Chapter 2880 The Elves About to Depart
Shad decided to spend all his time today telling stories to Emilia, so he did not leave the hotel after saying goodbye to Iluna in the morning.
After lunch, Miss Danister received the news from the academy and went to the forest to bring back a batch of ritual materials that might be used tonight. When she came back from the forest, Flora was talking to Shade about Miss Belindel:
"Bella is almost done with her work in Yuewan. She said she will be here this weekend or next Monday. It's really not easy for her. Now the future of Yuewan is almost in her hands. Her sisters can help, but the decision still has to be made by her."
The red-haired girl who walked in asked:
"I heard that Moon Bay just held a new round of city hall elections, and the Belindel family led by Miss Bella Belindel won the biggest victory in ten centuries. She herself has now become the speaker of the city council, right?"
The witch on the short sofa nodded lazily:
"Yes. The greatest power in Yuewan is not in the hands of the mayor, but in the hands of the speaker of the city council. Perhaps the citizens chose her because they saw that the post-disaster reconstruction of Yuewan City and the liaison between the north and south trade routes under her leadership were going smoothly."
Then he looked at Xia De who was holding a cup of tea:
"Or maybe it's just like what Carina and the others said, because this generous gentleman gave the legal right to rule Moon Bay to the beautiful countess as a token of love. Shade, don't be so anxious to speak, I'm not mocking you.
I just want to say that people as generous as you are rare. You should know what it means that Yuewan is called the 'City of Wealth'. "
Miss Danister was hearing this story for the first time. After she sat down, she asked about it with great interest, and Flora repeated the story she had heard.
"That's not a token of love, it's just an ordinary gift. I know this gift may be a bit expensive, but Yuewan was originally maintained in order by the seven major families. In order for the lives of local citizens to remain unchanged or even get better, there is no need for me to become the 'king' there."
Shade defended himself, but it was obvious that Miss Artist still preferred to understand his behavior as a kind of "luxurious romance", and believed that the witch of fate, who always talked about "fate" and "future", probably became what she is now because she saw Shade's sincerity.
The news of Miss Belindel and Matilda's upcoming arrival is of course good news. The Great Witch of Fate was just promoted to the twelfth level this summer. Although the value of a fortune teller cannot be easily judged by his level, it is obvious that a skilled fortune teller will be popular everywhere.
For example, witches are generally stronger than Luvia, but everyone trusts Luvia.
[Is it really because of this reason? ]
In short, this Friday, Shade stayed in the hotel and did not go out. Instead, the witches were busy dealing with various matters.
Now that Carina is resting in bed, Vanessa and Sylvie go into the woods to explore for mithril veins; Miss Sylvia, who has just arrived, is busy maintaining the established portal with Dorothy. Due to the instability of the local time, the portal is also affected.
Grandma Cassandra was in charge of logistics, so Flora was the only witch left who had nothing to do.
She was therefore tasked with contacting the church, and therefore was not in the hotel in the afternoon.
Around 4 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Margaret finally appeared in front of Shade. Although the "mass coma incident" last night caused some waves, it had nothing to do with Margaret. She was tied up by the nobles who kept visiting her - it was obvious that Margaret of Anjou had a much higher chance of inheriting the throne than William of Anjou.
Shade was still talking to Emilia, and when she saw Margaret coming, the pointy-eared elf girl stood up and said she wanted to talk to Miss Danister again. She did not forget to close the door when she left, and the princess' maid also stayed outside the door with a tactful look.
"Shad!"
Margaret generously gave Shade a passionate kiss:
"After you left last night, I was really worried for a long time. But I know you can definitely solve the problem. I also saw you standing in front of the moon, but this is the first time I saw you wearing a red tuxedo."
"I don't really like that kind of clothes."
"I also feel that black clothes are more suitable for you. Maybe you only wear dark clothes normally. I'm really sorry that I can't come here to help for the time being."
She stood on tiptoe and rubbed Xia De's face with hers:
"My father sent me to Vista Forest. On the one hand, he wanted to clean up the mess my brother had made and suppress public opinion. On the other hand, he also wanted me to confirm whether the person he killed was our brother."
"You want to see the body?"
Shade asked, and Margaret nodded slightly:
"It's not like I haven't seen corpses before, but I'm afraid I'll be busy for a while. I just went to see Teacher Benanis, and she asked me to finish my personal business as soon as possible and come to help.
Now Miss Lathers is in Tobesk City, and the teacher doesn’t have any useful helpers around her.”
"Sirius will also be here next week, so you should go and do your thing first. But, does your father suspect that the deceased is not the illegitimate child?"
Xia De thought the matter was over, but Margaret was not so sure:
"Although my father gave me the power to mobilize the Gray Gloves, he didn't say why he suspected the deceased was suspicious. Maybe he has other personal intelligence officers of his own."
She smiled and looked at Shade again:
"But if I can handle this matter cleanly this time, my father promised me that he would let me take over some of the power of Gray Gloves later."
"promise?"
Shade asked this. Margaret knew what Shade meant, so she gently hit Shade:
"Don't think that those in power are the ones in the stories. You know. Although my father is also a qualified king, he can basically fulfill his promises to us children. Shade, if I can really take over the Gray Gloves this time, then I will..."
The brown eyes looked at Shade with sparkling eyes:
"I'll give you a raise!"
Shade laughed:
"Okay, this way I can buy better cat food for Mia. Now, Margaret, please allow me to thank you on behalf of Mia."
As he said this, he took the initiative to kiss Margaret again. The princess was very excited and pulled his clothes tightly. Xia De felt that if she pulled harder, his clothes would really be torn.
Because Emilia was leaving tonight, everyone gathered at the Accordion Inn for dinner that night, even Miss Elizabeth came - with Carina stationed on the Shining Messenger.
There was not even enough space on the table for so many people. Emilia wanted to thank everyone who had seen her off, but Dorothy stopped her with a smile.
"It will be too late to thank you when you come back."
The professors and elves of the academy did not come to see Emilia off, because for safety reasons, Miss Danister did not even inform them that Emilia would leave tonight. Even Grandma Kisara did not know what was happening tonight.
The elf in the forest said that she would send Emilia away through the ceremony she had prepared, so after dinner, Shad led everyone out from Lake Yuren.
In addition to him who brought the Night Watch, Miss Danister and Luvia also went to see him off. Besides that, Shad didn't even let Ajelina go with him. At seven o'clock that evening, the group had already arrived under the tree house, surrounded by Little Lianna and the Chocobos.
The elf girl was also ready to go, and when she jumped down from the second floor of the tree house, she was carrying a cross-body bag. If Emilia had not been too nervous at this time, she should have been able to find that the bag was exactly the same as the small bag she was going to bring with her except for the color.
"Are we going to go a long way?"
The pointy-eared elf asked the pointy-eared elf, and the pointy-eared elf replied:
"Yes, fortunately we have mounts."
The elves waved to the little unicorn at the same time, so little Lianna immediately walked towards them, and then hesitated, not knowing who to walk to. Her big blue eyes were full of hesitation, and her hooves moved left and right. Finally, the taller elf said:
"Little Lianna should be able to carry the weight of both of us."
Shad, Miss Danister, and Luvia each chose a chocobo. Shad chose the yellow one because its fur was similar to Mia's. Fortunately, the cat was not here yet, so it would not comment on Shad's choice.
The little unicorn led the way, and the three chocobos followed behind them. Iluna was right, riding a chocobo did not require any skills at all, and it was even easier than riding a horse.
Shade sat astride the back of the fast-running Chocobo, while Luvia and Miss Danister sat sideways. Without Lianna deliberately speeding up, the Chocobos could keep up with the Moon Unicorn.
The little beast seemed to be running quite happily. After all, Emilia and its elders in the academy would not allow it to run around like this. On a moonlit night in late autumn, the moonlight shone on the forest floor from above the bare trees, making the little unicorn's holy white hair even more dazzling.
Emilia sat behind the forest elf girl, holding her waist to stabilize herself. The wind blew across her cheeks, bringing a biting chill. Looking back, three chocobos, one yellow and two blue, followed closely. Shade, who was crouching low, even smiled at her.
Then Emilia inexplicably felt that she was no longer so nervous. She was being taken to the future, but her real destination was the past. As the little elf hugged the elf in front of her, she suddenly felt that from the first meeting with Shade in the Randall Valley to the journey she was about to face, this wonderful experience of less than a year seemed to have become her whole life.
