Chapter 239 True love? Why bother with gender?
In a small villa, Sharon was flipping through a story collection. This was a book Hasta bought for her, saying that it recorded fairy tales from Feysac.
She refused at first, but after reading the first story, she felt that the book was well selected. The stories in it were all very interesting, and it also introduced a lot of customs and practices of Feysac.
But compared to this kind of fairy tale books, she preferred the stories written by Hasta himself. His stories seemed to contain more fantastic ideas, and the protagonists of the stories were very much to her liking.
There are the adventures of Pinocchio who made puppets, the genius magic girl who joined the magic academy, the pea man, and so on.
"Sharon, Hasta sent an invitation to invite us to celebrate the New Year with him. What do you think of this idea?"
At this time, Maric strode over with an invitation in his hand.
"Well, it's okay."
Sharon just replied lightly. Since she left the Rose School and her teacher was no longer around, she had no expectations for this festival.
"You don't look very happy?"
"Really?"
Marichi seemed to smell gossip, and said a little bit meanly: "Absolutely, do you regret rejecting Hastur's proposal to go to South Wales with him?"
"Do you really want to go?"
"Well, staying in Backlund all the time always makes me feel like my time is being wasted."
"Are you eager for adventure?"
"I'm just a little tired of this kind of life now."
Marichi sighed. He now helps Sharon deal with some things during the day, and usually goes to the Brave Bar at night to play cards with his zombies and take care of this base.
The very dull life gradually made him unbearable.
"Marichi, it seems that you haven't learned to really restrain yourself."
"I can't compare to you in this regard, so you can be promoted earlier than me. Now, have you completely digested your wraith potion?"
"Yes."
"No wonder you are becoming more and more like a puppet now. Are you acting in advance?"
"Marichi, you are wrong. This is the real me, not just a puppet."
"Okay."
Marichi didn't discuss this issue anymore, but asked Sharon what gift she was going to prepare for Hastur.
"Sharon, you won't go to the party empty-handed to celebrate the New Year without any preparation, right?"
"..."
Sharon didn't answer this question. She really hadn't prepared anything yet.
Only Maric was very active in this matter. She had always been very restrained, no matter in which aspect.
"If you do this, Hastur, who is looking forward to receiving gifts, will be disappointed."
"You talk too much."
Marichi learned to shut up silently, put the invitation on the small wooden table, and turned to leave.
He hadn't prepared a gift yet either. He just deliberately provoked Sharon.
…
"The New Year is coming soon. Azshara, your new clothes are ready. You can try them on first."
"Meow!"
Azshara stretched out her front paws and put them on her ears, indicating that she didn't hear anything.
"You agreed to this last time and paid a lot of silverfish in advance."
"Meow?"
Azshara looked confused, as if she had forgotten such a thing.
"You also agreed to wear a new set of clothes every month in the future."
"Meow!"
Azshara raised her little paw to protest. This was an unwarranted condition!
"Look, don't you remember it very clearly?"
"..."
Azshara shrugged her head and was handed to the maid next to her by Hastur to try on the new clothes.
Hastur himself also wanted to try on the dress for the banquet. The closer it was to the New Year, the more banquets there were among the nobles.
Although he had tried his best to refuse, there were always some banquets that he couldn't avoid.
For example, at Prince Edessak's dinner tonight, who knew how he was still alive? According to the description in the original book, he should have died for the witch and became a victim of the royal family's excuse to block the church.
But now he survived, and invited me to attend his dinner party, speaking sincerely, even in a humble and begging manner.
A prince has done this, Hasta can only go once, although he doesn't like to participate in the affairs of the witch sect.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Hasta arrived at Prince Edessak's manor in a carriage.
Prince Edessak tonight was dressed in formal clothes, and looked no different from the past, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes and sadness, a bit like Leonard the wandering poet.
What surprised Hasta was that Prince Edessak did not invite Lady Germani tonight, and not many people came to the banquet.
It should be that many nobles knew the story between him and the witch, and knew that he had become an abandoned child of the royal family and was disliked by the king, so they deliberately found reasons to refuse his invitation tonight.
As soon as Hasta arrived, Prince Edessak walked over quickly, with a complicated look and an unexpected tone.
"I didn't expect you to come to my party tonight. I thought you would reject my invitation as you always did."
"Maybe there are not enough people for your banquet tonight, so I came here to make up the number."
Prince Edessak forced a smile and invited Hastur to the study on the second floor to chat.
In the study, Prince Edsac took out the best tea from the royal family to treat Hasta, and said in a lighter tone than before: "I have always wanted to see you, especially after what happened."
"It's really surprising. I remember that I had no interaction with His Highness the Prince."
"It's true that we have no intersection, but I think you should be a friend worth making."
"His Royal Highness, you are ridiculous. I am not that good."
Hasta declined the request to make friends. He came here tonight mainly to see what Prince Edsac was going to do, not to make friends with him.
This can be a hassle.
"You have always refused my invitation before, probably because you have long known that the situation here is very troublesome."
"I just happen to have something to take care of."
Prince Edsac did not continue this topic, but said: "I want to know something about the Witch Sect. Can you answer my questions?"
"I don't know much."
Hastur thought for a moment and briefly introduced the Witch Cult to Prince Edsac. The introduction was very simple and did not involve too many secrets of the Witch Cult.
"Are all the witches in the Witch Sect really transformed from male to female?"
Hasta looked at him deeply and said, "Whoever appears in front of you is who it is. If there is true love between you, why do you care about the other person's past gender?"
This sentence is a killer sentence. Leonard obviously cannot accept this fact. This Prince Edsac has a little bit of true love.
"I just can't accept it for the moment..."
Prince Edsac's expression was very painful, but he soon suppressed his heartache and said instead: "If I want to find her again, what channels do I need to use?"
Tsk, it is indeed true love.
Hastur already understood the thoughts of Prince Edsac, and said with a smile: "If she feels for you as much as you love her, then she should appear in front of you by herself."
"Really?" Prince Edsac looked obviously excited.
"When the time is right."
Hastur didn't say anything, he was also looking forward to whether the witch's love would be a happy one.
"It's better not to do it. If she comes to me, it will definitely put her in danger. I can't be so selfish."
Prince Edsac looked into the distance, looking deeply in love.
In this regard, Hastur could only say something about letting things develop naturally.
After solving the major problem on his mind, Edsac was in a good mood and took a sip of tea: "Baron Hastur Campbell, thank you for clarifying my doubts this time. To express my gratitude, I would like to transfer a building located in the North District of St. A villa near Muir Church is given to you, and I hope you will not refuse."
“How did you know I wanted to buy a house in the North End?”
"I am also a prince after all. I really want to investigate some things, and I can still get some useful information."
Seeing this, Hastur didn't say anything anymore. With just a few words, he got a villa, and tonight's dinner was not in vain.
In this regard, Prince Edsac is still very generous.
It can be seen that he really loves that witch very deeply.
"I hope no one else knows about tonight's chat."
"I have forgotten the content of the chat just now."
…
When I came back from Prince Edsac, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Azshara was already sleeping soundly in her little nest. She must have been put through a lot of trouble getting dressed. When she saw Hastur coming back, she just glanced lazily and didn't even open her eyes.
Hastur did not disturb its rest. He went to take a bath first, then returned to his room, lay on the bed and entered the palace of stars, scanning a circle of stars as usual.
The next day, Hastur specially sent someone to give Xio a gift, which contained 1,000 gold pounds.
Hugh put a lot of effort into solving the Lockhard matter and made things go smoothly. Her efforts were worth the money.
Moreover, the new year is approaching, and this money can also allow her and Forsi to have a good year.
With a huge sum of 1,000 gold pounds, she would probably be too happy to sleep.
