106. After a moment of silence, Helens says:
"I don't think you are a bad bard, Rebecca... Neither a bad person. Not after hearing what you just said.
But, before we continue, let me dry this sea of tears"
105. "... but a heroine, a brave traveler who practically is a knight-errant and, above all, a good person who takes pity on me, a jerk that hates and envies her miserably.
I am a horrible person, Helen, and I deserve being bald."
104. "What was the use of all my efforts if my rival, despite all my sacrifices, will be better than me always, automatically? It's terribly frustrating.
And, to make things even worse, you are not a bad person: all this time I have hated not only a professional companion..."
103. "Because of that, I hated you so much: you have a very creative mind which is also so agile, so you can compose formidable pieces in barely days... or even hours! And that despite no have any superior education, a fact that makes me feel like a total fool!"
102. "You don't understand, Helen: it's even worse!" Rebecca explains, devastated. "When you said before I was jealous about your skills, you were totally right.
Since I was a kid, I have put a lot of effort and studied very hard to be the best nowadays bard..."
101. "Don't worry, you didn't" Rebecca clears up while she mumbles. "I'm crying because I'm an idiot and I'm gonna be bald for that!"
"Take it easy, Rebecca" Helen tries to calm her. "Everyone (myself too) has lost a bet sometime: yours is not so serious, the hair grows back..."
100. Helen, of course, notices her rival's tears.
"Are you ok, Rebecca?" Helen asks, worried. "Did I cut you by accident?"
99. Until Rebecca can't hold back her tears anymore and starts to cry and sob.
98. As she just said, Helen starts to shorn Rebecca's mane, trimming the fire curls of her rival slowly and delicately.
At first, the red-haired is calmed, but little by little, she changes her expression: gradually becomes more and more afflicted and distressed...
97. "Yeah, a bet is a bet" Helen declares while she takes Rebecca's scissors.
