Chapter 3150 "Curse" and "Blessing"
Miss Ghost complained to Sylvia unhappily:
"I'm going to be sent away by you guys anyway, can't you just let me take a last look at this world that belongs to the living?"
"Sorry, no. Margaret has already taken a big risk for you."
The witch said, and from her expression you could tell it was a threat.
So Miss Bettany had to leave from the window and poked her sister:
"Today is my funeral. I'm not sad, so you don't have to be sad either. It looks like I'm really leaving this time. Please help me take care of little Albert. I'll be thinking of you in that world over there, Sister Margaret."
Hearing this name, Margaret felt even worse. Although she had only been with Miss Bettany for a short time, she really regarded her as her own sister:
"I will take good care of him. I'm sorry, whether for you or for others, I really can't keep you here this time."
She cast another spell to give herself the ability to touch spirits, then opened her arms and embraced her sister's soul.
Ashley Bettany also hugged her, and after a little sadness, she asked Shad, who was said to open the "door" for her:
"So what is the world after death like?"
"Peace and tranquility."
Xia De said two adjectives, looked at Sylvia, and the witch pulled the princess away. Then Xia De took a deep breath and chopped forward with his right hand:
"Death's Door!"
Because it is a one-way channel, after the black crack opens in the room, the power on the other side of the crack does not affect the normal world in any way. To the three living people, it is just a black crack, but the ghost Miss Bettany has already understood where she is going:
"Well, it looks like we really have to go."
She repeated dryly, waved to Margaret, and took another lingering look at this world of the living. Finally, she "threatened" Shad:
"You philandering fellow, you must treat Sister Margaret well, or I will curse you!"
Xia De smiled and assured her:
"Yes, I swear to the dark moon you will see soon that I will treat Margaret well."
Miss Bettany was relieved then. She approached the crack carefully, and after tentatively putting her hand in, she screamed "Ah~" and was sucked in.
Xia De looked inside through the crack, and the dazed girl had appeared on the dead mudflat. She looked at the dark moon at the end of the black water in the distance with awe, but this time she did not turn her head, but stepped into the water, becoming one of the countless souls heading towards the dark moon.
The crack shrank and disappeared, and Sylvia supported Margaret who was sobbing. This was the first time that Her Royal Highness had said goodbye to the people close to her. All her close people were still alive. Even though she had seen people die before, this was the first time she truly knew the heaviness of death:
"Fate treated her so unfairly."
Sylvia looked up and motioned for Shade to come and comfort her, and Shade walked over and hugged the two girls together. The witch didn't expect Shade to do this, but Margaret really stopped sobbing. She looked up at Shade and asked:
“If I die one day, will anyone be as sad as I am?”
Sylvia really wanted to say "silly girl" in her heart, but now the fragile princess needed sweet words to comfort her.
"Everyone will be sadder than you are now. Although I won't cry loudly in front of everyone, I will cry in a corner where no one can see me, holding your relics."
"Although you always say that you only have one life, don't you want to revive me?"
Xia De looked at her seriously:
"Ms. Helena Carter's death happened before I showed up, so I couldn't save her. But as for you, I won't let you die. So your assumption is not valid at all, Margaret, we will always be by your side."
Margaret let go of her math teacher and hugged Shade tightly. The witch raised her eyebrows at Shade, who took it as a compliment.
After Miss Bettany's business was over, the carriage took Margaret and Sylvia back to the city. Shad was left under a big tree at the crossroads in the southern suburbs of the city, but he only waited for less than five minutes before Miss Bell appeared in a carriage.
"Shade, come up quickly, it's really cold today."
Flora, wrapped in a white rabbit fur scarf, blushed as she stuck her head out of the car window. Seeing Xia De holding a bouquet of white flowers, she asked:
"This flower is so beautiful. Is it for me?"
".This is for your mother. But I have some roses here. I'll give them to you after I visit your mother."
Miss Bell, who was driving, tried to suppress her smile, but for some reason she thought of the unique painting her master had just finished, and her eyes unconsciously turned to Shade, wanting to compare the scenery under the clothes with the scenery in the painting.
As a prominent family in Willendal, the Winslet family naturally had a family cemetery that had been passed down from generation to generation. The cemetery was located in the forest next to the Winslet family's large estate on the east side of the city. According to Flora, it was in that forest that she learned the first Transfiguration.
"The first Transfiguration I learned was to turn into a cat, what about you, Flora?"
"The elk. It was by the pond over there. It was a winter night and it was snowing. I was curled up in the snow and felt like I was freezing to death. Suddenly I felt warmer and when I stood up I realized I had transformed successfully."
Although she claimed that she hated this city and her family, it actually held many of her memories. When she got off the carriage and started walking along the forest trail, Flora even excitedly told Shade about the interesting things that happened in this forest during her childhood and girlhood.
It sounds like Flora was not a very traditional noble lady. She claimed that before she was twelve years old, she often climbed trees to take out the squirrels' stored food, and she also went hunting in the forest with guns and frightened maids.
Just looking at her current appearance of a quiet girl, it is hard to imagine that she used to be so lively. The turning point seems to be the death of Flora's mother. After all, she still lived the way her mother hoped.
The path in the snowy forest was not easy to walk on, but compared to the real woodland, this place was nothing. After seeing a corner of the cemetery from afar, Flora, who had been talking just now, immediately shut up.
She pulled Shad aside and helped him check his coat and tie, then turned to Miss Bell, who was holding the flowers, to check whether her clothes were appropriate.
Flora would come here to visit her mother every year on the end of the year. This year, since she had promised Shad to visit Tobesk, she naturally could not come during the holiday season like in previous years. Therefore, her arrival a month earlier could be regarded as making up for this year's absence.
After pushing open the gate of the cemetery, her expression gradually became solemn. Walking among the tombstones of her ancestors, Flora's footsteps became less light.
Mrs. Sophie Winslet was buried under a bare tree in the southwest of the cemetery. In addition to her name and life story, the white marble tombstone also had the letters "the love of my life" written on it.
"This is my father's handwriting. He asked the stonemason to carve it."
Flora said this to Shad, but Shad believed that if it were not in front of her mother's grave, she would definitely use very subtle sarcasm to mock her father's actions.
Xia De did not comment on this. He took the bouquet from Miss Bell, who was wearing a black dress, and then bent down to place it on the stone platform in front of the tombstone. Flora squatted in front of the tombstone, her black dress blooming on the snow. She gently stroked the tombstone with her hand and whispered about the new changes she had undergone in the past year.
Shade stood behind Flora and listened to her story quietly. He did not feel annoyed when snowflakes fell on his shoulders. The first half of 1854 was ordinary for the Great Witch of Death, but after entering autumn, it was the story of the tree and time.
"That's the Shade I was talking about."
After she finished telling what happened this year, she turned around and held Xia De's hand, and Xia De pulled her up with force.
"Shad, please introduce yourself. Try to be as detailed as possible and tell my mother that I didn't let her down."
After she made her request, she stood behind Shade, so Shade coughed and said to the tombstone:
“Hello, I’m Hamilton of Rejade, a canonized knight of the Kingdom of Delarion, a recipient of the Order of Honor of Delarion, and an honorary doctor of history. I have a house in the capital of Delarion, and both the house and the land are mine.
I now make my living as a detective, and have my own detective agency, though Flora says that's just a hobby. I have a share in a gold mine, am a trustee of an obscure college, have been taking correspondence courses for the last two years, and am in business with someone selling some very expensive, high-end fabrics.
I have no elders in my family, or rather, I am the only one with a pet cat. I am healthy and have no genetic diseases. I won a national equestrian championship this spring and am quite accomplished in swordsmanship, riding and archery. I don’t smoke and rarely drink. I don’t have any bad habits except collecting playing cards. I go to bed early and get up early, which keeps me healthy.”
He followed Flora's request and described his situation in as much detail as possible. Of course, it was just the situation of an ordinary person. Flora took Shade's hand halfway through, and after he had finished telling everything he could, the girl with black and gray hair asked her mother:
"This is the person I choose to spend the rest of my life with. Mother, will you bless me?"
The wind blew gently, and a few snowflakes fell from the treetops above her head. Flora looked at the tombstone of her mother who had passed away many years ago. After a moment of silence, she closed her eyes and smiled:
"Yes, mother, I will be happy."
