Bab 698: Is There Another Black Witch?

"She is after the black nightshade," Drayce commented and asked, "Did you find out why?"

Yorian affirmed, "Indeed. She requires it to stabilize her grandfather's health; he's grappling with dementia."

Astonished, Drayce exclaimed, "She'd risk her life, even resorting to smuggling a prohibited herb, all for her grandfather? Are we certain there's no ulterior motive?"

Yorian replied with conviction, "None whatsoever. Trust me, King Drayce. I had a good talk with her after I told her she is a black witch. The witch who is not even aware that she is a witch, what could she plan to do with such a dangerous herb? She just had a difficulty in making medicine with that herb as her black magic power was interfering with it by neutralizing the poisonous effect of that herb. She now needs to learn how to control her power so it won't affect that herb and she could make the medicine without any difficulty."
