Chapter 4183 Afternoon Nap
Dorothy, with her blonde hair, blushed instantly, clearly understanding Luvia's meaning. Lacey, finding Luvia's suggestion invaluable, nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, the witches who had either had intimate relationships with Shad or were waiting for a better opportunity laughed together.
Even the girl Daniste, who had been feeling somewhat depressed just moments before, smiled:
"Luvia's suggestion is excellent, Shad. What will you do?"
The outsider blushed slightly, but it wasn't just embarrassment from having his secret exposed.
"Of course I wouldn't do that. Why would you think that? If I don't put it by the bedside, can I put it on the bookshelf in the study?"
"That's no problem."
Luvia nodded, but Lacia then reminded her:
"But sometimes, it's necessary to cover the doll with a handkerchief, since that happens in the study too."
"Lascia!"
Dorothy, embarrassed and indignant, stopped Lacey from continuing, and the girls and ladies laughed even harder.
Tifa agreed with Lacey's opinion, while Ellie, not quite understanding what everyone was laughing about, continued eating her apple and enjoying the sunlight under the trees. As for Iluna, she didn't want others to see her kissing Shad, so she also thought Lacey was right.
Shad didn't put Miss Feliciano's doll away; instead, he placed it on the picnic blanket. When the sunlight shone on the exquisite doll, Shad had a distinct feeling that it might move at any moment.
Of course, this is just an illusion.
As noon approached, and with an important matter concluded, a pleasant picnic began. Although a picnic here wasn't initially part of the plan, the park wasn't far from Fragrance Residence, so transporting supplies wasn't a problem.
Even shortly after Miss Feliana “left,” Bella, Flora, Sirius, and Agelina, who had stayed at the Fragrant Mansion, also came.
The little princess sat down with Iluna and Ellie. When she heard that the [Leatherworks Museum] had been perfectly contained, Adelina, who was very afraid of such relics, breathed a long sigh of relief.
Bella was very satisfied that her and Luvia's divination had been very effective. Flora's eyes lit up when she heard Vigo say that Shad now also had a unicorn form, but she did not immediately communicate with Shad about the transformation experience.
The girls could all tell that Xia De was exhausted. After accompanying Wei Ge to the Charming Ladies Club last night, he broke into the Leather Goods Club this morning and saw so many disgusting things. He even went to the Fifth Era and saw an evil god. Just now, he even used the Enchanted Lock.
So they didn't talk to Shad about what had happened before. Everyone happily had their picnic, and Shad, along with Adelina and Ellie, raised their glasses of apple juice and clinked glasses with the girls who were drinking wine and black tea.
Shad didn't remember much about what happened afterward.
All he remembered was tasting the apple pie that Ellie had put in his hand, and then Adelina listening with surprise as Ellie said with a serious expression that Shad was a little unicorn, so she had to protect him.
Then Mia darted out and snatched half an apple pie from Shad's hand, while the maids, who adored the beautiful cat, brought out a whole bunch of snacks to feed it.
The cat was running around in the shade of the trees, and it was unusually lively today, probably because it was springtime.
The witches were either drinking tea, chatting, or simply admiring the scenery. Iluna tried her best to appear mature as she chatted with Galina about balance. The young girl Daniste and Luvia were talking about dragon eggs, while Dorothy and Lacey sat hand in hand next to Shad.
The spring breeze was so warm, and after lunch, the sound of the wind rustling through the treetops was almost too soothing. Shad, who had been watching Mia hopping around, unknowingly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, dreaming nothing but a carefree, peaceful slumber in the spring sunshine.
As Shad's consciousness gradually returned, he felt himself resting on a very soft object and could smell a very familiar perfume:
"Lascia?"
He opened his eyes and found himself resting his head on Lacia's lap. The sun was still shining brightly, but it looked like it was already afternoon.
Spring sunlight still shone through the gaps in the tree shadows overhead, and the slightly sleepy Xia De could sense that a cat was probably taking a nap next to him.
"Won't you sleep a little longer?"
"Lascia asked gently, stroking Shad's hair with her hand," she said softly. When Shad sat up, he realized that only Lascia, Ellie, Adelina, Claire, and Flora remained on the picnic blanket.
Winnie and Miss Elizabeth were chatting under the tree, while the witches, Luvia, and Dorothy were nowhere to be seen.
Xia De suddenly realized something very important:
"Oh no! It's Saturday! I have a meeting this afternoon."
He tried to stand up, but Lacia pressed him back down.
"It's alright, Dorothy and Luvia have already gone back to Topsk for a meeting. They'll help you get sick, and the doctor will understand. It's only 2:30 in the afternoon, do you want to sleep a little longer?"
She patted her legs, which were covered by her red dress:
“I can continue to let you use this as a pillow. Or, other people would be happy to do the same for you.”
Lacey glanced around, then asked with a smile:
How is Ellie?
The unicorn girl was just playing cat's cradle with Adelina when she heard Lacey's suggestion. While maintaining the star pattern and letting Adelina do the flipping, she nodded rapidly.
"I can!"
Lacey thought that, given Shad's personality, he would ask to end his short break to deal with other matters. But after shaking his head and refusing Ellie, Shad patted the sleeping Mia, who was curled up next to him.
He and Lacey stayed in the shade of the trees, while the sun-loving cat was mostly exposed to the sunlight.
"Okay, then I'll sleep a little longer."
He kissed Lacey's cheek, then rested his head on her lap and quickly fell asleep again.
Although Lacey was somewhat surprised, she was mostly delighted:
"Go to sleep, go to sleep."
She spoke softly, and Claire and Flora, who had been looking over, turned their gazes away and continued discussing their plans to support Viggo in the future. Shad looked genuinely tired; with such a beautiful day, the girls knew he deserved a rest.
But Shad's afternoon nap didn't last until evening. Almost at the same time the cat woke up at 3:30, Shad also opened his eyes again.
The cat stood up lazily but elegantly, stretched its rear end, and then meowed excitedly at Shad before heading towards the basket next to Ellie and Adelina, looking for some food.
After being helped to sit up by Lacey, Xia De first let out a long breath, and then sat cross-legged with great energy, looking at the artificial lake that was sparkling in the sunlight not far away.
Lacey thought Shad would say something sentimental, but unexpectedly he suddenly said:
"Lacia, you smell so good."
Even the usually bold princess blushed with embarrassment.
"What are you talking about?"
She complained softly, but Dorothy, far away in Tobesk, knew that Lacey was practically beaming with joy inside.
"It's getting late, let's get ready to go back."
Having regained his senses, Shad spoke again, then asked Flora and Claire:
"Is everyone having dinner at Wei Ge's place tonight?"
"Yes, and Sylvia and Audrey, who couldn't come today, will also be here. Viggo and the others have gone to handle the follow-up matters, so you can actually rest a bit more."
Claire advised, "The platinum-blonde witch from the foot of the snow-capped mountains knows how tired Shad is."
"Before leaving, Vige said that we could return to Fragrance Residence in the evening."
Shade shook his head:
“Even Mia has woken up from her nap, so I can’t slack off any longer. Let’s go, Ellie, Adelina, let’s all go back together.”
"go back!"
Ellie immediately took Shad's hand, while Adelina glanced at the little unicorn she had happily played cat's cradle with all afternoon, and a sudden, intense sense of crisis washed over her:
"Fine, even you..."
The little princess felt she had misjudged the person.
Iluna still has a mission in the Tobesk parish, but she will return tonight with Galina for the banquet. The suitcase Iluna found in the [Leatherwork Guild] and the scissors that "Desire" gave to Shad have now been taken back to Fragrance Mansion by Vigo, awaiting Shad's return for inspection.
Viggo left before Shad woke up from his nap, partly to provide herself with an alibi for not being in the park that morning, and partly, of course, for the sake of her sister, Aurora Lemaître.
The solution that Peggy Flamel had placed in the Leatherworks was divided into two parts by the leatherworkers. Viggo was worried that this would prevent her sister from returning successfully, so she reluctantly gave up the opportunity to spend the afternoon with Shad.
When Xia De and his group returned to Fragrance Mansion in the afternoon, Vige was still in the alchemy laboratory in the underground palace checking the condition of the two solutions.
Although she did not possess the technology to transform the body and soul into liquid, with the help of "life detectors" and Bella, she was able to test whether the solution still possessed activity and whether it was contaminated.
"came back?"
Sylvie greeted the group returning from the park at the Fragrant Residence:
"Vige will probably be busy in the dungeon for a while longer. You can go see her later. But before that, I need to tell you about the [Leatherworks Guild]. Daniste has sent word that the relic is stable now."
The crystal ball that Miss Felian Anna created in the Fifth Age was the key to completely containing the Leatherworks Guild. Otherwise, even if Shad used the Enchanted Lock and Principal Pigman used the Word of Ascension, they could only seal the Leatherworks Guild in that artificial lake at most.
