Rosie's Games

Chapter 241: Sorcerer

"We should probably leave," Rosalind whispered towards Magda who was sitting on the walls. While still invisible, Rosalind could feel everyone's gaze toward her. Since she helped Magda and Huig, the soldiers were looking at her with mixed reactions on their faces.

Some were astonished, some were frightened, and then some were angry, and weirdly enough, she could feel some soldiers worshiping eyes.

"This should be the first time they have laid eyes on a sorcerer." Magda used her forearm to wipe the remaining black blood on her forehead. "We have heard of extremely powerful sorcerers capable of bending reality to kill people. However, we never heard of someone willing to save people. You should understand their fascination and fear."

"Sorcerers are fabled dark creatures that had been serving the Dark Lord," Huig said behind her. "While everyone has been aware that they exist, a sighting is very rare."

"I guess we are even now," Rosalind could not help but smile. Just like Magda, Huig was also a mess. He looked like he had been fighting for days just from the large dark bags under his eyes.

Huig said nothing. Instead, he just shrugged and started walking away.

"I heard you brought someone against his Grace's orders?"

A loud voice interrupted Rosalind's conversation with Magda. She turned around and saw General Lytton walking towards them. Next to him was Lieutenant Bohan, from the famed family of assassins.

"General," Magda got up and nodded towards the General.

"I am going to assume she is here?" General Lytton asked.

"She is."

"I will not force her to show herself. However, I would like her to know that I am incredibly grateful for what happened."

"Let us not talk here," Rosalind answered. "Is there some place—"

"Follow me," Magda said as she led the group into one of the houses near the walls. Once inside, Rosalind immediately revealed herself.

"General—"

"Lady Rosie…" General Lytton nodded. The general recognized her. "Thank you for—"

"There is something more about this matter," Rosalind said. "I believe the beasts will come again tonight."

"What?"

"That beast came here because they wanted to destroy the walls."

"You think so?" Magda asked.

"There is no other reason why they would act like this. The beasts seemed erratic and unhinged," Rosalind explained.

"Is that right?" General Lytton asked Magda.

"Yes. For some reason, they did not even eat the fallen soldier's body and rushed towards the gates. They only fell back when the Demonic King was defeated."

"What could be the reason why they would act like that?" General Lytton said.

"The tide," Rosalind said. She might not be an expert in everything about beasts, but she had studied them before. Silence followed her words. She looked at everyone else in the room as their faces turned grim. "The beast tide is here."

"I knew that it was coming, but this was very—"

"Does this mean that Cirid has fallen?" Magda asked.

"Perhaps. They are facing both sea beasts and the beasts from the mountains. The numbers are overwhelming," General Lytton said. "This means that they will come back tonight."

"We barely survived the first night," Magda said. "The Duke is not in Wugari. It is only me and Huig."

"I can make you stronger," Rosalind said as she looked at the General and Lieutenant Bohan. "I can make everyone else in this room faster and stronger. Perhaps we can even pick a few soldiers to join you."

"You can— How is that possible?" Magda said. "I have heard that sorcerers are—"

"Some questions are not meant to be asked," Rosalind said. She was almost certain that this was the first time that they heard about a sorcerer that would help strengthen other people. Sorcerers were known to be very selfish people who only wanted to grow stronger. While they do not involve themselves in mundane matters, they sometimes came to the North to fight against the beasts, but they were mostly doing this to test a new ability that they had gained.

It had always been like this.

Those sorcerers who accepted money to curse people or kill people were different. They were someone that exchanged favors with favors and were known for their sinister methods. As long as you could give them what they wanted, they would do whatever it was that you asked of them. Again, everyone saw sorcerers as evil and dark.

"How many?" General Lytton asked.

"I can do five every hour," Rosalind said. She had done something like this in her past life so she was very confident in her skills. When it came to enhancing people's abilities and talents, the light Blessing was the best out there. There was no type of sorcery that could achieve such a feat.

**BANG**

"Fraunces?" General Lytton frowned at the woman who barged into the room.

"I knew she would be here."

"We are—"

"She should be in the tower with her guard, not here."

"Fraunces, we are currently discussing some important matters," General Lytton uttered. "You may leave."

"Uncle, this woman is not supposed to be here. She does not have that kind of authority yet. Instead of making me leave, why don't you ask her guard to escort her back to the tower?"

"I do not know where this aggression is coming from," General Lytton said. "But I do not like it."

"Uncle—"

"You are not even assigned to these walls. Go back to where you are supposed to be."

Fraunces glared at Rosalind before she left in a huff.

"Something tells me that she is not done," Magda said. josei

"She had been warned," Rosalind answered. Lucas had already told her not to bother Rosalind, but she refused to listen. Was it because she thought this was her territory?

'Funny,' Rosalind thought inwardly.

"So five people?"

"Yes, but it would probably last for thirty minutes or so," Rosalind said. "Huig and Magda lasted longer because of their physical abilities. A normal soldier would be able to have it for thirty minutes at most."

"And you can do it every hour?"

Rosalind nodded. She could do more, but she did not want to reveal anything suspicious right now. Just as they started discussing the details of the plan, one of General Lytton's soldiers walked in.

"General, the messenger of the King is here to talk to Lady Rosie."

....

General Lytton and Bohan appeared in the earlier chapters. He was supposed to escort her back to Wugari from Aster Empire. Thank you for the support and votes!
