Chapter 204: The Fire and Wine

Chapter 204: The Fire and Wine

"I thought we were starting a fire?" Denys asked when he saw her starting to put some wine in her spatial bag.

"I am trying to protect these ones, just use the ones in the barrel to start the fire. We cannot exactly burn everything, right?"

Denys compiled without asking any questions. Although she could still feel his gaze towards her, Rosalind did not mind she simply did not care. Some of the wines in this large cellar were wines that she never heard of before!

"Where do you want me to put them?"Denys asked.

"In their carriages."

"You wanted to burn their carriage?"

"Yes," Rosalind said. "And the kitchen."

"The kitchen?"

"Where they cook the food."

"I know what a kitchen is," Denys said.

In response, Rosalind glared at him. Should she tell him that she could still remember him trying to kill her the first time they met? No, she did not want to sound petty. She might be a little petty, but she did not want to make it that obvious.

"Burn it."

"The fire will spread to the main house."

Rosalind looked at him. "They will stop it," she said. "Just prioritize their supplies."

Rosalind had so much food inside her storage, she would not have a problem giving some to the others. She was confident that she would survive in this place for months. The Countess and her people, however, were different.

Again, her expression darkened.

That Countess had the audacity to throw away her food! As retaliation, she was going to burn her food too!

"Alright," Denys complied. "Aren't you coming with me?" Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

"I am," Rosalind said, determination flashed in her eyes. This wasn't exactly stealing as she was planning to give it back to the Count, she was just trying to keep the Duke's people safe. After grabbing a few more wine bottles, she followed Denys out of the cellar and went to the carriages of the Prince and his people.

"Burn everyone's carriage," Rosalind said.

"That is the crest of Duke Moller."

"Good, burn it too."

"We are just trying to survive! How could you"

"Your Highness, please let us leave!"

The Crown Prince's smile turned wider. This was music to his ears.

"Unless one of you tells us where the Count is, then we will spare your lives!" the Crown Prince said. "As the Crown Prince, I swear by my name that I will not kill you and your family as long as you as long as you tell us where the Count is!"

The panic on the servant's faces made the Crown Prince want to laugh. In front of power, many people are indeed useless. This is what he wanted, this is what he needed.

"Your Highness, are you certain this will make them reveal themselves?" Duke Moller, who was standing next to the Crown Prince, whispered.

"Of course, do you think the Count or Leonardo will let us kill their servants?"

"What if the Duke's people stop them?"

"Oh, your Grace, how could they do that? How could they stop the owner of this estate from saving his own people?"

The Duke pursed his lips.

"What are you waiting for?" the Crown Prince said. However, before he could tell them to start killing someone, a thick cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the area where they kept their carriages. One of his soldiers ran towards him.

"Your Highness we have a problem."

"What is it?" the Crown Prince frowned.

"F Fire there is a fire. Our carriages are burning."

"What then why are you here! Go ahead and stop it!" The Crown Prince pushed the knight away from him. "Stay here and guard them!" he told the head knight before he marched towards the carriages. Just as the knight said, there was indeed a fire.

"How could it have spread that fast?" he could not help but ask. His stomach had a sinking feeling in it and he wanted to confirm something.

"We believe someone purposely burned the carriage that was carrying our supplies."

"How useless! Put it out!" the Prince said.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Everyone turned towards another soldier who was fast approaching them. Turning to look at the man, the Crown Prince did not need to ask him any questions for him to know that something else had happened. The large smoke that bellowed behind them was enough to tell them what was wrong.
