Before Shade left Moon Bay that night, Miss Sylvia and Miss Benanith also came to the manor.
It was obvious that they had agreed not to let Shad participate in Sunday's action. The witches didn't dislike Shad or deliberately lost their temper, they just thought that Shad didn't need to do everything by himself.
Therefore, Shade could only agree to the current action plan, but in his mind he wanted to write faster when answering questions on Sunday and try to go to the battlefield as early as possible.
After returning home that night, Shade also told the ladies at home about his arrangements:
"For the next Friday and Saturday, in addition to going to Moon Bay every evening to check the situation, I will stay at home to prepare for the exam. Oh, Carina, this is what Tifa asked me to bring to you."
He didn't forget to take out a box of snacks that the maid asked him to bring:
"She said she did it herself."
"As expected of you, you are my apprentice."
The duchess smiled and said to Lesia beside her, and then reminded Shade:
"Also, you forgot to wipe off the lipstick mark Tifa left on your face."
"oh!"
Shade hurriedly wiped it, and then heard the witch's laughter and Lesia's helpless voice:
"Xia De, there is nothing on your face. Didn't I say you are very clever and smart? Why can you even fall for this kind of trick?"
The witch stood up and sat next to Shade, hugged Shade's neck, and then said to her in a show-off manner:
"This is the spice of life. Even if Shade knows it's a trick, he has to fall for it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be fun to just say that he didn't do anything?"
"boring."
The red-haired princess snorted, and then saw Miss Carina's arms wrapped around Shade's neck as if she was about to kiss Shade.
"Well, I plan to quit sex for a while before the exam ends."
Shade declared in a low voice again that he had already said this to Luvia and Dorothy, but this was the first time he said it to Lesia and Carina.
And none of them showed any surprise:
"When we wrote to Luvia this morning to tell her that we were moving here temporarily, she mentioned this in her reply, and Dorothy also mentioned to Lesia that you have been acting strange recently."
The Duchess said, patting the folds on her skirt, and then stretched out her hand to Lesia:
"give it to me."
So Lesia took out a pen from her skirt pocket with a look of helplessness and handed it to her. The witch took it in her hand and said in an exaggerated way:
"Yeah~ it fell."
With a snap, the expensive-looking pen fell to the ground. Then the witch stood up suddenly, turned her back to Shade, and bent down to pick up the pen.
Lesia looked at Shade with a smile:
"Rebooting? Shade, you should just reboot in your dreams."
Of course, that night, the three of them finished their various things in the study first, and then washed up and went to rest after ten o'clock.
Therefore, when Shade was woken up by little Mia's "meow" early on Friday morning, and then realized that he had a white arm on his left and right sides on his chest and was unable to get up, he was really thinking about it.
What have you been doing lately:
"Don't I have to abandon distracting thoughts and study hard?"
Last night, Shade didn't lock little Mia in the closet because he wanted to test Lesia and Miss Carina's reaction to the cat looking at them at night. But when Shade asked this on Friday morning
When asked the question, the ladies of the Cavendish family almost said in unison:
"Lock it up!"
Therefore, people can still understand each other in some aspects. For example, they all understand why Shade locks little Mia in the closet every time.
In short, on the following Friday and Saturday, Shade did not wander around Yuewan as promised, but studied carefully at home or helped Miss Carina handle some government documents.
He found that it was actually not difficult to become the duchess's clerk or political officer. The most difficult thing was actually gaining the trust to have access to those secrets.
"The secret of politics lies not in ability, but in relationships."
During lunch on Friday, Shade suddenly said to little Mia, and Miss Carina, who was sitting next to him, ordered Lecia:
"Lecia, write this sentence down. You can say it suddenly when you get together with your friends in the future, so that everyone will feel that you are very deep and capable."
Her Royal Highness the Princess paid no attention to her.
Reviewing at home means that you have more time to deal with things that you have not had time to do recently. Of course, this does not refer to housework. The maids will not let Shade do it. He refers to washing the cats.
Regarding washing the cat, Shade could actually see that little Mia was not afraid of water. Shade even guessed that the cat could swim, but it simply hated the very act of "bathing".
In fact, Shade does not wash cats very frequently. At least he has not washed cats since the beginning of summer this year. When washing cats this afternoon, there was another chase at home. Miss Carina went out to do errands, and only Lei
Qiya was at home, and she watched Shade and the cat running around the house. Shade chased them from the second floor to the third floor, and then from the third floor to the first floor.
Without using any supernatural powers, he relied solely on his speed and agility to finally block Mia in the kitchen on the first floor and capture her.
When Shade carried the cat back to the second floor and prepared to enter the bathroom, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, asked:
"Do you need help?"
"No need, I don't understand what kind of prejudice little Mia has against bathing."
"Meow~"
"Don't scream, I won't pity you."
Her Highness the Princess hid her face behind the book again.
The following evening, I briefly went to Yuewan Bay. After making sure that there was nothing important to deal with, Shade returned home and had dinner. Then it was a repeating day. On Saturday, cat washing was missing from daily activities, but in the afternoon
Shade went to Middlesbrough and spent a leisurely afternoon with Grace and Helen.
Recently, he has been busy in Yuewan, and Shade has not spared much time to accompany the Hongdie girls. Since the incident in the snow after the Green Lake incident, the relationship between the three of them has undergone a qualitative change. Grace and Helen
They are also family members to outsiders.
He told them this afternoon about Miss Elisa:
"She also comes from the Fifth Era, but she has been sleeping and only woke up in the past few hundred years. However, she was born in the middle to late Fifth Era. I don't know if you have ever encountered her."
The girls in white skirts and black skirts looked at each other. As the older sister, Grace was obviously sending some signal to her younger sister, but Shade didn't understand what they were thinking.
On the other hand, when we went to Moon Bay after dinner on Saturday, although Miss Elisa had not arrived with Sister Devlin and Miss Aurora, Siris, who happened to be at Belindle Manor, gave Shade a lot of tickets:
"Starting next week, the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe will perform at the Eddington Theater in Yuewan City. Shade, don't you have many friends in Yuewan? You can give these to them."
"Will Miss Benenice and you perform on stage?"
"Of course not. Vanessa has not been on stage for many years. Although I am the deputy leader, I rarely perform on stage. I am mainly responsible for backstage management and financial work."
"So what's so good about this show?"
"You are good at talking."
The young blond girl said with a smile. She looked around to make sure there was no one, then held Shade's head and pressed him against the corridor wall. Then the little unicorn who happened to be walking in the corridor happened to see this scene when he came over.
It blinked blankly, turned around and left here.
After the time passed by Saturday, it officially came to the 27th of the Thunder Moon, which is the last Sunday in July.
The two Cavendish and the maids at home left early that morning, while Dr. Schneider, Priest Augustus, Dorothy and Luvia, who were dressed very formally, arrived at eight o'clock in the morning punctually.
came to Sha De's house.
In order to prevent accidents, the mermaid oil painting in the living room has been temporarily moved by Shade to the side bed. When everyone sat down on the sofa in the living room, Shade suddenly felt as if time had gone backwards when he looked at his friends.
Year.
Because this time last year, everyone was so nervous.
The exam started at nine o'clock that morning, and the venue used was still Room 2 on the second floor. That room is now used as the entrance to the "Hall of the Secret Keepers," but these ancient places will not easily affect the projection ceremony.
Otherwise, they would not be so hidden, so there is no need to worry about the "Hall of Secret Keepers" being discovered by the professors.
Just like last year's summer and winter exams, Dr. Schneider still asked Shade to put little Mia on the windowsill because he thought it would bring luck to people.
The seating ceremony began, and professors from the far-flung Far North City College were projected here. After a long absence, Shade met Professor Garcia, the deputy dean of the School of History. This professor with elven ancestry joined Holy Worship when Shade
Lens took good care of him from the beginning, but it was an exam at this time, so the two didn't have much communication.
Because of her joint training status, Luvia is usually the one with the fewest subjects in this exam. But this exam is particularly important to her because she plans to pass all the remaining exams in "Registered Fortune Teller" in this exam.
suject.
Once she passes the exam, it means that she has officially obtained the "Registered Fortune Teller" certificate and the fortune teller professional qualification certificate.
With these two certificates, even if she does nothing in the future and stays at the current seventh-ring level, she will definitely have a prosperous and happy life in the future.
And if Luvia continues to take the "Astrologer Qualification Certificate" and "Secret Keeper Qualification Certificate", she can apply to become a member of the Prophet Association if she holds three certificates at the same time and reaches the high level.
The president of the branch. If you are lucky enough, you may even have the opportunity to compete for key positions at the headquarters of the Prophet Association or even the president's seat in the future.
In short, in this fairly smooth road to job promotion, the most difficult test is the "registered fortune teller", but Shade has great confidence in Luvia. After all, the long-haired Luvia has taken this certificate many times.
