Rosie's Games

Chapter 274: Teaching a Lesson

In the past, Rosalind always thought that darkness can only bring nothing but devastation. It was the opposite of light, the opposite of good. Growing up, she learned that darkness was something that belonged to the dark lord. It was evil, sinister.

So, she did her best to hide it, tucked it away inside her until she died. She would never use something that belong to the dark lord.

When she returned, she thought she could use the darkness to her advantage. She could control it and use it against her enemies. However, she never found anything in the books that would teach her anything about the darkness reasonable.

It was not mentioned anywhere, not even in the forbidden books from the past.

So when Lucas told her that he knew the previous one who held the darkness's blessing, she almost could not believe him.

At first, she thought Lucas must be gambling. To Lucas, someone like Clinton who had restrictions placed on his head was useless. He could not say a word about the truth. Killing him would be fine.

Perhaps, he only wanted to teach Rosalind a lesson.

In the north at least in the Rothley estate Killing someone is not forbidden. Perhaps, he just wanted to use her skills. Perhaps he only wanted to know more about her dark blessing.

She was wrong.

Oh, how wrong.

Lucas was right.

The method was working and it was working quite well. She did not know how he knew about the specifics of using the darkness. Was he close to the previous one who owned the blessing? Did he watch the blessed one do this in the past?

Rosalind decided to stop thinking about this for now and focus on the memories that she gathered in her head. While the memories were jumbled, some things stood out that might be relevant to the current situation.

First was the fact that whatever is happening here is because they wanted people to die. They wanted sacrifices.

The reason behind the sacrifice was not mentioned and she could guess that even Clinton did not know about it.

Second was the appearance of someone in a robe. She wasn't sure if it was a man or a woman. However, this person has the ability to appear and disappear if they wanted to.

And third was the fact that Lucas was right about Clinton. This man was a killer, someone who would kill anyone without rhyme or reason. He would kidnap literal children and bring them to his rooms. All of his maids were mostly younger, some were even children and all of them have spent the night with him.

In the end, Rosalind felt anger and disgust as she watched his other dirty deeds. This man. This man deserved to suffer before dying a gruesome death!

When the memories ended, Rosalind slowly let the man go. She was not sure if she was able to cure him or if she was able to restore his sanity. To be quite honest, she did not care. Clinton needed to rot and suffer!

She opened her eyes and found Lucas sitting quite comfortably with a tea in his hand.

"A glass of bitter tea would make you feel better," Lucas said. When she did not respond, he placed the tea on the table and approached her. Then he slowly lifted her up and gently let her sit on his own chair. Then he handed her tea.

Rosalind accepted the tea. Seeing someone's memories can be very tiring and draining and it seems that Lucas really understood this.

"You can talk when you feel better for now " Lucas suddenly got up, a smirk planted on his lips. Then he pointed the sword at the door.

"Show yourself," Lucas uttered.

Almost immediately, someone with a dark robe appeared. The sound of crackling lightning and the smell of burnt flesh filled the room.

The air hummed with power.

Rosalind immediately got up, alarm is written on her face. She did not sense this person arrived!

"Who are you!?" Rosalind asked.

However, instead of giving her an answer, the one in the black robe raised a burnt hand and shot a bolt of lightning toward Rosalind. The lightning was fast and nimble but Lucas easily used his sword to deflect it.

Seeing this, the one in the robe sent more lightning.

"Someone from the Thun Family!" Rosalind said just as the one in the robe sent a burst of lightning that hit Lucas head-on. To everyone's surprise, Lucas seemed to only absorb the lightning as it vanished from his body. He remained unscathed.

Even the one in the robe looked surprised. Seeing that Lucas was not harmed by the lightning, the one wearing a robe vanished. Then he or she appeared next to the weak-looking Clinton.

"I'm afraid, I can't let you do that. I am not done with him." Lucas said as he charged forward. He was too quick he looked like a blur or a smoke. The next thing that Rosalind saw was blood, a lot of blood.

Lucas sliced through the man or woman in a robe, cutting a forearm in the process.

The one wearing a robe fell to the ground, writhing in pain as Lucas smiled. However, before Lucas could say a word, the one wearing the robe vanished.

"Gone already?" Lucas said. He turned towards Rosalind. "Are you hurt?" He approached her. "Lightning can be very difficult to deal with. Does it hurt anywhere?"

"I I am fine." The fight ended in just a few seconds! Rosalind almost could not believe it! "You How about you? The lightning "

He shrugged. "Most of those blessed abilities do not work on me," he said confidently.

"You are revealing a secret." Does he trust her that much?

"Am I?" After turning her around and making sure that the lightning did not burn anything on her, he smiled.

"What if I use that to my advantage?" she asked.

"The last one who held the darkness blessing thought so too."

"And?"

"Well I just had to separate her head from their body to teach her a lesson."

Rosalind stood there speechless. What lesson?
