Chapter 281: Earning More Gold

"Dorothy Lux. I am not exactly surprised that you would want to know more about that woman." Mr. Pratt said when Rosaind expressed her interest in Dorothy's new skill. "She married the young Delibar then suddenly, they sent a divorce. Since the marriage had yet to be consummated, the divorce was granted. Since then, Dorothy Lux spends her time healing the poor and the people who need her help in the slums. She has refused to go back to the mansion or even see the Emperor. She just stays there."

"In the slums?"

"Yes. There are rumors that a temple will be built just for her," Mathies said. "I tried to visit the site and obviously tried my best to see her. However, she is not allowing any visitors inside. Moreover, her face and her body are also covered by a white cloth. It is very strange, but many say that this is the will of the Goddess."

"Will of the Goddess?" Rosalind frowned. To make Dorothy a healer?

"Yes. The Lux Family is saying that this is the will of the Goddess. Federico Lux seems to show the other Blessed families that Dorothy is not a Blessed One, but rather someone who is following the will of the Goddess," Mr. Pratt said.

Now, why would that be? Rosalind could not help but ask.

Federico had always been about the prestige of the Lux Family. He would never do something that would ruin the family name. This could be a chance for the Lux Family to recover from the embarrassment that they experienced because of the failed Awakening. Why would he suddenly change and tell a different narrative from the previous one that he seemed to love so much?

She could only think of one thing.

"Are you certain that it is Dorothy Lux?"

"Well" Mr. Pratt and Mathies looked at each other. "Is there a reason for us to doubt her identity?" Mr. Pratt asked.

"You are right," Rosalind said. There was no reason for them to doubt Dorothy's identity. However, she had all the reasons in the world to think that way. If that was not the real Dorothy, then where was the real one? Did they find someone to replace her?

"Ah, it is a good thing that you are here, the Duke has been asking about you. I already summoned him when I noticed that you used your device."

"Good," Rosalind nodded. For now, she was going to earn more gold coins.

"Shall I escort you to the drawing room for some tea?" Mathies asked. "I mean, while we wait for the Duke of Duance."

"Ah" Rosalind nodded. It seems that Mr. Pratt had some visitors.

**BANG**

"Yes. Only the Blaize Family sent some people to fight against the beasts. The others seemed to be busy or ill. So, the Royal Family were forced to hire some mercenaries to help them. Just like in Cirid."

"I did not expect that he would fight against beasts."

"He wanted to train everyone," Mathies said. "There have been a lot of problems lately and he wanted to train both our bodies and minds to handle anything that was thrown our way."

"That is a wise decision. So you have been to Rakha?" Rosalind asked.

"Yes."

"And?"

"Without the help of the other members of the Blessed families, Rakha might fall very soon."

Rosalind frowned. She thought of the relic that Clinton was holding. Lucas said that same relic might be the reason why Cirid fell. This meant that there was a huge possibility that Rakha had the same relic too.

If that is the case then should she use this as an opportunity to earn more money?

After a few minutes, there was a knock in the door and two knights opened it, letting the Duke of Duance in. Next to him was Mr. Pratt.

"Miss Lin" the Duke greeted.

"Your Grace, you look ten years younger than the last time we saw each other," Rosalind blurted out without thinking. She was telling the truth. Right now, the Duke looked healthier since the last time that they met. She wondered if this was the effect of what she did.

"Ah it seems that I need to put more of those things in my face to hide my real complexion," the Duke smiled. "Where is Isabel? Here you are what are you doing?"

Rosalind lifted an eyebrow when she saw Princess Isabel walk in. The Princess head was lowered but it was pretty obvious that she was blushing.

"Please forgive my daughter. She has been very excited to talk to Miss Lin. When she heard that you were coming, she literally jumped out of her bed and screamed."

"Father! How could you say something so embarrassing!?" Princess Isabel said as she blinked towards Rosalind. In response, Rosalind gave an awkward laugh. What is going on here? Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
