Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 979 - 480 Florecia’s Rebellion, History Still Moves Forward (4k)_3

But for her, it was pointless.

Florecia shook her head, "This beauty has no great meaning for me."

"It’s not like that."

By now, everyone else had left, leaving only the old maid who had been combing Florecia’s hair. She spoke in a kind voice, "A woman dresses up for the one who pleases her. Maybe you, Miss, will also find a man for whom you truly wish to reveal your beauty?"

Florecia said bitterly, "There won’t be an ’after’ anymore."

The maid set down the comb and said, "Then, may I offer you such an opportunity, Miss? Do you wish for it?"

Florecia turned abruptly, looking at the old maid whose face was full of wrinkles.

"Who are you?!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Without answering, the maid trembled as she took out a filthy porcelain bottle from her bosom and placed it in front of the dressing mirror.

"Inside it is the blood of a Tier Four beginning-level Lord Dragon Origin Beast. Should you become infected with it, no matter how much the old Duke and your brother wish to marry you off, their plans will come to nothing."

"After all, who would marry a Variant? Even if her status is exceedingly noble."

Florecia clenched her fist and said, "Who exactly are you?"

The maid replied, "Just a passerby who could no longer stand by and desired to do something."

Florecia’s pupils constricted, "Are you from the Void? Did you infiltrate here with the intention of destroying the alliance between Praying City and Silver City?"

The maid laughed softly, lowering her voice as she said, "To tell you the truth, I indeed wish to destroy the alliance between Praying City and Silver City, but achieving this is very simple. Since I have managed to blend in here, I could simply make a move to kill you now, but seeing you, Miss, and what you have encountered, I am reminded of my own granddaughter, and I cannot bring myself to do it."

"I present this bottle of Lord-level dragon blood to you, Miss. Think carefully about whether or not you wish to use it. Once infused with the blood of a Dragon Origin Beast, your lifespan will be much shorter."

"Now I will return to see my granddaughter. I hope you, Miss, can find someone for whom you truly wish to reveal your beauty."

After speaking, the old maid turned and walked away.

Her mission had come to an end.

Florecia did not pursue, her mind echoing with the maid’s words, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Sister, it’s time to go."

Reyceria pushed the door open and lit up at the sight of Florecia.

Beautiful!

If she weren’t his own sister, violating ethics, he would want to marry Florecia himself.

"Might as well keep the ’good water’ from flowing into others’ fields."

"Mhm."

Florecia nodded, standing up shakily in her voluminous dress, clutching that small porcelain bottle in the sleeve. She had drunk the liquid inside, and now she felt like her entire being was on fire.

"Sister, what’s wrong with you?"

Reylia noticed immediately that something was off with Florecia.

A small porcelain bottle fell to the floor, making a crisp, clattering sound.

He picked it up and angrily said, "Mutant Factor? Damn it! Was it those maids? Even though they were all checked, how could an enemy have still infiltrated? And Ressia, how could you be so foolish?!"

Florecia’s vision was blurred, but the corners of her mouth curled up in a faint smile.

The Tirsiu Calendar, year 3122, April 21st.

On that day, the relations between Duke Kelly and Duke Moro soured.

The planned engagement was called off.

This was the fragile rebellion that a powerless girl could muster, solely by her own will.

The world’s history continued on its known course.
