23 The Fury of Rosaline (1/2)

(Several hours ago before Destiny begins)

”Minister Bryan” Jacob the butler of Minister Bryan knocked on the bedroom door to wake up Bryan.

”Minister Bryan, Sir you'll be late for the meetings” as said Jacob started to knock on the door with the little force, Jacob knew about Minister Bryan's purchase from thousand arms house and guessed he overslept after an eventful night but time goes by without Minister Bryan's response he started to panic.

”Minister Bryan!! please sir open the door” Jacob couldn't help but shiver in panic and fear, his legs turned to jelly yet he found what he had to do.

Jacob had a bad feeling about this, he lived long enough to feel something was amiss here and he doesn't want to get killed because of this fat pig in his old age as he cursed Minister Bryan in his heart he ran towards Rosalin's room downstairs.

As closer he gets to Rosalin's room his heart slowly started to calm down because in his perspective a great master is like a mountain not only that, he knew Rosalin was specially appointed and sent to protect Minister Bryan by the capitol itself, a person trusted by capitol is not a small thing, as thinking about this he reached the front door of Rosalin's room.

The door was visibly decorated with magical runes as the door itself was painted in fire red striking fear into Jacob's heart.

”Miss Rosalin” Jacob gently knocked on the door despite his panic, there was no response from Rosalin's room either but before he could knock again the door slowly opened and Jacob saw the red-dressed Fire mage Rosalin.

”What's the matter?” Rosalin calmly asked.

”Its...Its Minister Bryan miss Rosaline he is not waking up” Jacob explained the situation like a mouse in front of a cat.

”He's probably still sleeping try again after a few minutes” Rosalin didn't panic like Jacob because she knew her defense magic was still in place without disturbed by anyone.

”I did miss Rosalin I knocked on his door several times, usually he will at least shout at me but today there was nothing, not even a sound coming from his room”

Rosalin could see Jacob breaking down in fear and panic, seeing Jacob in this state she realized at least she could try for the sake of giving this old man a closure.

”Follow me” Rosaline took her staff and walked towards Minister Bryan's room.

After a few breaths time, Rosaline had reached the front door of Minister Bryan's bedroom and she could feel that her defense magic is still in place.

”Minister Bryan” Rosaline called out but didn't get any response from the other side.

”Calling of fire spirits” Rosaline closed her eyes and cast a spell to scan the room without entering when she finished her spell she suddenly opened her eyes, if someone was before her they could see the anger and confusion in her eyes.

”Go out and call the other guards immediately nobody gets in or out without noticing me” her voice was so dominant and had anger hiding within thus it made Jacob shiver uncontrollably as he nodded and quickly ran downstairs to give Rosalin's order.

”Flare of hell” Rosalin pointed her hands towards the door just as a dark purple color flames came out through her fingers and burnt the door in a second.

Rosaline was stunned to see the scene in front of her, there were broken glasses and bottles all over the floor as well as bloodstains and broken tables but the thing shocked her most was what was in the middle of the room.

At this time, the guards, maids, and experts of the Bryan Residence all alerted bt Jacob and brought to the main hall as for the personal guards aka Rosalin's team headed for Bryan's room.

Minister Bryan's lifeless body tied to the chair before Rosalin, his upper clothes were ripped and used to tie him to the chair while a deep knife stab mark on his chest was visible to Rosaline, there was also a big bloodstain on his left thigh it seems he was stabbed there too.

Seeing everything in the room made Rosaline doubt her abilities, she remembers clearly that she cast the defense spell before she left and as of now there were not any disruptions in the spell, there were only two conclusions to be made with this, one the spell didn't work second the killer found a way to disable or evade the spell just when she investigating the crime scene her teammates entered the room.

”Oh my god” Aster the healer almost threw up when she saw the horrible scene as the other three were not reacted like Aster but they were too nauseated and a little bit afraid of the scene.

The team's Archer Chase stepped forward and knelt and investigated the bloodstains then looked around the room and began to study the dead body of Minister Bryan beside Rosaline.

”There was a little struggle between two people here” Chase pointed at the place where Minister Bryan let out Arrora and beaten her.

”There are some rosy red bloodstains besides Minister Bryan I bet it was the half-elf's” Chase moved towards the place where Arrora fall and broke the wine bottles,

”And then it seems she also broke Minister Bryan's statue, the statues have the same rosy red blood stained fingerprints on some broken pieces”

”You think the half-elf killed Minister Bryan and escaped?” aster asked Chase in doubt but the one answered her was Rosaline
