"I believe we may have a problem," Huig greeted Rosalind the moment she walked inside her room. She looked at the latter before she turned towards the door and locked it from the inside. "What is it?" "The woman that you asked me to observe was secretly preparing to leave the mansion." "Dorothy?" Rosalind lifted an eyebrow. "That woman, yes." Since the attempted kidnapping that did not happen, Huig had been calling Dorothy 'that woman' and Jeames, 'that man'. Honestly, she found it entertaining.…

Rosalind was definitely in a bad mood. It was not because she did not know what they were planning, it was because she was supposed to earn millions of gold tonight for treating Princess Isabel and the banquet changed this. Compared to earning her gold, this banquet was simply useless. She stared at her reflection. Donned in an ugly purple dress that looked too dark to be called purple, Rosalind frowned. She looked ten years older. This dress must be made for someone Victoria's age. Before the sun…

"Miss Lin is someone that the Duke knew," Mr. Montgomery said after Rosalind left. "And yet you wanted to keep this as a secret from that man?" he lifted an eyebrow, smirking. "Ah… one of these days, you will realize that me am right! That man is dangerous Pratt, you need to be careful if you want to keep a secret as large as this." "What did you want me to do, father?" Pratt asked. "I have sworn not to tell anyone about what we saw, and I will do exactly that. Do you think I would have lived this long…

Rosalind laughed. She laughed so hard, she almost fell out of her seat. Reincarnation of the Dark Lord? The Dark Lord was not dead, he was simply sealed away by the seven families. No one could kill the Dark Lord. Why would she suddenly reincarnate as one? To be fair, she was someone who was reborn, but she was not the Dark Lord. She was Rosalind Lux. "I apologize— I just— " she cleared her throat when she finally calm down. "I just… I didn't expect that it would be like this." Nor did she…

The silence inside the room was deafening, yet, all Rosalind could hear was the sound of her own heartbeat. She stared at the cup of tea in her hand as she thought of what happened earlier. The dagger vanished inside her body, but she didn't feel anything different. If anything, she felt good, better. She did not know what happened this time, but she was certain of one thing. The darkness reacted to her. In her past life, she never thought that a cursed weapon would react to her blessing. She…

Rosalind took a seat and accepted the tea that Mr. Pratt just gave her. "I will arrange everything. There is no need to worry about your security— " "We will be there," Mr. Mongomery interrupted them. "Huh? Father, I thought you were hired to guard someone traveling to the North?" "You are going to the North?" Rosalind immediately asked. "Yes. The Lux Family just hired them to escort the woman marrying the Duke of the North." "I— Isn't this supposed to be a secret?" Rosalind asked. "Ah,…

Silence filled the hallway. "Do you understand why saying something like this could get you in trouble?" Rosalind asked. "Many people would think that you do not believe in Her." Again, he said nothing in response. Instead, he shook his head. "You— Do not tell me that— " He is an unbeliever? "Is there something wrong Miss Lin?" he asked as if he did not have an idea of what she was talking about. Understanding became apparent in her eyes. "I— No— I just did not expect it." "You would…

"New wives?" Rosalind scoffed when she heard Milith's report. "Apparently, they are not going to be wives, but just concubines. They will not marry into the family and will be living in quarters that have been abandoned for years. The Madam is currently asking everyone to clean those quarters now. There are rumors that they will be sent away after giving birth." "That's cruel," Rosalind said. Yet, they already tried to do it before to her mother. However, she never expected that they would be so…

"Another woman?" Victoria almost could not believe her ears when she heard Martin's words. "Women… there will be two coming next week. Two months later, her Blessedness will send another two and— " "Women?" Victoria felt her knees turn weak. She staggered but was immediately supported by her maid, Grace. "You— you will accept another wife? You promised me— " "They will not become my wives. Father assured me that you will stay as the duchess and my one and only wife. They will only exist to…

"The North had been acting all mighty," Miss Ena Thun said as she sat down inside Federico's office. She might be an eighth-generation descendant but she had interacted with Federico for a long time because of her father's disease. Federico, and now Martin Lux, have been healing her father. "Are they looking down on the blessed ones?" she continued while casually pouring herself some wine. "The audacity of that General to act like that in front of everyone. I cannot— " she clicked her tongue before…
