Female NovelWith Quintessa's words pushed to this extent, Cynthia, ever so sensitive, couldn't bear the embarrassment any longer and ran away. Quintessa snorted-how could someone like her be a hero?

"Leona." Crystal's crying stopped abruptly.
Leona pulled her hand away from Crystal's grasp and left.
Manny was helping Quintessa remove her makeup, and Quintessa cautioned him, "Be careful, you might prick yourself."
"Huh?"
Quintessa reached up and felt around the bun of her wig on her head, soon pulling out several needles.
"That's the advantage of historical costumes. With the high bun and lots of accessories, a few thin needles can be easily hidden."
"Wow, you're badass," Manny looked up to Quintessa with admiration as he quickly gathered up the needles.
