Chapter 97
What are these guys thinking?
Arachno didn't understand why [Girl] Columbia left the Winter Palace and came to the Hearth House in the suburbs.
She didn't understand why [Lady] Rosalin Kruschika Lowfat, who had just met her, came to the Hearth House.
Do these two like children?
Why didn't they visit during Kugavina's tenure?
Arachno investigated Kugavina's interpersonal relationships after taking over, and she found that Kugavina's relationship with Columbia and Rosalin was very indifferent.
Therefore, Arachno was very confused, why did one or two of them suddenly come to her small Hearth House?
However, even if the doubts in her heart were about to drive her crazy, Arachno would not say it out loud.
First, she might not get an answer if she said it out loud. Even if Columbia answered her, Arachno could not guarantee that Columbia was telling the truth.
Secondly, it would make her look ignorant and childish, and she would be making a fuss, which would be detrimental to her image as a servant.
And the last point...Alechino would figure out the answer she wanted by herself, and she didn't need the answer from others.
...
Winter, Hearth House.
Not long after [Girl] Columbia arrived, another Fatui executive [Lady] Rosalin also came to Hearth House.
She wore a black crown-shaped mask to cover her broken face, a black and white long skirt, and a red striped cape with black velvet on her sleeves.
Similarly, because of the severe cold weather in winter, Rosalin also wore the executive's iconic white cloak, and the black fur protected her neck to keep her warm.
Although Rosalin was not afraid of the cold. She hated fire more than the cold.
After all, her body had long been filled with liquid fire, and when her life fire was almost exhausted, Rosalin accepted the power of the Ice Queen. With the extremely cold Evil Eye of Ice, the flames that had been biting her forever were extinguished.
Unlike other Fools who exercise the power of the Evil Eye, the Evil Eye is an instrument that suppresses the raging fire that devours everything. Rather than a weapon for fighting, it is more appropriate to say that it is a tool for detention.
Rosaline's aura is exposed to danger. After taking a look at her, Alecino determined the degree of danger of Rosaline.
A relatively dangerous lunatic, she is not her opponent in normal state, but if she releases the power of the curse, she will kill Rosaline.
"...So... [Madam], why did you come to the Hearth House? I don't think you came to visit the children."
Alecino folded her hands and spoke indifferently.
"According to the information I have, you seem to have joined the Fatui because of the Queen's grace, and before that, wherever you pass, will be reduced to ashes."
Faced with Arachno's harsh words, Rosalin just smiled faintly.
"Yes, I am the Witch of Fire who will bring destruction and death. What do you think? Sir Arachno, I am sincere and will not avoid talking about my past like those guys. I am very frank."
Rosalin said with a smile, holding her right hand with her left hand.
But her smile reminded Arachno of a dead person.
It was an illusion... She was different from Kugavina.
"Your smile is so fake. Let's stop the mutual probing courtesy here. Tell me your purpose, [Madam] Rosalin."
Arachno lowered his hands and stopped talking about trivial topics with Rosalin.
"Hehe... You won't invite me in? Leaving a guest outside the door is not a good way to treat a guest, right?"
Rosaline smiled and answered the question with a question.
"Whether you are a guest or a jackal depends on your sincerity."
Alechino did not give in, staring at Rosaline with his dark red eyes.
"But then why can the [Girl] go in, but I can only stay outside the door? Alechino, isn't this unfair?"
Rosaline raised her head proudly, she was going to go into this new hearth house today to take a look.
"Don't worry, Alechino. I know what you are guarding against."
"That's right. If someone like you climbs to the position of executive officer, there will definitely be people below who will not obey you. But you can completely trust the executive officers chosen by Her Majesty the Queen."
"Although we will have some friction, we are all the sharp swords of Her Majesty the Queen. The swords can clash, but they must never break. Her Majesty the Queen does not want to see the executive officers damaged by internal strife."
"Oh! Except for [Doctor]. That guy has no humanity. It is better for an executive officer like you who has just taken office to stay away from him... Well, but I remember that your predecessor had a lot of contact with [Doctor]. Maybe you will be affected by him."
Rosaline said a lot at once, and a lot of it was intelligence, which was very helpful to Alecino's current situation.
After listening to what Rosaline said, Alecino was silent for a short while and asked.
"Why did you come to the Hearth House?"
"Why? Hehe... Because I used to have my own children, but an accident ruined me and also made me."
Rosaline was still smiling, but the smile became bitter and sad.
But soon, Rosaline returned to her previous arrogant and confident appearance.
"Alecino, I think we should be friends. You are worth investing in."
Alecino stopped arguing with Rosaline, and she moved sideways to make way.
"Welcome to the Hearth House."
"Hehe! You are talking as if I am an orphan..."
Rosaline laughed.
Hearing this, Arlechino remained silent. She was just still wary of Rosaline, just as she was on guard against Columbia.
She didn't trust these two people, or rather, she didn't trust anyone in the Fatui.
Arlechino still didn't understand why these two people came to her place for no reason?
And as planned, Rosaline came not long after Columbia arrived.
It was hard not to make Arlechino suspicious!
Why did these two "old men" of the executive come here? Visit her?
If Columbia and Rosalin came to cooperate with their predecessor like Pucciniella before, Arlecchino could still understand and deal with it.
But these two people are not like that.
They seem to come to show goodwill and want to form an alliance with her.
However, what is there in Arlecchino that is worth their attention? They are all powerful people, especially [Girl] Columbia. Arlecchino really can't understand this guy's thoughts.
Forget it, since I can't figure it out, I will put it on the dangerous list.
Be prepared to be enemies with them at any time.
