The Red Witch 1. Birth of The Red Witch
I remembered that night. That pouring raining bight. The rain continuing It started to fall just after I found out my fiancé, David, and my sister, Rebecca, was in bed together - naked.My heart shattered into pieces to see my future husband and my very own sister together. David and I have known each other since we were kids. I've been in love with him since the first time I fell off the tree, and he saved me. All the happy memories that we shared were shattered like broken glass. Each precious memories from our childhood to lovers were all lies. I'm partially to blame since I've been working and helping him with his business. I've spent all my time and money to help him and support him from one failed company to another, and not once did I complain. But suddenly, he successfully opened a restaurant with the help of my younger sister. She works in a bank that helped start David's restaurant. I was thankful for her help, but every day Rebecca visits David while I'm not around. I
The Red Witch 2. Memory Lane
As we continue to travel down the road during the night and leave the snowy mountains where my castle resides. I close my eyes to rest but never expect to recall Alice Von Rozen's memory. Being an illegitimate of a duke and a lowly maid became a target of bullying and mistreatment. I never received the same treatment as my sister and older brother, Julian, who are both legitimate of the Duke and his wife, Lavender. I was treated below the social status of servants. In this Alice's memories, she was weak and timid, easy to get picked on by others. The maids and servants around Rozen's estate treated her like an insect. Easily disgusted and hated, and easy to stomp on. The only person who treated her nicely was her grandfather, Cornelius Von Rozen. A decorative war hero who fought during the war many years ago against the monsters. He was given the title of a duke after the war was over given by the king. The Rozen family are a long lines of warriors, born to fight in the war and hav
The Red Witch 3. The Return of the First Miss
"My lady, we've arrived." I opened my eyes after hearing Zayn's voice waking me up once the carriage stops. Blinking my drowsy eyes and yawning to stretch out my arms and stiff neck. I didn't realize I slept until a blanket was over me. Knowing the only person who's inside the carriage with me. I smile. Zayn steps out first as the sun is bright outside making my eyes blind. He extend his hand as I took it with his help in getting out. Took one step as my heels stepped on the ground. The first thing that caught my attention was the golden gate and the Rozen family sigil. "Miss Alice?" I blink my eyes and look at Zayn. "Let's go." I approached the gold gates as two guards stand in front. Once they spot me walking toward them, they were on high alert. "Excuse me, Miss, state your business?" The guard on the left asked with a little hostile tone. It's been five years and most of the servants here have never seen my face so I don't blame the guard to express that way to a stran
The Red Witch 4. Cornelius Von Rozen
"Please, right this way," Francis ushered me to my grandfather's study room. It's been a long time since I stood in front of these large doors. I remembered looking up at my short child's body. My neck would be stiff sometimes. Coming all the way here, nothing has changed here Francis knocked on the door twice and announced my arrival. "Grand Duke. Lady Evangeline has arrived," he opened the door. "Please." I nodded my head as Zayn, and I entered the room. Francis bows and closes the door. I stood frozen as the man with a strong aura of authority was right in front of me. The person who may seem cold on the outside, but I've seen him smile beneath that poker face expression with a long scar across his right eye. Cornelius Von Rozen. One of the four powerful dukes of Withhold. Four dukes serve and protect the kingdom. The Von Cornelius decorative war hero is also called the Black Knight. He was ruthless against his enemies and never showed any mercy. You must run whenever enemies
The Red Witch 5. The Archmage, Seraphina
How can this woman look like me? Every detail, from her face to her ruby red hair color except for the eyes other than that I'm like a splitting image of her. It's like seeing through a mirror, like a portrait of me that has never hung on the walls of this estate. "Who is she?" I asked as look up at the old man. "Seraphina Eckhart, Whitheld's strongest archmage, head of the Magic Tower, and your grandmother.""What?" My whole body cringed and froze at this sudden outcome. "My grandmother? But my father is her son if she's my grandmother?"Grandfather shakes his head. "No." He says firmly. "You are your father's daughter. Your mother, I did not know she was Seraphina's daughter."Did not know? If Seraphina is an archmage for this kingdom, a powerful one to be recognized, then why did her daughter, my mother, become a maid for the Rosen family? Being an archmage is one of the achievements in the world. Some people possess magic given by dragons. It said in ancient times, those who d
The Red Witch 6. No One Mess with The Red Witch
The feeling of the warm bath water washes away the dirty skin off me. After the talk with Cornelius, Francis ushered me to my room. It was late, and everyone was asleep. Grandfather wanted to surprise me on his birthday in front of everyone. The reaction is what I'm anticipating, especially Rebecca. As I bathed, I closed my eyes and recalled the stories about my grandmother, Seraphina, the Archmage of Whithold. Grandfather continue to reminisce about their childhood together. Sera wasn't a beauty, as my Grandfather told me. She had a boyish look and always got into fights with other kids. Grandfather would be her older brother and protect her. As many years went by, their friendship grew, even their appearances changed, and Cornelius fell in love with Sera. But before Cornelius could confess to Sera, his brother made it difficult and made my grandmother leave the Rozen estate to become the most powerful mage. Sera's reputation was known 50 years ago till this day. Her sacrifice s
The Red Witch 7. Little White Rabbit
I let out a quick yawn as I have four maids to get me ready for the birthday party tonight. I slept late reading Sera's journal filled with entries about her daily life and information involving magic. It is a thick book, and I haven't finished it. I fell asleep with the journal on my chest. I continued to read after waking up and then took a nap. Since I couldn't leave the room without my family noticing me, they wouldn't want a woman in a white gown walking down the hallway like a wondering ghost. I mean, I won't mind and haunt them, but I'm too lazy to call Prisca maybe to give them a scare. I know she would love to pull on pranks. That would be a grand sight to see. But I don't want to bring any more of my people here and scare off the guest. People wouldn't like me to get monsters to attend the party. Thinking of my friends made me miss home, and I wanted to get this done and over with. I yawned again. "My lady, would you like a cup of tea?" One maid, Lucy offered. I reac
The Red Witch 8. Let Me Stay By Your Side
I inhaled slowly and was a bit nervous as I squeezed my hand. A warm hand is placed over mine as I glance at Grandpa. "Relax," he says and reaches to touch my face. "You will ruin your makeup."I softly giggle. "It's normal for me to be nervous, Grandpa. After all, it's been a while since people have seen my face."His hand over mine clenched. "Alice, whoever tried to kill you five years ago, let me handle this case."I closed my eyes and then opened them. I know Cornelius was furious to learn about the assassination attempt. I'm glad he wants to track down the villain who killed me, but he doesn't know what the killer is, none other than his other granddaughter. If Grandpa knew his blood was the culprit, family punishment would be more severe than servants. The rule in this family is never to hurt any family members, including death. Rebecca knew the rules, yet she still killed this Alice. But now I've taken over this body. Once she sees her older half-sister alive and well, it wi

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
The Red Witch 40. Protect What's Mine
"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 Red Witch 39. Start of the Mate Bond - part 2
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
The Red Witch 38. Start of the Mate Bond - part 1
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

Many have lost their lives during that reign.It took almost a whole year until Gorik defeated Elderon.It drove Elderon into hiding and led Gorik into a deep slumber to restore his magic.But Elderon returned to take over the humans until my grandmother stepped in and sealed him.Long story short, Elderon has yet to be defeated but is locked up.

He explains. "It seems he told of her fate.""Her fate?"Icarus then told me something unexpected. The dragon knew my mother would end up in Rozen Estate, how that bastard father would force hims
The Red Witch 36. Stories of the Past
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
The Red Witch 33. Afraid of Being Alone
My eyes snap wide open, and my body feels warm; I can feel it sweat.That dream was intense, or should I say memory. 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. It's rare for anyone to have such hair color. If this world were a video game, platinum blonde hair wou
