Chapter 268: Memories

As the battle between Lucas and the beasts raged on, the smile on his face grew wider and wider. The thrill of combat was apparent on his face.

Seeing this, Rosalind pursed her lips.

This was the first time that she had witnessed him battle the beasts. The experience was both horrifying and breathtaking at the same time. She always knew he was strong, but watching him from a distance made her heart pound.

It filled her with a mixture of fear and awe.

"Ah!" Rosalind held her head when she felt a sudden stabbing pain in her temple.

"Lady Rosie?" Magda asked.

"I I am fine." She was holding both of her temples, massaging them. What was that? "I will go to the barracks," she said. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"Alright."

Rosalind started walking down the watchtower only for the pain to return. She closed her eyes and was immediately surprised by the flashes of what felt like memories that filled her head.

She could see beasts, demonic monsters, and humans.

Humans were fighting against hordes of beasts.

"Lady Rosie, do you need help?" Magda was quick to assist her. She must have noticed that Rosie had stopped walking.

"Thank you," Rosalind said. Her eyes were still closed as she tried to understand what was going on. Those things that she just saw felt like she had experienced them before. Obviously, that is not the case as she had never fought against a horde of beasts before.

Not long after, she arrived in the barracks along with Magda. Valentin and Captain Gaudy chose to stay at the walls, so it was only her and Magda inside the barracks.

"What happened? Do you need me to get a physician"

Before Magda could finish her words, the door opened, revealing a bloodied Lucas.

"What happened?" Lucas asked. His clothes and most of his face were covered with blood. Yet it seemed that he did not care about those things as he marched towards her with a worried look on his face.

He looked at Magda and said," Leave us."

"I choose to do it," Rosalind said. "And I am not planning on spending my days sitting in the tower."

"Or you could spend it with your husband."

Rosalind flinched. "About the wedding I do not think you mentioned the date and the specifics. Is there anything else that I need to do aside from trying out dresses and tasting cake?"

"You just need to bring yourself to the palace. The King will wed us."

Rosalind nodded.

"I heard that you refused to learn management and have chosen to fight for the estate?" he asked. "I have nothing against this, but seeing you like this is making me worry."

Was it because he wanted her to use her ability on other matters? Rosalind asked herself inwardly. She stared at him.

"If you do not want me to fight, then what do you want me to do?" Fighting here is better than fighting in the south.

Lucas said nothing. Instead, he took an envelope from his pocket.

"I received the letter a few days ago," he handed her the letter. "It is about Aster."

"The Lux Family?" She opened the letter and started reading the contents.

"This" Rosalind could not say a word after reading the letter.

"It took me a few days to confirm what has been happening in Aster. It seems that the letter was right. Dorothy declared herself as someone who was following the will of the Goddess. The palace is planning to call her Saintess."

"Will of the Goddess? That is absurd. I have the Blessing."

"I know. Apparently, even the Lux Family did not want to recognize her as someone who received a Blessing, but someone who was asked by the Goddess to do her bidding. Dorothy insisted that she only wanted to stay in the slums, healing the people who had been affected by the plague and she did not accept any payment. She's quickly regaining people who support her."

Rosalind lowered her gaze toward the letter. She was the one who caused this change. It was her return that triggered it.
