Chapter 2254: Heart Curse

"Bella, you can think about profound questions like worldviews here. Margaret, stay here and chat with our countess, it's my turn next."

Miss Bernice instructed, flicked her hair, and stood up.

"Yes, teacher."

The satisfied princess said with a smile, then watched the Witch of the Earth take Xia De's hand and go to the dance floor again.

After Miss Bernice, Xia De invited Miss Ilayse as agreed. When dancing with the graceful girl, they said nothing, but their eyes seemed to say everything.

Next was Siris. The young blonde girl was very good at dancing; finally, it was Miss Sylvia. In the fast-paced dance music, the black-haired witch danced quite freely.

By the time Xia De held Miss Sylvia's hand and returned to the sofa, Miss Bernice was telling the countess and Miss Ilayse about Green Lake:

"Megan and Audrey are really cunning. They said they are two people, so when they take turns dancing with Xia De, they have to dance twice.

Oh~ at that time, Jia Jia Lin Na also said to let them be, who told them their mental state is unstable? In my opinion, if having mental problems can be tolerated, we might as well let the lunatics manage the City Hall."

Siris said with a smile on the side:

"Miss Edwards are normal now, there won't be such things in the future."

"I think they must still say they are two people just to take advantage. If one day it becomes advantageous to say they are one person, they will say they are actually one person."

Miss Bernice did not agree with their point of view. Seeing Xia De and Miss Sylvia return, the countess holding a wine glass asked him again:

"They didn't explain it very clearly before. What method did you use to make Megan and Audrey return to normal? This is simply rewriting their destiny trajectory directly."

"This is a very long and complicated story. If you want to hear it, it's better to let them tell you themselves."

"Perhaps it's the magic of love."

The blue-eyed girl said with a smile. Seeing Xia De look at her, she said softly again:

"I have already agreed with the countess that I will move into Belindell Manor tonight, and then enter the council to say hello to the current Speaker. I don't know if the Speaker is easy to get along with compared to the emperors of the past."

"Miss Isabella is of course easy to get along with."

Xia De said in his heart, while Miss Belindell said the content in his heart:

"The Speaker is very easy to get along with, she is the best lady I have ever seen."

The dance will continue until very late, so Margaret got up and left with Miss Sylvia not long after. She still had many things to deal with at this banquet. Miss Bernice and Siris also got up and left after dancing another dance with Xia De. They had to meet with peers in the local literary and art circles.

Moon Bay City, with its developed industry and commerce, also has a developed cultural industry. As an opera troupe from out of town, they must talk to the local opera troupe before the performance. Even if Miss Bernice is an "old senior" in the opera performance world, she must follow the rules. Fortunately, everyone will give her face.

Thus, only Xia De, Miss Belindell, and Miss Ilayse were left here. The countess wanted to say a few more words to Xia De, or ask Miss Ilayse more questions. But it was clear that she was not completely idle at this banquet, so she also left temporarily with her maids not long after.

"Do you want to continue dancing? Or go outside for a walk?"

Xia De took the initiative to propose, thinking about understanding more about the life of the girl in front of him over the years.

And the blue-eyed girl thought about it reservedly, and finally chose to take a walk in the garden.

I don't know if it's because the "Brilliance Messenger" was also holding a banquet on the ship the night before it sank, so she doesn't seem to like this kind of banquet occasion very much.

The night sky of Moon Bay City is rarely clear tonight. After coming from indoors to the outdoors, Xia De took a deep breath and looked at the moon with a smile:

"Last time you rescued me and Miss Belindell at sea, I was in a cat-form coma and didn't see what your ship looks like now. If there is a chance, take me to see your ship in the future."

The blue-eyed girl was about to nod in agreement, but suddenly closed her mouth, and turned with Xia De to look at the balcony on the second floor of Margaret Manor.

A man's figure in a black formal suit fell from that balcony under their gaze. But because the music in the room was very loud, and there happened to be no one at the window, no one noticed his fall and the dull sound.

"Why does something happen at every banquet? Is this also a curse?"

Xia De complained and hurried toward that side, and Miss Ilayse followed behind him.

Falling from the height of the second floor, as long as it is not an unlucky situation like landing on the head, generally one will not die. But the man who fell was clutching his left chest at this time, making a whimpering sound from his throat, and then just like this in front of Xia De and Miss Ilayse...

"False immortality."

Xia De reached out and pressed on his chest, then frowned slightly, because he felt the whispering elements that were rapidly fading at the man's heart.

Those elements completely disappeared in just a few seconds, but fortunately, the unconscious man was successfully saved by Xia De.

Miss Ilayse's blue eyes shone slightly:

"Heart attack?"

"It looks like this, but there are traces of elements. The whispering elements are completely gone now, and they are not continuously affecting him."

It didn't even need treatment, and the man had already successfully escaped from the near-death state at this time. Of course, the injuries he sustained from falling from a high place naturally hadn't healed yet.

Xia De thought for a while, turned his head to look at his face, and then his expression became even more solemn.

"Do you know him?"

The blue-eyed girl asked with interest again with her hands behind her back, and Xia De nodded lightly:

"I have seen his photo in the materials. This is Mr. Leonard Baldwin, the supervisor of the Bridge and Road Engineering Department of Moon Bay City Hall. He is the third person in charge of the government department for the construction of the Moon Bay Bridge, besides engineers and architects..."

These were all materials collected by the "Gray Gloves." Xia De had read them once as entertainment materials, so he remembered what this person looked like.

"Corruption or bribery? Then how should we deal with this person?"

Miss Ilayse asked curiously again. Xia De stood up and patted the leaves stuck to his pants:

"He was drunk and accidentally fell from the balcony. Because of shock, he fainted. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. Now go back and tell Margaret, let Margaret handle it. Appearing such a problem at her banquet can be considered a scandal."

Saying this, he wanted to guard here himself and let Miss Ilayse go to notify the princess in the mansion. But he suddenly covered his chest, and then looked left and right vigilantly.

"Strange, my heart is actually stinging slightly."

【Curse, don't worry, the First Fire and the Heart of Stone completely resisted its effect.】

"What?"

The blue-eyed girl immediately looked around, but there was no one nearby, and they found nothing.

The fallen Mr. Baldwin was then properly arranged. It would only be claimed that he was drunk and accidentally fell. But the fact that Xia De felt he was cursed made the witches very alert.

Miss Belindell even used the excuse of "If something happens to you here, how can I explain it to Miss Anate," and after the banquet ended, together with Miss Bernice and Miss Sylvia, used the witch's secret art to perform a complete "exorcism ritual" for Xia De at Margaret Manor.

But it turned out that although the curse had an effect at the time, because Xia De's body was too strong and the "Original Fire" also protected him from malicious curses, he was fine.

"This matter is strange."

The great witch of destiny reached such a conclusion. The whispering elements Xia De felt were definitely not an illusion, but when she tried to trace the source of this curse, she found that she could not get any answer.

And that night, Miss Ilayse also returned to Belindell Manor with the group according to her agreement with Xia De. As for Xia De finding a new girl to live here, Angelina was not surprised, while the elf girl looked at the blue-eyed lady's figure with awe:

"Humans are really terrible... Not human? Is it a dragon-born? Oh, that makes sense."

Because it would be very troublesome to explain Miss Ilayse's origin in detail, she called herself a "blue dragon" dragon-born. Amelia, who had lived at Saint Byrons for many years, had many such classmates around her, so she accepted it immediately.

It was the little unicorn that seemed a bit afraid of Miss Ilayse. It probably felt how ancient the girl was. And for an underage unicorn, it was not enough to deal with such a powerful ancient one. This made Xia De very curious about what it would be like to see Grace and Helen, and then he began to self-reflect on his "bad intentions."

And in the little princess's view, the most interesting thing that night should be the meeting between Tifa and Miss Ilayse.

That was when Xia De and Miss Belindell had just returned from Margaret Manor. Considering that Luweiya, Dorothy, and Lei Qianya were preparing for exams recently and would not stay overnight at home, and Miss Jia Jia Lin Na was also busy with things in her hands, even moving directly into the Yodel Palace, and Little Mia was by her side, Xia De finally agreed to Miss Belindell's invitation to stay at the manor tonight.

The Northern maid ladies didn't know what means they used, so they prepared the guest room and pajamas for Xia De. Miss Matilda was a bit angry about this, and the good-tempered maid thought these Northern girls had snatched her work. ===== CHAPTER 2255 =====
