Rosie's Games

Chapter 122: Rosie Rothley 3

"Young Miss, please do not leave your rooms, we are still currently looking for the culprit. We are "

"But what about the captain?" Rosalind blinked at the soldier guarding her door. "It has been a few hours since he started screaming and it is making me worry. What is happening?"

"The captain is currently in pain because of the wound that he sustained earlier."

Rosalind bit her lower lip. "Then may I see him?"

"I'm afraid that we cannot let anyone see him now. It is too dangerous. We are still checking the surroundings, making sure that everything is safe. For now, please stay inside your room. We will inform you once everything has been cleared."

Rosalind nodded and then closed the door. The moment the door closed, the sadness in her eyes disappeared. She smirked and stared at the man sitting casually on her bed.

"Must you do this?" it was the Duke. In fact, the Duke had been with Rosalind since she left the carriage, but she was able to hide him from everyone due to her light Blessing. This time, it was the Duke who encouraged her to hide him so she could measure the extent of her power.

He assured her that he could just kill everyone in case there was any problem.

"Do what?" she asked, pouring herself some tea.

"Save the man."

"You do not want me to save him?"

"Is there any reason why you needed to save someone like that?"

"Well" she really did not havea reason. "Except for the fact that I needed to slowly create rumors in the villages surrounding this area?" she asked.

"I suggest we just kill him," he said, his eyes glinting with blood lust it was something that she had never seen from him before.

"What are you doing?" she asked, confused. The Duke agreed to this plan earlier. The plan was to inflict the captain with the dark curse and then heal him. This would start rumors about her. However, the moment that this reached the capital, she would already be in the North, married to the Duke.

But when the Duke met the captain everything changed. Suddenly, he wanted to kill the young captain instead. Of course, Rosalind had to stop the man from committing a crime against the clueless individual. In fact, Rosalind already heard of Esmael Dryden before. The man loved alcohol and women, but aside from that, he had never hurt the innocent and was actually pretty righteous.

Still, he is just terrible when it came to women.

Rosalind thought that there is no point in killing people like that.

"The man kissed your hand."

She blinked. What was he talking about?

"Why would a husband allow another man to kiss his wife's hand?" he blinked as if he was seriously asking the question. Rosalind awkwardly stared at him, wondering if that question needed to be answered or perhaps it was simply something that he was asking himself.

In the end, she said nothing and sat next to him instead. The two of them just sat next to each other and said nothing as the captain's screams once again echoed through the air. The curse had started.

Captain Esmael Dryden was in a lot of pain.

"This was a dark curse."

"A dark curse?" Raulio frowned. "How?" he asked the physician.

"The knife that was used was cursed. Perhaps the one who did it only wanted to harm him and make him suffer. Has he offended someone lately?"

Raulio frowned. Every night, the captain would sleep with different women from the village. Married women, younger women, and even women that looked like children. He would never care about their families or their stories. The only thing that he wanted was to sleep with them.

It has only been two weeks since he arrived, and yet he had already offended countless of people from the village.

"What are we going to do about this? A dark curse is simply too cruel. Perhaps, the one who did this truly hated him."

"The captain has slept with countless women since he arrived. Most of them were married, some were widows. The man has offended a lot of men. I knew this would happen. I just did not expect it to be this quick."

"There is no other choice but to just send him back to the Capital."

"Even the one with the light Blessing cannot heal him. What a poor man. He should not have slept with other people's women. We all know that cursed weapons are still all over the North. Tsk. He was simply not careful enough."

Everyone could only sigh as they listened to the screams of the new captain. A dark curse was something that was made to make people suffer forever. It is said that killing yourself was better than having a curse.

"Pardon me"

Everyone turned towards the sweet voice. It was none other than Miss Rosie. Just like earlier, she was wearing a mask on her face but everyone had actually seen her face when she fainted. The soldiers understood that the woman must be trying to hide her beauty, but even with the mask, everyone could tell how beautiful she actually looked.

"You should go back to your room, Miss Rosie. The young master is not well. You should rest so you and your people can leave tomorrow. We have already confirmed your identity." A lieutenant said.

"Well, I " Rosalind hesitated. "I did not mean to over hear what you were talking about with everyone else, but is it true that the young captain is currently experiencing the effects of a dark curse?" she asked, almost innocently. She blinked her watery eyes anticipating an honest answer.

How could someone tell this beauty a lie?

"We did not mean to frighten the Young Miss. If you are not comfortable staying here for the night then "

"No. I just I think I have a way to make the captain feel better." Again, Rosalind blinked. "I think I can heal the young captain."
