The Villainess' Death Game[COMPLETED]

Chapter 20

This world has different races that were just written in fantasy books or fantasy movies back in my world.

One of them was the race of witches.

They were humans who evolved their magical powers into something different from what normal people used to have. They were powerful beings that roamed around too freely five hundred years ago. They used their power to treat disease, save lives, and act according to the advantage of the human race. However, a hundred years later they were associated with all the bad things happening at the surface of this world.

Why is that?

It all starts when humans become afraid of the power they hold. Especially the royalties, they became afraid that one day, they would be replaced by witches who were more powerful than them. So they make stories, made people believe it's real. They scheme things and harm people and point it to the witches.

That's why witch races are rare these days, too few, and are scattered around the world. Witches could live a hundred and fifty years, longer than of a normal human being but there is a certain witch that could live for eternity. As the blood of other witches diluted to those of their human offspring to continue their lineage, the immortal witch could be herself forever. 

"She was once the queen of witches, it seems now that she has become a legend and there is no proof that she existed." Dagdag pa ni Caudata. That powerful witch got to curse Ciel. I was wondering how he would be lifting it. Well since he's an undead he could be chased for her forever.

Tiningnan ko ang drawing at illustrations niya sa black board, It is all. Is that perhaps an incantation to summon witches, looking at it, it is undecipherable.

Sabay sabay kaming napalingon sa pintuan nang may kumatok doon.

"Lady Myrtle, It is I, Peona." katok niya sa labas ng pintuan ng library.  Agad na sumenyas ako sa kanila na maglaho saka ko pinapasok si Peona.

"What is it?" I asked.

"The thing is..."

Malalaki ang mga hakbang na bumalik ako sa silid ko, nakita kong naroon si Sera at hindi magkandaugaga sa pagasikaso ng mga gamit at pagpipilian kong damit.

"What do we do, my lady. If they were to inform us earlier then we should have your dress tailored." Sera said in panic, hindi lang siya kundi ang iba pang tagapagsilbing nahugot niya para tumulong sa paghahanda sa akin.

Napahilot nalang ako ng sentido. Tiningnan kong muli ang invitation letter na binigay ni Peona. It's three in the afternoon, they expect me to travel to the south in a short span of time just to attend into their dinner.

The Duke of Ledlucite, Ciel's father personally sent me this invitation.

Should I call for Ciel and ask him to personally escort me to their Dukedom? Napailing ako. Why would I approach him first? Ilang araw na siyang hindi nagpaparamdam sa akin, he could come to me anytime he wanted to because he has the door to his convenience pero hindi niya ginawa, he did not even say his farewell formally as my knight. I doubt that being afraid of Gylbard is the reason.

Why do I feel pissed all of a sudden?

Then did he not really want to see me? But why would he suddenly send a letter of marriage proposal?

"Myrtle! Don't tell me you're really going to the land of our enemy?" Napalingon ako kay Gylbard, hinihingal siya na para bang hinabol niya bago pa man din ako makasakay ng tuluyan sa karwahe.

I look at him. The worst enemy I have right now is you, brother.

"Brother must be really worried but I'm not a little girl anymore."
