Chapter 1672: The Farewell Dance at Yodel Palace

The weather in Tobesk City tonight was very good, and the spring starry sky was hanging upside down above Yodel Palace. Only Angelina, Xia De, and the little Princess's maid remained in the garden. The Princess looked back, and the maid very consciously turned and went to wait at the garden entrance.

Suppressing the throbbing in her heart and her gratitude toward her sister, Angelina took off the small silver crown from her head and hooked it on her arm, then put her right hand behind her head, letting her red long hair, which had been bound, be released, and shook her head slightly, letting it drape behind her.

This appearance made her look significantly more mature than just a moment ago:

"Knight."

She looked at Xia De beside her, and Xia De also looked at her.

"The moonlight is beautiful."

She looked at the man who seemed to be favored by the moonlight; he seemed even more unusual in the night:

"Sister said that you know the moon very well and are very good at using the power of the moon. Now, can you talk to me about... the moon?"

Her lively eyes seemed to be able to speak. Between every frown and smile, although there were shadows of Lixia and Miss Galina, she was completely different from them. Standing on tiptoe, their lips touched lightly. Both of them kept their eyes open and saw themselves in the other's eyes.

Night, 9:40 PM, Yodel Palace Banquet Hall.

"What are you thinking about?"

When the dance music played in the banquet hall, Galina Cavendish, wearing a purple long gown and a silver crown, was held by the waist by Xia De and entered the dance floor first.

The beautiful Witch noticed Xia De's contemplative expression and couldn't help but tease:

"Don't tell me that for the past hour, you and those two girls have been studying mathematics or philosophy in the room."

"No, no, of course not."

"Then it must be that those two girls finally found a way to counter your supernatural physique? Are you now in what is called the most rational time for men?"

She teased, and Xia De shook his head slightly and whispered something in her ear, causing the Witch to blush immediately:

"Alright, alright, I know you've only just begun, so I'll let you go back after the dance. Honestly, knowing I can't keep you tonight, yet you still say such things."

Saying this, she adjusted her pace with the slow rhythm and then leaned in slightly to sniff:

"It doesn't smell like you did nothing. Did Lixia change her perfume recently? This is the light version of the Golden Lily No. III perfume launched this spring, which is very close to the scent of the 'Witch's Scent' I use. Isn't she very confident? Why did she learn from me?"

Xia De didn't want to talk about perfume. He couldn't say that Lixia not only deliberately changed her perfume but also got underwear similar to hers, then asked him to call her "my Duke," and then... although he was in a very good mood now and thinking about going back as soon as the dance was over, he didn't want to change the mood of the Witch who was in a good mood now:

"I was just thinking about what the lunar eclipse means to me. Angelina and I were walking in the garden just now..."

"You were with Angelina just now? Are you sure you didn't say the wrong name?"

The Witch raised an eyebrow.

"Just a walk."

"No, no, I'm not surprised you were with Angelina. Who can't see Angelina's little thoughts? I'm surprised Lixia is so generous. This is the first time I've seen a tiger guarding its food voluntarily give it up... That's right, after all, tigers have sisters too. Please continue. Be careful, please don't step on me, Knight."

She reminded softly, but the smile on her face did not diminish.

"Sorry."

Xia De looked down at his feet and continued:

"Angelina invited me to discuss the topic of the moon... you can just take it as just the moon. Her inspiration is really very strong. She said that I have always looked like the moon, only recently, like the moon in the sky, I am darkening. More than one person has said that this lunar eclipse is very important to me. Sister Devlin and the Guardian of the Earth have both said so, but Miss Danister said that I had better hide from this lunar eclipse."

"Speaking of which, Angelina also has the talent of a diviner?"

The Witch said with a smile, but she didn't seem to care much:

"Although I can't compare to your teacher who is known as the 'Red Moon Witch,' I am very sure that a lunar eclipse is also part of the moon's phases. I heard that some people—like the one who sits in the moon seat during meetings—have ways to enhance their own power even in the face of a lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse is just a disappearing moon, a shadow of the moon. What are you worried about?"

The two held each other, and she whispered in Xia De's ear, as if flirting.

"It is flirting."

As if seeing through Xia De's thoughts, the Witch smiled gently, enjoying such a dance:

"On the night of the lunar eclipse next Wednesday, I will likely have already arrived at Green Lake. If you are worried, why don't you spend the night at my place?"

"If there is nothing urgent, I'd better stay at home. It's safer at home."

"Look, you rejected me again. Come, don't talk about those depressing things, let's continue dancing. I know Angelina is still waiting for you to invite her over there, but she can wait a little longer. Lixia is very generous to her, but I am different. A Witch never knows what concession is."

She kissed Xia De on the side of his face, which surprised everyone who was secretly observing them. Xia De also unexpectedly raised his hand to cover the side of his face, looking at the shyness and joy in the eyes of the beautiful red-haired lady close at hand:

"Xia De, I warn you in advance, after arriving in Green Lake City, I will arrange the meeting with Megan however I want, and you are not to stop me. It's been a long time since I encountered such an interesting thing, you must let me arrange it."

Beneath that shyness and joy was uncontrollable excitement.

"Actually, it's better to just meet and talk, and don't make Megan too embarrassed."

Xia De was a little worried.

"How can that be? Since she likes role-playing so much, let her act to the end. Don't worry, I want to make things difficult for her, not for you."

Miss Galina said, and after being spun around by Xia De with the music, she leaned into his arms and looked up at him:

"If little Lixia hadn't booked you in advance tonight, I wouldn't let you leave no matter what."

Originally, Xia De planned to dance two dances with Miss Galina and then go to invite Angelina. As a result, it wasn't until the third dance ended and the band took a short break that the Witch was willing to let go of Xia De:

"Tomorrow evening, remember to go to the train station to see us off."

She exhorted, and then walked toward Tifa who was waiting on the side. And Angelina, who had been waiting anxiously, ignored her reserve and smiled as she walked toward Xia De. However, when the dance music played again, she whispered to Xia De:

"Just now, Great-Aunt's head maid, that Miss Servet with a very good figure, asked me to tell you that there is a very strange person here. He is carrying a soul with him."

"A soul? Here?"

Xia De was slightly surprised. This was Yodel Palace; he couldn't imagine what kind of soul could enter a place that had been set up with a large number of exorcism and blessing rituals by the Church.

"Is that person still there?"

"Yes, although I can't see the soul, Miss Servet told me the person's appearance. The other party is not dancing, but watching others play Lode cards over there. Please hold my waist, yes, spin, right, gently, gently... yes, turn your head to the left. Do you see? That person who looks frail."

Now Xia De saw it. That was not a stranger, but Drout Giles who had grave-robbed on the central island of Green Lake, and the little girl soul discovered by Tifa was naturally Miss Last Edwards. However, the other party was not floating openly on the side, but hiding in Giles's body, only occasionally popping her head out to look around. She was probably just unlucky to be seen by Tifa.

Such a harmless soul that could not affect reality was difficult for low-ring or even most mid-ring sorcerers to see without casting spells or drinking potions. It was truly bad luck to the extreme that she was noticed by Tifa, who had already been promoted to the Eighth Ring.

"It's okay, it's an acquaintance, I'll go talk to him in a while."

Xia De didn't quite understand how this guy could have come here. If he remembered correctly, Drout Giles had been plagued by poverty like other grave robbers because of a curse. Although attending this banquet didn't mean he had gotten rid of poverty, this didn't look like a place he could come to at all.

So after dancing three dances with Angelina, Xia De went to the restroom to disguise his face, then patted Drout Giles on the shoulder from behind and came to the corridor outside the banquet hall with him.

The dance began, and the banquet had reached its liveliest moment. In a while, His Majesty the King would finish his speech and hand over the letter of full authority for negotiation to Miss Galina, and only then would the banquet be considered over. Therefore, everyone was still gathered in the banquet hall, and the corridor lit by gas lamps was empty.

The banquet hall was soundproofed extremely well, and the corridor and the room separated by a wall felt like two different worlds. Drout Giles looked nervously at the stranger who had brought him out and tentatively asked:

"Are you... the Professor's friend?"

"Yes, you really have guts, bringing her to a place like this."

Xia De leaned against the wall and shook his head.

"I have no choice, she refuses to wait for me at home."

The man, whose face was still pale even though it was powdered, said helplessly:

"It was my relative, Viscount Chris Randall, who gave me the invitation. He said I shouldn't always be cooped up at home and should come out for a walk occasionally. This distant uncle is really enthusiastic, and Last was also clamoring to come out for a walk. I thought this might be good for her recovery, so I came... should be, not discovered by others, right?"

"Look, didn't I discover you?"

Xia De didn't intend to waste more time here, but warned:

"You'd better be careful. Although the Church won't care much about such a harmless soul, if it's discovered that you are a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, things will be troublesome." ===== CHAPTER 1673 =====
