    Spoiler:

    The nun let out a slow breath before she knocked on the door to the grand mansion. She still couldn't believe she'd agreed to this job. The rest of the team were off doing their own missions, and since recent events... Kiersa felt that she had to try and improve herself. They were all far better mages than she was, and at times, the nun felt like she was holding them back, or slowing them down. Which is why she'd selected a bunch of jobs at once from the board back in the Guild hall, to try and do them on her own.

    It wasn't until after she'd agreed to them that she'd paid proper attention to the jobs in question. Her first one was to... pretend to be the love of a Duke as she escorted him from Hargeon to Clovis. When the door opened and the butler looked down at the young girl who'd answered the job, he hurried her inside before frowning somewhat. "How old are you miss?" he asked. "Fifteen sir..." she replied, earning a scowling sigh from the butler. "Well, this won't do... not at all..." he mused before a chiding tsk came from the side. "Stuff and nonsense Wilfred." said a woman wearing a senior maid's uniform. "I'm sure we can make this young lass appear to be a few years older. Now come along deary and lets get you fixed up. The Duke has certain tastes." she said, taking Kiersa by the hand and escorting her through the mansion to a private chamber.

    "Just a touch more here, and a slight adjustment there..." fussed the senior maid as she directed her underlings to the task of adjusting the bemused and flustered nun's appearance. "A-Are we almost d-done?" she asked before finding herself being rapped on the head by a large ruler. "I told you to remain shush didn't I deary? Isabelle, did the waist alter there?" she asked one of the maids who shook her head. "Jessie, the chest?" Another shake of the head was the response. "Good. Alright then... and the final touches..." she instructed, the maid's surrounding Kiersa adjusting the outfit here and there before they scampered to the sides and pulling out a set of surrounding mirrors. "What do you think?" asked the senior maid of Kiersa as she beheld herself.

    Kiersa's new "look:

    "I-is... is th-that... me?" she asked, finding it a little difficult to breathe in the tight corset under the robes. The shoes felt a little strange on her feet, particularly with the strap that seperated her toes from one another. The fact that with every tiny movement of her body, the small bells placed on the attire jingled... made her feel a little bit like a living doll. The senior maid clapped a little. "Excellent. Now then, lets get you introduced to the Duke, and then you can start your job." she said. "W-Wait... umm... wh-what are you going to do with my clothes?" asked the nun as she slowly stepped off the podium that they'd had her up on.

    The maids regarded the religious garb she'd come in before nodding to each other. "We'll put it into a suitcase with you to take. Anything else dear?" she asked, raising an eyebrow as the nun went searching through her effects. Kiersa retrieved the Avalon ring, and her Celestial keys before nodding to them that she was ready. "Then if you'll follow me?" she said before leading the way, the maids already packing her clothes into a small carry-case.

    Kiersa was led to a grand room where the Duke was waiting for her. Remembering the lessons Capricorn gave her, she gave a low curtsey to the noble, and waited for permission to speak. The Duke looked her over and nodded. "You'll suffice. Now come, we have a distressingly long journey ahead of us. What's your name girl?" he asked. "Kiersa Bec sir." the nun replied. The Duke gave a brief nod before he began to walk. "That's your cue deary." said the senior maid softly before Kiersa nodded and quickly followed after him.

    There was a carriage waiting outside for them, which they got into with the help of some of the staff in Kiersa's case. They began to travel in silence until they passed the train station. The nun blinked before looking to the Duke. "Umm... sorry but..." she began to ask, stopping as he held up a hand. "Because I dislike the train. Such a noisy and rude creation. Hardly any privacy, and certainly filled with too many people. No, carriage is the way we travel Miss Bec." he explained, Kiersa slowly nodding. "Alright..." she said as the carriage left Hargeon. An hour passed before the driver thumped the carriage roof. "What the devil is going on?" asked the Duke even as Kiersa looked outside the carriage, frowning. "Stay down sir." she ordered, collecting one of her keys. "Open the Gate of the Goat. Capricorn!"

    The Celestial Goat Spirit appeared inside the carriage alongside Kiersa and looked to her. "Yes milady?" he inquired. Kiersa looked to the butler-esque goatman. "We've got trouble to deal with." she said, Capricorn nodding at her assessment.

    There were a group of bandits heading their way on a Magi-Car, no doubt aiming to try and pull off a literal highway robbery. Kiersa gave a nod to Capricorn. "Take out their car. Our job is to dissuade any bandits from striking the Duke." she informed the Goat Spirit. "As you wish milady." he replied before opening the carriage door on his side and jumping out. He landed on his hooves and immediately took off towards the bandits, who were now realising that not only had someone left their target's transport, but was coming right for them!

    Capricorn ran past them then pulled up alongside them, easily keeping pace with their Magi-Car. "Evening gentlemen. I'm afraid to inform you you'll be needing a mechanic." he said casually, the bandits still shocked at the person running alongside them before they realised what he was going to do, even as he was already starting. The Celestial Goat Spirit let out a swift series of punches that not only blew out the tyres, but also did a fair number on the internal workings of the magically powered machine. The slight side effect of the wheels suddenly blowing out being that the car spun, throwing its passengers out did make the nun wince a little, even as Capricorn rejoined them in the carriage proper.

    "Thank you Mister Capricorn." she said with a bow of her head, which the Spirit seemed to accept. "Mah pleasure milady. I must say, this attire does suit you quite well." he said, making the nun blush once more, the Duke looking on at her before coughing slightly. "You are a Celestial Summoner Miss Bec? And one who holds a Zodiac Key?" Kiersa nodded. "Huh... impressive."

    The rest of the journey continued on without incident till the hour began to grow late. "Find us a suitable establishment to rest at." he said to the driver who nodded and made for the nearest town. "Is... is that wise sir?" asked Kiersa. "Wouldn't it be better if we got to your winter home?" The Duke gave a dismissive wave. "Nonsense. The hour has grown late and the sun is setting on the horizon. We shall rest from the rigours of travel for now and then continue on in the morning." he informed her, the nun biting her lip before sighing and nodding. "As you wish sir." she said quietly, Capricorn taking note of her reactions and remaining silent.

    It took a while to find a suitable inn for the Duke in the small town, but eventually find one they did. Of course, now came the tricky part for Kiersa... fulfilling the role of her disguise... which meant she had to share a room with the Duke. When the hour came for sleep the Duke blinked at the sight of the nun trying to rest on the couch in their room. "You're meant to be escorting me under the guise of my lover." he said as he lay in the bed. The nun blushed a little before she quietly said something that he didn't quite catch. Least until Capricorn repeated the statement for him. "WHAT?!" he bellowed before he sat there in shock before he lay back down in the bed. "Well... he took that rather well I think milady." Capricorn deadpanned, before taking up a guard position as Kiersa and the Duke went to sleep.

    Morning came soon after and Kiersa winced under the Duke's stern gaze. "You slept in it." he finally said after glowering at her for at least thirty minutes. "Sorry sir... I wasn't... sure how to get out and back into this outfit..." she apologised before he gave a scoffing breath and walked off. The nun sighed and held her head in her hands. "Maker... give me the strength to endure this... please..." she prayed quietly before standing up and slipping the shoes back onto her feet. The nun then left the room and went to join the Duke in the cafe for breakfast, the bells on her dress tinkling all the way.

    Breakfast was a quiet affair, with more than a few eyes drawn to their table, making the nun feel very self-conscious about the whole thing. Then there were the whispers, which she couldn't make out the words, but she knew that the rest of the cafe was talking about them... or specifically, her. "How's the food darling?" asked the Duke, catching Kiersa off guard for a moment before she remembered the role she was meant to be playing. "It's quite lovely love, thank you." she said, forcing a smile onto her face as she said the words. They finished up their meal, the Duke paid the innkeeper, and then they got back into the carriage. Once they were under way, the Duke spat out the window, a foul look upon his face. "Disgusting tripe. Barely fit for my dogs." he said. Kiersa closed her eyes and prayed for something, anything to come along and distract her from this torture.

    Capricorn rapped the window beside the nun, who gave a silent thank you to the Maker for this intervention. She looked outside to the Spirit who had till now been running a rear-guard on the carriage. "It would appear the same bandits from yesterday have caught up with us milady. Do you wish for meh to dispatch them once more?" the Celestial Goat Spirit asked of his summoner. Kiersa looked at Capricorn then into the distance where the magi-car with the bandits was at before shaking her head. "No... you get some rest Capricorn. I've been selfish in keep you out in our world for so long." she said, the Goat nodding before the Gate was closed and he returned to the Celestial Realm.

    The Duke spluttered at this development. "Well? What are you going to do? That was your strongest spirit little lady. You're meant to be protecting me, and you sent away your only means of getting to our pursuers." he blustered. The nun shot him a look before pulling out a silver Key. "Open the Gate of the Eagle! Aquila!" she invoked, the exotically dressed Spirit of the Eagle appearing beside them in the carriage. "And what shall be the Lesson today? Although I will be frank, that gown will not do for your dancing. Nor those shoes. The bells are nice though." she said, the Duke growing positively livid at the insulting tirade this strange spirit was eschewing towards his taste in fashion. "We've got company... see if you can ensure their magi-car can't be fixed." asked Kiersa, the dancing Eagle girl looking out the window before she sighed and nodded.

    Aquila stepped out the carriage and immediately her hair unfolded to take on the form of two great wings. The Duke blinked at such a display, even as the Eagle Spirit took off towards the pursuing bandits. "She is the Spirit of the Eagle after all sir." said Kiersa as if that explained everything he was seeing, a little hint of satisfaction creeping into her voice as she had seemingly rendered the Duke speechless. He looked back at her and scowled somewhat. "She may be able to fly, but I don't think-" he said before being interrupted by the sound of an explosion coming from behind them. Kiersa had been watching the whole thing, even when the Duke had rebounded on her. "You were saying?" asked the nun.

    The Eagle Spirit had flown over towards the magi-car and managed to land on its roof. From this distance the Sabertooth mage couldn't tell what the woman had said, or the bandits said to her, but she did witness Aquila using her lightning magic to slam her foot right through the machine, rendering it as nothing but scrap metal, with the bandits out for the count. Aquila soon returned to the carriage, her hair rebinding itself as she entered the lavish transport before she took a proper look at the Duke. "Might I possibly, and highly recommend you stop putting on such a horrendous face? It's making it quite hard for me to resist the urge to teach you a Lesson, little mortal." she said in a matter of fact tone.

    The Duke spluttered at the Eagle Spirit's indifferent attitude towards his vaunted title. "Instruct your Spirit to show me the proper courtesies as dictated by proper society or-" he began to say before Kiersa finally snapped. "Or what?!" she asked, her face flushed with anger towards the man. "All you have done thus far is complain about honest food, make me up like I'm some sort of doll, insult me and my friends, and if I didn't know any better, try to get me into the same bed as you when you believed I was older than I am." said the nun, Aquila silently watching the exchange. "I have been polite, I have been demure, I have gone along with whatever you said in pretending to be your lover throughout this journey, but try to threaten me again, or my friends, and I swear that you will regret it." growled Kiersa before she blinked and realised exactly what she had just said.

    The Duke was similarly stunned, with only the Spirit of the Eagle smirking in the carriage, although the driver outside was doing his damnedest to suppress his chuckles. Aquila reached over and ruffled Kiersa's hair a little. "Well done girl. Seems you're finally developing that spine after all." The nun's face went red from the sheer embarrassment of the situation. "Not helping Aquila..." she said quietly. The exotic looking Spirit simply smirked before looking at the Duke and proceeding to wave a hand in front of his face. "I think you stunned him so much that he's gone comatose." said Aquila, earning a sigh from the nun.

    The trip went on in silence for another hour before the Duke gave a slight cough. "I... do not do this often young lady... Miss Bec." he began, Kiersa and Aquila looking at the Duke. "I... apologise for the troubles I've put you through. I forget, that you are much younger than myself... and unaccustomed to this lifestyle." he said, gesturing to the carriage in general. "I myself am... unaccustomed to dealing with... young women such as yourself... or companions as you keep." he said with a pointed look to Aquila.

    The Eagle Spirit looked unperturbed by this admission and simply shrugged. Kiersa on the other hand bowed her head. "I'm sorry I... exploded on you like that sir." the nun apologised as well, the carriage falling silent as they continued on their way. It remained silent for another hour before the Duke spoke. "So... your friend is... your dancing instructor?" he asked, looking at Aquila. Aquila held up a hand before Kiersa could speak. "I am yes. I instruct her in the ancient ritual dances of the distant eastern past, which serve to heighten not only her own physical flexibility and strength, but also improve her bodies natural mana flow." the Celestial Eagle Spirit said before looking at the nun in her attire for a moment. "I will say though that the corset may become an addition to our Lessons in the future. Working on improving lung capacity and breathing control." said the robed brunette, causing the blonde nun to blush furiously.

    "Eastern dancing techniques can do such a thing?" the Duke asked, an eyebrow raised at the suggestion. Aquila gave a firm nod. "Of course. All dances can to an extent perform such, but the eastern techniques, both middle and far, have a much more meaningful impact than anything in the western or central lands." the Eagle Spirit declared as if it was a matter of fact. "The western styles emphasise the poise and grace of the feminine form, whilst making it subservient and pretty for the male counterpart. There are no solo forms in the west." she said, resting one leg over the other, the carriage continuing on its trek. "It's as if the western styles are afraid to let either gender go solo." she remarked.

    "However," she said as she looked the Duke square in the eye, "no doubt when you hear the term eastern dance, you have images in your head of slave-girls gyrating around for their masters in various harems do you not?" Aquila asked, her tone not even brokering the question as being anything but rhetorical. The Duke's face had the good grace to match that of the nun's in their hues of crimson flush. The Celestial Spirit of the Eagle constellation simply smirked.

    "Of course. They are a descendent of the style I am teaching to my young summoner student here. A far more diluted and base form is what you are envisioning." said Aquila, a note of disdain in her voice. "Whilst the current style is quite excellent for ensuring physical fitness, flexibility and stamina, it does nothing for mana efficiency, nor does it carry the same pride." the Spirit said, letting the words sink in to their minds and ears.

    The conversation was about to continue if it were not for the sound of a magi-car pulling up towards them. Kiersa glanced out the window and groaned. "They just will not give up..." she sighed, before glancing at Aquila. "Apologies, I must return to the Celestial Realm to rest." the Celestial Eagle Spirit said with a bow of her head as she dispersed into light. The nun from Sabertooth bowed her head to the Spirit before sighing and standing up as best she could in the carriage.

    The Duke looked at her in concern. "What are you doing?" he asked of the nun who was taking up an L-Shaped stance. "I thought Celestial Summoners-" the Duke began. "I'm not just a Summoner my lord." interrupted Kiersa as the magi-car came up beside them. "Stigmata of Longinus!" she invoked, a lance of holy magic searing forth from her palms and striking the bandits vehicle, causing it to fall back a little. The Duke looked at her chest in alarm at the red splash underneath the dress. "You were hit! Oh my..." he said before he fainted into his seat.

    Kiersa looked at the Duke for a moment and sighed before she looked out the windows to check on their pursuers. "Maker give me strength..." she grumbled as the enemy was still in pursuit of their carriage. The nun looked back at her charge and then back at the dress she'd been loaned. "Probably should have told him about that..." the holy magic wielding mage mused.

    Kiersa bit her lip as she watched the bandit's magi-car pull ever back closer to their carriage, trying to think about what she could possibly accomplish. She was out of ranged spells, Longinus needed time to restore itself before it could be fired again, and she wanted to give Capricorn a little more time to rest. "What would Aayla do..." the nun asked herself aloud before closing her eyes and chuckling softly. "Of course..." she said before her eyes snapped open.

    "Stigmata of Flight!" she invoked, the divine wings bleeding out from her back before she took off into the sky through the carriage window. She looked down upon the enemy magi-car as its passengers blinked up at her. "Maker's Sight." Kiersa invoked softly, feeling the holy energy begin to fill her eyes. She quickly flew down and "landed" on their car's hood, looking for all the world as if she were kneeling there. "Hello, I'm sorry but I can't let you rob or harm this man." she apologised, looking at the bandits unblinkingly. The sight of this golden winged girl, staring back at them with glowing radiant eyes made the driver fumble with the wheel, causing the magi-car to skid around before it started to turn over.

    Kiersa took this opportunity to fly back into the carriage, her wings dispersing as she returned. The Duke slowly came back around and held his head. "Oh my... did... did I faint again?" he asked a bit groggily before looking towards the young nun. "I'm afraid so my lord... I apologise, I should have mentioned the blood factor involved with my magic." she said before spotting that he'd fainted once more. She frowned before looking in the window glass and blushing in embaressment. She'd forgotten to turn off the glowing eyes!

    The young nun sighed as the Maker's Sight wore off, letting her see the world once more through her mortal eyes. Whilst the duke was out cold again, she turned her attention to the world outside the carriage window, her hands rubbing against the fine silk of her borrowed dress. The blonde girl recalled the first... and probably last time she met a fellow Sabertooth wizard named Eli Validus. He'd taught her how to play cards, and made comments about her being a woman of nobility. She chuckled a little as she looked down at herself. "Wonder what he'd say if he saw me right at this moment?" Kiersa wondered aloud.

    She looked back out the window at the passing scenery and the small farming communities in the distance, and how far the distance of wealth was compared to her current situation. And yet, there were cases where those with less wealth, seemed and appeared to be far better off emotionally than those with far more wealth. It seemed to be quite the paradox. People felt the desire and need to acquire more wealth, for reasons of security, shelter, food, and pleasing loved ones... and yet, when they acquire that wealth... Kiersa looked back at the unconscious duke. "They seem to be shackled by it..." the young nun said with a sigh.

    The situation between those with, and those without, was always a twisted and convuluted one. And yet, it was her duty and task as both a mage and member of the faith, to acquire jewels... although in her case she gave it out to charities almost as quickly as she obtained it. A fact that her friend Aayla was always swift to reprimand her about.

    Thinking of the Water Dragon Slayer, the young nun looked at her beautiful dress once more and blushed at the thought of how the blue haired girl would react upon seeing her in it. There would probably be several bouts of teasing, followed by a few sessions of poking... particularly at the bells attached to the dress.

    Then her brother would no doubt poke his nose into the conversation. The young nun groaned as her face became even more crimson. He would take it even further with the teasing and poking... and would no doubt find some way of bringing up the topic of that modelling job she did a while back. Or act like a moron and do the whole "My Lady" gig till it wasn't remotely funny anymore.

    And Mary... if her fellow sister saw her like this... Kiersa shook her head a little. The pink haired girl would probably say that it suited the blonde nun and that she deserved it for all her hard work... The young girl sighed, running a hand through her hair as she thought back to the last few letters she'd gotten from Mary. Things seemed to be going alright for her with the Rune Knights... seemed that she was enjoying herself... but the blonde nun couldn't help but shake the feeling that there was something she wasn't quite saying in the letters.

    Kiersa bit her lower lip and sighed, shaking her head. Mary did always enjoy springing surprises on her at the most inopportune times. Whatever it was she wasn't saying in the letters was probably some grand diabolical scheme of hers.

    There came a chapping from the roof of the carriage. "That's us almost there now milord and lady." came the driver's voice. Kiersa nodded, then recalled the driver couldn't see them inside the carriage. "Thank you." she called back to him, before looking back to the unconscious Duke and sighing whilst running a hand down her face. "Now to just... wake him up somehow before we get there..." the blonde nun mused to herself before reaching over and softly shaking his shoulder. "Sir? Sir..." the nun said softly, still shaking him.

    He slowly began to come back around, his eyes blinking as his mind reasserted a connection to the waking world. "Wh-Where..." he slowly began to ask. Kiersa smiled softly at him. "The driver's said we're almost at your residence. Thought it would be best to have you awake for when we arrived my lord." the young blonde nun said before lowering her eyes. "I apologise for earlier sir, and for any discomfort or disquiet I have caused you on this trip." she said, the Duke waving a hand dismissively at her apology. "Think nought of it. You were merely doing your duty to protect me my dear, and as well you should. If I may say so, I foresee you having a very bright future as a mage." the duke said, causing Kiersa to blush furiously.

    The carriage began to slow, and then stopped to a halt. The driver got off and a servant appeared to open the doors for both Kiersa and the Duke. "Welcome my dear, to my humble abode. Just a small little place I own here in Clover Town." he remarked, the blonde nun's eyes boggling at the sight of it. "This... is small my lord?" she asked, looking at the 16 bedroom mansion standing before her. "But of course. It's only about two hectares of land after all." the Duke said as if this was obvious.

    The Duke offered the staggered blonde nun his hand, and it took her a moment to recall her cover for this particular job. She quickly curtsied before accepting his hand into her own, and allowing him to escort her towards his "humble" abode. "You live here alone my lord?" the young girl asked the Duke as they slowly entered the main foyer. The foyer alone was far larger than she had expected, even after seeing the exterior of the mansion. It looked almost big enough to hold thirty people comfortably in it, just on the floor alone. Never mind the twin winding staircases leading to the floors above, or the crystal clear water fountain in the centre of the mosaic tiled floor.

    "I do my dear, aside from the skeleton crew of servants that reside here on a permanent basis down stairs." replied the Duke, the blonde nun still slightly gawking at all the trappings and trimmings of the finery around her, and the sheer scale of what this man considered to be humble. If this is what he considers to be a humble abode, the Sabertooth magus thought to herself, what could he possibly think is extravagant?

    She gave her head a slight shake. On second thoughts, it's probably better to not know what he considers to be extravagant... don't think my blood pressure could take it. thought Kiersa as they continued to walk through the lavish mansion, the bells on her dress chiming away softly as they walked... the damnable things and their rhythm as they walked putting her in a brief mental moment of the idea of someone walking their pet...

    The walk continued for at least another hour, with the Duke apparently giving the blonde nun from Sabertooth the grand tour as it were. As they walked, he described how long this "quaint" little getaway home had been in his family for the last five generations. It felt strange to have the staff all bowing and curtseying as she walked past them, and she noted the slight scowl that crossed the Duke's face each time she bowed her head back at them. Eventually they came to his study room.

    As he sat down behind his desk, the blonde nun took a seat nearby after he gestured for her to do so. "Miss Bec. I must commend you on accomplishing the task you were hired to perform, even if there were moments of..." the Duke trailed off before signing a sheet of paper and sliding it over the table. The manservant in the room collected the sheet and passed it to the Celestial mage. "Your payment. Hand that in to the bank here in Clover Town, and you'll receive your reward." he said, before nodding at her, or rather, her attire. "And you may keep the dress should you so choose as a token of gratitude. I dare say you've earned it after spilling blood to keep my person safe."

    Kiersa blinked at the offer and gave a thankful bow of her head. "I have no words sir. Your offer is quite generous. Of course I'll accept." the young blonde nun said with another bow of her head. The Duke nodded before gesturing to the servant. "Frederick will see you to a room where you can get changed and wash up. I'm certain you have other matters to attend to." the Duke said, Kiersa taking the cue to stand and curtsey.

    Frederick led the blonde nun from the Duke's study to a room a few doors down the corridor. The servant opened the door for her, and inside was in simple descriptions, a changing room... the size of a master bedroom. In the centre was a plinth for her to no doubt stand on and admire herself in the mirrors ringing the platform, should she so choose. On the one side of the room was a series of far east style panels for changing behind, with a bar row above it. Kiersa felt her corset quite keenly now as she recalled having to hold onto something similar when it was being applied to her back in Hargeon town at the start of this trip.

    He closed the door behind her, and as the wood clicked shut, a grouping of maids appeared and immediately began to usher her towards the changing boards. The blonde nun managed to get out a small eep before she was systematically stripped naked and then re-clothed in her original religious attire... although it felt weird for some reason. The head maid noticed her look of confusion. "We put your clothing through a rigorous set of washes and treatments before then having a tailor duplicate it with a much finer cloth. Can't very well have you leaving here looking like a beggar now can we?" she remarked, leaving Kiersa speechless before she was handed a pair of suitcases, one with the copy... or original of her robes, she wasn't entirely sure which was which at this point, and the other held the dress she'd been wearing earlier.

    The young blonde nun was escorted back towards the main hall of the mansion, thanking the Maker that the suitcases had wheels attached to them. As she stood in front of the door, she turned to the servants and gave a curtsey. "Thank you for making me feel welcome, and thank you for all you've done for me." she said to them, the staff bowing and curtseying in reply.

    She turned and left the mansion, and began to make her way towards Clover Town proper, enjoying the peace and quiet of the moment. It occured to her that Clover Town was the home to the Blue Pegasus guild... she wasn't entirely sure how guild politics were handled when it came to undertaking jobs in another guilds "territory".

    She stopped briefly to rub her thigh where her Guild Mark was placed, once again thinking to herself that perhaps she should have put it somewhere a little more... easily visible. But then she recalled how her habit had been altered to hold the mark along its length, as well as how Avalon seemed to incorporate the Sabertooth mark on its tabard and let out a comforted sigh.

    The latter was still curious to her, but she simply chalked it up to being one of the Maker's great mysteries. She walked down the town's streets till she came across the bank, and handed over the slip of paper to the teller who simply nodded and handed over the jewels which the nun put into her suitcase.

    Another job done.
