Chapter 2531: The Witch's Perfume

"Look at your expression now, what are you worried about? The Speaker said she is only staying for one day; she is currently in the north of the Old Continent with Megan Audrey, containing the Angel-level relic 【Redeemer's Lament】."

Miss Jia Lin Na said with a smile, and briefly told Xia De about the relic's effects:

"It seems they don't want to use the relic to remove the curse, and I don't think the Speaker's action this Wednesday will have much effect. Xia De, what do you plan to do?"

"What do you mean what do I plan to do? On Wednesday, of course, I will avoid your Speaker. Even if I am in Vista City on Wednesday, I will definitely hide from her; I don't want to meet Miss Yisha Beila yet."

"Is that so..."

The Duchess nodded, thinking Xia De knew the "future", so it was not yet the time for the two to meet:

"I thought you planned to disguise yourself and try to contact her first. Well, since the matter has been told to you, Tifa, have the maid call the carriage; it is very late, let's go back."

Saying this, she stood up from the sofa, but her eyes remained fixed on Xia De.

And the black-haired head maid, who was bringing over the tea tray, did not go to call the other maids, but just winked at Xia De. Xia De then reached out and grabbed Miss Jia Lin Na:

"It is so dark outside, why don't you stay tonight. What else did you talk about with Miss Wensilai Te? Tell me everything in a while."

"Is that all you want to hear?"

She then raised an eyebrow and asked, her smiling expression clearly wanting Xia De to say those words himself.

Xia De then satisfied her request:

"Of course, it's not just about listening to you talk... The nights are long, and with only Mia and me living in such a large house, I would be very lonely too."

The cat on the back of the sofa turned to look at him, and the red-haired witch then smiled with satisfaction:

"Alright, then I will accompany you tonight. After all, everyone says you are my lover, although things should probably be said the other way around, but regardless, it is my turn tonight."

She sat back down and hugged Xia De's neck, taking a deep breath, then suddenly asked:

"Fu Luola's perfume, did you hug her today?"

"Hmm?"

He had indeed helped her walk in the afternoon, but Xia De did not consider that a hug.

"No need to explain, I understand everything. I only have one request: you are not allowed to take a bath tomorrow morning!"

"That won't do!"

"Then you can only wash your hair; I must have you bring my perfume scent to see her! Do not oppose this; there is no room for negotiation!"

Although Xia De pointed out that if she really wanted to achieve her goal, she could just spray perfume on him after waking up the next morning, Miss Jia Lin Na was still very enthusiastic that night, perhaps even a bit too enthusiastic.

The Royal Lady Knight once again bravely challenged the Outsider Knight alone, and as expected, was defeated once more, and according to the rules of the house, "suffered humiliation". However, she was not dejected; instead, after everything ended, she hugged Xia De in the bedroom at midnight and talked to him again.

The flush on her face had not yet faded, and she spoke softly:

"Fu Luola has probably taken a fancy to you."

Xia De did not answer, just touched her forehead. Miss Jia Lin Na, smiling foolishly, pressed her face against his chest to listen to his heartbeat:

"I won't be wrong. Don't look at how everyone says Fu Luola is an elegant artist; I know she is the simplest person. She just likes good-looking things."

"Miss Jia Lin Na~"

"Don't be in such a hurry to refute me. I just feel she is too curious about you. Fu Luola is an artist, and everyone says that is what girls should be like; now it seems there is no difference between her and us."

She rubbed against Xia De gently, which made Xia De think of Little Xiao Miya, but that cat was currently resting downstairs with Tifa.

"How about I call Tifa up?"

The witch suddenly asked, which gave Xia De a fright, thinking her mind-reading had finally broken through his powerful mental strength and thus seen that he had thought of the maid:

"What kind of joke is that? It's very late, let's sleep. Tomorrow is Monday, don't you have things to do?"

"But why did you react so strongly when I mentioned Tifa?"

Her leg moved, and then she smiled and hugged Xia De's neck, kissing him enthusiastically:

"You are really good, Xia De. Everything of mine will be yours sooner or later."

To prevent not being able to take a bath early Monday morning, Xia De woke up early the next morning, and as expected, saw Miss Jia Lin Na, who did not like waking up early, still fast asleep.

Although the witch did indeed groggily ask what time it was when he got up, she was fooled by Xia De and went back to sleep hugging Xia De's pillow.

Therefore, when she walked out of the bedroom yawning at 7:30 in the morning, Xia De had already finished washing and was sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper, just waiting for her to eat together.

The impatient cat was already licking goat milk, and the busy maids had brought the hot breakfast to the table.

"You took a bath."

The somewhat dissatisfied Duchess said, sitting on Xia De's left hand side:

"We will go for morning exercise after eating!"

The maids all held back their laughter, while Xia De handed her bread:

"Didn't you say last night that you had to reach Yodel Palace before 9:00 this morning? You still have to wash up and put on makeup in a while; there isn't enough time."

"If there isn't enough time, there are ways to make do."

She was clearly not very convinced. After hurriedly eating breakfast, she pulled Xia De back into the bedroom, and after hesitating, said to her apprentice:

"Tifa, come help."

The maid in charge of managing the makeup tools had brought the perfume to the bedroom early, and the specially blended "Witch's Scent" presented a seductive purple-pink luster in the morning sun.

But soon the curtains were drawn again, and the bedroom door was closed. The Duchess picked up the perfume bottle, which still had two-thirds left, opened the lid, and poured half of it onto her own head.

"What are you doing? This is too pungent."

"Don't speak."

Then she handed the bottle to Tifa. The black-haired head maid said nothing, and poured all the remaining perfume onto herself.

"Since there isn't enough time, then we'll make up for it with quantity."

A strange competitive spirit caused Miss Jia Lin Na Cavendish to do a very strange thing. She reached out to undo the buttons of Xia De's shirt while covered in the pungent scent of perfume, but her hand was caught by Xia De:

"Are you really sure you want to do this?"

Xia De asked, staring into her golden eyes. Miss Jia Lin Na did not answer this question, but signaled for Xia De to look at the black-haired maid standing behind her with her hands clasped together, expressionless:

"It is 7:50 now. Although I have to be at Yodel Palace before 9:00, being half an hour late is no problem, so you must finish before 8:30 to give me time to wash up and put on makeup. No... with Tifa... other than that, we will satisfy any of your requests this morning."

"Are you sure?"

Xia De asked suspiciously again, and the witch gave a light hum~:

"I knew you wouldn't refuse. Xia De, there are still forty minutes left; are you sure you want to waste them on talking?"

Saying this, she beckoned behind her. The docile Tifa stepped forward and stood side-by-side with her master, pursing her lips and lowering her head slightly, not looking at Xia De.

In short, that perfume scent was really pungent.

(Yiluna is praying...)

"Good morning, why did you come so late?"

When Xia De saw Miss Dannis Te and Miss Wensilai Te sitting opposite each other at a table on the first floor of the Accordion Hotel on a sunny morning, it was already close to 10:00 AM.

There were not many people on the first floor of the hotel at this time, but the enthusiastic bard was still playing the lute, telling the local Creekwood Town story of "The Lumberjack and the Treasure". It was truly the "City of Music"; even the level of the busking bards in the tavern was much stronger than in other cities.

Xia De sat down with an awkward smile. The two ladies had chosen to sit opposite each other against the wall, and because the position against the wall was an aisle, it was not convenient for anyone to sit there, so he had to sit beside the red-haired girl:

"Miss Dannis Te, I brought you some clothes a few days ago. Later, I thought that as a 'noble girl who came to the concert alone', you should also need a set of jewelry that matches this age."

He took a jewelry box from his pocket, and after opening it, there was a complete set of jewelry inside. Earrings, hair accessories, rings, and bracelets were all there. This was, of course, taken from the 【God's Gift Box】 this morning.

The Duchess had said at the time:

"This style of jewelry is suitable for immature girls like Ajielina."

The red-haired girl then took the box to her side to look at the jewelry, while the witch, who had still been holding her teacup, looked at Xia De suspiciously, then sniffed lightly a few times.

"Fu Luola, if your admirers saw you making such an unrefined movement, your reputation would certainly suffer."

The red-haired girl reminded, picking out the ruby stud earrings from the box to examine in her palm:

"Xia De, are you bribing me?"

"Of course not."

And Miss Wensilai Te said after sniffing:

"Don't misunderstand, I just smelled a familiar scent. I didn't expect Miss Jia Lin Na to be so petty; this doesn't look like a scent stuck on after intimacy or a hug. Did she pour half a bottle of perfume on you? Mr. Detective."

She revealed an expression with a mocking tone.

Miss Dannis Te then asked Xia De:

"Why, coming so late today, is it because you were cuddling with your lover at home?"

"Let's not discuss this question."

Xia De hurriedly stopped her, because he saw Miss Wensilai Te, who had widened her eyes on the side, seemed to want to ask how far the relationship between Xia De and the Northern Duchess had progressed.

"So, why are you here?"

He also asked, and Miss Dannis Te then closed the lid of the jewelry box:

"Didn't I tell you last week? I found a few reliable townspeople in the past, and let their descendants come to the Accordion Hotel one week after I disappeared to find someone to explain this matter."

"This date is today. I said it would be fine to come in the morning, so we have been waiting here to see if anyone would really come looking." ===== CHAPTER 2532 =====
