Stories

Wide-brimmed Hat

The hat has an exceptionally wide brim, even among the various hats on the gentlemen's heads in Paris. The wide brim is not only useful for covering her eyes to create a dangerous yet attractive atmosphere, but it also helps her to get away and blend into crowd when her lies are exposed.

"Everlasting Radiance"

A splendidly designed necklace, with the centerpiece gem being especially captivating. She has seen countless dazzling lies, but clearly chosen to reward herself with something authentic while strolling about the familiar old city.

Serpent Fencing Gloves

A professional set of fencing gloves, offering durability and the perfect balance of softness and firmness.

The gloves feature the image of the interviewee's favorite animal, evoking memories of her time in the East. No wonder her unorthodox technique bears the hallmarks of many different regional fencing techniques.

Revolver M1917

A revolver wand modified by arcanum technology. It's seldom pulled out, yet it is kept at its best. It is loaded with a special kind of gunpowder designed and mixed by herself. She can turn it into diamond bullets through arcane skill and fire them into her enemy's chest.

Luxury Shawl

A silk mantle of excellent quality that matches the tastefully designed kurta perfectly. Tennant can easily dress herself up as a member of the local gentry, a skill that can be traced to the days when she ambled along the streets of the city.

Azure and Pristine

A simple headband, ideal for sporting events. A "gentleperson" must always maintain their image. The interviewee emphasized that, beyond its practical use in fastening her long hair during duels, this headband also plays an important role in allowing her to bow elegantly to the ladies upon achieving victory.

Viper-shaped Accessories

A cheap accessory bought in New Delhi. Somehow she has kept it till this day. Anyway, it is quite a nice touch on the hat.

"The Crawler"

A silver bangle in a winding design that rests upon the wrist. Tennant found it in a small shop in Delhi and succeeded in slashing the asking price to a tenth of what it was in less than twenty minutes. This was a relaxing diversion. In fact, she did not consider the red glass on it to be a flaw.

"Glitterlight"

A rapier used in fiery duels. This ancient arcanist sport imposes few restrictions on weapons, instead challenging players to navigate the delicate balance between beauty and fragility.

The interviewee made this rapier with her own hands, using carefully selected materials and expert craftsmanship. It reflects her confidence, making a bold statement while showcasing her mastery in balancing risk and reward.

Some News in 1937

"... An official in British India, Sir Laurence Tennant has gone missing recently. The High Commissioner of the colony has ordered a thorough search of the whole territory of India."

"... Sir Laurence Tennant is a member of the House of Tennant, a famous arcanist family. Before he went missing, he was in charge of diamond mining, identification and transportation in British India for many years."

"... Buckingham Palace has announced the suspension of Laurence Tennant's title and other prerogatives since he is suspected of an arcanum-related crime, theft, fraud and is facing six other charges."

"... The government of British India has officially issued a wanted notice for the senior official, mineralogist, arcanist Laurence Tennant, with a reward of £30,000. This is the largest reward in recent years."

Some News in 1938

"... Laurence Tennant stands accused of an arcanum-related crime, in which he may have turned a batch of diamonds into charcoal on their way to Britain through his arcane skill. The colonial government is still in search of Laurence Tennant and trying to locate the whereabouts of the diamonds and therefore cannot take legal action against the suspect at the moment."

"... A teenage girl named Ada Tennant has gone missing from her home in British India. The British Indian Army and the local police have launched an investigation."

"... According to the investigation, Ada Tennant is the only daughter of Laurence Tennant, the arcanist mineralogist responsible for the appalling theft of diamonds. The girl was under the colonial government's long-term surveillance during the investigation on her father's case."

"... Recently, the Paris police have received a report on an arcanum-related theft. A batch of diamonds bought by a jewelry merchant has been stolen and replaced by charcoal through arcane skill."

The Parisian "Artist"

Pandora Wilson: What's the difference between Britain, India and France to you?

Tennant: Nothing different, my beautiful lady.

Pandora Wilson: What do you mean?

Tennant: For me, humans are all the same, no matter where they are from.

Tennant: We share the same virtues and the same weaknesses, and we can't do anything about it. They are part of human nature.

Pandora Wilson: In that case, isn't it a bit unfair to treat your "clients" with lies?

Tennant: Well, it is essentially an art, and I'm the artist, my lady. My clients were impressed by my performance and thus left a small fortune that meant nothing to them.

Tennant: They've always been so cooperative that I think they really appreciated my arts.
