Chapter 2708 Rewarding Farewell and Honesty

【no. 】

"She" whispered in his ear. Although Shade was a little surprised, he still smiled and answered Margaret's question:

"No, I guess James Cumming is not your brother."

"You really know everything. Is there anything in this world that you don't know?"

The blonde princess asked in a spoiled tone, but she did not forget to tell Shade more detailed findings:

"The woman my father met at the masked ball more than 20 years ago has been dead for 15 years. She is not Mrs. Cumming. Although my brother is a little stupid, he still found out that the woman did give birth to a boy.

No one knows what happened to the boy after the woman died, but he had blond hair like us and was said to be quite good-looking. He had lived in Vista Grove for at least fifteen years and spoke with a local accent.

After I return, my brother will continue to investigate. Although his arm is injured, it does not affect his actions. As for whether Colonel Dupont is a spy and the secret meeting of the Drenauer Restorationists, my brother can go to investigate or not, but it will affect my father's evaluation of him. "

It was good that James Cumming was not a bastard of the Angevin royal family, and Shade did not want such a complicated family to be mixed up with the royal family. But in this case, it was still unknown who James Cumming's biological father was, and the bastard of the royal family in his twenties might still be in the local area.

"If the illegitimate child is still alive, will he affect your inheritance rights? If he is just a illegitimate child, it shouldn't have any impact, right?"

Xia De asked with interest. Margaret nodded slightly and her voice became very low:

"Of course it won't affect him. Even if it does, my brother and I will make sure it doesn't affect him."

She saw Shade's expression of awe, so she covered her mouth and smiled and said:

"What are you thinking? After all, it is the bloodline of the Anjou family. We are just taking some legal measures. It is a law and order recognized by everyone that illegitimate children have no inheritance rights. This is related to the foundation of the nobility. We may not even need to do anything. Of course, this mainly depends on the attitude of the father.

He definitely knew about the existence of this child, but he never seriously looked for it for so many years. I actually don’t understand why.”

Shad didn't understand royal affairs, but as long as Margaret had her own ideas, she could always ask Shad for help, and Shad was always willing to help.

"Oh, and about the matter of the Golden Music Hall that you asked me to help investigate, I have already found the professors who were sent to work with the engineering team and recorded the original appearance of the temple."

Margaret continued, resting her head on Shade's chest intimately:

"They are from Tower Gate Bridge University in Willendel, which ranks third in the country in comprehensive rankings. However, the Golden Music Hall was renovated so long ago that only one of the participants is still alive and can answer your questions."

"It's okay if there's only one left. Is he in Willendel? Have you met him?"

"No, he settled in Vista after retirement. Yes, in this city. I'll tell you the address."

She whispered the address, then smiled and got up:

"Since you guessed my question correctly, I will give you a reward."

Her Royal Highness the Princess blinked and said, Shade smiled and stroked her hair:

"I don't want any reward. Just let me hold you and chat with you for a while before you leave. The next time we meet, the matter of Vista Forest will probably be over."

But Margaret didn't want to just hug Shad. She jumped off the sofa and stepped on the carpet with her feet in black fabric. Then she took Shad's hand and asked him to stand up.

"Don't move, my knight."

As he spoke, he bent down in front of Xia De who was standing upright, until he knelt on the soft carpet, then looked up at him with a smile.

"Wait a minute Margaret!"

"Are you shy now? It's not like you haven't let me touch you before, and I also asked Miss Servet for advice when we were in Moon Bay."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand.

"Wait a minute, why is Tifa with you?"

The clothes covered the cat, preventing it from looking around. The princess, with a blushing face, began her practice.

The whole process went smoothly, except that when she finished washing and sprayed perfume and was about to go downstairs with Xia De, she quietly told Xia De a secret:

"In fact, I wanted to ask Miss Bell to inform Miss Winslet that she had just gone upstairs."

"What are you going to do?"

"It wasn't me. It was Teacher Sylvia who gave me the advice. She said that I could let Miss Winslet know that you and I have a special relationship. But I think that's a bit too much."

She held Shade's arm affectionately:

"But I haven't told Teacher Sylvia that something has happened between you and Teacher Benanis. Don't worry, I will wait for her to find out."

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed due to the smile on his face.

Margaret came in a hurry and left in a hurry. After having breakfast with everyone in the morning, she went to the train station surrounded by maids and guards. She will attend the charity auction with her mother in Willendale this afternoon. No one will know that she went to Vista Woodland for a short time this weekend.

Miss Winslet seemed a little silent during breakfast that day, and she didn't even notice that Margaret saw the sausages on the plate while eating, and she pursed her lips to hold back her smile and looked at Shad frequently. When she said goodbye to Margaret, she only gave the princess a box of souvenirs for Miss Sylvia to thank Margaret for the gift.

After Margaret left, Miss Bell and Miss Danister waited in tacit understanding for the witch to start, and the latter asked Shade as expected:

"I let you run away yesterday, so what does the Witch Emperor mean? Yesterday's heavy snow covered two-thirds of the area of ​​Vista Forest. What is this power?"

Shade glanced at the red-haired girl. She looked normal, as if the conversation yesterday evening had never happened. Shade guessed that Miss Danister probably didn't say much, so he considered and answered:

"Miss Winslet, you know I have some special time talents. In fact, in addition to using the twisted tree hole, I can also use the regular time key to travel through time in a certain sense. Yes, real time travel. Remember the potion 'Warmth' I gave you? That is an ancient formula brought back from the past."

"You still say you are not the chosen one of time!"

The witch brought up the topic again, and Shade immediately shook his head:

"No, absolutely not. I am sure of that. I did not expect what happened yesterday. I was injured on the verge of life and death, and when I fell asleep on the boat, I somehow saw the witch I had seen on adventures in the past. She took the initiative to help me. It was that simple."

"Miss Owl" thought for a moment, then looked up and confirmed:

"So, you can always meet the Witch Emperor of the Fifth Era? You actually know many, many demigods and 13th-order witches? You know the secrets of the Fifth Era better than any of us?"

Even Miss Danister looked at Shade with interest. After all, Shade had never explained it to her seriously:

"Of course I didn't meet a great witch every time. Most of the time I just met ordinary witches. Once I even met an ordinary man from the Fifth Age. As for the secrets of the Fifth Age, no, no, I don't know enough, or I just saw some corners of history.

Those are stories that no one knows about, some of which have no impact on the course of history, while others directly affect the present. That’s about it.”

Flora Winslet nodded slightly. She was very happy with Shade's honesty. As long as Shade was willing to talk, she didn't care what else Shade was hiding. Just as she said, she enjoyed the process of exploring secrets like this:

"Well, can you tell me some stories from the past? Tell me about the ancient witches."

"of course."

Miss Owl smiled immediately, but then she thought of something else:

"Carina knows about this, right?"

"of course."

"Then what about the materials about the Fifth Age that she has been bringing out in the parliament since last year, as well as the skills, spells, and documents of the ancient witches that have long been lost?"

"Yes, most of them are related to me. In fact, strictly speaking, Jialina's promotion from the eleventh ring to the twelfth ring is also related to me. A very powerful demigod witch saw that I could use the power of a witch, so she wrote a study notebook for me."

Flora Winslet's mouth twitched. She admitted that she was a little jealous, so she poked Shad gently, but did not say that she also wanted to read the notes:

"You know, now I am no longer surprised by these things. I even suspect that you are the God Summoner."

Young Miss Charlotte Bell blinked, and Danister Gustave smiled.

Xia De looked at the witch of death, and the witch also looked at him. She actually had the answer in her heart. But now she enjoyed the feeling of exploration and discovery, so she decided to continue to observe slowly.

She was very satisfied with this frank conversation, so she did not ask any more questions, but took Xia De's arm and pulled him up:

"Go take a look at my third painting. I've been so inspired lately. I didn't paint an owl on it this time."

This sentence was said to the red-haired girl.

She did not add an owl to the third painting, because she was the protagonist in that painting. Compared with the creativity of the first two paintings, the third painting is a very standard "heroic epic" painting.
