Chapter 183: A Boat looking Pastry

"I heard that you are a daughter of a merchant," the Princess said when Rosalind continued eating the cake.

"I am."

"Have you been to Wugari?"

"No." Rosalind has never been to Wugari. "Maybe once, when I was a child. I have no memories of what happened before the accident."

"Ah, the unfortunate accident that killed your mother and father?"

Rosalind stopped eating. She blinked and tears pooled in her eyes. "Yes."

"I did not mean to remind you of the past," the Crown Princess said softly.

"It's alright." Rosalind grabbed a napkin and dabbed the nonexistent tears. She wanted to know why the Princess and the Countess were doing this. What was their motivation? Were they here simply to try and find out more information about the relationship between the Duke and her? No. She refused to believe that that was the case.

"The past is the past. There is no need to think about it any longer." Again, the Countess made a move to try and diffuse the situation. "We should all look to what the future holds. For instance, the Count is now feeling better and we ought to celebrate his recovery. Truth be told, I am really curious about who was so powerful that they were able to help the Count. I would like to personally thank the one who healed my husband."

"The kingdom of Lonyth would like to thank whoever it was that helped the Count recover as well. After all, it was a dark curse that affected the Count, something like that"

"Perhaps it was not a curse," the Countess said, interrupting the Princess. "I did not mean to interrupt you, Your Highness. I just thought that the Count had suffered so much but even the Blessed Lux Family could not heal a dark curse like that. So perhaps, it wasn't exactly a curse."

While listening to their conversation, Rosalind decided to start eating other pastries. While they were on the road, they were eating some jerky and food that they bought. It was only occasionally that she would eat something from the food in her spatial bag, but none of it was as good as this one!

"Very well I will send some later," the Countess agreed. "But Lady Rosie should be more careful in the future. Talking about the Duke as if as if you two are in a special relationship could potentially damage his reputation."

"Reputation?" the Duke had a reputation of a beast, what further damages could a relationship with her cause him? Obviously, Rosalind knew better than to give them more information. She was good at acting like a stupid woman simply because she had been very naive in her past life. "What reputation?" she blinked at them.

"It seems that Lady Rosie doesn't know" the Countess smiled and poured Rosalind another cup of tea. "However, I don't think I can talk about things like this, Young Lady. I would not want my head to leave my body."

So, they wanted to plant some suspicions in her head, Rosalind frowned. Something like this was a classic move that nobles used during gatherings. To make someone more curious, they would say that they cannot talk about it as it would harm them.

Rosalind wanted to laugh.

Instead, she smiled. "Since the Countess does not want to talk about it, then let us talk about something else. Perhaps the Countess would like to tell me about these pastries?"

"Eh?"

Again, the Countess looked speechless but quickly recovered. She smiled at Rosalind and started introducing the pastries.

Hearing this, Rosalind smiled while nodding her head.

The easiest way to combat a manipulation technique like that was to simply agree with what they were saying. Asking them more questions would give them satisfaction. The best way to fight was to talk about something more interesting. In Rosalind's case, that would be talking about food.
