Bab 80: The Powerful Witch

Selma Payne's POV:

I looked at Aldrich in confusion, and he explained softly, "When the southern Duke and the pure white witch were in love, the pure white witch often made black tea cookies for the southern Duke as a gift. From then on, black tea cookies became the southern Duke's favorite. He would never reject them, except today.

"This means that he's asking for help. He's using extremely abnormal behavior to ask for help.

"What's even worse is that even without Carolyn by his side, the southern Duke cannot speak freely. Either Carolyn can monitor his movements at all times, or he's unwilling to take risks and tell the truth. This means that he's under an extremely urgent threat.

"The southern Duke is a brave warrior, and the witch's power can't possibly be strong enough to threaten Southern Pack, so there's only one option left.

"His daughter, the real Carolyn, might be hovering on the edge of death."
