Chapter 2834
Xia De decided to spend all his time today telling stories to Aimiya, so he did not leave the hotel after saying goodbye to Yin Yi Yi Lu Na in the morning.
After lunch, Miss Dannister received news from the academy and went to the forest again to bring back a batch of ritual materials that might be used tonight. When she returned from the forest, Flora was talking to Xia De about Miss Beilinder:
"Bella's business in Moon Bay is almost finished. She said she could arrive here on the weekend or next Monday. If you ask me, she is really not easy. Now the future of the entire Moon Bay is almost in her hands alone. It's fine for her sisters to help, but the decision still has to be made by herself."
The red-haired girl who walked into the door then asked:
"I heard that Moon Bay has just finished a new round of City Hall elections. The Beilinder family led by Miss Bella Beilinder has achieved the greatest victory in ten centuries. She herself has now become the Speaker of the City Council, right?"
The witch on the small sofa nodded lazily:
"Yes. The greatest power in Moon Bay is not in the hands of the Mayor, but in the hands of the Speaker of the City Council. It is probably because the citizens saw that the post-disaster reconstruction of Moon Bay City and the actions of communicating the north-south trade routes led by her were all very smooth, that they chose her..."
Saying that, she looked at Xia De, who was holding a teacup:
"Or as Miss Jia Lin Na and the others said, it is because this generous gentleman gave the legal principle of ruling Moon Bay to the beautiful Countess as a token of love. Xia De, don't rush to speak, I am not being sarcastic to you.
I just want to say that there are really not many generous people like you. You should know what Moon Bay being called the 'City of Wealth' actually means."
Miss Dannister was hearing about this for the first time. After she sat down, she asked about it with great interest, so Flora repeated the little story she had heard.
"That is not a token of love, just an ordinary gift. I know this gift might be a bit precious, but Moon Bay was originally maintained by the seven great families. In order for the lives of the local citizens to remain unchanged or even become better, I don't need to make myself the 'King' there."
Xia De defended himself, but obviously, the artist lady still preferred to understand his actions as a kind of "luxurious romance," and believed that the great witch of fate, who always talked about "fate" and "future," probably became what she is now because she saw Xia De's sincerity.
The news that Miss Beilinder and Matilda are coming soon is of course very good. The great witch of fate just advanced to the twelfth tier this summer, and although the value of a diviner cannot be easily judged by rank, obviously a brilliant diviner will be very popular everywhere.
For example, witches are generally stronger than Luweiya, but everyone is very convinced by Luweiya.
【Is it really because of this reason?】
In short, Xia De stayed in the hotel all Friday without going out, but the witches were busy dealing with various things.
Now that Miss Jia Lin Na is resting in bed, Vanessa went into the woodland with Xivi to explore the mithril vein; Miss Silvia, who had just arrived locally, was busy maintaining the portal that had already been established with Dorothy. Because of the local temporal instability, the portal was also affected.
Grandma Cassandra was responsible for logistics, so the only witch left with nothing to do was Flora.
She therefore shouldered the task of contacting the church, so she was also not in the hotel in the afternoon.
And around four o'clock in the afternoon that day, Margaret finally appeared before Xia De's eyes. Although the "large-scale sleep event" last night caused some ripples, this had nothing to do with Margaret. She was held back by the nobles who kept coming to visit—obviously, the probability of Margaret Anjou inheriting the throne is much greater than William Anjou's.
Xia De was originally still talking to Aimiya. Seeing Margaret come, the pointed-eared elf girl stood up and said she would go find Miss Dannister to talk again. She didn't forget to close the door when she left, and the princess's maid also stayed outside the door very sensibly.
"Xia De!"
Margaret did not spare a warm kiss to Xia De:
"After you left last night, I was really worried for a while. But I knew you would definitely be able to solve the problem, and I also saw your figure standing in front of the moon... But this is the first time I have seen you wear a red tailcoat."
"I actually don't like that kind of clothes very much."
"I also feel that you are more suitable for black clothes. It's probably because you usually only wear dark clothes. I'm really sorry, I can't come here to help for the time being."
She stood on tiptoe slightly and rubbed her face against Xia De's face:
"Father sent me to Vista Woodland, on one hand, to clean up the mess my brother made and suppress public opinion, and on the other hand, to let me confirm whether the one he killed is really our brother."
"Are you going to see that corpse?"
Xia De asked, and Margaret nodded gently:
"It's not like I haven't seen corpses before, but in this way, I'm afraid I'll have to be busy for a while longer. Just now I went to see Teacher Bernice first, and Teacher asked me to finish my private affairs as soon as possible and come to help.
Now Miss Lasers is in Toby Sike City, and Teacher doesn't have any useful helpers by her side."
"Siris will also come next week. You go and do your things first. However, does your father suspect that the deceased is not that illegitimate child?"
Xia De originally thought this matter had already ended, and Margaret was not very sure either:
"Although Father gave me the power to mobilize the Gray Gloves, he didn't say why he suspected that there was a problem with the deceased. He probably has other private intelligence officers of his own."
She looked at Xia De with a smile again:
"However, if I can handle this matter cleanly this time, Father promised me that he could let me take over part of the power of the Gray Gloves later."
"Promise?"
Xia De asked like this. Margaret of course knew what Xia De meant. She hammered Xia De lightly:
"Don't think that those in power are the kind in the stories... you know. Although Father is also a qualified King, he can basically fulfill the promises he makes to us children. Xia De, if I can really take over the Gray Gloves this time, then I will..."
Brown eyes looked at Xia De with spirit:
"I will give you a raise!"
Xia De laughed:
"Okay, in this way I can buy better cat food for Little Mia. Then now, Margaret, please allow me to thank you on behalf of Little Mia."
Saying that, he took the initiative to kiss Margaret again. The very passionate Princess Highness pulled his clothes tightly. Xia De felt that if she used a little more force, his clothes would really be torn.
Because Aimiya was leaving tonight, everyone gathered at the Accordion Hotel to eat that night, and even Miss Yi Laise came—Miss Jia Lin Na was stationed at the Radiant Messenger.
One table couldn't even seat so many people. Aimiya originally wanted to thank everyone who came to see her off one by one, but was pulled by Dorothy with a smile:
"It's not too late to thank them after you come back."
The professors of the academy and the elves didn't come to see Aimiya off, because for the sake of safety, Miss Dannister didn't even notify them that the time for Aimiya to leave was tonight, and even Grandma Qishala didn't know about tonight's matter.
The elf in the forest said she wanted to send Aimiya away through the ritual she prepared, so after dinner, Xia De took everyone and set off from Yulun Lake.
Except for him, who was carrying 【Night Watchman】, Miss Dannister and Luweiya also went to see her off. Besides that, Xia De didn't even let Ajielina follow. At seven o'clock that night, the group had already arrived under the tree house, surrounded by little Liana and the chocobos.
The elf girl was also ready to set off. When she jumped down from the second floor of the tree house, she was also carrying a cross-body cloth bag. And if Aimiya wasn't overly nervous at this time, she should have been able to discover that the cross-body bag was exactly the same as the small bag she prepared to take to the past, except for the color.
"Are we going to walk a long way?"
The pointed-eared elf asked the pointed-eared elf, so the pointed-eared elf answered:
"Yes, fortunately we have mounts."
The elves beckoned to the little unicorn at the same time, so little Liana immediately walked toward them, and then hesitated, not knowing who she should walk to. The azure blue big eyes were full of hesitation, hooves went left and then right, and finally, the elf who was taller said:
"Little Liana should be able to bear the weight of both of us."
Xia De, Miss Dannister, and Luweiya each chose a chocobo. Xia De chose the yellow one because its fur was somewhat similar in color to Little Mia's cat fur. Fortunately, that cat didn't come now, so it wouldn't express any opinion on Xia De's choice.
The little unicorn led the way in front, and the three chocobos followed behind them. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na was right, riding a chocobo didn't require any skill at all, and it was even simpler than riding a horse.
Xia De sat astride the back of the chocobo that ran fast, while Luweiya and Miss Dannister both sat sideways. Under the condition that little Liana didn't deliberately speed up, the chocobos could completely keep up with the figure of the unicorn under the moon.
The little beast looked like it was running quite happily. After all, in the academy, Aimiya and its elders didn't allow it to run around like this. On the moonlit night of late autumn, the moonlight shone on the woodland from above the bare forest, and the holy white fur of the little unicorn appeared even more eye-catching because of this.
Aimiya sat behind the elf girl in the forest, holding her waist to stabilize herself. The wind brushed past both sides of her cheeks, bringing bone-chilling coolness. Looking back, one yellow and two blue chocobos followed very closely, and Xia De, who was leaning low, even smiled at her.
Thus, Aimiya inexplicably felt that she was no longer so nervous. She was being taken to the future at this time, but the real destination was the past. When the little elf hugged the elf in front tightly, she suddenly felt that from the first time she met Xia De in the Randall Valley until the journey she was about to face now, the wonderful experiences of less than a year seemed to have already become her whole life.
