The Red Witch 11. You No Longer Have A Daughter
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
The Red Witch 13. Happy Dust
"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
The Red Witch 16: Cake Flavors
"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 Red Witch 17. The Unexpected Guests
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
