Chapter 27
It was very difficult to respond
“Goodness”
When Rosetta replied in this way, her tone tinged with a hint of regret, Blanca clenched a fist in the air, then hid her hand once h about that We didn’t even love each other in the first place”
Considering the way she spoke about her dead husband, she spoke in a very unfriendly e how their relationshi+p was because of how affectionately she touched the ring earlier
“Anyhat you were about to mention earlier, Princess… I’rand proposal”
As she had conducted herself calmly before, a polite voice spoke to Rosetta
There was still curiosity there, but that was it
If she wanted to stop negotiating, she wouldn’t have asked again
For a lanced at Blanca’s hand for some reason, then she opened her lips to speak as she eyed Blanca’s veil
“Madam Blanca I hope you say only the truth Do you knoho this ht about it for a moment
“Only by chance I already knew his face, so I recognized hiht, then it’ll be easier for ain
“I’ to make this man a Duke”
“Oh my”
“So, I need your help on this That is my request”
Blanca was speechless, but she was covering her lips gleefully
“You’ll drive the other son out… and make the eldest son the Duke?”
Blanca spoke to herself as though I couldn’t hear
Then, as she leaned back on her chair, Rosetta felt the other woman’s reluctance
“For one request… There’ll be a lot to do”
She was a quick-witted merchant
She would definitely be at a loss if she took on a request as big as this
If she were to list down the requests that Rosetta had e one’s appearance and an investigation on someone—these were both requests needed to ht Of course, I’ll co”
Fortunately, there was no shortage of financial resources
Although she was an illegitimate child, Rosetta was treated like a ducal princess just like Alicia, except for the fact that her fa, food, housing, pocketelse
And what kind of allowance did a princess have in a wealthy Duchy such as theirs?
There wasn’t even any need to go to a safe to get the money needed Jewelry boxes filled her dresser drawers
She could even buy a few houses in the capital with those
“Even if I look like this, I have some money”
“…So you say, but you already look like you have a lot of estured towards Rosetta
“If you understand, then that’s fine Anyway, as you know, I’ll need a lot of help to make that man a Duke”
Rosetta paused
If there was a teacup in front of her, she would have taken a sip Then, she shi+fted her gaze towards the sleeping Cassion
Even without looking at him, she knew that he would have a calht now, but for as it for?
Of course, ‘Alicia’ was the fundamental reason
She averted her eyes once ht s a veil, she opened her lips
“Under the request to ‘ether a list of s it this way because it would be annoying to request theht need to contact you for a request in the future, and it would be tiring for me to come back here every time And, the necessary requests I’ll ask of you at that time… I think you knohat to expect”
“In short, to make him a Duke, you want to borrow ‘me’ myself, is that it?”
“If you put it that way, then it would be like I’ether towards one goal? I just want your helping hand I don’t care if you continue taking requests from other people”
The veilby how her shoulders were shaking, it was a silent laugh
Then, she straightened her previously lax posture She slowly turned towards Cassion
“First, you have to tell ured out who he is”
“If you don’t tell me directly, it’s in my code to continue to pretend not to know”
It was a code she abided by because she valued clients’ secrets
“Cassion Carter, the heir to the Carter faic”
“Aha”
It was a soulless excla at Cassion for a while, Blanca sat up straight
“The price will be expensive Will you still ask me to do it?”
“Can I pay the down payive you the rest later?”
“Why? You said you have more money than I think”
“I have it, of course, but I don’t think it’s to the degree of abundance that you think If you succeed later…”
Rosetta raised a finger and pointed towards Cassion
“You can take more h the air with the saer, then pulled it back
Blanca had no response
Perhaps the way Rosetta looked as she leisurely sat was suspicious
Silence filled the roo from ti did it stay that way? Soon, the sound of a surface being hit rang across the air
In the saht in thethis prolonged silence was far too loud
And the sound calass table, tapped on the surface in a gradually increasing tempo
Rosetta looked towards the veiled face, wondering if this was Blanca’s way of expressing her rejection, but Blanca leaned back on her seat just then
“Ahahaha!”
And a burst of loud, boisterous laughter echoed in the air
It was such a sudden outburst that Rosetta had to wonder where it was co fro tireeary of her unruly peal of laughter
“Huu”
It seeain her breath She kept saying, ‘Ha… p… pfft…’ while covering her face with a hand
Only after she stopped laughing that the situation was placed back in order
“Ah… Ha I apologize deeply”
With her hands still on her sides, she spoke in a breathless voice
