Rosie's Games

Chapter 341: Sweets

"I did not let him steal it! If I had known that it would be like this... I" Ena did not continue her words. In fact, she really did not think that anyone else could steal the relics that her father brought from the Howling Mountains.

There were only a few of those kinds of relics and she thought that no one would be able to sense them.

She was wrong.

The Duke had the ability to sense them, and he had even made the relics stronger.

Now, this was a piece of very alarming news. Ena could not seem to accept that someone else took advantage of her things!

Because of this, her anger towards the Duke just doubled. No. It tripled.

All she wanted to do was torture him until he gave her the information that she needed. Unfortunately, it would not be that easy.

"Let us leave. I need to"

"No!" Federico held her hand, stopping her from moving. "You created this problem! You must fix this!"

"Let me go," Ena hissed. "This is not my fault. It was Lucas Rothley's!"

"You must have a way to sense all those relics. Find them. We need to take them and"

"No. I do not have a way to sense them."

"You" Federico's eyes narrowed. "Are you doing this to Did you intentionally do this because you wanted Aster to fall?"

This time, Ena removed Federico's hand from her arm. "What nonsense are you talking about!? I would never do something so incredibly stupid."

"Ena"

"I said I did not do it! I would never do something like that. You are keeping my father alive. Without you, he would succumb to his death." And Ena still had use of her father. He could not die just yet. She glared at the old man before she pushed him out of her way. Then she walked out of the room, irritated.

How could he suggest that she was willing to ruin Aster?

Ena was already in a terrible mood because of the beasts! Now, the old man was insinuating that she was using the relics against him? While Ena was not exactly trustworthy, she had reasons not to do that to the Lux Family.

The sound of the bell once again echoed. It was another sign of a demonic beast.

Ena's mood turned worse.

Undeniably, the relics were much stronger than the ones that she used to have. Ena wanted to have those relics.

She was willing to do anything to have them!

She narrowed her eyes in the direction of the bell. She needed a way to know the secrets of the Duke.

For the first time in her life, Ena's interest in the Duke of Wugari peaked.

....

"We are leaving," Rosalind said. She was already prepared for today's plans.

"And we are supposed to stay here?" Elias asked. He had been complaining about the plan since he had heard it. However, he also understood why Rosalind did it. The others are stronger than them now, so a confrontation against them must be avoided.

However, the Duke already promised to make them stronger.

That was enough to assure him of his future.

"Yes."

After they said their goodbyes, Rosalind and Atior wore other skin masks with ordinary appearances and snuck out of the house using various methods. Rosalind just teleported herself directly out of the house while Atior used another way that only sorcerers knew about.

In just a few minutes, they arrived outside and immediately walked towards the marketplace where Atior placed all the relics. Right now, only Atior and Rosalind knew where the relics were.

"My lady, how would we know if the Duke is already in the Empire?" Atior asked.

"We will," Rosalind uttered. Or at least, she would. The Duke told her to start removing the relics at high noon. It was still morning yet, but Rosalind already chose to get out of the house as she had other things to do like eat something.

She was here to eat some delicious food too!

She, and the rest of them, would be leaving for Howling Mountains after this and they would stay in that place for a few weeks. That meant she won't have any good food.

Until now, she has yet to find a way to put fresh food in her spatial bag so she would be eating some dried beef jerky and other dried meat all throughout this training!

How could she accept that?

Because of this, she decided to actually explore some restaurants in the markets and eat something!

She smiled at the thought of it.

Not long after, the two of them found a good restaurant and immediately had their breakfast. After that, they found a restaurant known for its sweets and she immediately tried some. By the time Rosalind and Atior were done, it was already close to high noon.

Rosalind then signaled Atior to start collecting the relics.

In fact, this mission should be very simple. They were just here to collect the relics and then leave. Since there was no fighting involved, Rosalind just chose to enjoy herself by buying some more cakes and pastries.

While Aster did not exactly have the best sweets, they did have various stores that sold desserts and candy from other Empires and Kingdoms. One even had endless choices when it came to sweets.

After enjoying herself, she bought some cakes and pastries that she could bring for the Duke. She knew that the man must have already tried them before, but she did not care. She was simply buying the things that she found delicious.

"My Lady, here are the two relics," Atior said as she handed the two relics to Rosalind. She immediately put them in her spatial bag. Then Atior once again disappeared. This time, she is going to get the third and fourth relics.

Each relic was strategically placed making sure that they stay unrecognizable while still having effects on the beasts.

"Thank you. You may keep the rest," Rosalind smiled at the vendor who just sold her some sort of candied fruits. However, the smile on her face vanished when she felt something eerie to her right.

This This was Atior's ability!

Her face turned dark.

There is no way that Atior would use this if she was not in danger!
