Miss Bella Brown, whom Shad had been waiting for, returned shortly after Sir Priscia left.
Because after eight years, her appearance has changed significantly, and as an ordinary citizen, her makeup is quite different from when she was a maid, so Xia De can only say that this lady is indeed very similar to Margot Princess Ritter's former maid, he couldn't confirm whether it was really the former MI6 agent.
After confirming that Mr. Brown, the owner of the bookstore, and Miss Bella Brown were just ordinary people, Xia De, under the cover of illusion, went to the second floor of the bookstore where Miss Brown lived, and opened the room where she lived with the key to the door. I looked for it.

The room is very ordinary, and there are easels and a few artistic oil paintings in the corner. He didn't touch other people's personal belongings, but he found a pistol in the desk anyway. Except for the gun, there were no other noteworthy items, and considering that the bookstore itself sold guns illegally, it was possible that the gun was given to her by Mr. Brown for self-defense.
[Create a situation, try it out? 】
"She" asked softly.
Xia De shook his head and looked towards the not-so-big bedroom:
"Once some habits are formed, it is difficult to get rid of them even if you want to change them deliberately. I asked Princess Margaret, and her former maid received a full set of training as a royal maid. Sorry."
He whispered to the closet, and opened the closet door. Ignore the clothes hanging on the hangers, and check the clothes stacked at the bottom of the closet:
"Even if ordinary girls are good at housework, they are definitely not as strict as trained professional maids when it comes to arranging clothes."
He looked at the neatly stacked and arranged clothes and said that the wardrobe organized by Dorothy, Rezia, and Luvia was very different from the wardrobe that Miss Galina's maids helped him organize every Saturday. , the maids of the duchess are very professional:
"Sure enough, the way the clothes are stacked...maybe it's a coincidence, but look elsewhere."
Stand up and close the closet, then look at the desk again:
"In addition to the maid, she may have experience as an agent. As a cautious former agent..."
Shad took out the pistol again, and after checking, he confirmed that a bullet had been pressed into the chamber:
"Pressing a bullet in the gun chamber in advance not only makes it easy to fire at any time, but also makes the pistol fire an extra bullet. I think ordinary girls don't understand this."
He put the pistol back in good condition:
"Of course, this is still not enough to prove anything. Maybe Miss Brown learned it from her uncle."
Then I went to the oil paintings in the corner and rummaged through the drawing boards:
"They are all very ordinary landscape paintings, and do not involve specific places and characters... This white clock tower is no problem, but the window style of the clock tower is a very typical Carson Rik style. I saw it in Miss Aurora's Coldwater Harbor estate."
"It's really interesting."
Xia De thought silently, and then used "Echo of the Past".
There were many voices in the bedroom, and he listened to three passages.
The first paragraph is a conversation between Miss Brown and her uncle, Mr. Brown, who is asking Miss Brown about her wedding date;
The second paragraph is a conversation between Miss Brown and a strange man. The tone of the two people is full of joy. The strange man told Miss Brown that he has packed up the ceremony and that he can go to the Art Museum with her after the wedding at the end of the year. Settle in the city of Duatec.
The two imagined their life after marriage, and Xia De also knew that the strange man was Miss Brown's fiancé, who was born as an orphan and is currently a mechanic.
The last paragraph is Miss Brown's monologue. This thirty-year-old lady is probably talking to the mirror, telling her joy, confusion and a little bit of fear about getting married.
The focus is on this sentence in the discourse:
"Can those pasts really disappear completely?"
"It should be her."
Xia De did not continue to pry into other people's privacy, but was still curious about the reason why the other party appeared in Tobesk. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with MI6, and it was Miss Brown herself looking for a new life.
[Continue to investigate? Or report directly to the princess? 】
"She" continued to ask with a smile.
"Of course we will continue to investigate. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with the extraordinary. I really want to know what is the reason for it. If I can investigate the whole situation and inform Princess Margaret, then after this matter is over, it is completely fine." Not through Sir Alan Madison, but through Princess Margaret, entrusting the Lord with an aura."
He returned to the bookstore downstairs, and it was already noon. Miss Brown left the first floor and went to the second floor to prepare lunch for herself and her uncle.
Xia De picked two books in the bookstore and bought them. After leaving the bookstore, he walked around to the alley behind the bookstore, then climbed over the wall and entered the small yard behind the bookstore that was used as a warehouse.
After confirming that there was no one around, he turned into a red butterfly and flew from the ground to the second floor. After turning back into a human body in the air, he borrowed the "Lager's Jump" and directly entered the room behind the glass.
The kitchen is also on the second floor of the bookstore. Xia De changed his outfit and put on the witch's eye shadow before walking towards the kitchen.
"Who are you? Sir, there is nothing of value here. Oh, get out of here!"
"How dare you go straight back to Tobesk?"
Xia De asked straightforwardly, and while Miss Brown showed a surprised expression, she stretched out another finger and asked:
"Guess I'm the Gray Gloves?"
This sentence is in Kasenlik, which is quite proficient in Kasenlik. Although Xia De followed the princess to "learn a foreign language" as an excuse, it was not for nothing.
Then extend a second finger:
"Or someone from MI6?"
This sentence is in Delarion, which is also quite proficient, and has the accent characteristics of the central city of Tobesk.
The lady in the kitchen took a step back subconsciously, and after apologizing softly, she turned off the gas in the hot pan. She put down the bowl and spoon containing the eggs, and pinched the towel beside her, with an almost desperate expression on her face:
"I......"
"Don't show that expression, I'm not from these two parties."
said Shad, staring into her face and adding:
"I work for a beautiful lady. I want to hear your story before deciding what to do with you."
He walked into the kitchen and slapped [Gun of Kindness] on the small table with an egg bowl beside him:
"MI6 should arrange for you to live in the countryside or a small city. Why did you come back?"
"I......"
The lady holding the towel pursed her lips, and the despair in her eyes became more and more obvious. She stared at the gun, her tone changed from soft to firm:
"Of course they won't allow it, so I faked my death again, gave up all my original identities, and came back here. It's not easy. I want my colleagues in MI6 to think that I'm really dead. It's even harder for Rendale to leave."
"Why do you want to come back?"
"For school."
"Um?"
Shad couldn't understand, Miss Brown looked away from Shad's gun on the table, and looked at him as well.
The narrow kitchen, the window is still narrow. The light in the room was extremely dim, and the desperate lady explained her life almost hysterically:
"Sir, do you know my past? Before I was absorbed into MI6, I was just an ordinary girl. Then something happened... My life changed completely. But since I was young I loved art when I was a child and I loved drawing. I thought that when I left MI6 I would pursue my dream. But they lied to me and I couldn't be seen in public or allowed into public Art college...I understand it's the six-part rule, but I can't accept it, so I choose to pursue my own life."
She looked at Xia De like this, her pale face was even more exaggerated than the skin of the vampire Mr. Bernhardt:
"I knew I was doing the right thing. It took me eight months to obtain a diploma from the Third Academy of Art in Tobesk, and I met him. After the end of the year, we will go to Artek to settle down. I Will continue my studies there too. Chasing dreams, chasing knowledge... Doesn’t that sound ridiculous to someone from my background?”
"It's not funny at all. I know an old professor who chased knowledge and even lost his own legs."
Shad was referring to Professor Drake in Huntington City. Calculating the time, the professor probably left Huntington and moved to Willendale.
"But are you so courageous? Tobesk is not the only one in the Art Academy~www.mtlnovel.com~, but the one here is the best."
Miss Bella Brown said firmly, she stared at Shad with wide eyes:
"You may not understand this, but this is my pursuit, my desire, and I am willing to take responsibility for it. Moreover, I have retired for eight years, and my appearance and figure are different from before. Even Director An Luosi When you see me, you may not be able to recognize me at a glance. So I came back, in order to pursue a new life, a new start..."
"But you were recognized at a glance. She has a deep memory of you, and she always remembers you."
Xia De said, Miss Brown closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she had completely accepted her fate and was ready to accept suffering:
"Sir, who sent you to find me?"
Xia De looked around the kitchen, left the pistol on the table without moving, then walked into the kitchen alone, and threw a purple cabbage to her:
"Lunch is just scrambled eggs, which is too monotonous. You can try scrambled eggs with purple cabbage."
Miss Brown didn't look at the pistol that was within reach, but caught the purple cabbage in a panic. She didn't expect Shad to throw this.
And looking at the vegetables in her hands, she suddenly widened her eyes and lost her mind:
"yes......"
