DESTINY GIRL

104. Terra Witch

The waiters of the restaurant immediately prepared tables and chairs for the King, Queen and Princess TREXODIA. It was common for the royal family to eat here with a simple appearance. The best food and drink is served without being ordered.

Queen Elena makes a voice protector so that their conversation is not heard by other visitors.They eat while discussing about Rey's arrival.

" We are honored by your visit, Princess. Sorry for not making a proper welcome ", said Queen Elena.

" There's no need to bother, Queen" Rey replied.

" Is there anything important that makes you come all the way to this region ? " ask Alexander

" Yes... This is related to a witch standing behind Destraco. I'm trying to find traces of him " said Rey.

" What does the Princess mean ? " ask Elena

" I feel like there's been someone in control of Destraco's life all along. Maybe a thousand years ago. Some want it against ASTRACO or want something else "

" is it possible............. Terra Witch ? " ask Elena in doubt.

" Terra Witch ? who is she ? " Rey wants to know.

" When I was a child, my grandmother told me about the ASTRACO Kingdom in the past. It is said that ASTRACO kingdom has 2 twin sons but different nature. Prince Destraco repeatedly harmed Prince Astraco. King James eventually banishes Destraco with his nanny Terra. Terra was actually the King's best friend. But that always affected Destraco. Terra is jealous and vengeful for not being chosen as Queen "Elena told me.

" Ooooh...... "

All of them who heard it pondered a little. It turns out that love that claps one hand makes the world so nauseous....

He.he.he.....

" It is best that the Princess and the guards stay in the palace tonight" King Alexander said. They stepped together back to the palace.

In the palace, they gathered in the living room. King Alexander played chess with Asgar. Xenia and Zigaz play ludo. Rey talks to Queen Elena.

" Queen Elena, is there anything else you know about the Terra Witch ? "

" Of course, Princess, the Terra Witch has long embraced black magic. He secretly drank blood to stay young. He also often poisoned the Queen's drink. But the Queen knew it and kept it in her heart. He only pretended to be sick when he was chatting with Terra. The Queen did not want to tell the King, as Terra was the King's best friend from childhood. In the end Destraco himself told the King about Terra. That's why they were expelled.

Then, after several thousand years, a royal astrologer said that the soul of Prince Astraco had found its place. The royal family and the elders immediately searched for the drops of the Prince of Astraco and built a protective dome to avoid the evil witch.

Then a few thousand more years an ordinary astrologer said there would be a baby born with unlimited power at the time of a solar eclipse. I think Terra and Destraco both heard about it and wanted it "

" That's right. I've already exterminated Destraco's soul. But I haven't found Terra. Someone said that it was likely that Terra was hiding in dark places. I thought he was in TREXODIA, but all the territory that passed by had no sign of him. So it's likely that he's in the largest forest or the forbidden forest "

" There it is, the forbidden forest..... ! On the border there are ruins of ancient buildings. We ask Alexander "

They drew near to King and Asgar. The king glanced at them.

" What's up ? "

" My husband, can you tell me about the ancient ruins in the forbidden forest ? "

King Alexander looked at his wife with furrowed brows. Elena grinned.

" It's not me. But Princess Rey.... "

" Call me Rey, Queen... "

" Ehm...... Princess Rey. He was curious about the ancient ruins "

King Alexander breathed.

" It's an ancient place of worship. Hundreds of years ago black magicians killed young girls or babies every full moon for their blood to draw. In the end they were annihilated by the witches of the land of light. Then the forest was sealed by the King of Light at that time so that no man would enter it "

" That means the witch can still enter ? "

Rey and Elena looked at each other.

" Who's Princess Rey looking for ? " ask King Alexander as he sips a warm body red wine (low alcohol).

" The Terra Witch "

" Bruusssti...... Uhuk-uhuk.......... "

Elena immediately patted the King on the back. While Rey gives her brooms to Asgar to wipe his face affected by the spray.

" I'm sorry.. uhuk-uhuk. Asgar could only grimace. Rey and Elena laughed.

" he.hi.hi.... "

Zigaz and Xenia sat down to join forces. After he calmed down, the King continued his story.

" There were some old witches who escaped back then. One of them is the Witch Terra. They are like grandmothers if they do not get the blood of a holy girl or baby. The skin will blacken and smell like carrion. There used to be a lot of TREXODIA girls who became dry corpses. There are also newborn babies. But now it's better. The entire TREXODIA region always lights torches at night. Maybe only livestock or travelers who get lost in the forest are victims. Sometimes it will appear in the afternoon when the sun will sink. Young children may be targets "

The four of them silently looked.

" Daughter Rey intended to go to the ancient ruins ? " ask Elena worried.

" Is it far away ? " ask Rey.

" The forbidden forest is on the western border of TREXODIA Kingdom with ARZANTE Kingdom. Pass 5 cities and 4 villages from here. The ruins are in the middle of a forest near rivers and cliffs. That river is the border of our country "King Alexander explained in detail.

" Okay, it's late. We continue the conversation tomorrow" Elena said.

They all went up to their rooms.

* * * * *

The next morning they met again at the dinner table while having a light conversation. The king then took them to the office.

" Did the Princess go to the ruins ? " ask King Alexander.

" Yes.... "

" We will take you there, said Queen Elena.

" No. don't..... I will not put you in danger "

" So how will the Princess go there ? That's too far.... "

" May I borrow the eyes and memories of King Alexander heading there ? "

" Oh.... How is it ? "

" Oh, Queen Elena please hold King Alexander's hand "and Rey holds Queen Elena's hand.

" Xenia, please take over the temporary royal duties. Asgar and Zigaz, please stop anyone from interrupting us "Rey ordered.

The three of them immediately walked out while closing the door.

" King, please close your eyes and hold on to the Queen. Imagine all of us flying together through one city, village and forest towards the ancient ruins "

They floated past many people in towns, small forests and villages. All the sights match the memory of the King while on the trip.
