"Shade, I'm packed. We can go home."

Megan knocked on the study door in high spirits. After waiting a moment, the two maids inside opened it.

The witch entered with a smile, but after passing the two maids, she suddenly stopped and backed up.

She studied Tifa and Matilda. The former still wore a composed smile, while the latter looked somewhat uncomfortable, averting her eyes and not daring to meet Megan's gaze.

As Megan continued staring at them, two pale arms reached out from behind her and wrapped around her neck. Audrey then leaned her head over Megan's left shoulder and gently sniffed Matilda.

"A little reminder: besides perfume and mouthwash, you should wash your hair carefully too. A witch's nose is very sensitive."

Megan said this, and before Audrey withdrew behind her, she gave Tifa an unreadable look. Only then did Megan smile and walk toward Shade:

"If you're hungry, tell me earlier. If you fill up on appetizers, what are you going to do about dinner later?"

That evening, Shade did not throw the Crystal Shoes and return home. Instead, he left the city with Megan for the Dragon Nest, then returned home from there.

Leisha and Dorothy had no objections to the appearance of the twin witches. They even warmly asked whether they had brought nightgowns.

But the Duchess clearly had strong objections. Taking advantage of Shade going to the washroom, she slightly raised her chin.

"Weren't you at Bella's place? Why have you come to my home again?"

"When did you change your name to Luvia Annette?"

Having just witnessed how "formidable" the other woman's maids were, Megan smiled as she retorted:

"If you weren't Luvia, would you have the right to say that?"

Leisha snickered at the side. She loved watching things like this.
