Chapter 500 with Lecia
It seems that not only does Miss Galina dislike such a banquet , and there are other worries today.

Miss Jialina was very sensitive and found Shade's sight in the crowd below. She shook her head at Shade indistinctly, not knowing what she wanted to express.

Without making a speech on the stairs, Queen Diana, surrounded by the Princess Prince of Cavendish and the noble ladies, came from the stairs along the cleared passage to the sound of music. Large terrace on the second floor. Standing here, not only the guests on the second floor and the courtyard, but even the pedestrians on Silver Cross Avenue, as well as people on the second and third floors of nearby places such as St. Teresa Square, can see her.

The terrace itself was the place where the king delivered his official address to the nation.

Because there were so many people, Shade didn't try to squeeze in front to watch Queen Diana's speech. He supported Dorothy and sat back on the sofa cautiously. Just now, when Laccia followed the queen to the second floor and walked into the terrace, Dorothy almost fell directly on top of Shade.

"Really, you shouldn't have come to this banquet knowing that this is going to happen."

Shade sat Dorothy down, intending to use [Syndia's "Silver Moon Gift" for treatment, but was rejected by Dorothy with a wave of her hand; The queen's voice amplified with a loudspeaker was completely muted.

"It's just a moment of discomfort, I thought I was far enough away."

She didn't lie, her complexion did recover at a speed visible to naked eyes. It's just that there is still sweat on the forehead, and the slender golden hair that is not coiled on the temples is deliberately left, which sticks to the cheeks because of the sweat.

"Is Lascia all right?"

Shade was even more worried that Lascia would suddenly collapse in front of everyone's eyes.

"It's okay, she took painkillers ahead of time."

"What?"

Shade frowned in surprise, but Dorothy pursed her lips and shook Shaking his head:

"That's the only way to do it. This is something that can't be helped. As long as we don't get close, this kind of thing won't happen. I'm afraid we won't be able to really look at each other in our life."

Fortunately, Dorothy's writer friends were standing on tiptoe behind the crowd, trying to see Queen Diana who was giving a speech, so Dorothy's anomaly was not seen by many people .

After the Queen's speech, the lively banquet officially began. Queen Diana did not leave, but was interviewed by reporters and chatted with acquaintances of noble ladies. The young Princes and Princesses of the Cavendish Xu Family also chose to do their own thing. Shade counted them carefully. There are more than ten children of the king who appeared today.

The reproductive ability of Larousse III is really the strongest among the previous kings.

Marquis Grassley quickly sent his servants over and told Shade to join them at the gaming table by the wall on the second floor. Just before Shade said goodbye to Dorothy's writer friends, another maid came from the third floor, and it was Miss Galina who asked Shade to go up.

So I can only say goodbye to Dorothy temporarily, and ask the servant to apologize to the Marquis Grassley, who will probably be a little late.

When I met Miss Galina on the third floor, the extraordinarily beautiful Duchess looked troubled tonight. She asked Tifa to confirm that no one was eavesdropping outside the door, and then whispered to Shade a slightly horrifying fact:

"There was a thirteen-ring warlock at this banquet."

"What?"

"Don't worry, it's the thirteen-ring warlock of the church, the 'iron right hand' Sally Pilot who created the church."

Miss Galina was sitting at the dresser with the chair facing the Shade position, frowned a little unpleasant, but with the red ball gown dragged on the rug and the shimmering hair accessories it made her look prettier :
"I only heard about it at 7:40. The steel right hand was originally stationed outside the [Darkness Domain], and only returned to the city temporarily after the past few days and the 'Sunshine Sword' shift. It was Queen Diana's invitation to him, which is surprising, the royal family rarely invites the high-level ring warlock of the Orthodox Church."

"What does the queen invite this gentleman to do?"

"I don't do anything, it's just a simple invitation. It's normal to send invitations to rich people in the city on my birthday. But my nephew, Larousse III, was a little angry because of this. He originally planned to He just showed up, but didn't show up because of this. He has always opposed the royal family bypassing him and privately contacting the top of the church."

"But the queen is just."

Shade's eyes narrowed slightly:
"Is she really just a rise and an invitation?"

"I'm glad you didn't take Diana directly as a simple person."

Miss Galina said with a smile, then asked Tifa to rub her shoulders. Shade then mentioned about Darkness. When the two met in the afternoon, because they were in a hurry, he didn't have time to say:
"Darkness has entered Tobesque. At least before last night, he had entered the city limits. I'm sorry."

"Have you met him again?"

Miss Galina tilted her head slightly:

"Is he really Came to seek revenge on you? Oh, it's fun now."

She tapped the back of the cushioned armchair with the Cavendish Xu Family emblem on the back with her slender fingers:
"I thought I would be able to relax for a few days, but now I can't. Really, the council asked me to kill Darkness. Shade with my own hands. After this matter is over, I will thank you for your information. If there is For other information, remember to tell me immediately, don't try to catch him yourself, you don't know how powerful the ancient evil spirits are, even if Warlock of the 13th ring fights him rashly, he may not be able to win easily."

"No problem, Miss Galina."

The Duchess raised her eyebrows suddenly, a smile on her face:
"Why don't you thank me now. Tifa, take the detective to find Little Lei Siya. When I came back from the second floor just now, I saw her entering the east corridor, probably going to her lounge."

Approx. Although the main building of Del Palace has some rooms as the living places for members of the royal family, it also plays a strong administrative role. As a Princess who has participated in government affairs, Laccia has her own study or lounge here. Few of the unmarried daughters of Larousse III had this treatment.

"Remember not to go through the banquet hall to prevent anyone from seeing it. Go up the stairs on the east side. If you meet someone, say that I will let the detective go downstairs to get something."

She arranged, the maid nodded, and Shade also stood up from the chair:
"Miss Galina, I should stay at Yodell Palace until about eleven o'clock, if there is anything else tonight You can come and find me on the second floor at any time."

"I know, you have an appointment with someone to play Rhodes. Speaking of Rhodes, Queen Diana will probably give you a surprise tonight, You can look forward to it for a while."

She said with a smile while holding her face.

Under the guidance of Tifa, Shade circled around the east side of the third floor for a long time before he saw the narrow stairs used by the servants. Walking through the maze-like building, I didn't meet anyone on the way.

After stopping in front of the door with the number "Resia Cavendish" hanging on it, Tifa motioned for Shade to knock on the door:
"His Royal Highness Lacia Cavendish probably won't like to see it. Come to me."

The black hair maid gave Shade a playful wink, and if the younger Iluna did this action was cute, then Tifa's action was playful and a little charming. After that work as a detective assistant, she seemed to have a different perception of Shade:

"Then I'll go back first, Shade, there may be something else I need to do on the lady's side."

she said in a low voice.

"Okay, bye, Tifa."

"Have a good time tonight."

As she said, the maid revealed to Shade He smiled, then stepped on the carpet and turned to leave.

Shade made sure that the other person's back disappeared at the corner of the corridor, and then reached out and knocked on the door lightly.

"Who is it?"

Lecia's voice from inside, although it was a little dull across the door, still made Shade smile:

"It's me."

He believed in his own voice, and Lacia could hear it.

I just finished speaking, but I didn't hear the footsteps that sounded immediately. Instead, after waiting for a while, a footstep that was obviously not Laixia approached the door.

When the door was opened, Shade saw a young man with reddish-brown hair, a little shorter than him, in a black tuxedo and white shirt, with a pocket watch chain sticking out of his breast pocket. on the buttons. His skin was dark and his eyebrows were thick. He asked Shade at the door suspiciously:
"Sir, who are you?"

"It's my friend."

Before Shade could speak, Agelina Princess's voice sounded in the room.

Shade looked into the room and saw that there were quite a few people in it. In addition to the servants, there were Ajeelina Princess, Lecia, and several other young men and women that Shade did not know.

Among them were several girls that Shade had met when he was in the Prophet's Association, but because he didn't remember their names, he treated them as ignorant.

"Mr. Hamilton is my friend, and I asked the servant to find him and wait with us for the dance to begin."

Agelina Princess said again, and the door The young man stepped aside to let Shade in. He looked suspiciously at Shade, only to realize when Shade passed him:

"Hamilton of Rejed!"

"Yes, it's me."

"Hamilton of Rejed!" p>

Shade admitted.

"You are the rumored lover of Miss Galina?"

Shade stopped frowned and looked towards him:
"Sir, this is rude, please don't Slandering Miss Galina's reputation."

Not only him, but also Laixia and Agelina frowned. Although the rumors are all over the place, these things can't be said like this.

The aristocratic young man in front of him, who doesn't know his name, is obviously somewhat hostile to Shade. Although I don't know where this hostility comes from, Shade is not the kind of person who submits to humiliation, and he is slandered for doing nothing, which is the most annoying:
"Sir, Please apologize to Miss Galina."

"Yes, I'm a little sloppy."

When it comes to the powerful Duchess in the country, the other party obviously realizes that she is blurting out emotionally. words are inappropriate. But after a very insincere apology, he looked Shade up and down again, eyebrows raised raised his head slightly and said:
"Mr. Hamilton, I heard that you are the detective of St. Teresa Square? It's like that."

This tone is extremely frivolous, in other words impolite.

"Then detective, why don't you reason, what were we doing just now?"

He said with a smile:

"Plaza St. Teresa The detective, should have this kind of ability."

Shade looked towards the others, most of them also thought it was very impolite to talk like this, while a few girls were trying to tell Shade with expressions, what happened here just now what.

"That's it"

Shade turned to the maid by the wall, his back to everyone, he extended the hand and said to Ms. Hels, the head maid of Laccia:

"Ma'am, lend me a gun."

As he spoke, he drew the [Gun of Kindness] from his waist. Although there were two other maids who saw this scene besides Ms. Hulls, no one dared to say anything.

"This gentleman, apart from being a detective, I'm actually a Knight."

Shade lowered his head and slid away the bullet nest.

Because 【Gun of Kindness】can use the spirit of the ring warlock to generate bullets, he usually does not put bullets in it, and now all the six bullet chambers are empty.

Shade reached into his pocket, took out a bullet, showed it to the surprised crowd, and pressed the bullet into the cylinder.

"And the most important thing for Knight and detectives is actually courage."

Putting the bullet nest back to the correct position, he showed the young aristocratic young man with thick eyebrows at the door. Pistol:
"Since you're questioning my detective abilities, why don't we take a gamble? No, Rhodes is so boring, let's bet this."

finger With a flick, the cartridge immediately spun up. When the cartridge was secured again, Shade picked up the gun and signaled to the other party:
"You come first or I come first? I think you understand what I mean."

"Oh, you, you Crazy!"

The youth in black tuxedo looked at Shade in disbelief, Shade shook his head:

"This is an honorary bet, in the old days, Knights were very happy to Defend your reputation in this way."

"You don't have to take a risk for this man, Mr. Hamilton. This is the youngest son of the Dimock count, Mr. Jason Dimock. "

The voice of Agelina Princess came from the side, but Shade was not interested in knowing who it was:
"Then, Mr. Dimmock, will you come first or me?"

"You"

"Okay, I'll come first."

Shade pointed the [Gun of Kindness], which could never be used for suicide, at his own. Temple, pull the trigger before anyone else can.

There was a click ~ a sound, and sure enough, no bullets were fired.

"It's your turn."

Shade took a few quick steps and handed the gun forward, but Mr. Dimock was obviously afraid to take it:
"You"

"Oh, twice per person?"

As he was about to raise his gun again, the young man in a tuxedo immediately stopped him:
"No, no, I mean "Yes"

"Oh, one at a time, but you want me to shoot?"

Shade raised the muzzle, and Mr. Dimmock immediately raised his hands:

"Knight, calm down, please listen to me, why should I bet with you?"

"Because you offended Miss Galina and my reputation."

Shade smiled and put the revolver down, but he still stared at him:

"Anyway, you want me to pull the trigger three times first, and then you try the last three."

Because he's confident the gun won't kill him, the look on Shade's face shows that he's definitely not joking.

"No, I"

Jason Dimock looked towards the others in the room, tried to ask for help, but no one spoke at this time. Not only because Shade is holding a gun, but also because Shade actually makes a lot of sense.

Even if they do play a dangerous game here and die because of it, the living will not be punished too much.

"I, I'm a little sick, sorry."

Seeing no one to help him, the noble young man in a tuxedo stepped backwards and approached the door, then opened the door and walked away Go out, no matter what the friends in the room think.

"Tsk."

Shade shook the head, holding Rob and turned around and looked towards the entire group sitting on the sofa. Seeing that no one was talking, he pushed the cartridge back open and took out the bullet in it.

Judging by the position of the bullet, a 6th pull of the trigger should bring it to the barrel.

"You're so impulsive."

Agelina Princess said immediately, sitting on the sofa, and winked at Shade, which was very playful.

"Sorry about this happening, sorry, you guys go to the banquet hall first."

The real owner here said to friends, so people bypassed Shade Left the room, but mostly smiled nodded at Shade. It seems that what happened just now will definitely spread throughout this banquet.

After the guests left, Lecia looked towards the servants standing by the wall. After shaking her head slightly, Ms. Hulls led the servants to leave first.

After everyone left, except for her and Shade, there was only Agelina Cavendish sitting on the sofa.

Little Princess was originally carrying a china teacup, but when she saw her elder sister stood up from behind the desk and walked quickly to the center of the room, she was pointing the gun to Shade at the waist. , and subconsciously put the teacup on the coffee table, then craned his neck and looked towards them.

Lecia stretched out her right hand and raised the bowed Shade's head. The red-haired girl wrapped her left arm around him, then kissed him on her feet.

"Oh~"

Little Princess said softly, her face flushed and her eyes looked towards them without blinking.

"What's the relationship between you two?"

It took a long time before she picked up her teacup again, and asked in a low voice while holding the teacup sideways.

Lecia pushed Shade away, gasped for breath, and brushed the red hair that was scattered around her ears. The blush on her cheeks could not be concealed by her blush.

Her breath was a little unsteady when she spoke, but the smile on her face was very obvious:
"Shade saved me, thank you."

These words were present None of the three believed, but Agelina didn't ask any more.

"I wanted to do this last time."

Lescia smiled and said to Shade again, she was looking at Shade up close, her eyes were bright at this moment:

"I've been wanting to say thanks to you after the hasty parting west. Was going to kiss you on Saturday, but was put off by all the damn things, and now I've finally done it, and it feels so good."

"Lexia elder sister, the last sentence should be the line of the male character."

Little Princess immediately reminded that Laccia did not pay attention to her younger sister.

"Shade, Agelina didn't want to be fathered by someone she didn't like because of political reasons, so she asked me for help. She is someone she can trust, so she just saw her It's okay."

Lecia added:

"I sometimes leave Tobesque, if you can't find me, but you're in trouble in town, you can Ask Agelina for help. She's always at Yordle House, but her maid can come and go relatively freely, and I'll have her give you her contact details in a moment."

"I'm in the city. It's peaceful here."

Shade said, carefully wiping off the lipstick on his lips with the back of his hand:

"Then Laccia, just now When you went to the second floor, were you all right?"

He was still worried about it.

"It's alright. Sit down and let's have a good chat. I know you're thinking about playing Rhodes, but it shouldn't matter if you miss an hour or two."

"It doesn't really matter if you play cards or not."

Shade said lightly, Laccia covered her mouth and chuckled, and Ajeelina seemed to want to say something, but at this time, the door was unexpectedly blocked again. knocked.
