Chapter 4089

Madame Butterfly was obviously very knowledgeable about leather items and also understood what Viggo wanted to do. She smiled lightly:

"Lady, this idea of yours is very good. But I want to remind you that even between girls and girls, you can have interesting games. You can actually try to let your male companion play a game like that with you. Maybe you will be fascinated by it because of this."

This topic was too bold for an unmarried girl. Viggo already felt her face was a bit red, but she still followed the original plan and said:

"That won't do, I can't bear to... that thing."

She recalled the feeling of the day before yesterday afternoon, lowered her voice, and the corners of her mouth bent unconsciously:

"Have you heard of that legend in Tobesk?"

Madame Butterfly was startled, and then showed a knowing smile:

"That lucky Duchess?"

Viggo said with some deep meaning:

"The luck I encountered is no worse than hers."

Madame Butterfly subconsciously looked at Xia De, slightly surprised. After smiling ambiguously at him, she showed an expression full of meaning again. She nodded gently and didn't say anything more:

"If you aren't exaggerating, then you are truly the luckiest lady in Arcadia City... Welcome to your arrival. How should I address you two later? This lady and this... Mr. Wrist?"

She laughed again, so Viggo answered:

"Call me Lady Redstone."

She specially used the title her mother had used. This wasn't because of lack of caution, but Viggo had already decided to inherit this code name. The Leatherworker of the Hall might have heard of this name, but Viggo didn't care. If the Leatherworker left because of this, she would instead look down on the 【Leather Item Hall】.

"That's fine, Lady Redstone. The activities arranged tonight are very exciting, but the invitation you hold allows you to only participate in some of the activities."

Madame Butterfly introduced with a smile:

"It's 7:00 now. You can chat with everyone here, or walk around to see the flowers in the greenhouse. Maybe you can meet a compatible friend. After 7:30, we will provide some special drinks. Some people will organize interesting gambling games, and some people will bring some interesting paintings to show everyone."

"Eight o'clock is the book reading club tonight. You are really lucky, Lady Redstone. That novel tonight is very exciting."

Currently, neither Xia De nor Viggo felt the whisper element. The Leatherworker might not have come yet, so they had to wait here for at least two hours.

Viggo nodded:

"This sounds very good. If it's interesting here, we can come often in the future. Besides the invitation given by friends, are there other ways to obtain invitations?"

"Of course. When this beautiful night ends, Lady Redstone, if you are willing to make some donations, then you can obtain an invitation for the next gathering. You will like it here. I wish you and this gentleman a good time."

Madame Butterfly didn't continue to disturb, and after instructing Viggo on some precautions, she left.

Viggo held Xia De's hand and leaned against him, looking in a very good mood. The two didn't leave from this sofa afterward, but chatted intimately while watching more and more guests walk into the greenhouse.

Xia De could easily find that the ladies who came here were generally not young. Although Viggo wasn't the youngest here, the guests of the club were obviously mostly over thirty years old.

The secret lovers of these noble ladies were mostly young officers, artists, diplomats, or even other nobles. As for how Xia De knew, of course, it was because Viggo recognized quite a few of them. Just wearing a mask wasn't enough to let Viggo not recognize who these people were.

"Unexpectedly! Even she would appear here to have an affair! The love story between her and her husband when she was young made the young girls of our generation very envious~ Marriage is really terrible."

Viggo evaluated everyone she recognized with the mood of watching the fun, and occasionally would tell Xia De some interesting things. When she was happy, she would even shrink into Xia De's arms and laugh. This was a very affectionate performance in the eyes of others.

Although the greenhouse was well-lit, there were some just-right shadow areas near the flower stands. Men and women were leaning against each other, whispering, holding hands, and kissing semi-publicly. Xia De even saw two ladies holding hands sit down, and Viggo didn't react much to this situation:

"Compared to having an affair, just being the same sex is nothing."

Although Madame Butterfly said that interesting drinks would be provided at 7:30, the club also provided drinks before that. It was just that unlike the fruit juice, wine, and champagne at normal gatherings, this place also provided brandy and some alcoholic beverages that were generally considered unsuitable for ladies to drink in social significance.

And after appropriate drinking, many people took off their tight corsets and loosened their waistbands, sitting in a very relaxed way, which was absolutely not allowed in public occasions.

And as time passed, more and more guests who came to the club after Xia De and Viggo also came. There were quite a few seats left beside the sofa occupied by the two, so quite a few people sat down one after another.

These people, who either knew each other or were strangers, started chatting with each other, and during this period, the men all kept their mouths shut and didn't say a word.

The chat content of the ladies wasn't as wild as imagined, and not even as unrestrained as the "afternoon tea parties of noble ladies" that Galina participated in after knowing Xia De.

They shared "my friend," "I heard," the husband and lover's secrets of "the neighbor next door," shared gossip about who was seduced by whom, who was keeping a lover outside, and who was neglected by her husband.

And besides these anecdotes, they also chatted about some private topics of ladies, but only limited to aphrodisiac forbidden perfumes, magical fabrics from Willundale, and some beautiful clothes that were forbidden but didn't cross the line.

Xia De wasn't very clear about how Sylvia's invention was classified as "aphrodisiac items," but the topics of the ladies here were indeed much more normal than he thought.

"She" reminded with a smile:

【In the presence of men, they won't say those topics that are too exposed.】

Xia De suddenly realized. The afternoon tea party that Galina was invited to was only for ladies, and now it wasn't that situation.

Viggo integrated into the conversation perfectly. She was originally knowledgeable, and recently because of Xia De's appearance, she had dabbled in many knowledge she didn't understand before, so she was quite handy when talking about these topics that ladies shouldn't mention on weekdays.

Coupled with the affectionate appearance of Viggo and Xia De, no one would doubt what her purpose of coming here was anymore.

And while Viggo was talking to other ladies, Xia De had been paying attention to the surroundings. He didn't find too many abnormalities, but he saw Mr. Bernhardt also come here. His female companion was a lady Xia De didn't know. The other party was also a high-level blood-sucking species, and he thought she should also be a visitor from Willundale.

Mr. Bernhardt, wearing a mask, also captured Xia De's gaze. Although the mask given by "Desire" made Mr. Bernhardt unable to recognize him, this blood-sucking species Viscount guessed Xia De's identity based on instinct. But the two just nodded to each other and didn't do more communication.

"Pseudo-Humans didn't appear, and there is no target suspected to be Viggo's mother here... are they not coming?"

At 7:30, the club's activities officially began. A secret door on one side of the greenhouse was opened, and a maid pushed a dining cart full of glass cups to this place, and in the center of the dining cart was an ice bucket, which was covered by a white cloth.

Everyone stopped talking, and Madame Butterfly came to the lotus pond in the center of the greenhouse and said to everyone with a smile:

"Ladies, as the host tonight, I represent the 'Charming Lady Club' to welcome everyone's arrival. This romantic and beautiful night has begun again. Please relax here to your heart's content. Of course, the drinks for this time have also been prepared."

The white cloth was uncovered, and several crystal wine bottles were inserted in the ice bucket. The liquid in the wine bottles was bright red. The maids filled the "red wine" in the high-footed cups according to the number of people, and then sent them to the hands of every lady. The men who accompanied the ladies didn't have any.

And while the servants were busy, the people who were originally sitting and talking also started their own activities.

The ladies gathered together to play Luo De cards with some jewelry as stakes. Someone took out sketchbooks and booklets they collected that contained content unsuitable for children for everyone to appreciate, and even quite a few ladies gathered together to perform divination with divination cards. This was also a very indecent behavior in the eyes of the outside world.

The original violin sound also stopped. In the harmonica sound, the girl wearing an eye mask began to sing local folk songs about free love and elopement.

The atmosphere was really quite good, but Viggo didn't participate in any activities and still sat on the sofa leaning intimately against Xia De. The maid also sent that bright red drink to her. Maybe it was because Madame Butterfly had instructed in advance, the maid also reminded Viggo:

"Lady Redstone, this kind of drink can only be drunk by ladies. It helps to improve sleep and improve skin condition."

"I understand."

Viggo responded, and looked at Xia De after the maid left. Xia De nodded slightly.

This drink in Viggo's hand was really red wine, but there were obviously blood components in it. That wasn't human blood, but animal blood essence made through some secret method of blood-sucking species. Drinking it after being a normal person was indeed good for the body. This should also be one of the fish baits that the club used to continuously attract various ladies in the local area to participate in activities.

Purifying blood was almost an instinct talent for blood-sucking species, and the red wine made in this way was the "blood brew" in the true sense. The "blood brew" made by Xia De was almost the same as the myths and legends for blood-sucking species.
