Chapter 405 The Detective in the Closet
dong dong dong ~
As Shade turns his gaze At the door, there was a knock on the door. Lazia frowned looked towards the door in dissatisfaction, and the guard outside the door informed Princess that it was the owner of the manor, Miss Shivi Avrolla.

"That woman, really. Shade, find a place to hide first."

Lecia said to Shade apologetically, and then saw that Shade was ready to hide under the desk:

p>

This is the guest room of the manor, used as a temporary lounge for banquets. The most convenient hiding place is actually the bathroom in the room, but Shade always felt that it was not a safe place.

After discovering that it was not safe under the desk, his eyes immediately saw the wardrobe standing in the corner, so he immediately opened the wardrobe and got in. Except for the fishing rod standing in the corner, it was full of women's clothing.

I don't know if it was the clothes that Laccia brought or the clothes that the Great Demon girl prepared for Princess. After Shade entered, the smell of pungent spice and saponin almost made him sneeze immediately. .

Lecia saw Shade closing the wardrobe door neatly from the inside, but immediately stuck her head out:
"Miss maid, hurry up, stand in front of the cupboard!"

This is to prevent staying in a confined space for too long and being heard by the sensitive Demoness when breathing heavily due to lack of oxygen.

The young maid who led Shade over just now looked towards Laccia hesitantly, and Princess asked with a smile:

“Why are you so skilled?”

But still gently nodded, and the maid quickly came to the front of the cabinet. With a peaceful smile on his face, he clasped his hands together on his stomach.

The cabinet door closed behind her, and Shade glanced out from the crack of the door, making sure that she could only see the back of the maid, and was relaxed.

Laccia grabbed the rabbit blanket over her body and sat back on the sofa:
"Come in."

At the manor's owner, dressed in After the descendant of the ancient family in the red dress entered the door, she stood up sleepily.

Entering the door was a lady with long, curly, wavy, brown hair. Wearing a slightly serious dark brown dress, the waist of the skirt has a corset embellished with broken gems. Although she has a smile on her face, her slender beauty and three-dimensional facial features make her look extraordinarily majestic.

It's just that Shade didn't have time to appreciate the charm of Demoness for the time being. He was entangled in a pile of clothes because he rushed into the closet too hard. He held his breath, kept a still posture, and didn't even dare to use big movements to untie the crony that was wrapped around him.

Demoness didn't come here, not to notice the existence of Shade, but to talk to Laccia about the Coldwater Harbor Shipyard.

Of course, she would not agree to so many shares that Laccia asked for, but wanted to use cash, or ten-year dividends from other properties of the Avrolla family as the price.

Even, Miss Avrora handed Laccia a bottle of liquid that Shade couldn't see at all:

"Your Highness, you should also know that this There are some secrets in the world that we ordinary people don't know. Look at this, it's a potion called 'mermaid slime', not a murloc, but a mermaid."

"What is this? Use?"

Lecia's tone was monotonous, showing that she wasn't interested in this.

"Adding this to a puff, one drop at a time, for a year, can make your skin look better."

"It's really good stuff, but I think I You shouldn't need it."

With the [Youth Immortality Leaf] lent to her by Shade, the less effective potion Laccia really doesn't need it.

"Ma'am, although I know you don't want to build warships, it takes more for me to convince father and convince him of it."

"Those shares It's definitely not possible, it's too much, that's too much."

Demoness's tone was very soft, although the expressions on both sides could not be seen, but Shade, who was entangled with women's clothes in the wardrobe, subconsciously I thought that Miss Avrora was talking with a smile:
"Your Highness, what do you want? We've been talking for so many days, and it's time for you to say what you really want."

"Shares I can only take a tenth, but I want your new shipyard to help me build some boats."

Lecia said.

"What kind of ship?"

"This kind of ship."

Then came the sound of flipping pages, and it seemed that Laccia was carrying the documents with her . After a moment of silence, Miss Avrora's tone was confused:

"If I understand correctly, Your Highness, the kind of ship you want to build is the army. Maybe I misunderstood. Is it?"

She must not have misunderstood, and she is sure that she has not misunderstood, this is a temptation.

As for Shade in the closet, he has covered his mouth to prevent his breathing from being disturbed by hearing information that he should not have heard. If he's not mistaken, Lecia wants the Avrolla family's shipyard to help her secretly build some large steam ships that can be used in the military, in exchange for her helping Avrolla lobby in Tobesque.

"Yes, your understanding is wrong, you just need to build the boat, I won't install weapons on the boat."

Lecia said, followed by a long of silence.

"Once I agree to this request, it means that I have tied my family to you. Your Highness, I cannot make this decision lightly."

A Miss Flora said.

"It's ok, you can think about it slowly."

"Yes, think about my family's only shipping business, but never thought about getting involved in Delarion's politics ."

Demoness's voice was at a moderate pace, and while the conversation seemed to be dominated by Laccia, Shivi Avrolla was not at a disadvantage from start to finish.

"The opening of the new continent has given you those who do shipping business a different capital than before. Miss Avrora, your family cannot escape the influence of the change of power in the kingdom, even if it is not I, will be someone else."

Lecia said, her tone was monotonous, and she couldn't hear her true feelings at all.

"Makes sense, but I'd prefer to do legal business."

"Legal?"

Lecia's tone was somewhat mocking Means:
"Ma'am, what exactly did your fleet do in the sea, I think even the beggar in Coldwater Harbor has heard of it. How many of the fleets of the Seven Pirate Kings in the Outer Seas have nothing to do with you?"

"Only two are related to me."

Demoness said in a tranquil voice, Lecia smiled:
"Miss Avrolla, now is the time of change, everything is In the process of change, even if it is an ancient lineage like Avrolla, if it wants to continue to take the lead in the surging tide of the times, it is impossible not to make changes."

Shade only told Laccia, Shivi Avrolla was a female warlock from the ancient ring warlock family, and she didn't tell her that the other party was twelve rings. Otherwise, Lecia might not be able to speak in this tone. But if he told, at this time Princess's strange behavior will be noticed by the other party, so it is correct not to tell.

"Yes, you're right, but I think I need to think about it. After all, the family is not my own, and we have other partners in our business."

p>

Demoness at a moderate pace.

And to Shade in the closet, Lecia didn't ask for anything at all. Princess wants to build a bridge through the cooperation of this time, and then step by step to deepen the imprint of Laccia Cavendish on the Avrolla family.

But it was clear that Shivi Avrolla was no ordinary woman. Even if she wanted to gamble with a certain member of the royal family in the tide of change, she would definitely have to get the hint and permission of Galina Cavendish, who also belongs to the Demoness Council.

This ancient ring warlock family must have its own unique method to survive to this day. From Shade's point of view, Lecia's idea will probably not succeed unless she can come up with more attractive chips.

Outlander in the closet breathes the smell of the clothes that haunt him, listening quietly in the dark as Princess and Demonness confront each other. Gained a better understanding of the political tactics of this era and the current situation in Delarion.

Speaking of which, these things are fantastic for Shade. Obviously he has integrated into his current life, but when he hears these political situations, he has a sense of separation.

Delarion's royal residence is just a block away from St. Teresa Square, but he always thinks that what happens in that palace is in that building that is almost the center of the kingdom The resulting conspiracy and plan are actually far away from themselves.

But it wasn't until this moment, in this slightly comical gesture, that he heard Princess's talk that he suddenly felt like he was part of the historical process.

"But Lecia's tactics are still not brilliant enough. If it were me, I would at least have dinner at Sophia's mansion, arrange a performance during the meal, warn the other party about the consequences of refusing the proposal, and then think about it in Demoness' mind. At the same time, take out her own chips and her own advantages. But she will not immediately ask the other party to give an answer, but let her go back to think, and on the second day, mobilize the navy in Coldwater Harbor to conduct exercises to entertain guests, decapitate, and accept the pawn. "

I can't help laughing at myself when I think of this. These are all opinions that foreigners think outside the box, and they are very subjective. The reality is more complicated, and perhaps his thoughts are more ridiculous.

[Outlander, are you good at this thing? ]

The "she" whispered in his ear, and every time Shade heard her voice in the dark, he always imagined her behind him.

"Of course not, I didn't learn this when I was in my hometown, these are just hearsay."

Shade in the heart replied , and then suddenly heard Lecia outside raising With a loud voice, their topic just now turned to this unfortunate banquet.

"Ma'am, you're so rude!"

Shade stared wide-eyed, remembering what Miss Galina said about Shivi Avrolla's hobby.

"Is it the tradition of the Avrolla family to touch a lady's hand casually?"

Lecia's voice showed that she was a little angry, while Shade in the cabinet was sighed in relief .
