Miss Nora complained in her heart with a stern face.

"Hehehe, that princess must be thinking about you. She even sent someone to look for you a few days ago. How infatuated she is."

Lucia responded in her head with agitation, her tone becoming more critical and sarcastic, like a woman who hated her marriage.

"I don't understand what you are thinking with your stupid head. Instead of throwing yourself into my arms, you are playing hard to get!!"

Lucia cursed in frustration,

"Stupid! Do you know that Grace is surrounded by many beautiful women waiting to be favored by her every day? You won't even have time to cry when the time comes."

Nora couldn't help but tilt her head at the loud noise.

She still had no expression, her face was like a lifeless robot, but her heart was retorting passionately like firecrackers.

"Lucia! Are you done yet? I spent a lot of effort to make that special potion you mentioned that can give ordinary people magic, but no one wanted it on the black market. In the end, I sold it for only one gold coin. It ended in failure."

"You said that Her Royal Highness's earrings could be sold, and I almost believed it. But right after I walked in, the Royal Guards came to investigate, and we were in a state of panic and ran for a long time."

"Lucia! You asked me to seduce the fifth princess again. Is this realistic? Can you be more reliable?"

"How am I unreliable?"

Lucia refuted stubbornly, and said in an extremely confident tone:

"What if I say that everything I asked you to do was because I foresaw your future?"

"my future?"

"I can sense the future, and everyone will move towards a predetermined ending. This is the instinct of the Witch of Disaster."

The wheel of time always crushes all stubbornness without hesitation.

The witch's deep voice was ruthless and heavy, as if no one could change the predetermined fate.

"What fate has planned cannot be changed. You are born to be her imperial concubine. You must accept your fate."

"Accept fate?"

Nora's footsteps stopped. She argued in her mind, her voice firm and clear as a sword drawn from its sheath.

"Lucia, I tell you, I don't believe in fate. My own future can only be decided by myself. No one can control or manipulate my destiny."

"I can't possibly be her vassal!"

It is a good thing to have a personality that does not succumb to power, and it shows your own style!

But Lucia fell into silence for the first time in a long time and was unable to convince Nora.

Even if I told myself that Nora would soon fall completely under the spell of that terrifying princess and become a pervert who only knew how to do ○○, Nora would not believe it at all.

Because Lucia herself couldn't believe it, but the future couldn't be changed.

Such a powerful woman who stands tall and proud would be forced down by a social idiot like Nora in the church.

This is so weird, is Grace not okay?

Or is Nora too good?

No, that's Vers's territory! Nora is the one who is too presumptuous!

----------

Family members, there should be a big update on the 21st!

Stay tuned!

The main reason for taking leave these days is that yesterday was a holiday, so I’m sorry!

99.Is it love?

However, these things are nothing to Lucia, who has a unique way of thinking.

"Yes, you are right."

She admitted it calmly without any concern, and then changed the subject in a frivolous voice.

"But if you bring the 'Source of Magical Power' to sell this time, it will bring disaster to you."

A disaster?

Nora glanced across the streets on both sides. The slate tiles were covered with a layer of frost that had condensed in the morning, and the smell of fireworks made the world lively in the gradually brightening morning light.

She lowered her head. At the end of the long street was the black market in the imperial capital Klein.

There was a shabby tavern that was open all night. The kerosene lamp hanging outside the door under the sign of "Nietzsche's Tavern" that provided night lighting almost lost its only glimmer in the early morning glow.

From a distance, the exterior decoration is made of natural birch wood, which has turned slightly black and has a damp and rotten look due to wind and sun.

The way to get in is simple, through a magic mirror that ripples like the surface of a lake.

Then you can reach a secret place that ordinary people can't reach, the black market city.

There is a large-scale auction house for nobles in the imperial capital, but for most magicians at the bottom, they do not have the wealth to enter.

As for why such a black market was opened under the emperor's nose without being shut down.

Nora knew without thinking that the background behind this must have been opened by a powerful person.

"I know what a magical potion that can give ordinary people magical powers means. I'm not afraid."

Nora took a deep breath and decided to communicate frankly with Lucia.

"Three days is enough time for the drug to take effect. The last buyer, when he takes the potion and feels the presence of magic, will definitely come to me again."

"This time, no matter how much I offer, he will definitely accept it."

Thinking of her sick foster mother Denise and the red blood, Nora held the medicine wrapped in a sack tightly in her arms, placing some invisible hope on it.

“I need lots and lots of money.”

"Let's take a gamble. I'm betting that I can get all the medical expenses from him at once. Even if, as you said... the people from the Magic Association track down the 'source of magic power', it has nothing to do with me."

"Oh! Idiot!"

Lucia sneered in her mind and cursed angrily,

"You are risking your life! What if he brings people to arrest you this time? What if he attacks you without giving any explanation like he did to me?"

Her frivolous voice expressed an impossible choice, "You might as well listen to me and slap your stepmother in the face and sell all her jewelry."

How can it be that simple?

Sometimes Nora really wanted to do things the way Lucia did, to rebel against all the dissatisfaction in the world.

But things in this world are beyond our control.

My stepmother, Lady Hurley, is the only daughter of Duke Ryanka, and she can easily crush me to death...

If it weren't for my father, I might have died in obscurity long ago.

Fortunately, he met Lucia and can now barely support himself by making magic potions.

Seeing that Nora didn't speak, Lucia thought that her teachings had touched someone's soul.

"Children don't have that many thoughts. It's normal."

Like a fox with its tail cocked in triumph, she commented with the attitude of a person who has experienced it.

"I told you to sell it for 5,000 gold coins, but you refused to listen and only cared about the small profit. Now..."

"but!"

Nora interrupted Lucia anxiously.

"Denise can't wait any longer. The best doctor in St. Wales said that there is dead air in her chest. If she misses the best time for treatment, she won't live more than half a year."

“We’ll make as much as we can right now.”

"whatever."

Lucia said this in a somewhat annoyed tone. She continued to speak in a frivolous and indulgent voice, words that Nora could not understand.

"I suggest you really go and act coquettishly with that Grace the Great, wear some nice clothes and seduce her once, that's all."

"Lucia! That's enough!"

Nora rubbed her temples again and again. Even though she had a paralyzed face, the veins on her forehead were bulging. She returned all her anger and confusion to him.

"Don't you think this is too much? Do I have to sell my body? Lucia, you sometimes make me unreasonable."

"Why can't I control my own destiny? If I want to get ahead, I can use my body to sleep with Grace!"

Perhaps she really felt her own anger, and the noisy Lucia shut up for the first time.

"..."

No words were spoken for a long time.

There was no point in being angry at Lucia, her low moral standards wouldn't allow her to understand.

"Forget it, I've just been in a bad mood lately."

Nora decided to end the subject.

My footsteps moved slowly on the stone slabs. Even if there was no sound of birds in winter, the hustle and bustle of the human world in the early morning reminded me of the arrival of a new day like birds.

Finally, as we were about to reach the Nietzsche Tavern, Lucia suddenly said in a steady voice,

"I mean, she'll give you two hundred gold coins every month. Can't you work as her maid and advance the money for a few months? I don't think she's interested in you either."

"If you return the earrings, it should be fine."

"It's hard to say..."

It was difficult for Nora to agree, but Lucia was a little abnormally normal this time, which made people a little uncomfortable.

But she quickly regained her shameless and unreliable look, and began to speak excitedly in a frivolous voice again.

"Hehehe, if you really can't bring yourself to do that, I can help you."

If Lucia was given control of her body, she might end up climbing into Grace's bed the next day.

"Take action? Use my body to please the Fifth Princess? Forget it! Lucia, I'd rather you be impotent and furious in my mind."

Nora interrupted Lucia's question and stopped in front of an ordinary cake shop.

The attentive proprietress in an apron opened the locked wooden door, and the fresh and delicious fruit cakes were exquisitely displayed on the square windows.

Nora looked at the proprietress's bent waist, and the fine wrinkles on her forehead gradually appeared, and the dense sweat soaked her hair.

She is an ordinary person. Although Lucia's mind is not normal sometimes, she also has normal times.

Lucia is actually a normal person, isn't she? Her character isn't that evil.

"You...?? Nora, how can you, a little bastard, have no respect for the elderly..."

Nora ignored Lucia's noise and couldn't help but raise the question in her mind.

"Stop, stop, stop cursing, Lucia. I have a question that I've always been curious about. Why do witches have to be wiped out?"

Lucia's anger paused.

She still looked fearless, like a bad person who was slandering a good student. She said:

"Because the witch doesn't believe in God, Weiers is very worried."

"?"

The witch doesn't believe in God? What's the answer?

Nora never expected the final result to be like this, she even suspected that Lucia was lying to her.

"As for the old men in the Magic Association, they are selfish people who guard their pitiful knowledge every day."

"Ordinary people need to go to the Magic Association to learn from the beginning of sensing magic power to learning advanced magic. If there is a potion that allows ordinary people to master magic, then the Magic Association's cake will be shared by everyone."

Lucia said in a very fast tone and spat harshly.

Nora felt as if some invisible phlegm was spit into her head, and her brain was buzzing.

"So...is this the reason why you were finally wiped out?"

"Not really. I seduced Weiers's favorite child..."

Speaking of this, Lucia was still a little happy and proud. Nora could even imagine her proud look with her chest puffed out like a white goose.
