'If it's a game of 100% luck...'

As she was looking through the hall, she saw a card roulette game. It was a game in which the cards were arranged in a row, and only one card was taken to pay all the amount to the same cardholder.

With this game, it was possible to win as much money as possible by turning over the hourglass. Aria left Annie, who was soaked in the wine, took her hourglass and moved to the place where they played a card roulette game.

The card roulette game could not be manipulated because it was a way for an employee to mix the cards and a player to pick one out. So because of the people who didn't trust the employees, it was quite crowded.

"Which seat would you like to take?"

"I'll finish it at once."

When she showed the staff a chip worth a hundred gold, he guided Aria to a seat a little off the center. A hundred gold was a huge amount that ordinary people could not dream of, but it was not that big at a casino.

Several tables were placed in front of the card-mixing staff. When she sat down in one of them, she could see some good-looking people around her. She felt like they were going to participate in the game together. There were about ten or so people.

'There are about ten participants in one round...'

It wasn't bad. The minimum amount would be a hundred gold, and it meant that she could get a thousand gold in just one game.

When the staff lined up the cards, another employee waiting next to Aria asked her. "Do you want to choose a card?"

"No, I'll start with the next round."

'I have to check which card will be picked up. In addition, I have to check if there is no winner.' Aria watched the game go on for a while, putting the hourglass on the table.

The staff checked the time with his pocket watch. It took less than five minutes for the staff to line up the cards and the participants to select their desired card and check it out. The time was on point.

As most rounds did, even if it was a game of luck, there was no winner. Watching the staff re-mixing the card of Heart Queen, she turned over the hourglass.

"Do you want to choose a card?"

"Yes."

She then pushed the chips worth a hundred gold toward the front of the table and said,

"I'll bet all the chips on the card of Heart Queen."

Aria smiled leisurely, holding the Heart Queen handed by the staff. The participants looked out for the hands of the staff, who turned over the pre-picked card, with hopeful eyes. The result was fixed. Aria was the only one who kept a smile in the table full of sighs.

"Oh, my God! Isn't this her first time?"

"She was lucky. But there's no way for her to win the next round, too."

The applause and whistles poured on her, who pocketed as much as ten times the amount of money in just one game. She shook her head at the employee's question of whether she would bet again, leaving without regret. The magic of the hourglass was only once a day. It was time to go back.

"Will you take care of my companion?"

How much wine Annie drank? She laid on the sofa like a wet sheaf. It looked so ugly that Aria thought to leave her for a while. But she couldn't, and as she asked a staff to carry her, someone put Annie around his shoulders.
