Latest website: Although Shad made a nest for Mia in the closet with old clothes on Tuesday night, the orange cat was still quite unhappy on Wednesday morning.
After being released by Xia De in the morning, he has been ignoring him. . . Even if Xia De warmed up the goat milk and soaked the cat food and put it in Mia's special bowl, it just barked reservedly, and only walked over pretending to be reserved when Xia De returned to his seat.
Xia De never thought that he could see such a humane expression from a cat.
Xia De, who was sitting at the table, carefully peeled the hard-boiled eggs, and then, under Mia's cautious gaze, moved from his seat to the cat standing on the table eating.
He separated the hot white egg from the middle, and the yellow yolk was even steaming.
Mia looked in the direction of Room 2, then stared at the egg yolk in Xia De's hand with wide eyes, and tilted her head:
"Meow?"
"Do you want to eat?"
Xia De asked, the cat blinked, and called meekly:
"Meow~"
So Mia got an extra meal for breakfast, and Shad got his cat's love again.
[Do you need to be reminded, it is...]
"Yes, it's Miss Mia's cat, I know."
Pulling Mia's bowl to his hand, and then stroking the well-behaved cat, Xia De sat back in his seat and opened the newspaper to read the report on Tobesk's autumn harvest statistics this year. It seems that this year is a good year, and the grain production around Tobesk is very good.

The doorbell rang downstairs, and the cat with goat's milk stuck to its face looked in the direction of the stairs. Xia De touched it to reassure him. Standing up in surprise, looking down from the living room window, he saw a strange carriage parked downstairs.
"Oh, did a client come to your door today?"
Xia De was overjoyed, but frowned slightly:
"It's only half past seven, why is the client in such a hurry?"
Picking up the clothes on the hanger at the door on the second floor, putting on a coat over the shirt, and going downstairs, he changed the slippers on his feet into leather shoes at the door:
"please wait for a moment."
Xia De shouted from behind the door, took off the anti-theft chain of the door, pulled the latch inside the door, and then turned the door handle.
Outside the door is Tobesk's early morning, the autumn fog and gray fog mixed together, making the sky a little gloomy. There are already some pedestrians on the Place Saint Teresa, but most of them are sleepy and hurried. In the distance, a boy selling newspapers with a black crumpled cap is entangled with a middle-aged man with a briefcase, while a girl selling flowers is at the intersection, talking in a low voice to a lady poking her head out of the carriage.
The mist dyed the picture a little bit, making this scene a bit like a street scene in a classical oil painting into reality. These centuries-old buildings in the Saint Teresa Square stand in the center of the royal capital as in the past. The statue of the girl holding the water bottle is still smiling in the misty and dark morning.
The carriage was parked in front of No. 6, Place Saint-Andrés, and the door had already been opened. The red-haired girl in a black pleated floral dress, together with the jewel decoration on her skirt, added a special color to the oil painting of the street scene in the morning .
The red-haired girl smiled at Shad:
"Good morning, Shad, I hope I don't bump into Luvia at your place."
Of course not, Luvia left very early, she didn't bring a change of clothes, and she needed to go home to change before she could go to work at the Prophet Association.
"Good morning, Rezia."
Xia De said very unexpectedly that this should be the first time the two have met in a month since the Queen's birthday party was unexpectedly interrupted by Darkness...a physical meeting.
"Good morning, detective!"
Another voice said that a sixteen-year-old princess who was slightly shorter also poked her head out of the carriage. It was Princess Agelina Cavendish with a big smile on her face. Her youthful face and youthful attire made her very different from her older sister.
"Why are you here... Oh, please come in."
Realizing that it was best not to let too many people see Rezia and Adelina, Shad stepped aside to let the princesses in. Followed by two maids with bowed heads, but Xia De has never seen it before, probably they are the personal servants next to the little princess.
The two princesses passed by Xia De one by one, and the ends of their hair brushed Xia De's shoulders. Leiziya still had the familiar scent of lily perfume, not very strong, even Xia De, who hated ordinary perfumes in this era, could accept it. Adelina is...
"A floral perfume."
Xia De can't distinguish different flower fragrances, he doesn't have this ability, the perfume smell on Leiziya's body is what she said.
Nodding to the expressionless coachman, Xia De closed the door to the foggy San Teresa Square from the inside in the early morning.
Although Rezia had never been to No. 6, Plaza Saint Teresa herself, she had been there many times through Dorothy's body. Therefore, without Xia De leading the way, he walked in the front and went up the stairs first. This surprised Adelina, who was going to the first floor, and looked back at Shad who was closing the door, but said nothing.
A group of people came to the living room on the second floor, and Leiziya sat on the sofa naturally, and asked the two maids to go to the kitchen to prepare tea. Seeing a group of strangers come to the cat's home, it is obviously very uncomfortable with this atmosphere. Frightened, he even ignored the goat milk left in the bowl, and ran towards Xia De as the maids approached the kitchen.
"Mr. Hamilton, are you having breakfast?"
Rezia was about the same age as Dorothy, and both were slightly larger than Shade's body. Speaking of which, Luvia was actually older than Rezia. The sixteen-year-old Agelina didn't have so many troubles, and the sky blue princess dress she wore today was a relatively young style, so she looked younger.
"Yes, I usually have breakfast at this time. Why are you here so early? Is there something urgent?"
Xia De sat on the single sofa on one side.
"There's no rush because if it wasn't so early, I wouldn't be able to come here."
Rezia said, her eyes glanced at Xia De, she knew that Xia De broke into the narrow gap between life and death:
"After Brother Sachs was sentenced to death, someone must take over the affairs of the New World that he originally managed..."
"It's up to you?"
"That would be great, but obviously I'm not good enough in my father's eyes to handle these things."
"Since Rezia's sister came back from Carson Rik, her father has always put her in charge of diplomatic matters. Meeting foreign ambassadors, attending some banquets, or giving speeches in the kingdom's parliament, probably this kind of thing."
Adelina said that Rezia, who successfully completed the visit to the southern country on behalf of the royal family, successfully gained more power.
"Yes, yes, the taste of power is very good, but it also takes time. Fortunately, I can handle it."
Rezia smiled, and then the red-haired princess looked at Xia De again:
"I have to go back before nine o'clock in the morning. As for coming to see you so early, it's because you were busy saving your friends last Saturday, didn't you miss our class?"
"Is such that."
"So we have to make up for it. The matter of the spirit rune cannot be delayed, especially for you."
Xia De didn't speak, but glanced at Agelina, and Rezia shook her head:
"It's okay, Adelina is trustworthy. And she is very talented, no, I don't mean that she has become a ring magician. Adelina has been very inspired since she was a child." (Note)
"Yes, guessing heads and tails of coins, as long as the amount of data is large enough, I can achieve a success rate of more than 80%!"
The little princess said, then smiled and waved to the cat curled up in Xia De's arms, but the cat ignored her at all.
"Oh, such a strong inspiration?"
For ordinary people like this, there will almost certainly be an awakening at some point in the future. Of course, it's just "almost", it might just be luck.
"So you guess this, how about we guess ten times?"
Shad took out the [upright coin]. Dorothy heard Shad mention something he bought from Midhill Castle, so Rezia knew this too:
"Don't bully my sister. If you throw this, it can only stand on the ground. Xia De, let's talk about business. I want to entrust you to do something."
"whats the matter?"
Xia De asked curiously, and Rezia took out a photo from her skirt pocket. It was a man in the uniform of the Royal Army of De La Rion, a lieutenant by the epaulettes.
Flip to the back of the photo and it says "Wind Up Trail - 1st Company, Camp Redwater - Lieutenant Suwton".
"If you have time, help investigate this person. You don't need to be very careful, just need to know if he has had any strange large expenses recently."
Xia De raised his eyebrows:
"No problem, it's very simple."
Yesterday, he also helped the corporal who died in [Life and Death] to return the pistol to Captain Ronald in the Red Water Camp. He did not expect that there would be another mission related to that place. Maybe, he should go to the traveler's camp next to the Redwater camp on the Wind Riding Path, so he can go into the mountain to find the witcher's sword.
"After getting your reply, I will give you a suitable reward. No, there is no need to refuse. You know that the most important thing I need is gold pounds."
Rezia waved her hand, but she didn't explain what was wrong with Captain Ronald. She talked about another thing:
"About your [Sleep ~www.mtlnovel.com~] In the class two weeks ago, we have already started to try to read "The Sleeping Princess". How is the progress recently?"
"Not bad, I try to copy the stories written in ancient characters every day, the parchment is in the drawer now..."
Shad further emphasized:
"This time, I didn't burn it."
This sentence is emphasized because the parchments provided by Leizia that recorded the ancient texts of the fairy tales "Match Girl" and "Tree Kiss" were all destroyed by Shad as the price for obtaining the Mystic.
－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－
ps: In Chapter 484, Adelina mentioned that "the first time I saw you in the courtyard on the second-floor terrace of the Lake View Manor, I felt that you were different from everyone else."
This sentence is not polite.
