Chapter 304: Carry Me

"How could you let them do that?" Ena said. "Why did you stop me!?"

"The Duke is not stupid. He must have arranged the whole thing. Did you really expect that it would end there if you had acted?" Hayle Gliss uttered. He was sitting across from Ena inside the carriage. He grabbed a bottle of wine and started drinking it straight from the bottle. "Going there was a mistake. I hate that Duke! Something is different about him this time!"

"You if you knew it was a mistake then why did you not stop me!? You could have done something to stop me!"

"Why are you blaming me for something that you did? Do I have the ability to stop you?"

"You"

"The fact that the Duke was about to outsmart you in his territory was completely understandable. However, you and I could sense a sorcerer. At first, I thought you were not able to sense her because she was carrying a relic. We were mistaken. Earlier, I was able to sense that she was completely human. She cannot use the darkness. So, it must be the company that she keeps." Hayle said. "In the end, this was but a waste of time. We were warned not to touch the Duke."

Ena frowned. She looked outside. "I always hated the cold."

"And yet you came here to put your nose in other people's business. That man does not fear us. The fact that he killed those women in front of us was enough proof of that. We cannot touch the North now. First, we need to focus on the other neighboring Kingdom. The Fight in Rakha is at its peak. If you want"

"I have sent a few people to that place. There is no need for us to intervene. Unless of course, they beg us to help. Moreover, I will not set foot to that place unless they give me unlimited access to the Howling Mountains."

"I knew you would say that. Since you do not want to go, then we shall go back to the base."

"I should kill that woman," Ena's eyes narrowed. She really could not forget how Rosalind played with her. "I will kill her!"

"Then you must do it to warn the Duke. Do not be too obvious."

"I know what to do! Do you think I am an idiot?"

"Well"

"Shut your mouth!"

"I did not want to call you an idiot. But how could you actually fall for something like that? I I just could not believe it."

"You said it, I did not sense the malice that sorcerers would have. I thought she was nothing but an innocent woman that the Duke used. I wanted to know why he chose to use her. He could have used the others that he sent but he chose her. Why!?"

"That"

"Did you miss me?"

"I did not. I just thought your absence was pretty rare and I disliked it."

She heard a chuckle but she did not turn to look at his reaction. There is no need for that, she thought inwardly.

"They left a relic," the Duke said just as a loud howl filled the air.

"And?"

"Do you want to accompany me and welcome our guests before they could come here?"

"You wanted me to fight beasts?"

"Is there something wrong with that?"

Rosalind did not expect him to trust her too much.

"Do not fret, I am not overestimating your capabilities. However, I knew my own capabilities as your master. How could someone who learned fighting beasts from me be weak?"

"You" in the end, this was just because he trusts himself too much!

"Of course, we cannot forget the fact that I have the best student that any master would want to have."

"Stop it," Rosalind did not want to hear it anymore. She turned towards him.

"Hm?"

"Carry me," Rosalind ordered. "Or did you expect me to jump from this height and fall to my death?"

Maybe he actually expected her to decline, refusing to fight the beasts. That would be the only thing that could explain the surprise on his face when she asked him to carry her.

"Very well," he said. "Let us show them what you've got." Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
