Chapter 1973

"Speaking of which, today is Monday, I went out early in the morning and haven't taken this week's gift yet."

So before taking Iluna and Luweiya to the third floor, Xia De went to the basement and hugged the gift box. Because the events in the Green Lake area had ended, he had no other adventure plans recently except to visit Miss Gao De, so he didn't expect to get any amazing items in his heart.

The facts were indeed so. He did take out an ordinary item again, and it was a very familiar ordinary item. On the manuscript paper, beautiful flowery Delarion letters were written in blue ink, and the title of the content was "Family Past":

"This is... the handwritten manuscript of the twenty-fourth story of the Detective Hamilton story collection?"

This story was inspired by the love and hatred of the Edwards family that lasted for two hundred years. Dorothy did not use real character relationships, but conceived another set of complex relationships, letting "Detective Hamilton" accidentally receive a commission from the young daughter of this declining mysterious family who was wandering outside one day, and go to the family old house to find the lost photos of her parents, thereby gradually revealing the story of the whole family.

Dorothy used the "vacation" time at the Green Lake Hotel to write a super long story this time. The serialization in the "Steam Bird Daily" could not be finished in two or three issues. Before the Battle of Green Lake, she entrusted Xia De to send the beginning part of the story to the editorial department of the "Steam Bird Daily". The editors who read the story praised it and believed that this would be another peak story of the "Detective Hamilton Story Collection".

And more importantly, this handwritten story manuscript with Dorothy's autograph had already been given to Iluna by the blonde writer lady as a gift on Iluna's birthday. That was last week's thing.

So not only Xia De, but Iluna and Luweiya also recognized it.

"An identical replica? No, if all the details are the same, then this is not a replica."

This relic had been in his hands for almost a year, and this was the first time Xia De took out something he had seen before. And the eighteen-year-old girl looked at Xia De embarrassedly, and Luweiya quietly pulled Xia De's sleeve to remind him, so Xia De gave her this week's gift:

"Iluna, this belongs to you."

"Great!"

An undisguised smile immediately appeared on her face.

"But don't you already have a copy?"

Luweiya asked Iluna curiously, and the latter nodded:

"Yes, but this is a collection that needs to be carefully preserved. Now that there is a second copy, I can preserve one, and carefully use and watch the other."

As for this week's task, it was to tell a small story for anyone, even a cat would do. It doesn't need to be original, as long as it's telling a story.

Iluna received the gift again and was naturally overjoyed. Next, Xia De led them to the third floor to visit the extra "Room 3". They could all see Xia De's excitement and excitement about this, but when Iluna asked about the decoration of the room, Xia De stammered and didn't know how to speak.

Although it was indeed eating soft rice, there was a big difference between whether to say it out loud or not.

Of course, Xia De didn't forget to mention to Iluna and Luweiya about the church's gift to the "God Caller". The Sage-level relic 【Star Trace】 was taken out by Xia De to play with. He liked the appearance of this relic, and even more liked the feature that it could be carried conveniently.

The three spent this Monday afternoon in 6 St. Deran Square just like this. Near evening, dinner, cake, and bouquets were sent over. Iluna then realized that Xia De and Luweiya really wanted to make up a birthday party for her. After thanking them embarrassedly, she immersed herself in the atmosphere of this rare "holiday".

A sumptuous dinner, candles lit on the cake again, beautiful bouquets, wine with the color of rubies, these constituted Xia De's deepest impression of this night.

Luweiya was in high spirits and rarely drank a lot of wine. When the three clinked glasses above the candles, Iluna's eyes seemed a little red. Although the sentimental girl was already eighteen, she was still as simple and innocent as in the past... this is a compliment.

But no matter how unforgettable the night was, it always had to end. The two who had just returned to Tobesk both had their own things to do and had to throw themselves into the life of the big city again tomorrow. Therefore, at 8:30 in the evening, they said goodbye and left one after another.

Luweiya ordered Xia De to send Iluna back, while she took a carriage back to her apartment alone.

But in fact, when Xia De returned home after sending Iluna off, the purple-eyed diviner lady not only didn't leave, but had already changed into a pink-purple nightgown, holding a wine glass and standing at the window of the second-floor living room, looking at the night view of St. Deran Square.

"So, you count as lying to Iluna just now?"

Xia De asked with a smile, bent down to put the cat on his shoulder on the floor, let it run around the house, then took off his coat and opened his arms to hug the girl who walked over holding a wine glass.

"Celebrating her birthday today, but after the birthday party ended, she left but I stayed. How do you want me to say this?"

She leaned her head in Xia De's arms, listening to that powerful and familiar heartbeat:

"Do you want me to say: Oh, my dear Iluna, next is adult time, so please leave quickly, don't disturb us!"

She shook her head gently, which made Xia De feel that she was imitating the action of Little Mia rubbing in his arms.

Putting the wine glass into Xia De's hand, Luweiya then raised her arms to hug Xia De's neck. The thick taste of "blood-brewed red wine" between their lips when kissing made this kiss more romantic than any other time.

After a kiss, she was still hugging Xia De's neck, her purple eyes carrying the kind of passion that almost ignited Xia De's soul:

"Knight, are the twin witches interesting? Or is that pair of butterflies more interesting?"

This question didn't need Xia De to answer. She bit her own lip and made a request to the knight tonight:

"I want you to treat me even more passionately than when you play with them. My knight~"

Luweiya chose to spend her first night back in Tobesk at 6 St. Deran Square, which Xia De had long expected. But the passion she showed still surprised Xia De.

He could almost be sure that she must have encountered something on the way back, or at least thought of something, otherwise she wouldn't be like this. And the greedy and amorous outsider immediately thought that it was his own behavior that made Luweiya have a sense of crisis.

So when it was midnight, he hugged the girl in his arms and told her love words, and apologized for this.

But Luweiya still had her usual attitude:

"I said it, as long as it is helpful to our cause, I don't care. Your influence on the Witch Council is getting deeper and deeper, and your bond with the Red Butterfly twins is also unbreakable. Why apologize to me?"

The bedroom was a bit stuffy because the lights were not turned on. The sound of the cat scratching the door in the closet had long disappeared. Xia De gently stroked her hair:

"Every time you say this, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart."

"But you will still continue to do this, won't you?"

She bit Xia De's neck gently, and then said in his ear:

"What games did you play with that pair of sisters, try it with me too."

"I feel you won't like it."

"What's wrong with trying it? Can they do it and I can't? Knight, is this your loyalty to me?"

So, even if Xia De used "Soul Whipping" with the smallest force, the purple-eyed girl still showed an abnormally severe reaction. After the event, when she curled up in Xia De's arms preparing to sleep, she was still lamenting that witches were indeed mentally abnormal:

"They actually like this kind of thing. I don't deny that it's a bit stimulating, but this is too... how did they come up with this kind of idea?"

After the fiery night ended, Luweiya left early Tuesday morning without even eating breakfast, as if worried about bumping into others.

But in fact, no one else visited Xia De this morning. Priest Augustus and Doctor Schneider were still on the way back, and Captain Rads, who was temporarily transferred back to Tobesk, was also inconvenient to see Xia De recently.

Life seemed to have returned to its original state, and he and the cat ate breakfast alone. When washing the dishes, he was still thinking about whether to go to Green Island to continue organizing those books or go to Huntington City first to get that chess piece.

And Lei Qianya made a third choice for Xia De.

Because of the relationship between Xia De and Miss Miss Jia Lin Na, Lei Qianya could not visit here often by herself, so this morning she let her maid send a letter to Xia De.

So an hour later, Xia De appeared at the racecourse outside the Hou Jue Lemer manor outside the city.

Hou Jue Lemer and Xia De's former client, Mrs. Lemer who inherited property in Coldwater Port, although they had the same surname, they had no relationship. As for that manor and racecourse, together with the Lake View Manor that Xia De was quite familiar with, they surrounded the entire Schluch Lake.

Therefore, the road to the racecourse was the road to the Lake View Manor.

Although it snowed a few days ago, the snowflakes had long melted, and today was another good day. There was no fog outside the city like in the city, and cotton-like clouds floated in the blue sky, making people feel even more refreshed. This sunlight was even a bit dazzling, so Lei Qianya and Ajielina sat under the sunshade in the VIP area at the racecourse.

"Good morning, Xia De."

Since Lei Qianya returned to Tobesk, this was the first time she saw Xia De, but considering this was a public place, she still maintained her restraint.

Her Highness the Princess let Xia De sit on her left, which made Ajielina on Lei Qianya's right a little disappointed.

"Why do you have time to watch horse racing today?"

Xia De asked, holding her left hand. A faint smile appeared on the princess's face, but her right hand still held up the telescope, letting herself look at the situation in the field:

"The things in hand are all handled, of course I have to relax."
