"Don't go back to Delarion in the future."
Xia De stood by the wooden ladder to board the ship, and said to the two people in the night, but he did not refuse their action of paying, which is what he deserves:
"I originally wanted to charge you a total of 100 pounds, but I will give you 60. You have to find a job again, continue to study art, and you will spend a lot of money."
"Sir, I really don't know how to thank you."
Mr. Feringa said standing in the night, and finally gave the blueprint of the sewer to Shad. He will never come back in this life, these blueprints are of no use to him.
"Sir...I don't ask for forgiveness...it's really...loyal..."
Although she was talking to Shad, Miss Brown was actually looking at Princess Margaret behind Shad, who stood in the shadow of the ship's lights.
Miss Brown was a little choked up and speechless, Xia De urged:
"Go, go, finally got here, don't..."
Suddenly there was a large area of lights in the distance, Xia De turned his head suddenly, and saw a group of people approaching in this direction with kerosene lamps, and the leader seemed to be Director An Luosi.
Everyone else on the pier also looked at a group of people who were approaching here along the riverside street.
"MI6! The leader seems to be..."
The maid behind the princess whispered, Princess Margaret subconsciously looked at Shade, and that pretty face was revealed from under the cloak.
"don’t worry."
Xia De said in a deep voice, and then immediately urged:
"Miss Brown, Mr. Ferringa, you go on board first."
Then turn and walk towards the approaching people:
"Your Highness, don't move here, leave everything to me."
He took off his hat and trotted away from the jetty. Mr. Feringa boarded the ship immediately with his luggage, while Miss Brown standing behind turned her head to look at the silent princess for the last time:
"Feel sorry."
Marguerite Anjou lowered her head and did not speak at all. Miss Brown bit her lip and was finally pulled up the wooden ladder by Mr. Feringa.
On the other side, Xia De had already approached a group of people who were approaching. The leader was indeed Director An Luosi. The few people behind him wanted to raise their guns, but they were stopped by Director An Luosi who recognized Xia De:
"Oh, why are you here?"
He didn't call out Xia De's name, Xia De waved to his boss, and then walked two steps forward with him, and the two talked alone.
Xia De lowered his voice and pointed to the figure of the princess on the trestle bridge:
"Mr. Anlos, what happened?"
Without waiting for Director An Luosi to explain, Xia De said:
"The one over there, Marguerite Anjou, I'll go out with her to relax. We...um...she asked me out."
The middle-aged man looked at Xia De suspiciously, Xia De smiled embarrassedly:
"Well, she has a batch of smuggled goods to check for final inspection. It's on that ship. It's local tobacco. It's a incidental thing to come out with me for a walk."
"It seems that your majesty's task has been completed well."
Director An Luosi looked at the hooded figure on the trestle bridge from a distance, and after Shade's reminder, he also saw that it was Princess Margaret. Of course, at this time, it is the best choice to treat it as if you have not seen it:
"There is nothing tonight. A defected agent has returned to Tobesk. We suspect that she has a connection with Gray Gloves."
He didn't doubt that Shad or Princess Margaret would help the former maid. The former had nothing to do with this matter, and the latter was even a victim:
"Don't be out for too long tonight."
Director An Luosi said:
"I am leading people to search along the river. After all, it is unlikely that she wants to leave by train."
"Why would you personally come out and lead a team to search for such a thing?"
Xia De asked curiously, Director An Luosi is the chief of MI6, and he generally would not participate in direct operations.
"After all, it's the end of the year, and the Sixth Division is also subject to His Majesty's assessment and year-end awards."
He sighed, looking like a middle-aged man running around for his livelihood:
"So I have to show some performance. After all, it's the end of the year, and His Majesty is still watching at the Yodel Palace."
Xia De nodded understandingly:
"It's not easy."
Director An Luosi patted Xia De on the shoulder:
"Princess Margaret will be leaving next week, and you still have a week to go on your mission. I hope that damned grey-headed eagle can show up."
He waved to the others behind him:
"The next pier."
So the team turned, and the group continued to search for other ships downstream.
Xia De bid farewell to Director An Luosi, and after confirming that the group had gone far, he returned to the princess by the trestle bridge in the dark:
"No problem."
He said softly, although Princess Margaret was curious about how Shade persuaded the people from MI6 to leave, but she didn't ask much.
After the last two passengers were loaded, black smoke rose from the chimney of the cargo ship, and after the siren sounded for a long time, the cargo ship slowly left the pier and headed down the river into the darkness downstream.
Princess Margaret didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. She stood on the trestle bridge and asked Xia De softly until the ship had gone far away:
"Detective, aren't you surprised that I'm here?"
"Why are you surprised? I think you want to watch her leave with your own eyes, which is also a farewell to your unpleasant experience."
"Aren't you glad to see Miss Brown go aboard?"
"I am a little happy, but I also feel that I have bid farewell to that childish self."
She looked a little disappointed.
The corner of Xia De's mouth curled into a smile:
"Moreover, you managed to let Miss Brown have something that she will be guilty of for the rest of her life. Like you in the past eight years, she will never forget what she has done."
Hearing what Xia De said, the face under the hood finally showed a smile, and Xia De continued:
"As long as you are happy, my day's running around is not in vain."
He stretched himself in front of the princess:
"Then, Your Highness, would you mind eating purple cabbage in the future?"
The princess looked at him reproachfully:
"Of course I mind, that kind of vegetable is not tasty no matter what."
She looked at Xia De nearby, paused and said softly:
"Thanks."
"Why should you thank me?"
Xia De asked back, then waved his hand:
"Your Highness, I actually have a purpose. Can you contact Sir Priscia for me? About Sunday afternoon, I hope to meet him at my home. In addition, there is a friend of mine who is a ring magician. Please tell He and I are ring warlocks, so he said that I was looking for a ring warlock with moon power, and you recommended him."
"No problem, but I'll go with you too, otherwise Jazz might not agree."
She hesitated:
"One more thing, Xia De, I will allow you to call me by my name directly in the future."
The princess's eyes looked at Xia De, who hesitated for a moment, feeling the cold wind of the winter river blowing his cheeks:
"Well...Margaret?"
The princess smiled again:
"I'm going back to China next week. I didn't expect to meet a friend like you during Tobesk's visit. I think I probably know why the duchess is fascinated by you."
Xia De did not comment on this, but made a gesture of invitation, and together with the princess and the maid, left the trestle and walked towards the street with gas lamps.
The moon is round and the stars are sparse, and the city is so peaceful in winter. Princess Margaret was unwilling to talk about Miss Brown with Shad. When Shad sent the princess to the carriage, she hesitated and asked Shad a question:
"Why do you want to help them? Don't say it. It's really because of the 60 pounds. With your strength, you can earn this money more easily than this."
"Why do you need a reason to help others?"
Xia De nodded his chest, and said quite firmly:
"If I really want to say a reason, I also helped many people in the autumn, and they all helped me in the mountains when I was in danger. This made me understand that it is good to do good deeds occasionally. And as a German Larion's knight, I actually have some chivalry."
"But your actions are harming Delarion's interests."
The princess said softly, looked left and right to confirm that no one was paying attention here, and she gently kissed Xia De's side face:
"Then knight, here is your reward."
After speaking, he got into the carriage, and without even saying goodbye to Xia De, he ordered the driver to drive away.
Only Xia De, who was covering his side face, stood at the street corner and watched the carriage leave:
"Do girls in this era like to express their gratitude with kisses?"
[Maybe it's just you who are treated. 】
"She" whispered in Xia De's ear with a chuckle.
"However, she touched me directly, why didn't she find that there was something wrong with me as a man."
【Her witch power is less than expected. It seems that Miss Sylvia didn't intend to let her have any contact with the Witch Council from the very beginning. 】
Xia De smiled, put his hands in his pockets, kicked the stone at his feet with his right foot, and watched the stone jump into the alley beside him:
"It's time for me to go home. Mia is still waiting for me at home. After a busy day, I'm going to rest."
Turning around and walking in another direction, there was indescribable ease in the steps.
"She" whispered in Xia De's ear, and the thin moonlight illuminated Xia De's way home:
[Sixth Era, 1853, deep winter, the moon of deep sleep. The curtain of civilization is slowly unfolding for you. Standing on the land of the old continent, you have already understood and become familiar with the struggle between the two kingdoms of human civilization. The princess sang softly on the stage, the king sat on the throne overlooking the land, secret agents traveled through the city, and the laughing duchess didn't know what she was thinking. My dear outsider~www.mtlnovel.com~ Desire weaves a big net, power casts a scepter, money piles up bones, and destiny composes poems. The kingdom is in your hands, war and peace will be decided by you. This era has become more interesting because of your arrival, and what kind of future are you looking forward to? 】
"Why do you say this at such a time? Have I accomplished something difficult? You have always spoken in such a tone only after I have accomplished something important."
[You and the princesses of the two countries are involved at the same time. This is enough to affect the situation of human civilization, because they are all very ambitious. Tonight, the anchor point of civilization was touched by you. 】
"She" smiled and answered softly in Xia De's ear.
"And, why do you say that I seem to be behind the scenes of the kingdom, a conspirator planning to subvert the world?"
Xia De complained softly in his heart, and turned again to look at the carriage that had gone far away:
"According to what you said, I seem to be able to influence two kingdoms at will. When did I have such power?"
"She" just chuckled, but under Xia De's repeated questioning, she still asked:
[Outlander, do you wish you had such power? "]
Xia De looked up at the hazy moon in the sky:
"The pursuit of power is really tiring, I still choose to pursue power."
【You have heard that knowledge is power, but isn’t power also power? 】
Xia De shook his head and walked towards home.
