Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 24: The Dark Witch

He said dreams are just flowers of sleep. But unlike him, dreams are flashbacks that tell about his mass life. Sometimes the dream infiltrates the beautiful memories, warmth, smile, it can even end with sad and painful memories.

Lucy was simply speechless with the dream she was giving right now, everything was terrifying. Unexpectedly also the childhood of the antagonist turned out to be so miserable like this. This tragic dream has ended with the death of her brother, Lyonora. A terrible ending filled with blood everywhere.

The empty space that began to grow now enveloped her transparent self, she was thinking small things, is it time to wake up?

“Cy...”.

“Lucy!” call the person who filled his little head, he thought for a moment. Who is this man who calls his name out of nothing? The woman is now a little upset.

‘Iya…. I'll be up soon!’ his mind is nagging.

Just when his eyelids were open, he only looked at the white ceiling of his room. When he woke himself up and stared back and forth, the room contained only himself. “Actually who was it?” tanyanya was astonished.

Looking at the curtain that was still not open, he felt that the sun had not yet set its rays. He was now staring and chuckling when he found his dream yesterday. It seems that the dream was related to the figure of a dark wizard who became the main fear for the people and nobles of Garfield.

“Yes…. If recalled, Lucy and Lyonora had a minor showdown at the Crown Princess' palace garden. The place is quite far from the main Hall where the party was held .” he said while hugging himself.

now that he closed his eyes to receive the gentle gust of wind blowing, his hand was now raised to support his chin. Currently Lucy is on the balcony of her room, the current situation feels so lonely, where is the current Crown Prince, Flona, and Emillo? Begitulau.

Remembering the events in the dream, when the brother-sister's dispute took place, unwittingly someone in a black robe came to them.

If you think about it more deeply, at the Crown Prince's birthday party like today, it is certain that all the invited guests here wear a striking dress code and not a dark color like that strange person.

“Whose you?” asked the girl who was suspicious, her face was not so visible because the man was wearing a long robe that covered his nose. If asked who he was, he would not answer. But the curves of his posture are enough to explain the identity of himself that a woman.

“Do not disturb and quickly get rid of the freaks!” lyonora grumbled that her activities were disrupted. Instead of listening to her request, the woman laughed at herself.

‘Actually who is he...’ asked the girl who felt something was wrong. His appearance was quite terrifying, moreover his body odor felt fishy.

“Do not say you—”

“Quite so many matches, Miss-Nona.” he said that sounded as if the woman's voice was old.

‘He's granny? Not— his body looks too young!’ while regressing his steps, his hand was now raised to pull Lyonora's wrist and told her to hide behind. Instead of cooperating, the woman instead shouted in annoyance while shaking her hand.

“You think I'm weak?! Don't pretend!” his situation-unknown nagging, the girl just shook her head in fear. Seeing the presence of this foreign woman alone is enough to make her hair goosebumps. According to the teaching he received in his magic academy, the woman's characteristics, smell, and appearance, are very similar to, “The woman is a witch of darkness.” whispered very slowly.

“You want me to trust your stupid words?” tanyanya. ‘Oh no, what situation is this.’ Lucy just nodded with her trembling hands. The mysterious woman now had a strange smile on her face.

“You're two honorable witch ladies, aren't you?” asked the woman in an old voice, Lucy was reluctant to answer her question, but proudly Lyonora instead chimed in with the sentence, “True, I am a talented magician in the kingdom of Garfield. What is your business?!” he said with a sharp look.

“So we should have run away, come on!” her door riled, Lucy who felt her current age would not be strong enough if she had to face him. The woman was targeting at this time must be only those who are witches, but if there are ordinary humans who roam in this place it could be made Sandra. His mind was complicated now.

‘I have to what? His aura felt heavy and frightening.

Lucy was currently trying to stop the Lyonora commotion, yet the woman was quite stubborn and even let her guard down. His careless attitude instead tried to approach the woman and intended to pull the robe that covered her face, but did not expect the mysterious woman to be silent.

One hand of the black-robed woman stretched out towards him. “Via animo mortas, philino Sorogical.” The woman began to make strange sentences.

‘He knows, my soul is not okay? How can I fight it!’ with his trembling hands.

“La morto venos al vi, mallumo vin formaneos.” after mengapalksan something, his pale skin released a black stream that moved like a wild animal hunting its prey, Lucy who is often vigilant has displayed her protection magic to protect her waters and this place, but her mixed feelings make her magic power does not work well. He gritted his teeth a sign of him feeling deadlocked.

Lyonora who was not so talented for her magic power instead froze resignedly as the black stream gnawed at her, gnawing at her, Lyonora could not believe that the woman in the hideous robe was really a witch foretold by the sacred temple. Instead of moving and helping her sister who was starting to be overwhelmed, the woman was silent without defense.

His mind caught Lyonora off-guard, until at last the dark magic filled with foul spirits and souls struck the heart of Lyonora, draining all the magic energy it possessed, in the end the woman was now stiffened along with the magic that was seized by force.

The black magic that filled this place made the trees and plants around look malay. Lucy seems to have miscalculated, the person the woman is after is not the two of them but only her brother, Lyonora. If noticed by the flow of magic that continues to lead to her brother.

“I beg…. Her magic…. Is there no one around here?! Don't let that black magic touch brother's body any more than this!” his words that held back desperately, all the veins on his face hardened showing how much effort he was trying. But the power of mana has its limits.

The witch Lucy thinks is a dark wizard is certainly superior to Lucy who just graduated from the magic academy. Their level is too far. That overpowering magic could destroy everything, right in its last second, Lyonora's over-pumping heart made it explode all of a sudden, the splash of blood that touched the dress and her body made the woman peck with her gaze that looked empty. “I.... failed?” tanyanya could not believe it.

The 17-year-old girl had breathed her last right in front of her own eyes. Splashing tears down her cheeks and mixed with blood, “I failed to protect sister...” The heavy Eid made him feel claustrophobic and desperate, for what to get the nickname genius at a young age, if fighting a dark wizard like this alone could not he do. He failed to protect his own brother.

Her tears that were filled with no intention to stop flowing, her trembling palms were raised to cover her mouth tightly. He felt a fragment of his heart disappear after the departure of Lyonora which he witnessed with his own eyes. Although Lucy almost always hated him, but he never expected this to happen to Lyonora. For him, he was the only family he had at home.

“Very disappointing, I can't even do anything to help him.”

“It seems that this time you are nothing, I will not kill you just like that, like last time, I will kill you after your resurrection.” said the horrible woman sharply. Immediately he recited the spell and then the woman in black robes just disappeared like a night wind. Just hearing his voice was already terrifying enough.

It's just that, Lucy looks not care about everything she says, she just lay fragile and cry as hell in front of the body of her brother who was covered in blood. The current scene is very terrible and also quite misunderstood. Surely this kind of scene is being witnessed by the Crown Prince who is currently quietly sculpting.

“You killed your brother?” ask without thinking.

In the end, it was with this incident that made their relationship begin to stretch.

The dream ended in a heartbreaking tragedy, but His Majesty did not accept all the accusations against Lucy, as her brother died with the dark magic left on his body.

Surely there is no magic created to fight each other forcibly power between other witches. A person who can do such a vile thing is just a dark magician, which is indeed to increase his dark magic power by eating the magic belonging to pure magicians.

Instead of believing after being given this explanation by His Majesty who is his father, Reygan instead thinks that Lucy herself is a witch of darkness.

...***...

Now the girl is contemplating while staring at the view over the balcony of her room. “The incident happened right in the park yes.” he said accompanied by a straight gaze towards the park.

If thought through in outline, the Crown Prince is required to have a Queen who is a descendant of a witch. Because of his first meeting with Lucy diistana quite imprint Reygan, in the end until the age of 17 years old The man still likes it, but because of the procedure of the nobility, which must be married is the eldest daughter, the eldest daughter, except if Lucy's oldest brother is a man. In the end Reygan and Lyonora sprang with a feeling of force.

The reason she hates Lyonora is because she looks crazy about power, in contrast to Lucy, she always looks sincere and supports her behind as a good friend. But the current incident was quite disappointing for him, it seems that these brothers look no different.

“Haha, without asking him first, you instead conclude this alone.” he said accompanied by piety, piety, his eyes only looked at me right down there when the Crown Prince was walking with a bouquet of flowers. Exposure to the sun was now beginning to show slowly, the girl seemed to be too dreamy for so long.

‘I understand how you feel Your Majesty, you feel like you like each other with Lucy don't you? But the good Lucy always covers her own feelings, right? After seeing this incident, it seems you think that Lucy's feelings turned into a sense of obsession because you saw Lucy kill her own biological sister using magic, so right?’ ask in the heart.

For a moment, the woman seemed to be daydreaming for quite a while. Until the footsteps behind him made the girl wake up and laugh. “Darling slali, it was just a very cliche misunderstanding, then at that time I have been proven innocent, you will still hate me right? Until treated her so up to 2 years, what time was it in your eyes, I also look like a woman who is crazy for power?” the question is right to someone who came to him behind, “Your Majesty?” continued with a squeaking face.

‘If you think about it, everyone understands her behavior that forgets memories, but if you look at the current situation, everyone thinks Lucy who is exposed to inner pressure forget all her bad memories. The peak happened when in the hunt last year.’

“Means that the king already knew yes, that I had met the Witch twice, when he heard her story from Sir Emillo, he said, did you know I was hurt a lot when you paid more attention to Sheyra than me?” ask with an inexhaustible look.

“Lucy…. At that time I—”

“I remember everything Your Highness, the death of the greatest brother. And you are very trusted by him, the only blessed friend he has, instead of embracing and calming him, at that time you even turn around and leave.” His whisper was right next to the man's ear. His eyes were wide in shock, this attitude…. Exactly like Lucy's attitude when she first lost her memory, which is to be cold, indifferent, and not care only for her.

‘You behave like Lucy who is determined to reject this engagement...’.

“From that, why did Lucy say that as if talking about someone else?” tanyanya felt awkward.

The woman now even laughed cynically, “Sure, I am talking about the other Lucy, Lucy who always smiled warmly to you, Lucy who always gave her hand to His Majesty,” it seems that the look in her eyes now looks gloomy, the girl bows her head while holding her sobs.

“Surely I am talking about Lucy that you will never see again...”.
