Chương 217: Kruel's Gift

"The witch…. Orphelia is dead," the guard blurted out.

"What?!" Donovan and Zachary said at the same time hearing the shocking news.

"What do you mean?" Zachary couldn't believe what he heard. 

"The witch Orphelia was found dead this morning by the soldier guarding her," the soldiers said.

Donovan narrowed his eyes, "Take me to the place," Donovan said and then looked at his father and both of them left the castle hurriedly.

Far from the city, there was a small hut where Orphelia used to spend most of the time. King Zachary has built a big house for her in the middle of the city from where she could heal people and teach other young Witches her craft. But as the woman has grown old she didn't spend much time there but here in a small hut.

Soon Donovan and Zachary reached the place and soldiers standing there made way for them.

Inside the room on the ground was laying an old woman's body, lifelessly.
