Chapter 200: Determination

"Something must be wrong why is his Grace not here yet?" Fraunces started pacing inside the small study where Leonardo used to hide to avoid his tutor and the Countess.

"Leonardo may I know why the Count never had any other children?" Rosalind asked out of nowhere.

"Why are you asking so many irrelevant things?" Fraunces asked. "This has nothing to do with what is happening now."

Seeing Rosalind's blank eyes, Fraunces stopped pacing and sat on the floor since this place had no chairs. The only one that it had was a wooden ladder that one could use to access the books on the tallest shelf of the library.

"I don't know" Leonardo said.

"The Count is healthy," Rosalind stated, since she had healed him she naturally knew almost everything about his body, including his ability to have more children. "Yet, he never had another one." Seeing the kind of attitude the Countess had, it was easy to assume that she wanted to have her own children because she would want them to inherit the title instead.

But she never did.

The two had been married for years and still they never had children. She looked at the Count who was peacefully resting on the floor.

"You should not be thinking about that. Instead, you should think about ways to get Denys out of the dungeons. The dungeons in the North are very harsh. They do not have heating and most prisoners just die from the cold even before they receive their punishment. They are subjected to harsh treatment too! Denys has been with"

"Did you really think he does not have the capability to escape a dungeon?" Rosalind asked. She had seen that man fight before, there was no way that he would not be able to escape this place if he really wanted to.

"I"

"I believe he received orders to stay in this place."

"What about Tabatha and the others? I am certain that they were "

"I will get them."

"Then, I will come with you."

"You must protect the Count and his heir," Rosalind countered.

"You have no ability to fight."

This man was working with Duke Moller of Lonyth!

They had met in Toorin, the town where the demonic wolves attacked.

Lucky for Rosalind, they were currently drinking some tea and wine, so a servant was there to serve them. She used the timing of the servant to sneak inside the room to try and find her cake.

No matter what, she was determined to take back what was hers!

"We need to find the Count, Caldarera," the Crown Prince said. "I have already been here for a few days. I need to go back to the palace."

"Your Highness, by now the King should have already succumbed to the poison, we just need to wait for the news of his death." Baron Teri said.

"Wait? Wait for what? Clearly, Duke Lucas is not here! Where do you think he is now?" the Crown Prince chided.

"No, that is impossible. Our spies are around the King all the time. They never noticed the Duke or anyone else that allied themselves to the King," Baron Teri reassured the Prince.

"The turbulent times that they feared are here," Crown Princess Freda said. "They refuse to show themselves now, but I am certain that they will soon come, bearing gifts to offer to the new King."

"My father is still alive, Freda. One cannot talk about the living like that."

Instead of apologizing, Freda only snickered.

"Either way, we need to find the Count and make this place ours. This is the only way for us to be safe from the Wugarians." Countess Marchiana said.

"Tsk." The Crown Prince clicked his tongue. "Those people are not part of the plan. Why did they have to come here now?"
