Holding the witch's waist, Shade, who was sitting by the bonfire under the moon, didn't know what to say for a moment:
"Ms. Aurora, thank you for your... appreciation."
"Just a thank you?"
She chuckled, backing away to the beat, and Shade was careful not to step on those beautiful black patent leather heels, moving forward closely, then backing away after three beats.
"I don't know what Carina promised you, but if you..."
"Please don't continue, Miss Aurora."
Xia De stopped her in time:
"Ms. Carina and I do not have a simple relationship of interest."
"I knew that the proud woman would be moved one day."
The eyes behind the mask looked at Shade. The witch, wearing high heels, was even a little taller than Shade. The weather tonight was really good. The starry sky above the Mechanics College of Midhill Castle near Mount Xikar was extremely bright. The bonfire and the starlight provided embellishment for the people attending the festival banquet, and March was watching here together, watching the witch and the stranger beside the bonfire.
"I have everything she has, power, wealth, and even a whole estate of beautiful girls, if you want..."
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, and the witch with long brown wavy hair smiled and controlled Shade to hug her and spin around:
"But I know you won't leave Karina, right?"
"Miss Carina and I have many stories."
"Does this include the maid Tifa Servet, who has a nice figure?"
She asked with a smile, and seeing the slightly embarrassed expression on Xia De's face, she already knew the answer:
"That's why I said that Karina always gets what she wants. That maid is really good... Forget it. If you can agree, I will be a little disappointed in you. So, this is really a contradictory feeling."
She smiled and walked briskly. The violin solo had already begun:
"Come to Carsenrick when you have time. I can introduce you to my apprentice, my niece. I have discussed this matter with Grandma Cassandra. The presence of a man among us cannot be hidden from those young apprentices. Rather than letting the young girls speculate, it is better to tell them directly."
"Okay, if I have time to go to Carsonrick, I will visit you."
Shade nodded slightly, and the witch returned to her usual relaxed attitude. She was enjoying the bonfire dance:
"However, have you discovered anything new about the relationship between you and the witch?"
“Not yet.”
"Have you ever tried to learn other witches' spells?"
"Ms. Carina mentioned it, but I haven't gotten around to studying yet."
“Whether you can learn it or not, it’s always good to have more knowledge.”
She whispered:
"You can also ask me for advice while I stay in Midhill Castle. Of course, Granny Cassandra is also a good choice. Although she only has ten rings, she is definitely the most knowledgeable among us except for the Speaker. She has a good teacher."
"Ms. Aurora, have you also met Cassandra's mother-in-law's teacher? Miss Helen Black."
"Yes, she claims that she is not a witch, but she always looks very young. Not only in appearance, but also in mentality. Sometimes I even wonder if she is drinking the mermaid's elixir of immortality as water. In addition, in addition to Helen Blake, she sometimes calls herself Grace White."
The witch with long brown hair showed a meaningful smile:
"According to the records left by the previous generation of speakers and the statements of this generation of speakers, this name change occurs approximately once every 22 years."
As the teacher of the oldest witch in the Witch Council, it was impossible for the Council not to be interested in this "teacher", so the Council had obviously noticed her abnormality a long time ago.
"Grace White and Helen Black? They really did abandon their family names."
Shade said softly.
"they?"
Miss Aurora raised her eyebrows:
"Have you ever seen them?"
"Yes, at a drinking party. I didn't realize at the time that we would have such a wonderful connection later on."
"Look, knight, you're always popular with the girls."
The music was about to end, and the witch's eyes became a little melancholy again:
"I want to ask you a question - Knight, have I ever kissed you?"
Shade immediately began to search his memories for answers, so the witch reached out to reveal Shade's neck and then kissed it.
The burning bonfire was right next to them, and the blazing flames were the only evidence that time had not been frozen at this moment.
Xiwei Aurora took the initiative to kiss Xia De, and she also took the initiative to let Xia De go. The firelight reflected the side faces of both of them red, so no one knew what the blush on the other's face was caused by:
"Your skills are really poor."
She said what countless girls had said to Xia De, and smiled as she threw a card to Xia De:
"Sweet dreams, detective. This is your Fire Festival gift. I have to go back soon. I have to explore the ruins left by the witch tomorrow."
"Sweet dreams, Miss Aurora... Thank you for the kiss."
The two separated, and the witch, accompanied by two maids waiting on the side, prepared to leave. She faced Shade, walked backwards with her hands behind her back:
"Remember, don't say 'thank you for the kiss' to a girl you kissed."
Even the two maids laughed. Xia De touched his ears and laughed too:
"Good night."
"Good night."
The witch left, and the people began to dance again to the music, blocking Shade's view. The stranger standing alone by the campfire looked at the card in his hand under the firelight—
Queen of Flowers, the history of the development of the New World and the spirit of development.
"Wasn't this bought by the merchant in Carsenrick... She went to touch up her makeup just now, could it be that she wanted to buy this card again?"
Xia De looked up again to see Xivi Aurora's receding figure. "Her" voice rang in his ears, and the whispering voice was unusually gentle:
If you chase her now and say yes, there is a 50% chance that you will have a good night.
"ha."
Shade smiled:
"Only a 50% chance?"
In the other half, you will be hit to death with a sunlight gun by Iluna Beias who can't find you.
This time, Shad really laughed. He thought about the time. It was 8:56, which was very close to the time he had agreed to meet Iluna. So he inserted the Rhodes card into his deck and turned to walk towards the agreed place.
He managed his time very well and felt really sinful because of it.
"I'm going to the Guilty Mansion tomorrow. Isn't this a bad idea?"
Looking up, the seventeen-year-old girl, who had changed into a dancing dress, was already waiting for Shad in the brightest part of the campfire in front.
