Saying goodbye to Baron Lavender and his friends temporarily, Shad went up the stairs under the guidance of his servants. The first and second floors are in the style of a grand banquet hall, but on the third floor it becomes a very ordinary layout with rooms on both sides of a corridor.
Miss Galina and the maid, Lana, were waiting for Shad in the study near the stairs. Xia De found that this witch seemed to like talking to people in the study.
"Good evening, Miss Galina."
This time we met directly, not across the door. The red-haired duchess sat in a chair behind her desk, and Miss Tifa Thurwitt, her maid, stood beside her. The Duchess wore a black and white evening gown, and she looked more beautiful than the last time she met. Since she was dressed like this, Xia De guessed that she would show up in public soon.
"Good evening, detective."
She motioned for Xia De to sit down anywhere.
The conversation didn't start right away, Miss Galina looked at Xia De curiously, and then said:
"I really didn't see it, you still think of Rezia?"
"Who? Oh, Princess Rezia Cavendish, yes, I know... yes, I do."
I haven't figured out the situation yet, so I can only go along with the words.
"Congratulations, detective, there is a big surprise waiting for you tonight, do you want to guess what it is?"
Miss Galina asked, Shade sat on the sofa, thinking of what Mr. Anros said in the morning. Without Shade guessing, Miss Galina gave the answer directly:
"A knight title that hasn't been awarded for hundreds of years is actually going to be awarded again."
The lady said, and was satisfied to see the doubt and surprise on Xia De's face:
"Knightship? Me?"
This surprise, Xia De really did not expect, the title of knight does not fit the background of the steam age at all.
"Yes, the title of knight. Originally, An Luosi and I helped you fight for it, but it was only the honorary knight medal of De La Rion. I didn't expect you to know Rezia. Rezia wrote back specially. She is very happy. Cleverly, he didn't write directly to His Majesty the King, but wrote to Queen Diana, and then asked the Queen to lobby the King, so the title of knight belongs to you."
She sighed, and then asked in a teasing tone:
"Tell me, detective, what is your relationship with that grandniece of mine?"
This method of address made Xia De think for a while before straightening out:
"It's...friendship."
This must be Miss Louisa's letter to Princess Leizia, so the princess who was visiting a foreign country and was on her way back wrote a letter to fight for Shad's title.
This once again made Xia De understand how good the relationship between the female writer and the princess really is. He owed Goldilocks more and more.
"Friendship?"
Not only Miss Galina didn't believe it, but the maid also showed a smile, obviously not believing it, but fortunately they didn't ask too much:
"In short, congratulations, detective. I have already received the news in advance that you have been awarded the title of 'Redgerd Knight'. Of course, there is only a title, but no fief, which means that this is just an honor and cannot be passed on to you. Descendants. But a knighthood is a far greater compliment than a medal of honor."
"Rejed" is a small town under the city of Tobesk. In the past, the title of knight often meant a small fiefdom, so it corresponded to the place name.
Seeing that Xia De hadn't reacted yet, Miss Galina added:
"Let me think about it, with this title, when you introduce yourself in the future, you can call yourself... 'legend of Hamilton' (Legend of Hamilton). Oh, doesn't it feel good?"
"very nice......"
Xia De nodded, not feeling too much about this honor, after all, he is not a person living in this era. I don't have a deep understanding of things like glory, and the title of knight is just a title. Is there a gold pound I can get:
"Miss Galina, what good is this title...?"
This is what he cares about. The Duchess behind the table has long expected that Shade will ask this question:
"The title itself is an honor. You can be regarded as a nobleman... the lowest rank of nobleman, but at least not a commoner. With this, if you can contribute to the kingdom again, the difficulty of being directly knighted in the next step will be greatly reduced .”
"No, I mean, does the title itself..."
He twirled his fingers in embarrassment. It was not the first day for Miss Galina to know Xia De, so she was not surprised by his thoughts:
"No, even the former knights had to pay part of the territory's taxes to the kingdom on a regular basis. But if you are short of money, it seems that in addition to the title, there will also be rewards from the royal family..."
She turned to the maid and asked:
"What specifically to give? In the age we live, no one has ever seen this kind of knight conferring ceremony..."
"The Honorary Knight Medal of Delarion, and a knight long sword that symbolizes status. Because the kingdom has not granted the title of knight for a long time, this sword is an antique found in the warehouse. The price of the medal is inestimable, because there is no Someone sold it, and the specific valuation of that antique knight's long sword will not be less than 100 pounds... But it is best not to sell it, it is an honor."
Miss Maid also knows Xia De very well.
Xia De said that he was actually thinking about how much money he was short of, so that he could repair his third floor without affecting his life.
"Rejard's Hamilton...what a strange statement."
He himself sighed.
"There are often such titles in knight novels, but in reality, few people call themselves this way. After all, the era of knights is over, but people seem to think that chivalry still exists."
Miss Galina said, but the point of view in the first half of the sentence is not entirely correct, because nobles with fiefs can call themselves in this way. For example, Miss Galina's fief is Saladir County, so she can call herself "Gavendish of Saladir".
"Chivalry? No, I don't have that spirit."
Since they are all acquaintances, Xia De doesn't have to shy away from anything. What happened at noon on Wednesday was purely a coincidence, he happened to have time, and it didn't do much harm to his own interests.
"You can't say that your point of view is wrong, but people always fail to evaluate themselves correctly."
Miss Galina said.
"Who said the second half of the sentence?"
Xia De asked curiously, thinking that it was a sentence left by a writer in this world.
"I said."
The witch played with the golden pen in her hand and gave an answer.
With rewards and remuneration, Xia De naturally has to pay a little attention to the development of the case. Last time Mr. Anros said that this is not a gray glove person, but there is no more text after that:
"Speaking of which, Miss Galina, have you found out the background of the murderer who assassinated the queen?"
"This matter, the investigation is over."
The Duchess shook her head and said with a regretful expression.
"Do you know who sent the shooter?"
Xia De asked again, and then saw the maid standing next to Miss Galina, and shook her head slightly at him.
"Of course not. Detective, I know you're wondering why you didn't go any further. It's because MI6 didn't dare go any further."
"What's the meaning?"
Miss Galina just smiled and said nothing, and the maid behind her replied instead:
"The royal family specifically spoke to the Orthodox Church and asked the ring warlock team to protect the Yoddle Palace, but no suspicious personnel were found. And Queen Diana was attacked immediately when she appeared in public for the first time these days. The attackers seemed to know about Yodel Palace. The vicinity of Del Palace is dangerous, and the queen who is going out has no guards from the Orthodox Church. This in itself is a bit of a coincidence."
Xia De was startled. The outsider who was used to watching similar plots in his hometown immediately came to an astonishing conclusion under the tone of conspiracy theories, so he lowered his voice and asked in a low voice:
"Is it... the king? To frame Carson Rik in order to provoke a war? In order to achieve his ambition to unify the old continent."
Both Miss Galina and the maid laughed:
"Oh, why do you think that? Of course not."
Miss Galina shook her head with a smile, and put down the pen in her hand:
"No one wants to continue fighting now, including our king. MI6 found out that it was one of his sons who did not live up to expectations... Detective, you should know that in recent years, with the heir The thoughts about the crown... Moreover, Queen Diana is not the first wife of the current king. Of the current princes and princesses, only a few such as Rezia are. .....the others are not all hers..."
The Duchess paused, and winked at Shad:
"Do you still need me to continue?"
"No need, no need."
Xia De immediately shook his head, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing:
"This information is enough to make me think of complicated palace political struggles that outsiders will never understand, or plots of those vulgar court pornographic novels. These things have nothing to do with me, please don't let me know."
This is true, palace political struggles are not something that newcomers can participate in, and there is no benefit in getting involved.
"It's good if you know how to be cautious~ www.mtlnovel.com~ I don't even want to pay attention to such things. But, you still read court pornographic novels?"
She looked at Xia De with a little surprise, but in fact Xia De just looked through Sparrow's relics to determine which novel was the so-called "code book".
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter. Then let's get back to the topic, I came to you, and I didn't just tell you about the title of knight. It's like this. The ceremony of awarding the title of knight is very complicated. Do you understand those rules? ?”
Miss Galina asked again, but her tone changed slightly. After the conversation about the gunman's identity, her mood seemed to turn a little bit bad all of a sudden.
"don't know."
"Then you can learn it one hour before the king's appearance. I think the king's ceremonial officer will teach you urgently at that time, and it must be too late."
She waved at the maid behind her, and the maid wanted to lead Xia De out.
But Xia De sat there without moving, but looked at Miss Galina, who looked at him suspiciously, knowing that he still had something to say.
