Chapter 503: Black Heart



His heart was trying to hold on to the hope that his mother hadn\'t killed his love and his life. But seeing all those soldiers mercilessly massacred by that witch, he was having a hard time holding on to that hope.

Edwin picked up a loaded crossbow and a sword along the way. "I\'m going to kill her this time," he swore to himself that he was going to make his mother pay for what she did.

"Prince Edwin! You shouldn\'t be here!" When the quarter was in view, he heard a familiar voice.

He darted his eyes around as he ran but didn\'t see the owner of the voice. "High Priestess? Is that you?"

"Yes." He heard the voice again.

Edwin\'s heart found a little solace after knowing that the High Priestess was with him. He also heard a few more footsteps coming from behind him.

A few of the witches of the Mystic Coven had invisibility spells on. They had also toned down their aura so that Lillian wouldn\'t notice them coming.

"I am heading towards your quarter. I can sense a great amount of dark energy being emitted from there. So I think you should let us handle th–"

They all heard the gut-wrenching scream coming from Edwin\'s quarter. They recognized Juniper\'s voice.

Edwin\'s heart hammered inside his chest upon hearing that agonizing scream. "Please hold on a little longer, Jun. I\'m coming…" he forced himself to run even faster.

"Your Highness, we will deal with Lillian. I think you should stay away from here. I don\'t want her attacking you again." The High Priestess was barely able to keep up with Edwin\'s speed. But she still didn\'t want him running to his quarter and getting stabbed again or killed.

But Edwin wasn\'t ready to listen to the High Priestess. Even if he had to get stabbed again or give up his life altogether, if that would save his wife and his daughter then he was ready to be a sacrifice.

When he was not too far away from his quarter, he suddenly came to a halt.

He heard his daughter crying like never before. And the only reason that he could think was that something bad had happened to his wife. "No, no, no, no…"

And immediately after that, some parts of the quarter began to shake violently. Large cracks started to appear on the building. He noticed that Joy\'s room in particular was taking most of the damage.

"That witch!" Edwin thought that it was Lillian who was doing all that and cursed her in his mind.

He looked behind and hoped that the witches of the Mystic Coven were close behind him. But rather than waiting for them, he rushed inside the quarter thinking he would be too late if he waited a second.

The witches were indeed close behind him. And when they noticed one part of the building swaying like a swing, some of them instantly worked on stabilizing the foundation as well as stopping the shaking.

Edwin ran up the stairs with the crossbow ready to fire the moment he would notice Lillian.

The door to Joy\'s room had broken down from the middle. He kicked the half which was blocking his way and got inside.

The moment Juniper saw her husband without a scratch on his body, she broke down in tears of happiness.

The first thing Edwin noticed after getting inside the room was that his wife and daughter were still alive. But he wasn\'t relieved just yet.

"Where\'s the witch?" Edwin was still on his guard.

Juniper pointed her jaw towards the heap of the broken furniture.

"Father?" Joyce stopped crying the moment she heard her father\'s voice.

She was about to turn around but Juniper stopped her. "No honey, don\'t turn around just yet."

Edwin widened his eyes upon seeing the state of the dark witch. Her smashed grey body and the way she was unmoving made it look like she was dead.

But he still wanted to make sure that she was dead for real.

He cautiously walked towards that pile of trash to take a closer look at the biggest piece of trash among that pile.

Edwin kept on staring at the witch\'s belly to see if it was moving. It was not.

He then put his finger below her nose. She wasn\'t breathing.

He didn\'t know how or why she was crushed by all the broken furniture and how a large piece of stick punctured her head. But whatever the reason and whatever the cause, he was relieved that her terrorizing era had come to an end.

However, just to be double sure, Edwin pointed the crossbow at Lillian\'s heart and then shot it.

Six of the arrows pulverized Lillian\'s chest and also her heart.

Edwin wrinkled his nose upon seeing the black tar-like substance gushing out of Lillian\'s chest. "Someone really did have a black heart!" he thought to himself without feeling a tinge of remorse. There was no reason to.

The witches of the Mystic Coven finally showed themselves. They were truly amazed as well as scared to see Lillian dead because they could guess who had actually killed that dark witch.

Tabitha glanced at Joyce who was facing her mother\'s chest and was covering her ears as per the instruction of her mother.

Tabitha couldn\'t help but get worried, "She will be a mighty witch, no doubt in that… But who will tame her if she is to sway from the path?"

"Father… I want to see father!" Edwin heard Joyce whining.

Edwin instantly threw away all his weapons and went and knelt down to hug both his wife and his daughter. He was finally able to take a sigh of relief.

"Edwin… you\'re okay… I\'m so glad that you\'re okay…" Juniper whispered while crying her eyes out. "She was saying that she killed you… that she stabbed swords in your gut… I was so…" She couldn\'t even whisper out the words anymore. She just kept on sobbing on her husband\'s chest.

"Father…" Joyce turned around and buried her face in Edwin\'s stomach. She pushed her tiny hand through the hole in his armor and gripped his tattered cloth. "Where were you? Grandma hurt me and my mother. Grandma is bad and scary. Tell auntie Adeline to put her in prison."

A few drops of untamed tears ran down Edwin\'s eyes. He carefully caressed his wife and his daughter\'s head.

And he apologized, "I\'m sorry I was late. I will never be late again, okay? And don\'t worry, your auntie will punish her for making you cry."

After giving a minute or so to the three of them, three of the witches came to heal Juniper. Each of them worked on her broken arms and leg.

A few of the witches slowly removed the furniture from Lillian\'s body so that they could take her outside. And few of them were still outside, holding the building from crumbling down.

While all of them were busy, something unseen by the normal eyes was going on right in the middle of all the chaos.

Lillian\'s corrupted soul had already left its body. And before the Grim Reaper came to collect her soul, her soul was flickering madly while emitting dark mist… as though something out of the ordinary was happening to that soul.
