Chapter 625: Morning Princess

~10 min read 1,888 words

Although Xia De made a nest for Xiao Miya in the wardrobe with old clothes on Tuesday night, the orange cat was still quite unhappy early Wednesday morning.

After being let out by Xia De in the morning, she didn't pay much attention to him. Even if Xia De heated up the goat milk and put it in the bowl dedicated to Xiao Miya with cat food, she just called reservedly, and only walked over after Xia De returned to his seat.

Xia De never thought that he could see such a humanized performance from a cat.

Xia De, sitting at the table, carefully peeled the boiled egg, and then moved from his seat to the cat eating on the table under Xiao Miya's cautious gaze.

He divided the hot white egg from the middle, and the yellow yolk was even steaming.

Xiao Miya looked at the direction of the second room, then widened her eyes and looked at the egg yolk in Xia De's hand, tilting her head:

"Meow?"

"Want to eat?"

Xia De asked, and the cat blinked, calling gently:

"Meow~"

So Xiao Miya got an extra breakfast, and Xia De regained his cat's love.

【Do you need to be reminded that it is...】

"Yes, it's Miss Xiao Miya's cat, I know."

Pulling Xiao Miya's bowl to his hand, then stroking the well-behaved cat, Xia De sat back in his seat and unfolded the newspaper to read the report on the autumn harvest statistics of Tobesk this year. It seems that this year is a bumper year, and the grain production around Tobesk is quite good.

Ding-dong~

The doorbell rang downstairs. The cat with goat milk on her face looked at the direction of the stairs. Xia De touched Xiao Miya to let her rest assured. He stood up in surprise, looked down from the living room window, and saw a strange carriage parked downstairs.

"Oh, is there a client coming to the door today?"

Xia De was happy, but frowned slightly:

"It's only seven-thirty, what client is so anxious?"

Picking up the clothes on the coat rack at the door of the second floor, putting on an overcoat over his shirt, he went downstairs, and changed the slippers on his feet into leather shoes at the door:

"Please wait a moment."

Xia De shouted behind the door, removed the anti-theft chain of the door, pulled open the bolt inside the door, and then turned the doorknob.

Outside the door is the morning of Tobesk. The autumn fog and gray fog are mixed together, making the sky a bit gloomy. There are some pedestrians on St. Deran Plaza, but most of them are sleepy and in a hurry. In the distance, the child selling newspapers wearing a black hat is pestering a middle-aged man holding a briefcase, while the flower-selling girl is at the street corner, whispering to the noble lady poking her head out of the carriage.

The fog dyed this picture with some color, making this scene look like a street scene in a classical oil painting that has become reality. These century-old buildings on St. Deran Plaza stand in the center of the capital as usual, and the girl statue holding a water bottle still carries a smile in the dark morning of the misty fog.

The carriage stopped in front of 6 St. Deran Plaza. The carriage door had been opened. The red-haired girl in a black pleated floral skirt, together with the gem decorations on her skirt, added some special color to the oil painting of the morning street scene.

The red-haired girl smiled at Xia De:

"Good morning, Xia De, I hope I won't run into Lu Lu Weiya here."

Of course not, Lu Lu Weiya left very early. She didn't bring a change of clothes and had to go home to change clothes before going to the Diviner Society to work.

"Good morning, Lei Qianya."

Xia De said very unexpectedly. This should be the first time in a month since the Queen's birthday party that was accidentally interrupted by Dac Nisi that the two met... a physical meeting.

"Good morning, detective!"

Another voice said, and the sixteen-year-old princess who was a bit short also poked her head out of the carriage, it was Princess Angelina Cavendish, with a big smile on her face. The youthful face and the youthful clothing decorations made her very different from her sister.

"Why are you here... oh, please come in."

Realizing that it is best not to let too many people see Luvia and Angelina, Xia De gave up the position at the door and let the princesses enter the door. Two maids followed behind with their heads down, but Xia De hadn't seen them, probably these were the personal servants around the little princess.

The two princesses passed by Xia De one after another, and the hair tips swept across Xia De's shoulders. Luvia still had that familiar lily perfume smell, which was not very strong, and Xia De, who hated the ordinary perfume of this era, could accept it. Angelina had...

"Floral perfume."

Xia De couldn't distinguish different floral scents. He didn't have this ability. The perfume smell on Lei Qianya was what she said herself.

Nodding to the expressionless coachman, Xia De closed the morning of St. Deran Plaza, which was surrounded by fog, outside the door from the inside.

Although Lei Qianya hadn't been to 6 St. Deran Plaza herself, she had been here many times through Dorothy's body. Therefore, without Xia De leading the way, she walked at the forefront and went up the stairs first. This made the little princess who wanted to go to the first floor a little surprised, looked back at Xia De who was closing the door, but didn't say anything.

A group of people came to the living room on the second floor. Lei Qianya sat on the sofa naturally and asked the two maids to go to the kitchen to prepare tea. The cat, who saw a group of strangers coming to the house, was obviously very unaccustomed to this atmosphere. Because of fear, she didn't even pay attention to the remaining goat milk in the bowl, and ran to Xia De quickly when the maids approached the kitchen.

"Mr. Hamilton, are you having breakfast?"

The little princess was very curious about this place, but due to her "Royal Lady" status, she didn't look around, but sat obediently beside her sister.

Luvia's age was about the same as Dorothy's, both slightly older than Xia De's body. Speaking of which, in fact, Luvia's age was older than Luvia's. And sixteen-year-old Angelina still didn't have so many troubles, plus the sky-blue princess dress she was wearing today was a younger style, so she looked even younger.

"Yes, I usually eat breakfast at this time. Why are you here so early? Is there anything urgent?"

Xia De sat on a single sofa on one side.

"No urgent matter, it's because if it wasn't so early, I wouldn't be able to come here."

Lei Qianya said, scanning Xia De. She knew that Xia De broke into the Boundary of Life and Death:

"After Sax brother was sentenced to death, the affairs of the New Continent he originally managed always had to be taken over by someone..."

"Managed by you?"

"If that were the case, it would be great, but it is clear that in my father's eyes, I am not enough to handle these things."

"Lei Qianya sister has been responsible for handling diplomatic matters since returning from Kassenrik. Meeting foreign ambassadors, attending some banquets, or giving speeches in the Kingdom Parliament, it is probably this kind of thing."

Angelina said. Luvia, who successfully completed the southern visit on behalf of the royal family, successfully obtained greater power.

"Yes, yes, the taste of power is very good, but it also takes up time, fortunately I can handle it."

Lei Qianya showed a smile, and then the red-haired princess looked at Xia De again:

"I must go back before nine o'clock in the morning, and as for coming to see you so early, it's because last Saturday, you were busy saving your friends, didn't you miss our class?"

"That's it."

"So it must be made up. The matter of spiritual runes cannot be delayed, especially for you."

Xia De didn't speak, but looked at Angelina. Luvia shook her head:

"It doesn't matter, Angelina is trustworthy. And she is very talented, no, I don't mean she has become a Ring Mage. Angelina has had... very strong inspiration since she was a child." (Note)

"Yes, guessing the front and back of coins, as long as the data volume is large enough, I can reach a success rate of more than 80%!"

The little princess said, and then smiled at the cat shrinking in Xia De's arms, but the cat didn't pay attention to her at all.

"Oh, such strong inspiration?"

For this kind of ordinary person, it is almost certain that they will awaken at some point in the future. Of course, it is only "almost." It is possible that it is really just good luck.

"Then you guess this, let's guess ten times, how about it?"

Xia De took out the 【Standing Coin】. Dorothy mentioned to Xia De that he bought something from Midhillburg, so Lei Qianya also knew this:

"Don't bully my sister, this can only stand on the ground when thrown out. Xia De, let's talk about business, I want to entrust you to do some things."

"What thing?"

Xia De asked curiously. Lei Qianya took out a photo from her skirt pocket. It was a man in the uniform of the Delarion Royal Army. Judging from the epaulets, he was a lieutenant.

Flipping to the back of the photo, it was written "Windy Path - Red Water Camp First Company - Lieutenant Shutton."

"If you have time, help me investigate this person. No need to be very careful, just need to know if he has had any strange large expenses recently."

Xia De raised an eyebrow:

"No problem, this is very simple."

Yesterday he also helped the corporal who died in the 【Boundary of Life and Death】 return the pistol to Captain Ronald of the Red Water Camp. Unexpectedly, there was another mission related to there. Perhaps, he should take a trip to the traveler's camp next to the Red Water Camp in the Windy Path, and just happen to go into the mountain to find the hunter's sword.

"After getting your reply, I will give you appropriate rewards, no, don't refuse, you know I lack the least is pounds."

Lei Qianya waved her hand, but didn't explain what was wrong with Lieutenant Shutton, she talked about another thing:

"Regarding your 【Sleep】, in the class two weeks ago, we have already tried to read "Sleeping Princess", how is the progress recently?"

"Not bad, I try to copy the stories written in ancient characters every day, the parchment is in the drawer..."

Xia De emphasized again:

"This time, I didn't burn it."

Emphasizing this sentence is because the parchment containing the ancient texts of the fairy tales "Match Girl" and "Kiss of the Tree" provided by Lei Qianya were all destroyed by Xia De as the price for obtaining the maze. ===== CHAPTER 626 =====
