Chapter 1289 - A Strange Entourage
"Even though your reasons for failure are indeed valid, you will still be punished for the spilled blood of our deceased sisters."
Number 5 expected this and was fully ready to take responsibility for the matter.
Rosa looked at her thoughtfully: "You should"ve received the Juntai punishment, leaving you numb for another 8 months. But now isn"t the time for this. We need all sisters on board if we"re going to succeed. So after you heal up, you"ll be going straight to Deiferus to meet with our other sisters there. We, the council, have another mission for you. So don"t disappoint us!"
Number 5 clenched her fists in determination: "Yes, elders. This one will not."
With that, Number 5 left the place with fire burning in her eyes.
And so it began.
The witches who learnt of the great secret were already making countless moves to get the train behind it all... Lucy!
It was ironic that before this, they wanted nothing more than to kill her, gut her, peel and skin her inside out
But now, they dared not take that risk... Not after seeing how fertile her brain was.
With her on their side, they would no longer have to worry about Morgany.
Just give them more time, and they would soon build up even more forces, eventually conquer the entire Tenola with all its empires and Monarchs.
And from there, the rules would change. The men would be the slaves, and the women would be on top.
Tenola would become a place for all women to reign and prosper!
.
The witches could already see it now.
Destiny was indeed a fascinating thing. This Lucy, their truest enemy, had inherited supernatural strangers from the Witch legacy of the G.o.ddess of Witchcraft.
Additionally, she also had the brains just like her treacherous mother.
So if they didn"t use her gifts to their advantage and kill her off just like that, then wouldn"t they be destroying the blessings that their G.o.ddess had painstakingly sent them?
Lucy was their blessing for a better tomorrow. And after they extracted all they could from her, then they would then get rid of her just as they originally planned.
After all, the future they wanted to create had no place for traitors like her.
The fact that she was willing to belittle herself and attack other witches for a man was most blasphemous.
What a joke!
If they allowed her to survive, then who knew if she would start her own movement, fool other witches and women, before bringing their witch society down again, just like her mother?
No way! They would never let that happen.
Like so, Number 5 had successfully pa.s.sed the message along.
And soon enough, Lucy would have to come face to face with her mother"s past!
But while the pitches were now on the move, strategizing and making plans... far away from Arcadina"s sh.o.r.es, others were also engrossed in a "little" problem solving too.

-The Capital City, Empire of Dafaren, Veinitta-
.
On the very boisterous streets, several high-quality carriages were slowly making their way towards one of the most prominent and novel estates within the city.
The carriage was gold and stunning, looking as though it had just come out of a fairytale movie.
Its s.p.a.cious insides, and even its window designs, could make many people back on earth open their mouths wide in shock.
Cinderella"s carriage was just child"s play when compared to this one.
The pa.s.serbys who spotted the carriages also exclaimed in shock too.
For those who had seen this carriage before, they weren"t stunned by its beauty but rather exclaimed from awareness, before stopping and bowing until the carriage was no longer in sight.
Horses stopped, wagons, carriages and those on the sidewalks stopped what they were doing as though time was now frozen in place.
A wide path on the streets was automatically created, as everyone dared not look at the many lineups of Royal carriages pa.s.sing along the roads: some gold, some silver and some jet black.
But what confused the people was that the entourage was a large one.
"Look! Look! It"s the royal carriages!"
"What? The royal carriages? d.a.m.n! It really is them! So does that mean that his majesty would be in one of them?"
"F***! That would be too much of a shock, right? Shouldn"t it be the princes or princesses? Moreover, it"s so strange... That is, isn"t this all too sudden?"
(*~*)
.
Several people had question marks mastered in their expressions.
Last they checked, there weren"t any announcements made within the city that could warrant such a large entourage. So what was all this about?
They might be peasants who weren"t allowed to attend b.a.l.l.s and other ceremonies hosted by n.o.bles.
But that didn"t mean that they wouldn"t get the word on the streets.
Even though invitations were extended to the n.o.bles, they who were either slaves or pleasant workers would also know about these things since they would be in charge of setting things for that day.
Additionally, some of the guards, though peasants, would also go out, drink and mingle with other people in the pubs or other regions.
Often, word would spread in this manner, and many would know of some upcoming b.a.l.l.s and whatnot.
Of course, the n.o.bles typically allowed word to go out because it was a form of publicity.
The richer the festivities, the more feared a n.o.ble was.
The peasants, slaves and everyone else would continue fearing that particular household.
Fear was the only way to control the general population.
And that"s why when the n.o.bles were going on the streets, the everyday people actually knew a lot about them, giving them the respect they deserve.
Some n.o.bles weren"t taken seriously, while others feared them so much that no one dared to walk beside them.
It was all a way to build up their prestige.
That said, it was indeed mighty odd to all of a sudden witness such a vast number of Royal carriages heading out towards the famous Abrodus n.o.ble Family.
What was most alarming was also the fact that a few other n.o.ble carriages from different households were all heading towards the ridiculously vast Abrodus estate too.
So what was all this? How come they had never so much as gotten a single word of such a large event taking place?
What was going on in there?
