Chapter 2363: The Gathering Banquet

Chapter 2363: Chapter 2363: The Gathering Banquet

The silhouette of the girl within the drapes lay languidly like a cat stretching, with the flickering candlelight making her shadow dance as well.

But soon after, her silhouette seemed to double. The girl stretching did not move, yet another identical figure sat up from her side, propping itself with a hand on the bed.

Shard wasn’t surprised; he merely raised an eyebrow. The head of the witch had already emerged from the closed drapes, the long-unseen, beautiful Twin Witches looking at Shard with a smile full of delight:

"Shard! Aren’t you surprised at all? Audrey and I specifically timed the expiration of the magic potion ’Cat in the Bottle’ and even prepared cat costumes in advance before coming to find you."

Unlike the mermaid in the water, when "Desire" surfaced, Shard could not tell there were shoulders below the water, but Megan emerging from the drapes allowed Shard to see the whiteness of her shoulders... Transforming with a magic potion does not include clothing.

"My badge started to heat up as soon as you appeared."

Shard patted his chest and said with a smile:

"And the Twin-Tailed Cat, isn’t that an obvious hint? But you shouldn’t have appeared in the city center like that — it’s too dangerous. What if the Church had discovered you?"

The purple and red drapes shook again, and then Audrey’s beautiful head also peeked out from behind the drapes, just above Megan.

Her rosy lips were full of color, her lightly made-up face looking somewhat different from Megan’s. Audrey’s hands reached out from the drapes, wrapping around Megan’s neck, and she smiled with squinted eyes:

"Megan, I told you Shard would definitely blame us."

"This isn’t blame, Megan, Audrey, I am worri..."

Shard closed his mouth because the two sisters, with their charming expressions, parted the drapes. Clearly, after returning to human form from cats and speaking to Shard, they hadn’t had time to change clothes. And although the room was not very brightly lit, with the drapes open, Shard could see all the details clearly.

Audrey lay on her "sister" Megan’s back, while Megan continued to slightly lean forward, extending her fair arms towards Shard:

Shard took two steps forward to grasp those hands, and then Megan suddenly pulled him close, trapping him with four arms.

The kisses after such a long separation were full of passion, and thanks to their perfect coordination, kissing the three of them together did not diminish the fiery emotion they wished to express after being apart.

When they parted, gasping for air, the shine in the sisters’ eyes was nearly overflowing:

"Shard, it’s been two months since we last met, hasn’t it?"

Audrey’s smooth neck overlapped with Megan’s, and she bit her red lips lightly, her golden eyes reflecting Shard’s image:

"Do you know? Every night we’ve been thinking of you. Our longing for you is hotter than molten lava from an erupting volcano."

Her hands passed around Megan’s sides to grasp Shard’s hands, while Megan, behind her, gently sniffed at Shard’s neck:

"Very good, very good, no other witch’s perfume. I thought you... truly envy Galina~ truly envy her, why does she always get everything?"

"Long time no see, Audrey, Megan."

He then kissed both ladies’ foreheads, making them giggle:

"But don’t think you can satisfy us with just this. After a long absence, do you think a single kiss will appease us? A Knight, Witches aren’t so easily satisfied."

The girls, with a forceful action, pulled Shard onto the bed. However, Shard was actually perched on the side of it while Megan began to touch the buttons of Shard’s shirt, and Audrey found a huge glass goblet from among the soft bedding behind:

"Shard, I want this much!"

She said coyly, to which Shard looked in surprise at the goblet but then nodded immediately:

"If that’s all, I suppose it’s not an issue. It’s been a long time, everything with Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals is resolved, right?"

"Of course it’s resolved. But what are you thinking, Shard, how could we let you off so easily?"

Megan lightly slapped him, and after undoing Shard’s white shirt buttons, nuzzled her nose against Shard’s chest:

"That’s Audrey’s demand, and mine is the same, so it’s double."

They laughed foolishly together, and with the snap of someone’s fingers, the candles on either side of the bedhead suddenly extinguished, plunging the cabin into complete darkness. The ritual circles on the walls still glimmered like a starry river. But this wasn’t just a witch’s decoration; it was soundproof, sealed inside and out, and had a blockade against space teleportation, so even Miss Sylvia couldn’t get in.

Four hands eagerly discarded Shard’s clothing from behind the drapes onto the carpet, and Shard felt himself being tightly coiled, like ensnared by a Big Snake.

(Iluna in prayer...)

"Oh, Miss Haley Aflora, good evening, did you arrive this afternoon?"

On this evening before dinner at Belindel Estate, when Megan was walking into the mansion holding Shard’s arm, Shard immediately noticed the brown-haired girl with a cold expression, standing in the entrance hall talking to Miss Swift.

"Good evening, Mr. Hamilton, good evening, Miss Edwards."

She politely greeted the two, while Miss Swift just nodded with a smile:

"Matilda just said dinner is about to start, you can head straight to the dining room now."

At the same time, a large number of footsteps could be heard coming from upstairs. Having received the news, everyone at Moon Bay came to the first floor to welcome them.

Leading the group was naturally the owner of the estate, Earl Belindel, the Blonde Witch slightly raised her head looking at Megan, who was holding onto Shard’s arm tightly:

"Long time no see, Megan... I already know about your relationship with Shard, there’s no need to act like this in front of me, who are you trying to show off for? Hmm, but I must admit, you do look much healthier than before."

Megan, in an unusually good mood, responded with a smile:

"I’m not showing off Shard, this is our way of expressing intimacy. Good evening, Luviya, you must be Miss Eles, we met at the council, good evening. And to everyone else, good evening... Ah! Look who our little guest is, a young unicorn!"

Luviya waved to her with a smile, and little Liana, who came along with Emilia and Angelina to see the commotion, walked last. Having spent time with so many Grand Witches these days, the pure white little beast was visibly braver and willingly wandered around the house even without Angelina by its side.

It looked up at the witches below but didn’t respond to their call to move forward; instead, it stayed by Emilia’s side. Of course, others didn’t know that the little unicorn had already seen things most of them were unaware of... Luviya stood beside a railing, smiling and accepting the initial greetings from Miss Edwards and others.

She was curious about the expressions others would show when they discovered that the little unicorn simply refused to approach Megan and Audrey... She looked forward to that moment.

The arrival of the "Knowledge and Wisdom" Grand Witch and Miss Haley Aflora filled the dinner table that night with people in a meaningful way. Apart from those preoccupied with work, such as Margaret who even at night prepares speeches and writes letters to her father, all the witches and witch apprentices were present.

When everyone took their seats, Miss Matilda and Tifa directed the maids in placing the lavish dinner on the table, and Megan, sitting specifically next to Shard, whispered:

"This table is long enough for now, but I imagine someday we’ll need an extended table to fit everybody."

Upon hearing this, the girls all laughed together, even the Countess was in a good mood. Miss Matilda brought her a warm towel for her hands, and as the Countess cleaned her hands, she said:

"Matilda, add two more chairs, and you and Tifa sit down for dinner as well."

This time, Miss Maid did not refuse, and then the Duchess quietly instructed:

"Also, take away the cushion where Shard’s cat was lying and replace it with the one I prepared yesterday. You do it personally... don’t mention I instructed this."

She didn’t notice Miss Matilda stiffened slightly, her face blushing a bit as she quietly glanced at Shard.

Among everyone present, the only one who hadn’t met Megan and Audrey was the Elf Girl. Emilia, as a guest, was also placed in a very forward position, next to Megan on the other side.

Before cleaning her hands with a warm towel and preparing to eat, she softly said to Megan:

"Madam, you are truly beautiful, absolutely radiant."

Megan smiled very happily:

"You’re Emilia, aren’t you? I’ve heard Shard mention you, he said you also have space-related spirit runes?"

That’s why Shard asked Emilia to look for the "Hidden Passage" at Saint Byrons Integrated Academy, unfortunately, Emilia hadn’t made any progress.

"Yes, Madam."

"We can exchange ideas in the future, I’m also proficient in space power. Do you know the story of my family? I have a very powerful ancestor."

The real Space Witch, Miss Sylvia, meanwhile was talking with Vanessa:

"Did you see it earlier? Megan and Shard’s relationship seems a bit unusually close, they came together... This afternoon, they must have been fooling around, just like we would."

The golden-haired opera singer nodded, fingers nervously tapping the table, pondering what she should do. Meanwhile, Ciris beside her was discussing tonight’s dinner content with Miss Swift and Miss Haley Aflora:

"Lately, I’ve been accompanying Vanessa and having too many feasts in Moon Bay, I’m starting to worry about my weight, I’m not a witch, I don’t have their unreasonable talents."

Upon hearing this, Angelina sitting across the table, the Little Princess stiffened, quickly checked her belly, and carefully recalled her food intake and exercise over the past days, then her face turned pale:

"Oh no!"

The young unicorn, just gnawing on an apple in its hand, discontentedly cried out, causing Tifa, passing by behind them, to smirk. She reached out to gently stroke the head of the pure white little beast, who happily accepted the touch and stole a bunch of translucent grapes from her plate.
