Chapter 2480

After breakfast, Galina left, but she let Tifa stay with half of the maids:

"According to Tobesk's climate, autumn is not far away. Since there is nothing to do today, and you will be at home often after this, let Tifa and the others help you organize your wardrobe and also give the house a thorough cleaning.

Don't refuse me; I will come over at noon, and Lei Qianya might come too. Let's have lunch together."

The satisfied duchess headed to the Yodel Palace with the remaining maids. Tifa and Xia De saw her off downstairs. After the door closed, the black-haired head maid returned to the second floor to arrange the work for the maids, but she did not assign any work to herself:

"Xia De, when you go to Moon Bay recently, don't forget to visit Matilda."

She softly mentioned the maid from the southern country; it seems they formed a deep friendship during their time in Moon Bay.

But in fact, she didn't need to remind him; Xia De wouldn't forget any girl in Moon Bay. However, there wasn't enough time in the morning, so he didn't go to Moon Bay, but stayed in the study to check the notes left by Miss Feilian and the materials about "Arrow of Night."

This is not a wonder; this is a witch's secret art. However, Miss Feilian's 【Feilian's Witch Light】 and Miss Violet's 【Sunlight Ray】 are both witch secret arts that Xia De has learned, so he is not worried that he won't be able to learn this.

The other maids certainly wouldn't disturb the master of the study, and they didn't make much noise while cleaning the room. However, the weather was very good today, so after obtaining Xia De's consent, they opened all the windows in the house for ventilation.

Blowing the very comfortable warm wind, sitting in the soft chair of his own study and looking at the familiar lady's handwriting in his hand, made the outsider who had been busy for two months feel comfortable and enjoy it for the first time in a long while.

The cat was lying on the left hand side basking in the sun, and wisps of white smoke were still floating from the mouth of the black tea cup on the right hand side. From the half-open crack of the study door, one could see the spirited young girls in black and white maid outfits walking back and forth, and plus there was nothing that had to be done today, the outsider felt that life was probably just like this.

Knock knock knock~

After Tifa knocked on the door, she walked in with a tea tray, on which were a new teapot and a plate of sugar-frosted shortbread snacks.

The cat, which originally looked like it was sleeping soundly, lifted its head at once, its tail wagging back and forth, looking very expectantly at the plate of snacks "landing" on the other side of the table.

However, Tifa did not leave immediately, but held the black tea tray with both hands, bent down slightly, and asked Xia De:

"May I ask if you need anything else?"

She had her back to the window, her head tilted slightly to the left, and a very concerned expression on her face. Her dark brown eyes looked at Xia De, and the soft smile carried a hint of pride; she was indeed a professional maid.

Xia De didn't need anything:

"Cleaning the house is not urgent; you can also rest for twenty minutes, sit down, drink some tea, and eat some snacks."

Saying this, he also looked out the window:

"The weather is really good recently; I don't know how long this good weather can last."

Tifa continued to tilt her head and look at Xia De:

"Then is the current weather better, or is your mood better?"

Xia De originally wanted to say "You in front of me are better," but felt that such words would make him appear very frivolous, so he replied:

"It's better to be in a better mood; time has slowed down, this feeling is really good."

An expression of unknown relief or pity appeared on the maid's face, but what she said had nothing to do with these two:

"Then, Xia De, do you want to be in a better mood?"

The smile on her face deepened, and the small dimples on both sides were revealed, while Xia De glanced at the door:

"Galina won't come back suddenly, will she?"

"Please rest assured, Master. The Duchess is going to attend an important closed-door meeting about the deployment of the West Coast Navy today; she won't be able to come out before eleven o'clock."

The loyal maid lowered her voice and said, continuing to bend down closer to the master of the house, and then winked at him:

"Do you remember the wish you promised me before the train left Moon Bay? I am making a wish to you now; before the Madam comes back, you..."

Biting her lip, Xia De still couldn't distinguish what red this belonged to:

"... are mine."

"Cough cough."

Xia De hooked his finger and used a cough to cover up the sound of the study window suddenly closing, followed by the curtains being drawn.

The door also closed slowly at the same time, and the maid ladies who were organizing the hanging paintings and carpets in the living room all smiled tacitly.

As for inside the study, Tifa did not enthusiastically hug or kiss the master with whom she, as the head maid, was having an affair, but let Xia De, who was sitting behind the desk, move back a little.

Then she stood on tiptoe, lifted her skirt, and sat on the desk where Xia De had just been reading, which was also in front of Xia De. Because the distance was too close, Xia De could even smell the charming perfume on her.

Although both sides were sitting, because the height of sitting was different, it caused Xia De's gaze to stay in the range from the maid's abdomen to her thighs.

The maid who seduced her master smiled, looked down at Xia De, blinked, and then slowly pulled her maid skirt upward.

The black, light fabric thus appeared and perfectly outlined the curves of the maid's legs. Xia De's gaze seemed to be attracted by a huge gravitational force and was completely unable to move away. The hem of the skirt rose bit by bit, crossing the calves, crossing the knees, and then arrived at the edge of the fabric.

Two long, thin black straps extended to a higher place; these were decorative garter straps. Although Miss Sylvia's brand-new invention made the highly elastic fabric no longer need garter straps to fix it, she would not ignore the decorative function of the garter straps.

Arriving here, Tifa did not continue but paused for a moment.

Xia De looked up at her, and she also looked down at Xia De while holding her skirt, with a clear smile in her dark brown eyes.

After waiting for a moment, Xia De reached out his hand, and the maid tilted her head upward. She continued to lift her black and white maid outfit upward, showing her lover more... secrets of the girls.

"Why is the carpet in the study gone?"

When the duchess and the princess came to invite Xia De out for lunch at noon, the former asked like this.

"Oh, Mia wanted to eat the snacks on the table and accidentally knocked over the teacup."

Xia De, who was changing into going-out clothes in the bedroom, said. Lei Qianya looked at the study and then at Tifa standing behind them, revealing a meaningful expression.

However, when eating lunch that day, Xia De asked Lei Qianya about Angelina:

"Is it really necessary to punish her like that?"

Xia De argued for the little princess:

"I don't know what kind of homework you assigned to Angelina, but can't you give her a chance? Your reading salon... I'm worried it will hurt Angelina's self-esteem; girls of her age are easily prone to psychological problems because of this."

While speaking, he picked up his wine glass:

"I'll vouch for Angelina; how about letting her off this time?"

He persuaded, but Lei Qianya, who was drinking oyster soup, shook her head:

"I didn't punish her because of any homework; actually, the question I asked her when she was about to leave, she answered quite well."

The princess recalled her sister, standing in front of the garden swing at Yodel Palace, clenching her fists and saying "I want everything," looking both cute and bold:

"This punishment is for another reason."

"Did you find out she was hiding illegal books again?"

Galina, who was eating fruit salad on the side, asked, but Lei Qianya still shook her head:

"I discovered that Angelina didn't know when she fell in love with writing. I found some of her works; how should I put it, Angelina is still very talented. She is imitating Dorothy's writing style, writing stories similar to 'Hamilton's Detective Story Collection'."

"Her level of writing stories is certainly far inferior to Dorothy's, but she is quite good at describing language and actions."

"Isn't this very good? Writing is a very good hobby; why punish her for this?"

Xia De was puzzled.

"Her stories still revolve around Detective Hamilton and the female assistant who is a reporter, which is the role Dorothy arranged for herself. However, outside of those clumsy detective plots that look like freebies, her main writing content is actually... that kind of content."

Hearing this, the duchess really couldn't help it and laughed, covering her mouth:

"This matter will make me happy for the whole day."

Xia De was also surprised and stopped eating:

"Sorry, what?"

"Those things were written by Angelina when she was bored during the train trip; even Dorothy and Tifa didn't find out on the way."

Lei Qianya said very flatly, as if she didn't care about this matter at all:

"Actually, writing such stories is nothing; it's just a young girl's spring thoughts, and it's not like I haven't experienced this age. However, I don't really like Dorothy as depicted by Angelina in her 'works'."

"Dorothy, although she is from a commoner background, is also an elegant girl from the upper class. Although Xia De is indeed very attractive, Dorothy shouldn't... Angelina clearly didn't understand this point."

"So, did you really finish reading every word Angelina wrote?"

Galina tried her best to hold back her laughter, and Lei Qianya glanced at her:

"Yes, so I am quite angry. I let Angelina choose for herself whether she wants to read what she wrote in front of me, or if I invite you to hold a reading salon and let her read the illegal reading materials she reads."

"Angelina chose the latter?"

Xia De asked, and Lei Qianya nodded:

"Yes, I just finished speaking and she made her choice, without a second of hesitation."

"You two sisters are really too interesting; Yodel Palace will become more interesting because of you."

The duchess couldn't help but "praise," while Xia De still wanted to excuse Angelina:

"How about letting her apologize to Dorothy, or letting her do some housework for Dorothy as punishment? I think there's no need to..."

Lei Qianya signaled the maid behind her to hand a few pages of paper to Xia De. Xia De glanced at them roughly, and his expression became quite wonderful.
