The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

The Rabbit-masked man set the tray down in front of Hannah.

Hannah eyed the exquisite dishes.noveldrama

Todays meal is better than the last few days.

Whats the occasion? Is this meant to be my last meal? Miss Moore, you really have a way with words.

Here at Twilight Dimness, we strive to treat you well every day.

The man in the Rabbit mask smiled faintly, seemingly unperturbed by Hannahs sarcasm.

He smoothly pulled over a chair and sat across from her, adopting the casual posture of friends chatting.

Indeed, today is unusual, but not as you might think.

Twilight Dimness could be facing a significant upheaval tonight, and you, Miss Moore, as our guest, deserve the utmost hospitality.

The master insists that, regardless of circumstances, your safety is paramount.

Hannah raised her eyebrows, set down her book, and regarded him with a mix of curiosity and amusement. Sounds thrilling.

Whos daring enough to stir up trouble in the tigers den? You know them well, the Rabbit-masked man responded tersely.

Its serious.

Theyre planning an attack on Twilight Dimness tonight, and our forces are on high alert.

Hannahs smile held a hint of mischief.

But you dont need to worry, do you? After all, no matter who wins, it doesnt really affect you.

The Rabbit mask man chuckled.

Youre not entirely correct.

While it doesnt harm me personally, the outcomes do affect my gains.

Hannahs smile was gentle but sharp.

Im not interested in your gains.

Innocent people? The man in the Rabbit mask smiled and said, Miss Moore, you and I both understand that here, no one is truly innocent.

Suddenly, urgent footsteps sounded outside the door, indicating some kind of emergency.

The Rabbit mask man swiftly stood and moved to the door, peeking through the peephole before returning.

His masked expression was unreadable, but the tension was apparent.

It seems somethings happening outside.

I must leave you now, Miss Moore.

As he gathered his things to depart, he paused and looked back at Hannah.

If things remain stable in Twilight Dimness tonight, youll have the chance to meet the person youre seeking.

Given our past interactions, I feel compelled to warn you-meeting this person might be something youll regret.

Previously, he had revealed that this person was someone she knew. However, he was reluctant to disclose the persons identity.

Hannah frowned and asked, Cant you tell me who that person really is? The man in the Rabbit mask shook his head, Were not friends.

I have no obligation to tell you anything.

However.

He paused as he opened the door, a smirk barely visible beneath his mask.

I look forward to seeing your reaction when you meet the Master.

It should be quite the spectacle.

Hahaha.

Bang! With that, he slammed the door shut, leaving Hannah alone with her thoughts.

Everyone here is mad, truly deranged! Hannah muttered under her breath, her disdain evident.
