Chapter 280: Revenge
In the northern suburbs of Tivian, outside the east gate of the King's Campus of Royal Holy Crown University, Green Shade Town.
In the morning in Green Shade Town, a cool breeze blew, and it seemed that autumn had already arrived. The weather in Tivian had turned cooler, and leaves on both sides of the road were falling. The earth was shrouded in the gloomy sky, showing a hint of pressure and loneliness.
Inside a well-decorated coffee shop in Green Shade Town, there were groups of university students gathered here. They had no classes at the moment and were sitting in various seats, either sipping coffee or concentrating on reviewing. Some students were reading newspapers while enthusiastically discussing something with the classmates around them.
On the second floor of the cafe, in a box near the window, Dorothy and Nephthys were sitting opposite each other. On the table between them were a pile of papers, pens, books, and some envelopes and newspapers.
In the box, Nephnis was flipping through some books and studying hard. She closed her eyes and scratched her head while reading. Opposite her, Dorothy was sipping coffee and reading a letter.
"Ah~" Looking at the book in front of her, Nephnis laughed loudly and blinked her eyes with a hint of sleepiness. After looking around boredly, she glanced at Dorothy who was sitting opposite her with her legs crossed and reading a letter.
"Ah... I was planning to finish my exams and play for a few days before slowly reading Miss Dorothea's stories. I didn't expect it to start today... And Miss Dorothea is supervising it herself."
Nevonis thought this in her mind as she stole glances at Dorothy like a student stealing glances at her teacher. After Adele's performance last night, Nevonis said it was so good and exciting that she eagerly began to discuss the various programs of the performance with Dorothy.
However, during the performance last night, Dorothy's mind was basically focused on investigating the case. Although the real person was sitting next to her, she didn't watch the show at all. On the way back, in order to make Nephnis a little quieter, he directly asked her to come to him to read a book this morning.
Just like that, Nefernis, who was originally planning to take a few days off before looking at the legend, had her slacking plan interrupted by Dorothy, and was forced to study hard in front of Dorothy.
Sitting in front of Nefernis, Dorothy was reading a letter. This letter was from none other than Gregor, who had sent it from Egwent.
Dorothy looked at the letter in her hand. Most of the content on it was claiming that he was doing well and asking about Dorothy's situation. Since leaving Eaglewind, Greg would write such a letter to Dorothy every month, and Dorothy would also write back to let her know that she was safe.
This monthly letter is written, on the one hand to confirm the situation of relatives living abroad, and on the other hand for a more practical reason, which is to send living expenses.
After reading the letter in her hand, Dorothy picked up the opened envelope beside her and poured out the dozen or so small-denomination bills inside into her hand. Without counting them, Dorothy could tell at a glance that there was a total of three pounds in cash, which was all the living expenses that Greg gave Dorothy for one month.
"Ahh... here we go again, the change every month..."
Looking at the cash in the envelope, Dorothy thought that for a normal 13-year-old female student studying away from home, these three pounds were already a very generous living expense. However, for Dorothy, this amount of money was not enough to pay the rent for the small villa she rented for herself every month.
Because Greg was afraid that Dorothy might be targeted when she went to exchange large-denomination paper and pens, he exchanged the money into many small-denomination banknotes in advance and sent them to Dorothy. Therefore, the little money Gregor sent every month became Dorothy's change supplement, which made it convenient for Dorothy to make change a few times, so it was of some use after all.
In fact, considering Gregor's income, it is understandable that he wants to give Dorothy a little more living expenses every month. However, his idea is that Dorothy is still young and no one is taking care of her at Tivian. Giving her too much living expenses might make Dorothy develop the bad habit of wasting money. He deliberately gives her less in order to make Dorothy develop the habit of thriftiness.
In Greg's opinion, children don't need "big money".
In fact, in Dorothy's eyes, all of Greg's savings might be just a small amount of money.
'It's ironic that my income is usually a few hundred or a thousand pounds, but my only stable income is the three pounds my brother gives me for living expenses every month? But it's okay... it's better to have something than nothing. With my brother sending me money every month, I don't have to look for change.'
Dorothy thought so, and then she turned her eyes back to the letter in her hand. The content of the letter was different from the previous ones. This time, Greg's letter revealed that he had begun to prepare to go to Tivian, and it was estimated that he would leave soon. Next time, they could meet directly in Tivian instead of communicating through letters.
"Greg is coming... It seems that he has almost dealt with the matter over there. I wonder if the last time we met in the dream had any effect on him."
Dorothy thought so, and Nephnesse opposite her was also curiously glancing at Dorothy who was reading the letter, guessing what was in the letter in Dorothy's hand.
"Is this... Miss Dorothea contacting other members of the Rosicrucian? There is some money in the letter. It doesn't seem like such a small amount of money is going to be used if it is sent to Miss Dorothea. Does this money have any mystical meaning? Or is it some extraordinary item in the shape of a banknote?"
Nefernis thought so in her heart, and Dorothy seemed to notice Nefernis's gaze and looked up at her, then spoke.
"Why are you looking at me? Is there something written on your face?"
"Ah, no, I just felt a little tired of reading, so I just looked around and took a break." Hearing Dorothy's words, Nephnis hurriedly said with a laugh. After hearing her words, Dorothy took out her pocket watch and took a look at it, then nodded in answer.
"Well...it has been a while indeed. Regardless of whether it is a leukemia or not, reading for a long time is not good for the eyes. Let's take a break first."
"Phew...thank you Miss Dorothea."
Listening to Dorothy's words, Nephnesse heaved a long sigh of relief. After putting the scroll on the table, she lay down on the sofa behind her. After relaxing for a while, she began to eat the desserts and drinks that had been prepared on the table. She also began to look through the fashion magazines and newspapers that were originally in the box. She immediately relaxed from her tense study state, as if the teacher had really announced the end of get out of class.
Looking at this scene, Dorothy couldn't help but feel ashamed.
