"The temperature is going to be colder than last night," one of the guards, who was keeping watch tonight, said. "Luckily, we have enough wood for the fire. One of the guards glanced at the carriage where Miss Rosie had been staying. Earlier, they were instructed to stop putting wood in that carriage. He could not help but wonder if the woman staying in it would survive the night. "I heard she's used to the South and this is her first time traveling to the North." "The temperature in the South is…

Bullying. In her past life, Rosalind had experienced so much bullying that she considered ending her life. She had been bullied by her maids and by the other members of the Lux Family. However, this changed because of Dorothy. The bullying only stopped when she discovered Rosalind's Blessing. At that time, she thought Dorothy was the one who told everyone not to bully her out of love. Now, she knew it was because Dorothy wanted Rosalind to owe her. And well… she succeeded. Still, she could not…

"How is she?" the Duke immediately asked when they saw Rosalind walk inside the room he and Pratt were sitting in. "Better, she is currently asleep now. I will do another treatment after two weeks." "Two weeks? I thought it would be weekly? What about her— I mean the pain?" "She will not feel any pain for the next two weeks." "Is that true?" "Yes." 'Then— when will the treatments end?" Slowly, Rosalind started explaining everything to the anxious Duke. "The treatment has been successful…

"There is no need to worry about the organization," Mr. Pratt said. "All you need to think about is your legs." "You— Do you understand what you are saying right now?" "I do. The organization will stand with Miss Lin and… if the Duke chose to support us, we will do our best to support the Duke in his future endeavors too." The Duke frowned. "I understand the Duke's hesitation." Mr. Pratt said. "But the Empire has changed. Everything is slowly changing. The Blessed ones have become… different.…

The Duke's action came as a surprise to Rosalind. She had never heard the Duke… do anything like this, even in her past life. The Duke of Duance, despite his current inability to walk, never bowed his head, not even to the Emperor. She frowned and just stared at the man. Just like the princess, the Duke had gotten skinnier, his cheekbones became even more prominent, and his eyes deeper. He looked like someone who haven't had any sleep for the past twenty-four hours or more. Then she smiled inwardly.…

"How could someone be so cruel!?" Rosie stood in front of the lieutenant. "I did not expect that someone would attempt to kill the captain just as we arrived. To think that such a young man would have enemies— " her eyes were teary as she lowered her head. "We have been doing our best to investigate the matter. However, we would like to thank the Young Miss for helping the captain. We wish that we had even more gold to give the Young Miss but—" "I did not do it for the gold," Rosie smiled. "In…

"Miss Rosie is currently sleeping," the female merchant announced when Raulio asked to speak to Rosie. "You might not know this, but by absorbing the curse, the Young Miss is bound to suffer. Did you expect everything to be complimentary? Some payments must be made!" Raulio looked at the strict-looking woman. "But this is urgent…" "Nothing is more urgent than the health of our Young Miss!" Raulio could not help but sigh. It had been two hours since Rosie had healed their captain, and right now,…

"Not even the people who received the Blessing of the Goddess could heal something like this," one of the soldiers said. "Why would you allow her to go near the young captain?" "Isn't it obvious? It was the young captain who agreed to her request!" "Aigo! Even in this situation, the young captain is still thinking of sleeping with a woman?" "How could he not? Did you see her face when she fainted? She was a beauty!" "An absolute beauty." "I have never seen someone so beautiful!" "Hey, her hair…

"Young Miss, please do not leave your rooms, we are still currently looking for the culprit. We are— " "But what about the captain?" Rosalind blinked at the soldier guarding her door. "It has been a few hours since he started screaming and— it is making me worry. What is happening?" "The captain is currently in pain because of the wound that he sustained earlier." Rosalind bit her lower lip. "Then may I see him?" "I'm afraid that we cannot let anyone see him now. It is too dangerous. We are…

"What? No. Of course not— I just— " The captain, who was always good with women, started to stutter. "I just— " Even Raulio, who was standing not that far from them, could not help but feel like something inside the captain's brain had stopped working. "The permits that you have shown me, I still need a bit of time to verify them." "Is that so?" Rosie's perfectly carved eyebrows furrowed, emphasizing the beautifully drawn tattoo in between her brows. Yet, this was not enough to stop the fact that…
