“Come on in.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Countess Maria timidly entered Roselina’s room.
“You may sit here.”
Countess Maria, sitting at the couch, casually admired.
“Is this a rose made of gold? I’ve never seen such a beautiful rose.”
“Yes, I got it as a gift from Duke Blake.”
Soon the two got down to business.
“The roses I promoted are now misunderstood. So, could Countess Maria help me?”
“Of course.”
Countess Maria readily agreed to Roselina’s request.
Roselina smiled at the golden rose stuck in the Orihalcon vase.

The day of the visit to the Empress has arrived.
[A new quest has arrived. Do you want to check?]
A quest appeared as I prepared to go out with the help of the maids.
[Scenario “Hero of the Empire”]
Congratulations on the opening of <The Hero of the Empire> to a new fate!
There will be many difficulties and hardships in proceeding with this scenario.
Many interests are intertwined. It may not be reversible.
In order to proceed with the scenario The Hero of the Empire, you must meet the hidden conditions and move on.
Don’t give up even if it’s a tough journey. You’ve already taken the first step in the screenplay, Hero of the Empire!
– Condition: ….
– Reward: 50 Fate Energy
“What is this?”
You want me to proceed with the quest without telling me the conditions?
As the days went by, the system window felt shameless.
I rolled my eyes and refused the quest.
[It’s a quest that you can’t refuse. It will be accepted automatically.]
“It’s a headache.”
I glared at the system window with force in my eyes.
‘Why do you keep accepting quests?’
Especially, how do you want me to solve this problem without telling me the conditions?
[There are precautions for this quest. Do you want to check?]
How much more complicated are you going to make it to be?
[NOTE: When you find out the conditions of a quest, you have a fixed chance to guess the answer.
If you are wrong more than three times, this quest will automatically fail.
The quest failure penalty is a predetermined fate enforcement.]
I hate the system for a little bit.
“Lady Roselina, you can’t open your eyes.”
“…Okay.”
But all I could do was keep my eyes closed.
And to the point of swearing at the system inside.

“Are you in 8th grade or what? Why are you acting so secretive?”
“I’m a great and secretive being who keeps the secrets of the world to himself. Are you doing this?”
