Chapter 2137: The Departing Elf

"This is the story Fiona told? But how does it sound like a story dragons tell to scare their children?"

Xia De asked, and Helen nodded:

"Yes, at that time, most of the Dragonborn witches in the academy also thought this story was just a story. But Miss Delage later told us that such a sword indeed exists. In fact, the 'Sword of Light' left behind by the Dragon God is also a Dragon-Slaying Sword, a weapon created by the Ancient Gods to prevent the dragon race from threatening the world with their own powerful strength. Everyone admits that in terms of individual strength alone, dragons are the most powerful race in the mortal world... Angels and Titans are not mortal races."

As she spoke, she sat on the sofa, shaking her legs wrapped in black lace stockings under her skirt, her small black leather shoes hanging from her toes, swaying with her legs:

"Of course, the Ancient Gods were very thoughtful. Since that sword restrains dragons, to prevent someone from wielding it to harm the dragon race, only a truly righteous person can use that sword."

"Did Fiona mention where that sword is?"

Xia De thought for a moment and asked again, but the twin sisters both shook their heads:

"In the eyes of the witches in the mid-Fifth Era, that sword was already something in legends and stories. Moreover, Miss Fiona Delage was an illegitimate daughter and was not valued at the time, so she left the Dragon Capital after her mother died; she didn't know much. She only told us at the time that this sword indeed existed and had even appeared many times in history.

Oh, Sir, just as we in the Sixth Era are sighing that the stories of the early Second Era are so distant, in fact, for Miss Delage, Miss Feilian, and our teacher five or six thousand years ago, the stories of the Second Era were equally distant."

Grace looked at the lights outside the window, her voice very light:

"The wind of time makes stories fly from the past to the present like fallen leaves. And when we reach out to catch that leaf, no matter how blankly we look around, we can no longer know the story of the tree."

Until he returned home, Grace's words still echoed in Xia De's ears. Because he was a bit distracted, when Xia De picked up Little Mia who came to welcome him, he carelessly forgot to stroke the cat's head after picking her up, which made Little Mia very unhappy.

And after returning from the third floor to the second floor, Angelina, who was talking to Emilia, eyes lit up, stood up from the sofa and said:

"Good evening, Xia De. Have you eaten? My sister and I brought the maid over."

Since Angelina and Lei Qianya had taken the elven girl around the city and outside the city all day today, Lei Qianya wouldn't just leave after sending Emilia back in the evening.

Therefore, at this moment, not only Angelina but also Lei Qianya was here. Hearing the voice, the Princess walked out of the study. Emilia originally didn't know the relationship between Xia De and Lei Qianya Cavendish; seeing that outstanding Princess helping Xia De take off his coat and jokingly saying he had the perfume of another girl on him, the innocent elf was immediately shocked again.

Xia De went to the washroom to freshen up, while Lei Qianya took the maid to prepare some late-night snacks for Xia De. Emilia and Angelina remained in the living room, and the elven girl couldn't help but ask the little princess:

"Your sister and Xia De are..."

The latter nodded while holding a teacup:

"Yes, that kind of relationship."

"But your great-aunt, that Lady Duchess, and Xia De aren't also..."

Emilia stopped mid-sentence, and Angelina blinked:

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The elven girl was greatly surprised, but then thought of the few days she had spent the night here, it seemed that different girls stayed here every day:

"Isn't this a bit too, too, too unhealthy?"

"Emilia, this is where you don't understand."

The seventeen-year-old girl placed her hand on the shoulder of the fifty-something elf:

"The Cavendish royal family has many descendants. Even now, there are already three digits of recognized princesses, princes, and messy relatives I can't recognize. Growing up in such a family..."

Worried about being heard by Xia De, she lowered her voice a little:

"You have to know that if you want something, you must fight for it. My sister and great-aunt are typical people like this, which is why great-aunt can have such power, and why my sister is almost the most outstanding among the princesses of our generation."

Although she was always "bullied" by Lei Qianya, Angelina actually admired her:

"Love is war, Emilia; you'll only understand when you grow up."

After all, the human tradition of this era is to become an adult at sixteen; Angelina was already an adult and qualified to say this to an underage elf.

Emilia nodded as if she understood, and Angelina then asked "casually":

"Speaking of which, you shouldn't have any ideas about Xia De, right?"

The young elf, as if frightened, shook her head immediately. Angelina was relieved, not knowing that the elven girl in front of her, although not yet mature, was someone who dared to run out of school in violation of rules many times. Although she would be frightened when facing high-level relics, lying was not a problem at all.

Lei Qianya and Angelina indeed stayed that night without leaving. Lei Qianya and Xia De rested in the master bedroom, while Angelina took the initiative to suggest sleeping in the guest room with Emilia. Xia De certainly didn't know what the little princess and the elven girl talked about at night, but it was clear that they really hit it off.

So early Thursday morning, four people sat at the dining table at No. 6 St. Deran Square. Xia De realized that since Monday, the breakfast table was no longer just him and the cat. Of course, he didn't dislike this scene of having many people in the house.

During breakfast, Angelina wanted to invite Emilia to go horse riding outside the city again, while Xia De made a request to Emilia:

"Can you give me a few more bottles of the secret medicine that helped me recover into human form last time?"

He was too embarrassed to ask for the formula, and even if he got such an ancient formula, he was afraid it wouldn't be easy to make.

"Do you still want to turn into a dragon?"

The pointed-eared elf asked in surprise while holding bread. Angelina had heard about this from Lei Qianya before, so she wasn't very surprised. Lei Qianya frowned and looked at Xia De; although she wanted to use her own body to hug Xia De the cat, she didn't want Xia De to be unable to change back.

"Don't worry, I consulted two Transfiguration masters yesterday afternoon. They said it's best not to use this miracle again in the near future, but it wouldn't be a big problem if I did, just that I might not be able to change back again. You know, I have things to do out of town recently, so I might need to use the power of Transfiguration again."

Xia De explained, but he still didn't mention to Emilia that he was in Moon Bay. This wasn't to guard against Emilia, but just worried that the elven girl would develop unnecessary curiosity.

Xia De had nothing to do today. Mr. Bernhardt's investigation of his own kind couldn't be completed so quickly, and the witches needed time to collect information and perform divination on the blood-sucking monster. Xia De only needed to remember to accompany the witch to the banquet in the evening, so he planned to go to Coldwater Port in the morning and then fulfill his promise to accompany Emilia around the city.

But just after breakfast, the door downstairs was knocked. After going downstairs to open the door, he saw Mr. Rio Enshir and Miss Matila Delas standing outside, Emilia's two teammates.

"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton, sorry to disturb you so early."

Mr. Enshir said, handing a letter to Xia De:

"The academy's arrangement for us has come down. This is the letter that was just sent yesterday evening. It didn't go through the poetic manuscript page this time, so there's no chance for us to refute it."

Xia De held the letter and wanted to invite them upstairs to sit for a while:

"Have you had breakfast? We are just eating."

Miss Delas shook her head and refused, pointing to the letter:

"We won't go up. It's better for you to tell Emilia about this; we are worried she won't be able to take it. We'll go back to pack our luggage now; the train tickets are also in the envelope. See you at the train station in the evening... Comfort Emilia; she will probably be very disappointed."

They said goodbye politely and left. Hearing them say this, Xia De guessed the academy's arrangement for Emilia and her group. Although he also knew the elven girl would be very disappointed, it was normal for the academy to arrange it this way; after all, safety was the most important thing.

When Xia De returned upstairs, the elven girl who was talking to the little princess didn't know what news Xia De had brought back.

When Xia De hesitated and said "The academy's arrangement for you has come down" and waved the letter in his hand, Emilia was stunned for a moment, then saw the hesitant expression on Xia De's face, and the whole elf felt bad immediately.

She pretended to be strong and opened the letter under the gaze of Xia De and Angelina, pursed her lips and read it quickly, then her eyes turned red, and she pretended to be strong again and said to Xia De:

"Thank you for letting me stay here these past few days."

"I'll take you to the train station in the evening."

As soon as Xia De's words came out, the elven girl finally couldn't help but sob in his arms; she really didn't want to leave here.

Lei Qianya stood at the entrance of the dining room, hugging her chest and watching this scene. Angelina was a little unhappy, but thinking that her new friend probably wouldn't have a chance to come to Tobesk again, she felt sad for her.

So the Princess picked up the letter paper that fell on the ground and looked at it, then said suspiciously:

"Emilia, St. Byrons isn't arranging for you to return to school, just letting you leave Tobesk first, and then deciding on other projects for summer off-campus practice in other cities."

"Yes, but I don't want to leave here."

The pointed-eared elf with red eyes raised her head from Xia De's arms, her pitiful appearance was a bit funny:

"Other places aren't as interesting as Tobesk, there's no Xia De who can take such good care of me, no friends like you, no comfortable rooms like here, no dangerous and interesting things, and even less a cat as cute as Little Mia." ===== CHAPTER 2138 =====
