Due to Shard's invitation to stay overnight, this evening Luviya planned to go to No. 6, Saint Delan Square after work. But Shard, holding Mia, arrived at the Prophet's Society earlier to wait for her.
Almost everyone at the Prophet's Society in Tobesk City knew about Shard and Luviya's relationship. The receptionists in uniform congratulated Shard on winning the city's horsemanship championship while probing about his relationship with Princess Lecia and whether it would affect his relationship with Luviya.
The gossiping of the young ladies was soon interrupted by Vice-President Mark:
"It's not end of shift yet, please focus on work."
He then led Shard to his office to wait temporarily. Checking the time, there were five minutes until the end of the day, and Vice-President Mark poured them both a glass of specially prepared "end-of-day drink" from the liquor cabinet. It was a nice bottle of mildly alcoholic fruit-flavored gin.
