Chapter 2220

It was still raining outside, but there was a canopy above the train station platform. Even so, when the train stopped steadily on the platform, the thick steam mist emerging from the bottom of the carriage still had a damp chill that was not present on ordinary days.

Count Belindell, Count Eddington, and Count Hawthorne walked to the front to greet them, and the red carpet had already been laid at the carriage entrance. As the carriage door opened amidst the sound of metal friction and the movement of the transmission rod, the guards who came out first quickly laid the metal plate used for stepping on the gap between the carriage and the platform.

The band began to play, and the royal maid walked out, opening an umbrella and standing on the side of the carriage to block the rain from above the carriage door.

While people were applauding enthusiastically and reporters were quickly pressing the shooting buttons, Her Highness Margaret Anjou, wearing a golden long dress with a brown coat, her golden long hair coiled behind her head, with a cold expression and dressed quite elegantly and luxuriously, walked out of the carriage.

The smoke from the burning magnesium strips mixed with the steam mist, making this scene look hazy, and the swaying hats and waving arms also made the chaotic background even more strange.

The photo recorded the beautiful face of Princess Margaret standing outside the carriage door, but more people noticed that when facing the three counts, she reached out her hand to Countess Belindell first.

This might be a courtesy, but it would also make people think of more than one layer of political meaning.

"Your Highness, welcome to Moon Bay City."

Holding Margaret's silk-gloved hand, the Great Witch of Fate greeted her softly, and the princess also responded appropriately in Kassenrik with a slight Willendale accent. Their eyes met, and the apprentice of the Great Witch of Earth nodded slightly to this official Great Witch.

And Miss Belindell did not care about this, because the lazy voice of Miss Bernice, who had not yet appeared in the carriage, had already emerged in her mind:

"Bella, train travel is really boring. We won't see you at the train station. After sending Margaret to the mansion in a while, we will go to your place together."

This was Margaret's first day arriving locally. There would be no formal welcome banquet today, and she would not even keep the local nobles for dinner. The princess's itinerary had been arranged from the beginning, and she had indeed come here with a mission.

Moon Bay City had not hosted royal members for four or five years, but the reception process was very appropriate. Of course, the key to this was that although the nobles of the City of Wealth did not accept the Anjou royal family of Willendale in their mouths, they also wanted to try their best to show off their own wealth. This was a kind of showing off, as well as some pathetic desire to be recognized.

In short, after the welcome ceremony at the train station, Margaret gave a short speech before taking a carriage to the Margaret Manor where she was staying this time.

Although this manor was royal property, it was actually Margaret's private property. The manor was purchased during the generation of Margaret's grandfather, and later, to commemorate Margaret's birth, the name of the manor was changed from "Hundred Flowers Manor" to her name, which was actually treating this manor as her birthday gift.

Of course, due to the subtle relationship between Moon Bay City and the royal capital, Margaret had never been here before today. The manor had been left idle for many years, but because it did not have very unique historical or commemorative value, the manor would occasionally be rented out for large banquets or grand weddings.

Therefore, it was very well maintained, and the Margaret Manor located in the west of the city was about a fifteen-minute carriage ride from the Belindell Manor.

The princess and her party, who had come from afar, were exhausted from the journey and needed to rest this afternoon, so only the princess's spokesperson and the accompanying civil servants were arranged to be interviewed, and Princess Margaret herself would not appear in the public eye.

She brought a group of maids (witch followers in disguise) with her, and did not need extra arrangements from the seven local families. Therefore, after coming to Margaret Manor for a slight exchange of pleasantries, the nobles left one after another. On Monday tomorrow, Margaret would meet some important people here, and the grand welcome banquet would be held on Tuesday night.

Everyone left the reception room, and Margaret let out a long sigh, leaning against the soft sofa back and closing her eyes for a while. Then the maid knocked gently on the door, and she stood up, leaving the manor from the back door with only one of her personal maids.

The carriage team was already waiting there, and Margaret entered the carriage in the middle alone, and greeted the three ladies in the carriage one by one:

"Teacher Bernice, Teacher Sylvia, Miss Belindell."

The three Great Witches sitting in the carriage nodded respectively. After Margaret sat down, Miss Belindell looked at the Margaret Manor under the gloomy sky through the carriage window again:

"Is it okay for Margaret to leave with us now? There should still be things here that need her to deal with."

"Siris borrowed the most real memories to transform into her appearance, helping to substitute for a while, it will be fine."

Miss Bernice said, and at this time the carriage also started slowly, leaving here from the side door of the manor's backyard.

The blonde opera singer looked at the street scene of Moon Bay from the carriage window with interest, while the young black-haired witch asked the local countess with a smile:

"In the morning, around ten-thirty, what was the situation in Moon Bay?"

"You already know?"

Miss Belindell was very surprised, and Miss Bernice turned her head and smiled:

"At that time we had already entered the Moon Bay area, and we were actually not far from Moon Bay City. Sylvia didn't perceive it very clearly, but I felt a very strong fluctuation of elements. What happened in the morning? I see that the people in the city are living normally, and it doesn't look like they have just experienced a major event."

Pedestrians outside the window walked in the rainy Sunday afternoon with umbrellas, and would take the initiative to avoid the carriage team. Even in rainy weather, the prosperous civic economy could be seen from the street scene, and this place was indeed different from other cities.

"This matter is complicated to explain, it is probably..."

The countess thought for a while, facing three pairs of curious eyes, and summarized the key points slightly:

"That man's friend was entangled by the ancient evil spirit demon of misfortune - Fannalius. He dealt with this matter at the Belindell Big Ben this morning, and ended up attracting an angel-level relic. Later, I don't know how, his friend who was entangled by the demon's curse pulled out the divine sword of light left by the Ancient God - Dragon of Radiance, and then they defeated and expelled that ancient evil spirit together."

"Ancient evil spirit demon?"

"Angel-level relic?"

"Sword of Light?"

The three had their own different questions, and Miss Belindell also knew that this matter was not easy to explain. Although the process was not complicated, there were too many unexpected things in the middle:

"When you get to the manor, go ask him yourself, he is still there taking care of his friend. Oh, speaking of which, Galina's maid group also arrived this morning. I don't know what Galina was thinking, she actually sent her niece who had just reached the First Tier. So it is so good that the Cavendish family has many descendants. I heard that their family now has another female sorcerer?

Oh, look, there are more people, the base has increased, and even the number of awakened people has increased."

But Miss Bernice and Miss Sylvia did not care about this:

"You mentioned the matter of the Sword of Light in the council. So, the Chosen One of Light has already appeared? Did we come late?"

The countess shook her head quickly:

"Of course not, pulling the sword is only part of the ritual requirements, and also the most difficult part. She only completed pulling the sword, and none of the other ritual requirements were completed... This is what he told me, and he also said, that girl is a pure-blood High Elf, how could she become the Chosen One of Light and Dragon?"

Miss Bernice and Miss Sylvia looked at each other, getting more confused as they listened. They didn't know about Emilia, let alone how another pure-blood High Elf appeared beside Xia De.

Margaret asked in a low voice:

"So, is he okay?"

The carriage became quiet all of a sudden, and the three witches watched each other without speaking immediately. They tacitly didn't mention Xia De himself just now, just thinking that when they arrived at the manor, they would let Xia De explain everything himself.

In Miss Belindell's view, the relationship between Xia De and the two colleagues in front of her was indeed unusual, and in the view of Miss Bernice and Miss Sylvia, Xia De had indeed already "eliminated" the possible threat.

But it was clear that Margaret did not understand this layer of meaning at the first time, but when her words were spoken, she immediately understood. The princess, knowing she had said the wrong thing, also closed her mouth. The carriage was quiet for a while, before Miss Sylvia asked a question that made the countess a little puzzled:

"You just said, you left him alone with that apprentice of Galina's?"

"Yes, is there any problem?"

The carriage team soon returned to Belindell Manor in the rain. On the way, the witches did not mention Xia De again, and Miss Bernice just asked about the dynamics of the church in the city. But because of Yin Luna's existence, the church certainly couldn't find here yet, but at least they had basically solved the thing under the Belindell Big Ben.

Like the doctor, when the Sword of Light appeared with golden lightning and dragon roars, the 【Corpse in the Wall】 was also affected, and the situation was more serious than the doctor's.

"Welcome to my home, Vanessa, the last time you came here was seven years ago. Sylvia, when you last came to my place, you were just a witch apprentice."

In the foyer of the manor mansion, the blonde countess warmly welcomed the two witches, and then said to Margaret:

"Your Highness, today you are just a witch apprentice here, so I won't do too much welcoming."

"Of course."

The princess nodded, then followed behind Miss Bernice and stopped talking.
