Chapter 189: The Black Relic Stone

"I refuse," Rosalind's answer came as a surprise to the Princess.

"You refuse to be my friend?" there was a hint of disbelief in Isabel's tone. "No one would dare."

"I do." Rosalind got up. "I did not help you out of the goodness of my heart, Your Highness. It was purely business." Why would the Princess suddenly warm up to her? Rosalind refuse to believe that this was out of goodwill.

"I would like to excuse myself, Your Highness, I still have things to do," Rosalind said before she eyed Mathies who was standing not far away from her. Then she gestured for him to follow her.

"I am here"

Rosalind stopped walking when she heard the Princess's voice. She turned around and saw the Princess standing. "I am here when you change your mind," Princess Isabel said before she walked towards the attendants that were standing not too far away from her.

"Am I the only one who found that uncomfortable?" Rosalind looked at Mathies. The latter could only give her an awkward smile.

"Perhaps, she only wants a friend?"

"A friend?" Rosalind snorted. Even sisters betray each other, how could someone have real friends in this world? People would only look at the benefits of every relationship.

"You wanted to do something?" Mathies asked.

"I need food."

"Food?"

"Something that I can store in my spatial bag."

"Oh"

"And more information" Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"You should talk to Mr. Pratt about information, I am but a small physician."

"I am certain you know more than me," Rosalind said as they started walking down the stairs. "I want to keep it as discreet as possible and, although I trust Mr. Pratt, I know he has been very busy lately."

"What information would you like to know?"

"The disease?" she asked. "I am assuming that you were able to study the curse from the people that I healed. Do you know where it came from? How could a curse turn contagious?" she asked her questions rapidly. She had a suspicion that Lucas might have had something to do with this. But how?

However, in this lifetime, Rosalind made it impossible for them to discover the uses of the relics as she had purchased the majority of them.

She never thought that the relic had other purposes!

"How?" she frowned and stared at the relic. As someone who could sense darkness, she knew that the black relics were not normal relics because they contained a huge amount of darkness. Albeit impure, it was still darkness.

This was the reason why she tried to absorb the darkness from the relics that she had. It was very effective and she felt herself getting stronger, but it was not as pure as absorbing darkness from someone who had been infected by a curse.

"I think this stone reacts to a curse."

"That is" How?

"Show me your dagger."

He was talking about the cursed dagger that she absorbed. She complied out of curiosity.

"If I stab myself with the dagger"

"You will die," Rosalind took the dagger back. "I did not come here to witness you end your own life."

"I was not intending to stab myself, all I am saying is that you have to be more careful. If I accidentally stab myself with that dagger, I might die."

"Oh" Right. She just handed him the dagger. She had forgotten the fact that this dagger could make someone suffer a fate worse than death.

"No need to give it to me. You can hold it."

Mathies then held the relic closer to the dagger. They watched as the relic started to tremble until it slowly floated and shot itself toward the dagger.

Surprised, Rosalind took a step back. She thought the relic would hit her, but it did not. Instead, it stopped just in front of the dagger and disappeared.

Not long after, all of the relics around started trembling before they floated and shot toward the dagger. Then all of them disappeared.
