No matter what secrets the Witches had, Shade was still very happy tonight.
A specific relic was about to fall into his hands, he had also obtained a job with proper identification, and there was even a lead on the "White Stone Crystal." Presumably, when Miss Tifa Servit delivered that relic, she would explain what she wanted Shade to help her with.
Having finished their business, Miss Galina and the people from the Seer Association left Duke Lucas's residence directly. Shade, however, did not leave. The moment he stepped out of the study, he was "caught" by the old duke, who had been waiting for a long time.
The enthusiastic duke brought him back to the Rhodes Cards salon being held in the banquet hall, introduced him to the guests invited that evening, and carefully examined Founding Silver Moon up close while wearing gloves.
Whether because of that card or because of Miss Galina, everyone was extremely enthusiastic toward him. Every person wanted to get acquainted with the young Detective, and in a single hour, Shade received more business cards than he had since arriving in this world.
Duke Lucas took great care of Shade. He even reminded the guests not to reveal the identity of the Detective holding the Founding Silver Moon card, though they could say that the card had truly appeared.
The Rhodes Cards enthusiasts were all excited. By the time Shade got the chance to sit down and eat something, an hour had already passed since he left the study.
"Thank you."
After finishing his discussion of Rhodes Cards techniques with the two gentlemen beside him, Shade accepted the napkin handed over by a maid. Then he realized that the maid was Miss Bayes.
The brown-haired Sorceress winked at Shade. Understanding her meaning, he nodded slightly.
