Chapter 2239

Until 11:30 that noon, the Countess brought Miss Matilda and a group of maids back. Xia De was still in the study discussing the current situation in Moon Bay and the next plan with the girls.

When Bella Belindel walked into her study and saw Xia De sitting on her sofa surrounded by a circle of girls, she immediately felt empty in her heart, as if she had lost something.

"Miss Belindel, sit here; we just talked about Margaret's welcome banquet tomorrow night."

Xia De patted the seat beside him. Miss Bernice then stood up with a smile and gave up the seat for her. Only then did the Countess nod with feigned reserve.

The news that Emilia could stay until the end of the Moon Bay incident also made Miss Belindel very happy. Besides the reason for the unicorn, she also really liked Emilia.

Everyone had lunch together at 12:00 sharp. After lunch, Yiluna, Miss Bernice, and Miss Sylvia left one after another; they all had their own things to deal with.

Xia De certainly did not leave. In fact, after sending Miss Sylvia away, the Countess grabbed Xia De's sleeve aggressively and pulled him all the way to the study upstairs:

"Xia De Hamilton, right?"

There was no chance to be alone yesterday afternoon, and Xia De left in the evening, so she couldn't find a chance to talk to Xia De about these things alone. In the presence of others, there were some things she couldn't say.

And when the Great Witch of Destiny spoke at this time, even if Xia De couldn't divine, he could imagine how she had tossed and turned last night, thinking about how to ask Xia De about these things today.

So, facing the lady in front of him, Xia De decided to answer her in the simplest way.

After the Countess's symbolic struggle, he opened his arms and hugged Bella Belindel. The latter then pursed her lips and placed her head on Xia De's shoulder. The two were silent for a while before she spoke:

"You said in advance that I might be angry; actually, I have nothing to be angry about. You said from the beginning that there were other girls around you, so except for hiding the fact that you actually have several witch lovers, you didn't lie to me."

"Yesterday..."

"Vanessa and Emma stayed overnight, and they told me most of your things."

She hummed through her nose, trying to make herself use a sarcastic tone:

"Galina, Emma, Vanessa, Megan and Audrey, plus Siris, plus me, you have charmed 6 Great Witches in total, right?

I heard that your relationship with Granny Cassandra is also quite good. I didn't expect the council to be corrupted by you for more than half. I, the Great Witch of Destiny who is responsible for protecting secrets and safety in the council, didn't notice it at all."

Xia De couldn't deny this. He wanted to express his apologies again; after all, this was indeed his fault, but the lady he was holding said:

"Speaking of which, I'm actually quite happy. After all, from the current situation, there is no need to be afraid. Our number has exceeded half. But..."

She took a deep breath:

"Since you chose this path, Xia De, you cannot hesitate or turn back. Emma told me a lot, and I also know what you have been doing all along."

Gently pushing Xia De away, the two looked at each other at close range:

"The night you turned into a dragon half a month ago, although I knew you were a God-Caller, I didn't know what your attitude toward the Whispering Chapter and the Chosen One was. Now I understand what you are going to do. This is a difficult road, but at least so far, you have done quite well."

"It's not just me; there are many people around me helping."

"Yes."

The golden eyes continued to look at him:

"So, I said, you have no chance to turn back. You made a choice off-stage about the performance of the drama on stage; you cannot turn back time and regret your decision.

If I were the first witch you met, I might not be so generous. But now, go master our council, go master the most secret and ancient organization in this world. Xia De, you can only walk along this road, and then lead us to witness the end of fate, the end of fate..."

Leaning forward slightly, she touched Xia De's lips shallowly with her lips, and then showed a smile:

"Hamilton of Lei Jiede, the famous detective of Tobesk, the champion with seven 【Founding】 series Rhode cards in his hand, the winner of the Ring City Equestrian Competition, and... my lover."

Her eyes opened slightly, and her eyelashes trembled:

"How did I not think of it before? Besides Xia De Suren Hamilton, who else could you be? It's really interesting. Before getting the answer, I never thought you would be that Duchess's lover. But this is not reasonable. As an ordinary person, isn't Xia De Hamilton a bit too special?"

"Hmm... this is also one of the singularities on me. I have been committed to finding the secrets of myself that even I don't know."

"Suren."

She suddenly lowered her voice and said softly.

"Hmm?"

Xia De blinked:

"Is this calling my middle name? No one has ever called me that; I prefer you to call me 'Xia De'."

She smiled:

"I am a professional diviner. Even if your fate is hidden at the bottom of the world, I can still touch its trajectory. Suren, moon, bright moonlight; some people even say this is the name used by the oldest Moon God when walking in the mortal world."

Xia De raised an eyebrow, actually listening to the voice in his ear, but he heard nothing.

And the witch reached out and touched his shoulder:

"If our world is an adventure story with you as the protagonist, then I only officially joined the team when this book was halfway through."

"But the protagonist of the 'Whispering Chapter' is Yiluna Beias; you have met her."

Xia De corrected in a low voice.

"Yes, a young girl as dazzling as the sun, with the qualifications to be favored by fate that none of us possess, with the courage and strength to move forward... but for me, Xia De, you are my protagonist."

The words that were almost a deep confession made Xia De almost suffocate, so he really suffocated. The passionate kiss seemed to carry the taste of wine. The Great Witch of Destiny officially gave her answer at this time:

"Xia De, because of feelings, because of responsibility, and also because of my mission, I will become your arm and your sword like them. But please, lead me to witness the legend of the Chosen One, to witness the last epic of the Sixth Era."

"Yes, my Earl."

"Then please continue to kiss me... someone else's knight."

"Hmm?"

"That's interesting. Anyway, Galina is not here. Focus, don't think of others at such a time."

Witches seem to have this strange hobby.

"Is this comforted?"

Not long after, when Xia De met Dorothy in the corridor, the blonde writer lady asked teasingly.

Xia De looked at her expression:

"Dorothy, don't make fun of me. Speaking of which, I plan to go back in the evening; let's go together then. Do you need me to help pack your luggage?"

"No need, I didn't bring too many things. Princess Lei Qianya specifically told me to tell Angelina to take care of herself; I want to accompany her in the afternoon."

The writer lady didn't talk about Belindel anymore. Compared to that witch, she cared more about her sister:

"But I see Angelina is very happy now; she is with that elf lady. I think she treats this as a vacation completely."

"I really hope she can always feel the atmosphere of a vacation, but the storm will come sooner or later... I am going to see a vampire friend in the afternoon; do you want to come together?"

Dorothy shook her head and flicked the hair hanging by her ear:

"You go yourself. Although I really want to go with you, Angelina probably needs me more.

Besides asking me to take care of her, Princess Lei Qianya also asked me to flip through her suitcase and bring back the 'contraband.' But I am not a cruel sister like Princess Lei Qianya; I will leave half for Angelina, as long as it is not too excessive.

Girls at this age should have some of their own little secrets; Princess Lei Qianya is sometimes really too strict."

Xia De did not know what kind of contraband Angelina could have.

"Go home after dinner... Xia De, come pick me up at eight; Princess Lei Qianya and I want to spend the rest of today with Angelina."

Before leaving the manor, Xia De went to see Tifa again. Recently, there have been more and more things in Moon Bay. Miss Belindel has to consider the responsibilities brought by the Earl's identity and take care of the investigation of the Chosen One, so the manpower is already tight. The arrival of the Northern maid group just solved her urgent need.

Of course, she couldn't let Tifa and the others participate in the political activities of Moon Bay City like Miss Matilda, but besides that, there were many things about the Chosen One investigation.

She also knew that Tifa was the most outstanding one among the witch apprentices of this generation in all aspects, so she gave Tifa corresponding power in the manor.

When Xia De found them in the alchemy workshop in the basement this afternoon, the Northern maid group and the maids in the manor were preparing to strengthen the manor.

"Miss Belindel said that she was inspired by the report after the Battle of Green Lake and wanted to build this manor into a stronghold or even a battle fortress. Even if it is not used, at least it must be ensured that abnormal light or filthy earth will not appear within the scope of the manor."

The maids continued to work. In addition to preparing for strengthening the manor, they were also making more potions and alchemy props that might be used. Potions have an expiration date, so some things can only be prepared temporarily.

Tifa stood aside and chatted with Xia De alone. The black-haired maid chief with a very good figure was still heroic even after arriving in Moon Bay City. The black-brown eyes looked at Xia De with a smile, and the high bridge of the nose was very fair, making Xia De want to... he looked away with a slightly red face, and the smile on Tifa's face became more obvious:

"Earl Belindel has arranged our accommodation; the conditions here are very good. Xia De, if you need us to do anything, please feel free to order... anything is fine."
