Chapter 1975

~11 min read 2,123 words

The emotions in the emerald green eyes were as sincere as if they could turn into flames and burn Xia De's soul. The abrupt confession made the outsider freeze for a moment. He wanted to respond to Lei Qianya, but was covered by Her Highness the Princess:

"Look at your expression, now I really doubt whether you captured the girls of the Cavendish family, or you were captured by us. Alright, alright, I still have to have dinner with my father and mother in a while. You stay with me for a while, and then return to St. Deran Square. At seven o'clock in the evening, I will remember to send a carriage to pick you up to the opera house."

Lei Qianya's fiery feelings were by no means a joke. Xia De nodded gently:

"Alright, then where to go this time? Delarion King Opera House, Tobesk Grand Opera House, or Maria Queen Opera House?"

While speaking, he hugged Lei Qianya and sat up. Although the latter still wanted to lie down for a while, thinking that there was still time in the evening, she got up with him:

"Delarion King Opera House, there is a good play tonight... what are you looking at?"

She found that Xia De's gaze crossed her shoulder and looked behind. Turning her head, she saw him looking at the map hanging on the study wall.

That was a huge world map, including the Old Continent, the New Continent, and the ocean area. The scale of the map was exceptionally fine, and landmarks and cities were all listed on it. There was even some military stationing information, which could only be found in the Yodel Palace and the army.

"I noticed that you marked the Moon Bay area, and also wrote the date of next month. What does this mean? Oh, if it's not a big deal, you don't have to answer me."

Xia De respected the girls' privacy, so he just asked casually.

As for the Moon Bay area, like Coldwater Port City, it is located on the west coast of the Old Continent. It's just that Coldwater Port is in the north of the Old Continent and belongs to the territory of Delarion, while the Moon Bay area is in the middle of the Old Continent and is the land of the Kassenrick Kingdom.

"Moon Bay area" is quite special. It is an excellent seaport facing north and south. Before the New Continent was discovered and before the order of the entire Old Continent was established, it was a wealthy area on the west coast famous in the Old Continent. The city dominated by big merchants and nobles was even an independent area during the war between Kassenrick and Delarion in the Old Continent.

It's just that later the war between Delarion and Kassenrick finally spread to Moon Bay, and finally Kassenrick agreed to let the nobles of Moon Bay agree to become part of Kassenrick at the cost of Moon Bay area maintaining great autonomy.

Therefore, until now, the Moon Bay area with "Moon Bay City" as the core, although nominally belonging to the Kassenrick United Kingdom, is different from most areas of the Kassenrick Kingdom. It does not belong to any county and is one of the few "special administrative regions" of the United Kingdom.

A few years ago, there was even news that Moon Bay was going to be independent as a duchy, but later this matter was left unsettled... because the Kassenrick ace agent Grey-Headed Eagle assassinated the local big noble who had independent tendencies. This matter is still a taboo that no one dares to mention easily in the Moon Bay area today, and the outsider knows "Moon Bay area" so well because there are many landscape photos of Moon Bay in the landscape photos left by Detective Sparrow Hamilton in the attic at home.

Moon Bay area is named because its appearance is similar to a crescent moon. The area of the entire area is larger than the Green Lake area containing "Green Lake City" and "Mikaela Blast Furnace City". The area has the seaport city "Moon Bay City" as its core and is a large area composed of complex areas such as coastal mountains, forest plains, and swamps.

Wealth, independence, and the pursuit of wealth are the biggest impressions that area gives to outsiders. And the stories left by Detective Sparrow in that place, if organized into books by novelists like Dorothy, could probably be written into huge works like "Moon Bay Legend".

"There is nothing I can't tell you, you know I'm doing some small business."

Her Highness the Princess said nonchalantly, picking up her clothes from the carpet and letting Xia De help her put them on:

"There is a not-so-small batch of goods to be transshipped in Moon Bay next month. And the birthday gift I prepared for you has now been sent to Moon Bay, and it will probably be sent to Tobesk in half a month."

"Birthday gift?"

Xia De looked at Lei Qianya in surprise, and the latter nodded:

"Yes, I asked, well, Dorothy asked Luweiya, she said you treat the day you awakened and met the doctor as your birthday, isn't that a month later? Month of Sunshine, which is June 22nd. Look, today is already the 27th of the Month of Rain-Praying, and there is less than a month left until your birthday."

"But I'm not celebrating my eighteenth birthday, there's no need for me to celebrate my birthday at this age, right?"

Because the outsider didn't know how old this body was, he always thought he was 22 years old. Although almost a year had passed, he showed no signs of aging at all, so he thought he would probably stay at 22 for many years.

"How can this be? This should be your 'first' birthday, of course you have to celebrate it well."

Lei Qianya didn't talk about the "Moon Bay" topic anymore, but kissed Xia De:

"You don't have to do anything, we will arrange it. Speaking of which, you should still remember the gifts the three of us prepared for you during the Year-End Festival."

Xia De nodded. Of course he couldn't forget the night at the end of 1853, the passion of the three female sorcerers.

"This birthday, I am very sure you will get more. Why, don't you want to celebrate your birthday like this?"

Lei Qianya asked with a smile, so the outsider had to admit that he was really persuaded.

The date at the Delarion King Opera House in the evening, besides Lei Qianya, Ajielina was also there. After all, it would look strange if Lei Qianya came to watch the opera alone.

Lei Qianya didn't drive Ajielina away immediately, but really watched the opera with her sister and Xia De.

In the middle, she even went out for half an hour, leaving time for Xia De and Ajielina, which could be considered as showing her generosity as a sister.

And after getting the hint from Lei Qianya that she would not be back for a while, Ajielina moved her position expressionlessly, sat in the place where her sister had just sat, and then took the initiative to hold Xia De's hand.

The two didn't say any extra words. The little princess thought of the scenes she saw through the crack of the closet door that night when she was locked in the closet at the Green Lake Hotel, so she asked a question softly:

"Xia De, the last 'vase appreciation', was interrupted by hateful assassins, do you want to continue?"

Xia De turned to look at her. The little princess, who had just become a female sorcerer, looked at him with a red face, her eyes blinking, and then hugged him with the feeling of revenge for the female sorcerers she saw through the crack of the closet door.

And when Lei Qianya returned with the maids, she also found that Ajielina's lipstick had been reapplied, and Xia De's clothes clearly had traces of being pressed.

She sniffed, didn't smell any strange smell, and knew that Ajielina's courage was indeed not big. She waved her hand to signal that Ajielina could go out. This time, although the little princess was still reluctant to say goodbye to Xia De, her mood when going out to watch the door was good.

"Look, Ajielina is indeed a girl who is easy to understand. She is probably still thanking me in her heart."

Lei Qianya said with a smile, but didn't reach out to Xia De's shirt again, but lay on her side in Xia De's arms:

"Let's watch the opera together, this kind of time alone is really rare."

The passion of the female sorcerers of the Cavendish family made the life after the Battle of Green Lake, which was a bit leisurely, become interesting. But Xia De's entanglement with the ladies of the Cavendish family today didn't stop there. When the carriage sent him back home at night, he actually found that the lights in the house were on.

When Xia De went upstairs, he found that Miss Miss Jia Lin Na had been waiting for him at home with her maids.

"Did you go on a date with Lei Qianya?"

The Duchess said with a smile, and then brought Xia De a piece of good news:

"Tomorrow, which is the whole morning of Wednesday, we are very sure that there will be no one else in the council. Bring the Speaker's hair, Miss Feilianna's notebook, and the 【Poem Card】. Tomorrow morning I will take you to the council. Don't worry about the potions and ceremonies to assist in activating the sublimation language, we will solve it. At that time, to prevent interfering with you, we will not accompany you in the council. You know how to exit the council yourself."

This was indeed good news. The fact that he might be able to see Miss Feilianna again tomorrow made Xia De unable to help but show a smile.

"In my opinion, the relationship between you and the founder of your academy is definitely not as simple as teacher and student."

The witch teased, letting Tifa step back, and she walked over to take off Xia De's coat herself.

However, she sniffed while holding the coat:

"Not only is there the strong perfume smell of Lei Qianya, but also the perfume smell of Ajielina. Xia De, you are really the nemesis of the female sorcerers of the Cavendish family."

"I feel you treat me as a public lover."

"Does this count as a complaint?"

She still had a smile on her face:

"Complaining now is a bit late. The treasures taken by the princesses of the royal family will not be easily let go. Tifa~ you and other maids go to the first floor to rest. No matter what sound you hear, don't come up. Oh, don't forget to take Xia De's cat down."

Saying this, she held Xia De's hand.

But the price of not letting the maids go upstairs under any circumstances was that when Megan walked out of the basement after ten o'clock in the evening, the maids could not inform the Duchess of this matter in the first time.

As for the angry and surprised screams that came from upstairs later, and words such as "What are you two doing?!", "Oh, Megan, leave quickly, what are you doing here?", "Miss Jia Lin Na, you are actually still moving!", "Don't lift the quilt, oh, I said don't lift it!", the maids heard it clearly on the first floor.

It's just that they didn't see any witch go downstairs for a long time, and the sound of the two archmages arguing disappeared after the owner of the house spoke and a series of messy sounds and collisions.

Concentrating on listening to the sound on the first floor, the maids who were ready to go upstairs to help their mistress at any time soon heard the sound coming from upstairs again. It was a sound that made people at a loss for what to do, which had lasted for more than an hour.

Seeing that Mr. Hamilton had already made the two archmages get along well, they also knew that they would not have the chance to go upstairs.

The maids dispersed one after another. The first floor of Xia De's house was very large, enough for more than a dozen girls to sleep. But someone still asked the black-haired maid chief worriedly:

"Tifa, is Mr. Hamilton okay? After all, they are two archmages."

The maid chief shook her head. No one could understand the look in her eyes when she looked upstairs.
