Chapter 485 Kidnapping
Princess smiled and said to the stunned Shade, then motioned for Shade to sit down and speak:
"I happened to meet here, do you want to watch the opera together?"

There were only the maids in the box besides her. This time, Agelina Cavendish came out to watch the opera alone.

But she should not know that Shade is waiting for her elder sister, but really wants to invite Shade to watch the opera together, otherwise she will never invite Shade to stay.

Shade itself, doesn't really want to be associated with more Cavendish, because it would cause a lot of trouble. He deliberately made excuses to reject the other party's invitation, but perhaps seeing what Shade meant, Ajelena Princess said again:
"Knight, do you have any other companions? Or are you waiting for who? Oh, it doesn't matter. , you can invite them together."

Agelina Cavendish's attitude was very sincere, and Shade could not refuse to see this, but she thought of the news that Lecia had just sent. She said that she would be there at least half an hour, so she said:

"Okay, Your Highness, but I can only stay here for half an hour, and there are other things in a while. I received a commission today, I just came here to see the opera."

"No problem, but next time you must attend my Sand Dragon, my friends are very interested in you."

ten Six-year-old Her Highness the Princess said happily, then motioned for Shade to sit down and talk, and beckoned her maid to pour tea and new biscuits.

It was the conversation between the two that really interested Shade more than watching the opera.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, Agelina Princess is the kind of Princess who is favored by the king, lingers at banquets and Sand Dragon, and is only waiting to be married to a political marriage by Larousse III, but when it comes to Domestic politics and the recent news of Carson Rick, she can easily give her own views and opinions, no worse than Shade imagined.

She even knows about the new continent. Although Her Highness the Princess herself doesn't like the kind of place that doesn't even have a cake shop, she is also clear and logical when it comes to the kingdom's harvest from the new continent.

Of course, it's limited to very simple explanations, and more is the strange knowledge she heard from the people around her. For example, she was very excited to tell Shade that the new continent has a cat that is smaller than an ordinary mouse, and is very cute and docile, does not shed, has a small appetite, and excretes at 8 am every day.

But this idealized pet, the recipe is limited to the fresh leaves of the plant "Sage" that can only grow in the new continent, so the strange creature called "rat cat" by the expedition team does not have it. was brought before Princess.

"I must keep one until that grass can be transplanted into the old continent."

The Princess said to Shade, but Shade couldn't imagine himself adding a new pet.

He could just imagine the orange cat Mia squatting on the highest cabinet in the house, the whole cat was hidden in the darkness, looking gloomily at the terrifying scene of Shade interacting with the new pet under the gas lamp .

The two of them chatted while watching the opera, and the half hour passed quickly.

Agelina Princess asked Shade to leave as promised, but before she left, she invited Shade again to have time and must attend her Sand Dragon:

“The second day at Lake View Manor. The first time I saw you in the courtyard on the terrace, I felt that you were different from everyone else."

Little Princess praised:

"Don't ask for the next invitation. No more rejection, Knight, I have a good impression of you."

Shade agreed with a smile, but added that he has been busy recently and will have time in a few months.

Saying goodbye to Princess at the door of the box, Shade walked along the corridor to the stairs, intending to return to the box and continue to wait for Laccia.

At the corner of the corridor, he met three strange men in black trench coats who were hurrying. Shade stepped aside and let them go first. The tall man with the black hat at the head also expressed his gratitude to Shade. Shade was very curious that the three gentlemen actually wore their normal clothes to watch the opera.

"Probably the bodyguard of a great noble."

He thought about what he was going to say when he saw Lazia for a while, then lowered his head and continued to walk forward. Because he lowered his head, his eyes unconsciously looked towards the floor under his feet.

Therefore, he saw a string of red halos that were not dense on the red carpet under his feet.

“en?”

He didn’t stop, but his eyes blinked twice, and he immediately recognized what it was:
“This is the echo of blood? Passive display?"

Shade thought in surprise that these red halos were indeed the performance of [Blood Echo]. But he did not activate Mystic Art, which means that this Mystic Art can actively display fresher bloodstains at close range.

With a move in his heart, these halos disappeared immediately. It seems that the passive state, once detected and becomes active, Shade can still be canceled at any time.

"However, where did the blood come from? The bottom of those three people's shoes just now?"

Now that he has nothing to do, Shade stopped and walked back to the corner of the corridor. , tilted his head back and looked towards the three men.

The three stopped in front of Agelina's box. After knocking on the door, the person at the front seemed to reach out and cover the mouth of the person inside the door. The three rushed in and closed the door.

The hallway was calm, except for the sound of the opera. The three men didn't notice Shade's head sticking out from the corner, and naturally they didn't know that Shade saw this scene.

"What's the situation?"

Shade raised his eyebrows and straightened his leaning body.

When they passed by just now, the voice in the ear did not suggest that the three were ring warlocks, so this should not be Shade's unfortunate encounter with the mysterious incident again.

But the trio is clearly not right, so Shade restores the revolver that has been turned into a toy. Since this kind of thing has happened, it is natural to take care of it, even more how Ajeelina Princess is Recia's younger sister.

He went back to the door again, then knocked on the door and loudly said:

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I will."

He thought Said that he had dropped something, but thought that once the three men found out that the item Shade said was dropped in the room did not exist, then the other party would know that Shade came prepared.

So Shade said:

"Your Highness, I left you with the garter belt I gave you."

There were 5 women in the room Bit, Shade couldn't believe he couldn't find a single garter. And Princess didn't say she wanted to send Shade garters just now, so they could know at this time that Shade had noticed something was wrong.

The sound insulation of this private box for nobles is very good. Shade should be able to hear it when he speaks loudly, but he can't hear the sound inside. After a while, the door was opened with a gap, and the maid who was trembling with fear blocked the gap in front of the door, her mouth closed as if she wanted to speak but didn't dare.

She actually handed Shade a garter.

Decorated in white lace with a light pink bow secured with pearls. When Shade got it, he even felt the body temperature on it.

"His Royal Highness!"

He grabbed the crack of the door and didn't give anyone a chance to close it, but he also didn't mean to push the door open:
"I know just now I made you angry, so you don't want to see me, but please believe that it was definitely not an offensive move."

He winked at the lady maid who was blocking the door in front of him, and the latter bit him. looking at him with lips.

"You must forgive me or I won't be leaving today!"

he said.

It took a few more seconds before Agelina's voice came from behind the door:
"Yes, detective, I forgive you."

She spoke Shade was curious about who was so bold, so he continued:
"Your Highness, your eyes are as bright as stars, and your lips are more moving than delicate roses, I beg your forgiveness. Please forgive me. See me one last time, if you reject me face to face, I will definitely give up this time."

Of course, these words were not made up by Shade, they were heard while listening to the opera just now. And the three men who just arrived obviously didn't hear the actors say this line just now.

"You will leave after you really meet me?"

Agelina behind the door said intermittently, Shade replied immediately:

"Oh, yes, Your Highness, please believe me."

The room was quiet for a while, and after at least half a minute, the lady maid who was blocking the door was suddenly pulled back, and then A Jelena blocked the door again, as if being pushed out from the side.

Little Princess pursed her lips and looked towards Shade, her body blocked the view from outside, but also blocked the view from inside. Shade doesn't know if Agelina Cavendish has a good habit of carrying steam bombs whenever she goes out like her elder sister and likes to stuff steam bombs on others, so she has no battle strength by default.

After putting the gun in his hand over the hammer, shake it in front of Princess:
"Be careful."

He makes this mouth and then ignores Applejack Whether Lina understood, continued to say the opera lines she heard just now:
"Even the stars shining in the night sky are not enough for you."

Agelina winked at Shade , the right hand suddenly moved, and the index fingers were pointed in three different directions. Behind the door, a faint breathing sound could be heard, indicating that she was trying to tell Shade where the enemy was.

"It doesn't seem like she's completely useless."

Thinking about it, Shade didn't realize what was in her mouth. But he knew very well that he couldn't drag it on, otherwise, no matter how stupid the people inside were, they should have understood that Shade was procrastinating.

"The ordinary person is present, so I can't rashly use the power of the ring warlock. Even if I do, I can only use the ones that won't easily arouse suspicion. It's a pity, the doctor hasn't gotten [Spiritual Crystal] yet. . Although there are six Luger revolver cartridges distributed by MI6, they can't be fired in a row. I can only shoot down one person at the first time."

Thinking about it, Shade has made decided. He held a gun in his right hand and took out four Rhodes cards from his pocket in his left hand and put them between his fingers.
