Chapter 119: Live 7

Rosalind tilted her head. She had been drinking with Lucas for a few hours now and it seems like the alcohol had finally shown its famous effects. She was getting sleepy.

"There is a way to cure it?" she asked. "How?" They were talking about dark curses and cursed weapons. She told him about the curse that she left on Dorothy and he said that there was actually a way to heal it. How?

She had never heard of a method like that before.

"The weapon that was used to inflict the wound could be purified by the light Blessing and could be used to heal the person."

"But "

"You are underestimating the Blessing of the light too much."

She frowned. How come she had not heard of such a method in the past? Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"As I said, the Blessed families are hiding a lot from the normal population. Did you really expect them to tell the citizens all their secrets?" he snorted. "They are hiding the fact that they could heal the curse because they wanted to keep it as a secret weapon against the dark lord's people, against the ones who want to end them."

That made sense. But how come Martin did not tell her about this in the past?

Perhaps it was because they did not want her to learn everything about the Blessing? They wanted her to be dependent on them so they could continue using her. And when she suddenly lost her Blessing, they just ignored her and treated her like trash.

Irritated, she finished the wine in her glass and put it on a small table in between them.

**THUD**

"Why does that upset you?" he asked.

Why? She could not tell him the answer to that, so, she chose to change the topic instead.

"Are you not scared that beasts will walk into the encampment? The fire and the smell of meat could easily attract them," she said.

"There is no need to be frightened. You are next to me, I would not let them harm you."

She blinked. Then she blinked again. Was he jesting?

"No drunk would say that they are drunk."

She pouted.

"That look does not suit you," he said nonchalantly. "It would have worked if I did not know that you could wield the Darkness and use it to incapacitate anyone."

"You "

"You should rest. You have had enough wine for the night." He was about to leave the carriage when Rosalind suddenly pulled his arm. Rosalind expected him to fight back and use his strength to stay rooted on the spot, after all, he was obviously stronger than her.

But he did not. Instead, he let her pull him back into his seat.

His action caused her to lose her balance. She closed her eyes as she expected to fall and embarrass herself. But again, her expectations did not happen. Instead, she felt herself fall forward and then land straight into something hard.

His chest.

She opened her eyes before she froze.

"I " he was close too close, she could feel the calm beating of his heart. It was the exact opposite of her own. She took a deep breath. He smelled like a mixture of citronella, vanilla and something spicy. It was warm and sweet and comforting.

"For someone so small, I did not expect you to be this heavy," his words pulled her out of her stupor. She immediately frowned when she realized he was smirking. Again.

"Are you calling me fat?"

"I am not calling you skinny."

"I am not fat. I am perfectly normal. You only say that I am small because you are a giant," she glared at him.

"Well, this giant is your husband, so before your husband does something that husbands do to their wives, you should probably get up and let me leave this carriage. Don't you think?"
