Chapter 291: Training 1

"The beast tide stopped after that night," Magda commented just as they arrived at the walls that directly faced the northern area. Usually, the locals refer to this area as the Beast Lands.

"Isn't that great news?" Rosalind asked.

"Yes, but I heard that the one in Cirid was terrible. So, I am wondering if it was because the Duke personally dealt with the one in Wugari. Do you think the people will dislike him because he refused to help Cirid?" Magda asked.

"He did not refuse to help them. Cirid refused his help." Or at least that's what Rosalind had gathered by listening to the Duke's words.

"My Lady. Miss Magda" One of the knights bowed toward them.

"What is going on?" Rosalind asked.

"Everyone heard about what you did. They know you can heal too," Magda answered.

"Oh." Rosalind was now standing at the watchtower waiting for Lucas to arrive. Looking down, she could still see a few beasts trying to approach the wall, but the soldiers were easily killing them. Moreover, it was not as bloody as it was during the time when the tide happened.

"My Lady"

Rosalind looked towards the man who just bowed toward her.

"I am certain that this is the first time we met. My name is Jordan. I hailed from Cirid."

To Rosalind's surprise, Jordan took her hand and tried to kiss it.

"I do not remember giving permission for the Prince of Cirid to come to the walls," Lucas's words interrupted him. This allowed Rosalind to take her hand back.

"Your Grace"

"Your Highness" Lucas nodded. "I heard that you sustained some very critical injuries during the war. I did not expect you to survive at all," Lucas said bluntly.

"Your Grace must have heard wrong. It was but a scratch, however, my father insisted that I leave Cirid. I tried to protest, but he threatened to end his life if I stayed."

"You should have stayed," Lucas said.

Without saying another word, Lucas approached Rosalind, pulled her closer to him, then the two of them jumped outside of the walls.

"You really are something." Rosalind could not help but say as she shook her head. She was actually enjoying the show! Yet, this man had to end it and leave.

This was not normal at all! Lucas should have stayed and insulted them.

"Those people abandoned their own Kingdom for their personal safety. If I were the King, I would never accept them."

"I did not know that."

"The Prince pretended to have some sort of a wound to be able to leave Cirid and so had his sister. They safely left their Kingdom, leaving their people behind."

Rosalind said nothing. It seemed that Lucas was not exactly as cold-blooded as the others describe him to be.

"Why would the King send them here?" They could have chosen another territory but instead, they had to come here, knowing that the Duke disliked them.

"They begged him too. As for their motives, I cannot wait to find out." The two of them landed in a clearing nestled among the snowdrifts.

"Hit the snow with your dark mist," he said.

"Huh?"

"Think of it as a fireball or a spear and hit the snow with your mists," Lucas said. Then, without saying another word, he jumped and left her alone in the clearing.

Almost immediately, a loud howl echoed. Snarls and growls filled the air.

Rosalind shivered inwardly.

"You" she gritted her teeth. "How could you just leave me here!?"
