Chapter 3657
However, although she said she was not worried, early Tuesday morning, Tifa still knocked on the bedroom door of Room 1 on the second floor, which was very rare, after arranging for the maids to prepare breakfast.
Knock knock knock~
The time was 6:40 in the morning, ten minutes past the 6:30 when Xia De was woken up by the "Little Mia alarm clock" every day.
"What's wrong?"
Xia De's voice responded to the knock, so Tifa asked cautiously:
"Excuse me, does breakfast start on time today?"
"Yes, we will get up immediately."
Then came the Duchess's voice:
"Don't~ lie with me for a while, the sky hasn't brightened yet."
Hearing the familiar voice of the hostess, the maid chief felt relieved. However, she didn't leave immediately, but stood at the door and listened for a while, before returning to the kitchen with a blush on her face a moment later.
In order not to get up so early, the Duchess obviously showed her true skills.
In short, no matter what happened at night, at least the tears were in hand. However, no matter how hard Xia De tried, the tears a person could produce were limited after all. Before breakfast started, he melted the tears that had been frozen into ice crystals, and then under the gaze of the Duchess and Miss Writer, he carefully dripped them onto the 【Immortal Flower】.
The tears slid down the crystal-clear leaves of the flower, but nothing happened.
"Is it because tears must be used immediately and cannot be stored? Or is there a problem with the method given by your history professor friend?"
The Duchess said this, and even wanted to propose to try again tonight, but Miss Writer pointed out:
"Perhaps the tears of true love are not obtained this way. I admit that these tears indeed contain enough emotion, but besides burning love, there are other burning emotions."
"But 'that kind' of emotion, isn't it also a part of love?"
The Duchess asked, and Miss Writer admitted this point:
"But it's still not pure enough. I think the tears of true love probably still need the purest love emotion to condense... for example, how about the tears at the wedding?"
The red-haired witch blinked:
"If Xia De doesn't object, I don't mind holding a secret wedding in the county... I mean a collective secret wedding."
The Outsider, who was preparing to open the newspaper, nodded:
"Collective wedding? Of course."
The Duchess couldn't even fully understand the meaning of Xia De's words at this moment. She felt a blank space in her head, and when she fully understood Xia De's meaning, she noticed that her breathing had become rapid.
"Don't~ calm down, Auntie, everyone has no time to prepare for any collective wedding now, and for the future, Lu Lu Weiya will not agree to Xia De getting married now."
The blonde girl reminded, and Princess Adrina, who was spreading jam on bread in the Yodel Palace, noticed that her sister seemed to be a bit absent-minded just now.
The Duchess in No. 6 St. Theresa Square finally took a few deep breaths to adjust her mood:
"I know it's too late, no one will be satisfied with a hasty preparation, and for the future, Lu Lu Weiya will not agree that it is now... then can I take Xia De's nod just now as our engagement?"
"Auntie!"
Princess Lei Qianya was quite dissatisfied:
"We won't discuss this topic for the time being, don't destroy the harmonious atmosphere of the family."
"Yes, yes, but this is a major life event for everyone after all... then how should we find the tears of true love? Didn't Xia De say last night that if we can break the love spell on the island, the story of the fifth act will end more smoothly?
This kind of tears cannot be bought by adding money on the black market. Xia De, do you have any other methods? Using illusions to create suitable scenes, or weaving moving stories in dreams, how about that?"
"These are all fake."
Xia De touched little Mia, and then said to them:
"Also, of course we can count as engaged. I don't have any elders or relatives here, so I don't need to ask for other people's opinions. I don't know much about the customs of engagement in the Tobesk area. Does engagement require any ceremony or ritual?"
The Duchess tried hard not to laugh too happily:
"You have your promise, it does require an engagement ceremony, but not now. Princess Lei Qianya is right, it is far from the time now. Go do what you have to do, everything at home is fine, we won't cause trouble behind your back. Don't mention the topic we just discussed to others, this topic is not suitable to be raised now."
Miss Writer also said:
"As for the engagement ceremony that may exist in the future, Xia De, in fact, the only thing you need to worry about is that there are too many people, so it is good to find a suitable venue. If according to local customs, the elders of both sides need to come forward..."
She gave Xia De a smile, and Xia De understood what she meant. Thinking carefully about that scene, Mr. Snake seemed to be no longer a big problem.
But imagining that kind of scene, the happiness that made the Outsider absent-minded even gave him a sense of unreality:
"Can I really get so much?"
【Yes, you deserve it.】
"She" said gently, and the cat also rubbed Xia De's hand while waiting for breakfast. No matter who it was, they were treating the Outsider who came from afar gently.
After breakfast, Xia De didn't rush to leave the local area, but went to the Dawn Church to visit Priest Ao Gu Si:
"Priest, I might ask you for help at any time in the next few days to deal with the troublesome woman I mentioned."
"No problem, I am always in the church, you can send someone to find me."
And when he returned home and prepared to go to the snow mountain, little Mia, who hadn't been out much for many days, finally wanted to follow Xia De out. Seeing that the cat didn't stay at home, Miss Writer followed Xia De to the snow mountain:
"See if I can help with anything. Anyway, it's the end of the month, and this month's manuscript has been handed over to the editorial department of the "Steam Bird Daily." What, next month? Oh, Xia De, next month's manuscript is something to consider next month, let's not think so far."
But in fact, this Sunday is next month.
The sky over Schluch Lake was still gloomy. Xia De and Miss Writer appeared at Sylvia's tower and found that the tower door was open. After Xia De walked in, the young black-haired witch immediately rushed over:
"Surprise!"
She smiled and hugged Xia De's neck, and seeing Miss Writer was also there, she greeted her with a smile:
"Good morning, Miss Writer."
"Good morning, are you ready to stay on Schluch Lake for a long time?"
"Yes, I won't leave until the story of fate ends. Margaret has already taken people to the town, and next, my girls will live in that ice castle, responsible for protecting that transportation hub."
The number of Sylvia's followers has doubled compared to when Xia De first met her in the late autumn of 1853. On the one hand, because her level has reached the eleventh stage, and on the other hand, because she is very rich now.
And the latter is probably the main reason.
"Can Margaret also leave the capital for a long time? Even if her father has no opinion, but being far away from the political center will definitely miss many things, right?"
Especially since the only possible heirs to the Anjou royal family are Margaret and her two brothers. The married sister, the underage brother, and the illegitimate brother found last year obviously have no possibility of competing for the throne.
Sylvia smiled and replied:
"That's why it's delayed until now. Everyone is waiting for the bad weather in winter to pass. This period is the last calm before the war. Besides, Margaret has her own things to do on this island. Don't forget that the delegation is still here, but those are all trivial matters.
Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's go to the town of Kexi. Far away from the big city, breathing fresh air on such a remote island is really not bad.
Oh, Xia De, the beautiful clothes you showed us last time, I have already asked the tailors of 'Gorgeous Cloth Workshop' to reproduce them. Although the feel may not be as good as the weakened version of the maze you changed, at least the appearance is not much different. In a while, do you want to go and see?"
Sylvia's arrival was also welcomed by everyone, and Margaret, who had not seen Xia De for a long time, really couldn't control herself and kissed Xia De directly if there weren't so many people present.
Although Sylvia had just arrived on the island, she was immediately pulled by Flora to help locate the "Lover" based on the traces of mental power. Xia De first gave Professor Manning's reply to Claire for her to send home, and then found Lu Lu Weiya and Bella to tell them about the information Professor Manning gave about the "Love Spell."
Because Bella was also there, Xia De didn't say the attempt with the Cavendish ladies last night, but looking at Lu Lu Weiya's expression, she obviously guessed it.
That beautiful "Immortal Flower" was also brought to the ship by Xia De, because of the Year-End Festival gift, everyone knew this relic. After the two witch diviners finished listening to Xia De's story, they threw dice and drew a few divination cards:
"The information provided by Professor Manning is very important. The information he described is indeed related to breaking the 'Love Spell.' Finding the tears of true love is the most important step to break the spell."
Xia De now only has one special coin left that he found in the ruins at the top of the mountain. Xia De also considered whether to directly divine to obtain the way to obtain the materials, but Lu Lu Weiya obviously didn't have this intention:
"Although breaking the love spell between Viscount Fu De and that woman might make the story of the fifth act end more smoothly, the movement of the sixth act is about to begin, and the seventh act's card playing may happen at any time. It is better to keep the coin to deal with more important problems."
Lu Lu Weiya's meaning was to let Xia De deal with other things first. As for the ancient fate magic spell, she and Bella would find a way to deal with it:
"Even if it is really necessary to use the tears of true love, with so many girls who like you here, can't we find even a drop of tears?" **CHAPTER 3658** **【3658-0】 Chapter 3702: Fate Impact**
