Chapter 105: Trouble Brewing 1

Rosalind laughed. She laughed so hard, she almost fell out of her seat.

Reincarnation of the Dark Lord?

The Dark Lord was not dead, he was simply sealed away by the seven families. No one could kill the Dark Lord. Why would she suddenly reincarnate as one? To be fair, she was someone who was reborn, but she was not the Dark Lord. She was Rosalind Lux.

"I apologize I just " she cleared her throat when she finally calm down. "I just I didn't expect that it would be like this." Nor did she expect that someone would actually call her a reincarnation of the Dark Lord. It simply did not make sense.

However, instead of feeling down, the smile on Mathies' face grew bigger. "No one would."

"Eh?"

"Who would believe that someone actually received the blessing of the dark?"

The Duke did.

She blinked as she thought about his reaction the first time she showed him her blessing. Now that she thought about it, that reaction didn't look normal. She was too absorbed with her plans that she failed to realize that it wasn't normal for the Duke to react that way.

"You are not going to tell anyone about this unless we are sure," Mr. Montgomery said.

"I know, Leader. This is something that could "

"I think it is just too abrupt for us to assume something like this exists," Rosalind inturrupted. Again, she did not want anyone to know this. There are ways to keep this a secret, but all of those ways involve making them shut their mouths forever. She did not want that. She wanted to build relationships that would benefit her in the near future, not something that would give her a bounty on her head.

Again, she sighed inwardly.

She did not know what to do. That dagger completely ruined her plans. Should she just tell them about herself?

In the end, she decided against it. She could not reveal her identity to them. At this point, it would be better if the only one who knew who she really was is the Duke.

"For now, let us avoid jumping to conclusions, but if this news will reach the ears of other people, you can forget our previous agreements. I will not be working with you or coming back to the black market." She narrowed her eyes. "And I will do everything to destroy it."

Seeing the seriousness of her words, the three other men turned serious.

"We understand. You can definitely trust us, Miss Lin."

"I hope so, Mr. Pratt. I really hope so." Revealing her identity was a stupid thing. She cannot let them find out who she really was so she could avoid any dangers. Even sisters and blood-related families could betray each other. She learned this the hard way in her past life.

She will not fall for the same thing in this life.

After that, the three finally decided to stop talking about the Dark Lord or anything about the dark Blessing. The atmosphere slowly brightened, especially when she told them that she would start her treatment.

Not long after, she was taken to Alma's room where she did another round of treatment by absorbing the dark curse. Then she informed them that after this treatment, she still needed to treat Alma every six months just to make sure that the curse would not come back.

Next, she needed to tackle the Duke and Princess Isabel. By now, she was fairly sure that Isabel had been through a lot of pain. That should be enough, right?

"You are going to treat them tomorrow?" Mr. Pratt uttered. "Are you sure? You said that you will be in immense pain after treating Alma."

"It's alright, I can handle it." More importantly, she needed the gold. She needed money as she was going to the North in a few days. She needed to prepare for the cold. Probably at least buy a few coats since she did not have something that could last long during the travel and she needed medicine.

Since she cannot carelessly use her light Blessing, she could not just heal anyone if she wanted to. Therefore, she was going to bring things that will help her in the north. Luckily, she had a spatial bag and she could just put everything in it.

"Then, I will send a word to the Duke. Tomorrow, night, they are going to a place that only I know."

"You are not letting them decide on the place this time?" she asked, surprised at Mr. Pratt's actions.

"No," the latter shook his head. "Your previous assumption about the Duke was right. I had been careless. You need more protection after healing the Princess."

She nodded. She did not know if Mr. Pratt just thought of this because of the dagger or if this is simply his way of thanking her for saving his daughter. Frankly, she did not care. This was nothing but a transaction something that has a price.

"Very well... please give me the new crates of black and white relics, as well as the things that I gave you last time. I will be paying for them from my card." She gladly handed the man a card. This was from the gold that she accepted from both Mr. Pratt, Lucilla, and Mr. Montgomery.

Of course, she had the option to use the card that the Duke gave her in the past, but she chose not to. It would be too obvious. She could not reveal anything to them including her somewhat complicated relationship with the Duke.

After Mr. Pratt gave her the things that she asked for from the last time that she came here, she gave him another set of lists for her travel. From books to food to clothes and herbs, she decided to be prepared this time!

She did not know how long this journey would last so she just wanted to be prepared for all possible scenarios that she had in her head. Then she went home only to find a panicky Milith.

"What's wrong?" she asked, frowning.

"Miss Grace just came here she said the Madam wanted to see you."

"In the dead of the night?" she asked.

"Yes she said she wanted to see you as soon as possible."
