‘This wasn’t unusual—witches were notorious for being volatile,
crazy bitches.
"Please, your ladyship, calm down! We are soldiers of the Royal
Family! Please, stop!"
At the mention of Royal Family, I did what any sane person would
—I stopped whipping them.
They showed me a golden insignia—the real one
"Fine! But get the hell out of my sight, you filthy perverts!" I
snapped the whip again, and their eyes lingered suspiciously on
the house behind me.
‘They exchanged glances—silent signals—annoyance and hidden
intent flashing in their expressions.
Maybe they didn’t believe me completely, but they left. I exhaled
sharply, nearly collapsing from the tension, my wrists sore.
Iwas terrible at playing the evil witch. I scanned the surroundings
‘They were really gone—for now. Something felt off. Why had they
given up their pursuit so easily?
I walked toward the darkened house, my senses on high alert.
Opening a window, | slipped inside, bracing for an attack that

from this whole humiliating mess.
At least I had accomplished my goal—he had escaped.
I left a hidden spell behind. If he returned, I would know. He was.

So why were the Royal Family’s soldiers after him? That night, we
found an inn nearby.
Unfortunately, thanks to the auction and the city’s fairs, it was

"T’ll step out so you can bathe," Silas said once we were settled in
