Bab 168: Strength and weakness

Samantha now understood what had happened and she was mortified to think that someone wanted to cause harm to the royal family. How strong the enmity must be for them to use a death spell against the family? She wondered.

Though she could not comprehend what exactly was the reason for doing so, her intuition told her that it was not the young King's fault. She trusted him to be just and honest to his people. It was the other person who was wrong and had resorted to unjust and cruel methods to seek revenge.

Just like Samantha, even Saorsa was in disbelief to think that someone out there had approached a witch to harm the royal family. Who could it be? She thought to herself. Though Queen Daphne had not iterated it, Soarsa understood that it was a human, a jealous one at that who had sought out a witch to harm the king and his family. The witches would not dare to act on their own accord even though there were a few who despised the royal family.
