Chapter 12

3. Can we get closer?

An incredibly cold voice came out even when I heard it in my ears.

“You’re demanding a proof?”

“That’s right!”

The lady, who was shooting back at me earlier, spoke again as if she thought the game was tilted against my favor.

Her voice was loud and she talks a lot, so she stood out, but she was not the center of attention.

Rather

“Is there a problem?”

She pretends to be innocent, but her way of speaking is full of hidden intentions.

This situation was planned by Lady Bronze.

If it were Roselina, she would have already jumped and made a fuss.

“Why should I do that?”

“What?”

“I, the Duchess of Palesdon and Princess Brighton, asked why I should prove myself to you. It’s not amusing to demand like I’m obligated to answer you, the daughter of a Viscount, Lady Hannah Zorbet.

When she said her name and family correctly, the young ladies seemed surprised.

‘It’s all thanks to the system window.’

[For the smooth completion of the quest, the names of the intruders will be displayed.]

[Lady Silverette Bronze, daughter of Count Bronze]

[Lady Hannah Zorbet, daughter of Viscount Zorbet]

The first and family name were floating right next to their faces.

She also got some useful information, including that Lady Hannah hates seeming like a liar.

And the white window underneath it.

[Quest list in progress (1/2)

[Reverse the Obtacles!(1)]

As soon as she stared at the quest, a detailed explanation window appeared.

[Reverse the Onstacles!] (1)

[You, who are destined to go through a thorny path, have many obstacles.

Be the first among them to defeat the intruder!

– Specialty: You can check the information of the intruders during the quest.

– Condition: Lady Silverette Bronze’s apology

– Reward: 5 Fate energy]

As can be seen from the generous 5 Fate Energy reward, Lady Bronze seems to be a shrewd saboteur.

‘She seems to consider herself quite clever.’

“You must have made Lady Hannah cry just because you were so angry at some immature young girls’ conversation. Please apologize.”

Still, it seemed that Lady Bronze and Lady Hannah gets along well.

Unfortunately.

The acting was so ridiculous and she can’t help but laugh.

“I’m the one who got insulted for staying still. Why should I apologize?”

“Your words defamed Lady Hannah.”

“Did you forget that she insulted my honor first? Did you forget that you all talked about me? Lady Silverette seems to lack the ability and memory to determine the situation. You’d better go back to get some intelligence development training.”

“That’s too much!”

“It’s your stupidity that’s too much. Can’t you still tell? I guess your intelligence is at the level of a newborn baby. Then you’ll have to ask for a nanny, instead of a tutor. Do you want me to introduce you to a good one?”

“You, rude–!”

Lady Bronze raised her hands.

‘Who do you think you’re trying to hit?’

Rosellina might be small in stature, but she was strong enough to be a villain.

After grabbing Lady Bronze’s wrist, she slapped her on the cheek.

“Argh!”

Then she whispered to Lady Bronze, who gasped.

“In order to prevent infidelity, under the Imperial Law, there is a provision that a couple cannot remarry a person chosen by the other party once they divorce.”

It’s an amusing setting that doesn’t fit into a crazy novel.

According to the system, Lady Bronze seems to be still anxious to become the Duchess of Palesdon.

At that point, the victory was already hers.

“What do you think will happen if I choose you?”

“That kind of…”

The face of Lady Bronze, which was confident a while ago, turned pale.

“Do you understand the situation a little now?”

“…I apologize. I didn’t know my place and was rude to the Duchess.”

As she beat the wedge one after another, Lady Bronze bowed her head and apologized.

[ has been confirmed]

[Quest has been completed]

[5 Fate energy will be given as a reward]

“I want to get along with you, Lady Bronze. Then, shouldn’t we help each other out?”

“I understand what you mean.”

Her face was colored with humiliation when she straightened her back. Reselina tapped Lady Bronze’s shoulder.

“Then hurry up and get out of my sight. “

As soon as she finished talking, the young ladies left the café as if running away.

When she returned to the mansion, she was nervous, her hands a bit sweaty.

[Use 100 Fate Energy to summon them

[The remaining fateful energy: 5]

[Summoning]

“Oh…”

Finally, it was the moment for the first summon.

When she shouted roses to see if her expectations worked, the system did not reject them it this time.

A new notification popped up.

[The condition of the item to be summoned will be adjusted according to the level of the summoner]

Soon a new notification came up.

[Summon was successful. You have acquired a rose whose condition has been adjusted]

[The summoned item will be stored in the inventory]

“Huh?”

A rose whose condition is adjusted?

“I’m anxious.”

Something was a little strange so she rushed to check out the inventory.

The roses in full bloom between the green leaves were vivid and beautiful, but the touch was a little different.

Soft but subtly different from the texture of the plant.

“It’s not a real rose!”

She couldn’t believe it.

As she held the rose tightly, the details appeared.

[A rose from the unknown world]

– Grade: F.

– Item description: Beautiful harmony that brings joy to everyone]

“What’s this?”

Where the hell is she going to this?

She detailed it carefully when she summoned, but in the end, it’s a fake, right?

People wouldn’t go crazy over fake things.

In other words, contrary to her expectations, this is a product with no commercial value.

‘I tried to summon it as a sample, but it’s not much.’

She suppressed her disappointment and put the Rose Harmony back in the inventory.

She didn’t know then.

How great the effect of the Rose Harmony will bring to the Empire.

｡+.｡☆ﾟ:;｡+ﾟ ☆*ﾟ¨ﾟﾟ･*:..ﾞ

Roselina headed to the Duke’s office, carrying the bag containing the money she got from the mana stone

“What brought you here?”

Duke Brighton seemed a little surprised by her sudden visit.

Regardless, she put the bag on the table.

“This is…”

“12,000 gold, all in cash.”

She intended to give the duke the profit from the mana stone from the beginning.

The Duke’s gaze looking down at the flashing pile of gold shook.

You must be proud that your child, who was a headache, brought money for the first time.

“Roselina. Who did you threaten this time?”

“It’s not a big deal—Huh? “

“Where in the world did you learn how to act like a bully in the back alley?”

I thought it was a joke, but the Duke’s expression was serious.

“It’s a shame to take away the money of some young man with weak family influence.”

“That’s not it”.

“Seeing that the amount is large, it seems that you even robbed the pockets of young ladies.”

Seeing the Duke sighing as if he were familiar with this situation, it seemed that it was not unusual for Roselina to rip off young nobles.

She’s not the best villain in the original novel for nothing.

“It’s not like that. My mine. Do you remember? I found the mana stone there.”

“That’s where the mana stone came from?”

“Yes. I got this money from the selling mana stones.”

“Roselina. I can’t believe you made money without extorting others.”

The duke seemed more surprised at this than the fact that mana stone was found.

“When I was young, I was so immature that I did a lot of things I shouldn’t have. I’m deeply reflecting on myself. It’s late, but I hope it will help with Leodor’s treatment.”

The duke was still silent.

‘Was it too much?’

It was then.

A series of letters appeared in the air.

[The Duke of Brighton’s favorability has increased by 10%]

[The current favorability of the Duke of Brighton: -90%]

‘Even though it went up, it’s still -90%?’

[The impossible has happened and fate has changed!]

[A scenario that can erase the stigma stigma will be created]

[A new quest has arrived. Would you want to confirm?]

Because of how Roselina has been in the past, the notification window has gone crazy just because of the slight reduction in unfavourability.

[You are the curse of the family; become a blessing!] (1)

[Duke Brighton has a huge influence on the Brighton family as the head.]

[Restore your honor with his recognition.

– Condition: The Duke Operse Brighton must acknowledge you.

– Reward: 30 Fate Energy, Scenario Open]

‘A new scenario that can erase the stigma?’

Is Roselina cursed to be called a villain?

‘There’s nothing bad about getting rid of notoriety.’

Soon after, the notification “Accepted the Quest” appeared.
