Venhorst Castle
In Fernando's office, a sigh echoed, but one, another, again, after so much sighing, anger began to emerge, Felicia looked at the stack of documents in front of her as if she was looking at a powerful enemy.
The organization of the territory was important, as a bearer of the medallion, she had to fulfill her responsibilities and leave everything in order.
Felicia never had an open mind for administration, in front of her was a stack of documents that piled up until it reached about half a meter high, she did not understand what the document was portraying, even though it was written in the same language that she was fluent in, she did not understand a single word.
Felicia read one of the documents on the table, the words confused her completely, even Ceto trying to help her she was even more confused, for Felicia dealing with administrative cases, it was like a talented athlete, who was at the top of his country, being placed as a local administrator, without any training there was nothing he could do.
Of course, Felicia was a superior being, to reach this level, the accumulation of knowledge and life experience is undoubtedly surprising, but her knowledge was based on combat arts, elementary knowledge, some geographical and military knowledge, if she were somewhere else, her knowledge would be well used, but in the administrative office, she was lost.
It's been a week since Fernando left on his trip, during this time Felícia did everything she could to get John's medal, but to her disappointment , her nephew was as inflexible as a mountain.
Felicia wanted to earn some money from managing the territory, she wanted to keep the money to a minimum for John and Alex's evolution, but to her sadness, everything was different from her imagination.
First John didn't give her his medal, second she had a lot of work to do, in her mind, she would get John's medal with some tricks, then she would increase the territory's taxes in the same proportion that, she deducted the added percentage, in two years, she would have enough money for at least half of a ritual.
With her plan, Felicia would reduce her costs by at least 30%, she felt defeated and discouraged, just economic terms, the numbers and graphs made her head buzz, she decided to throw in the towel.
There was an agreement between the medal bearers, whoever best handled the administrative affairs of the Venhorst territory would have two medals in their possession and would become the interim lord.
Catarina was the first, she lasted only one day in the office and threw the towel on the floor, surrendering and abandoning the competition, this time it would be Felícia's turn, after 5 days without understanding anything, she also threw the white rubble on the floor symbolizing her surrender.
Felicia looked dejectedly at Ceto who was standing faithfully in the corner of the office and said.
"Keto, I give up
She lowered her head as her words left her mouth, at this point, her hair was disheveled and she had dark circles under her eyes, so she thought it would be John's turn now, she wanted to know how long a child as unyielding as a mountain would last in this office, a smile appeared on her face.
There was still hope for her to carry out her plan, as soon as John threw in the towel, she would tempt John with more benefits, at this point she was looking forward to her stubborn nephew's failure.
"Okay, I'll stay here, now you go work with John.
Ceto nodded, he was happy in his heart, these past few days he had been on edge, no matter how many times he explained to the two women, it was as if he was speaking a different language.
Ceto thought that his young lord would last at most a day just like his mother, without any expression on his face, Ceto spoke.
"As you wish.
Felicia left the office and went to announce her surrender to the other two carriers.

John and Catarina were studying theoretical magic. Over the past week, John tried everything to get his mother's medal. However, no matter what his plans, Catarina didn't give in. Gradually, he began to understand what was happening.
It wasn't that Catarina didn't want to give him the medal, it was that Catarina couldn't, he didn't know why, but he decided not to insist and put Catarina in a dilemma.
John thought of another way to get a second medal, the answer was, Felicia his greedy aunt, Felicia, tried to get her own medal, so how would he get her medal ?
John thought of several possible answers, Felicia was greedy and John had no money to bribe her, she would only listen to John if he was stronger than Felicia, or if John was made of gold or elementary Christians.
John thought of a competition that everyone had a chance of winning, considering that he seemed like just a stubborn child in his aunt's eyes, she most likely underestimated him, so he suggested the following: whoever best managed the territory would be awarded an additional medal.
Catarina and Felicia agreed immediately. Felicia never considered John a competitor . It was logical that anyone with a brain would automatically disqualify John. After all, it doesn't matter if a child is intelligent, because of his age there wasn't much to learn, and his life experience would be even more regrettable.
John and Catarina, the two were having their outdoor class in the castle garden, when a fiery figure wearing red clothes made of leather approached, the figure was an attractive woman with black hair and beautiful features on her face, even with dark circles she was still beautiful, a mischievous smile was engraved on her face.
"Sister-in-law, nephew, are you still studying? On such a beautiful day.
Catarina looked at Felícia and a hint of respect flashed in her eyes, she closed the elementary magic book in her hand, she felt respect for her sister-in-law, she lasted a day and Felícia lasted 4 days longer than her, inside Fernando's office.
"Have you finally given up?
