“What if Sienna loses her mind and tries to take you down with her?” Gael asked, frowning as he followed close behind.
Rosalie gave a flattering smile. “I know what I’m doing. I’m not doing anything reckless.”
She had barely finished speaking when Leon’s cold voice cut in.
“And how reckless is reckless, exactly? You would only stop when you get hurt?”
“That’s not what I meant. Listen to me-”
Declan grabbed her wrist. Anger flickered between his sharp brows.
“Matriarch, you always joke with your own life,” he said. “Have you ever thought about how we feel?”
He lowered his head and pressed Rosalie’s hand against his chest.
“Feel my heartbeat. It still hasn’t slowed down.
“You really are-”
The rest of his words were left unsaid, but it was clear Rosalie had truly upset him this time.
Rosalie knew she was wrong for acting without talking to them first. She lowered her head, guilty.
“Then what do you want from me?”
Leon raised an eyebrow. “You’ll do whatever we say?”
Rosalie nodded. “Okay, I’ll listen and do as you say.”
Their punishment for her was simple: stop trying any dangerous actions. She had to tell them before doing anything.
And once the rice was planted, she had to come home right away.
It wasn’t hard. Rosalie agreed quickly.
The next day, Rosalie wanted to go to the fields, but Leon stopped her.
“The area has wild animals. The road is rough. It’s dangerous. You can’t go there. ”
Rosalie sighed and decided to check on how Sienna’s case was being handled by Talia.
Request denied again. “She might still hold a grudge against you. If she snaps, she could hurt you.”
Rosalie pressed her lips together and stared at Leon with her bright, watery eyes.
Leon met her gaze and said, “Matriarch, you promised you’d listen to us.”
Rosalie shot him a glare. She didn’t expect her trick to act cute didn’t work anymore.

Fine. If she couldn’t go anywhere else, she could at least go into the city.
Finished
Talia had already picked out a restaurant location a few days ago. Today was a good day to check it out.
Sovereign City was large, but there were only a few restaurants. Talia had taken over one that wasn’t doing
well.
Walking down the street, Rosalie saw many interesting things. Yet even after reaching the end of the road, she still hadn’t seen the restaurant.
Did she miss it? That didn’t make sense. She had two pairs of eyes helping her look.
In the end, she paid a local pup to guide her. After many twists and turns, they finally found the place in a narrow alley.
The restaurant had been closed down. Dust covered the door. Clearly, no one had been there in a long time.
When Rosalie pushed the door open, the interior looked old and worn. A musty smell filled the air.
That Talia really knew how to fool people.
Rosalie went into the kitchen and checked the stove and pans. They were still usable.
Cameron frowned. “Matriarch, this place is so remote. No one will come here.
“Why don’t you ask Talia to change the location?”
“No need,” Rosalie said calmly. “If the food is good enough, people will walk into this alley.”
When she got home, Rosalie began preparing the menu.
At the same time, 50 wooden carts had been assembled. Declan led a team to escort them back.
If they traveled by day and rested at night, with the speed of the locals, the round trip would take about five days.
The only question was how long it would be before the chillwave arrived.
