"As an impostor, you only need to know this much, don't ask questions you shouldn't!" Alaric reminded her with a cold voice.
Galatea cursed him silently before snapping the file shut, replying with assurance, "I've committed all these details to memory. Don't worry, I won't let you down." "Good," said Alaric. "Now it's your turn."

Galatea couldn't help but let out a mischievous laugh at his shocked expression, taunting, "Scared? If you think I'm cursed, you could always find someone else. Despite your flaws, you've got money and power."
