Chapter 1121: A Lonely Afternoon

"Surprise?"

Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya's smile was full of deep meaning, but Xia De now couldn't guess it. Witches were mystics, and Xia De didn't explore it further, but said:

"Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya, shall I go with you to see Princess Margaret in a while? Meeting again before the Year-End Festival, I also want to reveal my identity; there is no need to hide it from her anymore."

The witch naturally nodded in agreement. Miss Jia Lin Na knew about this, so she teased and explained to Miss A Fu Luo La on the side:

"The young knight has charmed another innocent princess. Our family's little Princess Lei Qianya was deceived by him, and I didn't expect the princess of Kasenrike to be deceived by him too."

"Eat lunch here before you go, it can be considered celebrating the success of this operation."

Miss A Fu Luo La suggested with a smile. Seeing that everyone didn't object, she stood up and walked toward Xia De:

"There is about half an hour before lunch. To reward your performance in Pantanal Lake and the knowledge you brought us, the three of us will teach you some new things together, so that you can deal with those ancient witches in the Fifth Era in the future."

Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya's face was slightly red, but she also stood up. The three witches surrounded Xia De, and three pairs of eyes with golden luster looked at him together.

"Half an hour... what are you going to teach me?"

The Outsider holding Little Mia, facing three gradually approaching shadows, had a bad premonition.

"The Elegant Flower of Cambella" Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya stood in front of Xia De, brushed her red lips with her fingers, and then bit her lower lip; "The Duchess of Saladir" Jia Lin Na Cavendish held Xia De's left hand, and the princess's teacher Emma Xi Er Lu Weiya held Xia De's right hand.

"Kissing techniques."

The witch with beautiful brown wavy long hair said with a smile. She took the cat from Xia De's chest and threw it aside, then held Xia De's face:

"You can't let ancient witches laugh at modern witches."

The face that leaned closer, the right eye blinked:

"Isn't it?"

In short, Xia De would probably never forget this half hour before lunch in the manor... But fortunately, it was really just kissing.

Miss A Fu Luo La probably planned to use this lunch to celebrate the success of the Pantanal operation, so the ingredients and meals prepared in advance were top-notch.

The four people chatted while eating at the dining table, talking about the follow-up of the Battle of Pantanal, talking about the impact of this snow on next year's spring plowing, and even talking about the relationship between the Kasenrike United Kingdom and the Delarion Kingdom after the Pantanal Xiewu was destroyed.

"Obviously, after the most dangerous Xiewu under the Great Swamp was eliminated, the plan to connect the north and south trade routes of the two countries through the Great Swamp area is being mentioned by people again."

Miss A Fu Luo La said. Although her family was a big merchant, it didn't mean there was no land trade:

"The core area of the Pantanal region is still not suitable for ordinary people to reach, but the surrounding areas are already fine."

Xia De at the dining table recalled the map of the Old Continent while cutting sausages for the cat. The Pantanal Great Swamp, which occupied the central and western parts of the Old Continent, did indeed hinder the transportation and trade routes. But if the swamp became less dangerous, then that place was indeed a good trade route.

"Because of the Church's warnings, over the years, Kasenrike and Delarion have not put too much energy into the Great Swamp, and even the national border line that nominally exists in the Great Swamp has not been publicly discussed."

Miss Jia Lin Na, who sat on one side of Xia De, sighed slightly while holding a spoon:

"I hope this matter will not become the fuse for the next all-out war."

"But the Pantanal Xiewu is essentially the resentment composed of decaying plants in the material world, and it will eventually revive..."

Xia De also mentioned a sentence, but soon shook his head again:

"However, that is a matter for many years later. At that time, Delarion and Kasenrike will probably have become the past in history."

Although the Battle of Pantanal failed to become the first bell of the apocalypse in the prophecy, that battle, no matter what, had begun to affect the progress of human civilization in another way. But now, no one could say clearly whether this influence was good or bad.

After lunch, Xia De took Little Mia and followed Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya to visit the manor where the princess was staying.

He had already told the witches that he intended to reveal his identity to the princess, and this would also let Margaret know the special nature of Xia De, this "man." Miss A Fu Luo La and Miss Jia Lin Na trusted Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya very much and believed that she could manage her student well.

In the carriage, Xia De sat opposite Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya, and the young great witch asked Xia De about the math problem about prime numbers he proposed when defeating Sir Pulinsha.

"Actually, I don't know the answer either. This problem is actually just a conjecture. Well, although I cannot give a proof, I must admit that if every prime number is used for verification, at least the prime numbers we can calculate manually all meet the requirements of this conjecture."

Xia De said while holding Little Mia, and then joked with a smile:

"In my opinion, this conjecture is like proving that Little Mia has supernatural power. I clearly know it is correct, but I can't prove it. It's really annoying... This cat is sometimes too smart."

The orange and white cat was enjoying its nap time at this moment, and compared to basking in the sun on the windowsill at home, it obviously enjoyed being held by Xia De more.

"Just a conjecture? But it is indeed very interesting. I even think I can use this conjecture to publish several high-quality papers."

Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya looked at Xia De with a hint of heat. She stood up in the moving carriage and sat beside Xia De. Golden eyes looked at Xia De, and Xia De was stunned for a moment before reaching out to hug her.

Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya tilted her head slightly and leaned on him:

"When you see Margaret in a while, do as I say. Although I won't oppose your relationship, it is also necessary to let the young girl know that the teacher is always the teacher."

In fact, Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya's age was younger than Margaret's. Margaret and Princess Lei Qianya were born in the same year, and Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya was younger than the Outsider's body.

According to the schedule, Princess Margaret's group would depart by steam train tonight to return to Willondale City. And on this snowy afternoon, the princess sat alone in the study on the second floor of the royal manor in the center of Huntington City.

She was not sitting behind the desk, but on the sofa, holding the report to be reported to her father, the current king known as "Lion Ryan," after returning to Willondale.

Tea and snacks were placed on the coffee table, the room was warm and comfortable, and even the scent of incense was just right, but the young princess was still a bit unhappy.

Although she held the report in her hand, her eyes looking at the paper did not notice the dense black letters, but instead saw Xia De's face on the paper.

Of course, there was no photo of Xia De on that paper. The photo of Xia De that the princess asked for before leaving was now tucked in a book in her luggage.

She was just a bit homesick, homesick for the young knight living in the distant City of Steam. Although they had only been separated for a week, thinking that they might not be able to meet for several months, and that the princess of a foreign country might be having afternoon tea with the knight, her heart felt blocked, making her chest feel stuffy.

Seeing that she couldn't read the report at all, she simply put down the paper, stood up, and came to the window, placing the sleeves of her white dress on the windowsill, her fair face supported by her hands outside the lotus-leaf cuffs, looking at the snowy courtyard:

"It's really... lonely."

Although the garden style of the Kasenrike aristocratic manor was very different from Delarion, it was also silver in deep winter. This made her easily think of the Canary Manor where she lived in Tobesk, and think of the young knight who went to "learn foreign languages."

If they could establish a relationship earlier, they might be able to be alone for a longer time, not just the walk in the snow on the night of parting.

"I don't know what the teacher is doing these days. She refused to explain the abnormality of the Pantanal Great Swamp on Wednesday night to me."

Muttering in her heart, she suddenly saw a figure in a black coat walking through the courtyard. Looking down from a high place, the figure was carefully avoiding the sight of the manor's servants, very cautiously hiding himself by passing through the fountain, leafless trees, and evergreen hedges in the courtyard in winter.

"Intruder?"

The princess frowned, thinking in her heart, seeing that figure getting closer and closer to the manor mansion. But she suddenly widened her eyes again, because the man in the black coat looked up to examine the window, looking for the destination, and had already revealed that handsome face.

"Xia De?"

She opened the window immediately, and didn't care at all even if the cold wind blew into the window and messed up the hair on her forehead. Xia De also saw that window, stood in the courtyard with a smile, and waved to Margaret at the window.

He looked left and right, confirmed that the butler walking in the courtyard had led a team of maids around to the warehouse in the back, so he put Little Mia on his head, and then covered the cat with his hat. He ran a few steps and jumped up fiercely, directly reaching the second floor with the help of the power of the curse. He climbed onto the edge of the windowsill quite nimbly. When Xia De tried hard to pull his body up, Margaret had already reached out her hand in disbelief, and the voice came from the cold wind:

"Xia De, is it really you? How could you..."

Margaret was not a weak princess. The Fifth Ring female Shushi pulled Xia De up with her own strength with one hand. And the temperature transmitted by Xia De's palm had already proved that the detective from the north had indeed come to Huntington City on this snowy, slightly lonely afternoon, and came before the princess. ===== CHAPTER 1122 =====
