"Um, where will you take me, Master?" Vanessa asked curiously.
In the morning, Alex asked Vaessa to get ready as they were going on a trip.
Vanessa was very excited and looking forward to it. She packed a few stuff before returning to his room.
Alex smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist. "You believe in me?"
"Yes, Master~" Vanessa nodded her head.
"Then close your eyes,"
Vanessa didn't ask why since she thought Alex wanted to be intimate with her.
Alex smiled and darkness spread out from under his feet, covering both him and Vanessa. Both of their figures submerged into the shadow beneath Alex's feet.
Vanessa had a feeling of free fall like she was falling nonstop from somewhere but Alex's presence beside her gave her courage and confidence. She had a feeling in her heart that as long as Alex was beside her, nothing would happen to her at all.
The feeling stopped after two minutes and she heard Alex's voice.
"We're here. Now, open your eyes."
Vanessa slowly opened her eyes and looked ahead, only to be shocked. She tensed up and grabbed Alex's arm in panic, slightly scared.
Alex smiled and put a hand on her shoulder, rubbing it to reassure her.
The duo had arrived in a large hall with dirty white walls and dark halls leading to who knows where. There were multiple heads of animals decorating the walls of this place with a large brown carpet covering the floor.
But what scared Vanessa was the presence of a woman.
A woman in her early thirties was sitting on a throne staring at them. She was tall and had a slim build along with pink hair, which was pulled up under her hat, and teal eyes. Beneath both of her eyes were three dark blue teardrops. Her lips were the same shade of blue. Her nails were long and sharp and had the same color.
She was wearing a light green, layered dress with each layer of the skirt having a large red eyespot. The bodice had a high neck and long sleeves. The skirt flared out into a large hoop. She was also wearing a white conical hat with a wide brim. It had the same layered look as her dress but lacked the eyespots.
Additionally, the black feather hat band had a dark red flower in front and a collection of multicolored jewels on her left side. From her left ear hung a purple magic stone, and from her necklace hung three black feathers.
"It's You!!" The woman saw Vanessa and shouted out coldly.
Vanessa was startled, shivering in her arms. She had a history with the woman and a very painful one on that.
Alex hugged Vanessa's waist and raised his eyebrow. "You seem to have some problem with my girl, huh Witch Queen?"
Yep, the woman was the Witch Queen, the mother of all Witches, and the ruler of the Witch Forest.
"And you're..." Witch Queen's facial expression crumbled down, replaced with a slightly scared expression. She asked, "Why are you here again?"
Alex grinned and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I'm here to help my girl solve the knot in her heart."
"Your girl?" Witch Queen was intrigued by his words and turned to Vanessa, her eyes dancing in joy. "Did you both...?
Vanessa was surprised by the conversation between Alex and Witch Queen, realizing that they knew each other. It left her dumbfounded since the way they talked it was clear that Witch Queen was careful of Alex.
'That cold and cruel woman is actually scared of Asta! Just... what's going on?'
When the Witch Queen asked her, Vanessa nodded her head.
Instantly, the Witch Queen's face was filled with joy as if she had received a piece of great news. She stood up from her seat and arrived in front of Vanessa, patting her shoulder.
"Not bad. For the first time in your life, you've done something worthwhile. Now, be a good girl and have a baby with him quickly. I'll take care of that child and raise it well."
"Hey, hey, hey, are you trying to piss me off by saying that? And here I thought you had changed..." Alex grumbled in annoyance. He couldn't help but get irritated by her shitty personality.
Witch Queen turned her head towards him and replied. "Don't worry. I'll treat the kid with care. I still don't want to die yet."
Alex stared at her and nodded his head.
Vanessa was so shocked that she was just listening to their talks dumbly, not understanding what was happening at all.
Alex realized her messy thoughts and smiled. "I actually came here two years ago during the time when I was a mercenary."
"You was a mercenary?" Vanessa asked, surprised again. She had never associated him with a job like that.
Alex shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I've to put food on the table. After all, I'm the eldest in the church."
Witch Queen put a hand on her mouth and smiled. "He is much more than just a mercenary."
"What do you mean...?" Vanessa tilted her head at Witch Queen's comment.
The Witch Queen giggled, much different from her usual cold demeanor. Her eyes were dancing mischievously.
"Your man here has repeatedly caused trouble in the four kingdoms in the last three years. Maybe you're familiar with the name, Lupin..."
"The legendary thief?..." Vanessa's eyes widened in shock and she abruptly turned her head at Alex. "Don't tell me...?"
"Yep. I'm Lupin!" Alex admitted it with a grin.
Vanessa was still thinking that Witch Queen was just messing with her but for him to admit it so easily, it proved that it was the truth.
"Oh my, now that's something interesting that I learned today..."
While the trio were chatting, three more people appeared in the palace hall. It was one man and two beautiful women.
The guy was a man of average height with a slim figure and well-defined muscle tone. He had medium-length messy red hair, blue eyes, and a stubbled beard. His attire consisted of a white long-sleeved shirt, blue pants, brown boots, and a green coat.
The woman to his right was a slender woman with fair skin and orange hair tied in a knot by a blue hat. She wears a long-sleeved dark violet dress with a brown belt and cloak over her shoulders.
And the last one was a fair-skinned young girl with a voluptuous figure. She had pink eyes and short black hair.
"Do you guys have taken my place as your backyard?" The Witch Queen asked coldly. She was annoyed by more and more people entering her kingdom.
