Chapter 300: Full and Satisfied
"How could someone be so ignorant?" Ena could not help but complain when she saw Hayle Gliss again.
"You look older," Hayle said. As always, the man was lying in his bed, naked. He was staring at the ceiling. "Did you finally meet your match?"
"My match?"
"That woman was clearly acting stupid. How could you fall for such a petty act?"
"I did not fall for an act. Clearly, she wanted to kiss the ground where I walked. You have not seen her crazy eyes as she gaped at me. She was like a child!"
"You are hopeless." He sat down and stared at her. "Who would have thought that your weakness would be someone like that?"
"She is not a weakness!" Ena hissed. "She is nothing but an ignorant fool!"
"What about the reports that we received? They clearly said she was a sorceress, a powerful one at that. Do you think the reports lie? Shall we kill the spies that we sent?"
"There were no spies! The people who said it were from the town. Do you think our spies could infiltrate the Walls of the Rothley estate?"
"Well we just have to see, right?"
Ena's eyes narrowed.
"I guess we shall see tonight."
..
Rosalind had to rub her stomach the moment she sat down inside her carriage.
"You look" Magda narrowed at her. "Satisfied."
"Oh, I am," she beamed in response. "The food was certainly good. I have no complaints."
"What about the Ena Thun?" Since it was only Rosalind who was invited, Magda had to stay outside with the carriage. This was not safe considering that Rosalind was someone from the Rothley estate. However, this had always been the rule when it came to the Blessed Families.
Slowly, the carriage started to move.
"She was boring to say the least," Rosalind beamed. "My stomach is so full," she continued rubbing her stomach. "I had no one to talk to while eating, so I ate more than usual."
Magda gave her disproving gaze. "You ate alone? What about her?"
"She had to leave."
"And you still continued eating even if the host left?"
"Is there a reason for me to stop?" Rosalind asked. "I did not force her to leave. She was not feeling well. Do you think I would let the food go to waste? Now, that is incredibly rude to the food."
Magda's jaw dropped.
"I expected you to be shaken. After all, this was your first time meeting someone of that I mean a Blessed person."
It was not Rosalind's first time, but Magda did not know this.
"I was shaken, but it did not last too long. How could you still feel that way in front of so much delicious food?"
"You really are different. I was I was prepared to help you out."
"Wait you were the one who was shaken," Rosalind teased.
"Can you blame me?"
"No. I cannot." Not many people have met someone who had received the Blessing of the Goddess. Moreover, the Blessed Families were always described as someone better than the rest. Being intimidated around them is pretty normal.
"So? What happened? Did she did she try to inquire about the Duke?"
"Oh, she did. I told her it was a little rude to talk about our private activities."
"Cough! Cough!" Magda started coughing when she heard Rosalind's words. "Did you really have to say that?"
"I was about to tell her something that would have been considered impolite, but she suddenly became unwell."
"Of course she would! Do you really think she would want to hear about your bedroom activities?" Magda looked horrified. For someone who had always seemed so calm, even in front of a monster, Magda looked as if she just heard something even more frightening than a beast tide.
"I thought she would want to hear about it when she started talking about the Duke," Rosalind shrugged.
"You You really I was so nervous for nothing!" Magda said. She looked outside and muttered some more words that can be summarized as Rosalind knowing how to embarrass other people while acting innocent.
"Thank you. I am taking that as a compliment."
"Oh. That was not a compliment," Magda said. "That was me warning myself not to talk about other stuff that might embarrass me in the future."
That made Rosalind laugh.
"Where are we going?" Magda asked.
"Back to the tower. I need to talk to Elias and Valentin."
"And that guy in the hood?" Magda asked. Since Magda did not see Atior the other night, she was surprised to see the 'man in the hood' this morning. However, she did not ask Rosalind any questions.
"Are you curious?"
"He seemed dangerous."
"She is."
"She?"
"She prefers it that way."
Magda pursed her lips. "A sorcerer."
"How did you know?"
"They have no gender. You can call them whatever it is that you prefer. There is some sort of blood lust swirling around her and it felt like she was staring at you even when she was not even looking your way."
"Mysterious," Rosalind said.
"I would say creepy. Those people always give me the creeps."
"You have met one before?"
"Once or twice. It is not exactly a rare occurrence to see one in Wugari."
"What about the people in Rothley Estate?"
"They stare but they never ask questions. They know that sorcerers fight against beasts too. In this part of the continent, living and surviving are more important than your personal preference. Many people would rather live than think about other useless things that will not help them survive."
Rosalind nodded. At least, it was not as bad as she originally thought.
"Do you plan to keep her around?" Magda asked.
"Why do you ask?"
"You seemed to be collecting people with skills."
"With skills?"
"I saw Elias play with fire literally."
"Oh."
"And that man Valentin, while always sociable, is quite smart and scheming. I know he is hiding something special."
"Very perceptive," Rosalind smiled. "I like it."
"So?"
"Indeed, I plan to keep them with me. Is that going to be a problem?"
Magda shook her head. "How about the sorcerer?"
"I will be keeping them, too."
"Them?"
"Atior said many will come."
