Sheikh Hawthorn never questioned what she was supposed to do.

That's why he's willing to do his best to help a stranger—because Moshi is a person recognized by Duke Firefinch, and Sheka himself is a retainer of Duke Firesparrow, and that's why it's as simple as that.

Sheka Hawthorn has always been so clear and straightforward in his thinking, and he himself is not stupid, so he acts decisively and most of the time is productive.

When questioned about the Fifty-Eighth, he smelled a familiar scent in the lady.

It was half past one in the afternoon, and the woman named Zhenma, Hyal, had just woken up from a nap.

She was covered in new incense powder, thus hiding a lot of the original smell of her body.

So in order to confirm the smell, Sheikh had to find any reason to prolong the conversation.

"You're Zhenma Fei?" Sheikh looked at the directory in his hand—a recopied version," "who are you...... A relative of Lord Norwen?"

The woman stopped playing with the ring gem in her hand and giggled, as if Shekka had said something very funny.

"In fact," she said, "you should call me 'Mrs. Norwen.'" ”

Yes......

This is indeed Sheka's negligence.

The woman in front of him looked too young, which made him misunderstand. And Norwen Fei is indeed not the kind of person who will let his wife follow him, and it is not a big fault that Sheka can't make the right associations.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking some questions," said Shekha, "and have you been in the hall on the day of the dinner?"

Zhenma Fei raised her eyebrows, turned her head, and put her fingers to her chin to begin to meditate.

Through these physical expressions, Shekka judged that she had not been questioned in a similar way before—even though her name had been circled on Novin Fei's list—as Moshi had expected.

"Actually, I didn't. "I started drinking at dinner, and then I got a little drunk, so I went up to the promenade to get some fresh air," she said, calmly playing with a strand of curls with her fingers. Because I was drunk, I didn't know where I had been, and I was a little frozen by the snowstorm. ”

She casually picked up her handkerchief and wiped the tip of her nose.

It seems that this is a socially savvy woman. This pretentious pompous demeanor reminded Shekka of the aristocratic women of the Central Castle.

"You used to work in the palace?" asked Shekha, "and you sound like you have some central accent. ”

Shekha tried to continue the conversation.

The fireplace burns brightly, and the warmth accelerates the smell of it. Sheka had a hunch that his nose was about to sniff out something, he just needed more affirmation-

"Oh, can you hear that?" said Zhenma Fei, who was obviously interested in the subject, "yes, it is true, I was once one of the Queen's maids, and it was a pleasant time for the gods to bear witness. The central buildings, the castles, the music, the food, the wine...... Speaking of wine, how can we not have some?"

The woman clapped her hands, and her maid immediately brought a flask.

"So you've been to Central before, Mr. Sheka, and I heard that you're the future heir of the Red Sand Castle?" asked Gema enthusiastically as she poured wine for the two of them.

"Yes, I used to study at the Central Center to learn how to be a good guardian. ”

"Knights?"

"That's right, ma'am, the Knights. ”

As the conversation continued, the alcohol soon took effect, staining the woman's bare skin red. At the same time, the smell of the body is becoming more and more intense.

Shekka emits a small amount of her unique gender scent as Hyar Efaya, which inadvertently promotes Oria's physiological response. Now, he can confirm that the smell is the same as the one he smelled in the medical room.

The woman is still immersed in the memories of happy times:

"I used to dance with the knights, and after that battle, the king feasted the soldiers of the Knights. They smelled of blood and dirt, but they were all so heroic—"

"Let me interrupt. Sheikh decided to take the risk and asked, "Do you have an unusual relationship with Lord Pamu Crow?"

-

After splitting up with Shekka, Moshi went to visit Dino Firesparrow.

The little master of the castle, the second young master, is practicing archery in the back garden.

Snowflakes fell on his bow and arrows.

The arrows he shot experienced wind and snow and were nailed to the inner perimeter of the target, which was a good result. He remained focused until the arrows in his quiver ran out, and the servant took his bow.

The boy's arm was shaking a little from the long exertion.

Mo Shi clapped his hands and walked to the young man's side: "You are obviously very accomplished in shooting. ”

"Ah, Mr. Moshi!" the young man turned around, his face was full of smiles, he was a laughing, cheerful child, "these are the ones that Shekka gave me, of course, I practice hard myself. ”

"Do you want to be a knight?" Mo Shi didn't know if his question was counterintuitive.

Apparently, though, Dino is not the kind of person who cares about words: "I am the son of a duke, and unfortunately it is impossible to become a knight." But perhaps I can lead the Knights to the north to serve the king!, in any case, a better force will certainly help my father and Brother Diffonor. ”

"You're right. ”

"My swordsmanship is always complimented, do you want to see it?" the boy opened his innocent eyes.

"If I had the chance, I would love to. "But now I need your help." ”

The boy pondered for a moment, and his expression became melancholy.

"It's Pamu Crow's business, isn't it?"

Mo Shi nodded.

He said frankly, "I'm alone here, Master Dino. I can't get through without someone else to keep me company. But you, you are noble, you say something 'offensive', and no one will turn their faces. ”

After that, Moshi revealed something to Dino.

-

"What?!Are you implying that my sister has an affair with hers—our—literary lessons?"

The boy's face flushed.

"No, no, no," Mo Shi hurriedly reassured, "Please calm down...... I mean, there's a rumor like that. Haven't you heard of it before?"

Dino shook his head. I wanted to say something, and closed my mouth again. He nodded.

"Given the need for me to investigate Mr. Pamu's network, I have to try to confirm this rumor," said Moshi, in a gentle voice. I think you understand what I mean, Master Dino?"

The boy looked around irritably, his tail wagging in a pitiful look.

After a few moments, he said, "I'll help you." It's my family affair after all, and I'm obligated to do my best. But、But ...... Diya is my sister, even if it ......"

"We don't need to anticipate the outcome in advance, we just try to investigate. ”

This sentence seemed to make the teenager feel better.

On his way to Miss Dia's quarters, Dino had a small conversation with him.

Dino was the first person to see Moshi in the castle, and the most accepting of his "amnesia". Dino patiently explained to him something that Mo Shi did not know:

"My sister is a Beya. There's nothing wrong with Beya, but, you know (though Moshi doesn't), all Hhyal would expect their daughters to be Orria, right? Just like no woman hates having more children (Mosshi disagrees). ”

But Mo Shi only nodded.

So the boy continued: "After my sister was divided, my father began to plan for her marriage. As unfair as I thought, my father apparently felt that since my sister had become a less fertile Beya, he couldn't expect too much from her marriage—"

"So Duke Firesparrow is very satisfied with the fact that Pamu Autumn Crow is his future son-in-law?"

"Yes," Dino sighed softly, "Lord Pamu is the eldest son of the Marquis, and he is a strong and handsome Alfaya, and there is no reason for my father to be dissatisfied. ”

However, Miss Dia was not satisfied. ”

"Why are you satisfied?" Dino sighed deeply again, his ears drooping, for a teenager, he sighed too much, making Mo Shi feel sympathy.

Dino told him, "A Heyal can have many wives, but only one wife." And until the wife agrees, you can't marry a side room. This is why many Hyars will marry an Oriya as soon as they marry Beya. For the wife, for Diya, it's not fair. ”

Political marriages have always been so cruel. And in this land, even ceremonial love will be deprived.

Mo Shi thought. and told Dino about the discovery of the "female Oria".

This made the boy's expression more and more complicated.

They walked in silence for the rest of the road.

Mo Shi thought: This is the fourth day.

-

When Moshi and Dino knocked on Miss Dia's door, they were surprised to find that the literature teacher was about to come out of the door.

Mo Shi had to notice his pale face, and the polite smile that he barely managed to squeeze.

After bowing his head and bowing, the literature teacher left in a hurry.

Dia Firesparrow sat at the table and turned her head to look at them. Her maid arranged the hem of her skirt. She is still beautiful, as precise and proud as a sculpture. This Hhyalbea has honed herself with time and determination, and she seems to want to fight against fate.

Moshi regretted that he might have to go against such a beautiful thing.

"This is what we found on Lord Pamu," Moshi said, placing a handkerchief on the table.

"What is this?"

Diya sat upright, her eyes calm and expressionless.

Moshi motioned for her to unfold her handkerchief.

Diya stared for a moment before reaching out.

Caught in the handkerchief were two small pieces of light brown.

- It's crumbs of vellum paper, releasing the smell of an old library.

Mo Shi knew that Diya Firebird could smell it.

"Upon inspection, we found that the thin-skinned fragments were some old books from the library. And those who have read such works recently happen to include ......"

It's an adventure.
