Chapter 2919: The Night Banquet of the Radiant Messenger

The snow that had been falling for a whole day had turned all the roofs in the field of vision outside the window into silver-white. At this time, only the last line of the sunset remained on the horizon. The two ladies on the sofa were holding teacups, and even Miss Bell was not there for the time being.

"Actually, I'm curious, what are your thoughts on Xia De?"

Flora took advantage of the topic being opened and finally asked the question she had been wondering about for some time:

"Look at me, my relationship with Xia De has progressed by leaps and bounds during this time, and I haven't hidden myself. But Danister, what are your thoughts? This is not a joke; your thoughts on Xia De are not simple either, right?"

The red-haired girl turned her head to look out the window, a melancholy expression on her face:

"This is immoral. I am a professor at St. Byrons."

The witch lady reminded softly:

"Morality? How do I remember that for the apprenticeship system, even if you called him to your room tonight, it would only be considered as a teacher exercising her power?"

The red-haired girl pursed her lips again:

"I have also considered similar questions recently. There are actually many people around Xia De who care about him; he doesn't necessarily need me..."

"... You just turned into a young girl, it doesn't mean you have to talk like the protagonists of those disgusting teenage romance novels."

Flora, as an artist, did not like the straightforward stories written to satisfy the imagination of teenage girls:

"In my opinion, you actually haven't thought about your future, right? Whether to keep the age of eighteen forever, looking younger than him, or to be able to return to your original appearance in the near future, becoming that elegant and intellectual librarian."

This time the red-haired girl didn't say anything, just stared out the window. The indoor light made her face clearly reflected on the glass, so the owl looked at the face on the glass and said:

"If you want to wait until this matter has a result before making plans, then I'm afraid the little snacks will be snatched up by others."

"Little snacks?"

"This is a metaphor used by witches. You can understand it as: you don't make a decision, it doesn't mean others don't. Danister, you are a real eighteen-year-old now. For love, eighteen-year-old girls can do anything."

"But that's not necessarily love."

"Not love... You wouldn't be trying to say that your feelings for Xia De are just pure desire, right?"

So Miss Owl was really hit by a throw pillow, but she wasn't angry at all; instead, she laughed very happily.

Ajelina was the last to know the news of Amelia's return. This was not because the little princess had poor popularity and no one shared the news with her, but because she was a guest of the elves in the woods that evening, and by the way, she was playing with the little unicorn and the fluffy chocobo, so she heard the news from the maid when she came back.

"Has Amelia changed a lot now?"

At this time, the three of Xia De had not returned, so Ajelina asked Vanessa, the only one who had seen her, half-worried and half-expectant. The latter was asking Ajelina for advice on clothing; Vanessa no longer understood how fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls should dress for formal banquets nowadays.

"The change is huge. I didn't expect her to be able to achieve such a big leap."

The little witch said this to the floor-to-ceiling mirror. She thought Ajelina was asking about the elf's level, not knowing that the little princess was actually more concerned about other things.

Welcoming the arrival of the ancient witch was a big deal for the ladies of the Council, and it was also a big deal for Miss Danister of St. Byrons, so everyone got busy. Ajelina, who was full of worries, was then grabbed by Dorothy to change clothes.

The maids arranged the banquet hall very neatly, and as for the meals for tonight's banquet, there was no need to worry. Ajelina was arranged to wait in the banquet hall, and only Luvia, Miss Danister, and the Great Witches went to the deck to welcome them—too many people appearing would surprise other ships on Lake Yulon.

They didn't wait long before someone brought news from the deck:

"Xia De and the others are back. You can let the kitchen prepare to serve the food."

Ajelina, who had already sat down, followed the witch apprentices to the door of the banquet hall to prepare for the welcome. The sound of high heels colliding with the floor of the cabin corridor soon came, and Xia De's voice introducing the identities of the Great Witches to someone also clearly sounded.

Ajelina stood beside Miss Hayley Aurora and in front of Miss Swift. She watched a group of people flood into the banquet hall and saw the "blonde" elf beside Xia De.

Tall, beautiful, gentle, intellectual, generous, and graceful, with an eye-catching figure above her slender waist, and absolute confidence brought by power on her smiling face. The silver headband complemented her long golden hair, and the silver and yellow crescent-shaped pendants hanging from the pointed ears on both sides made Ajelina guess that her elven friend was playing a little trick.

The exquisite and elegant dress did not match the little princess's impression of her friend's dressing style at all, and that figure, physique, temperament, and charm undoubtedly showed that "Amelia's" change was really huge.

Even with mental preparation, Ajelina still gasped, and then her body tilted backward subconsciously, but fortunately, she was supported by Miss Swift, who was puzzled by what was wrong with her.

Ajelina was definitely not unable to see others doing well, and certainly not hoping that her friend would not be better than herself, but this time the elf was really...

"Everyone, come over. Let me introduce you to Miss Blaney O'Lannod. I have mentioned this lady before."

Xia De greeted everyone to gather around, and Ajelina, who heard the unfamiliar name, immediately stood straight from the "leaning backward" posture:

"Not Amelia?"

She stood on tiptoe slightly to look, and Amelia, who was exactly the same as in her memory, was clearly following behind Xia De, and the lady beside Xia De, looking carefully, didn't seem to be a pure-blooded elf either.

She subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and then walked over with a smile.

Miss Hayley Aurora, who witnessed this series of changes beside her, was quite puzzled, while Miss Swift, who had figured it out, showed a smile.

For Miss O'Lannod, everyone still held a considerable degree of respect and curiosity. Miss Feilian and Fiona were both principals recorded in the history of the academy, and although the librarian lady was not famous, everyone knew that since the librarian position had continued to this day and was still almost on par with the principal position, the first librarian could definitely not be an ordinary character.

Although the preparation time was short, the banquet was still grand. Miss Danister notified the academy that Amelia had returned, but did not say who had returned with her. However, Granny Qishala, who was ultimately worried about Amelia, came to the ship during the banquet after getting permission, and thus saw Miss O'Lannod:

"A descendant of the Long-Leaf Elves... an elf who worships the moon."

However, the old elf did not get a chance to talk to the ancient witch. Moreover, she came this time mainly to confirm Amelia's current state.

Amelia was originally chatting happily with Ajelina about her experiences over the past two years because she had finally returned to a familiar place and met familiar people. Then, when she looked up and saw Granny Qishala walking toward her, she was so scared that the cup in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Even if she had traveled a long way, even if she had obtained powerful strength, the little elf was still a little elf in front of her elders.

"Xia De, do you remember when we last met?"

On one side of the banquet hall, the yellow-haired witch in a goose-yellow evening dress and Xia De in a black suit stood in front of the porthole, looking at the snowy Lake Yulon outside the window. The moon was hidden behind the dark clouds, and the snowy night looked very calm.

The cat squatted obediently on Xia De's shoulder. This reunion night was really too beautiful for the outsider.

"From my timeline, it was the time I sent Fiona back from the City of Eternal Night."

Xia De said, and then added:

"As for the last time we talked so calmly, it dates back to the encounter in the Dead Silence Valley - Gadis Library."

"Yes, but thinking about it carefully, that wasn't too long ago either."

Miss O'Lannod's voice was very soft. She held a wine glass in her left hand, and the fingers of her drooping right hand hooked Xia De's left little finger:

"Fiona and I, and Samuel, the witch of the Zaras Society, watched you come through the snow by the fire, and finally we parted with you in the snow... The rose you finally left for Teacher Feilian, Teacher put it in the vase on the bedside table for a long time before making it into a specimen."

"Sorry, last time I..."

"I'm not blaming you for only giving flowers to Teacher. Compared to flowers, of course, I prefer chatting with you by the fire."

She turned her head, her bright orange-yellow eyes looking at Xia De:

"But this time, you should have extra roses, right? When little Fiona left you, she also took away a red rose."

This should refer to the summer. At that time, Xia De was dating the ancient witches in Tobesk. The witch in the purple dress got a violet, and the red dragon got a fiery red rose (Chapter 2498).

"I have prepared many roses for you this time."

Xia De said, reached into his pocket, and really took out a bright red rose.

Blaney O'Lannod smiled very gently. She took the flower and looked behind Xia De. In the banquet hall, which was resplendent under the crystal chandeliers, although most of the girls were surrounding Amelia to listen to her share stories and experiences, their eyes would look at the two people in front of the porthole from time to time:

"Yes, it seems you really have many red roses."

Xia De looked at her with burning eyes:

"Now I not only have red roses, but also a bright yellow moon." ===== CHAPTER 2920 =====
