The king was very happy with Mirian's attitude.
"I will ask Agatha...", he started to say.
But Mirian raised her head in fury. Her eyes were white, which startled everyone.
Suddenly a strong glow involved everyone inside the prison. Everyone covered their eyes, except the princess who could see everything clearly. She shouted to her father, but only heard the witch's voice and saw James' sword magically rise from the ground and go quickly towards the king. Then the sword went through the body of the king who could not see anything.
The princess brought her hands to her mouth and ran toward her father. Then the glow began to fail.
"... I need more flowers", said Mirian.
The glow ended and everyone was stunned to witness what had happened. Then Lilian, Emily and James also went towards the fallen king. The soldiers arrested Mirian who could do nothing to stop it. Some of them wanted to kill her right there.
"Enough!", said Lilian with tears in her eyes and started eating all the magic flowers inside the box.
"What are you doing, Mom?", Emily asked her, who was chewing the plants without stopping.
The woman didn't answer and continued eating. And then having eaten almost all the plants, she dropped the box on the ground and went toward Mirian. The soldiers tried to stop her, but Lilian with a closed countenance and white eyes ordered:
"Go to your king. I'll deal with her".
The soldiers left Lilian alone. Mirian sat down on the floor with no strength and looked at the box mournfully.
"Ohiah Wobh Gyon... Ohiah Wobh Gyon...", lamented the old witch.
"The magic that was not described in the book...", said Lilian. "I wonder what it does"
And then, Lilian held Mirian's head with both hands, looked deep into her eyes and said:
"Ohiah Wobh Gyon!"
Mirian shuddered and fell to the ground paralyzed.
End of chapter twelve. Two to go.
