Chapter 1726

"Jia Jia Lin Na, in order to tease me, you didn't even hesitate to let your underage grand-niece kiss your lover?"

Megan, who was trembling with anger, pointed at the duchess, who corrected her with a smile:

"Although little Angelina is not tall and has a pitiful figure, she is already an adult. Besides, I didn't force her; she might even want to thank me."

"I..."

"Megan, you don't actually have to be so angry. You hid your identity and thought about my knight. What's wrong with me giving you a surprise? By the way, this has nothing to do with Xia De; he has always wanted me to give up."

"I know this has nothing to do with him. Now that I think about it, all his weird behavior can be explained. So, you are this... We agreed that we are all council members and we are all sisters, right?"

Megan breathed heavily to calm her emotions, and Miss Jia Jia Lin Na said with a smile:

"Yeah, the sisters of our Cavendish family get along like this. If you don't believe me, you can ask Angelina in a while. In fact, the sisters of our family do even more excessive things when they get along."

She blinked:

"You wouldn't be unable to accept this kind of joke, would you?"

Megan's mouth twitched, and she threw the wine glass at her. It seemed that the two were still restrained. The red-haired witch had long expected her to do this, flicked her finger, and with a ding sound, the wine glass flew back. Not a drop of wine in the glass was spilled, and at the same time, a layer of uncertain light was attached to the surface of the cup:

"You wouldn't forget that I am 12th-ring and you are 11th-ring, right?"

Megan reached out to catch the cup, but didn't expect the glass to pass through her hand like a phantom. The red-haired witch was about to smile and let the wine glass turn from virtual to real to end this small fight, but saw a pure white translucent spiritual arm stretch out from behind Megan to catch the cup.

Subsequently, two spiritual arms hugged Megan's shoulders, and a spiritual head identical to Megan's passed through Megan's brown hair and poked out from behind her.

Even though she had seen many weird scenes, the duchess was still shocked by this scene:

"You..."

"Alright, the joke can end."

Xia De spoke and asked the red-haired witch beside him seriously:

"Satisfied now?"

"Satisfied, tonight was really interesting."

Miss Jia Jia Lin Na said with a smile, and then apologized to Megan:

"I know you are very angry, so I apologize for this joke. Isn't this kind of welcome ceremony interesting? And look, the result is very good now, you don't have to worry about me reporting Xia De, you should be happy."

She led Xia De towards the sofa, and Xia De apologized again:

"Megan, Audrey, I'm really sorry, I was also a participant in this prank."

"You don't need to apologize to me, I know who to blame."

Audrey's spiritual body said, and then Megan's hand pulled suddenly, pulling Xia De in front of them, and then in front of Miss Jia Jia Lin Na, body and soul overlapped, and the two kissed Xia De together.

The red-haired witch still had a smile on her face, sat down elegantly, and watched this scene with a wine glass. After the two... three separated, she signaled them to sit down and talk:

"If you want to vent your dissatisfaction and anger in this way, I won't object. This joke was a bit excessive, but I have to seek justice for myself. But I opened my eyes today. So three people kissing is like this... Is this your perfect 'Dual-in-One' posture? It's truly beautiful."

The last half of her sentence was not sarcasm, but sincere:

"But we've made enough noise, sit down and talk, there's still a lot to say."

Saying that, she shouted at the door, letting Angelina take Tifa and other maid ladies back to the banquet hall first to maintain the order of the banquet on behalf of Miss Jia Jia Lin Na, who was temporarily absent. So Angelina, who was eavesdropping on the door, gave a response after taking a step back.

And inside the door, Audrey's upper body soul returned to her body. She sat opposite Jia Jia Lin Na with a wine glass, watched Xia De sit on the side sofa, and then was pulled to her side by the red-haired witch to sit down.

After the anger and shame, this great witch of wisdom and knowledge also re-thought the situation rationally. She quietly watched Jia Jia Lin Na arrange for Angelina to return to the banquet hall, actually using this time to calm down and think about everything that had happened so far.

"Jia Jia Lin Na, you are really good at manipulating other people's emotions."

She stared at the red-haired witch opposite, who toasted her:

"Thanks to family education."

After raising her eyebrows, she took the initiative to explain:

"Calmed down? It seems you have accepted my apology. However, don't you admit that you are secretly happy in your heart right now?"

"What exactly is going on between you and Xia De Hamilton?"

Megan asked, and Xia De took the initiative to answer:

"Last summer, I met Jia Jia Lin Na in Tobeisk. At first, she also used many methods to test my identity and gender, and later agreed with me to explore the origin of my special nature together. Later..."

"I fell into the big net named love woven by the knight."

The duchess laughed, looking at Megan:

"Although I teased you, you have to admit that we are standing together."

"Since we are standing together, you should have informed me of these things in advance. If the council found out about Xia De because of your concealment, what would we do then?"

Megan asked in a stern tone, so the red-haired witch reached out to Xia De's neck, hooked a thin line, and then took out the badge:

"Do you think Xia De and I are unprepared? Look at this, made according to the alchemy formula of the Fifth Era, a prop that can detect witches. However, it is not very effective for you; it must be within one meter to be effective."

She gently signaled Xia De to lower his head, then took off the pendant and threw it to Megan. After the latter took it, she really felt the amazing heat, and immediately understood what was heating up on his chest every time she hugged Xia De.

And seeing that the badge on the pendant was the badge of the "Duchess of Saladil," the corners of her mouth twitched a few more times.

Xia De also explained:

"Megan, the first few times I met you, I couldn't be sure if you were a witch. It wasn't until we met the Mirror-Hiding Person and you were forced to turn into a cat that I confirmed your witch identity."

"And it was I who didn't let him tell you his identity."

Miss Jia Jia Lin Na took the initiative to say, and she really didn't make things difficult for Xia De. Leaning gently on Xia De, she said in a somewhat sweet tone:

"I couldn't be sure of your attitude towards Xia De at that time, after all, Xia De is an exception that appeared for the first time. I think you should be able to understand my worries, right? My thoughts at that time were exactly the same as yours just now."

"You..."

Megan took a deep breath, then took the initiative to switch to Audrey, letting her sister continue to handle the things in front of her:

"You said it was for Xia De's safety, but why do I feel like you were deliberately retaliating against me for seducing your..."

She stopped abruptly, knowing that she absolutely could not admit this:

"Retaliating against me for knowing Xia De's identity but not sharing it with you."

"How could you think so? That's ridiculous."

The duchess lightly denied this. However, she had no grudge against Audrey and Megan. She achieved her goal tonight and was satisfied, so she didn't want to provoke the relationship between the two too much, so she restrained her expression slightly and said seriously:

"Tell you a good piece of news, you don't have to worry about the council's attitude towards Xia De. The number of witches who know about Xia De, plus you, is just over half, a total of seven."

Audrey frowned slightly, this was indeed good news:

"You actually have so many people hiding this matter together, and you have never leaked any wind, you are really... That's great. Besides you and me, who else? You know this is important."

Miss Jia Jia Lin Na signaled Xia De to say it, while she drank red wine and looked at Xia De close at hand.

"The second witch who recognized me was Miss Xiwei Aurora. Then I met Grandma Qina Cassandra in Midhillburg. Later, during Princess Margaret's visit to Tobeisk, I met Miss Emma Sylvia. After the Year-End Festival, at the beginning of this year, I met Miss Vanessa Bernice of the Golden Dawn in Randell Valley."

Xia De said, and Audrey frowned deeply:

"How is your relationship with these witches? Just acquaintances, or are you already friends? Witches are not all as easy to get along with as Jia Jia Lin Na and me. For example, Xiwei, I am very sure she is a traditional witch and absolutely cannot like men."

"Xiwei is very bold. Your impression of her is too stereotypical. She and Xia De... Fortunately, I was the first to meet Xia De."

The duchess said with a smile.

Audrey looked at Xia De in surprise:

"Your ability is even greater than I thought. Xiwei actually also... But what about the others? For example, Grandma Cassandra, don't tell me that Grandma and Xia De are also..."

"No, no, please don't let your imagination run wild."

Xia De hurriedly shook his head to deny her overly bold idea:

"I am only acquainted with Grandma's teachers, so Grandma Cassandra trusts me very much. You can think of it this way: she absolutely cannot be detrimental to me."

Audrey and Megan had also heard some rumors about the old witch's teachers, plus that wish-granting demon said he had seen Xia De a thousand years ago, so they didn't delve into it:

"What about Sylvia? That kind of young, independent girl, even if she met Xia De, this special case, wouldn't be easily attracted by him, right? Young girls are not us, she is a witch of the new era."

The duchess holding a wine glass almost laughed out loud:

"Sylvia, she is the most excessive among us. She hopes Xia De will become her apprentice. Yes, the kind of apprentice in that relationship. She appreciates Xia De quite a bit and thinks Xia De is a rare person who shares her interests."

"There is such a thing?"

Audrey saw Xia De nod before accepting this fact:

"So, the gentleman in front of me has a doctorate in mathematics or physics? Or are you a so-called folk scientist with many interesting inventions?"

Speaking of this topic, Xia De was really embarrassed:

"I... I am actually illiterate and have never been to school. Except for not telling you that I knew you were a witch, I haven't lied about anything else about me. I was really a homeless person with no family or relatives before."

Xia De shook his head gently, and Audrey showed an apologetic expression, finally asking:

"What about Vanessa? Isn't she a firm celibate? Even if she regrets it, I think the one she is looking for is that Miss Xiris Lassus. What does she think of Xia De?"

"What does she think... She performed for Xia De alone."

The duchess looked at Xia De sideways. Xia De recalled the enthusiastic solo dance of Miss Bernice when they parted in Randell Valley... The spotlight on the stage that day was very bright and very hot.

"And, Xia De and she both refuse to say what exactly she performed. That opera singer is better at performance and role-playing than you, and captured my knight without knowing it."

The duchess said softly, summarizing the current situation:

"So far, more than half of the members of the council are standing by Xia De's side. Even if the Speaker discovers him now, even if the council discusses the plan to deal with him, we are the majority."
