Chapter 2643

"Ahem~"

The young man and woman, lost in this kiss, only abruptly separated when they heard the coughing sound.

Or rather, Xia De realized who had come and wanted to push Marguerite away, but the blonde princess remained reluctant to let go, and Xia De couldn't truly use force to push her off, so it took Marguerite quite a while of dawdling before she climbed down from Xia De.

As expected, Miss Danister, Miss Wensley, and Miss Bell had all arrived. The red-haired girl and the black-haired girl stood in the back; the former looked at them with curiosity, while the latter had a flush of shyness on her usually pale face.

As for the one who had just coughed, it was clearly the Great Witch standing at the very front, her face flushed red with anger at this moment:

"Marguerite, Xia De, what are you two doing in my room?"

She reached out and pointed at the Princess:

"Princess Marguerite! Miss Anjou! Have you forgotten that you are already a witch apprentice?"

The Princess sat on the edge of the sofa, reaching out to wrap her arms around Xia De, who had just sat up:

"But if a witch like Miss Galina can do such things, an apprentice should be able to as well."

She showed a bit of timidity to demonstrate her respect for the Great Witch:

"Miss Wensley, I bet Miss Galina has definitely done even more excessive things with Xia De... She meets with Xia De every day; I don't believe they have only kissed."

"That is not something a lady should say, Princess Marguerite. Could you please let my student get off the sofa first?"

Miss Danister smoothed things over just in time, and only then did Marguerite stand up and reach out to pull Xia De up as well. For a moment, Xia De thought she might even reach out to help him straighten his collar, but fortunately, the Princess did not do so.

"We were only out for a little while... Xia De, how do you know Marguerite?"

The witch asked quite sternly, looking as if she would immediately report their affairs to Miss Isabella if Xia De didn't give her an answer.

"We met when Marguerite visited Tobesk last autumn."

Xia De explained:

"Marguerite wasn't a witch apprentice back then."

"But I remember Marguerite didn't stay in Tobesk for very long during her visit last year... You two developed this kind of relationship in just two months?"

She was still quite angry, but only she knew what she was angry about:

"Marguerite, what am I supposed to say to you? As a witch apprentice, you must follow the witch apprentice code, and Xia De is someone you can... Wasn't Sylvia also in Tobesk last autumn? Don't tell me that Sylvia has actually known Xia De for a long time too."

The Great Witch of Death asked again. Marguerite wanted to explain for Xia De, but Xia De wouldn't let the Princess be put in a difficult position:

"Yes. Miss Sylvia met me at that time, and she even said she wanted me to become her apprentice and explore the mysteries of space with her."

Miss Wensley gasped, an unreadable expression appearing on her face:

"So you agreed to her?"

"Of course not."

She felt slightly relieved, but then remembered the scene she had seen when she pushed the door open, and her anger surged up again:

"What am I supposed to say to you two~ Marguerite, you are already a witch apprentice, how can you still have a relationship with a man? And you, Xia De, doing this... are you worthy of Galina?"

The blonde princess pursed her lips, but she was actually very happy inside and not at all anxious about being "scolded" by the Great Witch. Xia De didn't answer this question either, because it couldn't be answered; the Duchess supported him in doing this.

And after Flora Wensley successfully placed herself on the moral high ground, she thought of another thing:

"Wait a minute, Marguerite. You are Vanessa's apprentice now. Does Vanessa know about you and Xia De? Are you hiding it from her?"

The Princess looked at Xia De, and Xia De answered again:

"Miss Vanessa Benanis also knows me, and she knows about my affairs."

He had originally prepared to answer what kind of relationship he had with Vanessa, but he didn't expect "Miss Owl" to stop asking and instead clutch her chest:

"Good, Galina, Sylvia, and Vanessa; it turns out there is already such a small clique within the Council, hiding such a major secret from the rest of us! Are you trying to split the Council?"

Marguerite suddenly spoke up to change the subject, not knowing Xia De's intentions and thinking he didn't want to expose his relationship with her teacher:

"Miss Wensley, what I'm doing isn't that bold; Miss Galina's apprentice, Miss Tifa, did the same thing!"

But this time, the Great Witch of Death wasn't very surprised. She came from a great noble family; she had heard plenty about maids having affairs with their masters, and it would be rare if a master didn't have any involvement with a maid.

Especially since she had seen Tifa in the Council and knew she was a very beautiful girl:

"Just because others can do it, you have to do it too? If others do bad things, do you have to do bad things too?"

Flora Wensley scolded:

"And even if you weren't a witch apprentice, as a royal princess, is it really okay for you to do this?"

Marguerite immediately hugged Xia De's arm, having even more reason when it came to this:

"I learned it from others; the princesses of the Northland made their moves faster than me! Princess Lei Qianya Cavendish has long been Xia De's lover."

Although she also knew about Angelina, because Angelina wasn't very famous and the seventeen-year-old princess didn't seem threatening at all, she simply didn't mention her.

"Princess Lei Qianya? You mean the princess who visited Willandale last summer? Galina's grandniece?"

Miss Wensley turned her head to stare at Xia De again, but this time it wasn't anger, but pure surprise:

"You have such methods? How could a woman like Galina, who is so proud and thinks she is the protagonist of the world, agree to you doing this?"

Xia De winked at Miss Danister behind her, as the latter was watching the conversation between the two in front of her with a smile.

"Um... this is also very complicated to explain, yes, very complicated. But isn't Galina's temper quite good? We have never been angry, and she has always taken care of my emotions. Galina has always been very gentle and considerate; I can't even imagine what she looks like when she loses her temper."

So Miss Wensley was speechless:

"The girls these days..."

Although she seemed very angry, she didn't really intend to go find Miss Isabella to report them.

Even because Marguerite wasn't her apprentice, she only "scolded" her a few times and didn't say anything more. After all, part of her anger just now was to cover up her surprise, and part of it was because she saw something she had taken a fancy to being defiled by others.

As for Xia De's complicated love life, Miss Danister summarized it:

"Yes, Flora, I knew about these things a long time ago. His affairs with you witches? Although he didn't tell me directly, I guessed it."

The red-haired girl signaled for everyone to sit down and talk:

"Flora, since that Duchess Galina you mentioned has no objections to this, don't take it too much to heart."

"Next time I see Galina in the Council, I must ask her if she has any special hobbies."

Saying this, she glanced at Xia De again, and now she felt that the only remaining moral problem had disappeared.

Marguerite's visit to Vistalin this time was also a secret visit, and even Miss Sylvia didn't follow. She mainly came to see what was going on with her "idiot" brother and to bring back the preliminary investigation results of William Anjou to report to His Majesty the King.

Apparently, compared to William Anjou, His Majesty "Lion Ryan" thought this daughter of his was more reliable.

She did indeed get off the train this morning and then rushed to visit the local witch without stopping. Originally, Miss Wensley was very moved, thinking that the students taught by Miss Sylvia and Vanessa were very sensible and polite, but now she realized that Marguerite was simply impatient to meet her lover.

Marguerite's trip was rushed, and it would probably be difficult for her to meet with the group in the hotel for a long time in the future. However, she was very thoughtful and brought gifts for everyone, and used a large suitcase to pack the gifts. Not only the witches and Miss Danister, but even Miss Bell and the witch's followers had a share.

The Princess's maids had already piled the suitcases in the corner of the room. According to her, they contained those popular goods from Miss Sylvia and specialties from Willandale. And these maids of the Princess were actually Miss Sylvia's followers. Most of these young ring-warlock girls would not leave with the Princess later, but would stay in Vistalin as helpers to assist the understaffed witches.

Xia De had met most of these girls, so everyone was an acquaintance. And now that the Moon Dance Festival was coming to an end, there were more empty rooms in the Accordion Hotel, and they would all live here later.

Miss Wensley was still brooding over the relationship between this princess and Xia De, but Marguerite really didn't have that much time to explain all this. She left soon after. Besides giving kisses and hugs to Xia De, she also left her handkerchief to Xia De before leaving:

"If things go well with my brother, I will come to see you... you all, tonight or before I leave tomorrow morning."

There was actually a note tucked inside the handkerchief. Xia De's hand touched it, and "she" informed him of its contents:

【Tomorrow morning at 7:30, Room 401, Accordion Hotel.】

"Although I had noticed your methods were very clever before, even a girl like Marguerite could be made by you..."

After the Princess left, the witch said this to Xia De again, but was too embarrassed to describe it in detail:

"Do you know, she is different from Princess Lei Qianya Cavendish of your Northland. Marguerite Anjou is truly likely to become the next Queen of the United Kingdom!"
