His Witch Queen - Chapter 99

Forex’s words only gave them insight into the things which they were willing to avoid at any cost. No, this was the last wish to come across. Alice was already marked as his possession? How?! Why?!

This shook their mind to the next core, leaving almost no space for negotiation. All they both did was to keep their mouth shut for the next few minutes, trying to adjust with all due information that landed inside the brain. Moreover, in their eyes, nothing was more important than Alice’s safety of Alice…

How will she be safe if she is with that vampire? There were tons of things that were still in a haze. Yet, King Vilas showed no interest to believe such as our sentiments either.

“Alice….life’s in danger or not, I want to know about that.” It was the first question that King Vilas asked, out of the worry that was caused around his heart. In return, Forex remained quiet but then gave them a strong shake. “She isn’t in danger right now. But…at a certain point, a situation might arise where she will decide everything for herself.”

“It will be the choice which she would make in the upcoming time, which will ultimately lead her life into the different phases. You can’t do anything for that, prince or King.” Forex was brutally honest, which snapped their heart into a million pieces.

However, they had no clue and with their hands already tied with a strong bond of threat, it was harder to imagine for them and accept the harsh reality that lay in front of their eyes.

Moreover, for them, Alice was the piece of their heart. As Prince Dominic’s fingers curled into a fist, he lowered his head to finally exit the cave without even taking peaks behind him. There was patience and tolerance, which had reached its peak already till now.

Neither did King Vilas try to stop his son. A sigh escaped from his lips, where he saw Dominic’s finger leaving the cave, into the wind that blew strongly outside. But then, King Vilas’s face swept to see Forex again to ask, “What about her death and powers?”

“She can’t die, this is the truth until she is willing to die herself. Nor can her husband kill her, in that both curses are meant to be merged together. Both of them are hard to kill, and that is the reason, I want King Vilas to find someone who can teach your daughter all the magic which she carries in herself.” Forex answered.

But these sentences brought a frown on the King’s forehead, hard to let go since it wasn’t easy to find any witch and send her to the other kIngdom.

“Alice can’t come here?”

“That is upon you if she has been married just now, I would suggest you not call her for now. Let her adjust there since it will take time to be apprised of the new land.” Forex’s suggestions ring a bell in King Vilas’s mind, which ultimately turned into a stern nod.

At last, he had answers which were already theft and carried strong power to assemble. Even though they felt sourness in their taste buds due to his brutal honesty, this was the ultimate mirror that had come out.

Probably. Alice herself wasn’t aware of who her husband is..

‘Lord…whom I have married her to..’ and the thought was already heartbreaking and imprinted in their minds.

Yet keeping a stone on his heart, for now, King Vilas passed Forex a strong nod to finally blurt out. “It was nice to see you after a long time. I will come if I find trouble again. Thank you for your time.”

“Anytime, His Highness’s. My place is always open for you to visit.” With this, King Vilas stood a bit to finally bid goodbye to Forex for now.

However, just when he was ready to step out from the cave, did Forex stop him from behind his back,

“Brother in law….”

The way of addressing shocked King. But not to the extent of surprise. After all, someone has called him with this connection after so long…

Turning around, his gaze fell straight down at the Forex, who was also looking at him with the serious turned expressions to connect. “I want you to take another advice of mine.”

“What is that?”

“On the way of thinking about Alice’s safety, don’t forget about your own enemies who are at the bay. You should be cautious too…” there was a thick heaviness in them, deep huskiness to conclude. The words weren’t normal, King Vilas sensed.

His eyes turned black, with the jaw turning rigid. The trembling expressions, and the eyebrows slightly covering with the frown, he passed him a nod to finally come out of the cave… only to not care about the words much.

But who knew…King Vilas was going to make another mistake very soon?

…

Meanwhile, in the Gazelle Kingdom, Alice had already enjoyed her own beautiful breakfast with her husband.

Soon, he had left the chamber to handle the personal affairs, and as told by him, her practice will also start from the day onwards. It was the first day when Princess Aura would guide her for the entire day, similar to how Lady Ashley had given her tour.

But this time, it won’t be simply the tour of the castle anymore.

When Alice’s eyes fell on Lady Aura stepping inside the castle, She immediately stood on her legs to bow slightly. “Greetings, lady Aura.”

“Greetings, Princess. It is nice to see that you have comfortably worn the dress of our Kingdom.” hearing the praise, Alice simply gave her a small smile in response.

“Anyways, from today onwards, I will assist you in different tasks. Today is my turn to help you and take you out from the castle into the local market so that you can be well versed with the different things.” In answer, Alice kept her keen eyes on her face.

Clapping the hand of the other, Lady Aura’s personal maids removed the cloth from their hands to bring out stuff present in the plate.

At the sight, it alarmed Alice so she enquired. “What is his..Lady Aura?”

“We are Royalties. If we show up there abruptly, many will not treat us like them. If we want to know about the Locals, we need to go into their own faces and features and that isn’t possible with this Royal attire.”

“As per my experience days, we will change our dresses. You are still new, and your face isn’t seen by the masses so you can keep your same hair and face. Whereas, I will be using a wig to cover up my hair and a bit of makeup on my face to make me slightly old too. We both are going to roam as the mother and daughter today. Do you understand that, Princess Alice?”

“Absolutely.”

At this stage, Alice realized that Lady Aura had automatically changed her demure. She was sweet but strict with her writings and teachings.

No wonder she was well versed and respected too in her field as no one will afford to mock her, only to get a beneficial answer by her side as well.

After getting a positive response from her side, Lady Aura nodded her head to look behind her and signal her maid.

“Help her dress with the local clothes which I brought. Also, remove the backcloth and the jewelry for now.”

“As per the lady.” one of the maids bowed slightly to finally step ahead and carry the dress.

As per the orders, lady Aura had actually left the chamber to go back to her own chamber and get dressed as per the custom.

Whereas, initially, Alice was made to sit on the dressing table. The maid helped her to remove the jewelry, along with her own personal maids that were Isa and Marrie. Along with their support, they have successfully removed all the jewelry off her shoulders and neck, gaining a sigh from her side.

A sweet chuckle left out from the maid’s lips, to answer. “Princess, you aren’t the only one who feels relief after removing such a hefty jewelry set.”

“As the lady, most of us are already accustomed to these. There is nothing new for me now..” Alice told happily, but she was still new to finding herself in such heavy attire after her marriage.

Back at her own castle, she always wore light clothes, except the formal occasions. After all, that’s her own homeland, and here is her in-law’s house…

In the next few minutes, the lady offered her the clothes. It was a dark brown colored gown, having a belt around its waist. “Princess, you are supposed to wear this.”

“Alright..” Alice mumbled. “Do you need some help from outside, Princess?”

“N-No need!” She was least interested in wearing and changing her attire in front of the maids. Automatically, she had asked her maid to stand out from the chamber, which they obediently did…

*AFTER A FEW MOMENTS!*

Outside the chamber, it was Lady Aura who had come in her own gown. With the help of the makeup, she did appear slightly old, which wasn’t new to witness either. She came straight away to her personal maids, to ask, “Where is Alice?”

“I’m ready, Lady Aura. Let’s go now…”
