Adeline happily ran out of the King\'s Court and went towards her own quarter. Hawisa had already informed the guards by now, and six of her guards were already waiting for her.

They were all wearing their normal clothes like the Princess had asked and they were carrying small weapons like daggers with them. They understood that the Princess didn\'t want the villagers to find out about her status, so they had prepared accordingly.

They were standing in front of the quarter and were waiting for the order of the Princess.

Adeline walked towards them and briefed them, "I am going to visit a fortune-teller in the market so I want you all to escort me there. But don\'t make it so obvious that you all are escorting me, spread out, and maintain some distance."

"Yes, Your Highness." The guards bowed to the Princess.

Adeline turned around and began to walk towards the gate of the Palace. The guards began following her closely.

Walking while she was under the watch of the guards was not fun at all. She was not able to bring out the goofy side of her as she was able to while she was with her brothers and sisters yesterday. She was walking while maintaining her posture like what others would expect from a Princess.

After walking down the boring path for quite some time, she finally entered the Golden Street. To her surprise, there were not many people out on the street at this time of the day. "Hmm… it looks like the street is livelier in the evening and in the night than it is in the morning." Adeline was observing the surroundings and taking mental notes of them.

She kept on walking to the end of the village to find Agnes\'s place. The guards were spread out as though they didn\'t know Adeline at all. Some of them were acting like they had come for shopping, some were just casually walking a little further from the Princess, while some had paired with each other and were acting as though they were casually talking and walking.

Finally, Adeline reached in front of Agnes\'s shop. She gestured to her guards to wait for her outside and entered inside.

Like yesterday, Agnes\'s place was empty today as well. She went towards the door and gave a little knock.

Agnes opened the door and when she saw that it was none other than Princess Adeline who was standing at her door, she gave a slight bow to the Princess and invited her in, "Why don\'t you come inside Princess?"

Adeline gave a nod in response to Agnes\'s greeting and went inside the room.

Agnes gestured her hand towards a chair and politely said, "Please take a seat, Princess."

"Thank you!" Adeline sat down while her eyes were fixated on the blue glowing orb that was kept on the table.

Agnes also sat down in front of the Princess and asked her, "How can I help you, Princess?"

The Princess did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "Yesterday you told me that you were spying on Lillian and you found out that she had opened the door to the other worlds. I wanted to know what you meant by that."

"By opening the door to the other world I meant that she was opening the gate to the spirit world. She can harness the power of the spirit world and grow stronger as a witch. It is basically a shortcut that the witches are not allowed to use because that method can backfire sometimes. The power from the spirit world can harm the witches who use it."

Agnes said it confidently as though she was not lying at all. Though half of what she said was true, the others were made up tales.

The other day, when Agnes had a chat with Theodore after Adeline had left from there, Theodore had specifically asked Agnes not to tell Adeline about what Lillian was actually doing. He told her how Lillian had been trying to harm Adeline since she was a child and how even now she was trying to do so.

And he also told her that Adeline might go searching for danger if she was to know that Lillian was summoning mystical beings from the other worlds. So he politely threatened Agnes to keep her mouth shut about Lillian if the Princess came asking to her.

Adeline was surprised when she heard that response from Agnes. She was expecting Lillian to be doing something more dangerous than that. She was expecting that Lillian might have opened the door to hell somewhere and she was allowing the creatures from hell to crawl inside the Palace.

But Agnes was saying that all Lillian was doing was using some power from the spirit world to grow stronger. That didn\'t settle quite well in Adeline\'s mind. "Are you sure that Lillian is doing nothing more than that? Like allowing the creatures from hell to cross that door or resurrecting the dead or something like that?"

Though Adeline was just shooting arrows in the dark, it had actually hit the bull\'s eye. And it made Agnes a little uncomfortable. She was nervous thinking that the Princess might have already known about the summoning and she was here just to double-check the fact.

However, Agnes chuckled to mask her nervousness and tried her best to convince the Princess that Lillian was not doing anything more dangerous as of now. "Don\'t think so highly of the witches, Princess. No matter how strong we are, we do not possess that kind of power to call the creatures from hell or resurrect the dead. All we do is borrow power from nature and in case of dark witches, other negative sources."

Adeline let out a huge sigh of relief and said, "Hmm… is that so… I might have been over thinking about it then." As Agnes was also a witch, Adeline believed that what she was saying was true. She did not even remotely imagine that Agnes was lying to her in the order of the Devil Prince.

Before the room was filled with awkward silence, Adeline began sharing her story briefly, "Lillian has been doing things that are very cruel and unimaginable for people like me. She has killed countless number of people with her witchcraft."

Adeline clenched her gown very tightly and revealed in anger, "She even killed my mother. She is very ruthless like a monster. And when I heard that she was opening some kind of door, I was worried that she was up to something really bad again."

Little did she know that Lillian was actually up to something worse…
