Chapter 226: The test (1)

Ignis will come back soon. I've received enough missives from the front to believe it. Luckily, the rest of the reign can also hear about it before I have to do that damned test.

I could postpone and let him arrive here before proceeding, but Adelphium is right. We should strike the iron while it's hot and take advantage of the confusion to turn the situation in my favour.

There is a chance that I'm not declared a witch, after all. Just one, very tiny and almost dead. But it exists.

Also, no matter what they say, they can't do anything to me. I'm the King's wife. But what about the other Mages? What if the Church decides to take revenge on me by hurting them? To hunt them down with more cruelty because they can't reach me, a powerful witch for them?
