Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Death of the Black Witch’s Daughter (2)

Unlike most of her peers, Aurora wasn’t strong.

After a Witch goes through the 2nd awakening, they can no longer use basic magic. To use magic, you offer your mana to the spirit connected with the magic type. But for some reason, Witches lose the ability to connect with Spirits and instead awaken a 'unique' ability.

The ability she awakened was to see the future, which she called foresight. It may seem powerful, but there were so many restrictions to it that it was basically useless. Being only to see a few seconds in the future, she kept herself alive by running. After all, with no way to protect herself, it was all she could do.

But this time…she was betrayed by her own. For their own safety in exchange, they used their unique abilities to counter hers and trapped her. Unable to escape, she submitted to her fate.

The Empress frowned in displeasure when she saw that Aurora showed no reaction. Snapping her fan closed she pointed at the kneeling woman. “Enough! Take her to the prison and behead her in 3 days! Let her be an example to the other Witches, that this too will be their fate if they oppose the Imperial Family!”

The Knights holding her down forced her to stand. Just as they intended to drag her away, a deep voice called out.

“Wait.”

Everyone froze when realizing who this voice belonged to. Aurora’s heart trembled, giving rise to a faint hope.

Millianna’s face twisted, turning vicious. Was he going to show mercy to this daughter of his? She couldn’t allow such a thing to happen! To have that dirty woman’s daughter still live, she’d rather offend her husband than to concede!

She intended to open her mouth, but his next words calmed her down. She smiled in victory and reveled in his love for her. It was about time he moved on.

Ellias stood up from the throne. His cold eyes pierced through the young woman who stared at him with longing. When he ignored her, she smiled in grief and scolded herself for being naive. This man in front of her was no longer the Father who doted on her. He was simply a puppet for that woman and the nobles.

“No need to wait. I don’t want this woman’s blood to taint the Kingdom for any longer.” Ellias raised his hand, ordering his contracted spirit beast to burn her then and there.

A majestic white tiger with black strips appeared in front of the throne. When the tiger closed in on her, the Knights by her side backed up. Seeing this, Aurora started to panic at first. Was she really going to die by her Father's hands? Even though he was the one who called for her to be captured and executed a long time ago, she never thought he'd really kill her.

She never thought he had the heart to!

“Hah!” Aurora held back her tears and smirked. She refused to cry.

"Hahahahaha!" Losing her bearing, she laughed insanely. With her head held high, she glared at that middle-aged man garbed in lofty robes sitting on the silver throne. “I swear upon my name as the Black Witch’s daughter, Aurora Grannis Di Epheria, if I ever get another chance, I’ll get my revenge on those who have hurt me. I will destroy everything and everyone you love! So, you better pray to your Holy Temple that God doesn’t have mercy on my soul!”

Hearing this, some of the nobles’ faces blackened. Thinking she just cast a curse, they moved several feet away from her. As everyone was focused on the Witch’s last words, no one saw the slight hand movement of the Emperor when this occurred.

Just as the tiger opened his mouth wide, a magic circle appeared beneath her. Without anyone noticing, the jade necklace Aurora’s Father gave her on her 8th birthday, glowed and as if being sucked into her body, disappeared.

When seeing the strange magic circle Millianna stood up in shock. Before she could shout for the tiger to stop, her husband raised his voice.

“Kill her!” The tiger’s flames covered Aurora, burning her from her core. It ended too quickly for one to clearly see. When the flames died out, the granite floor was scorched, leaving only a black mark. Not even her ashes remained.

Seeing his daughter die in front of him, the Emperor only showed disdain. It made the other nobles fear him even more. “Clean this up.”

“Wait a - ” Before Millianna could say anymore, he glared at her.

“What else is there?”

The Empress paused when seeing that he wasn't happy. She didn't dare to bring up what she saw.

He turned away when seeing she had nothing more left to say.

He clutched his heart and grimaced as he recalled the look of disappointment and helplessness on his daughter’s face. Surely, it will haunt him for the rest of his life. “My daughter, this is all I can do for you.” He whispered to himself as he left without turning back.

The Empress was suspicious. That magic circle...it had the same layout of an array... Still, Millianna left it as it is. No matter what tricks he had up his sleeves, it was all useless now. With that woman and now her daughter out of the picture, this country and its Emperor now belonged to her.

Opening her fan, she placed it over her mouth, hiding her hideous smile. “Did you not hear your Emperor speak? Make this place spotless! I don’t want to be reminded of that woman's dirty blood every time I come here!”

With that, the Black Witch and her daughter were erased from existence. Witches were even more feared and hated by the human population. The Emperor had to answer his people's plea for justice and thus could not show any mercy. 

Witches were either hunted and slaughtered or turned into slaves.

One thousand years later.

Another tale was on the verge of beginning. Be it one of love or revenge, only time could tell.
