"I will submit your self-devised management method to Professor Malcolm. I believe he will applaud your wisdom and marvel at the fact that you truly learned something from those history lessons he taught you."
Morphy stood up and patted Maxim on the shoulder, saying in a deep voice:
"I have seen your progress, Mark, and if you keep up this momentum, you will soon be able to stand on your own. But there is one final issue...
Ritual!
The sense of ritual we've always been emphasizing."
The Vampire Lord pulled out a folded piece of paper from his chest and stuffed it into Maxim's hand, saying:
"I have prepared it for you, just read from the script when the time comes."
Maxim glanced at the text on the paper.
He displayed a rather odd expression. Well, this must be considered one of Master Morphy's little bad tastes.
