DUKE'S CONTRACT WIFE
Wife Contract duke [19]
The soldier's body dried up, his eyes came out next to him, his tongue was cut in half, and his hands and feet were bent. Everyone became anxious that the situation in the previously calm duchy territory was now turning into a tadpole! Apparently the anticipation made by the Grand duke failed!
Want as tight as his guard it will never be able to stop the Emperor who already knows the ins and outs of every region. This news reached the ears of the Grand Duke, Theo was really anxious for the safety of the people and his wife. He did not want something to happen to Arabella, besides Theo also loved the people who lived in the duchy. He doesn't want anyone to be a victim anymore.
"Why is it like this? Who is the person who has terrorized us? Why did he do all this? And why hasn't the Emperor taken any firm action?" Theo was very confused should the current Emperor have intervened and eradicated the terror however.. Now the Emperor did not even show his nose now the Emperor seemed to have died. Not only was it the other Imperial families as well no one started acting, they were completely indifferent!
"Somehow I'm a little suspicious of the Emperor" murmured Arabella but was still heard by Theo and Alister, hearing Arabella's words, the two of them immediately looked at each other and tried to digest and detail the true events. If you look at it again there are so many strange things! Like:
The emperor who showed no whereabouts.
Not a single Imperial family intervened.
The perpetrator moved in a very coordinated manner like he had been in the Empire for a long time.
"I guess what aunt said was no harm" Theo nodded in agreement and argued that what Arabella said was true, it could have been that all this was the Emperor's interference and if it was true they had the chance to depose the Emperor and make the crown prince ascend the throne.
If I may be honest, from beginning to end Theo preferred to go into the crown prince's grave rather than the second prince. Because after all the crown prince played a big role in terms of expanding the territory and stopping the rebellion, just like himself the crown prince also always stood at the forefront he never made his teammates suffer or trouble. And the crown prince was the right choice to become the next emperor!
Arabella and Theo begin to work out their plan, Alister does not dare to interfere but if needed he will give input to his Uncle and Aunt. After they finished discussing, they began to carry out their plans, when they would act, the Marquess came and approached them to see the arrival of her father Arabella directly approached the Marquess and clasped the hands of the Marquess and led her.
"Dad, what's wrong? Why did you come here? Father is not fully healthy" Arabella is very worried about the condition of his father because after all the Marquess's condition is still not fully recovered still takes about 1 month again Marquess will be fully healed.
"Dad heard there's a murderous terror out there, is that true?" Marquess raised her eyebrows next to him she was really curious about the circumstances surrounding him. Not without reason if the Marquess knew this from the beginning maybe he could give input to Arabella and Theo? Because either way they are both people who are very dear to the Marquess.
Arabella and Theo could only remain silent - they were unwilling to say this to the Marquess, but they were also unwilling to hide this from the Marquess - a puzzling dilemma!
The Marquess put on a confused face, Alister who saw this immediately explained the situation that was happening in the Empire's territory. The Marquess was shocked! This terror is really very dangerous.
"The devil's ritual" said the Marquess unknowingly, Arabella, Theo, and Alister rounded their eyes. They had completely forgotten about it how could they forget such an important thing?? If they knew early their preparations would also be more mature!
"The devil's ritual? According to my memories in my previous life the way to overcome this ritual was to sacrifice someone, no! I can't possibly allow another victim" Arabella shook her head she really didn't want anyone to be the victim anymore! Yet... If they don't do it, there will be more victims, Ah..... Arabella had to choose to sacrifice 1 person for the safety of 100 people or even sacrifice the safety of 100 people for the safety of 1 person?
Of course the first choice! Anyone would do that, right? Who would sacrifice 100 people for 1 person? Of course there is! And that person was Grand Duke Tryon, he would definitely do anything as long as Arabella survived!
After that Arabella and Theo go to the magic tower to meet a high-level witch, honestly speaking to do so they needed 1 high-level mage and 2 medium-level mages as they had to create a magic circle that could trap that emperor or mixed demon!
Of course when they came to the magic tower, Arabella and Theo were not allowed to enter because the tower was afraid that they were serial killers. However, after Arabella and Theo showed their identity they were finally allowed to enter. Along the way the witch's servants questioned them with all sorts of questions, before Arabella and Theo happily answered questions from the maid however... They began to get upset because the waiter kept asking. Upon arriving in a room the servant was silent and pointed to the large door that was in front of them.
"The witches are currently inside, you can both go straight in and say what you both need to them inside" After saying a few words the servant left Arabella and Theo, with mixed feelings Theo opened the big door before him.
Criet
The door was wide open, the blinding light of the eyes as well as the extremely powerful magic aura were so thick within the room. It was true that the room was the room where the witches gathered.
