Chapter 433 Princess in the Prophet Society

Mr. Mark and President Stan are both from Shade Friends, these two gentlemen seem to be fine today, and they actually invited Shade to the office upstairs for a drink after get off work, and by the way, talk about the big city players this year.

Alcohol is prohibited during working hours, but people like to decorate their offices with famous wines. Counting the time off work, having a drink with friends and colleagues is the elegant preference of the upper-class gentlemen who sit in the office in this era.

Shade has never been interested in drinking, but is interested in big city players, so he follows the two gentlemen up to the third floor.

The decoration of the president's office is relatively simple, not as expected to display antiques and other utensils, and even the oil paintings on the walls are ordinary landscape paintings. The wine in the wine cabinet in the room is the only expensive decoration. Tobesque's most famous prophet, chatting with Shade about the origin and history of those drinks.

It seems that the Vice-President of the association is a Rhodes hobbyist, and the president is a famous wine hobbyist. Fortunately, this is not an ordinary organization, otherwise the future of the Prophet Association is really worrying.

The three of them sat down, talking about the Demon series Rhodes that Shade had recently acquired, about the latest decks, and about the big and small games in town. Just as Mark Vice-President was entertaining everyone with his Rhodes and alcoholic jokes, there was a knock on the office door.

The cat on the shoulder meows at the door. It has developed a habit at No. 6 Sainteland Place, and whenever someone knocks on the door, it will have a natural response.

But it wasn't the receptionist downstairs that informed Shade that Luvia was back, but the middle-aged fortune-teller of the association looking for something with President Stan. There was something wrong with the divination activities downstairs. A distinguished guest was slightly injured while doing divination with his companions in the association.

"Injured? Which room?"

Mr. Stein stood up and frowned.

Tobesque Local Association has one president and three Vice-Presidents, among which Shade's friend Mark Vice-President is in charge of Rhodes cards, and the other two gentlemen are respectively responsible for the divination business and the logistics management of the association . If a guest is injured in the association, no matter what, they should not directly approach President Stan to deal with the problem, so there is a high probability that the identity of the guest is somewhat troublesome.

"Sir, it's the big divination room at the end of the second floor."

Hearing this answer, Shade and Mark Vice-President also stood up. The room at the end of the second floor is the VIP room, which is usually used to receive those guests with extremely high status or strict privacy requirements. Luvia and Shade mentioned that room, and ordinary nobles are not eligible to use it.

"Which lady is here? Ms. Rose? Ms. Raven? Ms. Loom? Ms. Thorns?"

Mark Vice-President asked, the distinguished women , does not like to use his real name to participate in divination activities.

The veiled female fortune-teller glanced at Shade and saw that there was no objection until it was whispered:

"Lady Loom."

Mark Vice- The President's face suddenly became serious, even Mr. Stein was startled, the high-ring warlock frowned:
"This is really troublesome."

Said, he let Mark The Vice-President was here with Shade, and he left with the fortune teller.

Only after this interruption, Shade and Mr. Mark have no interest in chatting. Shade was a little curious about the identity of "Ms. Textile Machine" while holding the cat. Mr. Mark saw his curiosity and hesitated for a while before saying the true identity of the other party:

"Generally speaking, this is not It's allowed, but you're related to Miss Galina after all, and it doesn't matter who she is."

"A member of the royal family?"

Shade asked.

"Yes, it's Her Royal Highness Agelina Cavendish."

Seeing Shade's dazed expression, Mr. Mark added:
"Then Sixteen-year-old Princess was given a dove-egg-sized ruby as a birthday present by King Your Majesty for her birthday this spring. It's been talked about for months."

Of course Shade didn't know what Mr. Mark was talking about. He wasn't around this spring, and the original owner, Shade, had just been taken in for training by Detective Sparrow, so he couldn't pay attention to this kind of thing. But he vaguely remembered that Ajelena Cavendish Princess, among all the children of Larousse III, this Princess was remembered as the most beloved by Larousse in recent years. Princess III privately loved.

And before Agelina Cavendish, the other Princesses loved by King Your Majesty all started their married lives as political marriages. On the contrary, those daughters who are not privately loved by the king Your Majesty, such as Lecia, who is more like the king who is regarded as a powerful minister, have a relatively free probability of being able to marry.

From this perspective, the royal family is really a reality.

Seeing that Mr. Mark seemed to know a lot about the secrets of the nobles, Shade looked towards him and asked about the other children of Larousse III.

Mr. Mark's attitude is the same as that of most aristocrats today. He thinks that Larousse III's harsh attitude towards his children and his behavior of allowing many adult children to participate in politics without determining an heir are extremely important. May lead to kingdom upheaval after several decades.

He didn't say what "dramatic change" was, but Shade also guessed it was a change of thrones.

Unlike Resia, who had early contact with government affairs and could even be sent to Kasenrick for a visit, Ajelena Ka, who occasionally came to the Prophet Association with her friends to participate in divination activities. Wendy Xu Princess, is the kind of Princess that Shade can imagine, in the traditional sense.

Trained in etiquette, dance, literature courses, not in touch with kingdom affairs, lingering in banquets and noble Sand Dragon, like to sneak out of the yordle palace and have fun with friends. Considering the distance of the Prophet Society about The Del Palace is not far away, even a lazy cat held by Shade can complete the transfer between the two places within ten minutes, so whether such a "sneak run" is under the acquiescence of the king Your Majesty really does not matter. Good to say.

But no matter how Larousse III treated his children, it was not a good thing for the Society that a Princess was injured in the Society of Prophets.

President Addis Stein is the most outstanding prophet in the Tobeysk region. Shade thought he would handle this matter, and he would soon know the truth of the matter and take proper measures. . didn't expect Shade and Mr. Mark just talked about a few days ago, when the rumor that "Saxophone Prince broke into Yordle Palace with a gun" suddenly appeared in the city, President Stan walked back, followed by a certain Panicked maid.

Shade and Mark Vice-President immediately pretended to be discussing Rhodes.

"Mr. Hamilton, I remember you were a detective?"

Sorry, President Stein asked.

"Yes."

Shade nodded, eyeing the maid. The Prophet's Association only has employees and servants, and there are no maids wearing maid skirts. This should be brought by a certain noble lady.

"Sorry, what happened below is a little troublesome, and I need your help to investigate. Please rest assured, no matter whether there is a result or not, this is an entrustment from the association to you, and there will be appropriate remuneration."

p>

He said again, Shade hesitated before standing up, surprised nodded:

"Understood, I think it's fine."

In fact, the problem is very big, Princess stealing The matter of running out and being unfortunately injured is really inappropriate, not to go to the police, but to "Hamilton of Rejed" who happened to be in the association to investigate, which is understandable normally.

But as Tobesque's best prophet, Mr. Stein is absolutely impossible to discover the truth.

Even if it involves relics, the fortune-tellers can't divination, so as a ring warlock, he has no reason to ask "ordinary person" Shade to deal with this matter.

So, thinking about it this way, the possible reason can only be that President Stan has discovered the truth, but it is not appropriate to tell the truth from his perspective, so he came to find Shade with a suitable identity.

"But what status advantage can I have over President Stan?"

As he walked down the corridor to the stairs, Shade thought to himself:

"Could it be that there are some political factors involved, so President Stan doesn't want the association to easily get involved?"

But this is also impossible. President Stan doesn't seem like the kind of person who would throw his troubles away. Ring warlock for ordinary person.

This commission Shade can refuse, but no matter what, the Prophet's Association has the bottom line, so he doesn't have much scruples.

When I came to the second floor of the Prophet Association, I saw several female employees of the association at a glance, standing at the end of the corridor, placing a sign prohibiting progress.

Mr. Stein greeted them before continuing with Shade.

Two burly middle-aged men stood guard at the door of the room at the end. Since they didn't have the Ouroboros logo of the Prophet's Guild, Shade guessed that they were the guards Princess took with her when she went out.

They took the initiative to help Shade entire group open the door. This VIP divination room is twice the size of the normal room, and it looks like the decorative wall between the two rooms has been opened up.

Curtains hang all over the room, and red's carpets are embroidered with bizarre, interesting-looking patterns with gold silver thread. The windows were closed, the curtains were all drawn, and the room was filled with a pungent smell of spice.

When the noble ladies were doing divination, they probably deliberately created the atmosphere of a dark room, but now all the gas lamps on the walls are turned on, making the room very bright.

Shade first observed the abstract landscape oil painting hanging on the wall to create a divination atmosphere, and then looked towards the stone round table placed in the center of the room.

Shade is curious as to how this thing was moved to the second floor.

There were a lot of people in the room. The young girls in skirts were sitting on the sofa set against the wall and resting. I roughly counted seven or eight people. The old doctor was bringing his apprentice to bandage the red-haired girl with her back to Shade, while the two maids stood by the sofa, looking vigilantly towards the stranger who entered the room.

PS: Ask for tickets at the end of the month.
