Chapter 16

“What is she up to?”

Argention recalled the day Roselina first visited Henness.

The handkerchief she wanted was in his arms, so it was enough to give it to her quickly and send her back.

But he didn’t want to.

‘Is it because if he has the handkerchief, his pain subsides?’

No, it was just an excuse.

It was much more beneficial to endure the madness than to keep getting involved with Roselina.

“But why did I lie that I didn’t have her handkerchief?”

Roselina said to Argention, who was in doubt.

“It’s the only gift I’ve ever received from my husband, so it’s more precious than gold to me.”

“That handkerchief was the only memory and happiness I had left.”

She, who usually worshiped gold like a god, said she valued her handkerchief more than that.

After Roselina left, Argention reflected on her words for a long time.

‘Was her heart sincere?’

Argention couldn’t even remember when he gave Roselina a handkerchief.

Because it was just such a trivial thing.

However, Roselina called it her lifelong happiness.

Strangely, it kept bothering him.

As if the feelings that he thought were dry were revived.

While thinking of Roselina every day, she contacted him.

It was the divorce papers that greeted Argention who responded immediately to the call.

Argention’s eyes shook slightly.

Of course, he knew that he was the one who asked for divorce first.

And that his current mind is contradictory.

‘But Roselina.’

She said she love him.

But she wants to get a divorce?

He couldn’t even fathom it.

“Master, are you listening?”

“Of course. I listened to your suggestion.”

At Roselina’s voice, Argention pulled himself out from his reverie.

Just as he was about to reject Roselina’s offer,

“No, I’ll show you myself.”

He can’t believe it.

“Wait! Madam!”

Argention was surprised and got up.

Roselina took a rose out of her bag and held it in her hand!

“What are you doing? If you want to die, look somewhere else to do it.”

Not long ago, he received a report on Roselina.

The report that is more than 500 pages also included Roselina’s curse of roses.

Even as Argention approached, she calmly held the rose.

“Put it down”.

Argention, who snatched Roselina’s hand, was astonished.

The white and soft hands were fine.

“Unbelievable.”

“Isn’t it?”

Argention couldn’t say anything to Roselina, who smiled confidently.

He can’t believe there’s an item like this.

‘Is it not a coincidence that her handkerchief relieves the his madness?’

If so, it was necessary to watch Roselina more.

‘That’s all.’

There was no other reason.

“All right.”

Eventually, Argention accepted Roselina’s proposal and looked at the rose seriously.

“It’s not a real rose. It’s almost the same, so ordinary people wouldn’t notice right away.”

“That’s right. Master is sharp.”

“Of course, the curse effect won’t come out. It looks real, but it’s not technically real.”

“That’s the selling point.”

Argention’s finger tapped the table lightly.

As Roselina said, the item she brought was amazing.

A rose that is free from the curse of roses. As soon as it is released, there will be an explosive response from the public.

“If we control its production and make it premium, the price will jump to the ceiling.”

“My plan is similar to that. I like it.”

“Okay, I want to sign an exclusive contract with Madam. Please tell us the conditions you want.”

Roselina smiled as if she had waited for those words.

Argention stared at Roselina, somewhat feeling possessed.

“Okay. Let’s start negotiating the ratio. I’m 9, Master is 1. What do you think?”

“Don’t you need an initial investment and advice for your future business? Rose harmony is an amazing item, but you won’t get much profit from it. It’s going to be hard to succeed without my help. 1… That’s too little.”

“Instead, I’ll pay all the costs required for the production process. And I will also recruit investors, so that’s not a bad thing at all. Then how about 7:3?”

“8 to 2. I can’t yield below that.”

｡+.｡☆ﾟ:;｡+ﾟ ☆*ﾟ¨ﾟﾟ･*:..ﾞ

After Roselina left, Argention felt exhausted.

Even if there is a storm, it will be calmer than this.

Roselina took the initiative throughout the conversation as well as the negotiating table.

It shouldn’t have happened.

However,

It wasn’t unpleasant.

‘Was Roselina this kind of person?’

Rather, it’s mildly pleasant.

Eventually, Argention decided to admit it.

Roselina is such a troublesome woman.

｡+.｡☆ﾟ:;｡+ﾟ ☆*ﾟ¨ﾟﾟ･*:..ﾞ

After successfully completing the contract with the Master, her steps were very light.

‘Everything is going smoothly.’

Let’s check the information now.

When she opened the status window, all the information about her came to mind.

[Roselina Palesdon

– Age: 21 years old.

– Family: Palesdon, Brighton.

– Stigma: Brighton’s disaster.

Characteristics:

– The one who breaks the wheel of fate of Grade F

– Summoner who summons items from an Unknown world of Grade E

The quest list in progress (3/3)

–

–

–

Scenario in progress

– “Blessing of Brighton”.

– Item: Fairy’s token]

“Huh?”

Something was weird.

“Why is that still ongoing quest?”

Did she see it wrong?

However, it remained the same even when she rubbed her eyes and looked at it again.

– The quest list in progress (3/3).

– “Interrupt the intruder in reverse!” (2)

She pressed the quest and read the explanation again.

[Interrupt the intruder in reverse!] (2)

Now, more and more intruders are appearing. A sneakier and prepared intruder appeared than before.

But if you surrender to this extent, you can no longer change your fate. Fight off the low-level intruders and move forward!

– Condition: Combating low-level intruders, Dorota.

– Reward: 20 Fate Energy]

Dorota was already imprisoned.

“But the quest was not completed.”

“It means I haven’t fully met the conditions yet.”

Finding Dorota was not the only thing to do.

“I need to find the person behind Dorota.”

Perhaps the person who led the stigma .

At the same time, a notification came to mind.

[ has been confirmed]

[20 Fate energy will be given as a reward]

‘I was right.’

Theoretically, it was not difficult.

“I can just find someone who benefits from Roselina’s low reputation.”

It could be seen that this applies to those who have a grudge against Roselina.

The problem was from there.

“There must be fewer people who like Roselina.”

It was because she had overwhelmingly more enemies.

｡+.｡☆ﾟ:;｡+ﾟ ☆*ﾟ¨ﾟﾟ･*:..ﾞ

Strange rumors began to circulate in Brighton’s mansion.

Brighton’s disaster, who has returned, will eventually lead to ruin.

“Everyone’s been talking about that these days.”

“Really?”

“That’s right! It’s really happening as Lady Roselina said.”

Anthony chatted for a long time before she noticed her.

“What’s wrong? Are you sure you’re okay? I know Lady Roselina said you’re okay, but everyone’s talking about Lady Roselina in a bad way.”

“It’s absolutely necessary for me. So please continue to keep the atmosphere like it is now.”

“Yes, I will.”

She was grateful to Anthony for her gentle response.

She was the spy she sent.

Last night, after completing Dorota’s eradication quest, she felt a little unfair.

She doesn’t have to be criticized for something she didn’t even do.

‘I can’t live after being framed like this.’

The notification came to mind as it’s reading her thoughts.

[There’s a quest that hasn’t been checked. Do you want to check?]

“Come to think of it, there was a linked quest.”

She accepted it because she thought it would be necessary for the current situation.

[Scenario “Blessing of Brighton”! (1)

Congratulations on the opening of the scenario “Blessing of Brighton”!

However, we cannot proceed with “Blessing of Brighton” yet.

In order to proceed with the scenario “Blessing of Brighton”, you must first erase the stigma “Brighton’s Disaster”.

Find what you need to erase the stigma “The Disaster of Brighton”!

– Condition: Two prerequisites needed to erase the stigma of “The Disaster of Brighton”.

– Reward: 40 Fate Energy]

She was lost in thought when she saw the quest.

“First, I need to find out the cause and get rid of it.”

Then she thought of the hints she got in the process of eradicating Dorota.

“Shouldn’t I find the mastermind among the intruders?”

The notification immediately came to mind as if she had guessed correctly.
