Chapter 326 - Charge!



Everyone was stunned to see that cruel sight.

All the witches of the Mystic Coven were devastated to see that cold-blooded murder of their sister.

"You see that, dear Addy? It wasn\'t an empty threat now, was it?" Lillian let out a grim cackle that resounded throughout the creek.

The more she laughed, the more the storm cloud spread throughout the barrier.

Her cackle sent chills down the spine of her soldiers. A few of the guards who were skeptical of the charges that were against the Queen also believed that she really had done all those things that were mentioned in her arrest warrant.

Adeline, on the other hand, was covering her mouth with both of her hands while holding her breath. She kept on staring at the dead body until it was invisible because of the storm cloud.

She couldn\'t believe that her careless words had provoked Lillian into taking an innocent life. The weight of that death was slowly pushing down her morale. She began to question her decision to capture Lillian. Was it really worth it? She didn\'t know.

Theodore felt helpless for not being able to save that witch when he had promised that he wouldn\'t let anyone get hurt.

The devastated and enraged witches were putting every bit of their power into holding and hurting that dark sorceress. The pure rage inside all of them was helping them to some extent.

Agnes was able to crush Lillian from the inside as Tabitha had done before. Though her spell was not as powerful, she was still able to cause enough pain to Lillian.

However, even though her heart felt like it was being crushed by someone\'s hand, Lillian was still able to give threats again.

"What are you waiting for, you fools?" Her loud voice echoed from the storm cloud as if they were some prophecies from heaven, "Are you all waiting for me to come out there and personally finish each one of you? Don\'t test me because sooner or later, I will come out..."

Out of the blue, a huge rock hit Lillian right on the back of her head and she passed out. Stream of blood began to roll down from her neck down to her back.

Unfortunately, those who were outside were unable to see Lillian getting knocked out because of the storm cloud, except Theodore of course.

"What are you waiting for?" The squad leader of the guard shouted at the other guards and ordered, "Attack the Princess, and whoever comes to save her!"

Until now, the guards were hesitating to raise their weapons against Adeline because she had shown them the arrest warrant.

But now that they saw and heard the cruel witch\'s power display, they were now more inclined to follow the Queen\'s order rather than the King\'s.

If they would disobey the King, at most, they would be imprisoned for life. But if they didn\'t follow that mad witch\'s order after that display of her power, they were sure that their family would be slaughtered.

The order from their squad leader acted as the final nudge that everyone needed. They just needed a confirmation that they wouldn\'t be the only ones attacking the Future Ruler.

And the moment they got the confirmation, all twenty of the guards drew out their weapons and charged at the Princess.

The storm cloud was slowly clearing away but nobody was looking there anymore. Everyone was already running towards Adeline. There was no backing out now.

"Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh..." the battle cries from the guards jerked Adeline back from her guilt-trip to the present.

Theodore suddenly grabbed Adeline\'s hand with an intention to teleport her somewhere safe. "Come! You don\'t need to fight them. I will take you away from all this."

"No!" Adeline quickly retracted her hand from Theodore\'s grip.

She drew out her sword while glaring at the guards who were getting closer and closer to her. And she shouted, "I don\'t want to be labeled as the deserter or a coward Princess. I cannot run away from the battlefield when I am the one who planned all this."

Theodore was not a fan of her and Raphael fighting against 20 men. But he didn\'t want to taint Adeline\'s confidence by showing his doubts. Besides, he felt that Lillian would soon be confined because he saw that both Tabitha and Sybil were up on their feet.

So he simply sighed and shouted to Adeline, "Do your best. I believe in you."

She glanced at Theodore and nodded. She tightened her grip around the hilt and glanced at Raphael. He was already taking a defensive stance.

Adeline also took a defensive stance as she had no intention to hurt anyone. She took a deep breath in and reminded herself, "I just need to defend myself until Lillian is shoved inside her carriage."

An arrow came swooshing right at Adeline. Her sharp eyes picked up the incoming attack way before it got close to her. As soon as it was in her range, she swung her sword and deflected that arrow.

A few more arrows came flying at her but she managed to either deflect them or break them all.

Raphael was standing right beside Adeline so he was also getting attacked by the arrows. He also deflected each of them.

Soon, the duo was surrounded by Lillian\'s guards. The four of them who were in horses began to circle around Adeline and Raphael in an attempt to overwhelm them.

Inside the barrier, the witches had made Lillian lay flat on her back. They didn\'t care if she was bleeding. Their nature didn\'t allow them to kill that dark sorceress right then and there. But they would be more than happy if she accidentally died because of over bleeding or concussion.

Sybil was standing while facing the unconscious body of Lillian. Earlier, it was Sybil who had smacked Lillian with a huge rock.

Though she was unable to move a while ago, she was seeing and hearing everything that Lillian was doing. It was the last straw when Lillian killed her fellow coven member. And the moment she was able to get up on her feet, she attacked Lillian.

Sybil held out her palms while controlling nearby willow branches again. The branches slowly crept towards Lillian and crawled all over Lillian\'s body. They tied her down to the ground. Even her head was pinned to the muddy ground.

The High Priestess knelt down beside their fallen witch. She offered some quick prayers and closed her eyelids. She gently touched her hand and whispered with eyes full of tears, "We will avenge your death, sister. May your soul rest in peace."

She quickly got back up. There was no time to waste. She glared down at the unconscious Lillian with spite and said to the rest of the witches, "Let\'s create the magic circle before she wakes up."

Tabitha then ordered the fellow witches, "Sybil, keep on holding her down and make sure that she doesn\'t wake up until we finish creating the circle in her carriage." She looked at the rest of the witches and asked, "Everyone, follow me to the carriage."

All the witches of the Mystic Coven, except Sybil, walked out of the barrier with no problem.
