Chapter 59: The Dead Witch

As they walked in she noticed that all the soldiers were bowing their heads to the Don. And questions started to arise in her heart about his identity.

Before this, she was very occupied to notice but slowly she was realising that the man can't be just a soldier if he can roam in the royal dungeons and can command so many soldiers.

Did she mistake his identity?

Can he be not a normal soldier but a high-status general?

Or maybe an army commander. After all, with such strength, he could be an army commander.

Silja kept doing the equation in her head and soon they reached the whole underground prison.

After some twists and turns, they finally reached in front of a big wall. Two men were standing in front of it.

Don pushed some tiles on the wall and Silja heard a wall opening up to the side.

She was amused with the technology. If no one knew from the start that there is a door they will never be able to find the cell.

As the door slid down they saw a woman standing before them.

Both of her hands were bound with the iron chain to the ceiling and her head was hanging low.

There was hardly any light inside.

Don walked in and Silja followed. Her heart thudded in her chest. She didn't know what she would do if the woman spilt something out.

But staying there, she could prevent her from speaking or something else. She didn't know what she would do or what was going to happen but it was better that she was there. Anyway, it was better than staying away and feeling anxious.

Just thinking that she felt her heartbeat being messed up and Don who has good hearing noticed this.

He looked at her and saw her pale face.

"Stay here," he asked her to stay close to the door and then he moved in the direction of the witch but suddenly he halted his step.

Something wasn't right.

He couldn't hear her heartbeat.

He narrowed his eyes and walked forward. He lifted her head and saw her purple face. A pendant that she had in her mouth fell on the floor with a clank.

She was dead.

She took poison.

How in the hell can they make this big mistake? Don felt enraged.

The line on his forehead deepened and lips pressed in thin lines out of anger.

The woman knew what was going to happen to her so she took the poison to save herself from the torture.

Don's chest heaved in anger. How did his soldiers forget to check her before locking up here?

Even he didn't realise that something like this could happen.

One more chance to find out something died with her.

She just escaped his clutches. Don pursed his lips as he saw her dead face. He was just about to flare up but stopped because of Silja's voice.

"What's wrong?" Silja, who saw his odd behaviour, asked from behind.

"Dead," Don replied in one word as he controlled his anger.

"What?" Silja couldn't believe what she was hearing.

For a second she was shocked and then suddenly she understood and involuntarily a smile spread on her lips.

If the witch is dead that means she didn't have to worry about her secret being exposed?

Silja never felt that much happier for anyone's death before.

"She is poisonous," Don gritted his teeth as he spoke.

And Silja detected hidden anger in his voice. So she speedily made her face grave and walked ahead.

"How?" She stood two steps away from there. It was good to double-check. She thought. But she was also curious that in a chamber where even an ent can't enter who gave her poison.

"From that," he pointed at the broken pendant on the floor.

Silja looked at it for a bit before she bent down to take it but Don stopped her.

"Don't touch, it can be dangerous," he said.

Silja then nodded that there was a possibility that it still has poison on it. Silja then looked at the woman's face which had turned completely purple. The veil she was wearing before was not covering her face anymore.

The lips were turned black from coughing the blood and there were so many blood droplets sprinkled all over because of her coughing.

The poison must have been lethal to take her life in just a matter of an hour.

"Come let's go," Don said and stormed out of the room.

Silja wanted to check one more time and confirm that the woman was actually dead but she restrained herself and went out.

"What now?" Silja asked him as they walked out.

"I will handle it from here, you should go to your chamber now," he said.

Silja wanted to say something but there was nothing so she nodded her head in the end.

She could see that he was bothered. She thought that the witch had died on his watch and that's why he was angry. Maybe the king will blame it on him for not keeping a close eye on her.

"Don't worry, it wasn't your fault. If it weren't for you she might have been successful in her mission, and I'm sure King Zachary will understand that too," Silja said looking at him.

Don looked at her and saw her sincerity and forgot all his anger for a second.

She was thinking that he was worried about being scolded by the king?

Don lifted his eyebrows first and then smiled a little.

"Got it," he said.

Then he sent Silja out with other soldiers to escort her to her chamber and he started to handle the remaining matter.

The latter Beth sent in the form of a bird flew all the way south and reached near the spellbound castle.

In the High tower, Kruel was sitting on his throne with his eyes closed waiting for the good news.

Suddenly his eyes opened as he saw a bird flying in his direction.

It wasn't a real bird but a bird made out of a spell to send the letters.

It was one of the skills of Witches. Their letters can only be seen by the person for whom it has been written. So there was no issue of it falling into the wrong hands.

As the bird came near Kruel smiled and snapped his fingers.

Resulting in the bird exploding in many many small sparks and the words started to form in the air with golden letters. But as he read what was written his eyes started to narrow. At last, a dangerous smirk spread on his lips.

"What? A powerful witch?" Evillene asked after hearing what his son said.

He told her about Beth's letter.

"Yes, it is written that there is a powerful witch working on their side and Beth fought with her," Kruel replied.

"It can be a normal witch too," his mother lifted his eyebrows. She was sitting on a chair with her black clothes on.

"Sucking all power from beth? Didn't seem a work a normal or slightly powerful witch can do to me," Kruel looked at his mother.

"Hmm?" Evillene put her hand under his chin as she mulled over it.

"So we didn't get the crest and now they have a powerful witch on their side," she analyzed the situation.

"King Zachary is also trying to gather power and according to the latest report from our people, the human King has also chosen their side," Kruel reported.

"I'm aware, but what did Zachary offer him to change his typical mentally?" Evillene lifted her head and took a sip from the cup in front of her.

"King Evan is not someone easily pursued," the woman lifted his eyebrows.

"Maybe they didn't like our way of pursuing," Kruel laughed. For quite some time the Witches were trying all the dirty means to surpass the humans and force them to take their side.

But Evan Castemont the stubborn King never bulged.

And maybe Zachary being sly as always took advantage of that and took humans on their side.

"Hmm, so they have the support of the humans, a very powerful witch on their side and a royal crest," Evillene replied.

"Humans can increase numbers but they are not to fear off. One Witch couldn't do much harm to us no matter how powerful she is. In the end about the crest, so as long as they couldn't collect all four elements they can't break the curse. So as far as I see there is nothing to fret about," Kruel smiled and leaned back on his chair.

"Unn..unn.. never let your guards down thinking that the enemy is too weak. Even a small ent is enough to kill the elephant," Evillene stated.

"So what do you suggest, mother?" Kruel asked.
