Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Eleanor recognizes these crows, and it doesn't matter if the Anti-Crow Bureau or Ms. Bernice sees them; Eleanor will take action.

When Eleanor was mentioned, Eleanor arrived.

Tia had just finished organizing the parchment scrolls and was about to put them in the living room when she saw the door being pushed open before she even stepped out.

The girl, dressed in a sheer halter-neck nightgown, was rubbing her sleepy eyes, her blood-red pupils filled with confusion and a half-awake state.

Eleanor, still half asleep, pushed open the door and mumbled, "Good evening."

The bedroom became lively.

Tia said with a headache, "Eleanor, what are you doing here too?"

"It was so noisy just now."

"It's a bit noisy... I'm so sorry, Eleanor, let me take you back. The master bedroom is over there."

Tia gently pushed Eleanor's smooth shoulder and spoke softly, as if coaxing a baby.

Eleanor's voice became even more slurred, "No. I want to sleep with Tia."

"???"

"sleepy."

"Are you here to study too?"

“zzzZ”

Chapter 272 Anne is sharing her breakfast

This was the worst night Tia had ever slept.

Because she not only had to be caught in the middle serving Vera and Eleanor, two true sleeping goddesses, but also had to bring more blankets to prevent them from getting cold when the three of them squeezed into the small single bed;

We also need to be mindful of time management; we must return before 6 o'clock in Ansu's time and 7 o'clock in Iris's time to wake Annie up.

What if Anne accidentally overslept at her place, what if Earl Perrick and Lady Mercury saw her, what if the captain of her ship was a novice, what if the course of her warship changed unexpectedly, and what if she happened to sail into a thunderstorm zone?

Then she might accidentally end up sitting next to Brigitte in heaven...

Before the iris blooming season at six in the morning, Tia projected her soul back to Ansu.

Meanwhile, at the Mercury mansion.

Tia gently shook the sleeping Annie.

Annie frowned and muttered, "Mom, I don't want to eat this..."

"Wake up, wake up, it's almost five o'clock."

Tia shook Annie's head.

Annie, still half asleep, saw Tia's fingers pressed against her cheek and instinctively bit her fingertip, sucking on it gently.

After the sweet taste, the faint light of dawn and dusk outside the window and the gradually brightening sky came into view. Suddenly realizing something, she immediately released Tia's fingers and exclaimed in panic, "How come it's five o'clock?!"

Tia said, "You fell asleep last night."

"They should have woken me up sooner! I wanted to take advantage of Mom and the others not being here..."

Annie blushed instantly and was too embarrassed to say anything.

She had wanted to get close to Tia last night, and even prepared the collar! But Tia's storytelling voice was so gentle and beautiful, and the stories were so interesting, that she fell asleep before even thinking about it.

But this is not the point.

Tia said, "I can't just interrupt your sleep, can I? Have you had enough sleep?"

"It's okay, I'm not very sleepy anymore." Annie glanced out the window, a little scared, and said, "But Dad and Mom will be up soon, right?"

"Then you can go back to your bedroom first."

Tia said, "Besides, it doesn't matter if we get caught. Just say you came to learn extraordinary skills from me this morning. You usually get up pretty early anyway."

"That's right!"

Annie's eyes lit up.

But she doesn't seem to be afraid of anything! She hasn't done anything strange with Tia, so what is she worried about?

Anne felt a little guilty, so after saying goodbye to Tia, she lifted her skirt and headed to her bedroom.

And in the corridor.

The maids got up early to prepare for the day's work.

Evelyn, as the head maid, was no exception. She usually slept six or seven hours every night and woke up at four o'clock in the morning. After washing up and eating, she would arrange the maids' work for the day in the garden at five o'clock.

After finishing these things, it will be almost six o'clock. She will wait outside Annie's bedroom door and knock on the door at six o'clock sharp to remind Annie to get up.

Annie's wake-up time is very regular.

She usually doesn't get up when you call her at six o'clock, but stays in bed for a while. If you call her again around six-thirty, she will be half asleep and half awake. By seven o'clock, Miss Anne will have already taken the initiative to call her and instruct the maids to prepare clothes.

Today's situation is a little special because Anne and Tia are leaving for the port at six o'clock.

So Evelyn also prepared to call Anne an hour in advance.

But in front of the fountain in the garden, under the watchful eyes of more than twenty maids.

Before Evelyn could finish arranging the day's work, the elegant head maid saw a lovely figure flash by on the path between the flowerbeds.

"Annie?"

Evelyn gasped in surprise and asked a maid, "Did the young lady get up very early this morning?"

The maid, confused, said, "Eh? Sister Evelyn, we didn't see the young lady leave at all..."

Evelyn, puzzled, pointed to what she had just seen and asked, "Did the lady and the count go for a walk on the east side of the flower garden?"

"That's not right either, Sister Evelyn!"

"Madam is in the kitchen."

"Yes, yes, I saw it. The lady was in the kitchen asking Uncle Hoff to make some herbal soup to help with the hangover."

"The east side of the flower garden is where the guests stay, Miss Sulph seems to live over there."

"Hey, have any guests come over recently?"

"You took the day off yesterday and didn't come. Miss Sulph from the police station came over and had dinner with the lady and the others."

Evelyn's expression gradually changed from tense, surprised, confused, to suddenly realizing, and finally to helpless.

What could she possibly say?

Let's continue to keep it a secret for Annie.

...............

...............

Around five o'clock in the morning, Earl Perricone drank a few sips of herbal soup to sober up, and then asked Evelyn to wake Anne and Tia.

Evelyn, with a complicated expression, "woke" the two of them, and the group went to the living room.

Because they left so early, Tia and Annie didn't have time to eat.

Earl Perricone had the kitchen prepare some fried eggs, bacon, and sausages, and then cut open a loaf of bread, stuff it with hummus and sauce, and that was his breakfast.

To be honest, this breakfast was more delicious than many of Ansu's regular meals.

Tia was deeply grateful for Uncle Hoff's culinary skills in the kitchen.

Soon the carriage was ready, the butler packed Tia's ceremonial materials into a box and put them on the carriage, and the coachman took Count Perricone and Tia Anne to the port.

A light frigate is already docked in the port.

Tia followed Earl Perricone aboard the ship, dragging her suitcase, while Anne followed closely behind, carrying a paper bag containing breakfast.

Standing on the deck and gazing at the Sea of ​​Ansu, the sea and sky merge into one, with the blue waves stretching for thousands of miles.

Although Anne comes from a naval family, she has hardly ever been on a ship herself, having come from Silver Castle, and she was quite excited watching this.

Count Perric led Tia and Anne to the cabin and said, "This ship is going to Rose on the South Island for a troop rotation. There is a naval base there, which is also the closest mainland to South Ansu Sea. The battleship Glory is also resupplying there. You can board the ship there, Sulf."

"Hmm... have you communicated the identification documents and the Queen's side?"

Tia said, "This has already been prepared."

Count Perric nodded and walked ahead of the two. "That's good."

Anne, holding the paper bag, took out a loaf of bread and whispered in Tia's ear.

"Eat breakfast."

"And what about Uncle Perrick?"

"It's okay, Dad ate a lot this morning. The paper bag was too small, so I only brought two pieces of bread. You can eat first."

He's so filial.

As soon as Tia took the bread, she saw Count Perrick in front of her stop in his tracks, as if he had been shot in the knee.

Annie ran ahead again and asked, "Daddy, do you want breakfast?"

Count Perric took the remaining bread and finally said with satisfaction:

"I'm not very hungry, you eat first."

Anne blinked and said, "Tia and I can share it; the bread is quite big."

The count fell silent again.

Tia saw Uncle Perrick's back hanging down behind him, like an immortal who couldn't jump, weak, heavy and lonely.

Chapter 273 Royal Envoy Sulph begins to call for people

Everything was peaceful and uneventful after boarding.

After breakfast, Tia played card games with Annie in the cabin, and under the pretense of catching up on sleep, she lay on Annie's lap and projected her soul onto the iris.

The iris area was also peaceful and tranquil—except for Vera, who found herself licking Tia's arm early in the morning, and Eleanor, who was sleeping in a terrible position, with her face pressed against Tia's toes and her right foot kicking Tia's face instead.

Oh, and there's also my heartbroken Uncle Perrick.

Vera woke up and ran away very quickly, clutching her blanket, her heart pounding wildly.

Eleanor was different.

Her neck was a little sore from sleeping...

Tia knew Eleanor's sleeping posture. It was fine on the master bedroom's large bed, but on this single bed, Tia should be grateful to the princess for not kicking her off.

After waking up, Tia sighed, straightened the little princess with her long platinum blonde hair, then put her hands under her armpits and carried her back to the master bedroom.

After Eleanor was settled.

Tia then greeted Vera, "I won't be returning to Iris for the next few days. Vera, could you please take a letter to the outskirts of the city for me?"

"Wow? Outside the city?"

“That’s right. Further east from Hercats Prison, there’s a private horse ranch. Could you deliver this letter there for me?”

Vera didn't understand, scratched her head, and didn't refuse.

—Anyway, I have nothing else to do.

These past few days, both Ansu and the irises have been very peaceful and serene.

Eleanor's curse removal ritual will have to wait another half month, and Vera's research vessel will remain in Iris for a three-week academic exchange. Although Anne is eligible for her promotion ceremony, she has no intention of doing so yet and just wants to enjoy her summer vacation comfortably.

Meanwhile, the royal family of Silver Castle moved from White Sand Manor to Silver Castle on the mountaintop to escape the summer heat, and incidentally occupied the rest space of the civil servants.

Even after the Iris Flower Ministry of Internal Affairs finished its parliamentary session, the national machinery continued to operate smoothly and steadily, as usual, except for the arrival of a young man at the city hall.

Even Brigitte Montlima felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

But she could never stand this kind of peace. Although riding horses, shooting arrows, drinking wine, and playing with the maids was fun, she couldn't do it every day!

In the past, it was all business dealings and frequent social engagements. Now that she has some free time, Brigitte feels a bit uncomfortable, especially since she's fucking dead and even going out is difficult.

Moreover, Bonaparte's chattering little mouth had described her as a saint. The thought of her coming back to life and indulging in unrestrained pleasures while having to endure the strange looks from others made her feel like Furinna was crawling all over her body.
