Chapter 75: Test of the Rose Windmill Cabaret (9)

The current situation was similar to what Ella had experienced at the Vergsong mansion.

Treating someone else's illness and gaining something in return.

Ella had a rough idea of what he might demand.

Perhaps he was aiming for a forfeit.

There were regulations regarding forfeits in the detailed rules, and everything seemed fine on that front.

The situation was much better than the worst-case scenario she had anticipated.

No one had died or been injured.

In fact, things had turned out well.

Ruelle's illness would be cured, and they would easily obtain the first star.

It was a good deal for both sides.

But…

Why did a corner of her heart feel empty?

Ella remembered the day Wonderstein first showed her the script.

She had dismissed the idea that a devil who knew nothing about the human heart could create a proper script.

Her dismissive attitude vanished the moment she read the script.
