After a long wait, it was finally Zenna and Radulf's turn. Pushing aside the curtain, they stepped into the dimly lit space, where a woman sat gracefully behind a wooden table.
Her fingers, adorned with rings of various gemstones, lightly traced the surface of a crystal ball that rested at the center.
Zenna and Radulf took their seats across from her.
The woman's piercing gaze shifted toward Radulf. "It seems you don't believe in this," she observed in a calming tone.
Zenna's eyes widened in awe. "How did she know?" But Radulf remained unfazed.
"You're right. I don't," he admitted without hesitation. Then, tilting his head slightly, he asked, "Are you a witch? I'm surprised witches are allowed in the capital." His words were blunt, carrying sharpness.
The woman didn't flinch. Instead, a faint smile played at her lips. "I am not a witch. I am a fortune teller."
