"However?" Lucilla asked.
"However, I might have a problem coming here in the future as I will start traveling very soon and"
"Ah this is what I wanted to talk to you about," Lucilla smiled as she interrupted her. Then she handed her what looked like a ring.
"What is that?" Rosalind pretended not to know to avoid suspicions but she could not help but smile inwardly. The timing was just right, she thought inwardly.
"This is something that our craftsmen just developed recently. This is a teleportation ring that will take you to one of the rooms underground. Sadly, it cannot take you anywhere else other than the room, but once we develop something like that, I am going to give you one." Lucilla handed her a ring with a blue gemstone.
Rosalind immediately put it on her left ring finger.
"Ah!" Rosalind gasped when the ring suddenly vanished. "What"
"I know you wanted to hide your real identity so I specifically asked them to add this. The ring was absorbed by your finger. It is still there, but... you cannot feel it or see it. The only one who can remove it from your finger is you. Once you think about removing it, the ring will then appear. To use it, you can think about teleporting back to the room and you will be there," Lucilla explained while smiling. "Go on think about it. I will be waiting for you in the other room."
Rosalind wasted no time. She thought about being teleported to another room and just as she expected, she felt a strong suction. She shut her eyes as her head turned foggy. There was a loud swooshing sound and then her heart started racing. She felt like something had pulled her back, then she hit a hard object.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already inside the room. She was lying on the cold hard floor.
'Hah,' she could only sigh inwardly. It seems that teleportation wasn't as glamorous as her dark mist. The last time she used the mist in front of the Duke, she felt a little pain but that was it. There was no strong suction and she did not fall to the floor.
But that was because she teleported a few feet away from where the Duke was located.
Moreover, she could not use her mist when she is teleporting to further areas.
But this ring was different. If she was right, she could teleport back to this room. She looked around and immediately notice the symbols decorating the walls. Runes.
Ancient Runes!
She had stumbled upon these things in her past life and she knew that you could create anything using runes. It seems that this is another reason why the Merchant company became one of the strongest merchant associations in this continent.
"Ah! I am so glad you are fine!" Lucilla opened the only door to the room and rushed to her side. "It seems that you did not sustain any injuries?"
"No," Rosalind said. "Though I am curious. Can I use this as long as I am in this Empire?"
"In this continent," Lucilla proudly said. "As long as you are on this continent, you can teleport back to this place."
"And I can use this as much as I want to?"
"Ten times," Lucilla said. "We will give you a new one after the gemstone loses its ability to transport you."
Rosalind could not help but feel amazed. This was something that she had never even dreamed of touching in her past life! But now, she actually owned one!
"Thank you"
"Mistress" a man appeared by the door.
"What is it Lomet? Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?" Lucilla frowned at the younger bald man wearing the uniform of the people working in the building.
"I apologize Mistress but I think I think you needed to know this. The master has been trying to handle it but he "
"What is it?"
"Your father"
"My father?" Lucilla immediately lifted an eyebrow.
"Yes. Mr. Montgomery from Primal Fangs is here with with someone who claimed that he could heal the Young Miss."
"What?" Lucilla immediately eyed Rosalind. "How could he show up without telling us?"
"The master has been trying to handle it and "
"Lead me to my father! Miss Lin my apologies for doing this but I have to ask someone to lead you back. There seems to be a situation that I needed to personally handle."
"May I come?"
"What?"
Rosalind smiled at her. "I wanted to meet the head of the Primal Fangs." And to meet the person that has claimed that he could heal a dark curse.
"That Miss Lin, I would like to apologize but I think this isn't the best time to meet him. My father can be very intimidating and sometimes rude. I don't want him"
"It's alright," Rosalind uttered. "I would like to meet him. Though " Rosalind smiled. "Please do not tell him anything about me or that I healed Alma."
"You Do not tell me you wanted to"
"Miss Lucilla, a person that can heal a dark curse is very rare. I would like the meet the other person claiming that they can heal little Alma. I would like to open my eyes to the wonders of this world." What a lame reason, she thought inwardly as she tried to stop herself from laughing at her very own antics.
She maintained a gentle smile.
For a moment, Lucilla just stared at her.
"Very well I am taking you to my father, but Miss Lin, I really hope that you will not take his words to heart. He is just a bit"
"A bit what, Lucilla?"
Lucilla's face darkened when she heard a deep voice that grumbled inside the room.
"Father!"
"You used to run to hug me when me visits you! It seems that your husband has finally convinced you not to act like a child in front of your father?"
"Father!" Lucilla's eyes widened. "Stop spouting nonsense!"
"What nonsense!? Me would never"
"We should go back to the drawing room," Lucilla immediately pulled her father out of the room. She blinked and lowered her head as she followed the father and daughter.
