Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 776  Beggar Witch

Chapter 776  Beggar Witch

Lith felt as if his head was about to explode at any minute. His eye was already bleeding and was on the verge of bursting out too.

Noman, Ruben, and Luna, all these guys were concerned for Lith, but acted as per the orders and did their best to hurry.

Fei's condition was getting so bad that she was starting to bleed from every orifice of her body. Luna healed her as much as possible, but nothing was working.

On Ruben's back, Lith strode all the way across the Vampire Continent and reached the Treant Ocean. It was a dead end from here, but Lith could still see the black thread.

Using s.p.a.ce artifacts, these guys made jumps one after another and eventually ended up in the Witch Continent.

Men were forbidden on the Witch Continent and the arrays laid alerted the authorities.

Neither Lith nor his servants cared about this and quickly made their way inside the continent.

Since Luna was just carrying Fei and listening to orders, she had a bit of free s.p.a.ce and notified Hecate that they were the intruders in the continent.

Hecate immediately made her way towards these guys and joined them. She had no idea what was happening, but she followed them to the best of her abilities.

Due to her being near them, no Witch dared to cause trouble and eventually, they reached a small town's busy square.

Finally, Lith couldn't see the ends of the threads anymore and collapsed on Ruben.

However, Noman frowned hard and turned in the direction of a beggar at the sides of the streets.

He wasted no time and immediately grabbed hold of the beggar Witch.

The beggar was startled and before she could even resist, her entire body was sealed under the Royal binding seal.

All Royal Servants had such seals on them in case they encountered someone strong. It was a really powerful artifact made by the Queen herself and would restrict the flow of spiritual power and their ability to feel the elemental energies.

Once this beggar witch was sealed, Fei stopped writhing around and collapsed as well on Luna.

The Royal Servant trio and Hecate sighed in relief.

Lith had done the right thing by calling Noman. This guy could easily detect anything sinister as he was too sensitive to such things. Ruben too could detect such a thing, but the reason Lith called him was something different.

Ruben's specialty was to kill someone in the fastest and most gruesome way possible. If he couldn't kill, then he could escape in a similar fast fashion. His role was to carry Lith and make any small fry coming at them disappear forever.

Thankfully, due to Hecate, no one witch's life was lost.

Hecate looked at Luna and asked, "What happened? Why was His Highness in such a rush?"

Luna, carrying the collapsed Fei in her arms, said, "It's confidential."

Without saying anything more, the Royal Servants took their leave, making Hecate's lips to slightly curve down.

She had been with these guys for so many years yet she wasn't treated like one of them. She was always seen as a greedy witch even though she gave them heavy discounts for her services.

She felt a bit sad, but being a mature Witch Queen, she let go of this matter and prepared to provide an explanation to the other Witch Queens and the Queen Mother.

…..

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

Once Lith was back in the castle, it was Lilith herself that treated him. She had the mastery of a G.o.d in all elements and didn't even need anything other than a trace of her finger down Lith's damaged eye.

Lith woke up instantly and the first thing he saw was his mother's neutral face.

"Baby, you should know your limits. Your head would've exploded had you used your powers for too long." Lilith said sternly.

No matter how much she loved him, at the end of the day, a mother's concerns were a mother's concerns and it couldn't be helped.

Lith nodded and didn't argue. "I am sorry, mom. It was really urgent."

He then got up from his bed and giving a thank you kiss to Lilith, dashed outside to see what was Fei's condition.

Lilith couldn't help but shake her head. Both her babies were hardcore m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.ts, it seemed. They didn't care for the pain and simply over exerted themselves even if it meant dying.

Even if one could resurrect, dying was bad you know?

Oblivious to his mother's thoughts, Lith searched for Fei, only to see her sitting in one of the courtyards in the inner ring made for the maids.

Keith, f.a.n.n.y, and Luna were with her, having tea and snacks together.

Looking at the Prince appear made all of them stand up and look at him.

Lith walked up to Fei and asked, "are you fine?"

Fei blushed slightly remembering the embarra.s.sing things that happened, but nodded her head nonetheless.

Ensuring she was okay, Lith turned to Luna to ask for an explanation.

Luna knew what her Prince wanted to know. Instead of explaining, she directly took him to the Royal Prison, located in a separate dimension.

They walked to a dark chamber and there Lith saw Noman and Ruben standing guard and a woman with her hands extending out due to the chains.

The chains contained a lot of talismans and these were the binding seals to not let the person break free.

"That is?" Lith asked.

"The person, Your Highness. The one who was causing harm to Fei." Luna answered.

Lith was surprised hearing that. He walked close to the woman in tattered clothes and squatting down and holding her dirty gray hair, made her look up.

The woman's complexion was sickly pale and her gray eyes seemed lifeless.

"What were you trying to do?" Lith asked her right away.

The lifeless gray eyes focused on Lith.

The woman sighed and said in a really tired tone, "trying to save myself."

Lith stared at her and waited for her to finish speaking.

"I am dying," said the woman after a pause. "Fate and destiny do not work, I had no means to save myself for a long time. But…"

Fate couldn't be calculated and Destiny couldn't be measured. This meant that prophets, astrologers, seers, oracles, whatever one wanted to call them, lost their powers and could do nothing about it.

However, recently, these two things were back.

This witch was under an ancient curse of some sort. She couldn't understand what it was and neither could she find anyone who could cure it. She became really weak and although was powerful enough to kill beneath her realm, she was powerless against the ones in the same one.

Hiding from her enemies, the witch took on a beggar's appearance to stay hidden and roamed from place to place, begging and living like a mortal.

It was only in the last few decades did this witch feel fate and destiny coming back. She regained the ability to look into fortune and kept trying to find a cure for herself.

Decades pa.s.sed but nothing noteworthy happened. She didn't give up though. She pretty much had nothing to do other than beg and do divinations.

Her results then bore fruit and just yesterday, she succeeded in her divination.

She found out someone who could break her curse, but that someone seemed to be hidden behind a barrier of some sort.

The witch couldn't look at the person and could only see the barrier. Her divinations were starting to fail and she knew she had to do something otherwise her only hope would be gone.

She thus tried to break the barrier slowly and steadily and did her best to keep the person with her. The barrier wasn't breaking, but she tried her best.

Eventually, she felt the person coming closer to her and felt that the barrier might be breaking? Thus, she intensified her ways of breaking the barrier and eventually, this led to an ominous foreboding and she felt her scalp tingle in fear.

However, it was too late and she was here now, imprisoned who knows where.

Lith was completely taken aback by such an explanation. He had fully prepared himself to kill this person who had tried to harm his Fei, but didn't think there would be such a thing.

There were no discrepancies in her words either. Lith had himself seen a lock on Fei's body and this could be the barrier this witch was talking about.

The witch, unable to control her emotions after saying so much, looked at Lith and said in a neutral tone, "If you plan to kill me, do it in a manner I'd never reincarnate. The curse will be back if I reincarnate and I don't want to suffer through it any more. I hope you make my death painless and swift."

Lith sighed hearing that. How could he do such a thing now? This woman might be trying to use reverse psychology to cling onto her life, but this didn't mean her words were meaningless.

The suffering was clearly visible on her face. No immortal would have such a complexion unless absolutely f.u.c.ked, which in this case, she was.

All the reasons this woman put forward seemed justified to Lith and at the end, he decided to not kill her.

Lith took out a chair and sat in front of the witch, looking at her.

He let out his overbearing aura, making the witch tremble, and said, "I'll save your life, but on one condition. You'll become my maid…"

"…forever."
