"[Ding! The Charm Glasses are activating! Ding! Congratulations, Master—you've received 10 affection points from Rosaline Hexaris!]"
"Oh! Have the effects finally kicked in?" Merlin beamed.
He looked at Rosaline's cold face and noticed her hatred slowly fading, replaced by confusion and curiosity.
'What's happening to me?' Rosaline wondered in disbelief.
She didn't understand it, but as she looked at Merlin, the hatred that should have been there was simply gone.
It didn't make any sense.
'Pfft! She must be confused,' Merlin chuckled, letting out a long sigh.
Ten affection points might be a little low, but it was still better than a negative score.
At least, he didn't have to try so hard to stop Rosaline from hating him.
"Welcome, Rosaline. Thank you for arriving on time," Ronald said with relief.
To be honest, he didn't understand why someone like her would want to attend a welcome party like this.
