Chapter 136: Writer and Princess

~7 min read 1,391 words

Just like Miss Louisa's view, the carriage taken by the maid Tifa was indeed a special carriage for nobles. The interior decoration and furniture were simply like a small meeting room.

The black-haired maid sat there alone. She was still wearing the maid dress she wore last time, and even the headband was the same. Her hands were overlapped and placed on her legs. After seeing Xia De, she nodded slightly:

"Good evening, Detective Hamilton."

"Good evening, am I late?"

After Xia De sat down, he handed the thing wrapped in newspaper to her. But the black-haired maid didn't take it, she sized up Xia De:

"Not very late, you try to open it."

Xia De looked at the maid, didn't ask much, opened the lock again, and then tried to lift the lid of the lacquered wooden box, but still didn't succeed.

Only then did he hand the makeup box to Tifa. The box was opened with a light pull in the maid's hand. Xia De looked curiously, and the maid also rotated the angle to let him see the contents clearly.

A very ordinary makeup box, the interior was divided into small grids, containing different cosmetics... The outsider couldn't recognize any of them.

The black-haired maid was definitely also a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi. Xia De didn't know what method the other party used, but after a faint brass-colored spiritual light flickered, she confirmed the authenticity of this item and showed a gentle smile to Xia De:

"Detective, you did very well."

"I have one more thing to say, that person who delivered the goods... I killed him, does this matter?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

The maid tilted her head slightly and asked Xia De in confusion. Her age was about the same as the age of Xia De's body, and her skin was unusually white. But it wasn't pale, but the color of milk. Her eyes were large, and her black hair was the most in line with the outsider's aesthetics.

"I mean, will this affect Miss Cavendish..."

He probably understood that the other party didn't care about this.

"Miss likes others to call her 'Miss Galina'."

The maid reminded.

"Okay, will this affect Miss Galina's affairs?"

"Mr. Hamilton, don't underestimate Miss's power, and don't think 【Mercury Blood】 is a very powerful force."

The maid said, and then patted the small box she put on the table, showing a smile to Xia De:

"You did follow the commission agreement and sent this makeup box. Apart from this, Miss Galina won't care about anything you do... However."

She looked at Xia De's expression and asked softly:

"The explosion just now, it wasn't caused by you, right?"

St. Deran Square is half an hour's walk from the pickup location, so it's normal for her to hear the sound. Xia De smiled awkwardly, and the maid didn't ask much, but continued:

"A little earlier on Sunday afternoon, I will send someone here to help you prepare for the Rhode card game at night, please don't go out. If you win, Miss will not be stingy with rewards, and by then you will also know which side she belongs to... Actually, you can guess it, Witch Council."

She just said this kind of secret information. After finding that Xia De's surprise was not so obvious, she shook her head regretfully:

"Miss was right, you really guessed it."

"You just told me like this?"

Xia De was actually surprised by this point. He had already guessed that the other party was a member of the Witch Council.

"So what? And, after you win the bet on the weekend, can't you know the same?"

The maid replied, tidying her hair.

The carriage carrying the maid left St. Deran Square. Xia De watched her leave, greeted Miss Louisa standing in the shadow of the house, took out the key and opened the door.

Immediately, a black shadow darted over in the brightly lit foyer. Xia De happily hugged the cat that jumped from the shoe cabinet:

"Mia, are you bored at home alone?"

Being greeted by a creature when returning home made the lonely outsider very happy.

The orange cat rubbed against Xia De with her soft little face, and then suddenly twitched her nose to look at Miss Louisa, she smelled the fishy smell.

"Oh, little cat, we meet again."

Miss Louisa greeted Mia, but the orange cat "roared" at Miss Louisa again because of fear. Although this cat is sometimes fierce, it is unusually timid and still not used to being taken around by Xia De.

Taking Miss Louisa to the second floor, of course, there couldn't be women's clothes in the young detective's home. But fortunately, Detective Sparrow had many large windbreakers and coats for the convenience of tracking, allowing Miss Louisa to change clothes in Detective Sparrow Hamilton's bedroom, while Xia De returned to the study to record today's transaction.

"Really didn't expect that 'that lady' was Galina Cavendish."

This was the first sentence Miss Louisa said when she walked out of the bedroom while wiping her hair with a towel. She didn't take a bath in a single man's home, just simply wiped her hair with a towel to ensure that she wouldn't arouse the suspicion of the landlady when she went back.

"Hmm? You saw it?"

Xia De put down the pen in his hand.

"Is it very surprising? I actually recognized that maid, Tifa Servet. This is the personal maid of Duchess Galina Cavendish. Since she came to hand over with you in person, then that lady must be Galina... Didn't expect it, she is actually a high-ring mage... In this way, many things can be explained."

Miss Louisa said while thinking and walked to the sofa.

Xia De was originally organizing the account book, and now he couldn't continue:

"That maid only showed up once, I almost didn't recognize her."

"This can be considered my little secret. I have a good friendship with one of the royal family members, to be precise, I have a good friendship with a princess of the royal family."

The golden-haired girl said lightly, and then looked around the detective agency. Like Miss Beiya and Miss Annette who visited, she was also interested in the cute Mia cat, but unfortunately, even though she still had the fishy smell from the artifact, Mia still didn't like being held by strangers.

The professor of St. Byrons suspected that Miss Louisa was an academic spy of the Zaras Academy of Literature, but looking at her appearance, the hidden story seems to be deeper.

"This place is really good."

Miss Louisa evaluated.

"Please don't tell others about Miss Galina."

Xia De exhorted again.

"Of course I won't talk about her being a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, I know it myself. Just now I was just sighing, why does it seem like everyone has secrets."

She said jokingly, Xia De squinted and didn't dare to look at her.

"However, you must be careful when cooperating with that woman. She has hated men for a long time. Privately, there are rumors that she actually likes... beautiful girls."

The golden-haired girl showed an ambiguous smile:

"This person has mental cleanliness. Is this the word? I heard the doctor mention it last time."

"Are you and Miss Galina very familiar?"

Xia De asked tentatively again. He didn't want to know other people's secrets, just curious.

Miss Louisa picked her ear-side hair with her fingers, her eyes looking at that strand of hair instead of Xia De, which is a very obvious performance when lying.

"Of course not familiar, Galina Cavendish is a Duchess with a fief, I am just an ordinary Tobesk writer, where would I know her? Just heard friends mention it. However, high-ring mage, hates men, single..."

She looked at Xia De:

"I felt strange before, but now that I know these things, I think, wouldn't she be a member of the Witch Council? She meets all these standards. Oh, if it's really like this, then the affairs of the Cavendish royal family of Delarian are really getting more and more interesting."

The golden-haired female writer raised her neck, and under the light of Xia De's living room, the smile became more obvious.

Her relationship with the royal family is definitely not that simple.
