Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Red Witch: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

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

"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 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

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

"Becky," using her nickname affectionately as I smile. I sense Zayn close by recording. "Y-You...You..." she's trembling not of fear but anger. I can catch on with her emotions, and it's overwhelming. I wanted to laugh. "Are you happy that I'm alive?" I asked her.I watched her fist unhooked as she inhaled deeply before showing off that fake innocent look. "I'm sorry, sister. I was just shocked to see you alive and well."Then Rebecca threw her arms around me. "I'm so happy," her body trembles again as she pulls away to watch fake tears forming in her eyes—such an award-winning actress. "I'm so happy you are alive. I've heard you were poisoned and taken away by the assassins. I tried to look for you, but I couldn't find you. I even asked Crown Prince Daniel to help with the search."My body flinched as my eyes twitched. Does she think I would be affected by the mention of Crown Prince Daniel like she expects me to be jealous and show off her love for the man this Alice was supposed
