Chapter 283: Deadly Stain With Tint

"What was that all about?" Mr. Pratt asked when the Duke and his daughter left.

"I have no idea." Rosalind shrugged.

"Ah it seems that the Princess is thinking too much," Mr. Pratt said. "Shall we discuss the rest in my study?"

"Of course," Rosalind beamed. She was about to become a very wealthy woman.

"How was Alma and Madam Lucilla?" Rosalind asked as they started walking towards Mr. Pratt's study.

"She is doing very well. All thanks to you. She has been asking her mother to come back to see you. Perhaps one day, I will agree once everything is safe."

"The war at the borders of Rakha was something that I never expected to happen." Mr. Pratt continued.

"Ha! Wars happen all the time! It is one big business!" Mr. Montgomery said. "Speaking of business me actually have something that me wanted to show you, Miss Lin."

"Father, can we do this later? Miss Lin still needed to accept her gold."

"What me have is more important than gold."

"What?" Mr. Pratt said. He immediately made sure to lock the door of the study behind them. "What are you talking about?"

"Well, Mathies, show her go on"

Mathies who had been silent since earlier immediately nodded and handed Rosalind a cloth.

"What is this?" Rosalind frowned. "A cursed weapon?"

"Open it. As much as me would like to touch it we cannot. The last person who tried to touch it suffered from burned skin. It was not a pleasant sight."

"Oh" Rosalind opened the cloth that was carelessly used to wrap around a long object. "An arrow?" she touched the old and rusty arrow that had a shaft made of dark metal. She could feel a thick curse inside the arrow.

"What a sinister curse."

'All deadly stain with tint'

'A whisper in the night'

Just as everyone inside the room had expected, the arrow vanished too. Then, Rosalind felt pain in her hand. She did not need to see to know that it was another tattoo.

She had absorbed the arrow just like how she absorbed the dagger.

"That Me thought that Miss Lin could use it to become more powerful in the future. Instead of letting it go to the hands of the wrong person. Me thought it would be best to give it to you so you can use it in the future."

Rosalind said nothing. The things that she saw this time were different from the things that she had seen when she absorbed the dagger.

"Thank you," Rosalind said.

"You look pale. Do you need to rest?" Mr. Pratt eyed his father-in-law and Mathies. The three of them saw when Rosalind accidentally absorbed the dagger. So, they did not act so surprised this time. However, the three men still could not hide the fascination in their eyes.

It was as if they were reading each other's thoughts.

"I can prepare a room for Miss Lin and"

"Food," Rosalind said. Her throat felt so dry and her stomach was now grumbling as if she had not just eaten something with Lucas. This was the effect of using her Blessing. She needed to be more mindful of this and bring food next time.

"I do not need to rest, I need food," she added. If only, she could find a way to bring food in her spatial bag. Of course, she chose to push this out of her head and tackle the elephant in the room.

"Of course, let me call some servants."

Rosalind nodded. She took a seat and examined her hands. Then she thought of the arrow.

Almost immediately it appeared in her hand.

What could this possibly mean? Rosalind thought.

Just as she was about to hide it back, the window opened revealing Lucas in a mask.

"Your Your Grace" Mr. Pratt looked just as surprised as everyone else. However, Lucas ignored everyone instead, he looked at Rosalind and the arrow in her hand.
