Chapter 160: Little Kitten 2
Perhaps that was true.
Perhaps she had gotten stronger this time, however, she didn't understand how it happened. Was it just because of that incident on the cliff? Or was it because of that crown?
The Duke had already left for a few minutes and yet she still could not stop herself from thinking about the words that he said.
She closed her eyes and once again recalled the memories that she saw. For some reason, everything felt so vivid. It was as if she was there watching everything that transpired in front of her as it happened.
This was not the first time that she had done something like this, but it was the first time she decided to take a closer look at the small details in the vision.
Strangely enough, the place before her was not surrounded by snow. In fact, it was the opposite. The day felt hot, the house was constructed from wood, its roof made of hay and other materials that could not be found in the North.
She thought of the villages and the tribes that could be found in the North. It seems that she was wrong. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
The clothes were also not very suitable for people who spent most of their time in the snow and cold. In fact, their clothes looked like they were living in a hot place. The woman and men were using some sort of animal skin to cover their private parts, and even more of them were wearing small clothing.
Their skins were not as pale as those that lived in the North for a long time and and the language that they spoke was not something that she had heard in the past.
Just what is going on? When did this happen?
She tried to look at the soldiers that were attempting to tie up some children, but for some reason, she could not make out their faces. They looked blurred.
Was it because the one who was showing her this could not recall their faces? In the end, Rosalind sighed.
"Miss!"
Rosalind jolted in her seat when she heard Tabatha's voice.
"Miss, there is a problem." Tabatha walked inside her carriage without even waiting for her approval. Right then and there, Rosalind could hear the other people's panic voices outside.
"What?" she immediately noticed Tabatha's pale expression.
"Beasts"
"We are surrounded by nothing but trees and beasts and yet you want to go to where the trees are the thickest?" Dame Fraunces blurted out. However, she must have realized that talking was a mistake as she snorted and turned her head away. Then she and her horse moved closer to where the soldiers were still fighting the tigers.
"Let me accompany you."
Rosalind nodded. At least the Duke did not stop her.
"Those are demonic tigers. They do not like to stay together and usually travel by twos or threes," the Duke explained as they moved closer to the trees.
"Hmmm," again, Rosalind nodded. Then she stopped walking.
"Did you hear that?" she asked. Almost immediately she heard him take his sword out of its sheath. "That " Was that a growl? She wasn't too sure,so she looked at him to confirm.
Again, she heard another growl but this time, she was quick to realize that it was not a growl but a whimper. She did not hesitate to walk into the forest and follow the sound, the Duke followed behind her without making any noise.
"That is " Rosalind stopped walking when she found the source of the sound. It was a small cat.
A small red cat licking the body of a large demonic tiger.
"Let me end it," the Duke said. Before she could stop him, he was already moving toward the large demonic tiger.
"Wait!" Rosalind panicked. Why would the Duke kill the small tiger?
To her surprise, the man did not kill the small tiger but the large demonic tiger instead. "It's been suffering. Someone injured it," The Duke explained. "It was about to give birth so it was weak. Those two tigers from earlier must be her younglings." The Duke continued.
Rosalind only nodded as she approached the small red tiger. However, just as she was about to touch it, she felt a suffocating feeling in her chest.
Something was coming, she thought as she looked into the deeper part of the forest.
Something was coming from the deepest part of the woods and it was coming for them!
