Chapter 158: Robbery Gone Wrong 3

"You What do you think you're doing!?" Fraunces's expression immediately changed.

"Since Dame Fraunces learned archery at a very young age, I am certain that you must have learned how to avoid an arrow in what. a week? No" Rosalind smirked. "A week is too long. Make it a day. The Dame must have learned how to avoid arrows in a day, right?"

Looking back, she really should not have saved this woman from that Clinton Moller.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Depends" Rosalind responded. "Do you feel threatened?"

"What?" Fraunces snorted. "Why would someone like you threaten me?"

"Exactly." Rosalind lowered the bow. "Why would someone like me, scare you?"

"You Who told you that I am scared?"

Rosalind snorted in response. Then she aimed her arrow at the target board. She let go and, as expected, missed the target.

"If that was human " Rosalind looked back at Fraunces. "It would have been dead by now. I would have missed the heart- but not the head."

With that, she handed the bow to the Duke and left.

The moment she left, the Duke glanced at Fraunces and frowned.

"What?" Fraunces asked.

"I told you to go to your father. You may leave ahead of us."

"Are you really going to make me leave just because of that woman?" she asked.

"Is there anything that I can and cannot do with my own people?"

"Hmph! Don't think for a second that I do not know what you are trying to hide," Fraunces said.

The Duke lifted an eyebrow. Then he gestured for everyone to leave. Seeing this, Fraunces got down from the carriage and approached him.

"I know what she is," Fraunces continued, she lifted her head and stared at the Duke. "She's a sorcerer. She must be the one who broke that barrier and attracted the wolves. She's working for you, isn't she?"

The Duke narrowed his eyes at her.

"What is with that look?" Fraunces said. "I know she told you to get rid of me, she must hate me so much. So, I will not "

Fraunces' words were interrupted when Lucas showed her a dagger.

"Do you know what the difference is between you and those bandits?" he suddenly asked.

She thought that this was unrealistic.

She had been with him for so many years, why would he suddenly do something like this now? Was it because of that sorceress?

She gritted her teeth. She wanted to go to the carriage and confront Rosie about everything. That woman must have known about the Duke's plans and was helping him behind the scenes. This was the only explanation that she could come up with.

For a long time, Fraunces just stood there as she tried to calm herself. No matter what, she would never leave the Duke's side. Lucas must be planning something really big this time, but he could not tell anyone about it.

That might be the reason why he suddenly wanted her to leave him, she consoled herself.

"You really are a bit slow, aren't you?"

Fraunces looked behind and realized that the person who just spoke was none other than Rosie.

Fraunces looked at the carriage and frowned, she did not see anyone leaving.

"Are you that desperate?" Rosie said.

"What?"

"You, Dame Fraunces, are a beautiful, strong woman, but, you are wasting your time following someone that does not like you and has refused to marry you. That man was generous enough to give you the option to leave, yet it seems that you are ignoring his words. Are you still going to act like he has reasons for what he said and convince yourself to stay by his side? Are you really that slow?"

"S Slow?"

"In the head." Rosalind pointed to her temples. In her past life, Jeames never refused her advances, letting her think that he liked her too. In the end, she broke her own heart.

"How dare you!"

"You are a noble who ran around following behind the man she loves. The nobles in the North must be laughing about you behind your back."

"You What does it have to do with you? Will you stop talking to me and mind your own business?"

"I am " Rosie was trying to save a young maiden's heart. Soon, the Duke will marry her, and while that might not be a marriage out of love, it was still a marriage. Moreover, the Duke told her he is not planning to take concubines. This would surely affect Fraunces.

"I shouldn't care," Rosalind snorted. This woman was nothing but a nuisance to her, and yet Rosie still tried to help her. How pathetic. In her past life, she had fallen into Jeames and Dorothy's trap because of her naive thinking, believing that she could save everyone.

"Do not mind my words," Rosalind suddenly said. She approached Fraunces and touched the wound on the woman's neck. This is unlike her! What was she doing?

Fraunces flinched. "What are you doing!?"

"I can heal it, Dame Fraunces" Rosalind removed her hand and the cut from the dagger was already gone. There were no traces, no scars. Then she smiled. She held her hand in front of Fraunces and let her see the black dagger slowly materializing from Rosalind's palms. "But the next time you antagonize me a cursed dagger will cut your hand. You probably know what that means, right?"
