When Shard left the Princess Manor just now, Margaret sent a letter, so Miss Benanis and Ciris also knew that Shard was coming.
There were already attendants waiting on the first floor to guide Shard to a small dining room on the east side of the fourth floor.
The Golden Dawn Opera Troupe had generously rented the top floor of this four-story inn, and the dining room could be used freely. When Shard entered the room, the troupe members were already seated, and when everyone stood to greet him, Shard hesitated and dared not step further forward:
"There's really no need for such a grand welcome, is there?"
"Shard, over here!"
Miss Benanis beckoned to Shard, wanting him to sit at the head seat, but Shard ended up sitting to the right of the head seat, leaving that position for the Witch of the Earth.
The prepared dinner was then served, and Miss Benanis and Ciris chatted and laughed with Shard, discussing the opera troupe's performance plan in Moon Bay City.
