Edith’s face flushed with anger and humiliation, and she swiftly struck Nikki across the cheek, berating, “If it hadn’t been for that wretched scroll you handed me, driving me to madness, I wouldn’t be in this state!”

“No, it wasn’t me…”

Nikki shielded her face, shaking her head frantically.

“Absolutely, Nikki! You handed the master the cursed scroll but presented the genuine treasure to this foul man. You’re lower than a dog!”

“I believed in your loyalty, yet you’ve revealed your heartlessness through this betrayal of our master!”

“Don’t pretend any longer, your hypocrisy is sickening!”
