Chapter 990

When waking up on Monday morning, fine snowflakes were drifting outside the window. Winter in Tobesk was always snowy.

"Monday again."

Xia De yawned and climbed out of bed, washed up, and was thinking of going downstairs to hold the gift box, touch the gift of the week, and then eat breakfast, but unexpectedly, the sound of opening the door came from downstairs.

"Oh?"

He walked down the stairs curiously and saw Dorothy wearing heavy winter clothes, patting the snowflakes on her body. The blonde girl was wearing a red coat, a scarf around her neck, and there were snow marks on the toes of her lady's boots:

"The weather is really cold."

She complained, then shook the food box she was carrying in her left hand:

"Good morning, Xia De, I brought you breakfast."

"Good morning, Dorothy, is there anything you come to me so early?"

Xia De asked with great worry, but the blonde girl shook her head:

"Nothing much. I'm going to follow you all day today. Leisia asked me to supervise to ensure you won't forget what happens tonight."

Saying that, she herself laughed.

Not needing to prepare breakfast himself, Xia De was also very happy. He came to the dining room with Miss Writer and Little Mia, eating and chatting about the repertoire tonight, but just after breakfast, the door downstairs was knocked again:

"Who would come to visit you so early? I thought I was the only visitor today."

Dorothy asked curiously.

"Princess Margaret."

Xia De shrugged:

"I have something to talk to her about."

"Is it something I can know?"

"Of course you can know, but this is related to the Ringed Shushi. Are you sure you want to expose your identity?"

Miss Writer thought for a moment, then followed Xia De downstairs with him.

After opening the door, the one who walked off the carriage, braided her light golden long hair behind her head, wore a dark red thick cloth long skirt, and was waiting coldly for the maid and the coachman to settle the fare, was Princess Margaret Anjou.

"Good morning, Detective."

She said to Xia De who opened the door, and then saw the blonde girl holding a cat behind Xia De quite unexpectedly. She looked at her attire and then said again:

"Good morning, Miss Louisa."

"Good morning, Your Highness, no, Miss Mary."

Xia De changed his words, knowing from Princess Margaret's attire that she didn't want too many people to know she had come to Xia De's place.

The young detective stepped aside, and the foreign princess nodded to the maid behind her. The latter got on another carriage and left here; she was trying to find a way to cover up the princess's itinerary today.

Margaret Anjou did not enter No. 6 St. Deran Square immediately. She stood on the second step of the stairs, looked up at the full picture of the house, and then pursed her lips and entered the house. She was not thinking about why the female writer appeared here so early, but guessing whether the "apprentice" of Miss Sylvia also lived in a similar building.

The group of three came to the second floor. Because the dining room and the living room were not partitioned, Princess Margaret easily saw that the young detective was having breakfast with the blonde girl just now. She had further guesses about the relationship between the two, plus the rumors about Xia De and Miss Galina, the princess felt that she had a new understanding of the detective today.

"I invited Her Highness the Princess to come here to talk about some things. Dorothy, you also know this lady."

Xia De introduced, and then said again:

"Your Highness, this is Miss Dorothy Louisa, I think you should still remember her."

"Yes, we met at Lake View Manor."

Princess Margaret nodded, looking at the attire of the living room. It could be seen that she was very curious about this place.

"By the way."

Miss Writer revealed a smile:

"Xia De and I are Ringed Shushis in the same group."

Xia De raised his eyebrows. Although he was a bit surprised by Dorothy's approach, thinking about it carefully, it was nothing. Margaret Anjou could not leak their identities.

Instead, Princess Margaret was also a bit surprised:

"Oh, Miss Louisa, you are also from St. Byrons... So you appeared here so early, your relationship with Knight Hamilton is indeed unusual, this makes sense. Then Detective, have you ever said my identity?"

"Of course not, I promised to keep it secret."

Princess Margaret nodded and said with a serious expression:

"That's good, Miss Louisa, please allow me to introduce myself again."

She took off her white gloves and reached out to Dorothy:

"Margaret Anjou, a fourth-year student at the Schluch Lake Higher Medical College, but I should be promoted to the fifth year this winter."

Princess Margaret visited on Monday to inform Xia De about Sir Pulin, but it could be seen that she clearly didn't want to leave immediately, but wanted to ask Xia De about the investigation of the "solitary female shushi."

She was very friendly to Dorothy. The two met at Lake View Manor introduced by Leisia and got along very well. And students from the three major colleges were also partners who could cooperate with each other on the surface, so she didn't avoid Dorothy when talking to Xia De.

Xia De should not know Sir Pulin's identity at present, but this time Princess Margaret took the initiative to say that he was also a Ringed Shushi and introduced the process of the knight joining the Schluch Lake Higher Medical College.

She strictly kept the group's secrets, only saying the information that could be investigated in Winton Dai Er City.

Xia De also learned from this that Leggins Pulin awakened to become a Ringed Shushi at the age of 25. Just like his achievements in academics and poetry, the knight's talent in Ringed Shushi was extremely high. Not only did his level rise quickly, but he basically had no failed examples when learning strange arts and spells. During the exam week every year, the subjects he applied for could pass with excellent grades, and he was extremely good at reasoning, analysis, learning, and summarizing.

"He successfully promoted to 5 rings last week. The knight is probably the smartest person I have ever seen, just absent-minded when doing most things."

Princess Margaret said:

"He is always thinking about things that none of us know, often muttering to himself and not knowing what he is saying. Even when in Winton Dai Er, the knight almost never acted with us."

Although Xia De just wanted to collect the other party's aura, this description instead aroused his interest:

"Sir Pulin has a big secret?"

Princess Margaret looked at him vigilantly:

"Detective, I don't know what kind of commission you received, but the knight and I are in the same group, and I will not expose his personal privacy and secrets."

She indeed did not mention the composition of Sir Pulin's Ringed Shushi system and what relics he had on him.

"You probably think too much, I have no malice toward the knight."

Xia De was talking, and Dorothy brought the teapot and teacups over. Just now Xia De gave her a hint, and she didn't use the very expensive black tea Xia De bought. After all, that kind of black tea might make Princess Margaret think of a certain agent who was also in the nearby block.

"Speaking of which, Detective, are there any other strange people living in this block?"

Princess Margaret thanked Dorothy, as if she thought of this topic inadvertently:

"Male, usually not very noticeable, silent, should have a proper occupation."

"Is he also a Ringed Shushi?"

Xia De glanced at the study. All the materials left by Detective Sparrow were there.

"No, just an ordinary person."

"I don't have such a person in my impression, but if needed, I can help you investigate."

"No, no, this is not needed."

Princess Margaret shook her head hurriedly. If Xia De really investigated something, it would be terrible:

"Detective, you only need to investigate the female shushi I mentioned. If you are really interested in Sir Pulin, I can actually help you make an appointment for him to meet alone. The knight is a very easy-going person."

Her voice just fell, and the bell downstairs rang again. It was only eight o'clock in the morning, and the number of strangers visiting Xia De in one day today was almost catching up with the number of people in half a week.

Letting Dorothy entertain the princess upstairs, Xia De went downstairs with the cat at his feet. After opening the door, he saw that it was his superior, Mr. Dark Anluosi, the director of the Military Intelligence Agency, standing on the steps. Xia De subconsciously threw his hand to close the door.

"Oh!"

He took a breath, the slightly surprised expression on his face turned into a smile, and he opened the door again. Director Anluosi outside the door was wearing a very ordinary black coat, and the wide-brimmed hat was used to cover his face:

"What was that just now?"

This cautious gentleman asked, poked his head and looked behind Xia De. Xia De shook his head and pointed upstairs:

"I have guests upstairs, it's... a lady, let's talk on the first floor."

Director Anluosi nodded with an unchanging expression, as if he hadn't heard anything. This ordinary-looking but high-ranking gentleman followed Xia De into the door, stepped on the doormat a few times with his boots, and then turned into the living room on the first floor.

The two sat down on the sofa in the living room on the first floor. Although Xia De didn't often use the first floor, the maid ladies would conscientiously clean it every week, and it was very clean here.

He picked up Mia, and before Director Anluosi opened his mouth to speak, Xia De signaled him to lower his voice and pointed upstairs. Dark Anluosi nodded:

"There is nothing important. I originally thought about meeting you when you received your salary yesterday, but I didn't expect you to go in the morning. Looking for you this time, actually, there is nothing big."

Director Anluosi bent his fingers and knocked on the wooden armrest of the short sofa:

"We investigated that a group of principality independence elements wanted to take action against Princess Margaret in Tobesk."

"Principality independence elements" refer to organizations affiliated with Delarion that intend to seek the independent status of the principality. In this era when Delarion is prosperous, the difference between this organization and so-called terrorists is not big. Provoking a war between Delarion and Kassenrik is what they are most keen on.

"His Majesty asked me to ask you if any strange people have appeared around that Highness?"

"Sorry, this investigation did not go well. To be honest, the strangest person around that Highness is probably me."

Xia De said with regret, this is the truth:

"That Highness's itinerary is very tight. I only met her once at the reading salon on Wednesday, and because of this, I unfortunately got gas poisoning."
