Chapter 251: The Black Walls

Why would Consort Leona poison her food?

Rosalind's face turned ugly as she thought about that woman. Should she go back and teach her a lesson? Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

"I want to know more about Consort Leona," she said.

"Consort Leona is from Lonyth, the Peter Family to be exact. They are a family of merchants who became nobles because of their contributions to Lonyth," Magda answered. "This is public knowledge."

Rosalind pursed her lips. "Anything else?"

"She is the mother of Prince Steven Marlin. On a side note, there is a law that states that the Consorts are not allowed to join events or walk out of the palace. In other words, to say that the palace is their prison is an understatement." Magda shrugged. "I never understand why people made such a stupid law. How could someone think that they could put a woman like that in a cage and have them serve them forever?"

"Wasn't that something that had been decided a long time ago?" Rosalind asked.

"This has been a part of the customs of Wugari stupid ones. I always wonder why the council did not make any changes to this rule. Perhaps they just wanted to create an atmosphere that would avoid those women from creating connections inside Wugari. After all, they are not from here."

"But they came from the North. Would it matter if they are not from Wugari?" Rosalind always thought that the North was one.

She was wrong.

The North was as dangerous as the South. In this place, not just beasts lurk around every corner, people and nobles could easily swallow you if you were careless enough! She shuddered inwardly.

"Are we going straight to the gates?" Magda said.

"Yes. Miss Monoroe already prepared an article of comfortable clothing for me." Rosalind slowly closed the box. Her mood had soured. "This has poison on it. Burn it."

"Can't you just throw it away?" Magda asked.

"No. I want it burned."

Milith accepted the box and held it close to her chest.

"Discreet, Milith."

"Yes, Young Miss."

"How did you know it was poisoned?" Magda asked.

"Huig should stay here," Rosalind said. She looked around and found Huig not far away from her. The man was still acting like a ghost, even if he was no longer guarding her something that she found a little irritating.

Rosalind had wanted to talk to him in private to thank him for what he did in Aster, but she could not find him! It was as if he was hiding from her!

"Come," Rosalind said. This time, Huig compiled without asking questions. She held Huig's hand as she channeled her light Blessing towards his body. "That should last for two hours."

"That is enough time in case the beasts come here," General Lytton said. "I have already informed the generals at the other walls that you will help them out. Please take care of you"

"I can take Lady Rosie " Huig suddenly interrupted the General. "Taking a horse is quite slow."

There was silence as everyone turned their eyes to him.

"I will carry her," Huig added. "It would be quicker that way."

"No," Magda said. "It is my job to be with her all the time. I will carry her."

"No. I"

"Both of you are talking as if I am as light as cotton," Rosalind said as she approached one of the horses nearby. "You can go ahead and continue talking while I go to the other side of the wall." With that, Rosalind climbed into the horse and lightly pressed the heels of her shoes on its side, coaxing it to move forward. "I'll see you at the walls," Rosalind said.

For some reason, her intuition was telling her that someone was wrong on the other side of the wall.

Just as the bell started ringing, her horse started trotting.

"Let's go!" Rosalind said.

...

My goal is to reach chapter 300 this month!

Also, I made some edits. It's Miss Monoroe, not Morone. I am so sorry for the inconsistencies. I am in project mode this week. My exams are next week so I feel light-headed all the time.T.T

Thank you for the support and understanding.
