However, Valentin's laughter halted when Rosalind suddenly revealed a dagger. Valentin jumped up and quickly took a few steps back. Surprisingly, the table and tea seat stayed rooted in the snow.
"You that" A cursed weapon! Why was she where did it co from?
"There is a disease in the south. It has sothing to do with curses and the Lux Family cannot heal it. It is becoming a pandemic."
"What?"
"If you have been in the North for so long, then I am guessing you do not know what has been happening in the South. I suggest you send soone to confirm."
"And what does that have to do with us?" he asked.
"I can heal all curses," Rosie said.
"Impossible."
"I can show you. I think Captain"
"Don't you dare touch them!" Valentin yelled, his eyes narrowed at Rosie. For so reason, he had a bad feeling about this woman. How could she claim sothing so unbelievable? Her existence alone could topple the seven empires' beliefs and
"You wanted to use this to defeat them?" he frowned. "Aren't you just putting yourself in danger?"
"Isn't that why I wanted to work with His Grace and you?"
"You" She wanted protection.
"In return, I will give you what you want, the destruction of the Seven Families."
"Destroying them would be akin to destroying those empires. there is no way that this would happen."
"We won't really know if we don't try it."
"How could you be so calm in telling all this?"
Rosie did not respond. Instead, she took a quick sip of her tea and smiled at him.
"Nothing," Rosie said. "You can tell everyone else about and see them laugh at you for telling them a story as crazy as this."
That was right. Even Elias might not believe it if he did not personally witness it.
"Do not fret. This is just a re proposition, I am not going to force you into working with . I will be traveling to the North after I take care of things in Lonyth. You can give your decision once we are there."
Valentin pursed his lips. The real reason why Elias and Valentin wanted to go to Wugari was that they needed the Duke's protection. If their families knew they were here, they could easily send people to take them back to the south. However, it would be hard for them to take action in Wugari.
In fact, this was the reason why they had been trying to hide their identity and the real reason why Elias had been wanting to kill Sofia and her maid. After all, it was Sofia who forced them to reveal their abilities while they were still running away from Cirid. He stared at Rosalind as she calmly finished her tea.
Then out of nowhere, she took so candies from her spatial bag. Candies
Yes. The woman took candies and leisurely enjoyed them in front of him.
"I could still kill you if I wanted to," Valentin said. "You knew too much about us." And he still needed to confirm her identity. He could kill her and Lucas and get away with it.
"You are too confident," Rosie said. "I might not look like it, but my husband could easily remove your head from your neck."
"What?"
"He is right there" she gestured behind him. Valentin turned and paled. Lucas was indeed standing a few feet away from him.
"You You said that"
"He is my husband. Did you expect to stay with a strange man alone without him?" Rosie shrugged. "I might not have the ability to kill you, but he can do it before you blink."
"You" Valentin shivered inwardly. In fact, he did not sense the presence of another human around them, he did not sense Lucas at all. This could an two things; first was either he was a trained assassin or second, he was more powerful than Valentin. He could take the first option and maybe even think that he was soone from the Bohan Family a well-known family of assassins in Wugari. However, most assassins were smaller and thin, this helped them move faster.
anwhile, this man was simply a giant!
Valentin was already tall at six feet, but this man was even taller than him.
His expression worsened. One in front and one behind him. If these two wanted to kill him, then he would die here without even knowing what killed him.
"I will think about it," he decided to take a step back for now.
"Good," Rosie responded. "I will be waiting for your answer."
Valentin slowly retreated.
..
"Look at you and your smug smile," Lucas said as he approached her. He sat opposite her and poured his own tea. "Although until now, you did not tell how you knew them."
"I told you, I can sll them," Rosalind said.
He shook his head, clearly not believing her words.
"I am not lying."
Again, he shook his head. "To think that you would try to convince two Blessed individuals to co work with ," he scoffed. "You are quite bold, aren't you?"
Rosalind bead, but said nothing.
"You do understand the trouble that this would bring to Wugari, right?"
She nodded in response.
"One Blessed individual can already bring a lot of chaos and now you are going to bring two more into my territory. Are you trying to destroy Wugari?" he asked.
"Do you not like it?"
"What is there to like? Chaos and war are not sothing that everyone could win."
"But it would certainly shake the Empires," Rosalind said. "Besides, they would not have the ti to wage wars against us."
"Us?" he lifted an eyebrow as he took one of her candied fruit.
"Us. You and your people." Rosalind said with confidence.
"It seems that the little bird is becoming bolder and bolder each day."
That made Rosalind laugh. Who told him that she was just a little bird?
She snorted. "Perhaps this little bird will devour you one day, Your Grace."
He t her gaze, then he smiled a smile that she found irritating. "Perhaps," he said.
