Chapter 302: Heroes

"Her Blessedness, when I heard that you would come tonight, I immediately asked His Grace to send me here." Rosalind was beaming as she bowed toward Ena.

"Ah, this is"

"Hayle Gliss, he is someone from the Gliss Family."

Before Hayle could say a word, Rosalind bowed toward him.

"Your Blessedness, it is a pleasure to finally meet you. I am Rosie and I am His Grace's lover. So, you are from the Gliss Family. I have"

"We are not here to talk," Hayle interrupted her.

"Your Blessedness, did I say something" Rosalind lowered her gaze. She ignored everyone's eyes. She expected that Ena would do something to try and make her show her ability. She did not think that it would be as direct as going to the walls with a relic in hand.

However, Rosalind knew that this was not the end of it.

She was waiting for Hayle to visit another gate, with another relic in his hand. This would prevent the Duke from fighting on two fronts at the same time.

They must be doing this to force Rosalind to show her abilities. Rosalind eyed Magda who was standing behind her. Before they came here, she already boosted Magda's ability so it would not be a problem if another beast tide happened tonight.

Her only concern was Lucas.

Since the other night, Lucas seemed to be very busy with something else.

"I have not seen His Grace today," Ena said. "Do you think it has something to do with your wedding?"

"I I do not know, Your Blessedness," Rosalind said bashfully. "His Grace His Grace does not really see me during the day."

Ena's eyes widened. Even Magda could not help but cough when she heard Rosalind's voice.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, You Blessedness."

"Hmmm then do you think he will come tonight?"

"He will. I am certain that he will come to the walls to fight against the beasts tonight," Rosalind said. "However, everyone here has nothing to worry about. We have two Blessed Individuals with us. The Goddess has Blessed the North with two people who have received her Blessing tonight!"

Rosalind then looked at Magda. "Do you hear that Magda? Tonight, we will finally see the strength of the people who were chosen by the Goddess to defend the North!" Rosalind increased the volume of her voice.

Her goal was pretty simple. She was going to let them show off their skills. What was the point of having them here if they were just going to let the Duke fight?

Did they think Rosalind would not have a way to make them fight?

"My Lady please wear this. The temperature has become even colder since we left the tower," Magda said.

"Oh right" Rosalind uttered. This gave her a reason to take a step away from Ena and Hayle who were standing in one of the watchtowers, looking outside the gates as if they were waiting for the beasts to come.

"My lady please wear more clothes!" Another voice said. It was one of the women working in the infirmary. "The North is naturally cold. Since your body is not yet used to it, you have to wear thicker clothes than us. Here please take this. This is something that the people from the territory had made for you."

"What?" Rosalind asked. She looked at Magda and the latter immediately shook her head. This was not a part of the plan.

"I was about to tell you about this," Magda said in a low voice. "I received word that they wanted to thank you for helping out." Magda gave her a meaningful gaze.

"This is not the time," Rosalind whispered.

"I know. Isn't this why I called you?"

"Is there a problem?" Ena, who heard the woman's voice earlier, looked at Rosalind. Earlier, when Ena and her attendants arrived, they told everyone not to give them a grand welcome. Ena emphasized that they were here to fight against the beast.

In response to this, not one of the soldiers actually chanted their names or gave them anything. There were no sounds or flowers or any extravagant food. While many soldiers were staring at them strangely, not one dared to approach them to give them a greeting.

Then out of nowhere, someone would actually do this to Rosalind!?

"The fruits and some baskets had been prepared for My Lady. It contains some snacks," another said.

Rosalind looked at Magda, she could not understand what was happening. Again, Magda shrugged as she accepted the basket full of candied fruits and other things that Rosalind could eat.

"I I did not see this earlier," Rosalind said. Was this the Duke's plan? She swallowed as she tried to look for him in the other soldiers that were near the watchtower. "Please tell them to stop it." This would only attract more attention from Ena.

"It seems that the people from the Rothley estate like you," Ena commented when she heard the commotion.

"They have been very welcoming. His Grace said that this might be because I am the first duchess of the Rothley estate."

"Is that so?"

Rosalind smiled.

"Everyone!" she said before she cleared her throat. She just had a perfect idea! This was not originally a part of the plan, but she wanted to take advantage of the current situation."This is not the time to bring gifts. I am very grateful for everything but I would also like to remind you that we are currently at war against the beasts!"

"Tonight!" Rosalind smiled. "Her Blessedness Ena Thun and His Blessedness Hayle Gliss are here to help us! Tonight, we are here to witness the ability of the ones who received the Blessing from the Goddess."

"My lady, Her Blessedness has informed everyone not to do unnecessary chanting so they would not attract the attention of the beasts," Magda pretended to inform Rosalind of something that she already knew before coming here.

"Shhhh!" Rosalind held her hand up. "There is no need to chant or praise the Goddess. We all know how we love the Goddess deep in our hearts. Tonight, we are here to see how powerful the Goddess and the Blessed Families are! Tonight, we are here to see our heroes, our saviors! Brothers and sisters in arms! Let us gather and bear witness to the wonders that our Goddess can bestow upon us!"
