"Good ending..."

Princess Margaret nodded slightly, then looked at Xia De in front of her again:

"How should I thank you? Shade, you probably can't understand what this means to me."

Xia De really wanted to propose an appointment with Sir Priscia right now, but after thinking about it, he still planned to finish this small matter first:

"Tell me first, how to deal with Miss Brown. She is probably waiting for news anxiously. Let me tell you first, I will not kill people. Although she is a spy to you, to me, She was an excellent agent of her own country . . . a defected agent."

Thinking about it this way, Shade has every reason to kill Miss Brown, whether he is the active ace agent of MI6 or the gray-gloved ace spy "Grey Eagle".

"What are you talking about, who wants you to kill him?"

The princess shook her head slightly:

"If I knew about this a few years ago, I would have taught her a lesson. But now... she has defected to MI6, so she is no longer an enemy of Kasenrick. Although she probably knows Something about MI6..."

"You don't want to punish her."

Xia De used an affirmative sentence, and the princess with light blonde hair glanced at him:

"You said it, not me."

"Then the next letter, you said I would write it, or you wrote it yourself."

For a moment, Xia De felt that he really saw the princess smiling at him, but it seemed to be an illusion when he looked carefully:

"I'll write it myself, and I'll trouble you to deliver the letter to her."

She stretched out her hand to Shad, who held out her hand, letting the princess put her hand in his, and stood up from the sofa.

Marguerite Anjou looked out at the silver-white manor courtyard:

"Anyway, the guilt of the past eight years is finally gone..."

She asked Xia De softly:

"If I'm being unladyy and swearing at people right now, will you tell anyone else?"

Xia De looked at her suspiciously, and pulled out his ears:

"Sorry, what did you say? I didn't hear it."

The princess smiled, gritted her teeth and said:

"Joia Nicklaus, you bitch. Already have a fiancé? He will betray you sooner or later, just like you have been disloyal to my family."

After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The princess's "dirty words" were much more civilized than Shade's imaginary slang.

She opened her eyes and looked at Xia De:

"Knight, do you want to have lunch together?"

"it's here?"

Although Xia De has visited Canary Manor more than once, having lunch with a foreign princess here is no small matter.

"Yes, you have helped me so much, wouldn't it be too harsh if I chased you away at lunch time?"

As he spoke, he walked towards the door to inform the maid to prepare extra lunch, but there was a faint blush on his cheeks.

Coincidentally, Shad originally thought about seeing Miss Sylvia at the lunch table in the Canary Manor, but the witch didn't come back until Princess Margaret finished lunch with Shad. .

During the period, Xia De also inquired about Miss Sylvia's whereabouts today, and then unexpectedly learned from the princess who was tasting dessert, which is a small cake decorated with strawberries, that Miss Sylvia had her own business.

"My math teacher also has his own life."

She poked at the top strawberry with a fork:

"Recently, she has often received invitations from Duchess Galina."

The Princess of Carsonric spoke Delarion, and members of both royal families were fluent in both languages. As for Galina Cavendish, and the relationship between the detective in front of her and the duchess, the princess witch felt a little uncomfortable:

"I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone."

She pretended to look around the restaurant cautiously, but in fact there were only her two most trusted personal maids here, one of whom was a one-ring warlock:

"Miss Sylvia, actually, she likes pretty girls."

She was satisfied to see the tangled expression on Xia De's face:

"Oh, detective, so don't get too involved with Miss Sylvia, my teacher's character...is a bit unique."

She actually wanted to protect Xia De from getting too close to the big witch, but somehow the next sentence blurted out:

"So you have to be optimistic about your duchess, don't be cheated by my teacher."

After lunch, Princess Margaret had other schedules, while Xia De was going to deliver the letter. The two made an appointment to meet again at Canary Manor in the evening.

So Xia De still set off in a carriage. He thought that he would not encounter any trouble in sending the reply this time, but he did not expect that when he arrived at the door of the second-hand bookstore, he found that the neighbors were standing at the door and looking inside:

"What happened here?"

He also mixed into the crowd and learned the truth from the chatter. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, there was a sudden gunshot from inside the second-hand bookstore, followed by a very dense gunshot.

After a sound that sounded like a steam bomb exploded, only half a minute later, a man clutching his shoulder as if he had been shot escaped from the bookstore.

Not long after he left, a large number of police surrounded the place and took away Mr. Brown, the old bookstore owner who had just returned from collecting the bill and seemed to have no idea what had happened. Neighbors who are familiar with the situation of the old bookstore found that Miss Bella Brown did not show up, and the police also cordoned off the door of the old bookstore and were searching inside the bookstore at this time.

"Illegal firearms peddling here?"

Xia De first guessed like this, but quickly overturned his own thoughts, because he actually saw his boss, Director An Luosi.

The middle-aged man didn't see Xia De wearing a hat in the crowd. He entered the second-hand bookstore with a team of policemen, and whispered something to his companion. In ordinary defection incidents, he should not have to appear as the director. It must be that the "grey eagle" that appeared in the princess bomb attack not long ago made this gentleman smell something.

"Miss Bella Brown was exposed. Just after I left, people from MI6 came. How could there be such a coincidence?"

It seemed that the lady hadn't been caught yet. A shootout broke out between her and someone in the bookstore. After forcing away the man who was injured in the shoulder and suspected to be an MI6 agent, she fled from another direction. .

Thinking of this, Xia De took a detour to the alley behind the bookstore, and found that there were also policemen here. But it was probably because there were not many clues here, so the police simply blocked the place, which was not as tight as the front door.

Relying on the red butterfly illusion, Xia De sneaked into the alley and found a blood-stained scratch on the wall behind the second-hand bookstore. Later, I realized that the blood was not just a scratch. Miss Brown was also injured when she was fighting with a gun.

Taking advantage of the fact that the police in the alley didn't notice, he took out the red wine bottle, sucked the blood into the bottle to make blood brew, and then tricked the police again by illusion, and left here.

In a remote alley, he raised his head and dripped the blood into his eyes. The thaumaturgy [Echo of Blood] was activated, because the blood was very fresh, so when Shad returned to the alley where the incident happened, the coherent figure of Miss Bella Brown with a flush appeared clearly in Shad's eyes. In view:

"She was wounded. It was shot in the leg? Oh, it doesn't look like a bone."

The injured former agent did not dare to enter the main road, but got into a nearby alley and headed all the way to the north of Tobesk, away from Regent's Park. Xia De followed the figure through the alleys on this sunny winter afternoon, watching Miss Brown limping around the road.

She first used a key to open the door of an old apartment building in the east of the city, treated her wounds in the suspected safe house, and after taking some daily necessities and banknotes, changed her clothes, It was difficult to open the window and leave.

She even made a simple trigger steam bomb trap at the door using wire and gear traps. But Shad entered the door through the window, so there was no trigger at all. In order to protect his colleagues and thieves who might break into the place, Xia De took down those things thoughtfully.

After leaving the safe house, the injured Miss Brown walked around ~lightnovelpub.net~ and then continued north until she entered the slums in the north of the city. The alleys here extend in all directions, even strangers with the best sense of direction can easily get lost.

Miss Bella Brown didn't know if she got lost, or she was simply trying to confuse possible pursuers. After going the wrong way three times, she entered a narrow street with a rusted metal street sign "Long Ear Alley". After using the key to open the door of No. 7 Chang'er Lane, a coherent figure entered the house, but there were no figures walking out around:

"Hiding here?"

Long Ear Alley is an unremarkable alley in the northern slums of Tobesk. Strictly speaking, this is not a slum, but a neighborhood where poor people with a little money live. The streetscape here is not badly maintained. The towering houses move forward one by one along the street. Although there is no snow removal in front of each house, at least the street has been cleared to allow people to pass.

In order not to scare Miss Brown, Xia De didn't knock on the door, but directly used the "door key" to unlock the door and entered the house.

Since no one lives there all year round, the house is cold and damp, making it even more gloomy in winter. Probably to save money, although Miss Brown rented the place, she did not pay the gas bill, so all the lamps in the house were unusable. Entering the house is like entering a clammy coffin, the atmosphere is extremely depressing.

Following Miss Brown's translucent red figure, Xia De stepped on the creaking wooden stairs all the way to the second floor. Just as he turned into the corridor, he was shot on the forehead.

"It's not a good idea to point a gun at me."

Xia De said to the lady with a bad complexion, although she didn't recognize Xia De who was wearing eyeshadow immediately, she recognized his calm tone.
