Chapter 188 Love Divination
This elegant lady was called Lola, a very common name in the Kingdom of Loen. Angel even guessed that this might be a pseudonym, and providing a pseudonym would undoubtedly have a significant impact on divination, but she did not care and decided to listen to the lady's request first.
"I want to have a love divination," Laura covered her mouth with her hand, but still showed a smug smile, "I've been very distressed recently because I don't know how to choose my suitors."
Your suitors?
Hearing this plural ending, Angel thought to himself that something was wrong.
"One of my two main suitors is Baron Farness. Although he lost his fiefdom in a family tragedy a few years ago and only retained his title, he inherited several factories and plantations from his father. His family is wealthy, and he is the most passionate in pursuing me."
As if she didn't notice Angel's slightly embarrassed expression, Laura introduced herself. Her beautiful lake blue eyes were full of charm, and she seemed to be recalling every detail of her time with the baron.
"And the other one is also difficult for me to choose. His name is Stuart, a captain in the Kingdom Army. At a young age, he fought in the war on the Southern Continent... Well, he said it was on the east coast of Balam. Where is that? Feysac?" She frowned, trying to recall the geographical knowledge deep in her mind, but quickly gave up. "He made great contributions in the war and is said to be promoted to major soon. Such a young major!"
There was distress in Laura's beautiful eyes, as if she was choosing two equally priceless jewels.
"Who should I choose? Maybe I should listen to my father and date Baron Fanis. Maybe I should let my body make the choice and follow my heart..."
This is such a cliché love story, and one with complicated relationships... Angel commented unceremoniously in his heart.
But as her first customer, she had to serve him well no matter what, which was also a good start.
After asking Laura for detailed information about the two suitors and writing their names on pieces of paper, Angel took off the citrine pendant on his wrist, held the silver chain with his left hand, and let the pendant hang above the first piece of paper, which was Stuart's name.
"Captain Stewart will be a good match for Ms. Lola."
After silently reciting the divination words, Angel closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, feeling the pendant pulling the silver chain slowly moving under his left hand.
Opening his eyes, Angel saw that the pendant was slowly moving counterclockwise.
"Oh, Stuart, are you really not suitable to be with me as your father said?"
Laura, who had been informed of the effects of the pendulum by Angel before the divination began, covered her mouth exaggeratedly, her eyes revealing disbelief, and whispered.
Smacking his lips and ignoring the words of Ms. Lola, who was quite talented in acting, Angel moved the pendant above another piece of paper and performed another divination on Baron Fanis.
The result was surprising. This wealthy young nobleman was not suitable for Ms. Lola, and the pendant even rotated counterclockwise faster than Captain Stewart.
“This is…”
Laura's eyes widened, tears almost overflowing from her eyes.
"...This is so sad. Are neither of them suitable for me?"
"I'm sorry, but that's indeed the case according to the divination results. Perhaps they're just not worthy of you. Hmm, do you deserve better?"
Angel, who was also surprised by the divination result, racked his brains to find some words of comfort to prevent this sentimental lady from crying out loud in his divination room.
But soon, she saw a strange emotion in the other person's eyes - excitement.
"Shouldn't I just focus on the two of them? Maybe I should give him a chance..."
The lady's voice became increasingly quiet, but her face flushed and her expression was pitiful.
Him? Is there a third one?
"Is this the man who accompanied you to the Divination Club?"
Angel suddenly remembered that there was a man standing outside the door and asked tentatively.
"Who? Oh, no, he's just my bodyguard," Laura shook her head first, then nodded, "But he's humble and polite, young and strong, maybe..."
The relationships between men and women among you Loen people are really too chaotic... No, I'm from Loen too, then I'm from Backlund, and Backlund's social relationships are too chaotic!
Angel secretly complained about the social circles in the kingdom's capital, and looked at Ms. Lola helplessly as she lamented her own ups and downs in love. Fortunately, her desire to talk was quickly satisfied. She took out two soli from her bag, handed them to Angel, then wiped away her non-existent tears and left the divination room.
From outside the door came the earnest voice of the candidate who was at least ranked fourth, asking Ms. Laura if she wanted to go to another divination club.
She came for the so-called divination, wasn't she just trying to show off to someone of the same sex?
Angel held his first income of the day, and countless questions popped up in his mind.
…
As evening approached and even the fortune-telling room next door became quiet, Angel packed up his pendulum and magic mirror and prepared to leave the club.
Putting the tarot cards into the box, she looked at her smooth palms. Although she had expected that she would not be able to enter the gray fog space to participate in the tarot meeting this time, she was still a little disappointed when she waited past three in the afternoon.
Fortunately, Kaspars from the Brave Bar will introduce her to another secret gathering of Extraordinary People at 8 o'clock tonight. She can't be late for such an important event.
“Bang, bang.”
There was another knock on the door, and today's second and final customer entered the fortune-telling room.
Seeing that Angel had stood up and the table was empty and clean, the young man with a somewhat decadent temperament apologized and was about to leave the room.
"Hello, what kind of divination do you need?"
Angel quickly called him. It was still early, and as a diligent "witch", she didn't want to let go of the hard-earned customer.
The decadent man pushed the door open again and sat down opposite Angel with a depressed and melancholy expression.
"I'd like a love divination. I recently met the woman who will be my lifelong companion, but my ex-girlfriend from college keeps pestering me."
Love again? Are the young people of Backlund incapable of anything else but romance?
Sighing secretly, Angel took out a deck of tarot cards, shuffled them, and asked the man to silently recite his needs before drawing three cards.
This divination method is simple and easy to use, and most importantly, the results can be interpreted from multiple angles, and there will be no embarrassing situation like Ms. Laura's just now.
The man slowly drew out three tarot cards and placed them on the table one by one.
The Lovers reversed, the Chariot upright and the Star upright.
Angel pretended to close his eyes and think, but he was actually recalling the Tarot knowledge he had just learned. After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the man.
"The reversed Lovers represents uncertainty and struggle in relationships, and suggests that you have succumbed to temptation and shirked your responsibilities."
"The Chariot in upright position represents controlling emotions and actions, which means your relationship will develop smoothly, but you need to keep working on it."
"Finally, the upright star represents hope and a beautiful romance. Your future relationship will surely be extremely bright."
"So, I should change my past personality and work hard to pursue my current goals so that I can find a good love in the future?"
Listening to Angel's explanation, the man's expression changed several times, and finally he seemed to have suddenly realized something.
No, you sound like you're just getting bored with the old and loving the new...
Before Angel could speak, the man had already convinced himself. Although his decadent temperament had not yet dissipated, the frustration on his face had slowly subsided.
"Yes, I should have forgotten that woman earlier and bravely pursued a new life. I'm going to explain this to her right now."
He became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up from his chair and turned around to leave the divination room.
"Oh, yes, your reward."
He finally remembered it and took out 2 soli and handed it to Angel.
"Thank you, but you'd better be careful. Although the divination results point to the real future, you should also be aware of the bumps and hardships along the way."
Looking at this man who seemed to have already made up his mind and just wanted to use divination to give him a reason to fall in love with someone else, Angel couldn't help but remind him.
"Thank you, Miss Fortune Teller. I know my limits."
Did I inadvertently complicate the relationship between the three of them?
Looking at the three tarot cards on the table, Angel felt that it would be easier for him to burn the bridge tomorrow.
…
"You're late. When I said 8 o'clock, it usually meant you should have arrived at 7:30."
Kaspers's scarred right eye shot out a sharp gaze towards Angel, who had arrived at the Brave Bar on time.
"Sorry, I don't know the rules here. I will arrive earlier next time."
The latter said softly, handed over the 2 pounds "introduction fee", and successfully dispelled the other party's anger.
But Kaspers's anger was probably mostly due to the other man standing next to him. He had short black hair under his hat, wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and had a beard that covered half of his chin. He looked at least thirty years old.
The gentleman took out the slightly ostentatious gold watch from his pocket and repeatedly looked at the time.
Was he urging Caspar to join him? Was he also planning to go to that Beyonder gathering?
Angel looked at the unexpected companion, who looked back at her without hesitation, as if surprised by her height, with curiosity in his brown eyes.
"Come with me, if you're any later you won't be able to get in."
Kaspers collected the introduction fee and took the two guests out of the bar kitchen, walked through the narrow alley, and came to a dark house.
Seeing Angel take out the puppy mask and put it on, he nodded with satisfaction, took out an iron mask from his pocket and handed it to the black-haired man. The latter took off his glasses and put on the mask that only covered the upper half of his face.
Wait, it comes with a mask? I also...
Angel opened her mouth in surprise and was about to ask for her share when Caspar knocked on the door.
