Because I had already given Iluna a gift for the end of the year in the early morning of this day, after returning to Tobesk, which was decorated with lights and festoons at noon on Tuesday, and everyone was celebrating the end of the year, Shad went directly to the Yodel Palace. Waiting for the king's summons.
Today's King Larousse III looks busier than ever. Shard met the king at one o'clock on time, and then received a very formulaic encouragement and reward. Just like Director An Luosi said, Rezia's father hinted that Shad would maintain a relationship with Princess Margaret. Of course, it is only a hint, there is no evidence that His Majesty the King has given such an order.
The award ceremony will be held publicly after the year, and a suitable reason will be given to explain Xia De's achievements at that time. As for the bonus, of course His Majesty the King would not personally give it to Xia De, but after Xia De left the king's study, the red-clothed **** attendant who led him at the door handed Xia De a money order:
"A thousand pounds? How generous."
Xia De said with a smile in his heart, and put away the money order with a blank face.
And when the attendants led him out, they unexpectedly met Rezia and Adelina who were dressed up. The princesses and Shad did not walk the same corridor, but Shad still heard their conversation with his excellent hearing.
The little princess seemed to be asking Rezia why she looked younger and younger recently, and was reprimanded by her sister:
"Adelina, didn't I look young before?"
Even at the end of the year, Leiziya is not afraid to show her majesty to her sister. What Xia De was even more curious about was how Rezia and Dorothy discussed time with Luvia.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't imagine that Rezia would agree to wasting even one hour of the precious 24-hour Red Butterfly Day.
After leaving the Yodel Palace, Shad first took a carriage to the cemetery outside the city, and sent a bouquet of flowers to Detective Sparrow who was sleeping here. After mourning, I went to Miss Galina's manor to exchange happy holidays with the witch and the black-haired maid.
Miss Galina will spend the end of the year at Yodel Palace, which is also a royal tradition. And tonight, Rezia obviously planned to sneak out after the family dinner.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the city, and the festive atmosphere in the city was about to reach its peak. Xia De went to Old John's **** shop first, and found that the old man had also returned to the city. Papa John looked the same, as if he had really just been on a trip, and even brought Shad a Carsonrick rabbit wool hat as a present.
The last stop this afternoon is the Dawn Church with a strong festive atmosphere. As one of the core believers of the diocese, although Shad was unable to participate in the full-day activities, at least he had to participate in the opera at the end of the year with Bishop Owen as a representative of the believers.
It is worth mentioning that Schade played himself in the opera this afternoon. The content of the opera is that Shade blocked the bullet for Queen Diana in the summer, and the "Holy Prayer Commemorative Coin" blessed by the gods blocked the fatal blow for him.
The opera adapted from this legendary story is very attractive. A few weeks later, Shad even heard the news that the script had been bought by a local opera troupe and wanted to adapt it into a large-scale opera in five acts. Shad himself also received the news A rather generous "image fee".
Of course, that was after the end of the year.
It was Tuesday night, the last night of 1853. Most of the shops in the city are not open at all today, and most of the shops and restaurants that are open are closed in the afternoon.
People in this era prefer to spend the most important festival of the year with their loved ones at home. As for Xia De's home, the maids have also been decorated with a new make-up.
Miss Galina even considered Shad's end-of-year dinner. Although she couldn't accompany Shad herself, in order to prevent Shad from having nothing to eat during such an important festival, she asked the chef of the Yodel Palace to make a sumptuous meal in advance. For dinner, the plate was delivered directly to No. 6, Plaza Saint Teresa.
The servants who filed in and the dining car that was pushed in naturally couldn't hide it from others, but since the current owner of the Yodel Palace, the duchess' nephew Larousse III, didn't say anything, others naturally wouldn't talk too much. .
This sumptuous dinner was not only enjoyed by Shad and Mia, it was Luvia who had the last dinner with Shad at home in 1853. After all, Rezia and Dorothy both had family to keep them company. Rezia naturally needless to say, although Dorothy has moved out of home to live independently, but she still spends the end of the year in her own home with her parents and unmarried brothers and sisters.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Although it was just eating at home, Luvia did not dress up, but she also put on light makeup. It could be seen that she was in a particularly good mood tonight, and even tried to feed Little Mia.
Of course, the cat just didn't accept it, and it rarely ate food offered by anyone other than Shad.
As night fell, the sound of fireworks sounded outside the window one after another. Even though the night sky is still surrounded by gray fog, the lights of the Yordle Palace not far away, even without getting close to the window, can be seen that the light almost illuminates the entire night sky.
This is a memorable night. The purple-eyed girl sits opposite Shade at the dining table, twirling a glass goblet, listening to the sound of fireworks and phonograph stones, laughing and lamenting the whole year of 1853 with him. How difficult it is.
The girl's lips are so soft.
I don't know if it was because of drinking or because of excessive excitement, but Luvia's cheeks were quite rosy. She put down the wine glass and picked up the knife and fork again, then smiled and looked at Shad's face under the light of the golden candlestick:
"Meeting you is the greatest luck in my life."
"I'd be ashamed if you said that."
Xia De said with a smile while stroking Miya, tonight is a special day, he let go of the cat eating standard set for each meal out of concern about the weight of the orange cat, and now the cat is eating happily.
After dinner, it was only 7:30 in the evening. Luvia and Shad watched the fireworks from the Yodel Palace at the window together, and then gave each other gifts for the end of the year.
What Xia De sent was the "Book of Fools" written by the ancient fabler. Luvia did not give a gift immediately, but said with a smile that the gift would not be given until evening.
Xia De still doesn't know how Luvia discussed the time with Dorothy and Rezia, but it seems that the purple-eyed fortune teller is determined not to leave tonight.
The atmosphere at the end of the year was just right. After watching the fireworks, Luvia smiled and said that she was going to the bathroom to wash up, so she went into the bathroom with a change of clothes.
Xia De stood in the living room with Mia in his arms, looked down at his cat, and the cat stared at Xia De again, obviously seeing what Xia De was going to do.
It didn't try to escape, but curled up in Xia De's arms and let out a meek "meow meow" a few times. Unfortunately, this didn't arouse Xia De's sympathy.
However, before Xia De helped the cat build a soft nest in the closet, he heard the sound of the door opening downstairs. There were only three girls who had the key to No. 6 of Saint-Andrés Square. Xia De went to the stairs and took a look. Sure enough, he saw Her Royal Highness the Princess happily walking up the stairs with her skirt and white diamond-encrusted high-heeled shoes.
She probably just finished the dinner at the Yodel Palace, and accompanied Larousse III and Queen Diana to watch the fireworks. She didn't even change the golden princess dress and the ruby-studded crown on her head. He came here excitedly.
Seeing Xia De at the door on the second floor, His Royal Highness the Red-haired Princess warmly gave Xia De a hug and an even more passionate kiss:
"Oh, it was hard to get out, but Adelina helped me... Is Dorothy not here yet?"
She smiled and hugged Xia De, with a blazing fire in her eyes:
"This is the first time that I didn't spend the whole night at the Yodel Palace for the end of the year. Even during the years of studying at the Zarath Academy of Literature, I would go home for the end of the year... early I just thought that there would be such a day sooner or later~www.mtlnovel.com~ But even in the fantasies of adolescent girls, I never thought that I would meet a...handsome knight like you."
The lips with lipstick kissed Xia De's side face, and then he and Xia De entered the living room holding hands. Xia De was surprised, she acted like she couldn't hear the sound in the bathroom at all, and let Xia De sit on the sofa:
"The day of the Red Butterfly was postponed for nearly three weeks. Of course it was worth it. Xia De, don't arrange anything tomorrow. How about we go around the city together? I know you have no memories of the past, so I definitely don't know about the Silver Cross Avenue float parade at the end of the year..."
This is an event sponsored by the royal family and is the most solemn celebration on the first day of each year.
"I haven't seen the respective churches of the Church of the Five Gods. What kind of decorations are made for the end of the year. We can go to the church to listen to the New Year's choir!"
When I went to the Church of Dawn this afternoon, Xia De saw some of the New Year's decorations, so I can only say that the church is really rich.
"I don't even know how wonderful the year-end festival performance at the Opera House is!"
Leiziya blushed because of excitement, and the fireworks exploding outside the window made her face even more beautiful. She has already arranged all the activities for tomorrow.
"But you won't show up at the Yodel Palace all day tomorrow, is it really okay?"
Shad was worried about this, but Rezia said with a smile while pushing Shad on the sofa:
"I temporarily conceded to Galina and asked her to help cover it up. She agreed... probably because of the end of the year. I didn't expect that there would be a day when she would be willing to help me."
