Chapter 329: Alive

"I Where are you going?" Rosalind asked. She was curious about it. For a few seconds, he did not say a word.

"I have to go to the walls," he answered.

Clearly, he was lying. If this was the normal days, she would have let his arm go, nod and smile then bid him goodbye. She had no right to ask him about the lies. However, a sudden courage inside her made her say, "Stay."

Rosalind blinked. She was prepared to be rejected, for him to leave the room, to leave her alone.

To her surprise, however, he stopped moving. Then he smiled. nove(l)bi(n.)com

"I I have more questions," Rosalind could not help but stutter. It almost sounded absurd and pathetic. However, she could no longer deny the fact that her attraction was growing by the day.

"Of course but I believe it is best to finish this conversation in your room where the light is a bit better."

For some reason, that statement made her blush.

How pathetic, she thought inwardly.

"How is she?" Victoria eyed Jeames, who had been guarding Dorothy's room.

"Sleeping."

"That's not what I was asking."

"She is fine. She had been praying." Jeames had a stoic expression on his face. He stood straight and proud outside of the large mahogany doors of Dorothy's room.

"Is she not allowing any visitors yet?" Victoria asked.

"Not yet."

"Yes, Madam."

"How are you? I heard that you still refuse to see anyone." Victoria said. "Is that true?"

"The Goddess did not want me to involve myself in this war. It was created by humans and the Goddess wishes for them to settle the matter unaided."

"That would mean many people will die. The overwhelming number of beasts could destroy this Empire." The two of them sat down on the nearby bed where Dorothy slept. "Your father and grandfather had been doing the healing. Some members of the seven families arrive to fight against the beasts, but it is not going well"

The humans were losing. At least that's what Martin told her. The overwhelming number of beasts that were attacking the empire was something that they have never heard of before.

Everyone was panicking. People were leaving the Empire, businesses were closing and some members of the noble households had already started showing signs of leaving this place.

They needed to save themselves!

Even her father had told her to leave the Empire and go back home. He wanted her to bring Dorothy with her. However, when she tried to tell Dorothy about this, the latter immediately refused and stated that this was the Will of the Goddess.

This caused her frustrations. She tried to convince Dorothy, but the latter just stopped talking to her about the matter.

"If that happens," Victoria held her daughter's hand. "We needed to leave this place."

Again, Dorothy said nothing in response.

"I am exhausted. Please leave the food inside. I will consume it when my body needs to," Dorothy said. "Have a good day ahead, Mother."

Hearing this, Victoria sighed. This was just like the other conversations that they have had about the matter. She got up, gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead, and then made her way out of the room. She then let Jeames close the door before she looked at the latter.

"I have heard some news," Victoria said. "About Rosalind."

"So she is alive?"

"That is not confirmed yet. However, when she vanished, a woman appeared next to the Duke. She is called Rosie. Do you think this is all a coincidence?" she asked. It had been months since that incident happened.

However, the fact that Rosalind has the Blessing of the Goddess still haunted her dreams every night. So, she decided to do something about it.
