Rosie's Games

Chapter 162: Thun of Raston Empire 2

Her Blessedness?

Rosalind swallowed. A Blessed individual was actually here?

"I have no knowledge of any Blessed person in the North right now," the Duke whispered.

The two of them were currently standing on top of the tree near the area where the fight was happening. Because of her light Blessing, the others could not see them, yet the beast must have sensed them earlier. Whoever it was that was coming could change everything.

"We need to get out of here," she said in a low voice.

"We can't leave just yet. I want to see who it is that dared to come to the North to capture beasts."

Lucas sounded cold and angry. She looked at him and as always, she could not tell anything from his face.

She wanted to ask him what was wrong with capturing the beasts. Clearly, they were a danger to humans. However, a part of her could not say it. She did not know what compelled her to save this little tiger either. To her, the beasts were always the ones who had been hunting humans, killing them and consuming them.

The fact that she picked up the small tiger surprised her, but at the time, she had no choice but to run away and ignore her own feelings. Now that she finally had the time to think about it, she stared at the tiger who was peacefully nestled in her arms. The small little creature was actually sleeping? Does it need someone's heat?

Why was it sleeping?

"What about my Blessing?"

"Whoever it is that is coming will not see us or sense us. Only beasts have the capability to sense us because of our smell. Not even a fellow Blessed individual could sense the illusions created by your light."

Rosalind nodded, she believed him. Moreover, even if the Blessed person could see them, the Duke should be strong enough to deal with her.

It took a couple of minutes before the neighs of horses reached their ears. Three more people arrived, all of them were on their horses, wearing white coats and cloaks that covered their faces and body. Sadly, the cloak covered their hair too so Rosalind found it hard to identify the one that they were calling 'her Blessedness'.

"Her Blessedness, it is fighting really hard."

"What about the demonic red tiger?" a cold voice came from the individual on a stark white horse.

"We lost it too."

**CRACK**

A flash of thin lightning came out of the woman's body, the soldier who answered her earlier immediately fell on the snow, shaking from the impact of the lightning.

Lightning.

The Thun Family?

Rosalind immediately thought of the woman who joined the awakening ceremony a few months ago. Ena Thun. In her past life, the one who received the Blessing of the lightning was close to both Federico and Martin too. From the stories, this was because Federico was the one responsible for healing Ena's father who had received a very unique disease.

Many believed that it was actually a curse, but no one was able to prove it or was even brave enough to speak of it in front of the Thun Family. The Thun Family owed Federico and Martin and thus, they would do everything to help the Lux Family.

In her past life, she had interacted with a few people from the Thun Household, one of which was Ena. However, she knew that the woman behind the cloak wais not Ena. Or at least, she never sounded that young in the past. Ena was already a woman in her late thirties or perhaps even early forties, she was not sure. Still, the voice of the woman beneath the cloak sounded too young. Could it be Ena's daughter?

But if she was right, the Thun Family only had the seventh and eighth generation Blessed individuals and that would be Ena and her father. The Thun Family had not done any awakening ceremonies yet for the current generation.

She thought about her past life and tried to remember the exact time when Miss Ena sent an invite to Dorothy to join them for an awakening Ceremy in the Raston Empire. At that time, Dorothy was already Empress and Ena was quite old. The child that gained the Blessing of the Goddess was also eighteen years old.

The calculations made her confuse.

"I told you to get that thing inside the tiger's body. We spent too much time nurturing that demonic tiger only for you to lose it!" the woman cursed.

"Miss, please forgive this lowly one. Please "

"Forgiveness?" the woman snorted. Without warning, she sent another bolt of lightning towards the soldier. This time, it was bigger. Soon enough, the smell of burnt flesh surrounded the area.

"Lurea." Another woman spoke. "What did I tell you about your temper?"

Rosalind looked at the speaker and was immediately able to tell that it was Ena. That deep, cold, and calculating tone was something the woman was known for.

"Mother" the woman named Lurea removed her cloak, revealing jet-black hair. Lurea bowed to her mother. "We needed to teach these people a lesson. It is the only way to let them take their job seriously. We are not paying them a lot of gold just for them to let those things go! We have spent too much to raise one of the beasts and impregnating it like that but"

"Enough" the woman coldly said. She then looked at the wolf who was now struggling to fight the rest of the soldiers and sent a bolt of lightning toward it, completely toasting its body. "Find the tiger, I want its body if it's dead. Take out the youngling in its stomach. If it's alive, drag it back to me. There are no excuses."

The rest of the soldiers looked at each other before they bowed and left, leaving the three people on a horse with the body of the wolf.

"Remove its horn"

"Yes, mother," Lurea said. She jumped down her horse, but just as she was about to reach the wolf, she stopped and looked at the trees.

"What is it?" her mother asked.

Lurea frowned. After a few seconds, she shrugged. "Nothing. I just feel like someone is watching. Please ignore it."

"Focus Lurea," the woman said. "Focus."
