Dr. Schneider got a good story from Shad and said goodbye to Shad with satisfaction after entering the city. Although it was the weekend, he also had patients to see.
As for Shad, he returned to St. Teresa's Square alone in a carriage. After saying goodbye to Detective Sparrow, he was still thinking about the two girls at home.
Until now, he was still not sure how what happened last night happened. But those blushing scenes, those special touches, and the intertwined red and blonde hair were definitely not his imagination.
He has no such imagination.
last night... ...
"Oh, don't describe the details to me!"
Xia De in the carriage immediately said in his heart, "She" chuckled:
Last night, you had a deep contact with them, and thus obtained further information about them. The souls of Dorothy Louisa and Resia Cavendish have shown signs of fusion. It is not the annihilation of one side, but a true fusion together. At the current speed, in about twenty years, they will become a true "two-in-one".
"Why... ... "
I can only sense it, I can't give a reason.
Xia De was silent for a moment:
"Does the current situation have any impact on them?"
Soul exchange will become smoother, and they will be able to borrow more and more of each other's power. Judging from the current stage, there are only positive effects, and negative effects have not yet appeared.
“So, the price is in the future, right?”
This autumn rain will probably continue for the whole day. When Shad jumped off the carriage at the door, he felt that the rain was much heavier than when he went out. He thought that Dorothy and Lesia's 24-hour contact could last until this evening, so when he took the key to open the door, he was still thinking about where to invite them to spend time today.
But after opening the door, Xia De froze in place before he even put the dripping umbrella back into the umbrella shaft.
Because he saw a red umbrella with water still flowing from the umbrella surface placed in the umbrella tube, and then he looked at the shoe cabinet, and in the biscuit box where the keys were placed was the key of the purple-eyed girl - Luvia's key was decorated with a shiny glass ball tied to it.
Cold sweat suddenly flowed down Xia De's forehead.
You have a complete plan even when facing the evil god, so you should have a complete plan for this situation as well, right
The voice at this time was definitely mocking.
"plan... ... "
Xia De looked up at the stairs leading to the second floor. He had walked up this staircase countless times, but now it seemed as if the mouth of an indescribable evil creature was about to swallow him.
But no matter what, Shade walked into the room and put the dripping umbrella into the umbrella tube with a metal water storage box at the bottom. He changed into clean shoes at the door and then heard Mia's cheerful jumping on the stairs.
Because the cat was locked out of the bedroom all night again, it was still unhappy until the morning when Shade made breakfast for the family. But after being separated from Shade for more than an hour, it regained its good mood.
"Meow~"
After being picked up by Xia De, the cat curled up its limbs and squirmed in Xia De's arms. Xia De looked at the stairs again. The stairs were still covered with carpets, but the petals had disappeared. Except for Xiaomia, no one appeared from the stairs to greet him, but there must be someone at home.
He carried the cat up the stairs, and when he turned the corner and continued to walk up, he somehow couldn't control his feet, so it took him a full minute to walk up the stairs that usually took him just over ten seconds.
But no matter how slow it was, it finally arrived in front of the open door. I walked into Room 1 on the second floor as usual, and then I found that the flowers in the living room were gone, and the sofa and other furniture were restored to their original positions.
There was no trace of the blonde writer and the red-haired princess in the room. Only Luvia with short brown hair was sitting on the sofa, reading the "Notes of Filianna" handwritten and translated by Shade.
Hearing the voice, he turned to look at the door:
"Are you back? Is it still raining hard outside?"
Purple eyes looked at him, and this normal tone made Shad uneasy. He went to see his bedroom and found that the bedroom door was open.
"If you want to know what just happened, yes, I met them."
Luvia put down the book in her hand:
"Knight, you are really resourceful, two at a time..."
She stood up and walked towards the bedroom, and Shad immediately followed with the cat in his arms. But fortunately, there were no scenes of "two corpses lying on the bed" or "two ladies with daggers ambushing at the door" in the room.
The bedroom curtains were open, and outside the window was the late autumn rain. The room had been tidied, but the bed was still a little messy, and no one was here.
"Don't look like you're worried I'll stab you in the back."
Luvia patted Shade's shoulder. The purple-eyed girl looked at Shade, as if she had encountered a puzzling question:
"When I arrived on the second floor, they were talking on the bed. After seeing me, they left and left a letter for you. You can't imagine the blushing and ashamed expression on Dorothy's face when they saw me... It was the first time I saw her with that expression in all the years I had known her."
Shad still didn't know what to say, he knew he was the one who made the mistake. He looked down at the letter, which was actually just a folded page with Dorothy's handwriting on it. The girls wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to interact with each other and go to the city together, and the detective, who had played enough, obviously couldn't disturb their time alone, so he was left at home with the cat.
"I say, there's no need to show that expression. Didn't we already agree on this that night at Carina Manor?"
The purple-eyed girl came to Xia De, and in the cold sound of rain, in the dim room without lights on, she stroked his face with her fingers:
"You damned, dissolute knight."
Words came out of her mouth one after another. She was not as calm as she looked:
"But you don't have to apologize to me. If it was Dorothy, I think I could accept it. But, she can be considered as stealing from me."
Xia De still wanted to apologize, but Luvia frowned and asked suspiciously:
"Dorothy is not a shameless girl. What tricks did you use to make her agree..."
Her face was slightly red. Although she wanted to ask a question, she didn't tell him what Xia De had done last night.
"Who was that girl with long red hair and high-heeled shoes? She didn't dare look at me, so she hid behind Dorothy and left with her. But before you came back, a few maids came to the house and tidied up the petals and flowers a little. They said they would come to clean up thoroughly in the afternoon. Was she a noble lady?"
Except for Shad, the rest of the group has no idea of Dorothy's secret.
"Yes, noble, the other party is..."
He saw the newspaper on the desk in the dim room and remembered that there was a photo in the newspaper, so he picked it up and flipped through it:
“This one.”
Luvia looked at it in the dim light from the rain, then frowned in surprise:
"Queen Diana?! You..."
"What? Oh, no, not that. Why would you think that? The queen doesn't have red hair."
On the second page of the newspaper in my hand, there was news about Queen Diana visiting the Tobesk Public Sanatorium on behalf of the royal family. The photo was a group photo of the queen and her entourage, and the scene looked very lively:
"This is it."
Shad pointed to the girl behind Queen Diana in the photo. Luvia looked at her again and felt that she looked familiar. She then looked at the description below the photo and realized that she was a member of the royal family who occasionally appeared in newspapers:
"Lesia Cavendish."
Only after reading the name did I realize what it meant, and looked at Xia De in astonishment:
"Last night, you..."
Point to Shad.
“With our writer friends...”
Pointing south toward Quill Avenue.
"And the Princess of Delarian..."
Pointing out the window at the Yodel Palace.
"Together... ... "
Point to the bed in the bedroom.
Shade nodded, and Luvia looked him up and down:
"How on earth did you do it? If I remember correctly, this princess is a politically active princess and is eligible to compete for the throne... Is it related to Carina?"
"How is that possible? Leicia is even somewhat hostile to Miss Carina."
"So how on earth did you do it?"
Luvia didn't even continue to express her dissatisfaction with Shade, and looked towards the bedroom suspiciously:
"When they left just now, they took your bed sheets with them. I know what this means. Such a thing actually happened in this small bedroom, Knight, you are really resourceful. I will not comment on your character, but I also admit that being associated with a powerful princess is indeed helpful to our cause, which is different from Carina..."
Purple eyes stared at Shade, as if they knew him all over again:
"I never thought that the man I liked would become the princess's lover. Princess... So that was really a crown this morning. I thought it was just to create an atmosphere..."
“You don’t have to use that term.”
Luvia looked at Shade, and suddenly stood on tiptoe, and put her arms around Shade's neck in this dim room:
"If it was just Dorothy, I wouldn't have any hesitation, but now there's another princess, and I feel the pressure. Shad Suellen Hamilton, you..."
"I won't let go of anyone's hand, especially you."
Laughter rang out in front of her and beside her ears at the same time, and Luvia smiled:
"Should I scold you for your greed now, or should I say that I am relieved?"
Seeing that Xia De wanted to explain, Luvia covered his mouth:
"I understand that you promised to go with me... I'm still curious as to how you got a reserved girl like Dorothy, one of the most noble ladies in Delairium, to go with you..."
"It's a long story, but I can't reveal their secrets without their permission."
Shade said, Luvia shook her head and looked at Shade closely:
"Then I will assume that Dorothy actually likes not only you but also the princess, which leads to a complicated relationship between the three of you."
Then he bit his lower lip again and suddenly asked:
"Knight, what have you done? How have you served the Princess and Dorothy?"
There was no light on in the room, and the dim light from the sky shone into the bedroom through the window. The effect of light and shadow made Luvia's face look more three-dimensional and her purple eyes brighter.
Xia De also heard this statement last night. He suspected that this was a common metaphor in this civilization, but outsiders didn't know it:
"I... ... "
As he said this, he threw the cat he was holding onto the bed, and then wanted to formally apologize to Luvia. Luvia smiled and leaned over, as if she wanted to listen carefully to his description.
But this time, when Mia fell on the bed, there was no sound of gentle movement.
Squeak~Boom~Bang~
The young detective was surprised and held Luvia in his arms and stepped back. The brass crossbar under the bed rolled to his feet with a clang. Little Mia came out from the quilt of the "ruins" of the four-poster bed with her hair standing on end, and yelled at Shade in grievance.
Everything has its demise, so this bed met its demise on the day when Shad was preparing to change his bedroom, and officially became history.
"How intense was it between the three of you last night, um?"
The purple-eyed girl said softly, hesitantly shrinking in Xia De's arms with a somewhat fearful expression, but her face was slightly red:
"That's a metal bed."
