After a peaceful night's sleep, Tuesday came, and Shard appeared at Margaret's Manor early that morning.
Because he arrived quite early, Margaret was still eating breakfast with Miss Sylvia, so she invited Shard and Mia to join them for another meal.
Margaret seemed particularly fond of sweets, with the taste of the dessert surpassing that of the main course. After hearing Shard talk about Carmen Eddington, she nodded in agreement:
"The matter of the invitation letter is easy. So, you'll come to the banquet on Friday as well?"
"Of course."
Shard stroked Mia:
"I have a feeling that this might be the last grand banquet we can attend before the Moon Bay events conclude, so I hope to enjoy it."
"Looking at the current weather, even though it's summer, I doubt the banquet can open the outdoor activity areas."
Miss Sylvia gazed out the window:
"Did Bella and Luviya mention when this fog might clear?"
