"We have no problem staying outside," Lucas said. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

"Then it is not a problem. We will take turns in guarding the other tents." Valentin maintained a kind smile on his face.

"Uh what about us? What can we do to help?" Sofia suddenly butted in.

"Lady Sofia, please go back to your tent. There is no need for you to be in here."

"But"

"If you want to fight, then why don't you stay here?" Elias said. He was lying down on a nearby branch. He was using his palms as pillows while staring at the starless sky. "If you want to die so badly, you can go ahead and walk away from the encampment and lure some beast our way. Isn't that what you are good at?"

"I"

"Will you stop being mean to the lady?" the woman standing next to Sofia said. Her name is Enika and she was Sofia's maid.

"Mean?" Elias snorted. "This is me being kind. After all, your Ladyship almost got us killed."

"She did not mean it!"

"She was being stupid and being stupid is a sin!"

"You"

"Alright, that is enough. We cannot exactly show our new guests some of our personal issues, right?" Valentin immediately stepped up, trying to calm the situation down. "The first watch will be Elias and Lucas, then I will be watching with Miss Rosie. Does that sound alright?"

"Yes, it does." Rosie smiled as she leaned against a nearby tree. Next to her was Lucas.

Lucas said he would scout the area and Elias chose to stay on the branch not too far away from Rosalind's.

After a few minutes of pure silence, Rosalind heard the sound of water a drop of water.

She narrowed, her senses turned alert. Then slowly, her body that was lying down on the hammock turned into a black mist. She reappeared a few meters away from the tree.

Before she could analyze her surroundings, she felt a sudden danger from behind her. She ducked on instinct just as a sharp dagger was about to hit her. Once again, she disappeared using her mist this time, she vanished or at least that was what she wanted Valentin to think.

The training with the Duke seemed to give her good results as now, she could easily switch between her Blessings. Using both the dark and light Blessings so easily was something that she found hard to do in the past.

"Show yourself!" Valentin hissed. A wall of water suddenly appeared around his body. He must have thought that she would attack him.

"I am not here to harm you," Rosalind answered. "If that was my goal, I would not have told you what I know."

"What do you know?" Valentin's eyes were sharp, his jaw clenched as he looked around him. "Show yourself!"

"For you to pierce me with that water spear?" Rosalind snorted. "You must be out of your mind."

"Fine!" Valentin said. Still, he did not drop the walls surrounding him.

"If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it while you were asleep. There was no need for me to reveal myself," Rosalind said. She knew that this man was smart enough to understand the point that she was making.

"Fair enough. Show yourself. I cannot drop the only thing that is defending me from your attack."

Rosalind let out a sigh. Then she showed herself.

She was standing not far away from him as she tilted her gaze and smiled at Valentin.
