Chapter 18
The woman turned her back and walked slowly
Her footsteps were silent
Soon after, she stopped in front of a here a large painting hung, depicting a round blue ht sky
Below the moon, the woman stood with half of her face shrouded by a deep shadow
Beneath that shadoas she s or not?
“Will I invite that person? Or shall I call that person for you?”
Rosetta slowly rose fro the same path that the woman had stepped over
One step, two steps
By the time the distance between them was narrowed after a few quiet steps, the face that was hidden by the shadoas dimly revealed
“But it seems like she’s already here…”
The woman smiled
“Madam,” Rosetta said
Under the shadow, the woman continued to sh she was delighted, she shook her head lightly
“I don’t knohat you’re talking about”
What do you
For a ht, the woman hid beneath the shadows once more
She hid, while Rosetta was out in the open
This was the kind of situation that the other person favored, but Rosetta didn’t do anything to counter it
In the first place, her purpose was to pique Madam Blanca’s interest
“No? You really don’t?”
Rosetta shrugged and returned to the sofa, plopping back down
From that expression earlier, it seeoal
A first impression was more impactful if it’s restrained
The sofa she sat on was so soft She leaned back, then spoke as though she was hu
“Then it’s fine”
Without even looking, Rosetta knew that the wo
Madam Blanca
She was a character with an important role in the novel
She was the wonder of the E she couldn’t handle as long as she was given the appropriate price for the request
She could get any information or any object in the world
She even did other kinds of secretive services
In the novel, Leo also often visited her
That lunatic h the right way
Blanca in the novel gave Leo special attention Even if he paid the saet were at 1, but Leo would get 12
The reason was si person
…Rosetta wondered what crazy reason it was, but it was an undeniable truth regardless
Madam Blanca
She was a wo’ quite a bit
No one knehy she began to think like this She would just say, ‘After collecting interesting things, I started receiving a littleious hotel’
It was her life story, soh she had already becoerous work
Because the life of an ordinary hotel oasn’t at all exciting for her
What she wanted wasn’tlife
Rosetta didn’t kno Leo drew Blanca’s attention in the original, but that’s besides the point
There were no cons to attracting her interest
Rosetta planned to buy one or two things fro to be treated specially, she’d rather be treated positively rather than negatively
“What can I do for you?” the woman asked “Shall I invite her or shall I call her?”
While Rosetta was leisurely leaning back on the sofa, the question returned once more
It was quite a funny situation
It felt like she was inside a theatre play
All the people knew everything about each other, but they onlyto the script
If so, then Rosetta would have to be true to her role
“Call her”
The moment she said this, Blanca—or the ee fraan to be pushed back like it was a door
Suddenly, a shooting star appeared on the painting as it was pushed back
It was the sanboard outside
“Please wait a moment”
The woman disappeared behind the wall
Rosetta looked into the here she left, but she couldn’t see anything amiss
‘He should be inside by now’
She suddenly remembered Cassion, who had been covered by black cloth
It’s been a while since she entered this rooe had already been moved to his room by now
‘He probably hasn’t woken up yet’
She wished he would stay calround earlier—while he was at the brink of death—he agreed to keep his proe his ht think that he had been dragged back home
And if he woke up here and showed his red eyes, that would spell trouble
Rosetta decided to go straight to Cassion’s roo to Blanca
“I can’t sleep”
Somehow, after she entered Rosetta’s body, it felt like there were several ti
