admit that you have kept this secret very well all along."
"So, will you do what I do?"
Miss Carina asked again, Megan blushed and shook her head slightly:
"I still have to focus on family matters. Besides, Xia De and I... ...are still a little short of the final step in our relationship."
Actually, I'm still shy.
So Miss Carina, who was satisfied, sent Megan to the door of the manor house. At this time, Shad also came with Tifa and the carriage.
Shad said goodbye to Miss Carina with a warm hug, then waved to Ajelina who was saying goodbye to him from the upstairs window.
The Duchess stood with Tifa, watching the carriage carrying Shade and Megan out of the manor. She took a deep breath, feeling the breath of the spring night in Green Lake City:
“Fun night, but it’s going to be a busy night.”
The speeding carriage carrying Shad and Megan left the police checkpoints on both sides of the street and headed to the witch's cruise ship at the Duin River Pier.
Along the way, Megan said nothing. When Shade brought up the topic several times, she just responded casually. When she returned to the cruise ship, she grabbed Shade's hand and went into her own room, looking at him closely:
"Shad Hamilton, can we still get along like before?"
She said Xia De's name for the first time, and Xia De nodded:
"I think it's okay. Even though we've hidden so many things, it won't change our relationship... You don't have to worry about the Witch Council."
Although the speaker, Miss Insabella, had a high voting power in the parliament, with the seven witch reverberations of Feliana, Orlano, Fiona, Violet, Theresa, Chloe Yin, and Luvia, Shade alone had 14 votes. If the parliament really held a meeting to decide his affairs, he even thought that he had a great chance of winning.
He hugged the girl in front of him, but he didn't expect that this was exactly what Megan wanted to do. The phantom arm behind her opened and hugged him, and with Megan's own hand, he couldn't break free at all:
"Meghan, what are you doing..."
"Just a little experiment."
The girl in his arms said softly, her voice was very low:
"Don't do anything. I'm going to do an experiment. After this, I'll forgive you for hiding it. Yes, it's just an experiment."
Her right hand reached down, and Shade's eyes widened. But no matter how strong he was, he couldn't resist a witch who was equivalent to two people in this kind of power confrontation. "Knowledge is power" is not just a saying, Megan and Audrey's original physical strength far exceeded the average level of the eleventh-level witch.
He originally thought that Megan was going to do what Miss Aurora had done before and verify his doubts for the last time, but he soon realized that he was wrong.
Shad struggled even more violently, but Megan and Audrey's three hands held him tightly. He and Megan were hugging each other tightly, so they couldn't see each other's expressions, but suddenly Audrey's upper body emerged from behind Megan, almost face to face with Shad, and her hands were still hugging.
Audrey's translucent face was filled with shyness, but her eyes shining in this shyness were really beautiful:
"So this is the... smell... It seems that you are really a man. Now I completely believe it. Very healthy, Shad Suellen Hamilton, your reaction is really interesting."
"Wait, Audrey, don't do this..."
Soul kissed Shad.
This also means that the original "soul separation" and the "physical manifestation of the birthmark" on the palm of the hand can occur at the same time.
Although she was still very shy and had not yet made the decision to entrust everything to him, she still had the courage to be intimate with him. After all, the way she looked at that moment was what he had given her.
