Chapter 132: Famished 5

Chapter 132: Famished 5

Rosalind's delicate brows furrowed when she heard the report from the third maid. She sighed inwardly.

She always knew that the Lieutenant would get into trouble because of her temper, but she did not know that it would happen so quickly. Rosalind understood that Fraunces was very arrogant, not just because she was already a lieutenant at a very young age, but she was arrogant because of her father and her close relationship with the Duke.

But these relationships would not work everywhere.

"Are you certain it was the Duke of Lonyth?" she asked. What bad luck!? They were just talking about the ruthless man who caused an explosion for business and now they would accidentally meet him?

But what could she do?

"Yes. The Duke saw the Lieutenant and started asking her to spend the night with him and the Lieutenant immediately exploded. She She immediately used her saber and there was an altercation with the guards. It was chaos. I had to run here to inform you. Please stop the Lieutenant. The Duke is not known for his patience."

"But the Lieutenant actually asked us to leave?" Tabatha said. "How can that be?"

"She said she said that her father will help her anyway. The most important this is for us to leave since we cannot defend ourselves. Young Madam, please help the Lieutenant. She might be strong, but the Duke has more than ten robust people with him! How could a mere woman defeat them?"

"Young Madam please save Dame Fraunces!"

"Young Madam, you might not know this, but Dame Fraunces is kind and generous. She might act like she is arrogant, but that was only because she has liked the Duke since she was younger. She cannot accept that the Duke refused to marry her. Please she is still young."

How?

Rosalind asked inwardly. How could she stop a Duke? Right now, she had no status or power. In front of the Duke, she was merely a beautiful merchant that he could force into bed with him. She sighed yet again.

This Fraunces is indeed very troublesome and naive.

"Alright. You stay here and do not come out. Never leave this carriage," Rosalind said. She wanted to leave that woman here. After all, she had no good feelings about the Lieutenant, but leaving the lieutenant would surely cause more problems for her and the Duke.

She quickly grabbed a black robe and covered her whole body. She used its hood to cover her long white hair and her face. Then she walked out of the carriage.

Luckily, there was some light and she could easily use it to her advantage. She made her way to the pub where the altercation was happening. Apparently, Fraunces wanted to buy some wine for the journey. Despite her distance, she could already hear the sound of swords and shouts.

"You dare asked me to spend the night with you!? Did you look at your face!?"

"How dare a woman say those crude things in front of me, the Duke of Lonyth!?"

"You are not the Duke yet! Your father is still alive. Are you trying to curse your father?"

"You lunatic! I never said "

Hearing the argument, Rosalind had to stop walking in order to calm herself down. Those words sound extremely childish. How could Fraunces do something like this?

Without saying another word, Rosalind found a wall and used it as a cover. Then she snapped her finger.

Illusion.

Almost immediately, everyone who was fighting stopped moving.

"Eh? What Why is it so dark?"

"Your Grace?"

"I I can't see anything!?"

Words of surprise echoed and Rosalind used this as an opportunity to approach them.

"Come with me," she whispered as she pulled Fraunces out of the pub. The two guards were already unconscious, so she chose to leave them behind. Her priority was this troublesome woman who must have chosen to work as a soldier just to get closer to Lucas.

"Rosie?" Fraunces elbowed her. "What are you Why are you here!?"

"Shhh" Rosalind harshly pulled the woman and made her follow her. The area of her illusion was only inside the pub, so the moment they walked inside, Fraunces's ability to see came back.

"What just "

"A trick Lieutenant. Let us get out of here."

"The guards."

Rosalind blinked. Was she planning to

Just as she expected, Fraunces ran back inside and used all her might to drag the two guards with them.

"Come on help me."

Rosalind was speechless. Fraunces could barely save herself, and yet she was trying to save other people? What kind of thinking did this woman have?

Despite her complaints, Rosalind helped Fraunces as she had no other choice. It's either she would help her drag two abled men or leave and leaving wasn't an option. She swallowed her grievances and saved the two men instead.

Not long after, they finally arrived at the carriage. Fraunces immediately instructed everyone to leave. Right now, they only have two carriages as they chose to leave the other two outside before coming inside the town.

"You have to "

"Why did you have to pick a fight with someone like that?" Rosalind could not help but ask. "And once you fell into trouble you immediately asked us to leave you behind. What were you thinking?"

"I " Surprised at her outburst, Fraunces forgot what she was about to ask her earlier and just turned her head away.

"You might know martial arts, but do not forget that you are still a woman. How could you fight ten men at the same time? Are you stupid or simply naive!?" Rosalind asked.

"You sound just like my mother," Fraunces grumbled. "But we are safe so we should stop talking about this matter. As for what happened inside the pub" Fraunces eyes narrowed at her. "I would like to hear an explanation, but I know you would not tell me the truth, so it is better for me not to know than hear lies."

Rosalind snorted. At least, the woman was thinking straight. She was not planning to tell Fraunces about her Blessings. She had already come up with some elaborate lies to tell her. Besides, even if it was a lie, Fraunces had no way of knowing the truth, and even if she did, her opinions simply did not matter to Rosalind.
