“Mr. de Luca. Soon we will reach the coast of Cartagena. Please board the ship that I have prepared,” said Varco, an accomplice to Captain Pascale de Luca. Because to reach the beach, it takes a smaller boat so that they can reach the land without getting wet at all. Their big ship will have difficulty if they intend to dock because there is no dock at all.
Taking his small binoculars from his pocket, then he took aim at an island that was not far from their big ship. From a distance, it appears that there are only one or two people passing by on the beach. And upon closer inspection, they were witches with distinctive copper-red hair.
“Not far away there must be a lot of witches hiding. Let's catch and kill them. Avenge our people who died at the hands of Axton's people,” de Luca commanded, igniting the spirits of the potion cultists.
After transferring to a smaller boat, de Luca was brought to shore. And as expec
"How's it going, Winky? Did you find Winter?" Selena asked as Winky entered her tree house. "No sign of Winter anywhere. Whereas earlier we promised to take a walk on Cartagena beach before nightfall. But when I caught up, she wasn't there." "We'll wait until nightfall, if Winter doesn't come back, then we'll find the kid," Selena suggested. "Okay then," replied Silvanna. "I'll try to find her in remote areas of the cottage." "I will also help Miss Silvanna," said Marion who immediately followed Silvanna. When everything is quiet, Selena will try to find Winter's whereabouts using enchanted water. She will prepare some of the tools and materials she will need to find Winter. When she was alone, a student brought her drinking water. "Miss Selena, I brought a drink for you. Please, Miss. While it's still warm," said the
After walking for a while, they were allowed to remove the cloth covering their eyes. Several times their eyes blinked because of the light that entered their eyes after several days of not receiving light.They were put into a narrow, dark and damp room. One room can only accommodate eight to ten people. The room feels cramped because they force up to fifteen people in. They must be willing to share the air for their lives.On one side, there is an iron grate for them to enter and leave the prison. From the smell, it seemed like they were being held in a super humid dungeon. In some parts there are puddles of water that are very cold if splashed on the skin.As soon as they were allowed to take off their blindfolds, they recognized each other immediately. Luckily some of Silvanna and Selena's students were in the same room. Only the other two students were in the other room. But that's okay because the
“I can only bring this bread to you. I took some so that the soldiers in charge of maintaining the food supply wouldn't suspect that some of the food was missing,” Pierre said trying not to be caught as he handed out a few slices of bread to give to Selena, Silvanna and some of the other students. Several other witches were asleep or maybe even dead because they had been captured and held in the hull for days, a few days before Selena and the others were arrested. They automatically hold their hunger longer than Selena and the others.Some of them survive by eating food that is not common to ordinary humans. There are witches who usually eat insects, small snakes, cockroaches, and even disgusting rat they can eat. But not everyone can eat such food. Like Selena, Silvanna and their students, they only eat what humans normally eat. Not rats, spiders or other insects.Even though there were only three medium-sized loaves of br
Selena then asked the others to walk faster towards Pierre. But there is one student who refuses to walk. She even stopped so that she was left behind by the group.Selena, who realized that one of her students was left behind, instructed the other students to immediately reach Pierre, led by Silvanna. Meanwhile, she was about to talk to a student who suddenly stopped walking.“Sora, what are you doing? Why did you stop? Let's go quickly," said Selena whispered. The little girl shook her head in fear. The look on her face was like it wasn't her. Sora's face is usually bright and always cheerful. But today, at this very second, for the first time, Selena saw another side of Sora."We will all be free. Don't you want to get out of here?" she asked softly.“I will see something terrible if I go out with you guys. Something you will regret for the rest of your life," replied Sora in a d
De Luca signaled one of his men to make Pierre return to his knees even though he had to be helped. One of the captain's accomplices nodded in understanding. Then the man ordered two of his comrades to help Pierre get back on his knees. “As a warning that there will be no more betrayal that I see, then I will punish this person with the appropriate punishment even though he has greatly contributed to the country,” explained de Luca then ordered one of the executioners to come forward to carry out his duties. Using a mask and a large and very sharp machete, the man took a position beside Pierre who was still being helped kneel by his friend. Without prompting, Pierre's two comrades leaned his frail body forward to make it easier to execute him. "Wait!" said Selena making the executioner stop the action and all eyes were on her. "Is there anything you want to say to this little traitor?" asked
“I heard that you've caught quite a few powerful witches. Is that true, Captain de Luca?” investigate one of the power-hungry district officials. Several high-ranking French officers were gathering to hear the work of the captain who promised to capture the witches, as a form of revenge for their many soldiers who died at the hands of the red-haired "creatures". “That's right, sir, and soon we will be executing them. You don't have to worry," Pascale explained with a straight face. "I believe if it comes out of your mouth," replied the hairless official with the smile in his lips. “As usual, sir. I always carry out my duties to completion," replied the captain with a proud tone. "Then what's your next plan, Captain?" asked one of the other officials who also attended the meeting. “I will attack Castile la Mancha. I heard his wife is also a r
His feelings are right. After traveling for about half a day's journey, Axton found the front gate guards dead with arrows pierced their chests and eyes. "What is this?" hastily he entered the castle which is located slightly apart from the people's house. He was already thinking about bad things because as long as he went to Helena's room, all the guards died with the same arrowheads stuck in the body of the guards outside. It seemed that Axton was no stranger to these arrows. But he was barely focused and again, not the time to think about who did it. His priority now is Helena, his wife. Is his pregnant woman safe? Didn't she know there was a massive attack inside and outside the palace? Or did she not know because something happened to her? Good grief! This made Axton even more crazy thinking about the fate of his wife and future baby. Along the way he did not find a single guard who was still alive. Until fina
Albert forbade Axton to go alone to France as much as possible. But a stubborn person, especially when the lives of his wife and baby are in danger, make Axton no longer think about the safety of his life. In his head was only Helena and their future baby.“No time left, Albert! The lives of my wife and baby are in danger. Can you imagine what if you were in my position right now?”Albert was silent and could not answer. Anyone would do the same if his family was kidnapped and their life was in danger.“You replace me to take care of the kingdom until I come back here. I entrust everything to you, Albert,” Axton ordered before he ran out of the palace.Outside, the horse he had used to ride all the way to the castle of course could no longer be used for long trips. Surely the horse would be exhausted. As he was about to run towards the stables beside the castle, a villager gave his bl
