The Lord Of The Mysteries

Chapter 111

Moments later, the lecturer who had relatively high cheekbones was up to the wooden podium. He cleared his throat and said, "Good morning, good woman and benefactor.I am Xaviera Hedda. What I will share with you today is my experience in managing family expenses. There are three parts, the first being how a family with a hundred pound annual income should balance food, housing, clothing, and hiring helpers. The second is where families earning two hundred pounds a year have to increase their spending to appear more decent … "

Melissa listened attentively. He had his brother's annual income at his fingertips.

It was already over two hundred pounds, he thought, half relieved and half scared.

He was relieved and satisfied with his current life, but was also afraid that this way of life would vanish in the blink of an eye.

At this point, the burgundy-haired Selena covered her mouth. He told his two friends calmly, "He seems to be a believer in the Lord of Storms. He's wearing the Windstorm badge."

Melissa turned her head and saw Xaviera wearing a badge depicting strong winds and turbulent waves on her left chest.

He quickly explained, "Bu Shaud who told me about this seminar is also a follower of the Lord of Storms. I don't think it's strange that the speaker is a follower as well."

"Yes, I don't think there's a problem here. We're here to learn how to budget, "Elizabeth agrees with Melissa.

"But apart from Melissa, we don't need to, nor do we have the right to manage our family's finances." Selena pouts.

Elizabeth denied without hesitation, "But ultimately we will marry and form our own family."

Selena was a little afraid of Elizabeth after the demon mirror prophecy. He nodded in embarrassment and pretended to listen to the lecture attentively.

The lecturer, Xaviera, raised his right hand and said, "The premise of any form of budgeting is to respect the opinion of the head of the household. They are a source of income, a sustainer of the family. They face anxiety, stress, problems, and chaos in society to get everything for us. Therefore, we must create a quiet home, free from outside problems. This will allow them to relax when they get home, allowing their souls to be cleansed, leaving them better prepared for the challenges to come…

"So, as the famous philosopher, sociologist, humanities scholar, and economist Mr. Leumi, a woman is a household angel."

Selena stroked her cheeks and traced her dimples as she whispered with a hint of excitement, "Leumi, the one who says that humans are born free?"

Elizabeth hesitated before answering. "Yes, but he's a follower of the Lord of Storms."

At this point, the lecturer, Xaviera, continued, "Pak Leumi also told us that women are innately flawed in terms of intelligence and logic. In this case, can not judge for themselves whether they should accept the judgment of father and husband. such as the church..” 1

Melissa, Selena, and Elizabeth looked at each other, speechless, after hearing such descriptions.

"Let's go?" Selena finally suggested.

Melissa and Elizabeth nodded.

"Good!"

They took their veiled hats and bowed, sneaking to the side door in an attempt to leave without attracting attention.

When they carefully arrived outside and were finally able to stand up straight, they suddenly heard applause coming from the small hall.

Melissa instinctively looked back at the hall.

He saw Madam Shaud, as well as many other women, clapping.

Phew! Praise Madam. She leaves that uncomfortable place with Selena and Elizabeth.

"How about we go to Harrods?" selena advises while standing under a tree. He had forgotten about what had just happened.

Melissa was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I plan to go home to study."

"Learn ..." Selena fiddled with her wine-red hair, as if she had returned to an ordinary life.

"Also, I had to buy bread, beef, potatoes, and fruits .. Klein needed to work today, Benson went to the city library. So, yeah, I gotta go back!" Melissa suddenly realized how much she loved her textbooks, her gear, and her springs.

Selena decides to keep her distance from the unusually strange Melissa. He turned to look at Elizabeth and smiled obediently, "How about we go to Harrods together? Even though I've spent all my savings, it's still good to shop at the window."

"certain." Elizabeth took the advice, then asked casually, "Melissa, does your brother, Klein, have to work on Sundays?"

"Yes, he's taking a break on Monday, different from a regular job." Melissa subconsciously raised her head slightly.

…

After leaving the Blackthorn Security Company, Klein took a public train to Howes Street.

He tried his hardest to suppress his emotions, not to think about the matter of the Antigonus family's treasure. He tries to focus his attention back on acting.

It is important to digest the potion completely as soon as possible! Improving yourself is very important no matter when it is!

Act as a Diviner, heh! I'm not professional enough. The fortune-tellers in the Foodaholic Empire had to go through the almanac the entire time before they reached anything.

He had decided to foresee if it was beneficial for him to travel to the Divination Club today.

It was more suitable for a Diviner!

It's perfect to go to the Divination Club today.

…

Damnit damnit!

Klein flicked the coin up. He did not see the round of the coin, instead calmly extending his hand.

Yoke! Half a pence landed in the middle of his palm.

This time, the number 1⁄2 is facing up.

With the number facing up, it meant that I would face an unfortunate incident at the Divination Club today. He was waiting for a public train heading for Daffodil Road.

He felt more like a fraud.

…

Howes Street, at the entrance of Harrods Department Store.

Selena was just about to enter the building when she suddenly froze and looked to the side.

"Did something happen?" Elizabeth asked, confused.

Selena puffed her cheeks and said, "Elizabeth, I think of my my mystic teacher, Mr. Vincent. He just died, the morning after my birthday…"

"Could it be because I peeked and used his secret spell? I've always felt guilty and agitated because of this. After all, I've been a bit unlucky lately."

"So?" Elizabeth asked slowly.

Selena bit her lip and said, "i want to do a prophecy at the Divination Club there and see if Mr. Vincent's death has anything to do with me."

From what happened at my birthday party.I have a disturbing hunch that Elizabeth is hiding something from me. I remember the back of the man wearing the tuxedo…

"Can't you guess it yourself?" Elisabeth asked in surprise.

Selena sighed, imitating her father.

"Huh, I can't guess it given my current condition."

"Alright, let's go to the Divination Club first." Elizabeth agreed to her friend's advice.

They headed to the side and walked to the Divination Club on the second floor by following the stairs.

"Hello, good day, Miss Angelica. It's good to see you again." Selena gave a big welcome in the reception area.

Angelica smiled and said, "You should be able to find me here as long as you come after lunch."

Selena exchanged pleasantries before lamenting the death of Hanass Vincent, she then said, "I need to do a prophecy."

"You know the club's rules. It's a list of members who want to do it. It's a weekend, so most of our members are here" Angelica explained like clockwork.

Selena and Elizabeth curl up together as they scan a list of names and descriptions together.

"I used to ask my teacher directly. It's unexpected that the club will have more members willing to do the forecast than last year" Selena said.

Suddenly, he paused for a few seconds and said confusedly, "Klein Moretti, Klein Moretti? Isn't this the same name as Melissa's brother?"

Elisabeth froze. He repeatedly looked at the name 'Klein Moretti' and nodded, "That's right …"

"Miss Angelica, is this Mr Klein Moretti?" Selena asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

Angelica shook her head.

"i'm sorry, Mr. Moretti didn't come to the club today."

"All right, we're gonna find somebody else." Selena did not mind not seeing the person, but she laughed at her friend. "I know this isn't Melissa's brother, but after seeing this name, I naturally thought of a newspaper; a decent headline for the Intis Press."

The Intis Press was created by Emperor Roselle, who was famous for his attention-grabbing headlines. It was one of the most famous newspapers in the Northern Continent.

Elizabeth asked indifferently, "What title?"

Selena cleared her throat and said, "Is it moral decay, or a problem with society? History graduates end up doing divination over the weekend to make a living!"
