Chapter 3432 Ajelina's Story
On the way to the box, Xia De did not see any fake people. So tonight's date went on as usual. The opera tonight was "To the Invisible Man", a modern classic opera that tells a touching story about a dead man who turned into a ghost and still guarded his fiancée. In the end, the man and the ghost said goodbye.
This story was performed many times by the girls from the south when the Golden Dawn Opera Company visited Tobesk last year, so even outsiders have heard the outline of the story.
Of course, he didn't have time to watch the opera tonight, because after the lights in the box went out, before Ajelina even had time to leave, Resia and Dorothy showed their enthusiasm. After all, the last Red Butterfly Day was at the end of the year, and everyone was there; and the last time it happened was during the "time jump" at the end of the battle of Vestal Forest, so the Red Butterfly Day passed without them even realizing it.
Therefore, this gathering was a long-awaited "holiday" for the girls. However, Ajelina, who was standing against the wall in the dark, mistakenly thought for a moment that she had accidentally activated her own magic [Transparent World].
There was only a small incident tonight. During the short intermission after the second act, a team of police broke into the opera house and took away everyone in a box on the third floor. Of course, it was the church ring warlock, but not the Sun Church but the Dawn Church.
At that time, Shad was the first to notice that there was a ring wizard casting a spell in the corridor. When he stopped playing with the girls, they were quite dissatisfied, but it didn't delay too much time.
Ajelina, who was driven to another box, found out the identities of the people who were taken away before the end of the opera. When she told Shade the news on the return carriage, Shade guessed that some of them were fake people:
"He was taken away after a fight? So there should be a second-stage pseudo-human with limb abnormalities. Tobesk is not peaceful."
After returning home, Ajelina followed her sister's instructions and lived in Room 2 on the third floor. She knew that she was brought here just to give her sister a reasonable reason not to spend the night in Yodel Palace, so she said goodnight to everyone early, washed up obediently, and returned to her room to cover herself with her own quilt.
The magic she gained when she awakened to become a ring sorcerer, [Transparent World], had allowed her to wander around Shade's house many times at night, and witnessed the colorful nightlife in this house, but she did not do so tonight. After she put her head on the pillow, she fell asleep quickly, and then at one o'clock in the morning, Ajelina's eyes opened on time.
At this time, No. 6 Saint Teresa's Square had already fallen into darkness and silence. Even the maids who served the princess had returned to the first floor to rest. Only the flames of the fireplace were still faintly crackling. Although Ajelina was awake, she just stared at the ceiling with her eyes open without moving, and she didn't even turn on the lights. She had taken a nap during the day, and with the three hours of sleep just now, she was completely refreshed at this time:
"According to the previous time, it should be soon."
About twenty minutes later, her little ears moved like little Mia, and she heard footsteps. Soon after, the door opened and Xia De tiptoed in.
"Shad, you're really here."
A bright smile immediately appeared on Ajelina's face. Although she had made an appointment with Shade to "tell a story", today was the "Red Butterfly Day" after all, and she was worried that Shade would not come.
"That's what we promised."
Xia De lowered his voice and said, while Ajielina gave up half of the bed to the side and blushed as she opened the door to signal Xia De to come over directly. When Xia De really hugged her, the little princess felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Xia De was very civilized and used alchemical tools to dispel the smell on his body while going upstairs. At this moment, Ajielina could still smell the seductive breath naturally emitted by some creature. Although the two of them had done more excessive things before, this time she was truly "stealing" her sister's most precious time. The sense of righteousness and danger even made Ajielina feel dizzy, and then she didn't know why she asked this question:
"Shad, what did the sisters do with you just now?"
Seeing that she was curious, Xia De let Ajelina lean on his arms and described it very simply:
"Lecia said we should use goblets, but Dorothy disagreed, saying that crystal shoes would be better and more aesthetic."
Ajelina was very soft, and then he realized the truth inside the nightgown. He thought Ajelina would not understand, but the little red-haired princess understood it immediately. She imagined the scene and the subsequent treatment of the crystal shoes, and felt that this winter was really hot.
But she did not continue to discuss this topic with Xia De:
"If my sister finds out that you sneaked out, how will she punish us?"
Xia De leaned against the head of the bed and answered based on his understanding of Leicia:
"I will probably be blamed for a bit, do you remember the last reading club?"
Ajelina's face turned even redder. She reached out and turned up the gas lamp on the bedside that Shade had just turned on. Then she actually took out a book from under her pillow.
"Then let's start telling stories."
"Really telling a story?"
Shad was quite surprised that even though Resia and Dorothy had been inviting him to read "Summer Nights", he still had no idea what was in the book. He didn't expect that Ajelina said she wanted to tell a story and actually brought the book and even opened it. From this point of view, Ajelina really liked reading more than Resia.
He wanted to take the book, but the little princess in her nightgown blushed and didn't let go:
"I'm here to tell you a story."
She showed Shad the cover of the book and it was the third volume of Hamilton's Detective Stories, but when she opened it, she saw that the first five pages and the last five pages were indeed from that book, but the middle part was completely handwritten by her and bound in.
The little red-haired princess bit her lip, then looked at Shade who was holding her:
"I'll read and you can act out the story, okay?"
She was even a little embarrassed to look into Xia De's eyes at this moment. Xia De was surprised for a moment, and nodded to show that he understood amid "her" laughter:
"Okay, but are you allowed to express yourself freely?"
"Of course, good actors will play to their own strengths."
Ajelina said embarrassedly, trying not to laugh. Then she turned around and leaned her back against Xia De, feeling the strength of her thumping heart, and asked:
"Then I started reading."
"No problem, but I have to be back in an hour."
"Okay, let's start from the middle. The story is about an innocent princess who accidentally wanders among the common people and is rescued by an upright knight. They are about to be assassinated by assassins sent by the princess's political enemies, and they accidentally fall off a cliff and into the river.
But fortunately, they were all safe. It was already dark when the princess dragged the seriously injured knight ashore. She lit a campfire and found that the knight was shivering with cold due to injury and illness. In order to keep the knight warm, she decided to…
Although Ajelina didn't get to see the crystal slipper that Leicia brought herself - Shade held the other one, she also played the role of the crystal slipper tonight. Although the story was not finished because of this, she and Shade agreed to find an opportunity to continue telling the story in the future.
After all, Ajelina has many good stories.
(Little Mia is running.)
At the breakfast table on Friday morning, Leisia found that her sister had been eating with her head down, not participating in the conversation at all. She looked at Ajelina suspiciously, then looked at Shade, and then raised her eyebrows to understand everything.
There is no need for reasons, evidence, or any logical chain. The sister's judgment on her sister's behavior is so accurate.
But she didn't say anything about it, and even found it a little funny.
After breakfast, Dorothy and Lesia stayed at home for a while before leaving together. There was still half a day left for the Red Butterfly Day, and they were going to go shopping in the city together. The girls' lives were never just about Shad, and they knew that Shad was not the kind of person who was willing to go shopping.
Of course, before Dorothy and Resia left with Ajelina, Shad did not forget to mention that he would be "taking a leave" this Saturday:
"I have a very important ceremony with Danister on Saturday night, so can I postpone this week's night class to Sunday?"
Of course they agreed, and the girls knew that Shade really had important things to do.
After seeing off his "princesses", Shade went to St. Byrons again. When he met Danister in the library, she was reading a brand new relic collection report. After Shade sat down on the single sofa, she smiled and asked:
"Why, you don't have to continue accompanying Louisa and the princess?"
Shade does not answer this question directly:
"I told them that I will start the ceremony with you on Saturday night."
The red-haired sorceress smiled and sighed:
"You always seem to understand what the girls want to hear, which is probably a rare talent. But you don't have to worry about the ceremony. Just bring the [Source of Chaos] and the three moonstone tablets to wait for me at your house tomorrow night. Although the 'Night Spirit Temple' in the Randall River Valley can be considered a moon sanctuary and meets the conditions for the ceremony, it is too far away. Let's go to your house.
I plan to look up the teacher's location directly in the library. Although according to what you said, we have the lowest authority, but even if we can't find the location, we should be able to get some hints. So Xia De, have you decided what to look up?"
She threw the questions to Shad. Shad wanted to know a lot of things, and he planned to ask in the order of "Secret of the Moon" → "Ceremony of the Chosen" → "Ink". If the first question could be answered, the following questions would have to be put on hold.
