After many arguments with his so-called 'Uncle' and his aunt, Harley finally agreed with them- Give the leather straps to James while the uncle and aunt would take the swords to a master swordsmith to change the silk straps and also, the guard for the guard was worn out.
"Well.. um... Since I failed to give your birthday gift, I give these to you (gives the straps to James). And also, forgive me because I forgot your birthday." Said Harley.
"Getting a friendly talk with you is already a gift for me! Also, thanks for the straps. I will treasure them." Said James in happy tone.
" Straps are meant to be worn out, not to be treasured, you fool!" Said Poppy as everyone laughed.
After eating breakfast, Harley went with Poppy to the school he would be enrolled. The name of the school was the Evergreen High School, one of the 5 Celestial Institutions that Poppy mentioned.
The school was huge, covering about 6 acres of land, being around 3 to 4 storey high. It also had rows of neatly cut bushes, starting from one huge gate to the middle of the way which connected the huge gate with the reception.
The grounds were also huge, each covering as a small sized football ground. The school was also beautiful, white coloured walls with a touch of green hue and the windows were also medium sized, about the length of 3 feet and few inches and its breadth was also 2 feet and 4 inches.
However, when they entered the premises of the school, one of the guards stationed there saluted to them, particularly Poppy since she was a renowned person.
Many children who were playing in one of the grounds near to the gate saw her, ignoring a boy who was holding hands with her and shouted,"It's the one of the higher-ups of the nation, Mrs. Poppy Lunaria!"
Hearing this, many teenagers rushed to see if they were shouting the truth. But when they saw her, they were shocked. One of the teenagers, a girl went towards Poppy, saying,"I'm your big fan, Mrs. Poppy! Can I get your autograph please! (Shows her handkerchief)"
"Well okay, but aren't you the daughter of... Um.. Mr. Friedrik Thorne and Mrs. Rosé Thorne? If you are the daughter of higher-ups like Me and their blood flows across your blox vessels, why do you need my autograph!! Not to hurt your feelings, okay." Said Poppy, giving a faint smile and gave her the autograph.
"No, means... Mm.. thank you miss!" Said the girl, her bright crimson eyes flowing in admiration as she tucked her white hair on her right ear and left happily.
"Who is she, aunt? And how does she know about you?" Said Harley in confusion after seeing the girl.
"Well, well, well she is my friend Friedrik's third daughter and fifth child, Mrs. Cassie Thorne. That's why she is aware of me. Even if her parents would not be friends, se my status, so high that even our people can recognise me! That's why she knows me." Said Poppy, tightening her grip on Harley's hand.
Seeing Poppy giving her signature to someone, everyone watching rushed to her, shouting, "Ma'am please give me your autograph, I'm your greatest fan."
Due to the commotion, the teachers went there, cleared the path for the two and apologised to Poppy and Harley.
