She Belongs To The Devil

"I am glad to hear that you are finally ready to punish Lillian for her deeds." Agnes smiled and nodded, "Yes, there are a few members in our Coven who might actually create a magic circle that will be strong enough to confine Lillian."

She darted her eyes around and corrected herself, "However, we do not know for sure how powerful Lillian has become. We have been keeping an eye on her and every time we find out that her power is growing at a rapid rate. So, we will have to test her power level by ourselves before we can be sure that we can create the magic circle to trap her."

Agnes then pursed her lips and said to the Princess, "But I am surprised that even after she killed your mother, you are just trying to lock Lillian up and not sentence her to death."

She recalled how they had found Esther dead in the river. Just thinking about the dead Coven member made her blood boil. She gritted her teeth and then added, "After all that she has done, even a death sentence will be a light punishment for Lillian."

"Yes, exactly! Even death will be a lighter punishment for her." Adeline also had not forgotten how Lillian had killed her mother. She had not forgotten how her mother looked like a living dead after getting poisoned by that witch.

She angrily clenched her fists and then said, "That is why I want to break her first. I want to confine her so that she can reflect upon all of her crimes. I want to remind her every day how she killed each and every one of those innocent people. And I want her to be haunted by the screams and tears of those that she killed."

"I want her to pay for her crimes in the worst way possible." Adeline looked into the eyes of Agnes and said resolutely, "I know that her greatest weakness is loneliness. And I am going to make her every bit lonely… until she begs to be killed instead of being confined."

Agnes smiled at the Princess. She did not want Lillian to get away with some light punishment. She wanted her to suffer greatly. And she was content when Adeline explained how Lillian was going to be tortured.

"I will talk with the High Priestess about this matter and I will send you a message soon." Agnes then asked the most important question to the Princess, "When are you planning to put Lillian behind the bars?"

"As soon as you confirm that the members of your Coven can take down Lillian." Adeline did not want to delay it any longer. She had already pushed it far enough already.

Adeline then recalled what Agnes had said earlier. She was saying that they would need to test Lillian's power by themselves. "What did that even mean?" she thought and then asked Agnes, "But how are you going to confirm that your Coven will be able to take Lillian down?"

Agnes trailed her fingers over the orb that was on her table and replied, "We will have to fight her of course. Then only we will know who is more powerful."

"But isn't that dangerous? What if she… kills more of you?" Adeline glanced at Agnes with some worry lines on her forehead. Yes, she wanted to punish Lillian, but not by putting several other lives in danger.

Agnes smiled and dismissed the Princess's worries. "This is the very reason why the witches have Coven. We will have each other's back. We are not going to fight her one-on-one. Our whole Coven will ambush her and then make her show everything that she has in store. That way, we can easily tell if the strongest members of our Coven can create the magic barrier or not."

After a long while, Raphael finally broke his silence and expressed his concern about how the witches' were going to test each other's power. "I am not an expert in the witch matter but… won't that alert Lillian that something is going to happen to her? Won't she be cautious? Or worse, won't she let the Hell loose and start acting like a rabid animal?"

Adeline also agreed with her brother in that, "Yes, I was also thinking the same. What if she senses that we are plotting against her and goes on a killing spree? Considering her past history, that won't be too difficult for her."

Agnes went into her thoughts. She felt that what the Prince and Princess were saying made complete sense. So she said thoughtfully, "If we cannot subdue Lillian when we ambush her, meaning if she is way too powerful for our Coven to handle then I guess we cannot do much."

"However, if we feel that she can be subdued, then we will create a magic circle right then and there and capture Lillian." Agnes glanced at Lillian and proposed, "And later, we will have her transported to wherever you ask us."

Adeline instantly asked, "Won't there be any problem while she will be transported?"

"No, there won't be any problem. That much I can assure you." Agnes looked very confident about that.

The three of them then began to discuss how they were going to ambush Lillian.

While Adeline was busy discussing the upcoming fate of Queen Lillian, somebody else was discussing the Princess's fate elsewhere.

King Reginald was sitting leisurely in the sun while most of his Royal Guards were busy getting some information about the woman in the pink.

Finally, a Royal Guard brought a teenager to his King and then asked him to say what he was saying earlier.

In the hopes of getting a few coins, the boy enthusiastically asked, "You wanted to know about the lady who was covering her hair with a pink scarf, right?"

After getting a slight nod from Reginald, the boy asked again, "Did you not attend the Royal Procession after she was chosen?"

Reginald asked with a slight frown, "What do you mean by that?"

That eccentric teenager then revealed what he knew, "She is our Future Queen! Princess Adeline. How can you even forget that angelic face of our Princess?"

Reginald's eyes twinkled after hearing that the woman who he had eyed was none other than the Future Queen of his enemy Kingdom.

He smiled ear to ear and whispered, "She indeed has an angelic face. Now I almost feel bad for trying to snatch her throne."

The Royal Guard who had brought that boy tossed some coin to him and he scurried off from there.

Reginald excitedly got up on his feet and thought, "If she is the Future Ruler of Wyverndale then it will be a shame if I make her my pet."

He bit his lower lip and whispered, "How about making her my wife instead?"
