Chapter 313: [Bonus Chapter]Selfishness

"What do you" before the prince could finish his words, he spotted a shiny object from Amoni. His eyes widened before he grabbed his sister and pulled her towards his embrace.

"AHHHHHHH!" Amoni's voice felt like a clap of thunder in his ears. Lyssander opened his eyes and immediately saw Amoni on the ground, a dagger not far away from him.

"You What"

"He is here to kill you," the woman said as she started checking Amoni's body.

"Are you alright?" Lyssander asked his sister.

"Y Yes but Amoni is"

"Dead," the woman answered. "We should find a place to stay, His Grace will handle that demonic beast."

"I need to be there"

"Are you stupid?" the woman asked. "You have no guards, your aid is dead and you have your sister with you. Do you think you can fight off a beast with that sword of yours?"

"I"

"Do not speak like that to my brother! He is the future King of"

"Then stay here." The woman spoke casually. Without saying anything else, she turned her back on them.

"Hey! Where where do you want us to stay?"

"Brother"

"She is right. I would not be able to defend you and myself at the same time."

"Then we leave! We still have time!"

"No. We are not leaving." Prince Lyssander shook his head. "Let's go to the barracks."

"But"

"Now, Isadora! Now!"

Seeing the two left, Rosalind shook her head. She then looked at Amoni's corpse. She did not expect that those people would actually have someone standing that close to the prince. Amoni's goal must be to kill the prince and cripple this Kingdom.

"I was able to gather rest," Rosalind heard Valentin's words. "Here"

"Thank you."

"What?" Rosalind blinked. As an unbeliever, Mathies's beliefs were different from the usual citizens of this continent.

"Mathies, what are you talking about?" Mr. Pratt asked.

"I want to know if Miss Lin could talk to beasts and control them."

"No," Rosalind answered firmly. "I cannot do that."

"Did you give it a try in the past?"

"What?" Why would she give it a try?

"I mean talking to the beasts. Have you tried it in the past?"

"Now, Mathies, Miss Lin has no reason to talk to beasts. They are dangerous creatures. Go ahead and call the others now."

"I I just thought nevermind. I apologize for my questions. I will go ahead and call the others for a meeting."

With that, Mathies left the room.

"Miss Lin, I apologize for what happened. I did not expect him to actually ask something like that."

"It is fine." Although, Rosalind was surprised to hear that question from Mathies. After all, someone who could speak to beasts and control them was unheard of.

Mr. Pratt let out a loud sigh. "Mathies has been very weird since since he met you. He has been obsessed with the idea of absorbing darkness. Lately, he had been studying beasts and cursed weapons and some banned books about some long lost history about the continent."

"That is understandable," Rosalind said. She was honestly curious about the information that Mathies had. Sadly, she was going to be very busy today.

"Anyway, thank you for the warning, Miss Lin. I do not know how to repay you"

"It is not a problem. Just please be safe. I will come back tomorrow night and perhaps help heal some mercenaries." Of course, this is not for free. Business was going to be good when there was a war like this.

Rosalind smiled inwardly.

She knew it sounded evil, and her plan had bigger repercussions for Aster and its people. Rosalind was not planning to justify her actions. This was a choice that she made to keep herself safe.

It was selfish

However, a part of her did not care.
