Chapter 2061: Moon, Dream, and Home

This sleep was exceptionally reassuring for Bella Miss Beiya, and this sleep was exceptionally long and strange. She seemed to have dreamed of something, and seemed to have dreamed of nothing.

Waking up after being startled by a pair of purple eyes that suddenly appeared, she realized that her body was constantly shaking and felt the wind blowing on her. The blonde witch then discovered that she was lying in Xia De's arms, and the group was already on the way back to the city.

Her clothes had been changed, and she even had a hooded cloak to avoid the cold. She was sitting sideways in front of Xia De at this moment, held by Xia De with one hand, and the clothes on her body and the person in front of her were providing warmth.

Xia De also noticed Miss Miss Beiya wake up, and his voice came from the wind:

"Are you awake? The treatment was very successful. We saw you were asleep and didn't wake you up. Please don't move your right shoulder for the time being. We didn't encounter any attacks, and we will arrive at St. George's Stone Bridge soon. If you want to sleep, you can sleep for a while longer."

She felt it. The "non-existence" feeling on her face and right shoulder had disappeared. Although the flow of spirit in her body and soul was still a bit stagnant, the four elements had barely returned to balance.

"Mmm."

Nodding lightly in Xia De's arms, the exhausted witch did not "blame" Xia De for his rudeness at this moment, but hugged the arm that had originally held her for some reason, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms again.

By the time Miss Miss Beiya woke up again, it was already the familiar ceiling in front of her:

"Miss Beiya Manor... we're back already."

This was her own bedroom. After waking up, she felt that she seemed to have fully recovered to normal. It was still night outside, and the maids who came after hearing the sound were asked by the countess to prepare tea and late-night snacks:

"What time is it?"

She leaned on the head of the bed, somewhat dazed, and then realized that she had changed into pajamas.

"Ten o'clock. Miss, we returned an hour ago."

Miss Jia Lin Na answered.

"Where is he?"

Although the name was not mentioned, the blonde maid knew who she was asking about, and said with lowered eyes:

"That gentleman left after returning to the manor with us. He left the potion formula and will bring that artifact back tomorrow morning. The rare materials like 【Moonlight Water】, 【Sun Fire】, 【Polar Day Light】 needed to concoct the potion were not sufficiently stocked in the manor, and the gentleman also said he would bring them."

"Mmm."

She made a sound from her nose, nodded lightly, and then tilted her head to look at the lotus-mouth-shaped gas desk lamp on the bedside table:

"Jia Lin Na, was I very indecorous tonight?"

Only when facing her apprentice would the witch ask such a question.

Although the maid lady thought that the events of tonight could no longer be described as "very indecorous," she still answered:

"If this was your own choice, then it does not count as indecorous."

The body under the velvet quilt curled up, and she reached out to cover her face with both hands. Afterward, she looked down at her shoulder under the pink pajamas. The snow-white shoulder had no scars, but the shoulder still emitted a faint light. This did not look strange at all, but instead made the countess herself feel alluring.

"Miss, when the treatment just ended, your whole body was emitting the light of the silver moon. The light only gradually faded when returning to the city. Now only the shoulder and the cheek still have faint light, but that gentleman said it will disappear tomorrow."

So the witch reached out to touch the divination cards on the bedside table without saying a word, drew the first one, and it was indeed "Moon":

"Silver moonlight..."

A somewhat hoarse voice asked suddenly:

"Jia Lin Na, do you think John Watson could be the 'God Caller'?"

The blonde maid looked at the witch's golden eyes in confusion, and shook her head:

"The moonlight tonight was indeed beautiful, but he is seven-ring."

"Yes, seven-ring."

The witch curled up on the bed also repeated, her eyes dazed, as if she could still see the moonlight in the forest:

"If he were the God Caller, many strange things that have happened so far could have many strange explanations."

She pursed her lips, her left hand stroking her right cheek:

"I feel like I am becoming strange, Jia Lin Na."

"Miss, you need to rest."

"Yes, I need to rest... But what if I see that silver moon again in my dream?"

The loyal maid still looked at the ground with lowered eyes, and the mournful countess looked at her. 【206

"Miss, perhaps meeting in the dream was not a mistake. Tomorrow, that silver moon will visit you again. No matter what decision you make... give him some other tasks, put him to the test, and see what kind of person he truly is."

The blonde lady on the bed nodded, leaned against the headboard, closed her eyes, and said nothing more. The blonde maid whispered her excuses, left the room, and called out to the maids in the hallway to prepare hot water and fresh pajamas for her mistress's upcoming wash.

The bedroom on the third floor of the manor had its curtains undrawn, yet the moon could not be clearly seen in the city's night. Suddenly, those golden eyes opened once more, turned toward the window, and then, as if pitying herself, she spoke to her own reflection on the glass:

"Vanessa, you really played a huge joke on me this time."

Her palm shifted to her shoulder:

"Is that man's encounter with us truly a choice of fate?"

(Little Mia is running...)

One hour ago, Dera-Tobesk City, No. 6 St. Deran Plaza.

"Oh, finally back."

After confirming that the tooth marks on his neck had completely vanished, the cautious outlander walked from the second-floor hallway into the room. The red-haired princess, who was reading a book on the sofa with her younger sister while wearing a nightgown, looked up. Seeing Xia De had returned, she smiled, stood up, and walked over to take off his coat:

"Still have to go out to do things at night; the witches in the Moon Bay region are really too impolite."

After getting close to Xia De, she sniffed lightly and, as expected, caught the scent of unfamiliar perfume. But she was more concerned about the smell of blood. As she handed the coat to the maid, a hint of worry appeared in Lei Lei Qianya's eyes:

"Are you hurt?"

"It's already healed. I'm already a Seventh-Ring, how many people in the Moon Bay region can be my match? Lei Lei Qianya, you'd never guess, we actually encountered a werewolf tonight; that's a very rare creature. Also, we encountered a strange light that could almost melt everything. A local witch got hit while trying to protect her apprentice, but fortunately, she's fine."

Holding Lei Lei Qianya's hand, he walked toward the sofa, where Jia Lin Na also put down her book and greeted Xia De sweetly. The cat lying on the back of the sofa stood up and gave Xia De a rather disdainful "Meow~"; Xia De knew the cat was dissatisfied with the scent on him.

"If that's the case, using the power of space to cut through space could repel those lights. The propagation of light has spatial continuity, as mentioned in the notes Miss Sylvia gave us... If only we could go to Moon Bay to help you."

Lei Lei Qianya pursed her lips, but what she heard was Xia De's apology:

"I'm really sorry, you finally had time to leave the Yodel Palace to see me, and yet I still have to go out at night."

But the red-haired princess didn't mind, her emerald eyes looking at him:

"What are you saying? Isn't this night just beginning?"

The maid brought a new teacup, Jia Lin Na took it and poured the tea herself, and Lei Lei Qianya continued softly:

"If you feel tired, just rest tonight. I'm already very happy just to see you."

Jia Lin Na's ears twitched, a movement identical to Little Mia, who seemed to understand the conversation. It was just that the little princess was guessing where her sister would sleep, while the cat was guessing where it would sleep.

"Tired? Lei Lei Qianya, are you underestimating me?"

Xia De asked with a smile, and the princess was finally reassured, knowing that although he was injured tonight, it shouldn't be anything serious.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, then she reached out toward Xia De's collar and smilingly pulled out a long golden hair.

The maids kept their mouths shut, not daring to speak, while Jia Lin Na stared wide-eyed at her sister. Xia De immediately realized this must be Miss Belinder's hair. This scene was naturally awkward; Lei Lei Qianya wasn't scolding Xia De, just wanting to play a little joke, and was about to tease him by saying, "Compared to red hair, you really do prefer golden hair like Dorothy's," but she didn't expect Xia De to reach out, gently snap off one of her hairs, and place that red hair on his own collar.

The princess threw away the hair in her hand and patted him with a smile:

"Really, don't pull my hair like that, it's very impolite."

Even Jia Lin Na could see her joy at this moment.

"Go take a bath, look at the state you're in. I've already had the maids prepare hot water; the steam pipe system is truly the greatest invention of this era."

She gave Xia De a little push. Xia De picked up the teacup, stood up with a smile, and was about to go take a bath after a sip of tea, when he heard Lei Lei Qianya say to her maids and sister:

"After you finish your work, go downstairs to rest. Jia Lin Na, look after Little Mia tonight."

"Sister, I don't want to stay downstairs, let me and Little Mia stay in the side bedroom."

The little princess said, but Lei Lei Qianya shook her head regretfully:

"That won't do, I want to try the study tonight. Since the princess has finally left the palace to meet her knight in private, she naturally wants to have a good time. Ever since Xia De's birthday last month, he hasn't touched me at all."

She looked at Jia Lin Na, and the little princess actually saw a threatening look in that soft and mournful expression:

"Understood..."

"Ahem."

Xia De had originally wanted to take advantage of the night not being too deep to go to the new room on the third floor or Green Island to try the "two-handed charging" moonlight wheel mentioned by Miss Isabella. But hearing the tone of Lei Lei Qianya and Jia Lin Na's conversation, he finally decided that resting a little tonight wouldn't be bad either.

So Lei Lei Qianya took the maids to the bedroom to tidy up, while the other maids prepared breakfast ingredients in the kitchen. The seventeen-year-old princess pouted, feeling a bit unhappy, but looking down, she saw the teacup Xia De had just sipped from right in front of her.

Her eyes widened slightly, she looked cautiously left and right, leaned back, but her right hand lifted slightly in a gesture to take something.

"Meow~"

Suddenly hearing the cat's cry, she turned to see Little Mia standing on the sofa, looking at her with bright, alert eyes.

"Oh, Jia Lin Na."

The princess immediately patted her own face, questioning in her heart how she could have had such a strange thought just now:

"This is so embarrassing, I am a Cavendish princess."

Thinking this, she picked up the teacup with a very natural movement and took a sip.
