Chapter 449 - Rosalien Will Not Talk (1/2)
Rosalien looked at Lauriel with a deadpan look. For a moment she groaned angrily at the thought that Lauriel had poisoned her, but after hearing the name of the liquid she had swallowed, Rosalien became calmer. Whatever happened, she would not give what these two mysterious people wanted, she thought.
Even though she had been given the truth serum, Rosalien only needed to refuse to talk, and so they would not be able to do anything.
”How old are you?” Lauriel asked, sitting cross-legged in front of Rosalien. The girl pursed her lips tightly.
But for some reason, her brain refused to cooperate. Rosalien could not believe her own ears when she heard her voice answer to Lauriel's question.
”Twenty four years.”
Rosalien's face was filled with horror. She could not control her brain even though actually she refused to let out any word. What did she drink? Who were these people, really?
”Hmm ... good.” Lauriel smiled for the first time. The serum he and Aldebar had made turned out to be quite effective. ”Can you guess how old I am?”
”Twenty five years.” Rosalien was surprised again. She voluntarily replied to Lauriel's question. She did not care about these trivial questions and had no intention of responding to his questions, but again she could not control herself. Slowly Lauriel saw a speck of fear in her eyes.
”You are wrong.” Lauriel looked at Rosalien very seriously, making sure the girl understood his words well. ”I'm 570 years old.”
Rosalien looked at Lauriel closely, trying to find a sign that he was joking or deliberately insulting her intelligence, but strangely Lauriel's face showed that he was 100% serious with what he said.
570 years??? Seriously!
Meanwhile, Marion frowned at Lauriel for telling their prisoner of his actual age. What was this? Did Lauriel intend to kill her immediately? Wouldn't it be better if they were kept alive as hostages?
If their first plan failed, they could keep these people hostage to get to Alaric Rhionen ... Marion couldn't help thinking.
”You heard me right,” Lauriel said again. ”I've lived for almost six centuries. I've met so many people and I have come to know all the tricks in the world. Whatever you think you can do, you are no match for me.”
Rosalien narrowed her eyes and studied Lauriel. She still could not believe this handsome and authoritative young man, who had such a commanding presence, standing in front of her had lived for that long. But why ... why did his face still look young? Just like ...
Suddenly Rosalien thought about her foster father whom she had known for almost 15 years and ... his face still looked young, just like this man in front of her.
Were they of the same kind? Who exactly was Alaric?
She and his friends never questioned him because they respected the leader of Rhionen Assassins and considered his God-like figure a privilege that was to be kept secret and not to be discussed.
Rosalien never thought that one day she would meet other people like Alaric, who did not age.
The girl swallowed hard.
Just one Alaric was already very impressive. How many of them were there in this world?
She studied Lauriel's face and appearance. For some reason, Lauriel's appearance reminded her of Alaric. Their faces were different, but she felt that they both had the same features. Did all of these people have this appearance?
Did Alaric know that he was being pursued by people of his kind? Was this her foster father's enemy?
For the first time since last night, Rosalien regretted her careless actions at the stadium yesterday that resulted in her and Takeshi being caught. She never thought that they would be faced with mysterious people who were so frightening.
”Hmm ... I see that now you believe me.” Lauriel smiled faintly. ”I need the names of all Rhionen Assassins' members and their identities.”
With all her might Rosalien hardened her jaw and tried to refuse to answer. There was clearly a struggle in her head and beads of sweat ran down her forehead.
When her lips opened, she struggled to control her words.
