บท 189: The Black Relic Stone

"I refuse," Rosalind's answer came as a surprise to the Princess.

"You refuse to be my friend?" there was a hint of disbelief in Isabel's tone. "No one would dare."

"I do." Rosalind got up. "I did not help you out of the goodness of my heart, Your Highness. It was purely business." Why would the Princess suddenly warm up to her? Rosalind refuse to believe that this was out of goodwill.

"I would like to excuse myself, Your Highness, I still have things to do," Rosalind said before she eyed Mathies who was standing not far away from her. Then she gestured for him to follow her.

"I am here—"

Rosalind stopped walking when she heard the Princess's voice. She turned around and saw the Princess standing. "I am here when you change your mind," Princess Isabel said before she walked towards the attendants that were standing not too far away from her.

"Am I the only one who found that uncomfortable?" Rosalind looked at Mathies. The latter could only give her an awkward smile.
