Rosie's Games

Chapter 301: The Plan

"So, you are going to build a house next to the tower for sorcerers?" Atior asked. When Rosalind was around, she would remove the hood that covered her face. Because of this, Magda, who was accompanying Rosalind, saw her face.

Even Magda could not help but marvel at her eyes which seemed to sparkle with different colors.

"Yes."

"You— You are going to build a house for sorcerers?" Atior asked for the second time.

"Are you deaf?" Elias chimed in. "She already said yes."

"How rude," Atior rolled her eyes.

"It was rude to keep asking questions when you already heard the answer!"

"Are they going to act like this forever?" Magda whispered to Rosalind.

"I think so, yes," Rosalind said. It seems that Atior and Elias really disliked each other.

"The Duke is going to send a few trusted workers for the new building. He said it will have at least fifteen rooms. That is massive. Like a mansion."

"It will not look like one," Rosalind said. She wanted it to be a place with only rooms on it. Like an inn. Except, each small room would be akin to a small house. The room would have its own kitchen, living room, dining room, bed, and its own toilet, and bath. However, it would not be as big as a house. Each room could only accommodate one or two people.

"We will help too," Atior said. "There is no need to worry, I can assure you that this building will be done in a month or so."

"Sorcery is very convenient, isn't it?" Elias asked.

"Jealousy is a disease, you should have a physician check your head."

"How dare you say that I am jealous!"

"The likes of you will always be jealous of those who are more powerful than you."

"More powerful? Did you really think you are more powerful than me?"

"Am I not?"

"Why don't we—"

"You two should stop acting like children," Valentin chimed in. He was massaging his temples. "You are making my head hurt. If you want to argue, then please do it outside. We are currently planning something important."

Valentin met Rosalind's eyes.

"I would like to request a room away from them. I do not want to die from too much anger."

"That will definitely happen."

"Thank you for your understanding," Valentin said. "I have yet to get some sleep since they met. As you can see, I can be very grumpy without it."

Magda snorted.

"I came because of the two Blessed Individuals that arrived in Wugari," Rosalind said. "They are not here to play around. They know about the existence of sorcery, but they tend to think that they can use the current rumors that the Duke is going to marry a sorceress, against him."

"What do you want to do?" Valentin said. "Surely, they are going to do something to try and expose you."

"I am not worried about that. His Grace will be there for me," Rosalind said. She knew that Lucas would deal with this situation with… elegance and grace. Hopefully, it would not involve more blood.

"I told him we are leaving for Rakha," Rosalind said.

"You are going to fight?"

"We are going to save the Kingdom."

"Save the Kingdom from the tide?" Atior asked as curiosity laced her voice.

"Yes."

"You wanted to become heroes?" Atior asked. "Why saved the people who did not help you when you needed one."

"Heroes?" Rosalind snorted at that. "No, Atior. We are not going to become heroes. The Duke of Wugari will be the hero. We are nothing but his trusted people. His men."

"You are planning to use him as a shield," Atior said.

"Yes. It would be easier that way. No one would ask us about our abilities when we use his name. After all, everybody knows that the Duke has a group of talented individuals around him."

"Atior is too eye-catching," Valentin said. "Please do not get me wrong, but you are very eye-catching. It is not just because you wear a cloak or that your eyes sparkle like stars. It is the air around you. Everyone here could guess that you have killed a lot in the past. People like us… I mean the ones who receive the Blessings are very sensitive to blood lust. If we can sense you, then the ones stronger than us can sense you too."

"Ah… you are right. That could become a problem," Atior said.

"You are not coming with us," Rosalind said.

"That will not happen. I vowed to serve the Goddess with my life."

Rosalind pursed her lips. She wanted Atior to stop talking about the Goddess, but it seemed that the woman was not going to listen to her.

"I am sending you to Aster."

"What?"

"To save the people… we are going to find the relic in Rakha, the one that can attract the attention of the beasts. Then, I am going to Aster with the relic. You will need to find a place to place the relic in Aster."

"What?" the four other people inside the room asked in chorus. "Are you— Are you telling us that you are going to let the beast move to the Aster Empire?"

"Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to say."

"Are you going to tell us why?" Magda asked.

"No."

"Aster is a very large Empire. They could surely withstand the tide," Valentin said. "Moreover, one of the seven Blessed Families is living inside Aster. They could easily call someone… another one of the Blessed Families with an overwhelming attack power to help them out."

"Just like the Thun and Blaize Family," Magda said, her eyes widened. "The Blaize family is at odds with the Lux Family. Meaning, the ones that they are going to call are… Ena Thun!"

That made Rosalind smile.

Her plan was actually pretty simple. josei

"You are doing this so she will leave this place alone!?" Magda asked, her eyes shining.

"Indeed," Rosalind smirked. How could Ena ignore the request of the Lux Family?
