Chapter 84 - New Ally?



It had only taken around 10 minutes to tell the fortune of the other Princes and Princesses. However, due to an unexpected visit from the Devil, Princess Adeline was inside the room for much longer. And the ones who were outside in the waiting room were already bored.

"What is taking so long? Is the fortune-teller predicting every life event of Adeline or something?" Nefriti complained in a very bored tone.

"I don\'t know what they might be talking about but it definitely has been way too long already." Raphael stretched his legs and massaged them lightly, and then said, "My legs are starting to get numb by sitting in this uncomfortable stool."

Kaela immediately got up from the small stool. She let out a huge sigh of relief and said to Raphael in her complaining tone, "Ah! I\'m glad you finally gave up trying to look comfortable in these stools. You lose, I win. Now I can finally stand."

"What did I lose? What were we even competing on?" Raphael looked at Kaela with a confused look on his face.

Kaela folded her arms and confronted Raphael, "How can you forget so fast? Weren\'t you the one to say that you could sit on these stools for hours, that also without complaining? But you complained first, so you lose."

"You two! Stop it already! My ears are hurting because of your whining." Gustin shouted at the two of them. He looked even grumpier than ever.

"Alright! That\'s it. I am going to listen to what they are really talking about. I want to know what\'s taking so long." Nefriti got up from her stool and then stick her ear on the door.

She tried to listen to the conversation that was going on inside the room. However, she couldn\'t even hear a whisper. "That\'s weird! I cannot hear a word from inside. Are they even talking? Or did both of them fall asleep?"

"Don\'t act Nefriti. The door doesn\'t even look that thick. How can you not hear anything?" Claudia finally spoke, irritated by everyone.

Nefriti defended herself immediately, "I am not lying. I cannot hear anything."

But Claudia did not believe Nefriti at all. So she tried to mock Nefriti to curb her boredom. "Then maybe your ears are getting weak. You should go see a healer when we return back to the Palace."

Nefriti fisted on her hips as if she was challenging Claudia and said, "If your ears are so sharp then maybe you should try listening by yourself."

Claudia also immediately got up from her stool and went near the door. She placed her ear over the door and listened in. But what Nefriti was saying was true. Even though the door seemed really thin, nothing was audible to them. "What? Why can\'t I even listen to any mumbling sounds?"

Nefriti darted her eyes at the ceiling and then spoke in a sarcastic tone, "I heard that someone had sharp ears!"

Claudia wrinkled her nose and glared at Nefriti. Then she turned around and went back to sit on the uncomfortable stool.

Nefriti looked at her half-sibling and noticed that all of them looked weary and uninterested to do anything. She inhaled a puff of air through her mouth then knocked at the door, "Adeline… how much time will it still take?" Nefriti did not want to resort to this petty act and disturb Adeline\'s fortune-telling but she could not stay idle for another second. She was already bored out of her mind.

Inside the fortune-telling room, when Adeline heard Nefriti calling her, she turned towards the door and shouted from inside, "I will be out in a minute."

But Agnes smiled and said, "Oh! They can\'t hear you from the outside. Once my customer is inside this room and I lock the door, any sound produced inside this room won\'t be heard from outside. I cast a spell to block the sound from leaving the room."

Adeline\'s eyes were wide open when she heard that Agnes had cast a spell to block the sound. Though Agnes had already justified that she did not work for Lillian, there was no denying that Adeline was still a little suspicious about this mysterious witch.

Seeing the surprised and suspicious look on Adeline\'s face, Agnes justified her action, "I did that so that my customer\'s secrets won\'t be revealed to the others in the waiting room." Agnes took a quick glance at Theodore and said, "And it definitely came in handy today. I am guessing that you have kept your guardian a secret from your brothers and sisters."

Adeline finally managed to smile at Agnes. Then she politely asked her for a meeting, "Can I invite you over to the Palace, to my quarter? I would like to know a few things regarding Lillian."

Upon hearing that request made by Adeline to Agnes, Theodore pressed his lips together in disapproval. He did not want Adeline to think and know about Lillian too much, not until she gave her test. If she knew what Lillian had done to him, he knew for sure that Adeline would not stay quiet.

However, Agnes politely declined the invitation of the Princess. "I am sorry Princess but I cannot come inside the Palace. Lillian had banished me from Wyverndale a long time ago and if some guards recognize me, then I will be severely punished."

Adeline did not want to insist and put someone\'s life in danger by being stubborn. So instead she said, "Then I will come to visit you some other time. I hope you will be staying here in this village."

"Yes, I will be in the village for some time. I have to keep an eye on Lillian." Agnes had a look of determination mixed with anger on her face when she said that. Then she smiled at the Princess and politely invited Adeline over to her place, "You can come here to visit me at any time. We can have a nice chat together."

"Thank you!" Adeline was happy to have come to the market today. She got a chance to meet another witch, who seemed to be good. And Agnes\'s coven seemed to share her hate towards Lillian\'s dark deeds.

Adeline remembered the saying that an enemy\'s enemies are friends. She wanted to get to know more about the Mystic Coven and turn them into her allies. That way, Adeline would not just have one witch but a whole coven on her side. And she also thought that to counter a witch\'s power, other witches\' magic would be a lot helpful.

Adeline turned around to see Theodore. He was pouting his lips and was standing quietly at the back. "Theodore, I will see you later okay? My brothers and sisters are waiting for me outside. I have already made them wait for enough for me so, talk to you later."

Theodore gave a whimsical smile to Adeline and nodded his head. "Sure."

Adeline left the two of them and went outside of the room.

Nefriti was still sticking to the door like some glue. But when she saw the lock of the door opening, she ran back to her stool and sat down as if she had not been trying to eavesdrop the whole time.

Then Nefriti gave out a nervous smile and said, "Finally! You didn\'t fall asleep in there, did you?"

Adeline chuckled and then apologized, "I\'m sorry, I have been making you all wait for me every time. It just took a little longer to interpret my future."

"Then you must have one hell of a future ahead." Nefriti playfully teased Adeline, not realizing that she was being rude.

Adeline\'s facial expression instantly turned grim when she heard that remark from Nefriti.

Claudia noticed how the expression on Adeline\'s face changed. "Nefriti! Think before you say anything stupid." Claudia scolded her immediately.

Adeline gave a mirthless smile to them. She was reminded again why she had felt a stinging pain in her heart just a while ago. She was starting to think that her life would be no less than hell if more deaths were to follow in the near future.

Nefriti also saw the sad look on Adeline\'s face and was angry at herself for speaking carelessly. "I\'m sorry Adeline, I didn\'t mean to say anything bad. I just meant to say that the readings might have been complicated to interpret."

Agnes came outside of the room to greet all of her customers with goodbyes. "Take care young ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy the rest of the evening. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" All the Princes and Princesses bid goodbye to her one by one. And they began stepping outside of the shop, which they had been waiting to do very eagerly.

"Thank you for having us!" Adeline sweetly smiled at Agnes again before she followed her brothers and sisters.

After all of the Princes and Princesses left, Agnes put up a \'closed\' sign outside her shop and then entered the room again.

Theodore was waiting for her. He wanted to know what Lillian was up to these days. He was unable to keep an eye on Lillian these days because if he did, she would instantly know he was around her even when he would cloak himself. So he wanted to get the information from Agnes.

Theodore pulled a chair to the side and leisurely sat down on it. Then he asked in a calm tone, "Agnes, right?"

Agnes nodded her head. She did not even dare to sit down in front of the great mystical being.

Theodore gestured at the chair and said, "Please, it\'s your place. Feel free to sit down."

Agnes nervously sat down on the tip of the chair. She was anxious about what the Devil was going to say to her.

But Theodore started to speak ever so calmly, "It so happens that I consider Lillian as my enemy.. I would like to know her latest moves. Tell me, what is she doing lately?"
