Chapter 271: Dangerous Bargain

"Your expression makes me curious, Oriana. Pray tell, what is the reason you called me here?"

"Teach me how to use my powers."

Oriana was straightforward, her tone akin to that of a businessman doing a transaction which she confidently believed would not be refused.

A corner of Rosetta's lips curved into a smirk. 

"And why do you think I will do that?"

"Because you are the same as me, Lady Rosetta. You are a Black Witch as well, one who has  vested interest in me."

Rosetta stared at Oriana for a while, as if trying to see through her. However, there was no chink in the young witch's armor. Her decisive expression showed nothing of her inner thoughts, although one could see from her posture that she truly believed her words to be true.

"Mind your manners, young lady," was all the black-haired beauty said in response, as she turned around to make herself comfortable on the seat of the lounge area.
