Chapter 89: Mercenaries 7

Marie could not help but pinch her arm as she stopped herself from shaking.

"I always thought that Miss Marie would be the one who would receive the blessing. It turns out that." Dorothy had a look of worry on her face as she blinked at Marie. "I apologize Miss Marie. But please do not worry the one who will receive the blessing will surely treat us well." Dorothy gave her a warm smile as if she was comforting her yet, Marie did not miss the mockery in her eyes.

The woman was mocking her.

Yet, she could not do anything to rebut her words. She gritted her teeth. Her face was still pale and she could still feel her limbs shaking from what just transpired. She then looked at her mother who fainted after her turn. Right now, some servants are escorting her mother out of the gardens towards the physician's quarters.

"Oh it seems that no one would receive the blessing " someone from behind them uttered. "Isn't it a pity?"

"There is still one," someone said.

"Miss Rosalind Lux " Federico's right-hand man said. "Please come in front of the orb."

"Isn't she the one with the black hair?"

"Why would she join the awakening?"

"I thought every one of the Lux Family had white hair?"

"I heard about this before. Let me tell you about the rumors "

Just as they expected, many people who joined the event started gossiping as they waited for Miss Rosalind's arrival.

"Please do not worry, I am sure that my sister will be here," Dorothy said, smiling at everyone. Marie immediately frowned.

"Rosalind Lux! Please come to "

"I could not believe that she would not arrive at the ceremony," Dorothy muttered. "I know that my sister, despite her black hair and different eyes, has always wanted to try the awakening."

"It is not something that many people could just try," Victoria said. "The awakening is sacred."

Silence filled the area as they continued walking. Not long after they finally arrived at the house.

Dorothy could not help but eye Jeames who was standing not far away from her. If she was right, the only thing that awaits them in the house is a letter from the one who took Rosalind.

Those people would ask the Duke of the North for five hundred thousand gold coins in exchange for Rosalind's precious life.

"Search the house," Martin instructed.

The person who told them that the house was a mess immediately opened the door only to freeze.

"Eh?"

"What is wrong?"

"This when I left the house was really a mess. But now Why was it so clean?"

Martin's face immediately turned ugly.

"Search the house! Rosalind should join the awakening ceremony today!" Rosalind might have black hair and everyone was not expecting anything from her but all of the blessed ones are here.

How could they show that they did not treat Rosalind like she was not a member of the Lux Family in front of the other families?

Martin did not want to lose face!
