"Everyone was excited to meet the young duchess," General Lytton said when Lieutenant Fraunces was not able to say a word. The current atmosphere had gone cold and the General must have realized that Rosalind is not going to bend. He cleared his throat. "Shall we go inside the tent?" General Lytton uttered. "Of course," Rosalind said without removing her gaze away from the woman. She had a feeling that she had seen the woman in the past but no matter how much she thought about her name, it failed to…

"Young Duchess please mind your steps…" the General warned her as she took a step out of the carriage. It was already the dead of the night and the surroundings were already a bit dark. "Those people— " she looked at the people camping outside of the large gates. She was certain that they were not soldiers as they were too skinny. She even spotted a pregnant woman carrying a skinny child. "Ah… unbelievers." "Unbelievers?" Rosalind's expression changed. Unbelievers were people who did not…

"Then do everything to acquire an item like that," Victoria uttered, her eyes narrowed. Rosalind thought that she could just reveal her blessing to her without consequences. She thought that Victoria would not do anything to her as she was scared of what would happen if Rosalind would reveal her blessing. She had forgotten something. Victoria's maternal family. "Everything?" "Yes," Victoria uttered. "I am willing to pay anything… to get a blade that could kill a blessed one." Stealing someone's…

"It was her." Dorothy could not stop herself from shaking as she staggered. Seeing the body of three naked men in her bedroom left her shaken. For the first time, fear registered inside her. "It was Rosalind. She did this. She really wanted to bring me down. She— " Realization hit her. This wasn't just Rosalind's doing. There is no way that someone like Rosalind would be able to accomplish such a feat. It must be the Duke. The reason why Rosalind had changed so much was because of the backing of…

The Lux Family are considered very powerful in this part of the continent yet, they were doing nothing to try and pacify the rumors. Those were meant as an insult. "I wonder about these gossips too…" Of course, Federico's enemy Lachlan Blaize immediately joined in the conversation. "How could they say that the Lux Family has abandoned Miss Rosalind when she has been proven as a member of the family? Was it just because of her hair? Isn't that a little too… shallow? Does that mean that the Lux Family…

"Since Rosalind Lux is here, let her come forward and have her test the orb." Federico's right-hand man requested calmly. Despite the annoying delay, no one said anything about the inconvenience that Rosalind had caused because of the General. It seems that even the blessed ones viewed the General in a positive light— it was something that Rosalind never expected. After all, these people always saw the Northerners as barbaric. "Young Duchess go ahead and approach the orb," General Lytton uttered. She…

"General, my daughter did not mean it like that. It is just that the awakening ceremony had been delayed because we were looking for Rosalind. Please do not misunderstand my daughter's concern, " Victoria was quick to calm the situation down. "I apologize for her tone. It's just that, we receive some false reports that the house where Rosalind had been staying was in disarray. As her family, we immediately panicked. But… we are glad that she is already back." Victoria added as she took a step in front…

"What is going on?" Victoria asked as she glared at the servants. "Where is she? We came here because you told us that everything inside had been in disarray, but where is the mess!?" "Madam, there is no one in the house, and there is no mess." "What do you mean there is no mess?" Dorothy asked. "The servant earlier— " "Young miss, I am telling the truth. Everything inside is very clean. I don't understand why that man said that there was a mess inside. I believe he should be punished." Grace,…

Marie could not help but pinch her arm as she stopped herself from shaking. "I always thought that Miss Marie would be the one who would receive the blessing. It turns out that—." Dorothy had a look of worry on her face as she blinked at Marie. "I apologize Miss Marie. But please do not worry… the one who will receive the blessing will surely treat us well." Dorothy gave her a warm smile as if she was comforting her yet, Marie did not miss the mockery in her eyes. The woman was mocking her. Yet,…
