"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
“Is that really you, Axton?” Helena asked trying to convince herself that it was really her husband.“Of course. I went straight home from Almagro because I had a bad feeling and it turned out that my guess was right. You are now kidnapped by the French army. I really don't want to lose you both, Helena.”“Axton,” said Helena touched.“Now then, I'll try to open this iron bar lock. You wait a moment, "said Axton who then took a small iron wire that he had prepared earlier. He tried to fiddle with the lock that locked Helena's cell. After several attempts, he was finally able to open the lock. Axton and his wife hugged each other after they were no longer separated by the iron bars."Good thing you're okay, Helena. I'm really worried about you and our baby," Axton explained happily and relieved."I'm also happy to see you again before I di
Several years have passed. Alessandro and Nirmala are officially married and they live happily in the palace. Their lives would be perfect if only King Axton didn't immediately force Alessandro to have a child to become the successor of the kingdom later. This of course became the subject of gossip from the people and other royal relatives.Irlac and Jasmine, who got married only a few months apart from their wedding date, now have three children; two sons and one daughter.This made Nirmala sad and she again remembered what Marion said when she was successfully revived by the siren demon, Zephyr, a few years ago.'Do you know the risks after being revived?' asked Marion with a serious face.Nirmala shook her head. 'You won't be able to have a child,' Marion answered firmly.Finally, the question that had been stuck in her head had been answered. Why is Alessand
After the wedding was over and joining the party for only a few hours, Axton and all the guests from the kingdom of La Mancha withdrew from the event. They will return to their kingdom.However, one of the guards reported that Prince Alessandro had run away and invited Nirmala to come with him. The two of them got on one horse and headed towards the road back to the kingdom."You brat," muttered King Axton who heard his only son's misbehavior.He turned back to King Louie and said goodbye. “It seems that my son was so eager to return to the kingdom that he didn't say goodbye properly. If so, have fun. Please excuse us," said King Axton when he said goodbye to King Louie.“Please, Axton. Have a nice trip.”Meanwhile, Alessandro, who was running away with Nirmala, wanted to set things straight. Because during the blessing, the woman didn't want to talk to hi
Finally the wedding day between Irlac and Princess Eleanor had been decided. Less than three weeks, then Irlac will officially become the husband of a princess. The king, queen and princess have returned to their kingdom to prepare all the necessities for the princess's wedding day.Meanwhile, Irlac will receive special education on how to be a companion for a princess. For three weeks with one day off, the former captain was given basic knowledge after obtaining a peerage. He will get the title before they get married. So before getting married, Irlac will attend the ceremony of his appointment as royalty.Since this event is so large and involves the two great kingdoms of Spain, it should not fail or be disturbed in the slightest. Therefore, King Louie purposely sent several bodyguards from La Chaires to be assigned to guard Irlac. More precisely, to prevent that person from running away on his own wedding day.A
Alessandro accidentally saw Irlac who had just come out of the palace and was heading to the training camp. But there is something strange about the handsome captain. His gaze was almost empty and devoid of direction. He just walked towards the camp and that was all he would do. He did not return the greeting of the soldier who happened to pass him. Even when someone accidentally knocked him down, he didn't reply with the slightest curse. In fact, he is known to be very cheap in cursing to all his men without exception. He just got up and then walked back as his brain told him to.Alessandro felt that the strange thing must have been caused by rumors that were circulating that the captain had the heart to injure the princess's arm and cause heavy bleeding. A few days have passed, but it seems the rumors are actually getting more and more widespread. Anyone who was there, would know that the captain didn't have the slightest intention of harming the princess. Esp
Irlac entered the archery arena with a troop of soldiers who had just joined his battalion. They are young people who want to devote themselves to be soldiers of the palace voluntarily. They were ready when he was in the middle of the field.“Thank you for wanting to join as a palace soldier. But one thing you need to remember, once you become part of us, you won't be able to get out of this place alive. You understand?”"Yes, understand, Captain!” they answered in unison.“Before starting this practice, were any of you already proficient in archery?” asked Irlac, looking at all the new recruits.There was no answer from the participants. No one is proficient with the bow. Irlac was forced to give an example of the most basic in archery. While giving an example of the correct archery position, suddenly a familiar figure appeared in his life from a few days ag
Several days passed. Alessandro's face was gloomy even since the sun had not yet appeared. This is the fourth day to be precise since the night they were caught by the king for kissing. Since that time, his life has become chaotic like a human who has no purpose in life or a human who does not have a single desire.Someone sat next to Alessandro then nudged his elbow into the prince's knee.“Lost in thought again, huh?”Alessandro just glanced and did not intend to answer. He seemed to have no life in him."Good grief. Good thing you're a prince. Otherwise I would have beaten you, Alessandro,” Irlac grumbled, who seemed to be acting as usual.“Shut up and go, Irlac. You're so annoying. Why don't you have the same character as Uncle Isac. Really annoying!” he muttered.An idea popped into Alessandro's head who heard th
Irlac had been brought by his father back to his room. He was still unconscious even though an expert healer had been summoned by the king to treat him.“Thank you, Handre,” Albert said to the royal physician after he had finished examining Irlac.“No problem, Albert. Irlac wasn't sick at all. It's just that, Irlac must rest completely so that he can wake up soon. The trauma he experienced was severe enough that he could still be in shock even though the trauma had not appeared for a long time. Long time does not appear, does not mean the trauma is gone. That's wrong thinking.”“Then is there anything I can do to treat my son's trauma?”“Fall in love. I suggest that your son can fall in love with any woman so that he can get well soon. We all know, if love can overcome all that is bad.”"How to?""On
It's not late at night. Princess Jasmine took a walk in the palace gardens. She intends to calm herself from the annulment of their engagement. Previously, she really wanted to refuse the engagement, which seemed very sudden. However, after seeing and talking for several hours with Prince Alessandro, she became fascinated by the advantages that the prince had in him. He is a polite, innocent, brave though a little careless. But it wasn't a big problem for her. She can still tolerate it.After the day she was made flowery all along with the prince, now at night she is actually made to be heartbroken. Maybe she was not destined to meet her soul mate. Looking up, the princess saw such a beautiful moon. Tired of looking up, the princess decided to return to her room. But she accidentally saw someone who was practicing the sword alone. His hand movements are very agile as if fused with the sword itself. After looking at it for a while, the princess realized that the
A few months later.Alessandro and Nirmala's relationship is getting closer. Almost every night they met at the lake like before. Because if they met in the palace many would know about the relationship. It was not Alessandro's desire to hide the relationship. However, it was Nirmala's request that made his hide their relationship. She, who was not a human, did not dare to reveal their relationship to others."Nirmala, what are you doing?" Suddenly a pair of hands that have now grown stronger hugged her slender stomach from behind. His sharp nose tucked into her long neck.Nirmala did not budge even though her lover was spoiling her. Sensing something strange, Alessandro stopped his action then turned Nirmala's body so he could face her."Why don't you answer me? Is something bothering you?” asked Alessandro as he smoothed Nirmala's hair that was covering her face. He brought the tuft of
