Bab 78: Witch

[Munich - 1617] 

As the Princess fell to the ground in despair, a helping hand pushed its way from the flames. The Princess's eyes widened upon looking at Heinrich. He quickly took his overcoat off and wrapped the Princess with it. She immediately broke into tears, lacking the strength to stand up. 

Heinrich tried to help her stand up when she tightly grasped his shirt. 

"It is okay," Heinrich assured her, "I am here, right? It will be okay." He added calmly, "Hold onto me." He softly said before leaning to lift her into his arms. 

After enveloping each inch of her skin with his coat, he called Kaspar. Suddenly, bucketfuls of water fell on the flames, calming them down. 

Fortunately for the Princess, a servant had witnessed the Hoover family leaving the library, after which the Princess's screams echoed throughout the mansion. It led to Heinrich rushing to the library.
