Chapter 3129 "Reading"
After closing his eyes to banish distracting thoughts and petting the cat, Xia De really opened the book. This winter, he still had to take the skipping exam, which was to take the seventh and eighth grade courses.
Although there are no longer so many general education courses in the senior year, the pressure of review is still not small. Not to mention that he has not started writing many course papers. If he fails to submit the papers in time before the end of the year, he will not be able to get credits even if he takes the exam.
After quickly calculating the number of papers he needed to complete, Xia De had no other thoughts at all.
He thought he would while away this not-so-long night on the sofa, but unfortunately, other things disturbed him in the end.
At ten o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on the door, but before Shade could answer, the door was pushed open a crack. Then Tifa turned sideways and was unable to come in, so she had to push the door open a little more before coming in.
The black-haired head maid walked towards the sofa. Xia De put down the "Intermediate Time Exploration Guide" in his hand and asked curiously:
"Tifa, why are you back? Is there anything going on at the Moon Sanctuary?"
The girl, still feeling the cold from the outdoors, shook her head:
"Nothing, the lady just asked me to arrange for someone to send some more fruit and red wine over."
"and you."
"I've notified the kitchen to prepare. They'll leave first. The hot spring is very lively right now. When I left, the young ladies were taking turns telling stories in the hot spring. It won't be a problem if I go back half an hour late."
The maid stopped beside the sofa, then bent down to take off her black lace-up high-heeled boots and placed them neatly on the side of the sofa. Her black stockings stepped on the red carpet, and her eyes met with Xia De's for a moment, and then she suddenly smiled.
Pull the hem of the skirt with both hands, step back with the left foot to the back of the right heel with the toes on the ground, and then maintain this posture and bow gracefully while pulling the skirt:
"I'm so sorry to have left you out tonight."
The elegant and graceful head maid bowed her head to apologize, and Shade then realized that she had unbuttoned two buttons near her collar in advance, which was very conspicuous when she bowed.
"It's not that I'm being cold. You also went through the Battle of Vista Glades and need to relax and rest."
As he spoke, he stood up from the sofa. Mia, who was sitting next to a plate of sponge cake with jam on the coffee table, opened her right eye and looked at them, then continued to close her eyes comfortably and sniff the cake with her nose.
The maid loosened her skirt and ended her bow. Xia De noticed that she had put on light makeup tonight, and her slightly drawn eyebrows looked even more beautiful.
"So, you don't need me to keep you company, do you?"
Tifa put her hands behind her back and asked deliberately. Her big dark brown eyes were full of smiles, and her straight nose on her fair face particularly attracted Shade's attention.
"No, no, of course not. Please sit down?"
The maid was also amused by Xia De's reaction, but she still accepted the invitation, gathered her skirt and sat on the sofa, with her legs together and slightly tilted like a lady, and her hands on the skirt covering her legs.
Seeing that Shade wanted to bend down to pour her tea, Tifa reached out and pulled him back. She tilted her head and looked at Shade, and continued with a smile:
"So what were you doing?"
"I'm reading. You know, it's exam week at St. Byron's around the end of the year."
There is a look of concern in her beautiful big eyes:
"Miss Danister won't let you fail the exam, will she?"
Shade found that he had never sat on the same sofa with Tifa to chat like this. She always claimed that she was a maid and was unwilling to sit at the same table or seat with Carina and Shade. The only furniture they had shared was probably the bed. Therefore, it felt quite good for the two of them to sit together and chat:
"Miss Danister is a lady of principle. She won't cheat for me."
Then the pretty maid asked with a smile:
"Then did my appearance disturb your studies? In a noble family, if a maid disturbs her master's work because of her own private desires, it is a sign of the family's decline."
"Of course it won't bother me. I was planning to take a short break."
Xia De also said to her:
"After you and Carina go to Saladil County, you must also keep an eye on her and don't let her work too hard. I often hear people say that Carina is a duchess who works hard on government affairs."
"Miss is just very good at employing people. Saradir County has a complete administrative team. Miss only needs to make important decisions. And for Miss, returning to Saradir County should be considered a vacation. You know, Miss has a castle there, which is more luxurious than Yodel Palace."
"how about you?"
Xia De asked curiously:
"How are your accommodations there?"
Tifa sat with her legs crossed and tilted her head to think for a moment, as if she was trying to come up with words:
"The lady gave me a part of the side tower of the castle to live in, which is directly connected to the lady's bedroom, study and the underground part of the castle. I like standing in the tower window in spring and looking at the beautiful hills and vineyards surrounding the castle.
Seeing the first rays of morning light rising from behind the mountains and illuminating the earth with golden light always makes me more energetic for the day’s work.”
After saying this, she covered her mouth with her right hand and smiled reservedly:
"This seems to be a rare time that you ask me a personal question."
Xia De's understanding of the head maid was indeed limited to her own introduction and Jialina's explanation. He rarely took the initiative to ask about these things before:
"Sorry, I will later"
Tifa covered Shad's mouth with her hand again, leaned towards Shad, and brought her dark brown eyes closer:
"You don't need to apologize to me. I just didn't let you know enough."
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, and Shad tried to see Tifa's mood at the moment from those beautiful eyes, but he found that Tifa only had him in her eyes. Suddenly, Tifa smiled and took back her hand, then moved closer to Shad and kissed him, and everything came naturally.
When this sweet kiss ended, Xia De found that she had completely sat on the sofa. Her hands and her breasts were very close, and she was almost close to Xia De's face. She asked in a low voice with a smile:
"Shad, would you read a book twice?"
To be honest, the stranger did not understand the meaning of this sentence very clearly at the moment, so he told the truth:
"Yes, especially if they are very interesting books."
The tip of her straight nose had touched Xia De's nose. Her voice was a little hoarse, and the smell of perfume hit Xia De's nose directly:
"So do you want to continue reading the book, or read me again to get to know the real me?"
".Well, the book has always been in my hands, but you are about to go on a long journey. I want to know more about you, much more."
Smiling, the black-haired maid was obviously satisfied with the answer:
"I'm sorry. I saved you last night when I delivered the letter, but I couldn't keep you. Now that the hostess is at the hot spring, can you tell me what kind of blasphemous behavior you would do to the book?"
Her eyes seemed to be hooking Shade's eyes and looking down, looking at the place where the silver button was undone:
"Have you ever felt the warmth of a book with your head?"
The stranger was once again held down by the head, and she seemed to like doing this. While getting Shade's answer to the previous question, the maid squinted her eyes and looked at the gas lamp above her head. A blush rose on her cheeks, and she still reminded quietly:
"Matilda will be back in half an hour, too."
Of course, she wasn't sure if Xia De could hear her at the moment.
(Emilia stayed up late to review)
The girls who went to the "Moon Sanctuary" to soak in the hot springs had a great time. They were supposed to be back before midnight, but in fact, when Shade saw them on the deck, it was already 0:30 on Thursday morning:
"Ladies, the prince's ball ends at midnight. I told you to come back before then, or you'll become Cinderella. Why didn't you listen to me?"
He asked, and Carina patted his shoulder and walked towards the cabin:
"Isn't my prince right here?"
Tifa, who was following Carina, gave Shad a look that only they understood, and then Bella came over and kissed his cheek with a smile:
"And even if we forgot Zero's instructions, wouldn't the prince still find us?"
Matilda's eyes met Shade's, she pursed her lips and lowered her head. Flora came over next with her hair loose, she was in a good mood and bumped into Shade's shoulder:
"How can there be a Cinderella as beautiful as us? She is just a little girl who was bullied by her stepmother. How can she compare with us?"
Her words were unanimously agreed by everyone, and they all felt sorry that Xia De did not go with them.
After the girls came back, they went to rest. When Shade returned to his room, he welcomed his visitor tonight, Luvia. The purple-eyed girl got into bed in her nightgown and asked Shade with a smile if she was feeling good. The witches lent her perfume, and then she smiled and said:
"Don't wait for Dorothy. Dorothy seems to be busy with the oil painting with Flora. She will come to you after she gets home."
The fortune teller lady, who had not been intimate with Shade since the battle of Vista Glade, then excitedly let him know that bathing in hot springs can really make people full of energy.
At midnight, Shad, who was sleeping with Luvia in his arms, found himself in his dilapidated home again. The last time they met was early this Monday morning. He was a little curious about why the long-haired girl came to see him again so soon. After reaching the rooftop under the dim sky, he found the black long staff on the roof next to the long-haired girl.
"Is the enhancement completed?"
The appearance of the [Staff of Y'k'trasil] had not changed at all compared to before. Shad did not check it immediately, but sat down on the other side of Luvia.
