Chapter 350: Saintess Dorothy

"Did you have to say that?" Rosalind could not help but frown at the Duke. "Stay in bed?"

"Did I say something wrong? Should I have included your name? After all"

"I gave you food as a good gesture," Rosalind argued. She cooked him eggs and paired it with some bread as a nice gesture for giving her gold.

This was her way of thanking him.

It was not anything fancy, but it was something that she worked hard for.

Luckily, the Duke was given a very good suite room inside the palace. The room included its very own kitchen and garden. This was to give the Duke privacy and avoid accidents and possible assassinations through poison.

The Duke had his own cook that Miss Monoroe knew.

This meant that Rosalind could cook in the kitchen if she wanted to.

"Why do you think that man would want to see you?" Moreover, the one who brought the news said that the Saintess Dorothy would be accompanying the Blessed One.

The mention of Dorothy's name immediately made Rosalind curious. Why would she suddenly want to come? It was making Rosalind uncomfortable.

The sudden commotion outside of the room interrupted their conversation.

"You dare raise your sword to me?" Martin's voice was loud. It was something that Rosalind could never forget.

"That's Martin Lux," Rosalind got up. She did not know what to do. It had been a few months since she last saw her father. She did

"Calm down" the Duke reached out and held her hand. Then he grabbed a cloak and put it on her before he walked out of the room.

"I told you not to disturb me '' Lucas paused when he saw Martin with his knights confronting Denys and two of his other people. Denys already took his sword out of its sheath, his eyes cold as he glared at Martin and the trembling women behind him.

Naturally, that woman was none other than Dorothy Lux.

"Your Grace I am here to see you. Out of nowhere, your guards stopped me and threatened the Goddess of Aster. This man arrogantly pointed his sword towards the Goddess. Arrest him."

"You can try," Lucas muttered.

Clearly, his actions surprised Martin but he ignored it as he asked Denys. "Is that true?"

"I removed my sword from its sheath but I never pointed it to anyone, My Lord."

Clearly, the Duke was simply mocking them! Martin would not stand this mockery!

He was a member of the Lux Family. Someone who had received the Blessing of the Goddess.

However, he could not say a word in front of the smiling Duke.

Just the thought of it was enough to remind him of the things that he saw during the battle against the beasts.

This man might look elegant and refined, but he was someone that could kill them in a blink of an eye!

So, he was forced to lower his head as fury spread inside him.

"Your Grace, isn't this a little too inappropriate?"

"What is?" Lucas asked.

"We came with good intentions. How could you refuse to talk to us? Have you forgotten that you are still in Aster?"

Lucas' eyes narrowed on Dorothy.

An unexpected wave of pressure enveloped the room, seemingly coming out of nowhere.

Martin paled, however Dorothy did not show signs of backing down.

"Did I say something wrong?" Dorothy asked. "We only came with good intentions. Must you act like we made a mistake?"

Lucas snorted. Without saying another word he walked back to his room.

"If they insist on coming in. Kill them," Lucas muttered.

"You dare threaten us?" Martin asked. "Do you dare"

*BANG*

The door closed, leaving Martin and Dorothy outside. Both speechless at the Duke's actions.
