Miss Frieda didn't ask what "that ceremony" was, and she and Miss Bevanna walked out of the vibrant forest while stepping on the green leaves and tender grass.
There is a clear boundary between the forest and the outside world. The snow field and the grassland are bounded by the valley without interfering with each other. It is really a strange sight.
"The Middleton family will be extinct, and another ancient family will disappear forever. I think the bloodline of the elf priest may never appear in human beings again."
This is exactly what she lamented.
"It's not just that, from a secular point of view, the disappearance of the orthodox royal family of Fidiktli may not necessarily cause any trouble. The king has already made a decision to give up the throne to that lucky foreigner."
Having said that, Miss Bevanna obviously paused:
"Maybe the royal family has illegitimate children living outside the country."
"At least this generation and the previous generation did not, which can be confirmed from the turmoil 12 years ago."
Miss Bevanna nodded upon hearing this, and did not continue further discussion on this topic. She remembered a conversation two months ago, the protagonists of the conversation were Bishop Palod and Robert Williams, and the conversation started because Jenkins asked the church to help investigate the reason for Williams' fortune.
The result was found out a long time ago, but after Robert learned the truth, he insisted not to tell his children.
"Only a sage could come up with such an interesting script, it's really..."
She smiled and shook her head, waiting for fate to arrange roles for the protagonists on the stage.
(chocolate sleep... )
Although Jenkins was tired from studying and working in the antique shop, he still did not forget that he promised Miss Mihail to participate in the psychic game tonight.
When Dad heard Jenkins talking about it, his eyes were a little weird. He also specifically asked if Hesha would go together, and according to Ms. Mihail, Hathaway strongly opposed her participation in such an event, so she didn't even know about it.
Hearing this, the look in the father's eyes when he looked at Jenkins became even more strange. That feeling is like observing some rare animal.
Although it was only last week, due to the repeated repetitions on the 31st, when I think about it again, I always feel that half a month has passed. When boarding the carriage waiting in front of the antique shop with chocolates in his arms, Miss Mihail's pretty face always made him feel calm again.
After all, this is the only ordinary person among his very few friends who is not a gifter.
Chocolate is also accompanying him, perhaps because the cat was too young when he was adopted, and he was not very good at taking care of cats at that time, so the relationship between the two was a little too close, which is why Chocolate has developed the clingy character it is now.
Jenkins doesn't hate this though.
"Long time no see, your clothes today are really beautiful."
Even at the beginning of winter Miss Michel wore dresses. But this kind of skirt is specially thickened, and the naked eye can tell how thick the skirt with blue lace is.
He was also wearing a warm long windbreaker, with a woolen jacket and a white embroidered sweater inside, and the fashionable collar of the shirt inside could be vaguely seen from the unbuttoned collar.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Mademoiselle Michael said with a smile that no lady would resent such words.
And this is what Hathaway taught him little by little during the constant relationship with Jenkins.
None of them had dinner, because there would be a special dinner for everyone before the game started. In the carriage, Miss Michel also briefly introduced what happened today.
In fact, the host of the game is not her, but a friend of hers named Lindsay.
"Lindsay? This is not a common surname. The only Lindsay I know is the Speaker of the Kingdom's House of Lords."
"Yes, Laura Lindsay is Mr. Speaker's third granddaughter. Although his father is only a humble viscount, Laura is deeply loved by Duke Lindsay."
In the eyes of a real noble like Miss Michel, the title of viscount is just "inconspicuous", especially the kind of noble who has no value and can only rely on the title.
Ms. Laura Lindsay's Ouija board was introduced by Ms. Michael, and she bought the exact same item in a thrift store. In fact, many of their friends had bought the same item there.
Afterwards, Miss Lindsay didn't know whether she was bored or simply curious about this aspect, so she organized this psychic game. Miss Michel was naturally invited as a good friend, and Jenkins was a male companion.
In the parties and salons held by unmarried ladies, male companions are as important a part as beautiful jewelry.
It's not just childish comparisons, it sometimes involves more complex issues.
The above knowledge was learned by Jenkins when he read court novels recently. Thinking of this, he felt that the church was absolutely correct in setting the course of noble etiquette as the first batch of compulsory courses.
"It seems that we should go to the bishop earlier and ask when the class will start."
Because he just finished work, Jenkins was still wearing his very dirty black style clothes.
He explained his request to go home and change his outfit, but Mademoiselle Michael just smiled and said to Jenkins:
"It doesn't matter. This time the game venue will be very special. We don't need cumbersome clothes, just regular clothes. I have to say, Mr. Williams' clothes really make you look younger."
Jenkins immediately fell silent, lest she see that the so-called "young" was real at all.
Due to the heavy snow yesterday, the whole city was covered in silver. But it was only November after all, and this was the coastal city of Nolan, not the extreme northern city of Ruen, and the snow had already shown some signs of melting in the evening.
Looking at the snow outside, Jenkins took the initiative to bring up a new topic, which is the new book "Frozen" by the great writer.
He had a new idea. Since the Advent Ceremony was two-way, he could go to Loen to directly observe the appearance of the Ice and Snow Kingdom.
And that book, in fact, has been completed, and it can be sent to the publishing house only after Jenkins fixes the details. This is also the last big income he planned for this year.
The price of vegetables in winter is very expensive, and it is very difficult to eat some meat in this season. Although at the end of autumn, Jenkins has stored a large number of vegetables that are easy to store for a long time at home according to Mary Williams's confession, but he really doesn't want to spend the whole winter eating vegetables.
In the past few months, he has fully experienced the inconvenience of this era, but only recently realized that winter food is the most unbearable thing.
