Chapter 32: Gloria, the Witch’s Head
Magnus greeted his father before sitting in front of him. He noticed the setting of the living room had changed completely after his last visit. "Your mother chose to change the interior here," King Esmond pronounced and placed the silver cup beside him on the ornated side table.
"Mother doesn’t keep things intact for a long time," Magnus remarked and realized he was the opposite of his mother. He would love to keep the things they initially were.
"So, how is Prince Magnus’s wife doing?" King Esmond was curious to know if any kind of tragedy occurred in the South Residence.
"Alora is careful with her eyes. I have commanded the servants well," Magnus answered.
"Your mother is still upset about your marriage with Alora. We wanted you and your wife to stay here." King Esmond pondered what his son saw in Alora that he married her in such a hurry. "You were living alone in Elmswood for more than two centuries. Suddenly, you liked a woman, whom the entire Kingdom refused to marry. I’m surprised by your choice."
Magnus smiled a little. "Alora is a perfect woman for me. She is innocent and sweet," he asserted.
King Esmond nodded in acknowledgment. "So, what does the Prince want?" He knew Magnus would not come to him unless he wanted something.
"I want to meet the Witch’s Head," Magnus replied.
"That was not what I expected," King Esmond replied.
"Father is the King, so he can give an order to the Witch’s Head to see me," Magnus stated.
"I cannot invite the Witch’s Head to the palace. Instead, you need to go to a place in the capital, where the meeting between you two can happen," King Esmond clarified to him.
