Chapter 48 (1/2)

Chapter 48

In the original novel, Diana was an assassin of the highest class

Light on her feet, fast with her hands, and had very sharp wits She was that kind of assassin

This was the result of failing to overcoer sister’s o down a darker path

It didn’t seem like she had killed anyone yet at this ti people in the near future’

In any case, as an assassin, she later became entirely loyal to Leo and served him as his hands and feet The reason for that was simple

It’s because Leo cured Ria of her illness

Aical research, it just so happened that there was one such ite from

Leo offered it to Diana, and the medicine had an exceptional effect on the child

Truthfully, it was a stroke of luck

As it was still being studied, the potion was incomplete and could still have had side effects

When Leo gave that medicine to Diana, it was only intended to be a ‘clinical test’ in the first place

Diana, in the end, did not know the truth behind this

Blind to the truth, for her, Leo was entirely just the ‘savior of my little sister’

And Diana was so for her benefactor

“It’s not a leap You will be deeply, exceptionally loyal Because you love and care about your sister very inal novel for a while, she smiled and replied like this

On the other hand, Diana couldn’t smile at all

In fact, she also knew about her own sharp senses

When she had to survive from the bottom of the pack, she had no choice but to have these senses

And, with that sharp wit, she realized that Rosetta’s words clearly had an underlyingsaid…

“Just nohat you’re saying… Are you saying that you’re taking e?”

She asked the question, yet no answer returned right away as she stifled her breaths

The silence was suffocating

She was so nervous because the silence could be interpreted as both a yes and a no

Diana’s fingers curled onto the floor

And her fingernails scratched through the rough, arid surface

“Before I cas about you…”

“Pardon?”

“I heard that you’re working for one of those shady guilds? And that you borrowed money there for your sister’s medication”

At Rosetta’s hushed question, Diana blinked

‘You found out so like that in such a short amount of time?’

Perhaps it was only natural for her influence over information to be that powerful because she was a ducal princess

Whenever she confirmed once more the htened up evencrazy fro alone outside the door

Soon, however, these emotions shattered and dispersed into the air

“That medicine It’s fake, you know”

Despite how offhandedly she delivered this fact, Rosetta’s words were absolutely shocking to Diana

“…What… are you…”

If words had a tangible form to them, Diana would have collapsed from them by now

It felt as if she’d been hit on the back of her head with a athered, it has effects like a painkiller, and your sister said she felt like she’s getting better, right? That’s only because she can’t feel the pain Besides the temporary anesthetic effect, there is a side effect that would radually deteriorate Perhaps even, she could lose her life any time soon”

“Lies…”

“Isn’t the botto yellowish brown little by little? Her hands are shaking, and her tongue is becoe color, too, I believe… It’s been a while since she drank the medicine, yes?”

Every time Rosetta recited the symptoms one by one, Diana could see her little sister’s face flashi+ng though her head

The deepening shadows of the yellon hue under her eyes, her hands that trembled frequently Even her pronunciation soible

‘Now that I think about it, these sy the ht about this, she ju from both of her knees when she had hit the floor with a loud thud earlier

However, she felt no pain at all

She wouldn’t feel any pain in her body She was seething with blind rage

“What do you plan to do?”

At Rosetta’s question, which she asked with the sahtly betrayed her restlessness

“I’ll have to pay them a visit I have to know if it’s true If it is, then I’ll kill them all”

At the frank remark that held not a trace of falsehood, Rosetta nodded back Then, she asked again

“How?”

“That…”

Hesitating at that point, Diana trailed off

She also knew that she wouldn’t be able to do it

“You cherish your life though Don’t you have to protect your sister? If you go to a place like that alone, then you know fully hich side will perish”

She couldn’t refute any of it Because she knew that what Rosetta said was correct

At thatwas a sense of helplessness, resenter boiled within her and becaed at her throat

That hot, acrid sensation prickled at her throat and around her eyes

“If you jointhe other way Whatever it is that you wish”
