Passive Inheritance System for All Occupations

The words were interrupted, and Stephanie recovered from the surprise, and looked at the siblings in front of her with puzzled eyes: "Sorry...that, did we know each other before?"

"The only descendant left by the former king, the treasure of the Kingdom of Elchea, the name of Princess Stephanie, there must be no one in this country who does not know."

The young man—— Kong, smiled and gave such a speech like ten thousand essential oils, and then bowed slightly with Bai: "I am Kong, this is my sister, Bai, it is an honor to share the worries of Her Royal Highness."

"blank……?"

After thinking about it carefully for a long time, Stephanie finally determined that she never knew someone with this name before, and her doubts suddenly became bigger.

"The one who shared my worries was..."

"Of course it's the gamble now."

Kong pointed to the huge disparity between the two sides on the small round table—or it should be said that the number of chips has already been calculated to determine the winner, and then said: "If this continues, we will really lose."

"What do you mean if you continue like this... Do you have a way to win?"

"Well, so to speak."

Sora nodded seriously, his eyes full of determination.

Hearing the boy's confident answer, Stephanie instantly felt as if she had ascended from hell to heaven, but before she had time to think more, a questioning voice came from across the card table.

"Won't you win or not... Stephanie Dora, we shouldn't have said that outsiders are allowed to intervene before we finalize the bet, right?"

Kurami gently flipped the cards in his hand upside down, looked at the three people who suddenly ran out to disrupt the situation at the last moment when he was about to win, and then turned his gaze back to Stephanie's shaken face: "Or , Your Royal Highness, is the dignity of being a royal family such a contemptible thing?"

The dignity of the royal family...

The girl's words were like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into the weakest link in Stephanie's heart, destroying her newly raised hopes in an instant.

"Thank you, thank you for your willingness to stand up and speak for me... But it's still not necessary."

Helplessly smiling and rejecting Sora's request for help, Stephanie sighed lightly, and was about to turn over the cards in her hand.

Even if you lose, at least don't act too embarrassed in the end...

However, before her, the other hand had already lightly pressed the face of the card, preventing her from opening it.

"Stephanie...be obedient."

The words with a commanding and admonishing tone became easy to accept because the speaker's tone was too weak.

"Suddenly intervening while others are playing the game, isn't it too much for the two of you?"

On the opposite side of the small round table, Kurami frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "In the name of [Ten Covenants] and the only god Tetu, please stop messing around, I don't know what relationship you have with Stephanie Dora, But this gamble has nothing to do with the two of you."

"Oh? [Ten Covenants]..."

Kong showed a weird smile, and looked sarcastically at the petite girl covered in black veil on the opposite side of the card table: "Then may I ask, this lady who dare not even show her true face, the eighth of the ten covenants is what?"

"Cough...cough cough, cough cough...!"

Hearing Sora's sneering rhetorical question, Kurami's calm posture that he had maintained all along was instantly broken, and he coughed repeatedly as if covering up.

"Why, can't remember?" The sneer on Kong's face gradually expanded: "Then why don't you let me recall it for you, the [eighth] of the Ten Covenants... If there is any improper behavior in the game, once it is revealed, it will be regarded as a defeat." .”

When he said the word "defeat", his gaze suddenly shifted, from Kurami to a figure in the corner of the tavern covered in a hooded robe.

"boom!"

Almost at the same time when his gaze shifted to that figure, Kurami slammed his hands on the table, and then stood up from the gaming table with a bang.

"No more gambling."

"Eh……?"

Stephanie looked dumbfounded at the girl who was proud of being the final winner a moment ago, but now said she would not gamble. It was difficult for her to realize what happened.

"I said, I won't gamble!"

Kurami repeated with emphasis, her eyes slashing across Stephanie and the blank trio like razor blades.

"Wait a minute...Miss, you seem to be inaccurate, don't you?" Kong smiled relentlessly: "Is it [stop gambling]?"

Kurami stared at Sora in silence for a few seconds, and the resentful eyes suddenly became calm.

"I admit defeat, I lost."

"Oh——so I admitted defeat."

Sora draws out his voice, the tone is sarcasm and complacent, as if he is boasting of victory, but also as if he is mocking someone's shady means, falling into Kurami's ears, it really makes her feel tormented.

"Humph!"

Finally, leaving behind a cold hum, she turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, and left the tavern quickly.

There was one person missing at the gaming table, and only Stephanie was left blankly sitting on the table.

After a while, she came back to her senses like waking up from a dream.

Won...really won...?

You were already prepared to lose everything, but you didn't expect to win at the last moment?

Of course, this is not to say that her gambling skills are so good that she can fight back casually with residual blood, nor is it because of a sudden burst of luck that she drew a good card. On the contrary, her last hand was still an unlucky single card. ...

The reason why you can win is to rely on the strength of others.
