Chapter 26 The Missing Female Mage

Collection, collection!

The prince was sank on the throne, still in shock. He drank the strong red wine sip after squinting, but his hands were trembling very hard, almost unable to hold the wine glass, let alone deliver it to his mouth in preparation. The scarlet wine spilled out of the cup, wet his chin and dyed his clothes red.

"I have to thank you, thank you sincerely." The prince threw down the cup helplessly. He tried to sit upright, but the fear still couldn't retreat. He straightened his back with all his might, making himself more like a stone statue. However, the shaking corners of his lips made all his expectations empty. The alchemist had planned to say goodbye, but the prince still left them. He thanked them, "Thank you. You saved me and Nianta. I have no doubt that Alanbert's madness will kill me too."

The old woman was rebanding the wound for Leo. The bandage was unveiled again and again, and the pain was pouring out with blood. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to prevent himself from making a sound. He didn't hear a word from the prince, but he was very hoped that a little poppy pollen could numb the nerves and make him feel the pain. But the old woman seemed to have no idea of ​​its effectiveness. She just used maggots to release the dirty blood with leeches and ate the rotten meat. Then applied it to him with the grass leaves that were mashed into paste.

"Alchemist, what's going on? I still can't figure it out." Prince Oberon frowned, and there was still horror in his eyes. "Nianta... and her curse... and Alanbert, how could he--the alchemist?"

You should ask Baron Alanbert instead of me. Leo moved his body a little, but was pressed by the old woman. He had to endure it while speaking hard, "That's because..."

"I'll answer for him." Miss Bachelor said softly, taking over the conversation. "Master Baron is the man who cast the curse. He cursed Miss Nianta, and the curse turned her into the Night Witch."

The prince whispered in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

"Prince?"

"What's up?"

"The curse will not come out of thin air. Something must have happened, right?"

The prince remained silent. He waved his hand to repel all the waiters until the old woman bowed and left. "The person Alanbert loved was the wife of the Count of the Golden Ship, Vivian, and Nianta's mother." He sighed, "He loved her, and she loved him too."

But she married the Earl of Golden Ship.

Prince Oberon nodded heavily. "You have gained my trust, but please keep your mouth in mind." Before telling the whole story, he first warned. Dealing with the king is tantamount to seeking a slut with a tiger. "They love each other, but because of the family, Vivian had to marry the Earl of the Golden Ship. Alanbert also married Margaret. However..." He seemed a little difficult to speak out. The prince hesitated for a moment. "However, they were still in contact and secretly met."

"The Baron certainly can't stand his lover being pregnant with someone else's child."

"Yes." The prince's voice was dry and hoarse, and every word he said seemed to have exhausted all his strength. "Their noise was well known. Several families fought and fought, but they could not get a result. In the end, I ordered them not to meet again." Prince Oberon's eyes gradually disappeared without any focus. He grabbed the wine glass, but the wine inside had been completely drunk. He sighed sadly and put down the wine glass. "I thought... I thought everything would calm down." He said, "But, not long after, the Count of the Golden Ship and Vivian died suddenly one after another, and even Nianta died soon after." He was silent for a while, looking at the alchemist, and weakly asked for help. "You say, alchemist, is this Allenbert doing it? Could it be him?"

"I haven't seen their bodies before, I can't confirm."

"...they look..." The prince shivered. Leo could guess what kind of terrible scene it would have made a king afraid. "The monks said they died of terrible disease. But now I think it was either magic or poison." The prince looked painful. "But, how could he kill them? Alanbert actually killed his beloved."

"Hate because of love." said the bachelor's lady in a deep voice. "And not only that..."

“Not only that?”

"He is the same with his wife, his son..."

"…wait." The prince's eyes were filled with shock and despair. "…you mean...Edward, and Margaret..."

The alchemist nodded heavily. "It probably has nothing to do with him."

"I didn't expect it was him, how could it be him? He harmed Edward and turned Margaret into a monster?" The prince shook his head in disbelief, "And he framed you?"

"I didn't lie, nor did I intend to sow discord and frame it." The alchemist assured Prince Oberon that they would leave sooner or later, and it was meaningless to do so. "I thought the symbols in his house were left by others." Leo said his guess, "But now, I think it was done by him."

"Those magic symbols? He...he is exposed to magic? He learns witchcraft?"

"Otherwise how will the curse take effect?"

The reality is in front of you, and the prince cannot believe it. "How could he be so crazy?" the prince murmured to himself, "Will he make everyone have nothing to love, suffer all the torture, and die in a mad manner?"

"You have to ask him yourself."

"I will, I will. But, I don't know how to face him." What does it mean? How could the prince not face the prisoner? "Because, because..."

“Why?”

"Nianta, Nianta is actually Alan Burt's daughter." The prince finished speaking in one breath, then completely collapsed, collapsed on the chair, covering his face with his palm.

Lu Yuewu exclaimed in depressingly, "This is simply..."

Li Ou only felt his head buzzing. He thought it through and could not have thought it would be like this. He heard the gurgling sound of everyone present swallowing. "If...I mean, if... Baron knows..."

"He wouldn't know, and Neanta wouldn't know. No one else except us. Do you understand, alchemist?" The prince's warning was like a sharp sword resting on their necks. After receiving their confirmed answer, the prince raised his hand weakly. "Let's go, alchemist, and ladies, you can leave first, let me be quiet alone. Yahan, send our guests. As for Alanbert... I will let him die secretly and decently."

The prince had no choice. They said goodbye and left.

They were silent all the way, sitting in the sedan chair like shrimps with their backs on their backs. Until Lu Yuewu spoke in a low voice. "Li Ou, I'm still surprised. Why did he do that? He killed his lover, killed his wife and children... In the end, this was the biggest tragedy than I have ever seen." There was a throbbing uneasy in her eyes. "But I think... he is the real cursemaker?"

The alchemist and the bachelor's lady looked at each other.

"No." They said it almost at the same time.

The female swordsman's body trembled slightly. "Who is that? Have you deceived the prince again?" she said uneasy, "If he knew... he would be furious."

"No one can determine the cause of the curse." Miss Bachelor comforted her. "It is enough that we only need to know where there are evil. Of course, we have to have a way to overcome them."

"Use killing?"

"It is usually. I have been to many places when I traveled, and people are usually talking about monsters and killings. The kings are happy to crown all kinds of crimes on monsters. Usually people just want to protect themselves, and only a few people ask for the removal of the spells." The Bachelor's Miss said softly, "If the monsters still cruelly regard human reason, revenge is inevitable."

"Nianta..."

"Yuewu, we don't know how the curse was formed." Just as he didn't know how the curse was produced on his body. "But Alanbert's madness may be the fuse of the spell, which led to today's situation. Pure malice is something more terrifying than magic and witchcraft. As long as the malice dissipates, it will naturally be solved."

"She won't change back?"

"Unless someone casts a spell again," the alchemist told her.

The sedan stopped. With the help of Lu Yuewu, Li Ou slowly moved down, "I have to go to sleep for a while." He felt dizzy and tiredness surged like waves.

"Do you want me to get some medicine for you?" asked the bachelor's lady.

He struggled with one leg and jumped onto the stone steps in front of the door. "Some sleeping medicine." The pain and itch of the wound would torture him to wake him up, and the ghostly nightmare was always lingering. All sleeping medicines would help recover as soon as possible. "Please trouble you."

"Sir, Miss." The fisherman's daughter suddenly opened the door and scared them. "You are back." She stood up anxiously.

"Narya, what's wrong?" asked the bachelor's lady.

She said quickly, "Miss Rosie is gone!"

Disappear? What's going on? Is it worth making a fuss? "She goes out to relax and won't get lost." Li Ou said, "She is not a child. There is no need to keep her in a cage and stare at her all day."

"No, no, sir." Nariya waved her hand anxiously, "Asha said, Miss Rosie went out angrily after you left, and she hasn't come back until now. It's been a whole day."

They didn't see the lame girl's voice. "Where is Asha?"

"She went out to find Miss Rosie. She insisted on going, but no one could stop her."

She was limping, and it was completely unfamiliar to her. She couldn't speak Valian. "Where is the Knight of Tario? How much does the Crow's fee cost?" Leo asked.

"Master Tario went with Asha." That's pretty good. "Mr. Fefedo and his tribe members also helped find it."

"No news came back?"

Nariya shook her head, "No, nothing."

"Thingsome." Leo told them, "She knew she would come back." However, he did not see Rosie's shadow until the sun set. Has she left? He left him completely? Gentleness is indeed as the poet said, like a blooming cereal, and will there be only a short moment? When the passion that made the mind fades away, there will only be the reason and reality that hurt each other, struggling hard and fighting to the death? He looked at the calm pond and wondered whether her heart would be as quiet as this pond, as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, just waiting for the cold winter to completely block it?

"Li Ou," Lu Yuewu came to his side, "Captain Yahan has sent out the red-robed guards, and they have helped find them. Rosie will be back soon. I believe she will not leave."

He turned his head and looked at her long silk-like hair glowing with a golden halo under the afterglow of the sunset, and suddenly he just wanted to bury his head weakly. She had always been behind him and supported every decision he made - even if it was wrong.

However, the female swordsman left her eyes. "Go to bed early. I don't think even Rosie wants to see you torture your body."
