Chapter 1057

"Zhalasi Society, you should know."

"Of course, the origin of the Zhalasi Literary Academy."

"The witch I want to find calls herself Keluoyi, living around the year 1000 of the Fifth Era. Not tall, silver hair, reddish-gold eyes... a demigod."

The old man who was about to pour tea for Xia De stopped his movements:

"I remember you said you are from the St. Byrons History Academy? That's right, only you time investigators can easily know terms like demigod witch."

He put down the teapot and sighed:

"If she is really a demigod, then there will probably be some information. After all, even in the Fifth Era, there were not many demigod witches with names. Speaking of which, you probably know that in the current Sixth Era, there is not a single demigod in the true sense. The Sixth Era has passed 1,853 years, and there is not a single demigod."

"Yes, this seems to mean the overall decline of supernatural power..."

Both were silent for a while, but both knew that what the other was thinking was the same as themselves.

Even though the relationship between Mr. Aidemunde and Xia De was very good, this business still collected a deposit of 70 pounds. If the information on that "Miss Keluoyi" was really found before Sunday, Xia De would probably have to spend more money to buy the information.

He could accept this kind of high-cost information transaction; after all, he knew how valuable the information he wanted to search for was. If it weren't for the fact that his relationship with the 【Light-Guiding Ascetic Society】 had reached a friendly level, he wouldn't be able to buy it even if he took out more gold pounds.

The scenery of Coldwater Port in winter is very different from that in summer, but Xia De did not stay here long. Returning home, it was already close to four o'clock in the afternoon.

He did not rest for long before Luweiya, who was wearing a formal gown and preparing to accompany Xia De to the Canary Manor banquet, arrived here.

After Xia De changed his clothes and prepared dinner for Little Mia, who was unwilling to go out, they officially set off.

"Your cat, the ring on its tail, has it been changed to a new one again?"

Luweiya only noticed the 【Plague Doctor Ring】 this time and asked Xia De in the carriage.

After seeing Xia De nod, the purple-eyed girl smiled and said:

"The pet cats I know all like toys like bells. There are not many that like rings, and the only one that likes to put rings on its own tail is this one."

"That ring can resist plague to a certain extent. After a while, if I really want to go deep into the Pantanal Great Swamp, that ring will be very useful."

Xia De also told Luweiya the news that Miss Miss Jia Lin Na was also going to Huntington City. When talking about this topic, the smile on her face faded a lot:

"It's starting again... You must pay attention to safety."

Purple eyes stared at Xia De, with an indescribable worry in her eyes.

Princess Margaret's farewell party, although not as large as the Lake View Manor wedding banquet held purely for pleasure, was more grand and solemn than most banquets Xia De had attended.

In the deep winter season, it was naturally impossible to set up the venue outdoors, so today's banquet venue was all indoors. In addition to the large banquet hall on the first floor, rooms in the corridor on the right rear were also opened for use as smoking rooms, recreation, and card playing.

This would be the last banquet Princess Margaret and her party would attend in Tobesk. They would set off early tomorrow morning to officially begin the journey back to their hometown.

The people attending the banquet were all in high spirits. In the last month of the year, the arrival of the foreign princess reached a brand-new agreement between the two countries on corn exports and rare alloy exchanges. There were even rumors that the letter from her father brought by Princess Margaret, that is, the New Continent joint development agreement mentioned in the letter from the current King of the Carsonrick United Kingdom, "Lion King Ryan", had been verbally praised by King Larus III.

More gossip spread that next summer, the two countries would launch a new round of consultations and negotiations on the development of coal and mineral resources in the New Continent.

And no matter what kind of news it was, it represented that Princess Margaret's visit had successfully achieved its goal.

The banquet was quite lively. In the magnificent hall, cups were exchanged, and gentlemen and ladies holding wine glasses chatted with each other. Those expensive tie clips and jewelry sparkled under the radiance of the gas lamps.

Luweiya, who accompanied Xia De, didn't chat with Xia De for a few sentences before being called away by Miss Xierweiya. That witch was very interested in the "excellent fortune teller" Xia De had mentioned. This afternoon, she had agreed to meet Luweiya, and Luweiya was also very interested in communicating with the witch. She also wanted to confirm whether Miss Xierweiya was the third Chosen One.

So Xia De, having nothing to do, thought about finding acquaintances here to chat with, but after Princess Margaret's public appearance and speech, the princess's maid quickly called Xia De away. In the study on the second floor, the princess with light golden long hair, also dressed in grand attire, received Xia De alone.

"Your Highness, the speech just now was very good."

Even though the room was soundproof, the music and noise in the banquet hall downstairs could still be heard. The maid consciously closed the door from the outside. Princess Margaret clasped her hands together in front of her, and her long hair was braided into a long braid hanging in front of her shoulders.

She just looked at Xia De like this, seemingly not intending to speak. Xia De felt that the atmosphere at this moment was a bit awkward, but he didn't know what the princess had called him up for.

【You, really don't know?】

"She" chuckled in Xia De's ear, and suggested before Xia De tried to refute:

【If you don't know what to do, go and hug her.】

"This doesn't seem like a good idea."

"Xia De, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Just at this moment, Margaret finally spoke, and she looked towards Xia De:

"I originally thought that at the dance later, I could dance the last dance with you, but recently my contact with you has been too frequent. The elders of the visiting group reminded me that I cannot have too much contact with you anymore."

She still looked at Xia De, and Xia De thought for a while:

"Then, shall we dance a dance here?"

He then suggested, pointing to his feet. The princess seemed to reveal a smile for a moment, but shook her head slightly:

"No need. Sometimes leaving some regrets will make memories more beautiful. Calling you up is just to say a final goodbye to you. Tomorrow, please don't go to Tobesk Railway Station to see me off... We can keep in touch by writing letters often in the future."

"Hmm..."

Xia De had a very strong premonition that he would definitely have a way to find the way to Willendale City in the future. Even if he couldn't find it, that Great Witch of Space would find a way to help him find it. Even if Miss Xierweiya couldn't find a way, in fact, taking a steam train from the "City of Red Wine" Huntington City to the royal capital Willendale City wouldn't take too long.

"Do you remember when we first met?"

Margaret asked, her right hand resting on the back of the sofa, while Xia De still stood in front of the door.

Xia De recalled that in Huntington City, he appeared as a friend of the vampire Mr. Bernhard, "Mr. Holmes" who ran a winery in the New Continent. But then he realized that their true meeting was actually at Tobesk Railway Station:

"Of course I remember, I gave you a flawless emerald and said—to Her Highness Margaret Anjou, I hope you come with peace and leave with beauty!"

He repeated, and the princess's left hand gently stroked the hanging hair in front of her shoulder. Xia De saw the hairband ornament on her hair, which was exactly that emerald from back then.

Two pairs of eyes gazed at each other, and for a time neither of them spoke. An inexplicable emotion was fermenting at this moment. Margaret bit her lip and looked at Xia De, and Xia De vaguely realized the direction of the story that followed.

"She" spoke again at this moment:

【If you are willing, you only need some small rhetoric, and you can probably serve a brand new princess tonight.】

"I know she is determined to become a witch apprentice, so it is impossible for anything to happen between us. Now, she is just infected by the atmosphere. If I really use some rhetoric, wouldn't that be too despicable?"

Xia De said silently in his heart, his eyes glimpsing the lights outside, and he suddenly had an idea. The principles he had insisted on for a long time could perhaps be broken slightly, just as a gift for Princess Margaret's farewell.

"Your Highness..."

"Call me Margaret."

The princess said softly, but somewhat forcefully.

"Alright, Margaret."

Xia De said, and this form of address made the princess blush instead.

"How about... we go out for a walk?"

Xia De pointed outside the window:

"This is a farewell party held for you, but perhaps you don't have to be present all the time. Let these noisy and vulgar people celebrate the damn separation themselves. The two of us, yes, only the two of us. Let's go around the city and come back within two hours. If someone comes to look for you..."

"Then let them wait slowly. You are right, Xia De, occasionally doing some out-of-the-ordinary things is not bad."

Xia De could guarantee that he had never said such things.

"The night before leaving, going around the city is also good, just as a commemoration. Knight, please wait for me for a moment, I want to change my clothes."

"Oh, please also prepare an outer garment for me, yes, a black cloak with a hood. Margaret, please also prepare an identical piece of clothing. We are going to a... special place this time."

Due to Princess Margaret being attacked in the city some time ago, the protection of Canary Manor became tighter than in the past, but this could not stump the two Ring Warlocks.

She looked very happy, smiling and jumping out of the window with Xia De, then using illusion to deceive the guards from the back garden of the manor, and leaving the manor together.

Tobesk City tonight was foggy, the starry sky was completely covered, and only the three moons were vaguely visible. The young princess and the knight walked side by side, walking into this city that had fallen into deep sleep.
