Chapter 219 The Last Witch (24)
By the middle of the banquet, everyone was getting drunk and excited, and was ready to have fun.
Viscount Santa Cruz first arranged for a string band to perform to entertain the guests, and also found some plump and beautiful local women to dance with the nobles.
But these were all routine activities, and the nobles were generally not very interested.
The atmosphere did not become lively until the mysterious sound of a snake flute was heard and five gypsy women, including Zimina, entered from the side door in formal attire and wearing veils.
This kind of performance is really fresh.
When faced with the "lowly" Gypsies, the princes and nobles present had different reactions.
Some people frowned in disgust, while others narrowed their eyes, their squinting gazes wandering over the gypsy woman's body.
The gypsy women danced gracefully to the singing and won applause from the audience. Then they took off their veils, revealing their beautiful faces.
The most beautiful one among them is Qimina.
She twisted her waist slightly and tossed her hair, causing several nobles to scramble for her.
Following Shisui's instructions, Zimina used her teasing skills to the utmost, blowing kisses to one man and winking at another, making the nobles, who rarely had contact with gypsies, unable to control themselves.
"It's really wild out in the remote countryside! Viscount Santa Cruz, you're so brave! I love it! Hahahaha!"
The person who spoke was an elderly prince. Apart from Princess Elisa, he was the most noble person present.
Qi Mina remembered what Shi Sui said, if she was going to choose, she should pick the biggest fish.
She did not flatter him blindly, but was distant and close to him. After teasing him, she ran into the arms of someone else, which made the prince possessive and his eyes never left her.
Viscount Santa Cruz already understood the situation.
He whispered quietly to the prince, "Your Excellency, gypsies are wild and difficult to tame, and she's a virgin... Tonight, I'll need your help in training her!"
"Haha! Good! Very good!!" The prince raised the aged wine and drank it all in one gulp.
...The banquet lasted until late at night, everyone was drunk, and Zimina was also sent to the prince's room.
Everything went smoothly as planned.
It's almost time for Shisui to leave the manor.
She had to show up at the church to create an alibi.
In this way, when Zimina attacks the prince later, Viscount Santa Cruz will fall into a new round of extreme panic - Tokiho is not here, but someone else is still harmed by "witchcraft", which proves that there is more than one witch.
That lingering and unavoidable feeling of fear would completely devour his sanity.
Just as she was about to take action, Tokiho noticed that a window in one of the rooms on the third floor of the castle was opened.
The person in the window is Princess Elisa.
At the banquet just now, her face was not very good and she left very early.
Shisui thought she was tired, but she didn't sleep at all.
Princess Elisa rested her hands on the windowsill, gazing into the distance with her cheeks in her hands. There was a maid beside her, and the master and servant were talking.
Since it was on the way anyway, Tokiho blended herself into the night, ran along the roof to her window, and eavesdropped on their conversation.
Maid: "Your Highness, you should rest early. You have to attend the hunting opening ceremony tomorrow."
Princess Elisa sighed and said nonchalantly, "What the hell is this hunting ceremony? The banquet lasts so late, it's a wonder they'll even be up tomorrow... I'm so fed up with these meaningless events. Look at these so-called officers and knights, they spend their days in debauchery, and when the country needs them to lead the troops into battle, they're nothing but a bunch of useless idiots!"
"Hush!" the maid nervously advised the princess, "Your Highness, walls have ears. This is not the palace. Be careful what you say!"
Princess Alyssa curled her lips indifferently: "What can they do to me?"
"Yes... Of course no one dares to disrespect Her Royal Highness," the maid said kindly, "But you don't have to worry about whether to fight or not. In the future, you will marry into a neighboring country and become the queen, enjoying wealth and glory—"
"Are you the one who decides my future?!" Princess Elisa interrupted the maid with a hint of anger in her tone.
The maid immediately knelt down and slapped her face: "I have crossed the line. Please calm down, Your Highness!"
“Hurry up and get up. I’m not blaming you. I just…” Alyssa sighed again: “Forget it, there’s no point in telling you this. Help me prepare the bed to sleep…”
...Tokiho listened to the conversation between the master and servant and a smile appeared on her face.
Princess Alyssa, that's interesting.
Ding ding ding——
The large bronze bell in the manor's clock tower was rung.
It's past midnight now.
Tokisui left the manor and headed towards the church.
