During the time Citrina lent Gemma to Desian, Gemma was undergoing extreme training as Citrinas contractor.

    ina-nim, youve been defeated.


    Read only on


    Me?


    Me, defeated?


    ina looked at Genfiros with a mixture of puzzlement and doubt.


    Will Baron Foluin still love you? [T.L.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.Note: Low blow, Genfiros.]read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    Love? I dont need that.


    Ive heard there may be a session ceremony in the near futureso Baron Foluin will be there, wont he?


    I believe so.


    Unfortunately, there isnt much for you to do until then, ina-nim.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.That is as long as Duke Pietro holds out.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    She had a look of slight confusion.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.There was a vague hesitation in her venomous gaze.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    Genfiros wasnt one to miss picking up on that hesitation.


    Alright.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.You wont be able to kill her right away, ina-nim, not with your power.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.But there is something you can do.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    What is that?


    Desian Pietros weak point is your sister, Citrina Foluin.


    So?


    Citrina Foluins weak point is you.


    Citrinas weakness is me?


    You dont know Citrina.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.She betrayed me in an extremely calcted way.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    At one time, Citrina would have supported her without hesitation.


    So I suppose youll have to put yourself between the two of them.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.It will be quite interesting to watch the Duke run amok.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    Genfiros had hit the nail on the head.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.Desian Pietros only weakness was Citrina Foluin, and Citrinas only weakness was ina.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    Otherwise, Duke Pietro wouldnt kill ina mercilessly.


    So lend me your ear.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.Ill tell you how.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    ina bit her nails as she listened to him speak.


    The act of killing came with a lot of risk.


    ***


    It had been a few days since Gemma disappeared.


    Did she really want to go to the dukes? I dont feelfortable.


    Gemma cried that she had to go, so Citrina let her go.


    It was strange to have a spirit who had been with her for so long disappear.


    She realized that if Gemma didnte back in three days, she would have to visit the duke.


    She had news that Gemma would be happy to hear.


    The news was something delivered to her by a knight in the form of a small scroll.


    I want to tell her that there will be a ceremony for my knighthood.


    She had only crossed one hurdle so far, but she was happy enough.


    She would have to prove her wealth and semi-noble reputation first.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.There could be no misrepresentation.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    So Citrina is going to be a noblewoman?


    I suppose so, but its not a hereditary title.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.Its more like a knighthoodso it wont be much different from now, Adc.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    Still! This is really good.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.I cant wait to show it off to my brothers, too.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    Since it wasnt a heritable title, it was like she was aplete aristocrat, but it would be nice to get a small estate, repair it, and move in.


    She would get rid of the rented townhouse, build a castle, and move in with Adc and Lita.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.They would have a big party.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    And then


    When we get settled, then Ill consider my rtionship with Desian.


    She was moving forward one step at a time, like climbing a staircase.


    One thing that concerned her though, was inas behavior, and her attitude was somehow strange.


    Ill have to put up some sort of defense.


    Somehow, it felt like she was empty inside.


    Citrina smoothed her hands on her neck.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.Before Gemma came back, Citrina would have to grow up to some extent.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    Ah, Ill go ask the information guild for some info.


    The information guild? You mean those nefarious creeps?


    Adc looked puzzled.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.Right, the intelligence guild in this world had a bad reputation.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.They had a reputation for hiring thuggish mercenaries to intimidate people.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    However, Citrina know of one information guild that had a good reputation.


    Being reincarnated came in handy at times like this.


    A question mark appeared over Adcs head.


    Read only on


    Well need specific figures to prove our reputation.


    Well, I suppose so.


    I dont need a huge guild, and Ill need a ce that has a reasonable price.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.Come to think of itread only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    Citrina had a sudden thought.


    Duke Pietro also paid attention to prestige.


    Citrina bit her lip.


    Theres something I can do to help.


    She would have to gather some rumors about the Pietro family.


    Lets find out what sort of infamy the Pietro family has, what kind of situation they are in, and make sure they are taken care of.


    That was how Citrina helped Desian.


    I know a bit more about Desian, and I dont believe the rumors, but even so.


    Somehow, Citrina wanted to get to know him better.


    Maybe she could find out what rumors were out there and, in some small way, help to spread the good news about him through her contacts.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.She could also give Desian some advice.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.


    Still, it would be nothingpared to the favors he had bestowed upon her.


    Determined, Citrina spoke up.


    Ill go to the information guild.


    H, how long will that take you?


    I dont think it will take long.


    Master! May I go and see Count Lorenas young lord?


    Read only on


    The small cuff linksmissioned by Count Lorenas young lord were set with jewels that Lita had crafted.


    Lita was getting back to his trademark clever remarks.


    Citrina stroked Litas head and nodded.


    Alright, Lita, lets do that.


    With that, Citrina grabbed a handful of gold coins and headed out the door.read only at salmotte .. This annoying watermark is not there.She needed to go to the information guild.
