Rosie's Games

Chapter 112: Trouble 4

Jeames could not help but shiver when the light suddenly returned. He looked around and found no one in the hallway. Just as he expected. it was nothing but an illusion!

"What are you doing here?"

Jeames looked at the annoyed Loren.

"I told you to inform them about the matter and yet you have been here for a few minutes, in a daze!"

"I think she did something in this hallway. An illusion perhaps." Jeames said.

"You believe that an untrained woman could perform an illusion in a place only illuminated by candles in the middle of the night?" Loren asked condescendingly.

Jeames glared at the man. He was certain that anyone would find something like that impossible, but he was certain it was Rosalind who did it. Who else would have the ability to do it?

That was an illusion!

"Go ahead and inform everyone else! I found some traces of her running towards the forest. I will follow her. Get the others and go to the west. We will see each other at the waterfall. Follow the man from the Madam."

Jeames wanted to ask more, but again, Loren vanished like a cloud of smoke.

He really hated that guy.

This time, he did not think too much about his dislike and focus on looking for Rosalind instead. That woman played him. He would definitely teach her a lesson later on!

Jeames refused to believe that Rosalind could leave this place alive. She simply had no strength or training to do that. With that in mind, he made his way into the other members of the mercenaries that the Madam hired and told them to go to the waterfall. They are going to catch that dirty mouse of a woman!

...….

Rosalind was almost out of breath. Using her light magic like that was enough to tire her out. She didn't want to risk it, but how could she let go of an opportunity to trick Jeames?

She hated that man!

She might sound petty and perhaps a little dumb, but the fact that she was able to do it gave her satisfaction. She was not planning on dying tonight, but if she did, she would at least do it witha little bit of glee!

She stopped running and tried to catch her breath as she leaned against a large tree.

Again, she tried to use her teleportation ring but it was still not working. What happened? She wondered. Was it broken?

Biting her lips, she calm her racing heart and started running again.

Unfortunately for her, she couldn't teleport using her dark Blessing again as she already used it twice earlier. First was when she left the room and second was when she got out of that old dilapidated house!

Again, her dark Blessing could not transport her that far as she was not strong enough. The most that it can do was about two hundred or three hundred meters.

Again, it was not too much, but she could still use it to save her life.

Her only way of getting out of this place was to use the ring.

But it was not working.

"Ah!" she hissed when she felt something hit her right foot. She was running barefoot in the middle of a forest. Naturally, accidents like this would happen, but… she was not prepared for the pain that came with it. There were roots everywhere and sharp rocks and branches.

She knew her feet were already bleeding.

Again, she found a large tree. She crouched and examined her feet. She could smell blood and the pain was simply too much. She wondered if she hit some sort of—

"Found you— "

"Ah!" Rosalind yelped when the man named Loren grabbed her arm, dragging her away from the tree. "Let me go!"

"What futile attempt. This place was covered with scripts. You cannot escape or call for help!"

"Let me go!" Rosalind started to struggle, but it was all for naught. The man was stronger, taller, and bigger than her. There was no way that she could defeat him with her current skills!

Again, she scolded herself. She had been very careless.

She thought that she had everything under control but she was wrong.

She had underestimated both Victoria and Dorothy. josei

Their greed simply knew no bounds!

Perhaps, the only reason why she did not think that they would do everything to try and get her Blessing was that this had never happened in her past life. But then again, she chose to work with them in her past.

There was no need for them to try and take her Blessing out of her body.

"Madam… we found her."

Before Rosalind could even say a word, she felt her body hit the ground. She gasped at the pain in her wrist. She must have twisted it when she unconsciously tried to use it to support her body.

"What a waste," Victoria said. "How did she escape? I thought she was not able to use her Blessing anymore? I paid a lot to make sure that she would not be able to do anything and yet here we are. We needed to hurry for the sun is about to shine. The scripts would not work during the day!"

"Take her back to the room," Dorothy uttered.

This time, Rosalind lifted her head and met Dorothy's indifferent gaze. Earlier, Dorothy clearly showed hesitation, but this time, there was simply none of those emotions in her eyes.

Seeing this, Rosalind gritted her teeth.

"Did you really think you can take away the Blessing from me?" she asked. "You fool, you are doing nothing but curse yourselves!"

Dorothy stared back. She walked a couple steps towards Rosalind, lessening the already small distance between them. "I would rather die cursed than… be treated like nothing," Dorothy said. "Please don't blame me for doing this sister. This was simply fate. I was fated to become the Blessed one."

Rosalind snorted at that. Two strong hands grabbed her arm and pulled her up then another man restrained her. She glared at them before turning her gaze back to Dorothy.

"You better be careful big sister," Rosalind uttered as she thought of her knife. "Some wishes do come true." When she felt the dagger in her hand, she wasted no time and swung it towards Dorothy.
