16. Curse of the Rose

“You don’t have anything to do. Why are you in such a rush?”

Catalina expressed her disappointment as she stood subsequent to her.

She meant: ‘Why are you going again already, I need to stick with you longer.’

“Girl Catalina. Thanks for caring for me at present. I need to keep longer, but it surely’s already late.”

I solely tried to steal Palesdon’s seal and run away, however I misplaced monitor of time as I used to be handled effectively by Catalina.

It was already darkish, so I believed it will be midnight by the point I obtained again to Brighton Mansion.

“You haven’t any conscience anyway! You might keep the evening right here and sleep. How can I, who’s outdated and weak, drive you away?”

Catalina appeared actually sorry for me as I used to be leaving.

I held her hand with a vibrant smile.

“I’ll be again, Girl Catalina.”

“It’s none of my enterprise whether or not you come or not. Why are you bothering me?”

Opposite to her phrases, Catalina regarded fairly pleased.

Catalina even noticed me off on my option to the carriage.

‘She will need to have been busy caring for me at present, so she hasn’t executed a lot work.’

It has a particular which means for her to commit her time to work all day as a result of she cherished Palesdon a lot.

After I reached the carriage, I used to be shocked.

“Why are there so many carriages?”

“Why are you being so cheesy as for those who’ve by no means seen these many carriages earlier than?”

No, it’s wonderful.

Along with a sturdy carriage manufactured from ebony, I additionally noticed a carriage adorned with gold and jewels right here and there, and a carriage manufactured from oriharcon.

The driveway was lined up with costly carriages.

‘The place the hell did she get these carriages?’

The carriage that Violet and I rode in was regular.

It’s additionally a bit shabby as a result of I purposely selected one thing that was not noticeable.

Buried by the presence of the sensible carriages in entrance of me, I couldn’t even see the carriage I used to be using on.

“I’ll return to the carriage I rode.”

Catalina nodded reluctantly after I refused as a result of it was too burdensome.

“In fact it is best to. You may’t experience that carriage anyway.”

“Ah, sure…”

I’m glad I don’t must experience it, however why did she present it to me then?

I quickly discovered why.

Servants started to come back out of the Palesdon mansion with a great deal of stuff.

My mouth opened huge after I noticed them.

‘That’s….’

These had been the attire, footwear, and jewellery that Catalina confirmed me earlier.

There have been dozens of servants carrying a great deal of gadgets endlessly.

“Catalina. Why is that this…….”

“Hmm. These are issues that don’t go well with me, so I throw them away to you.”

Catalina was a horrible tsundere to the top.

Lastly, after loading all the products, I used to be in a position to depart after a very long time.

The carriage that was loaded was requested to go to the Brighton mansion first, then I obtained into my carriage.

Then I handed a small pouch to Violet who was following me.

“Violet. Take this.”

“Sure.”

Violet, who by no means refuses if it’s free, accepted it simply.

“What’s this?”

“It’s a reward for working at present.”

“I might be so pleased if there was one gold in it.”

“Open up and examine.”

Violet opened the pouch as if she had been ready.

Then her eyes widened.

“Oh………?”

Violet, who rubbed her eyes as if she couldn’t imagine what she noticed, checked the pouch once more.

Then she raises her head.

“Ms. Banker, are you loopy?”

“Why?”

“There’s nobody who offers Mana Stone for stealing for a short while!”

Violet hugged her pouch tightly, as if she would by no means return the mana stone even when I ask.

“To be trustworthy, I additionally had dinner at Palesdon at present. So I wouldn’t have stated something even for those who didn’t pay me………. If you happen to do that, you’ll be handled like a pushover. You’re actually going to be my Ms. Banker.”

“Then will you give it again to me?”

“I’ll be taking it with me generously. I consider you as my Ms. Banker anyway.”

Violet unfolded her pouch and stared at Mana Stone with an ecstatic expression.

“I by no means thought I’d personal a mana stone in my life………….”

Violet, who had been admiring it for a very long time, wrapped the mana stone again in her pouch.

Then she begged me.

“Ms. Banker, can’t you simply rent me?”

“Then what are you going to do together with your sister?”

“······ That’s true. I used to be blinded by cash for a second.”

Violet murmured sullenly.

“What sort of baby is your sister?”

“Jasmine? She’s such a pleasant woman. In contrast to a foul woman like me………….”

Violet, who had been tight-lipped for some time, requested me.

“, Ms. Banker. I’m clueless as a result of I haven’t been to the academy or realized something. So you possibly can’t report me to the temple as a result of I’ve this query.”

“Okay. What are you speaking about?”

“Jasmine has by no means executed something unhealthy. She’s a candy child who’s all the time nervous about me regardless that she’s ravenous. However will Jasmine go to hell as a result of she lived on the cash I made out of stealing?”

Violet, who doesn’t get discouraged it doesn’t matter what she goes by means of.

Violet who’s happy with her life for stealing.

However at this second, she regarded responsible.

“I’m a child who lives by stealing different folks’s cash, so I don’t thoughts going to hell. However Jasmine, she’s not alleged to go to hell. When she was younger, the curse of roses got here out and I couldn’t do something. It’s…”

“Violet.”

“Generally I’m scared. Jasmine is so sick she might die any time. What if Jasmine, who suffered for the remainder of her life, will nonetheless have a tough time within the afterlife due to me?”

Lastly, Violet burst into tears.

Embarrassed, I comforted her.

“It’s okay. God will perceive the whole lot. Jasmine gained’t go to hell.”

“Thanks.

By the point Violet calmed down, the carriage stopped gently.

It arrived close to Violet’s home.

“Thanks for the whole lot at present.”

Violet nodded and obtained out of the carriage.

Violet stared blankly at me as I adopted her down.

“What are you doing? Let’s go.”

“Why are you going with me, Ms. Banker?”

“I heard Jasmine may be very sick.”

I pretended to take one thing out of my bag and took out the Rose of Concord and the fragrance from my stock and confirmed it.

Violet’s swollen eyes grew to become huge once more.

“Ms. Banker… I’ll work half-price for you for the remainder of my life.”

So I headed to Violet’s home.

“Since when did the curse of roses manifest on Jasmine?”

“It’s already been 4 years. She was once a wholesome child, however she collapsed after enjoying outdoors.”

“Actually?”

“It was the day when the demon appeared within the capital and it was a large number. After I obtained house after listening to the information, I discovered Jasmine mendacity down.”

A demon appeared within the capital?

“That day, Ms. Banker fell in love with the Duke of Palesdon. Rumor has it that the Duke of Palesdon saved Ms. Banker from monsters.”

“Oh, proper.”

That’s why Roselina risked her life for Argention. As a result of he saved her life.

I listened intently as I nodded my head.

I arrived at Violet’s home on the winding street.

I adopted Violet into the home.

“The home may be very small, proper?”

“It’s cozy and good.”

As Violet stated, the home was small, but it surely felt cozy.

Violet’s contact was evident all through the home.

“Jasmine, look who’s right here.”

And the place Violet was headed, there was a bit of woman mendacity, harking back to Leonhardt.

“Girl Ro, Roselina…………?”

Jasmine’s yellow eyes trembled.

Tears quickly shaped within the baby’s eyes.

“What’s mistaken? Are you sick?”

Violet was stressed, however Jasmine solely checked out me.

“Rose, I missed you! You stated you’d come to see me. Why didn’t you come all this time?”

Jasmine jumped up from the mattress that Violet appeared to have stolen as a result of it was too luxurious for the home and hugged me.

“Jasmine………………?”

“Sure, that’s proper. I’m Jasmine. Jasmine saved by Rose!”

What’s happening right here?

Violet, she didn’t appear to know both.

I put collectively the details I do know.

To seek out out what Jasmine and I’ve in widespread, it was 4 years in the past.

‘Did we meet then?’

So the curse of roses manifested on Jasmine who met me?

‘What’s that? It’s not like I put the curse of the rose on folks.’

However then, a notification got here up.

“What……?”

I couldn’t examine the contents but, however I believed I knew.

And the subsequent day, I obtained a fast report from Palesdon’s mansion.
