"You're really cute at that time!"
"I can't believe Master Merlin is so gorgeous!"
"I can't wait for the Opera House performance next week!" [Marianne]
"I heard you two will be performing as well" [Tio]
"That's right" [Neloufa]
"It's definitely going to be good" [Kara]
"I wonder what it's all about" [Adnan]
"It better be worth it, or you will be scolded by Dear Mother" [Mara]
"Scolded by Her Highness Queen Amleth... I... I don't want that" [Neloufa].
"She's just joking. There's no way Auntie would scold us for something like that" [Diana].
"Say the girl who will was severely scolded!" [Kara]
"Waaa... Now I'm scared" [Neloufa].
"Don't worry Neloufa! Just do your best! Dear mother would not scold you for it" [Kara]
"We're all looking forward to it!" [Mara]
"I wonder how it will go" [Marianne]
"It will be interesting indeed" [Tio].
Before class starts, we all discuss what happened yesterday. I'm glad people are talking about the Succubus Festival now. It's a success, and with the opera house performing next week, people are really excited.
I'm also glad that the part where we all get severely scolded by Aunt Amleth wasn't shown yesterday. However, after Auntie Amleth scolded us, she agreed to show the Opera House play through the Magic Motion Orb. According to her, it's better to use the Magic Motion Orb that way instead of just using it for the Royal Announcement.
Master Merlin also suggested several other things, such as using it as a siren to warn others of impending disaster, or using it to show the various nations discussing the threat of the Devil King during the upcoming conference. I also suggested using it to show a variety of things like cooking or adventuring, giving tips, or just learning. Maybe have Saintess Rumia teach them through the orb, or have Teacher Tiara do what she usually does, but to the public. It's definitely better than just having the Magic Motion Orb collect dust.
"Hello my dear little students, I hope you miss me!" [Merlin]
"You're pretty!"
"I'm jealous!" [Marianne]
"The succubus's makeup, I wonder if I should collaborate with them. They will definitely appreciate my giant silkworm" [Tio].
"Don't you bathe? It's the same make-up as yesterday... Hick... Hick... Hick... I'm sorry!" [Adnan]
Master Merlin starts the lesson with a curse on the insensitive Adnan. Classic Master Merlin.
Since today's lesson isn't anything difficult, I actually yawned several times during the lesson. My mind wanders, especially when I think about what else I can do during the festival.
The festival coincides with the conference, and during the conference Valdrid will also be there. I'm sure that even if he doesn't come directly, he will use his influence over Gastrium to gain some advantage as well.
Let's not forget the Empire. The First Prince Rufus has clearly stated that he will not be attending. When he said that, it's clear that the Empire won't attend either, but since Emperor Justin isn't dead yet, his word isn't final, so there might even be someone from the Empire.
The bell rang, signifying the end of school for the day. Since we promised to show a good play, Neloufa and I wasted no time and went straight to the opera house, but
"Can we follow too?" [Kara]
"Sure, why not" [Diana]
"Thank you." [Mara]
"That's strange, don't you have to go and greet the other two dukes who are visiting the castle today?" [Marianne]
"Yes, but..." [Kara]
"We're not in a good mood today." [Mara]
"Even Dear Mother says just skip and do something else, no need to meet with the dukes" [Kara]
"I feel sorry for Dear Mother, but..." [Mara]
"I just hope the Special Knight of Amleth will be by Mother's side" [Kara]
The other two dukes? The ones that Nar and Sas forbade me to meet with. I asked Marianne why they wanted to meet with Aunt Amleth today, and according to her, it was probably because of the conference and the festival, since one of the dukes has a strong connection to the Ministry of Finance.
"So they wanted to destroy the festival. I hope Miss Eisheth, Head Maid and Teacher Ledang will do their best and crush those two dukes instead!" [Diana].
"It will definitely be a long day at the castle... If Father is there, he will definitely help Her Highness" [Marianne].
"What about Liya's father?" [Diana]
"The Duke of the Fortress is helping out at the border right now" [Kara]
"At the border? Has something happened?" [Diana]
"We weren't told anything" [Mara]
Let's just hope it's nothing bad. Let's go to the opera house first.
