Chapter 1942: The Butterfly

~11 min read 2,078 words

Although letting ordinary people come into contact with relics is a quite irrational act, Ajilina was about to awaken, and there were so many ring mages in the entire building now, and the ladies with high perception could also know whether Ajilina was in trouble across floors.

"Okay, Great-Aunt."

The little princess nodded obediently, and when she left, she heard the three witches who were talking about their respective itineraries afterward.

Although the night was deep, there were still many people walking around in the hotel on the island. Ajilina didn't know most of them, but she also knew that these people would be her "companions" in the future.

When going up the stairs, she was still thinking about what her sister was doing now. When she reached the third floor, she guessed whether Xia De would be in the bedroom. But when she pushed open Xia De's unlocked bedroom door, she immediately saw Xia De's figure jumping down from upstairs through the window.

So Xia De would not be in the room.

Although the room Xia De lived in the hotel was the best kind, the actual area was not large, at least not as big as the changing room in Ajilina's room in the Yodel Palace.

She could also feel that she was about to awaken, so she tried to capture the traces of elements with inspiration instead of looking for the location of the relics with her eyes, according to the way she heard from Princess Lei Lei Qianya. For a ring mage, knowing the name, characteristics, and appearance of a relic, it should not be difficult to capture whisper elements.

Closing her eyes according to what was said in the storybook, making other senses more sensitive. Soon, she successfully found the 【Concentric Sword】 placed on the bedside table. But looking for the invisibility cloak was not smooth, and finally found that it was the 【Hide-and-Seek Wardrobe】 moved to the corner of the bedroom that interfered with her perception... At least Ajilina explained it to herself this way.

She finally found the silver invisibility cloak folded neatly on the second layer of the cabinet under the window with her eyes, and guessed that this was folded by the maids of her aunt. After finding the two relics, she looked curiously at the inconspicuous wardrobe in the corner again.

The shape of the wardrobe was very ordinary, but looking at it too much produced a strong sense of fear from the heart, as if some unspeakable monster was hidden inside.

"I am not curious, just want to overcome my fear, otherwise I will definitely keep thinking about what is inside for a long time."

Ajilina said to herself, and after convincing herself, she couldn't help her curiosity, pushed open the wardrobe, and took a look inside.

Of course, there was nothing in the wardrobe; the little princess breathed a sigh of relief, then walked into it very naturally, and closed the door from the inside.

"Oh?"

Almost at the same time, Miss Miss Jia Lin Na in the basement looked up at the top of her head and shook her head helplessly.

"What's wrong?"

Miss Sylvia asked, and the red-haired witch sighed:

"Ajilina was affected by the relic and entered the 【Hide-and-Seek Wardrobe】 herself."

Miss Afu Luola frowned slightly:

"Ask someone to call her out?"

"No need, it's not in the out-of-control state of the relic; she will just be locked inside and can't come out. I'll get her out tomorrow morning; it's a lesson for Ajilina, letting her know how dangerous the world of ring mages is. Really, I originally thought about whether she could suppress her curiosity... This lesson is very necessary; remember this incident, and she won't make it again in the future."

After speaking, she smiled and said to the other two:

"Speaking of which, when I first met Xia De, he also accidentally triggered a relic like this. I remember it was the 【Dark Box】, at the Lucky Southern Cross Club..."

On the other side, although Xia De jumping down from the roof caused surprise to the girls at the door, fortunately, he explained clearly that there were no enemies on the roof and he was not jumped down directly because he was being hunted.

So he returned to the room from the front door of the hotel, and when he went upstairs along the stairs, he was still worried about how to deal with the relationship with Grace and Helen. "She" laughed in Xia De's heart, as if mocking Xia De for being confused again because of this kind of thing:

"Not confused again; Grace and Helen are different from other girls."

Soon, Xia De met a message brought to him by a maid lady at the stairwell on the second floor. Princess Lei Lei Qianya was waiting for him in his room.

And when Xia De returned to his room, he saw the girl with gold-red long hair standing by the window. There was a tray on the windowsill, and there were two glasses of red wine on the tray.

Princess Lei Lei Qianya, or Xiao Xiao Miya, turned around and walked over, stuffed one of the glasses into Xia De's hand, and then blinked at him playfully:

"Knight, tonight, you shouldn't have anything else to do, right?"

The green eyes seemed to be rippling with water, and the blush on her slightly red cheeks was quite charming. There was some shyness and boldness in her eyes, and some hard-to-find eagerness to try:

"The Day of the Red Butterfly has about five hours left. Xia De, the opportunity that only comes once every 21 days, you wouldn't want us to give it up, right? Loyal knight, you won't let the princess down, right?"

She touched Xia De's wine glass lightly, and Xia De turned around to confirm that the bedroom door had been closed, and then looked at the girl in front of him:

"Loyalty, yes, yes."

She snapped her fingers, and the gas lamp turned off immediately, but those eyes, for some reason, actually glowed with green light in the dark night

"Tell me, actually, am I very charming right now?"

She lifted her head slightly, her tone and expression both somewhat arrogant.

"Of course."

"Having gotten used to Dorothea, having gotten used to Rhesa, my most loyal knight, tonight, don't waste any time."

She kissed the corner of Xia De's mouth in the darkness, then took Xia De's hand and walked toward the bedroom.

The cat held by Xia De remained silent, hoping not to be locked in the wardrobe; fortunately, this time it was just placed in the cat bed on the table, and then it gloomily watched the interaction between the two.

"Help me check carefully."

She whispered in Xia De's ear, the blush on her face still visible at close range:

"Have I mentioned to you? Every time we merge with each other, our state will return to the most perfect moment."

She was currently facing away from the cat, so the cat's amber eyes could see the pair of small, hidden butterfly wings behind her back. The cat tilted its head slightly, not knowing whether it should remind Xia De.

"So..."

Xia De blinked in confusion, not sure why she mentioned this now. Thus, the girl in front of him gently patted Xia De's arm with her hand, her emerald eyes filled with a look of feigned reproach:

"Don't you understand? I just want to ask you to be our... groom again tonight."

Xia De felt his heart almost jump out of his chest for a moment. The cat in the cat bed yawned, didn't look at what happened next, but turned around boredly and looked at the wardrobe in the corner again. Although the wardrobe was very close to the bed, no one except the cat noticed this relic. After all, he and they were simply too focused, and that was the nature of the 【Hide-and-Seek Wardrobe】.

Although no one noticed the wardrobe, the eyes of the person locked inside, unable to come out, were watching them through the gap in the wardrobe. The curtains were tightly drawn, and there was no light in the room; she could only see blurry shadows entangled and could only hear those faint sounds.

Excitement, bitterness, thrill, pain, and some kind of uncontrollable emotion were affecting her more and more intensely. The person she loved was close at hand but unattainable, the steadfast knight was showing loyalty to someone else in front of her, and she could only watch.

Her lips seemed to have been bitten open, and the bloody taste made her spirit even more twisted and exhilarated. Angelina Cavendish heard a cracking sound in her head; the abnormal growth of her mental power and the extreme distortion of her emotions, amidst the entanglement of love and foolish longing, passion and madness, craving and unattainability, excitement and bitterness, led her perfectly to the final step of a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi's awakening.

(Little Mia is running...)

On the eve of midnight, when Xia De realized the time was near and let the lazy girl in his arms leave in time, she was still sweeping Xia De's chin with the tips of her hair:

"Really, this makes me feel like Cinderella who has to go home before midnight."

Because the hotel was in the woods, there was no worry about anyone looking over, so the curtains had been drawn open at some point. The moonlight on the island seemed brighter than in the normal world, and the light of the three moons shone into the unlit room, illuminating the face that combined the advantages of Rhesa and Dorothea.

That face carried laziness and a blush.

"Cinderella? Although I'm not any prince, your glass slipper is already with me."

Xia De said with a smile:

"So, I will find you again; your glass slipper will always belong to me."

The girl kissed his cheek lightly:

"You are always so good with words. Oh, Xia De, don't tempt me, otherwise, when I think that the next meeting is 21 days away, the pain in my heart will become stronger."

"Then, let Rhesa and Dorothea separate first. With you like this, I don't even know how to address you. I wouldn't call you Miss Princess; that would make me feel like there's another person in our relationship, and that feeling is very strange."

Xia De mentioned "separating," and a look of slight panic appeared on the face of the girl he was holding. But she buried her head in Xia De's arms, not letting Xia De notice this:

"There are still five minutes left, hug me for a while longer."

"But if we wait until the five minutes are up, one of you will have to go to the living room outside the bedroom to change clothes."

"Really, you are so annoying."

She patted Xia De lightly again, with very weak force. But she still let Xia De help her sit up, then gently brushed Xia De's cheek with her right hand:

"Actually, this is not bad, but it's still not as interesting as before. This experience is enough; next time, let's stick to the old way, but we can try this kind of game in the middle."

She kissed Xia De's cheek one last time and beckoned for her clothes on the carpet to fly over. Xia De took them and helped her organize and put them on; "Her Highness the Princess" of course would not object.

When she turned her back to Xia De to lift her hair, she said with a smile:

"This trip to the Green Lake area was really interesting. It seems that staying in Tobesk City all the time is not a good thing. It's just a pity that there won't be many such opportunities in the future, and I don't know how the subsequent negotiations will be arranged..."

"Negotiations, yes, this troublesome matter is still ongoing."

The moonlight outside the window made her already snow-white back look like it was glowing, but Xia De's hand paused slightly.

Rhesa, who reached back to lift her hair, saw Xia De hesitating and turned her head slightly in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

Suddenly, her eyes widened, as if she realized something. She wanted to turn around to prevent Xia De from seeing her back, but she had already been grabbed by the shoulders by Xia De.
