Chapter 269: Good At Running

Chapter 269: Good At Running

"So, she's healing people?" Rosalind asked for the umpteenth time. This should not bother her as much as it does. After all, she had already escaped the Lux Family. She was safe.

"Yes. That's what the report said. Her wedding with that man from the Delibar family did not go through, and she chose to heal the less fortunate people. She is not even accepting the requests of the nobles."

"That's strange," Rosalind said. She was the one who received the Blessing. How was that even possible?

"There were things that our people in Aster spoke of. However, we cannot confirm this matter, as these are mere rumors."

"What is it?"

"Victoria and her desperation to help her daughter led her to seek some sorcerers."

"Sorcerers?" Rosalind bit her lower lip. She had never heard of a sorcerer that could heal. In her past life, if a sorcerer like that existed, then the plague would not have happened.

Their conversation was interrupted when Denys, along with one other guard, appeared and requested to speak to the Duke about something urgent.

"You can speak Denys. She is the duchess of the Rothley Family. She ought to hear everything about the territory." Lucas said.

Denys nodded. "It seems that the plague is here, Your Grace. Just today, we found four people infected with it. They are from Cirid and Lonyth," Denys said. Since Cirid had been devastated by the beasts and Lonyth by that explosion, many people decided to seek refuge in Wugari.

These people were living in the north for centuries. They simply did not want to leave this place.

Because of this, the number of people arriving every single day increased.

Luckily, the King of Wugari seemed to have already prepared for the situation. He was easily able to provide housing and a week's worth of food for the refugees as long as they start working for the crown.

However, this brought another issue.

The plague.

They had no way of knowing which one had it before it was already too late.

Rosalind met the Duke's eyes.

"It can wait," Lucas said. He must have a way of knowing what she was thinking. "You are exhausted. You cannot heal them now."

"The longer we wait, the more people will get affected. Right now, four people are already showing symptoms, but these people have already interacted with others. We need to start treating people now and ask everyone who had interactions with the four patients to stay in their houses." Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

"I am going to heal them," Rosalind looked at Lucas.

"I will be staying with you."

She nodded. She did not want to start another argument. By now, she knew that this man could be very stubborn.

So, Rosalind immediately started healing the four people.

"Do not over-exhaust yourself," Lucas warned her. Then he stood by her side and watched her heal the sick. After almost an hour, Rosalind finally finished healing the four of them. She got up.

Suddenly, Lucas carried her like a princess.

"You What are you doing?" she asked. She just had a headache! It was not going to stop her from walking!

Instead of giving her an answer, he walked out of the place and gave Denys more instructions about the people who caught the plague.

Then, he walked towards the carriage and immediately instructed the coachman to leave this place.

"You can put me down," Rosalind said awkwardly. Even if they were already in the carriage, he was still carrying her like a small child. She was safely nestled in his lap.

"Stop complaining and sleep," Lucas said.

"Really, I am not that tired. I can even"

"Run?" he interrupted her. Rosalind's eyes widened. Guilt flashed in her eyes.

"I did not mean that."

"I thought that was what you wanted to say. After all, it has been proven that you are quite good at running."

Rosalind cleared her throat. Clearly, he was talking about what had happened earlier. "I am sleeping," she muttered.

Is it possible for the ground to swallow her up at this very moment?

I would like to apologize for the lack of chapters. I am going to write more once I feel better.
