Rumors

Rosalind froze.

She looked at Lucas who held her waist as if ready to leave this place anytime she wanted to.

"Miss Dorothy?" Piers Goosebourne, the second prince of the Aster Empire called out. "Is something the matter?"

"I—" Dorothy lowered her head, her face flushed. "I must have sensed something earlier. I thought— Perhaps, it was because I am too exhausted."

"Oh. I apologize for the late visit. It seems that I got too excited when my father told me that the construction of your temple was going to start very soon. I know you have spent the whole day healing everyone. I shall take my leave now." With that Piers got up and gave Dorothy a low bow— something that a prince should not do to just anyone.

Seeing this, Rosalind elbowed Lucas.

They needed to leave now.

She did not want to cause a ruckus right now. It was already enough that she saw Dorothy being shrouded with something really dark.
