Mystery: But the Witch's Path

Chapter 14 Fooling History?

After reading these letters, Altair understood why he had received so many at once.

They were basically already away from Backlund when they received the royal news, and as soon as they returned, they would send a letter to inquire about the schedule and confirm the class time.

Yeji wrote down in the letter when he would have free time.

Based on his memory, Altair grouped courses with similar content together, such as...

Monday morning: etiquette, clothing, jewelry...

Tuesday: dance, music, piano...

Wednesday, painting...

.......

These courses are scheduled until Friday, with three or four teachers giving classes almost every day.

Since we've already drunk the magic potion that enhances memory, we can just speedrun through it.

On Saturday and Sunday, he planned to go to the Army Club to learn how to use firearms, practice combat skills, and practice mysticism with Vivian.

...

After handing the letter to Hahn to mail it, Altair arrived at Vivian's house as agreed.

Since getting into the carriage, Altair had been passing the time by meditating, because he really didn't know what to do and was too bored. After a 20-minute journey, the carriage finally arrived at the address Vivian had given him: 3 Wellington Street, West End.

Upon seeing the villa before him, Altair's first thought was, "Are all witches this rich?"

After being led into the villa by a servant, Altair also met Vivian.

"Little Kexin, I didn't expect you to come so quickly. Looks like I'm still quite charming."

Hearing Vivian's teasing, Altair replied, "Of course, after all, you're the only person who can make me drop everything."

Upon hearing this, Vivian covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Should I give you a warm hug?"

Altair immediately gave Vivian a princess carry and carried her to the sofa to sit down.

"You're going to die!"

Looking at Vivian in his arms, Altair immediately said, "Didn't you just say you were going to give me a warm hug?"

........

Fortunately, he had drunk a memory-enhancing potion, which made Altair immediately recall all sorts of tricks from his previous life. This was enough to deal with Vivian, and he really managed to coax her into smiling.

As for flirting and chatting with witches.

As for what the experience is like, I can only say that "what my previous person said was really true." Although I haven't had a formal experience yet, just having that feeling is hard to describe.

.......

After exchanging pleasantries, Vivian led Altair into a room and pointed to five large trunks, saying...

"These boxes contain the clothes I asked you to take back. Make sure you bring them back safely and don't do anything naughty."

Looking at the five large boxes Vivian mentioned, Altair was a little dumbfounded. "So many?"

"Of course, this is part of my wardrobe for this season. Autumn is coming soon, and I'll need to change things up later. But those clothes aren't finished yet; these are all I have for now."

Knowing that women have a lot of clothes, I was prepared when I heard that I needed to move some clothes, so I brought two horse-drawn carriages, but now I still feel that it is not enough. There are five large trunks, each about 2 meters long and about 1 meter wide.

While Altair was still considering whether to hire a few more carriages, Vivian spoke up directly.

Stop looking and come with me.

Upon hearing Vivian's words, Altair turned around in surprise and followed Vivian out of the room and into another room.

Looking at the large boxes similar to the ones he needed to take, Altair asked curiously, "What's inside these? Are they also your clothes?"

Vivian smiled and said, "These are clothes, of course, but not mine. These are your clothes for this season, along with jewelry. The autumn clothes will be delivered directly to your home later."

Upon hearing this news, Altair froze on the spot. He had thought about what would happen next, but why did it happen so quickly!

Vivian slowly said, "Don't worry, considering your feelings, most of these clothes are rather conservative. But they're only conservative."

"You'll have to face this sooner or later, so you might as well take it slow."

"Come here now, let me help you change your clothes."

Vivian's words made Altair realize that he couldn't escape this predicament. He followed Vivian and randomly chose a set of "normal clothing" that didn't reveal any skin in the room.

"Hurry up and take off your clothes, I'll help you change. You can't possibly put these clothes on by yourself without a few people helping you."

Hearing Vivian's words, Altair immediately took off his outer clothes and started putting on his "new clothes," and with Vivian's help, he successfully changed into them as well.

Lord of Mysteries is set in the Victorian era, a time when women inevitably wore corsets and crinolines. While crinolines are no longer mandatory, corsets are still essential.

And that Roselle guy. Bastard! Instead of focusing on industrialization, he's made a mess of stockings and high heels!

Vivian looked at her finished work and said...

"Hmm, now I can finally show off your captivating figure. Remember to grow your hair long from now on; it would be a shame not to grow this beautiful blonde hair. For now, I can only make up for it with a top hat..."

At this moment, Altair felt like a doll, playing a dress-up game with someone.

And I am that doll!

After changing my clothes, I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, "I have to admit, I look really handsome."

While she was still distracted by this, Vivian touched Altair's waist and said, "Your waist is even thinner than mine."

Looking at her current state, I felt like I was being teased. Altair then groped back, which made Vivian scream.

Based on the principle that he would never suffer a loss, Altair also began to flirt with Vivian.

........

At 6 p.m., Altair also left the West End and returned to Queens, choosing not to stay and have dinner with Vivian.

When they returned, the number of carriages accompanying them had increased to nine.

They were all passenger vehicles, and the boxes were so big. It was already good if one vehicle could fit three large boxes in. We couldn't find any horse-drawn carriages for hauling goods, so we had to use passenger vehicles.

The most valuable box was placed in Altair's own car; according to Vivian, the total value of all the clothes in that box was less than a third of its value.

It's filled with all sorts of precious gemstone jewelry, such as diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and so on.

Upon hearing this news, Altair's first thought was, "I think it would be more profitable to give up the 'arms' business and go straight into the 'synthetic gems' business."

The technology is readily available and can be replicated in less than a month. Then, we can accumulate several months' worth of production and add a new mineral vein to the world.

To directly bring up the "Kashin Gem Mine" incident—isn't that a blatant disregard for history?

However, considering that the weapons might help him digest the potion, he decided to get the weapons first and then the gems.

When he got home in the evening, he asked Hahn to send someone to help Altair sort the boxes.

Have the servants sort out the clothes, jewelry, and other items from the trunk.

Those belonging to oneself are placed in one's own walk-in closet, effectively giving oneself two additional walk-in closets.

At the same time, an order was given to prepare an empty room for routine cleaning. Vivian's clothes were put into her room.

After finishing everything, Altair changed his clothes before eating dinner.

Because of the corset, Altair could barely eat anything!

This is so frustrating! Who came up with this idea?!

Even if I took off those clothes right now, I would still feel uncomfortable.
