Chapter 53
(Broken Realm)
Lottie’s POV
“I will advise you to leave now before I come back here…if you step your feet into that room, then you will die... Just a piece of advice, leave now that you have the time to. Goodbye,” I snapped, picking up the broken pot, and I left Violet, probably shocked at my outburst.
I know that she wasn’t expecting me to react that way, but I can’t just stand her pretense. I despised her right from when she made friends with Megan.
I was ok with having Martha around, but when that b!tch came in, the innocent kid wasn’t given friendly treatment like when she was the only one being friends with Megan.
When I said that I knew who she really was, I wasn’t joking; I had known who she was from the first day but never wanted to chip in. I wanted reality to take its part and make things work its way.
It’s not in my power to start hunting witches, and she actually doesn’t look harmful as of then, though I had a hunch she was here for something, which has fully revealed itself now.
Walking into the kitchen, I dropped the broken jug into a disposable bin and made to prepare another tea. You might be surprised why I left her upstairs, well, I know she wouldn’t take my threat with levity; she would surely leave as expected.
And I have made sure she won’t be able to enter Mrs. Johnson’s room if she should go ahead with another plan. And just as I had thought, she strides down the stairs wearing an angry look. She picked up her purse from the couch and left, banging the front door. I chuckled
Remembering Megan, I heave a sigh. How I wish I could contact her through a mind link, though I know she is safe where she is and whom she is with. I just don’t wanna pry into whatever business he is setting up with her, but the problem is Mrs. Johnson really wants to see her daughter.
Everyone believes that Megan was kidnapped, well partially, but she isn’t in bad hands because if she is, I will definitely feel it and strike, no matter where she is. Who else would have written that false letter if not Violet?
My mission in this world is not to kill her, her precious Megan will surely rip her head off when the time comes. I thought laughing out without noticing the presence of someone in the kitchen, until she cleared her throat, standing akimbo with an angry face.
“Humhun…..and why the hell, are you standing there, laughing like a witch when the water you placed on the cooker is boiling” The head cook yelled, furiously
I gasped, giving her that cute pout
“I’m sorry” I muttered and walked to put it off
She rolled her eyes, walking away
I shrugged
“She just doesn’t know she was right by calling me a witch, I can’t blame humans…” I breathed out

Witches’ Kingdom~
.
Violet could be seen pacing around her room, sighing and groaning at the same time.
“F**k” She cursed, ruffling her hair
“Can you just slow down a minute…get a hold of yourself, girl,” Riana muttered. She is Violet's friend and also a witch
Violet scoffed
“Do you even know the type of mission I am carrying out, if you do, you won’t be lying there, stuffing your mouth with my snacks, having no suggestion to give me” Violet yelled
Riana rolled her eyes, taking another bite from the doughnut she held.
“I never said that I didn’t know what was going on, but you can’t get any idea walking around that way. You are practically annoying me with that movement” She stated, gulping down a glass of water.
“Whatever”
“And why the hell did you agree to this mission, isn’t it a bit deadly..well, according to all you have told me. That Lily is a badass”
“Come on Riana, I need to gain the trust of the queen. You know what it means to fulfill this mission. I will get the chance to be more close to the queen and be given a higher rank in the kingdom. And whereas, we really need that seal” She snapped. Riana nodded
“Yeah..you are right…but not only that…you are also doing it to get the prince to notice you... Come on, Violent, you can’t pretend around me; I know you,” Riana winked. Violet sighed out
“I love him..”
“But he doesn’t even know you..not to talk of loving you back. The prince is nothing like the queen, he is such a cold idiot..”
“Don’t you ever call him that…because he is my soon-to-be husband..be warned,” Violet snapped, her eyes turning red. Riana was forced to surrender

“Ok…ok...I won’t…so how do you plan on getting the lily and also dealing with that Lottie girl.” She smirked
Violet thought for a while, before returning her gaze to her
“I am thinking of something since I can’t reach her in the physical. I will just do something to bring her out from her hiding place in the spiritual realm.” She smiled out
Riana frowned
“And how are you gonna do that…argh…you want to penetrate her dreamland?”
“Sure…what else?”
“But how will that make her leave her hiding place, are you planning to threaten her in her dream or…”
“More like that….let’s say, using one of her family members or someone she loves so much will do. You know….Megan can be really caring; she won’t want anything to befall her loved ones, that’s her weakness, and that is where I will trap her.
I wanted to use that trick by kidnapping her mum earlier and use it to bring her to me. But that couldn’t work because of that b!tch Lottie, I have a feeling that she is beyond who we think she is.
She smells like a human, but her courage is telling me otherwise. I could feel a strong aura erupting from her while she spoke to me, which made me believe that she was not ordinary.
Her presence in the house wouldn’t have stopped me though, but this current plan is way easier.”
She wriggled her brows, clamping her fingers together with a wide grin
Riana nodded to her plans
“Good idea…so let’s see how the plan will work” She stated
“Hmm…I think I am missing something. If Lottie could challenge me that way, I have a hunch that she knows where Megan is, and might have a feeling of something wrong happening to her….”
She turned to face Riana with a wicked grin; Riana, perplexed, stared at her with a questioning look
“You are gonna come into this mission Riana….”
“Okay…so what am I gonna do?”
“Just a little distraction won’t hurt right….you will go for Lottie” She cooed, as Riana arced her brows
“And how am I gonna create a distraction”
“Just wait for it, that little b!tch won’t be expecting anything… hahaha,” She laughed out hieratically.

Lottie’s POV
I was done with the day’s work and decided to retire to bed. It is practically late; I should have retired to bed sooner but was asked to do other things. The work in the mansion is gradually getting much; I can’t tell why, or is it just me seeing it in that way?
I should have stopped my work here since my mission in the human world is almost over, but Megan’s family will be in danger once I step my foot out.
My aura has been the one preventing anything from endangering their lives.
I applied for the maid job right when Mrs. Johnson was pregnant with Megan; I worked for some time and left.
Not that I wanted to leave, but I didn’t want to create suspicions. I was meant to age with the others as the years went by but couldn’t due to my real nature.
They might begin to see me as something else if the other people were aging why I remain the same. I came back the following week in another person’s face, to apply for the maid job again.
They gave me the job since there was a vacancy, not knowing that the previous person who left was still the one who came back in another body.
My mission is to protect the seal until the bearer is of age to know its usage and bring the whole mystic race back to the lost city of Enchante.
Stepping into my room, a sudden smell hits my nose. I could feel the presence of a non-human; though the fellow’s aura wasn’t powerful, it stated danger.
Pretending not to feel anything, I walked into the bathroom, took a hot bath, and went back into the room. The figure is still in hiding, not wanting to reveal his/herself. What a coward. I thought and chuckled.
I slipped into my pajamas and sat on the bed as I picnicked a novel to keep myself busy. And just as I have thought, the figure revealed herself. She stood a few meters away from my bed, wearing a wicked grin. I mentally scrutinized her; she looked so young to me.
Having brunette hair with little freckles on her face; her lips were painted red, more like she had had a good quantity of blood.
Her steps made sounds as her heels touched the tiled floor. I raised my head up from the book to look at her, not showing any sign of fear.
She let out a weird laughter that echoed around the room, perhaps to scare me, but she was shocked to see my reaction. I didn’t move. She stopped and gave me a weird look
“This b!tch really got some nerves” I heard her say in her mind and was forced to let out a chuckle
“You know…I don’t think I have much time to spend here…but let me warn you so that when you get to the afterlife, you will know how to respect a queen when you see one…” She snapped, glaring daggers at me.
I watched her with an expressionless face, as her face crunched up in anger. With a mighty force erupting from her, she tried compelling me to submit, her eyes turning red, making her face look more deadly. But to her surprise, it didn’t work.
She paused to look at me; I folded my arms enjoying the show.
“You are such a fool, Lottie; who the hell are you? Stop being a coward; get up and fight me!” She yelled. No response
She made large fireballs with her hands, using me as a target, and she sent them in my direction. It burst into the air, about to hit me, but immediately melted with the wind, creating a beautiful firework.
She was forced to gasp this time. I could see fear creeping up her face as she took two steps backward. I grinned, dropping the novel.
“Okay…enough of the show…my turn….Riana” I wriggled my brows at her. I climbed down the bed, looking intently at her as she shivered, moving backward. I smirk.
I knew my face would be looking scary by now, as my eyes turned from their usual golden brown color to deep black. I snapped my finger in the air as her limbs came crumbling to the ground. She groaned loudly, being forced to kneel without warning.
“Who the hell are you…and..and how do you know my name” She snapped, trying to show confidence, but the fear in her eyes kept betraying her.
“You see, Riana…this is the first thing you should have done when you came in here instead of running your mouth with a fidgeting fish.
When the fake queen sees the real queen…tell me…what will she do? She will get on her knees and bow to the ground..you are nothing but a kid with disrespect.”
I snapped my finger again as a loud groan escaped her mouth. Her two hands went up into the air, getting stuck in it without her being able to bring it down.
“This is the type of punishment I will give you for disrespect; you don’t need to tell me who sent you because I already know the b!tch… you will kneel down here and raise up your hands for the whole night.
I will let you go by morning…you know why….because I am not as b! itchy as your friend or wicked as your queen”
I heard her stiffen a cry
“Please….just release me…I ain't gonna pester you anymore…argh..this is painful,” She yelped. I smirked, walking back to bed but paused when I felt something in the spiritual realm. Someone has broken into Megan’s dreamland, which is not right
I turned to face Riana who was still shedding tears, trying as much as possible to free herself from my spell. It will just be a waste of time; she doesn’t even have the tiniest quarter of my powers to release the spell.
“I will be back” I noted and left the room
Stepping into the spiritual world, I notice her presence. And just as I was about to take action, I saw her leaving the realm with a wide smirk on her face.
Damn, I wasn’t fast enough to notice that she had broken in, perhaps because I was distracted by that idiot. She might have felt my presence and leader, perhaps done with what she came for.
“Hmmm…this is a plan work. I need to deal with that b!tch in my room”
