Chapter 10: A Wugarian Duke

Chapter 10: A Wugarian Duke

He's alive?

She narrowed her eyes and immediately turned her attention towards her stepmother who just got out of the carriage.

"I am going inside the tent," she mummered. "Stay outside and watch them."

"I understand." Milith nodded.

Once inside, she started pacing as she thought about the man that she saved on the river. Before that she met a red-eyed man, she left that man in the bushes thinking that the other men would find him and kill him. She didn't even bother to hide that man's body.

But it looked like the man survived, after all.

No. Actually, this isn't the only problem that she has now.

She thought of the man that she used her light Blessing to save..

Was it even possible that he was close to the man with red eyes? Perhaps a subordinate?

She bit her lower lips.

She can't let that man see her again!

No. She simply cannot let this happen.

But what if he wasn't with them? Her heart pounded against her chest. She was tempted to look, to make sure that he wasn't there.

Then her gaze darkened.

What if he was there!?

What if he was with them?

Then they should leave as soon as possible, she thought inwardly. Yes, they should leave.

That is the only way.

What if they decide to stay?

No. They cannot stay.

They can't stay here!

"Milith" she hissed.

"Young lady?" Milith walked inside, her brows furrowed. "We may have a problem."

"What's wrong?"

"That man "

"What man?"

"Young Lady, let's go inside," Grace said.

"What are those?" Rosalind asked, her trembling hands touched Grace's. "Tell me are they bandits? Are they here to take us away?"

"Young Lady calm down"

"Calm down!? Are they going to kill us? Are they no I cannot what about mother? Did they harm my mother?" Her voice started shaking, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Young lady "

"Please let me see my mother. I have to make sure that she is safe! Please "

Grace exerted some force, holding her down.

"Grace, what are you doing!? I want to see my mother I want to make sure that she's safe. Let me go!"

"Young Lady, listen to me! They are not here to harm us."

Rosalind froze. She frowned and gave Grace a confused look. "What are you talking about?"

"They are soldiers from another Kingdom traveling to the capital. The madam thought it would be better for us to travel together."

Rosalind still plastered a confused look on her face. "Why? Why do we need to travel with them?"

"Well it's because these people were working for someone called a Duke. You do remember what a Duke is, right?" Grace said those words slowly. It was as if she was talking to a child instead of a seventeen-year-old woman. While she tried to hide it, Rosalind could clearly sense the exhaustion in her voice.

'Good,' Rosalind thought. 'This was the only way for them to avoid her!'

"Then "

"However, the madam wanted you to know that there is no need for you to interact with them if you do not want to."

This made her sigh in relief. The madam is indeed magnanimous. Then she snickered inwardly. Magnanimous? No. This woman just didn't want the Wugarians to see her and think that the Lux Family was bullying a member of their own family.

"The madam also said she will be sending a set of new clothes for you to wear." Grace continued. "And "

"And?"

"I know the madam said that you don't have to talk to anyone of them but I just I just wanted you to know that these people came from the Wugary Kingdom."

"Wugary?" her eyes widened.

"They are dangerous. I heard that the heads that they carried were soldiers of our empire and I highly believe that the reason why they didn't touch us is because we are from the Lux Family."

Rosalind paled, accordingly. It seems that she was right. Victoria didn't want her to meet the Duke.

She smirked inwardly. Oh, mother dear.
