Chapter 1473: Joined the Dawn Society in 1472

Tan Rou and Samiyi lay on the bed resting, not having bathed or crawled under the covers to sleep, but simply lying on the blankets for a few hours.

At daybreak, noises began outside, waking Tan Rou. She stretched lazily, then reached out to wake Samiyi.

“It’s time, we should go,” Tan Rou said.

Samiyi rubbed her eyes and slapped her face a few times before suggesting, “Let’s go down and find Gand first.”

Tan Rou couldn’t stop Samiyi, so she had no choice but to accompany her to look for Gand. Just as they were about to leave, Tan Rou suddenly noticed two sets of clean women’s clothing on a rack by the door. The door was already locked, and there was no sign that it had been unlocked, so the clothes must have been arranged before they entered.

The Dawn Society members were indeed thorough, but it was futile. Tan Rou wasn’t a citizen of J country; she could never join the Dawn Society.

...

However, she agreed with the Dawn Society’s philosophy that the rule of the nobility wasn’t suitable for the development of a country. Only by involving every citizen in the nation-building, could a country develop sustainably.

She wasn’t sure whether Samiyi had considered this. Perhaps she hadn’t, as Samiyi was nobility herself, even a leader among them. How could she possibly do something that would harm her own interests?

“Rou, what are you daydreaming about?” Seeing Tan Rou staring at the clothes on the rack, Samiyi thought Tan Rou liked the clothing style, so she said, “Oh, you like these clothes? When we return, I’ll have the tailor make you a few sets.”

Tan Rou certainly didn’t like the traditional attire of J citizens. To protect from the sun, their clothing was large and thick, and since J country was extremely hot, it created a difficult situation: either get sunburnt or die of heat. Tan Rou chose neither; she would stick to wearing her own clothes.

“We can talk about this matter later,” Tan Rou didn’t outright refuse Samiyi’s kindness. “Let’s go find Gand first. Aren’t you supposed to join the Dawn Society? Then let’s hurry and join, and return to the palace as quickly as possible, or we’ll miss treating His Majesty the King.”

As soon as she heard mention of the King, Samiyi’s attitude changed immediately, “Right, the treatment for my brother must not be interrupted. Let’s hurry down to find Gand. I hope the process to join the Dawn Society isn’t too troublesome and doesn’t delay us too much.”

As it turned out, even a rebel organization wasn’t easy to join. They didn’t accept just anyone. Before joining the Dawn Society, Samiyi had to undergo their evaluation.

The Dawn Society had an interesting method of evaluating newcomers: they selected new members through an examination, lasting one hour, during which Samiyi had to answer twenty questions.

Samiyi was stunned; since graduating from college, she hadn’t taken any exam, and even as a king, she wasn’t required to take exams. Yet she needed to take one to join a mere organization, which was really fascinating.

Tan Rou was quite good at exams, but alas, since she wasn’t joining the Dawn Society, she couldn’t provide Samiyi with answers.

After seeing the questions, Samiyi only felt annoyed because, although the Dawn Society’s questions weren’t very difficult, they were extremely tedious, covering astronomy, geography, mathematical logic, and current political events… If she was to write seriously, Samiyi could manage to finish, but the idea of sitting there for an hour was unbearable. She was eager to return to the palace to attend to her duties.

Could their identities have been discovered? They weren’t using a test paper just to probe her, were they? Samiyi wondered.

No matter what, she couldn’t finish writing. Rather than writing nonsense, if she couldn’t pass their test, Samiyi would think of another way, maybe even spending more money to hire mercenaries.

Half an hour later, Samiyi turned in her exam paper, saying, “I can’t write this, your exam is too difficult. If you don’t want me to join the Dawn Society, you could have just told me directly. There’s no need to disgust me like this.”

Gand looked at the messy exam paper and a smile appeared on his face, “Congratulations, my child. You’ve passed our entrance test. From now on, you are a member of the Dawn Society.”

“What?” Samiyi was confused. “Why did I pass the test?”
