Chapter 197: Wake up!

Chapter 197: Wake up!

"What?" Rosalind's eyes widened at the shadow that suddenly appeared behind Leonardo. However, before the shadow could do anything, Fraunces appeared, a short sword in her hand.

"Move!" Fraunces pushed Leonardo inside the room, then she went inside and locked the door. "What is going on!?" Fraunces demanded. However, Rosalind had no time to answer her, she was already dragging Leonardo towards the bed.

"Those are assassins," Rosalind said. "Can you hold them off for me?"

"Someone should be guarding you! I refuse to believe that he would leave you alone!"

"He is not available," Rosalind said. Huig was somewhere else and she had not seen him since they parted ways on that cliff.

There was a crash and another man in black appeared, this time, it was inside the room. The man broke through the windows!

"We"

*Clang*

Fraunces immediately fought the assassin.

"We need to leave this room. They are after him."

"I can't," Rosalind said. "Not until he is stable. He will die from blood loss." By now, she had already started treating him.

"Then do your thing!" Fraunces said.

"What?"

"You are a sorceress! Use your dark magic to defeat them!"

Rosalind frowned. She said nothing and focused her attention on Leonardo who had already fainted. There was a large wound on his back and some defensive wounds on his arms. He must have tried to use his arms to stop the attacks. However, when he tried to run away, they were able to cut his back.

"This man should not be here. Why was he walking towards this room?" Fraunces uttered as she avoided another strike.

"They want the next Count dead," Rosalind murmured. "We need to get out of here and go to the Count's room."

"How? There" Just as Fraunces said this, another assassin appeared.

Rosalind clicked her tongue in response. She then held out her hand. Almost immediately, the assassins stopped moving.

"How would I know that? This is not my house."

Rosalind rolled her eyes. Then she approached the unconscious Leonardo and slapped his face.

"You What are you" Fraunces tried to move Leonardo away but stopped when Rosalind glared at her.

"Wake up," Rosalind said. "Your estate is in chaos." She had already healed this man, there was no reason for him not to wake up.

*PAK*

"Wake up!"

"Are you trying to kill him?"

"He is healed," Rosalind said. "This must be because of the shock." To be fair, Leonardo looked weak and a bit of a coward. She heard that the man was only good in management and had not held a sword in his life.

"Hmm."

Just as Rosalind was about to slap him again Fraunces moved the younger man away.

"How could you heal someone then you aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

"I am trying to wake him up." Rosalind had no time for this. "I can't blind them for too long. We need to get in that room as soon as possible."

As if on cue, Leonardo opened his eyes. For a few seconds, he looked confused.

"Where am I?" he asked.

"Is there another way into your father's room?" Rosalind ignored his question. A mansion like this should have one or two secret rooms and passages. She refused to believe that there was no alternative entrances to the Count's room. Moreover, this man was the next Count. She heard that he was close to his father and his father had been training him on how to manage the estate since he was a child.

Meaning, the old Count must have told him about the secrets of this house as well!

"There must be some secret way. Take us there," Rosalind ordered.

"But"

"That or your father will die," Rosalind said, coldly. "Choose."
