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
The Red Witch 19. Thinking of Him
I slept through a peaceful night, but my eyes were open as I tried to sleep. After Daniel and the other princes came over the other day continued to linger in my mind. Joining forces crosses my mind. I've told Grandfather I'll be taking the Happy Dust case alone, but it seemed that King Augustus couldn't sit still after what happened to his son. I tossed and turned in my king-size bed and gazed up at the ceiling, unsure if I had picked the right choice.I didn't want Whithold to be involved with something they hadn't dealt with before. Two years ago, I destroyed the operation and ensured Happy Dust was no more. But it has resurfaced and involved the royal family of Whithold. If not destroyed completely, they will have it spread all over the world.I let out a frustrated groan.Pull up the sheets over my chest and try to sleep. But my eyes sprung open when I felt an uneasy presence entering my open balcony doors. It's an assassin. A male, around five foot eight, skinny, not muc
The Red Witch 20. A Dream or The Future?
Something tickled my nose. I wiggled from its touch and flung it away from my face as I opened my eyes at the light blue sky. "Huh?" I was confused and unaware that I had slept outside. "Why am I outside? Shouldn't I be in my bed?" I vaguely remember I lay in my bed waiting for Bastian to bring my tea, then the next thing I woke up in a grassy field lying under a tree that sat across a beautiful crystal blue lake. Did I accidentally use magic to teleport me here? I looked down at my clothes. I wasn't wearing my nightgown but a beautiful white dress. I reached to touch my hair and pulled out flowers. I sniffed the flower to smell the fragrance. These are real, and the texture is real. I got up, leaving the cool breeze caressing my skin and blowing my dress and hair. I scan my eyes around to find this place peaceful and harmonized. Birds are chirping, and the trees are dancing along with the flowers as the wind blow. Everything here is...quiet. I don't have to deal with a two-f
The Red Witch 21. The Birthday Party
It's finally here. The birthday party of the year for Zayn. Today he turns into a man - a beastman. Once he transitions during a full moon, tonight is when his powers are awake. That is how beastman and women evolve. I had everything prepared for Zayn. Having his birthday at night, everyone wears a costume to give that Halloween theme. Here in this world, they never heard of Halloween and its traditions of dressing up as characters or monsters of your choice and receiving sweet treats.Halloween is one of my favorite holidays back in my other life. I love to dress up and go around different houses and get candy. Rebecca would wear expensive costumes my parents will buy her and a princess outfit every year as a child. As for me, I had to find scraps around and improvise. It's not much, but it's to celebrate Hallow's Eve.Since I couldn't celebrate Halloween in my old life, why not introduce it in this life? After all, we already have the creatures and monsters fitting the theme.
