Rosie's Games

Chapter 138: Bandits 6

Chapter 138: Bandits 6

Rosie healed another person. This time, she used her light Blessing and healed all the man's grave injuries. She left the physical wounds to heal on their own so as to not make it too obvious that the light Blessing was used. However, right now, the man was far away from dying. She just saved a life.

And this. Should have made her happier.

It didn't.

The only thing that she could think of right now was that the Duke was waiting for them at the next town. Her heart could not help but go wild every time she thought about what just transpired. She could not forget about it.

She bit her lower lip.

What would she tell him?

It was an accident, but she was certain he would not believe that. She silently reprimanded herself. Of all the things that she could think of before she teleported, she had to think of him?

Why him?

How irritating. After a few minutes, she decided to go inside the carriage as the snow was getting thicker and thicker. Once again, the temperature had gotten colder, but the cold would not have been a problem if it wasn't for that wind.

"Miss! Miss!"

Rosalind looked at Tabatha who just followed her inside the carriage.

"The Lieutenant just checked that man's condition and it seems that he has gotten better. It seems that the man will not die after all."

"Well " of course the man would not die. She had already healed most of his wounds. "Isn't that a happy occasion?" she asked.

"Well "

**BANG**

The door suddenly opened.

"Out."

"Yes, Lieutenant." Tabatha complied and the lieutenant walked inside the carriage.

"I heard you visited that man named Sheng?"

"I had to take a look. Is there a problem? I heard he has survived the most dangerous phase?"

"Survived?" the Lieutenant scoffed. "He did not just survive. All of his internal wounds have disappeared. Would you like to explain this to me?"

"Dame Fraunces, why would you ask me something like that?"

"Stop this!" Fraunces frowned. "I know it was you."

"What was me?"

"You did something" Fraunces narrowed her eyes and leaned closer. Then suddenly, she leaned back and pointed a dagger at her. "First that thing that happened at the border, then this you healed someone that was supposed to die. What are you?"

"I "

"No. That is not the right question. Who are you!? I was always suspicious of your identity. Why would the Duke personally come to escort your carriage? Who on the Goddess's name are you?"

"I am Rosie "

"You are lying. You must be" Again, she narrowed her eyes at her. For a few seconds, Rosalind's heart skipped a beat. 'Was she able to figure it out?' Rosalind could not help but asked herself.

The current Rosalind looked a little different from the previous one. However, Fraunces saw the previous Rosalind. She must have figured it out.

"A sorceress?"

"Ah?" Rosalind could not help but doubt the words that she just heard. A what? What did she say?

"A sorceress. Do not make me hurt you! Tell me! Are you one of them!?"

Rosalind opened her mouth and closed it again without saying a word. Honestly, she did not know what to say. What was she supposed to admit it or not?

"You must be did you do something to Lucas? Is that why he personally escorted you? Did you seduce him? No. That's not possible,a sorceress's dark magic would never work on him. This happened before and none of them were able to seduce him. So Did he summon you because he needs your help? That must be it! You You are actually someone that he summoned because of the problems in the North!"

"That "

"There is no need to deny it! I know Lucas, he would never let another woman get close to him. All of those who wanted to would end up dead. But he he stayed in your carriage for days. That must be it! He must be paying you to do something!"

"Please be careful with your words," Rosalind reprimanded. "Are you trying to insinuate that the Duke is working with the people who serve the Dark Lord?"

That was enough to stop Fraunces from blabbering. The woman must have realized her mistake. If the Blessed families heard that the Duke was working with sorcerers, they will immediately try to kill him. Those people hated everyone associated with the Dark Lord.

"This matter " Rosalind did not know if she should clear up the misunderstanding or not. "You should forget about this. Do not speak of these things again." Or just leave it be. At this point, Rosie was leaning towards letting the woman think that she was a sorceress. It would be very hard to explain to her that she was not actually someone like that, but someone who had received a Blessing from the Goddess. "And please put the knife down. You look stupid with it in your hand." The dagger was adorned with some useless stones. Clearly, it was just for show.

"Hmph! I am not going to kill you because you saved me in Nanorvik from Duke Lonyth, but does the Duke know about you? Is this why he asked someone like me to escort you?"

"Someone like you?" Rosalind wanted to laugh.

"I am a lieutenant. Why do I have to escort a mere merchant? If you are not someone important then the Duke would not have let someone like me escort you."

Rosalind felt like she is going to have a headache from talking to this woman. It was truly making her speechless.

"Since you do not want to say it, I am going to assume that he knows and that he did not want you to tell anyone about it." Fraunces gave her a smug smile. The fire in the woman's eyes was especially noticeable. Rosalind could not help but wonder what went on in that woman's head.

"Then, I will leave it at that. I will not mention this thing again." With that, Fraunces left the carriage without saying another word. Rosalind could not help but sigh. This misunderstanding might become a problem soon. She needed to talk to the Duke about it.
