Chapter 203: Creating Fire

"How do you know that?" Fraunces asked, confusion apparent on her face.

"I listened."

"You just you were eavesdropping?"

Rosalind cleared her throat. "I was looking for something and I accidentally overheard their conversation."

"So, what are we going to do? They are looking for the Count to kill him. The Countess is working with them and we are stuck here without a way to leave. Are we supposed to wait for the Duke to come to save us?" Fraunces demanded.

"Are you doubting him?"

"Of course not! I know him, he is a hero! However, I am not a woman that needs to be saved."

"Right," Rosalind nodded. "Of course, you don't."

"For someone who has been through thick and thin together, you are abnormally cold. Why are you so upset?" Fraunces asked.

"We have never been through any of that."

"We have saved each other's lives, it is safe to say we have been through a lot."

Again, Rosalind nodded. She had no energy or emotion left to spare.

"What's wrong? If you are scared, you must tell us. Your sorcery is important and we"

"I am going to make that woman suffer." Rosalind declared.

"Huh?"

"That Countess," Rosalind narrowed her eyes. "I am going to make her suffer." Out of nowhere, she got up. Rosalind did not think of herself as a righteous individual, and right then, she did not have any motivation to help the Count. After all, they were not close. They had never met or seen each other, not even in her past life.

It would not make any sense for her to sacrifice everything to save him.

However that Countess really went too far this time. She actually wasted food food that Rosalind wanted to eat.

In her past life, she was not able to eat a lot of nice things because she did not want to gain weight. Meaning, she died while missing out on more than a few delicacies from both the North and the South. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"I see"

The two of them walked down the stairs and continued until they reached the main entrance of the mansion. In front of the large wooden doors were people servants. They were standing in a line, their heads lowered, their clothes crumpled.

With this in mind, Rosalind once again vanished. The next time she appeared she was already inside the room.

"Why would you surprise us like this!?" Fraunces's reaction was expected. However, Rosalind was not here for that.

"Do you know how to make explosives?"

"Explosives?"

"Things that explode?" Rosalind clarified, she was looking at Denys.

"I know what they are, Miss Rosie. What I am asking is why do you need them."

"Then you must ask me properly. Do I look like I can read minds?" she snapped back. "I have no time. Can you make explosives?"

"With the proper material, yes."

"Good. You are coming with me."

Once again, the two of them left the room.

"What materials do you need?"

"Saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal."

"I don't know"

"We can use wine to create a fire instead."

Rosalind frowned.

"Then let us create a fire," she knew that these people keep their wines in a different building. Silently, she apologized to the Count. She had not intended to destroy everything, but right now, this was the only way.

Once they arrived, she quickly realized that it would be hard to implement her plan. The wines inside this room were pretty expensive! How could she waste them by starting a fire? She would rather save them!
