Chapter 319: Your Bed or Mine?

"So it was someone who could use lightning," Rosalind said as she stared at Captain Gaudy's injury. They were burnt marks and she knew it was not from a fire. She narrowed her eyes before she touched the injury. In just a few seconds, she was able to heal the skin, making it look like it had never experienced such damage before.

"It was," Captain Gaudy said. "I saw it with my own eyes. When I heard Milith's scream I immediately ran out and I saw it the lightning from the one wearing a hood."

It was Lurea. It had to be.

Rosalind did not know what to say. Did Lurea come here to kill Milith or was she the target all along?

If she was the target then Lurea would surely come back, right?

"I understand. You may leave now," Rosalind pursed her lips before she looked at Lucas who was standing not too far away from her. "It was someone from the Thun Family."

"It was that woman," Lucas answered. "I should have killed her that time."

"She's here to kill me."

"I will accompany you all the time."

"I think that is the reason why she is not back yet. She fears you." Rosalind said as she gritted her teeth. She could feel the anger course through her blood, she could physically feel it in her body. She wanted to kill Lurea. She wanted to make the woman suffer.

"She lost her arm. I believe that might be the reason why she was not able to kill Captain Gaudy who has been a warrior all his life," Lucas said. nove(l)bi(n.)com

"I think so too."

"What do you want to do next?" Lucas asked.

"I do not ask questions when I already knew the answer." He was standing behind her. Again, he was close too close. Rosalind gulped down her nonexistent saliva. "I knew you were not alright then so I did not ask."

"I appreciate that." If he had asked her if she was alright at that time, she would have broken down and became a crying mess. "I will be alright," Rosalind said. She should not feel this emotional about someone's death, but Milith was the only thing that felt like a remnant of her past life. She was there in her past life and just like now, she died while Rosalind was not with her.

She felt his hand on his shoulder, stroking, giving her a reassuring and gentle touch. It was entertaining how he was just talking about killing everyone for the past few minutes, and now, he was giving her a touch of reassurance that everything would be alright, that she would be alright.

"The beasts have been seen around Aster," Lucas changed the subject. "It seems that the tide has begun."

"Do you know about the relics that they used to gather all those beasts?" Rosalind turned around and quickly realized their very very close proximity. Again, she tried to turn her gaze away. However, this time he held her chin and lifted it up.

Their eyes locked.

"I do know about them," he said.

"Tell me."

"What do you want to know?" he asked.

"Well" Rosalind tried to compose herself. How could someone who had been married once react like this around a man that should be younger than her? With this in mind, she maintained her composure and said, "Everything. I want to know everything about them."

Seeing her fake composure, Lucas suddenly chuckled, his deep voice sending chills down her spine.

"It will be a very long conversation. Do you want to do it in your bed? Or mine?"

"Huh?" Rosalind blinked.

Then she blinked again.
