"So the devil protected her from his own curse"

"But who protects her from the devil?"

Just when I asked that question, pure confusion took over Madam's face.

"Pardon?"

"If the devil protects her from the curse, then who protects her from him?" I repeated my question again.

"That's...that makes no sense. Why would she require protection...?"

"Well he's the devil, is he not?"

"That...is correct..."

It starts raining.

Madam's butler rushes with umbrellas to help us.

But both of us are unbothered about the rain.

Because we were too busy in our conversation...

It was nothing surprising...

Because that night, I'm sure Rosetta had died.

Moreover...

The book never mentioned Rosetta after the 12th chapter again.

Which only confirms my suspicions.

Then is it only a myth?

No...I don't think so.

If the priests, Rosetta's father, even the history books claim it to be true...

There has to be some truth in it...

Which I'm not aware of.

But I wonder what is it...

Rosetta...

What happened to you on that night?

"Duchess! Are you alright??" Sir Franklyn rushes to help me in the rain.

"I'm alright Sir, the weather changed very suddenly..." I say.

"Its not unexpected..." Madam says.

"Why is it not?"

"Oh its nothing. I hope I didn't take too much of your time Duchess, I'll pack your dress" She says.

"No, infact I had a great time Madam." I replied.

"I'm glad to hear that"

Then just when I was about to leave...

"The devil can't go against his word."

"Huh!?" Sir Franklyn is shocked from the mention of that word.

I narrowed my eyes and just nodded.

"Let's go Sir Franklyn, it's getting late".

"I am really looking forward to the masquerade party tomorrow" I say at the dinner table.

Derek who was cutting his steak, makes a sharp noise with his knife on the plate.

"That's great sister. I'm sure no one will be able to take their eyes off you and my brother-in-law!" He smiles.

Wow he dares to smile like that in front of me, huh?

"Brother why don't you join us as well? Won't it be very boring at home?"

"Join you? But I do not have a partner..."

"Why not? You do have Teresa" I say,  shifting my gaze towards Teresa who stood a little farther from the table.
