Chapter 153 The Past (2)
The rest of the witches joined their leader in disapproval.
"We are not leaving until they share this land with us," one yelled from the back of the crowd.
"Yes, we are not leaving. We have been reduced to trash in the realm. Even the human realm is far better than us."
"Yes, how can we live so low?"
The princess listened to their words, then a smile formed on her lips. "The fae will lend you magic to improve your land. Then it will be as good as the upper plain. Your fighting now is disrupting the balance of magic and nature... You are disturbing the peace of the fae realm considering it’s just a few distances away."
"You will lend us magic?" the leader screeched in surprise. Her black, rotten teeth were more visible as she widened her lips in laughter.
"Yes... but only in one condition," the princess’s tone became serious.
"Ohh, what must that be?" The witch’s eyes danced with mischief.
"You must not use the magic for any other thing except for the betterment of your land... for the time being. Once the issue is resolved, you will give me back my magic."
A look of displease flickered through the witches’ eyes, but they quickly masked it with a grateful one. "Sure, we will do as you say, princess," the leader drawled.
"Are you sure about this? You are going to give the witches fae magic and you think they will use it to better their land? Are you that naive or dumb that you don’t know the nature of witches?" My younger self snapped at the princess.
The princess turned around to face him. "Why should we judge them when we haven’t tried to trust them? I believe they only want a good land. I believe all creatures are good; it is only circumstances that should be blamed. I will give the witches the benefit of the doubt."
