“…Ha… ahaha”

Like a balloon losing air, laughter poured out of the woloves twirled a tobacco pipe around slightly, and soon, long smoke drew a circle in the air to the round of the Larrington Hotel, Blanca, as splayed over a white chair, couldn’t suppress the ecstaticwithin her

It’s been a while since it felt like blood was rushi+ng to her head

People like this sometimes appeared in her life, one after another

Someone who’d spark her interest

‘…But it seems like you’re already here… Mada? It’s a shame that Blanca couldn’t ask that

If she asked the question, it would be just like showing her cards to her opponent

And because she couldn’t ask, it only

“Mada out an ashtray next to Blanca

It was rare for his ood

“I’m not happy I’ her wide smile

Her lips, which were curved upward like a crescent moon as she bit the tobacco pipe, expressed her joy, just as one of her feet wasto a nonexistent beat of music

“You must have enjoyed your conversation with the Ducal Princess”

Her black shoes, which were bobbing in the air, suddenly halted

Blanca, with the pipe still in her lips, shi+fted her gaze to the man

Their eyes met

For a moment, the man chewed the inside of his mouth as chills rose up his spine

‘Ah I ht, this—

Huuu

Blanca blew shing at the unexpected puff of shed into his arm and covered his eyes, then sed down his breath as heat touched his lips

When he lifted his head, the hot tobacco pipe was right in front of his lips

If he moved even a millimeter, his lips would definitelythe man’s stiff expression, slowly reached out

“Watch what you say, Logan I told you not to let the client’s identity sweep through your lips Don’t be foolish—I don’t like foolish people”

Her laughter was cynical

Logan bowed his head without trying to coize, Madaood mood today But watch yourself froo twice

Blanca’s sing-song tone reverberated throughout the rooan brought her

Then, she turned to Logan again with an indifferent face, her words containing none of her delight from earlier

“Rather than that, tirow up really fast”

Logan couldn’t understand what shedown

She didn’t expect him to react in the first place, so Blanca sih she was enjoying a siet to work

As she sat at her desk, Logan soon headed to his own seat

“What of the client’s requested iteht it to the client She paid for it using a gemstone”

Blanca satisfactorily nodded and picked up her reading glasses beside her

She showed no concern

It was just aartifact that had been left by her deceased husband

The hand that reached up to put on her glasses stopped lasses, she soon sht the item Perhaps it’s a coincidence?’

Or should she say fate?

After spinning the glasses in her hands for a while, she finally placed thee of her nose and opened her lips to speak

“Good Now, let’s do the rest of the work Our client has quite a few requests that we’ll have to go through”

“Yes, Madam”

After the enthusiastic yet brief answer, silence then stretched between theton Hotel ]

Even in the dark, those tords on the signboard were still glowing

Exuding a ht looked like a silver constellation in the night sky

And as the darkness grew deeper, the light of the Larrington Hotel becahter

Shortly after the Mada a robe

The place she went to was the roo

She opened the door with the key that was handed to her in advance by an employee, and soon, she entered the dark interior

Because the occupant was a patient, the room had a faint smell of blood and antiseptic

‘What kind of abandoned ward is this, huh’

Instead of turning on the lights in the room, Rosetta approached the bed with the mana lamp she had in hand

After she took off the robe, she hung it over a chair

Under the mana lamp’s diuessed from the scent of one

Bandages upon bandages rapped up here and there, but fortunately, the bandages she herself had tied over his eyes hadn’t been touched, just as she requested

It was still stained with blood, the sa around it was clean and white

After setting down the la ht by his head

The floor was hard beneath her feet

And the wall behind her that she was leaning on exuded cold energy

Sitting still for a while as she stared at the man, Rosetta carefully reached out to the back of the man’s head

Soft hair tickled her palms

When she pushed her hand back a little e

She tried to untie the knot several tie

So, she pointed an index finger instead, and thin energy split the cloth

“Ah, there”

When she pulled one side of the cloth, a few chopped strands of his hair came out with it

…Well, maybe a littleat the hair that was now on her palm, she blew over it

The strands floated like dandelion seeds into the air, and then scattered

Now that they couldn’t be seen, it’s like it never happened

After sweeping her hand along her skirt to cover up her crime completely, she turned to Cassion

She could see the face of the man as still asleep

He looked peaceful

Relaxed
