Chapter 226: A Trap
The dark sky had loomed over Rhistel as he rode the horse with urgency. The path was barely visible but his eyes were too sharp to miss anything.
"How far is that temple?" he demanded without looking back.
The girl held him tightly as he rode with a monstrous speed. "It is in the clearing. You will reach there once you cross the lake."
"If i did not find Oriana or kids there, you are going to die there, witch." the girl frowned and glared at him in the dark.
He sneered when she acted innocent.
"Do not think that I treated you as a normal innocent girl. I can sniff the witches even in the dark and I know that you are working for Clondoires too. I have saved you and now I owe your life. You will help me with the rescue." The witch was stunned for a moment.
She was most afraid of Olivia when they made the plan. She was sure Olivia being a blood witch would recognize all of them. But she did not. And Whistle had been protected from the crowd. She had been sure that she had completed her mission.
She had distracted all of them and controlled Rhistel completely. But now..
"The shawl you are wearing is given by Olivia.." Rhistel spoke softly as if only talking about the moon and stars, "it had a forbidden magic in it. If you lie or betray me, you would suffer agony and die." the witch frowned and scoffed, ready to kill him then and there to prove that he was a fool when she felt the pain in her chest.
