Distant away from Rebecca, I made a left and hid.

Peeking at my sister, who seemed frustrated and panicked, I left the hall. I place my hand over my beating heart.

"My Lady," Zayn appeared from the shadows.

"Did you get it?"

"Captured the whole thing," he states, then hands me the A-Phone. "But she didn't reveal anything that you anticipated."

I look down at the crystalized object in my hand. Touching the screen to unravel the video, I smirk once my sister's stupid face is on. I paused the video.

"No, but it riled her up." I crossed my arms over my chest. "Nagini."

I called my familiar as he slithered around my neck. I reach over to rub his tiny head. "Nagini, follow my innocent sister. Be my eyes and ears."

The black snake slithered down from my neck to the ground and made his way in the direction where Rebecca had left.

"Once Nagini implant himself on Rebecca, we can use this to hear the conversation on whoever she will be with."

"You're brilliant, Lady Alice," Zayn gleamed as

  • The Red Witch   12. What is Wrong with Me?

    I avoided my father until I entered the garden. It was the garden Francis showed me as a tribute to my grandmother, Sera. Francis said Grandfather built this garden because it was the day he fell in love with her. Her presence here is what made his heart skip a beat. He also says these are her favorite flowers.While I waited for Zayn to grab my coat, I insisted on using magic, but he warned me that I would be found out by anyone, maybe my father, Rebecca or Daniel. And it won't look pretty if the people from the Magic Tower find out. I don't want to deal with them and become the savior. I want a peaceful life in my castle and with the people around me.Speaking of Daniel, I noticed his presence when I stopped to sit at the fountain. I pretend not to know, dip my fingers in the water, and use magic to turn ice cold. "Alice."I looked at his reflection in the water and ignored him. Hopefully, my cold attitude would make him leave but appearing on his face tells me he had somethi

    "My Lady?"I stared blankly at Zayn until Daniel called out, almost catching me off guard that I'd been staring at Zayn."Alice, please, I need to.""You mustn't get close to my Lady," Zayn growls, standing between the prince and me. He's bold to bare his teeth at Daniel but keeps his canines hidden. "You…how dare you to block a prince's path," Daniel says in his authoritative tone. I didn't want Zayn to meet the crown prince like this. He had heard of my broken heart because of Daniel and vowed to rip his head off even though he was a prince. But right now, Zayn is trying to stand his ground and not cause me trouble."You may be my Lady's betrothed, but if my Lady doesn't want to see you, then you should respect her wishes," Zayn says."Alice, would you mind telling your slave to mind his business? This is between you and me."I glare at Daniel. Everyone knew Zayn was a servant of mine besides being my escort. Grandfather made sure not to reveal his identity as a beastman. The g

  • The Red Witch   14. Nothing Will Change

    I teleport Zayn and me to the hall of the mansion. It would have been better to appear in Grandfather's office, but he wouldn't be there. "Do you think it's alright to leave the prince there?" Zayn asked. "I don't want to deal with him unless we get to the bottom of this drug." I still can't believe the drug was made again and had reached the capital. The Suburb has the most significant rate of low-class commoners and homeless people. Many people there are unhappy with their life, so half of them take the life of crime. "Let's go, Zayn."I was walking down the hall to reach Grandfather's office when the door suddenly opened as Julian, my older brother, exited. He peered at me with a look, and I returned a glare. It seems he and Grandfather had a talk in private about something. It had me curious, but I wasn't going to ask Julian.I pull on an attitude and bypass him without saying a word. "Alice."I stop in my tracks. Zayn was lowly growling as I turned around. "Oh, brother, I

  • The Red Witch   15. The Confession of an Angry Witch

    Today is the last day I stay in the Rozen estate. I need to spend breakfast with my immediate family, and then I'm off. Last night I talked with Grandfather about the Happy Dust and explained the symptoms and the dangers of anyone who takes them. He was enraged that something like that happened during his birthday and at the royal family. He will report to the king about this, which will start an epidemic. If this drug is spread outside of Whithold, thousands of people will get addicted and die. I had to hold him back from meeting with the king as it shouldn't panic the civilians. I assured him I'd take the case as I had encountered it before. But Grandfather was worried about the dangers I would be involved in if it came to dark cults, bandits, or dangerous people who weren't revealed to the world. I'm happy he's concerned for my safety, but it's part of my job to make the world a better place and to give peace. "So, you are leaving today, Alice," Lavender spoke up after takin

    "Alice!"Grandfather boomed, trying to break me from the magic I was illuminating.When I didn't hear him, a hand covered my eyes, and a soothing voice in my ear told me to calm down.I knew it was Zayn's voice, and instantly, I eased up and pulled back my magic. I inhaled and then exhaled sharply. "You can let go, Zayn," I say calmly. Once he let go of his hand. I opened my eyes and found the whole room in shambles. Broken glasses and tableware were on the floor, the food was scattered, and everyone was hidden to escape my outburst. My family and the servants were scared that I had to relax."What happened here?" Grandfather asked as he stood between the family and me. "I've been away for two minutes, and I come to this?""Grandfather!" Rebecca cried out to him and grabbed his arm. "It was Alice. She did this. She tried to kill mother and me.""It's true, Father," Lavender approaches innocently, adding more fuel to the accusations. "She told me herself. I was only worried about a s

    The next few days were busy as I had to confirm the preparations for Zayn's party next week.The decorations, the catering, the cake, and Zayn's outfit for the party must all be perfect, and I have to ensure everything is what I had ordered. I multitasked with the party and the papers left on my desk when I set out to Whithold. More of those Happy Dust has fallen in a tiny village in the coastal area. It stated that the town had lost its people when purple smoke appeared. This caused the villagers to become hysterical and hallucinate. Then they vanished.Happy Dust doesn't give off such symptoms. Did they create an advantage to speed up the process?This is giving me a headache. "Mistress?" Bastian entered my office and brought tea. Good timing because this stress keeps increasing. "Are you alright?"He places the teacup on the desk as I lean against my chair, pinching the bridge of my nose. "I've only been gone for a few days, and reports from my generals have all the same issue in

  • The Red Witch   18. Princes of Whithold

    Miffy and the other maids changed my outfit into a bold, more intimidating look to present before the royal princes.It still baffles me that those three princes decided to visit my domain. Was it the king's idea? Since the Crown Prince and I aren't engaged is he trying to set me up with the other two bachelors? I thought marrying into the royal family don't be needed for an alliance.Well, I have to see what their unexpected visit means."You look stunning, Mistress!" Another bunny maid, Daisy Mae, commented. All the other maids agree and blush.I look at the mirror and smirk. "You girls have always done a great job making me look this beautiful."I know I've always been beautiful. In my past life, I never cared about makeup, fixing my hair, or wearing nice clothes because I worked multiple jobs to pay off that damn bastard, Daniel. Now in this world, I can afford anything and wear anything without worrying. I have maids to dress me up like a doll, and I don't mind being spoiled

  • The Red Witch   19. Thinking of Him

    I slept through a peaceful night, but my eyes were open as I tried to sleep. After Daniel and the other princes came over the other day continued to linger in my mind. Joining forces crosses my mind. I've told Grandfather I'll be taking the Happy Dust case alone, but it seemed that King Augustus couldn't sit still after what happened to his son. I tossed and turned in my king-size bed and gazed up at the ceiling, unsure if I had picked the right choice.I didn't want Whithold to be involved with something they hadn't dealt with before. Two years ago, I destroyed the operation and ensured Happy Dust was no more. But it has resurfaced and involved the royal family of Whithold. If not destroyed completely, they will have it spread all over the world.I let out a frustrated groan.Pull up the sheets over my chest and try to sleep. But my eyes sprung open when I felt an uneasy presence entering my open balcony doors. It's an assassin. A male, around five foot eight, skinny, not muc

  • The Red Witch   41. The Child of Zayn

    Zayn and I appeared at the front gate of Gauford in the country of Ferona, where one man governs, and he's the man I'm going to see."Lady Alice," Zayn grabbed my arm before I stepped."Zayn, I told you not to be so formal with me," taking his hand. "We are husband and wife now."He blushed."Well, on your terms, but once we return home, let's have a proper wedding."Then Zayn pulls a smile. "I would love that.""Okay, now let's see Merkoff and chat with him."As I approached the gate, a line of people was already going into the city. Usually, to enter one's city, one would need a gate passed with an authorized signature from a guild or someone with power. But the line isn't moving, and people who want to get through are complaining."Seems this line has not moved, Alice."I nod my head. With my palm, I magically appear a pass—my own. Since I run my domain, they shouldn't question it. But just to be so cautious. I skipped the line and approached the guards at the gates."Excuse me

    "Zayn?" I sat up on the bed, looking at him. "My love, what is it? Why with the tears?"Suddenly talking about his time with this man name Merkoff must be an unpleasant memory. That is what got my blood boiling. My body is warm from the release of my magic. "Zayn, what did he do?"Zayn sat up but kept his head down to avoid eye contact with me. Looking at his eyes, he knows I can read him like a book.I grip his chin to face me. "Zayn, what did that man do?" I asked again, not to flash my anger towards him. His expression is distraught, and advert his eyes, his body trembling. Zayn just recently became a man, but the mind of his past is still intact. Although we did an adult thing together, and I feel like I did something inappropriate, beast people mature faster than humans. Zayn was just a child, and to think he had experienced something so horrifying and traumatic pissed me off. I got off the bed."Alice, where are you going?"I snapped a bit of my magic to dress myself fully.

    The way of pleasure has overwhelmed me since the start. Zayn was not playing around when he took his sweet revenge by ramming me hard. But he made sure not to be too rough. Since he had entered me, I could only feel hot and scream. I held him tight against me as he thrust. My nails dug into his skin. It has been a while since I felt this way. With David, he was good at first at the start of our relationship, but after dating, he stopped trying to please me, and I see it as pity sex. When we have sex, the feelings from that start to fade as if he is bored looking at me, about everything about me. Like he has lost love for me. I open my eyes and look up at Zayn's perfectly sweaty complexion. All thoughts of my past relationship with David started to replace Zayn's face, and I couldn't be happier to forget David and think about the now. I pulled Zayn's face and locked lips with him. Our tongue swirl around. I moaned from the wet kiss. "I love you," I whispered in his ear. He g

    Warning.Sexual Content is advised.I teleported Zayn and me to a secret place I could only access.I watched the curious wolf, confused and alarmed by this particular place. "What is this place?" He asked me. He poked a bobblehead figure and then flinched back wry at it. I created the same item when I went to New York for my second anniversary with David."This," I plopped down on my bed, relaxing. "This is my apartment."“A-part-ment?”I chuckled at his cute expression. "When I transgressed into this world and learned of my powers, I decided to create a sanctuary where I can be myself," I say, brushing my hand over the soft cushion. "I had recreated my apartment into this small space."I used a lot of my magic to make a replica of everything from my memories. Every piece of furniture, nook, cranny, and decoration is in my apartment. I want to feel like I'm back home when I'm here. But it's been a long time since I have been here. Zayn must be so confused and unfamiliar with this

    When I asked a susceptible question about my mother's upbringing, it brought sadness to Icarus' face. It seemed another topic he wished he never wanted to discuss. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked," I told him, feeling guilty. "I just...I just wanted to know how my mother ended up at Rozen Estate." I put down my cup and clasp my hands on my lap. "I never knew my mom, but I heard from some of the maids says she was a beautiful and kind woman. She always smiles, does her work diligently, and never complains once." I wish I could meet my mom. In my other life, my other mother as a similar personality as Sylvia. I was saddened that this body had not met her mother, but I did. Sylvia died from childbirth and left poor Alice alone in a world without love. "I know you can foresee how I experience loneliness and neglect by my father." I clenched my fist. "And judging by your expression, you know I'm not from this world."For a sage like him, he should know everything, including the bey

  • The Red Witch   35. The Great Sage, Icarus Vladimir

    I could not comprehend what I heard after I passed out again. I woke up after an hour of passing out because of the magic locked up inside me. I was reintroduced to Icarus Vladimir, known as the Great Sage. Someone who can foresee the past, present, and future. He is someone who I've wanted to meet. Someone can tell me about my grandmother, Sera, and their relationship. Just looking at the man, he looks no older than thirty. He has a face of a young man but has white hair and a beard making him look similar to Albus Dumbledore or Gandalf. But I see no wrinkles anywhere to tell he is old, but if he knew Sera, he must be over 50 years old. Sages are different from witches. Sages hold not only great power but also knowledge as well. They also possess elements and connect with element spirits who they contract with.He's a powerful Elementalist. I had never heard of this person nor read about him in books, but the gold dragon told me to seek answers from him because of his wisdom.

  • The Red Witch   34. I’m a Fake!

    I hate feeling vulnerable.Weak, especially in front of Zayn as I confessed my honest feelings. In my past life, I never received love from my father, stepmother, and sister. After my mother died, my father remarried and abandoned me for his new family. I was left alone. That is until Grandpa Jesus saved me and took me in. Even with his age, he provided my education, a roof over my head, clothes to wear, and food to fill my stomach. Grandpa Jesus raised me until he left me. I was alone again. Then David came into my life. I thought I found happiness with him, and he loved me. But…I was blinded to falling for a guy like David. I did everything to please him. I dropped out of school to work and help with his businesses. I worked harder than he ever did. And when I had enough of wanting to break up, he apologized with expensive gifts, and his sweet words swayed me.I was stupid back then because I loved him. I gave up my dress for him and returned used me, humiliated my pride, an

It was Sera's memories of the day she fought that evil dragon and sacrificed herself to save the world from his demise.My brain is still fizzled from seeing my grandmother's memories, but I felt I was there to see why Sera did what she did. Me.The evil dragon, Eldron, wanted my mother; still a child, to steal Alice, who wasn't born yet, as his bride. The thought of having a child bride sickens me.Who wants to marry an evil dragon obsessed with power?But Sera and the dragon mentioned a prophecy about the next Red Witch. My grandmother said that Icarus foresaw the downfall of the black dragon at the hands of the subsequent Red Witch - me.If my memories are correct, my mother, who had no magic, wasn't a redhead but blonde—more light platinum blonde, almost white.
