Lady of Curses

*Tud.* Aella closed the wooden door behind her as she entered the room. She looked around the room and saw some furniture in the room.

 Of course, there was the bed with a chest at the end of it, then a round carpet in the middle of the room, a dresser where you could store your clothes and probably other stuff, and lastly a table with two chairs. Aella wouldn't call this fancy, but at the same time, she didn't really know the standard of living in this room, for all she knew this was some high-end stuff.

After she finished standing at the door Aella decided to take a seat on the bed, while Grefured had already laid in the middle of the carpet. When she sat down on the bed, Aella was a little surprised by how soft the bed was, she was fully expecting a hard, or at least somewhat uncomfortable sensation. 

Although she had already slept once in this world, or more precisely in the plane where Safury live, she still for some reason thought the mortal plane had beads bade out of straw or just blankets thrown on some wood, and only nobility could sleep comfortably, but again made this was true and this in was just really fancy, even if it didn't look like it from the outside.

So as a sane person, Aella decides to ask June about all this. ''June can I ask you something?'' Aella looked at the elf that was organizing her stuff. ''Sure.''

''I'm not too familiar with this world's customs.'' Aella took another look around the room before she continued. ''Could you tell me, where the quality of this room stands?'' 

''Quality of this room?'' June raised her head and looked at Aella with a confused expression.

''Yes, if this room was high class, or just middle-class standard, something like that.'' Hearing this June atomically changed her expression.

''Well, you could call this a commoner's standard bedroom. Of course, there are some differences as this is an inn, but yes most commoners would have at least a room of this quality.'' The elf gives Aella the answer while looking around the room. 

''I see.'' Aella just nodded after hearing June's answer.

Seeing that Aella's curiosity had been fed for the time being June returned to sorting her things. After June sorted most of her stuff, she changed clothes, to a more casual look. After June was done changing her clothes, she looked at the pile of her dirty clothes, there were clothes that just were little dirty to clothes that were stained with blood and dirt that she had no idea what was the original color of those. 

But she didn't look too long before she used her magic to entice those clothes into a wooden cocoon, and just left it there. While June was doing all that Aella was just sitting on the bed thinking about her next move while she looked outside the window.

''What are you thinking about?'' Aella was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard June.

''Nothing much, just the next steps I should take.'' Aella turned her attention to June as her eyes left the view outside the window. ''I think I will say goodbye to everyone and then return home.'' 

''Do you need something to do back home that is urgent?'' 

''No, not really. Why the question?'' 

''I wanted to ask you a trade.'' When June mentioned a trade Aella got a little interested. 

''Sure, what kind of trade?'' 

Hering that Aella was at the latest interested in the offer June went to her bag and rummaged through it before she pulled out a piece of paper that was rolled up. June unrolled it and Aella saw that it was blank.

''I want your help with this.'' Aella had no idea what June meant by that, and June saw that as it was indicated by Aella's confused look. ''Right, this is a special paper, it is usually used for magic spells. You save a magic spell on this piece of paper and when needed you can cast the spell instantly and without consuming your mana.'' 

''But the paper has limitations, based on the quality of the paper it limits how strong a spell you can save on it.'' After June explained, Aella got the idea of what the elf wanted from her.

''So I'm guessing you want me to save a curse on that paper?'' 

''Yes, a few if you can.'' June was getting a little excited because it looked like Aella was agreeing to the trade.

''Okay I can do that, but what do I get?'' Aella was happy to make the deal, but she had to know what she was getting in return. 

''Well I can't really offer you anything specific, so how about you give me an offer and then I can say if this is a fair deal.'' June actually had no idea what Aella would want, except maybe some monster cores. 

''Sure, then I would like two things.'' Aella raised two ringers as she continued to speak. ''One, I would like some clothes, and two I would like you to save some of my blood, sounds fair?''

''Sounds fair.'' June was happy with this deal. ''So do you want to do the blood thing now or later.'' 

''Let's do it now.'' Haering this June went to get a small glass vial and a knife.

After that, the elf gave the knife to Aella, who after getting it sliced her finger so that she could get some blood. Seeing some blood tricking down from her finger she took the glass vial from June and put it against her finger so that all the blood would go in the container. 

As the vial was small it didn't take much before it was more than half full, and as it wasn't necessary to fill it to the top, Aella gave the vial back to June who closed it. Now one of the requests where done.
