Chapter 133: Bandits 1

Rosalind was lucky that she had died. Or at least that's what Rosie thought while staring at Fraunces. The woman had been staring at her for hours. Perhaps that was an exaggeration. In fact, Rosalind was just really too tired to count.

"Satisfied?" she asked Fraunces. "Dame Fraunces, I know that I am pretty but there is no need for you to stare at me like that."

"What are you?"

"A primordial beast in human's skin?" Rosalind said.

"You are not blessed. Your hair is somewhat different than those Lux people."

Rosalind nodded but did not explain anything. She turned her head away. "Thanks to you, we were not able to gather enough food," Rosalind said. "Are you prepared to give your food to the maids?"

"If you did not burn the food, we would have food by now."

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

"The Duke will surely hear about this."

"You are too childish," Rosalind said. "No wonder the Duke refused to marry you."

"You " Dame Fraunces touched the hilt of her sword. "How dare you."

"Am I speaking nonsense?"

"You do not know me."

"I " Rosalind blinked before she nodded. "Indeed. I spent my time praying for them to the goddess."

"You did what?"

"I I burned paper and prayed to the goddess every day."

"You spent years praying to someone like that?" Fraunces said.

"Whatever do you mean?" Rosalind asked. Since meeting the Duke of the North, she had already met a lot of people who does not really believe in the goddess. This was the exact opposite in her past life.

Next to the Empress and the Emperor, Rosalind always heard about the miracles that the goddess did. She slowly hated the unbelievers while she solely believed in the goddess the omnipotent goddess.

"The goddess many people in the north no longer believe in her," Fraunces said sternly. "When in the north, you should not mention this matter to the other people. Many people in the north had lost their lives in the name of the goddess and then the people from the blessed families abandoned them. If the goddess was real, she would have already removed the blessing from those people who were not doing her will, no?"

Reasonable, Rosalind thought inwardly.

"The northerners have seen too much death. They no longer believe in some random god. If anything, they only believe in themselves."

"Not even the dark lord?" Rosalind asked.

"The dark lord is a different matter. There is an entirely different religion in the northern Kingdoms that is focused on trying to find where the blessed individuals sealed the dark lord. It has been hundreds of years and they still found nothing."

"A different religion huh" Rosalind has heard of those people before. Many empires actually considered them terrorists because they tend to do some extreme things to try and kill more people in the name of the dark lord.

"The Empires had been hunting them but hunting them in the north can be very different as most of them can easily run around without a coat. They have lived in the north all their lives, their immunity to the cold is different than that of someone who came from the south."
