Whispering Verse Chapter 693

Witches, for whatever reason, always hated men, and so treated all men except Shad.

"Lady Cassandra."

The one who entered was a fancy-dressed middle-aged man, with a red dress decorated with fancy medals and a flower pinned to his reddish-brown hair. He was wearing a pair of dark red trousers on his lower body, and a pair of white stockings on his legs. The socks wrapped the trousers up to the knees, which looked particularly eye-catching.

He is about the same height as Shad, but thinner than Shad:

"Good evening, Ms. Cassandra, hey, are there any guests?"

The "Earl Dalac of Campbell" was very polite. Seeing Miss Aurora sitting opposite Granny Cassandra, he stood at the door and did not rush in. Of course, he also saw Shad standing by the wall, but he took him as the background decoration in this picture as a matter of course.

"Let me introduce you. This is Viscount Aurora from Carsonrick."

Granny Cassandra introduced.

"Is that Miss Xiwei Aurora from the Aurora family? The elegant flower of Canberra, the lady who gallops the ocean."

The count greeted Miss Aurora with a smile, and the latter just nodded indifferently. .

"Then, my lord, what's the matter?"

Grandma Cassandra asked again.

"Want to talk to you about business matters, but since you have guests, I'll come back later."

He bowed slightly to the ladies, but did not turn away immediately. Instead, he took off his gloves and bowed and saluted with a complex set of movements:

"Oh, Miss Aurora of Cassandra, welcome to Fort Midhill. I don't know, is it an honor to invite you to have a dance later? We can have a chat, I am in the west of Delarion holiday estate."

According to Xia De's understanding of the witches, they would probably politely refuse when they have a good temper. But this time, Miss Aurora turned her head slightly and glanced at Xia De, the corners of her lipsticked mouth curled up, revealing a smile.

This kind of smile Xia De has also seen on Miss Galina's face, which means that the witch has a "good idea".

"Count, unfortunately, I have already been asked to dance, a young man from Tobesk, yes, very young, and also a nobleman, and it is said that he has an unusual relationship with the royal family. He has invited me .but......"

She smiled and pointed to Xia De behind her:

"This is my bodyguard. The young man from Tobesk is as brave as my bodyguard. If you can defeat my faithful servant, I think I can decline the young man's invitation."

Xia De knew that the witch was looking for fun.

"That's nice."

Earl Dallak raised his head excitedly and looked at Shad who was just in the background.

First of all, he realized that the "bodyguard" had an outstanding appearance, and then he saw the two pistols on Xia De's waist.

After a moment of hesitation, he immediately shook his head:

"I am proficient in rapiers, but we don't need to use force at the fire worship party, it will spoil the atmosphere of this romantic bonfire banquet. However, I am still looking forward to dancing with you, so, I don't know if I can be faithful to you Servant, another way of displaying valor."

"what way?"

asked the Witch, but Shad could hear that she was losing patience.

"Rod Card."

The witch immediately laughed:

"Of course, then Watson, go and play with the earl. Remember... don't lose too badly."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xia De came from the wall and took out his Rhodes deck from his pocket. One hand is pulled in the air, the other hand is flicked, and all the special cards are ejected from the scattered cards in the air. Then, the two hands clasped together at the same time, the right hand grabbed the cards without special cards, and the left hand grabbed those special cards.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, Mimi Reading! It's really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

Select a replacement card from the backup deck to add, then skillfully shuffled the cards with one hand, and came to Campbell's Earl Dallak:

"It's an honor to play cards with you, but I don't have a special card, I'm just an ordinary player."

The chubby earl looked at Xia De's hand in surprise, and nodded after a long time:

"I have a special card, and the way you shuffle it is...beautiful."

"Thank you for your compliment, then let's begin. In the name of the elegant flower of Canberra - Xivi Cassandra, I will defeat you."

They used the basic rule of five games and three games to play the game, and even without adding any special cards, Shade still won the championship with the advantage of winning three games in a row.

He even drew a king once and blackjack once, which once made the Earl of Dallak of Campbell suspect that the armed bodyguard in front of him was a former professional gambler or something.

However, he was very polite and willing to admit defeat, and after praising Xia De's level of Rhodes cards, he left. However, when he was in close contact with the earl, Xia De always felt that there was something wrong with the earl, but he was sure that the earl was just an ordinary person, and there were no traces of elements on his body, so he didn't know that kind of "intuition" What's wrong is why.

Out of curiosity, he inquired more about Earl Dallak, and later learned that the latter had a serious illness some time ago, and he rested in bed for the whole summer before finally recovering. The emaciated figure was caused by that serious illness, otherwise, as a nobleman who has no worries in life and doesn't have too many bad habits except eating, drinking, smoking and drinking women's Rhodes, he has no reason to be so thin.

Because of the delay of some time with Miss Aurora, Xia De's idea of ​​meeting local Rhodes players before the ball was completely in vain.

Seeing that the bonfire dance that started at 8:30 was very close, Xia De did not leave the lounge again, but chatted with Miss Aurora and Granny Cassandra about what he had seen and heard at the auction, and complained about the auction price of the Rhodes card. Then the current situation at Fort Midhill was discussed.

When the time was almost up, and from the window he could see men and women or other couples gathering in the courtyard, Xia De stood up from the sofa, imitating other gentlemen he had seen with Miss Aurora's smile Press your left hand on your chest, wave your right hand in the air, and stretch out your hand in a slight bending motion to invite:;

"Miss Xi Wei Aurora, may I invite you to dance?"

"certainly."

The witch smiled happily:

"Wait for me outside, I want to touch up my makeup."

The light make-up on her face looked good and there was no need for touch-ups, but Shad wisely didn't point that out.

So he left first and waited in the courtyard. When saying goodbye to Granny Cassandra, the old witch said with some regret:

"Young man, I probably wouldn't be surprised if Galina drew a knife and stabbed you to death someday."

"Well, what?"

"It's nothing, you seem to be the kind of person with a lot of means, at least the teacher thinks so."

She shook her head:

"I'll leave in a while, and I'm going back to rest. Just to remind you, the teacher's ceremony will be held on Monday. If you are interested, please arrange other schedules for this Monday."

"I will definitely go. Yes, for Hongdie's solution, I will definitely go."

Xia De nodded, and the old witch showed a relieved smile:

"Shad Hamilton, the teacher is actually looking forward to meeting you."

"See you then."

"Goodbye."

Miss Aurora asked Xia De to wait in the courtyard first, and to dance with such a lady of status, Xia De of course chose to wear a mask. His doing so did not appear obtrusive among the guests at the banquet, because there were quite a few people wearing masks to dance, and among them, there were more young men and women doing the same.

And Xia De waited for a full twenty minutes, and after the bonfire dance had already started, he finally waited for Miss Aurora.

She had swapped out her slightly cumbersome gown for a stunning black and white dress with a narrow waist. Not all women are suitable for this style of skirt, but for the charismatic witch, all clothes are suitable for them.

Miss Aurora was also wearing a mask, and after taking Shade's hand, the two entered the bonfire dance venue. The central courtyard of the back-shaped castle is quite large. Dozens of bonfires are divided into four areas, and there are bands playing by the bonfires in the middle of each area.

The witches seem to be very good at dancing, even wearing beautiful black patent leather high heels ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Miss Aurora's dancing skills are much more skilled than Shade.

Both of them wear masks that cover the upper half of their faces, so they can still see their expressions. Under the moon, by the bonfire, Xi Wei Aurora's face was flushed red, she looked really happy at the moment, leading Xia De to dance slowly with the sound of the orchestra, and even in a slight Introduce the famous piece of music called "Heart of the Lake" to Xia De amidst the crackling of the bonfire.

"Actually, sometimes I envy Galina."

Putting their heads on Shad's shoulders, the two danced lightly to the beat.

"What?"

"She always seems to be able to get what she wants. Although her seat corresponds to [Balance], I always think that she is actually favored by [Fate]."

The witch whispered in Xia De's ear, of course Xia De knew that Miss Xi Wei Aurora had a high degree of affection for him. Where did this good feeling come from? He hasn't figured it out yet, but his feeling is definitely not wrong.

"The only man who can approach us has a good appearance, a kind personality, and excellent abilities. He can even play a big role in the parliament's pursuit of the chosen one. I really can't think of anything other than being a low-level man for the time being." , what shortcomings do you have?"

Listening to Miss Aurora's words, Xia De heard "her" laughter, which was probably a mockery.

"But why did Galina meet you first?"

The brown-haired witch asked, and unexpectedly, she kissed Shad's ear. While Shad blushed, she moved away from Shad's shoulder, and then signaled to Shad that it was time to move. Click to download the APP of this site, massive novels, free to read!
