She Belongs To The Devil

Adeline and Raphael reached to Agnes\'s place. As usual, the fortune-telling place looked gloomy and dark. And there weren\'t any customers who had come to have a fortune reading. The two brother and sister walked inside to find Agnes already waiting for them as if she had already had a vision of them visiting her.

"Your Highness," Agnes bowed to both Adeline and Raphael and gestured them to come inside to the fortune-telling room, "I would like to welcome you both to my humble place. Please, come in."

"Thank you, Agnes," Adeline gave a soft smile to Agnes and then followed her inside the room.

Agnes had already prepared two chairs for the Prince and Princess inside her room. "Please, make yourself comfortable," Agnes gestured towards the chair.

After the Prince and Princess sat down, Agnes also took her seat.

Normally, there would only be a chair inside that room so Adeline couldn\'t help but ask, "You already knew that we were coming?"

Agnes smiled at the Princess and confirmed, "Yes, Your Highness. I had a vision not long ago."

Raphael was curious to know more about the vision and he instantly asked, "How does it work? Did you see us coming here in your vision?"

Agnes would always find it amusing to see people getting intrigued by her ability and having their own assumption on how it worked. And she was more than happy to let the Prince know how it really worked. "No, I don\'t see clear images. I just see it like dreams and I have to decipher the hidden meaning behind those dreams."

"Then what did you see? And how did you know that we would be coming to see you?" Raphael was even more curious how Agnes would be able to predict things just by deciphering the dreams.

Agnes gladly explained, "I saw that a man and a woman wearing all white clothes were standing at the edge of a hill. Another man wearing half black and half white dragged a dark sorceress to the edge of that same hill. And the two in whites pushed that dark sorceress down the hill, ultimately sending her to the depths of hell."

A smile curved up on Adeline\'s lips. Though Agnes was speaking a little vaguely, she guessed what and who she was talking about. And if her predictions were to come true, which they did in the past, then it meant that the dark sorceress that she knew was going to be punished for all her wrongdoings soon.

Agnes then explained how she predicted that Adeline and Raphael would come to see her, "Since there is only one dark sorceress in Wyverndale, I guessed that the sorceress in my dream was Lillian. And since Princess Adeline is in power, I assumed that the woman in white was the Princess. I was not sure about the identity of the two men. But I was sure that I would be visited by the two in white."

Raphael was still not satisfied as she did not explain why she didn\'t think that the third man in her vision would not come to visit her, so he asked the same.

Agnes smiled and tried to clear the doubt of the Prince, "In my vision, the people wearing dark signifies that they have done something really bad in their life. And they don\'t normally come seeking a witch who can look into them."

"Oh… that makes a lot of sense now that you put it that way," Raphael nodded his head thoughtfully.

Adeline, on the other hand, was restlessly waiting for her brother to stop questioning Agnes so much. She really needed her questions about Lillian to get answered if she was to send Lillian to a living Hell.

And when she found the opening, she instantly shot her own question at Agnes, "Agnes, you are right. We are here to ask a few things that are related to Lillian in one way or another. First, let me ask you this, can the dark sorceress like Lillian become immortal?"

"Immortal?" Agnes raised her brows and gently shook her head, "I have never heard of any humans achieving immortality, no matter how powerful they are. What led you to ask that? Is she doing something that our Coven does not know about?"

Adeline took a quick glance at Raphael as she was going to reveal a secret that he was aware of. "Lillian has already transferred the life force of three innocent maids to her son Edwin. And if she could do that for her son, can\'t she do that for herself? Won\'t she be immortal if she keeps on killing people and stealing their life force?"

Agnes sat unmoving for a while. The only thing that she was moving was her eyes as if she was thinking something.

She then took a deep breath in and put her thoughts into words, "I think I once heard that the dark witches and wizards are able to make their soul act as a conductor and transfer one person\'s life to another, once in their lifetime. I don\'t know how Lillian managed to do it three times."

Agnes was lost in her thoughts once again and after some time, she added, "And to answer your question regarding whether she can be immortal or not, I don\'t think that she can take someone else\'s life force for herself. That is against the law of nature and God won\'t allow it. There will be repercussions."

Adeline heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. She could not even imagine Lillian walking the Earth for centuries to come, causing destruction everywhere she went.

Then finally, the Princess asked what she actually wanted to ask, "I heard from a source that Frostford keeps their magic-knowing criminals inside a magic circle. You all know how many lives Lillian has already taken. And I think it is time that I punish her for what she has done."

Adeline leaned forward with a serious look on her face and asked, "Agnes, can you or anyone from the Mystic Coven create such a magic circle to confine Lillian?"
