Chapter 279: The Injured Duchess

Miss Galina belonged to the most important royal family members, so it was understandable that she had a pass during martial law. But what Xia De wondered was that she actually looked for him at such a sensitive time, and therefore guessed that something had happened again.

"Go to see Miss Galina? Okay, oh, wait a minute, I'll go upstairs to get the necklace, and some letters related to 【Blood Spirit School】. What is the urgent matter this time? Why come to find me during martial law?"

This Great Witch could not know that the god last night was related to Xia De. Xia De in the god-like state was very sure that the only person who truly witnessed that scene was Yin Luna Beiya, which was why Xia De asked the black-haired maid what exactly was the matter.

"About the Transformation Ring, and what happened last night, Miss wants to talk to you... Miss was seriously injured."

The maid was very worried.

"Is the injury serious?"

Xia De had not witnessed the Great Witch trying to enter the third floor to fight the Evil God, but in the morning, Luweiya relayed Miss Beiya's description of last night, knowing that the person who built the golden stairs outside the manor was likely her.

Even without entering the third-floor Blood Banquet, Miss Galina was still injured by the Evil God. The Duchess was very good to Xia De, and Xia De was also very concerned about her injuries.

"It won't be life-threatening, the light rain when that white-robed god left treated everyone, but Miss needs to recuperate for a period of time."

That was why the maid was in a low mood today.

Going upstairs to get the gold necklace and the copy of the letters, and telling Luweiya to help take care of Little Mia temporarily, Xia De then took the carriage and rushed to the outskirts of the city with the maid.

On the way out of the city, their carriage was stopped five times. Even though maid Tifa had the Duchess's pass, the coachman and the two were strictly interrogated.

The pass was for Miss Galina to use, and it was barely justifiable for the personal maid to use it, but the reason why Xia De Hamilton appeared in the carriage had to be explained clearly.

The church was now not stingy about suspecting anyone of being an accomplice of cultists, even if Xia De had a close relationship with the Dawn Church, it was useless.

"Miss Galina wants to see Mr. Hamilton, because... she wants him to stay overnight."

The black-haired maid explained this, and people immediately did not dare to continue asking.

But waiting for the carriage to restart, Xia De frowned and asked:

"Is it really okay to explain it this way? For Miss Galina's reputation..."

"Miss told me to say it this way, otherwise you might not be able to leave the city."

The maid answered dutifully, her brown eyes looking at Xia De, seeming a bit dissatisfied with him, but this dissatisfaction did not seem to be directed at Xia De himself.

Xia De could understand this mood. Miss Tifa Servit had always been maintaining Miss Galina's reputation, and she was definitely unhappy about this kind of thing, but this was proposed by Miss Galina, and she could not oppose it.

"But if you say so, there will definitely be rumors later."

Xia De said again.

"Isn't that better? People know you are Miss's person. With this identity, you will be safer in Tobeisk."

She said softly, then looked out the window again, her tone very worried:

"Miss seems very worried, not worried about this city, she said the epic of fate has begun, and all of us will be forced to be involved. There are not many people Miss can trust, and she doesn't want anything to happen to you."

For some people, the Evil God who had already left was not as important as the Chosen One. Because the Evil God was too far away, while the great prophecy of the Whisper Poem was very close.

It was still in the Duchess's manor study that he saw her. Although he knew in advance that Miss Galina was injured, when Xia De saw her sitting face-up on the sofa with a white handkerchief covering her face and a blanket covering her, he was still taken aback:

"Good afternoon, Galin, hmm? This..."

He stood at the door hesitantly, and the maid poked her head out from behind him:

"It's okay, Miss is taking a nap, today's sun is really good, let's go to..."

"It's okay, come in. Tifa, thank you for your hard work, detective, good afternoon."

The red-haired Great Witch took the handkerchief off her face, then sat up straight on the sofa, covering her legs with the blanket and greeting Xia De.

Xia De sensed the weakness in her tone, but just looking at her appearance, her complexion was rosy and there were no external injuries. Today Miss Galina wore a black long dress, but Xia De thought this color did not suit her:

"Good afternoon, Miss Galina. Is your injury okay?"

Xia De sat on the sofa opposite her. Afternoon tea and snacks were placed on the coffee table, so there was no need to prepare extra.

The black-haired maid asked something in a low voice on the side, and after receiving the Duchess's shaking head, she stood on the side with her hands in front of her and stopped talking. Miss Galina sat there, and the floor-to-ceiling window on the side allowed today's exceptionally good sunlight to shine in. The red long hair inherited by the Cavendish family shone brightly in this light.

Having seen the three powerful witches of the Fifth Era, facing Miss Galina at this moment, Xia De could clearly feel the temperament belonging to a "witch," rather than just thinking it was a peculiar charm.

"Much better than last night. When Tifa drove the carriage and brought me back last night, in my half-dream and half-awake state, I seemed to have seen my late brother."

Xia De reacted for a while before understanding that she was talking about the previous Delarian King.

"I wish you good health. Oh, actually I am very curious, why did you rush out last night... I heard it from friends in the church."

Xia De asked, and the red-haired Duchess showed a reluctant smile, her tone still weak:

"Why did the church's High-Ring Ringed Shushi rush out?"

"Protecting this world from the Evil God is their responsibility."

"No, protecting this world from the Evil God is everyone's responsibility. I could have chosen to leave at that time. Without taking others, I might have rushed out of Tobeisk City alone, but what is the point? My family is all here, Tifa is also here, and the land under my feet was left by my ancestors. The church's Ringed Shushi have courage, could it be that I, Galina Cavendish, have no courage?"

This answer was very similar to the mindset of Xia De, who resolutely burned divinity last night. Although Miss Galina could not do what the church's High-Ring Ringed Shushi did, not fearing sacrifice, at least she would not escape alone.

"Moreover, I did the right thing at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have known, the Chosen... I know for you, life has only just begun for a month, and this city is not close to you. But living on, you will understand what I mean."

Xia De nodded. Seeing the Duchess's tone was weak but her emotions were high, he said again:

"Speaking of which, I have very good healing abilities, Miss Galina, do you need to try it?"

Injuries directly caused by the Evil God, by rights, could not be easily cured, even if Xia De was promoted to 2 rings. But Xia De's 【Gluttony】 was of the same origin as the 【Lord of Blood Banquet】, and he could even say he possessed part of the power of the 【Lord of Blood Banquet】, so this attempt was meaningful.

Miss Galina and the maid Tifa did not know this, but seeing Xia De so concerned about the injury, they did not refuse him.

So, the black-haired maid brought a cup of water. After Xia De summoned his life ring, while explaining that he was promoted to Second-Ring in the ruins operation last night, he pointed his finger at the cup of water.

Dazzling silver spiritual light shone on the water surface. After the maid carefully took it, she handed it to the Duchess. ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
