Reborn As A Duke's Daughter
Shadow Lord

The night has come. I immediately got out of the dining room, and headed towards the direction the casino was located. Arriving in front of the casino, I kept quiet for a while to observe the circumstances around. Then, feeling safe, I entered the casino. There were two servants in the casino who greeted me. They directed me to the payment table, to pay the entrance fee. After paying I was allowed to play as much as I could.

I see a lot of games. Especially at the table in the middle. It seems like a card game, or commonly called blackjack. I'm approaching that direction. Take a look and a few moments later, one of the players loses. He lost all the money he put in. Some people who watch are not interested in playing. More precisely doubt. ' I think he's a pro player at this casino' My inner judge the player who wins.

" Aren't you a player who never loses? "

" right. I also want to play, but if he's the opponent, I'll just watch "

" How many fools have challenged him, and ended up losing "

The whispers of the two beside me. I grinned for a moment, then I went forward and sat down on the chair that was on the other side. People around who watch this game are gawking. I don't care so much about them, even whispering. Meanwhile, the player in front of me just kept quiet and smiled lightly at me.

" What do you want to play? " ask the person who will be my opponent.

" Blackjack "my answer is short. He replied with a faint smile again towards me. I just kept quiet. Then ask the waiter who served as the referee to prepare the game.

After that, we started playing. He bet a million gold coins. I bet the same with him. We keep playing. I also always watch his movements. Nothing is suspicious. I think he won because of his own ability and not the result of cheating. When the last card came out, he seemed to smile. And glanced towards the back of my chair. He's winning.

My feelings are not good. I think he played a trick at the last moment. I might lose so easily. I was used to gambling in my previous life. And for a moment I remembered. He glanced behind my chair. Then, I immediately glanced at the direction he was heading in earlier.

And I found a mirror with a very small size.

I know why he so confidently won. And always seems calm. It's not because he's a pro. But, because he was always watching through the mirror on the other party's seat. I grinned. I have a good idea for that. I'll pretend I don't know the trick. Meanwhile, I'll play him.

We continue playing. I changed the card I was about to take out last by using a trick. He always looked in the mirror. He won't know which card I'm going to put out at the last minute.

When the last card is opened. I'm win. He looked surprised. Same with the people watching. But we play again. I think he thinks I'm just lucky. This time the stakes are bigger. I silently smiled.

....

" Crazy?! Who her? "

" Win in a row like that. I've never seen him here? "

" Is he new? "

" I guess so. He won a lot of "

" And this is the first time that person has lost in gambling. Defeated by new players? Oh, it's hard to believe "

Whispers continue to be heard. I ignored that. And take all my betting money. When I wanted to leave, a servant called me. He offered to make a member card. He explained the usefulness of the member card. I'm pretty interested in that. Especially in the last point, which says that I can go to a special room to play with other members, in the hours past from midnight. Or even with the nobles who came to play gambling in this casino.

I agreed to be a member. After waiting to make the card, and when the card is over I'm out of the casino. I'm going back to Darold's house. It's almost midnight now. Tomorrow I'm going to the black market.

So, today it's enough to get here. I will continue my mission tomorrow.
