Chapter 102: The Cursed Weapon 1



Chapter 102: The Cursed Weapon 1

Rosalind took a seat and accepted the tea that Mr. Pratt just gave her.

"I will arrange everything. There is no need to worry about your security "

"We will be there," Mr. Mongomery interrupted them.

"Huh? Father, I thought you were hired to guard someone traveling to the North?"

"You are going to the North?" Rosalind immediately asked.

"Yes. The Lux Family just hired them to escort the woman marrying the Duke of the North."

"I Isn't this supposed to be a secret?" Rosalind asked.

"Ah, we are all families. There is no need to keep secrets from each other." Mr. Montgomery laughed. "If you wanted to harm us then you would have targeted the heir to both of our Empires. That and, Me am certain that you will not betray the Four Quarter Masters."

"How did you know, I would not do a thing to betray the Four Quarter Masters?"

"Because you need us lass," Mr. Montgomery calmly sat opposite her. "You are here because we need you and you need us. And me am a very good judge of character. If me not, then me would not have allowed this poor businessman to marry into my family! Hahahahaha!" Mr. Mongomery started laughing again before he reached out to one of the cups and downed its contents in one go.

Rosalind could smell alcohol coming from it.

Was the leader drunk? That is the only explanation for his behavior.

"Mathies, you should bring him to his rooms," Mr. Pratt sighed. "When father is drunk, he just blurts out everything."

"Me am serious. Mathies can take care of it. There is no need for this old man to accompany a pampered princess to marry that Duke. And Me knows that guarding Miss Lin is more important than guarding that woman. Mathies tell me her name one more time?"

"Ah it is Miss Rosalind Lux."

"Me have never heard of that name before. Are you certain she is someone from the Lux Family?"

"Aye, sir."

"Aishhhh. Then you must accompany her and keep her safe. Meanwhile, me will guard Miss Lin."

"Father "

"Are you telling me that Miss Lin's life is less important than that of Miss Lux?"

"That is not what I wanted to say."

Hearing another argument, Rosalind could not help but try to stop herself from smiling. She failed.

This situation was just a little too entertaining, is it not?

"I would not mind it if we just "

"No," Mr. Mongomery interrupted her. "Me will personally keep you safe while tending to that Duke."

Rosalind pursed her lips.

"Why do you need to guard her, leader? Is it not great if you guard Miss Lux while I stay here to guard Miss Lin? I am less noticeable and you you are the opposite. You must show yourself to everyone while guarding Miss Lux to show that Primal Fangs do their business well!"

"How dare you doubt me?"

Again, another argument ensued. Not long after, this conversation was interrupted by one of the people working in the building. He informed Mr. Pratt that someone is looking for a cursed item.

"A cursed item?" Mr. Pratt frowned.

"Yes. They specifically wanted to have something that had been used to kill a thousand people."

"A thousand that is a lot!" Mr. Pratt uttered.

"Then shall I tell them that we do not have such an item?"

"Hmmm I will personally deal with them," Mr. Pratt uttered. "This is not a simple matter. Inform the other Quarter Masters."

"Aye, sir."

"A weapon that killed a thousand people?" Rosalind asked after the person left. It was said that the more souls the cursed weapon took, the more powerful it would become.

"Yes. A cursed weapon like that is very rare." Mr. Mongomery answered. "And expensive. I am very curious about who this person is and why would they want a weapon like that. Were they planning to kill a blessed one?"

"Kill a blessed one?" Rosalind frowned.

"Ah. There were rumors that killing a blessed one with a weapon like that could avoid the curse from the Goddess."

Rosalind could not help but shudder. She she heard of this rumor in her past life but had forgotten about it simply because she did not think it was relevant. Rumors like that always come and go but no one was able to prove it.

"Where did those rumors come from?" she asked.

"Who knows? But me knew that the blessed families had killed a lot of rumors like that. Sadly, they have no power in this part of the continent. In the black market, blessed families have little to no power. After all, they would never announce who they were when coming here. Why would a blessed individual visit this place?" Mr. Mongomery chuckled.

"Do you think some people believed those rumors?"

"Me has no idea. But me heard that the blessed families have started to collect weapons like that. Perhaps it was to hide them from the public?"

"These are mere rumors," Mr. Pratt uttered. "But, I still have to tell them the dangers of possessing such a weapon."

"Are you going to give them the weapon?"

Mr. Pratt paused. Then he shrugged. "Is there anything in this world that does not have a price, father?"

With that, Mr. Montgomery smiled and patted his son-in-law's back.

"May I May I see the weapon?" Rosalind asked. She heard that Federico and Martin have weapons like this in the past but she had never seen it before. But that might be because her blessing vanished when she heard about this rumor.

"Of course."

"Do you really have a weapon like this in hand?" she asked.

"Yes."

"Then do you think I could buy it instead?"

Her question made the room silent.

"You "

"It was just to satisfy my curiosity."

"You would buy a cursed weapon to satisfy your curiosity?" Mr. Pratt asked.

"Why not?" she frowned. In fact, she just wanted to see the weapon's potential for business. A person wounded by this blade would suffer until they die or they can pay her to treat them.

Isn't this a very good business opportunity?

"Miss Lin, you must be honest with me. Are you planning to kill a blessed one?"

"Eh?" Rosalind blinked at Mr. Pratt's troubled face. Why would she kill someone? She just wanted to earn gold!

....

Mr. Montgomery talks like that. He uses Me instead of I.
