Chapter 2330: Secret Meeting and Traces of the Priest
"As far as I know, among Angelina's many brothers and sisters, there are quite a few who are not promising. Rixia and Angelina are exceptions."
Xia De said with a smile:
"Besides, Margaret, you are not bad either."
Although Emilia was facing away from them, she had been listening to this conversation with her ears pricked up, and thought that Xia De was really good at making people happy.
"Oh, Xia De, don't say that about me, I know my level."
Although she said so, the blonde princess who was almost sitting in Xia De's arms clearly had a smile on her face:
"Teacher Sylvia went to the Goethe Grand Hotel to find Teacher Benanis ten minutes before you arrived, wanting to ask her to help perceive the earth and locate the space nodes suitable for the city. After she comes back, she will definitely regret missing meeting you."
"What's there to regret? Whatever I want to do in the afternoon, at least I will definitely have lunch here."
Margaret's eyes curved like crescent moons because of her smile:
"That's good, I'll let the maid prepare a big meal in a while, but I think Count Belindell should have let you taste enough local food these days."
She stared at Xia De with a smile, and then bit her lip lightly:
"Handsome Northern Knight~ Although the food in Moon Bay is delicious, do you know? The food in Willendale, especially the royal desserts, actually tastes good too."
Angelina and Emilia, who were listening to the conversation, almost understood the meaning of this sentence at the same time.
And on the sofa, Margaret leaned in Xia De's arms and looked up, her left hand stroked Xia De's side face, her eyes with affection met Xia De's, and then she kissed up lightly.
Angelina was still writing the speech at the desk, and Emilia was still watering the trees and pruning the excess branches by the window. Of course, the elf girl could actually see everything behind her through the reflection of the window glass.
Therefore, she could not only see another princess taking the initiative to kiss Xia De, but also saw her good friend Angelina, whose left hand under the table had already clenched.
But Angelina didn't stop the two people on the sofa from doing some indecent things during the day. After all, if Rixia were here, she could do more excessive things. Fortunately, Margaret was indeed very reserved, just pulling Xia De's hand to feel the texture of her long skirt from the inside. Of course, she deliberately avoided Angelina's peripheral vision.
Feeling the temperature of her lover's hand, she lay quietly in Xia De's arms listening to his heartbeat, thinking that if it could be like this forever, it would be too good.
Angelina and Emilia only lived in the manor for this day, so they could return to Belindell Manor tonight, so Xia De didn't have to ask if they were used to living here.
Of course, Xia De didn't really linger with Margaret on the sofa in the study for the whole morning. Even if he had time for the time being, Margaret didn't have time. Although it was Sunday, according to the itinerary, she still had to visit and visit the children in the orphanage this morning.
Xia De certainly followed her to visit, but before that, he asked a question:
"It won't be the Red Heart Orphanage, right?"
"Where is that?"
The blonde princess, whose face was still blushing, asked when she was changing clothes outside under the service of a maid. Xia De, who was sitting in her desk chair watching her change clothes, shook his head immediately:
"It's not good. I don't want to meet Mrs. Jude again in a short time."
After all, what he did that night was indeed a bit too much.
Margaret, as a princess, visited the orphanage to express the royal family's kindness, of course, it was the "Moon Bay City Orphanage" with an official nature operated by the city hall.
The person accompanying the visit from Moon Bay was the elderly Viscount Silver. This lady, like Miss Belindell, was a woman and very suitable to accompany the princess to do such things.
Viscount Silver came to the door in advance, and then set off with Princess Margaret. Xia De followed Margaret as a servant.
And when the group arrived at the orphanage on the edge of the lower city in the south of Moon Bay City in the thick fog, a large number of reporters were already waiting on the side.
Police and royal guards were on alert at the intersection, and the interior of the orphanage had been checked in advance for dangerous items like steam bombs. After the incident last Sunday, everyone didn't dare to relax. Fortunately, at least this time no accident happened.
Although most of the funds for this official orphanage were funded by the city hall, the specific operation was not done by the city hall, but by the charity organization "Snake Heart Hospital", which was the ordinary organization under Sister Daifulin.
Therefore, there were many staff members dressed like nuns inside the orphanage, and Margaret even asked with great interest.
"Not only Snake Heart Hospital, but kind-hearted people in Moon Bay City will also come here to be volunteers. A few days ago, even an old priest from the North was willing to stay here to help. He originally wanted to borrow a room in the Dawn Church, but isn't the church being renovated recently?"
Dean Jane Saland of the orphanage introduced to the princess. So shortly after, when the group passed through the second-floor corridor, Xia De felt something, looked at the courtyard below from the corridor window, and happened to meet the eyes of Priest Augustus, who hadn't seen him for a week.
The old priest appeared from the fog with a fat man dressed as a chef, followed by a large group of ten-year-old children. They were preparing to move baskets of fresh vegetables to the back kitchen. The priest certainly recognized Xia De, but he just nodded, and then didn't have any eye contact with Xia De, but asked the chef beside him:
"Today, only Princess Margaret's group should be visiting, right? If the order here is restored in the afternoon, I'm thinking of taking the children to the backyard to pull weeds. Although this summer is a bit cold, the vitality of these weeds is really tenacious."
The fat chef shook his head:
"I didn't receive a notice that anyone else would visit, and who would dare to visit on the same day as the princess? However, they are on the second floor now, and it seems they shouldn't go to the kitchen anymore. Come on, guys, work hard, hurry up and move these vegetables to the cellar! Also, you are not allowed to steal tomatoes and cucumbers, otherwise there will be no dinner!"
The priest nodded, very curious about what Xia De was doing again.
Because the "Goddess of the Lake" reminded him, there were indeed some "remains of the Death Angel" in Moon Bay, so when Xia De really saw Priest Augustus who came to travel in Moon Bay, he was actually a bit worried.
But he still didn't meet and communicate with Priest Augustus alone that day, but left here after Margaret finished visiting the orphanage.
Since the priest was traveling and relaxing, Xia De felt that he should not disturb him easily. And for the remains of the Death Angel, no matter how he blocked it, it would appear beside the priest if it should appear.
Xia De at most paid attention to the situation here, and he believed that the priest would make a reasonable judgment himself.
Margaret's itinerary this morning was only this, and she was considered relaxed for a rare Sunday. And after returning to the manor, Xia De made a request to her:
"Can you help me investigate someone?"
He hesitated:
"Don't contact this person directly, and don't let him notice that anyone is investigating him. Ptolemy Albert, the coroner of the Spider Alley morgue in the lower city of Moon Bay. He studied medicine at the Saint York Medical College in Willendale when he was young, and became a military doctor after graduation and went to the New Continent with the army. He only returned to Moon Bay about ten years ago."
Mr. Albert had only re-established contact with Mr. Bernhardt when he settled in Moon Bay eight years ago, so he should have come to Moon Bay earlier than this:
"He has done many occupations in Moon Bay, and finally lost his job because he participated in the riots of students when he was teaching at the college, and has been a coroner until today. I know his approximate past, but now I hope to know more about his life trajectory, as well as the evaluation of his friends and colleagues."
Margaret and Xia De walked up the stairs of the manor side by side:
"Saint York Medical College? This is the best medical college in Karsenrik. The graduates there are now actually coroners in the lower city of Moon Bay? This is really interesting."
The princess was a bit surprised, but still nodded:
"No problem, you want to understand his past from the side, right? This is not troublesome, just write a few letters. But the experience during the Willendale study period and the Moon Bay period is easy to investigate, and the experience during the New Continent period will probably take some time to figure out. You wait for my good news."
"What to investigate?"
Suddenly a voice came from above. The two looked up at the top of the stairs, and Miss Sylvia was already waiting for them at the top of the stairs with a smile.
At the lunch table, Xia De, Margaret, Miss Sylvia, Emilia, and Angelina sat down together. Miss Sylvia told Xia De a good news:
"They originally wanted to tell you at night, but the Speaker has confirmed the whereabouts of 【Star Sword Stone】. It is no longer in the hands of that small Ringed Sorcerer organization in the archipelago kingdom. After many negotiations... peaceful negotiations, the Speaker learned that the relic is now in Moon Bay."
"Completely expected, in this way, the possibility that this relic is an item required for the Chosen One ritual has become even greater."
Xia De nodded, looking at the seafood cream mushroom soup on the table in front of him, not knowing how to express that he didn't like this taste very much.
【It's hate.】
"She" poked Xia De's mind with a smile, and Margaret asked curiously:
"Teacher Sylvia, whose hands is the relic in now?"
"The Speaker said that the 【Volcano Alliance】 sold the relic to a very ancient hermit organization - 【Light-Guiding Occult Society】. In fact, the Council had contact with them, but that was many years ago. The Speaker is still thinking of ways to contact them, but I think there will be new news soon." ===== CHAPTER 2331 =====
