Chapter 101: The Unbelievers 8

Silence filled the hallway.

"Do you understand why saying something like this could get you in trouble?" Rosalind asked. "Many people would think that you do not believe in Her."

Again, he said nothing in response. Instead, he shook his head.

"You Do not tell me that " He is an unbeliever?

"Is there something wrong Miss Lin?" he asked as if he did not have an idea of what she was talking about.

Understanding became apparent in her eyes. "I No I just did not expect it."

"You would not believe how many people in the south do not believe in the Goddess anymore," he murmured.

Hearing this, she turned to her left and right once again. Those words could get them in trouble!

"Shall we continue walking?" he smiled at her.

"Yes I just You know that this is a very dangerous matter. I would appreciate it if you refrain from talking about this to someone else." Many people would immediately judge someone who does not believe in the Goddess.

"She is a bully."

"Pardon?"

"She you know who I am talking about."

Her eyes widened but she calmed herself down. What was this man talking about?

"Until now, no one was able to completely travel this world," he said. "Sometimes, I could not help but wonder what was beyond the seas and even beyond the north. Are there monsters? Are there people? Ah Am I talking too much Miss Lin?"

She stared at his side profile as she wondered why he was telling her this. These were taboo topics and considered dangerous, even in this place.

"No. It's alright."

"Just as I expected, Miss Lin is not like those people."

"People?"

"So the Duke wanted to start the treatment as soon as possible?" she asked.

"Yes," he nodded. "That and something else."

"Something else?"

"I have a suspicion that he wanted you to treat him."

Rosalind narrowed her eyes. Of course, she already expected this.

"Are you certain that this is the right decision?" he asked. Both of them knew that this would create waves of problems for the Emperor and would eventually cause chaos inside the Empire.

"Helping people is what I do Mr. Pratt. Do you think helping people is wrong?" she countered.

"This is a different case."

"There are no different cases Mr. Pratt. They are my patients. Healing them is what I do," she said.

"Very well. When do you want me to arrange the healing?"

"My priority is Little Miss Alma once I finish healing her then I can immediately start healing the Princess."

Mr. Pratt stared at her for a long time before he sighed.

"I appreciate your help."

"It is nothing. However, I will start traveling in a few days, and I will come here every two days after that. And I would like to hire mercenaries to protect me from this treatment." Rosalind uttered.

"What do you mean?" Mr. Montgomery interrupted them. He must have already finished his argument with Mathies.

"I am a simple healer Mr. Montgomery, I cannot protect myself. We do not really know what they would do once the process is successful."

"You mean "

"I do not want to assume the worst but it is always better to be prepared. Don't you agree with me?" Healing the Princess is not the problem. Healing the Duke was.

The Duke of Duance would surely try to keep this a secret and might do something just to make sure that everyone involved will not be able to say a word about it. Literally.
