NovelEnglish80 The Powerful Witch
Selma Payne’s POV:
I looked at Aldrich in confusion, and he explained softly, “When the southern Duke and the pure white witch were in love, the pure white witch often made black tea cookies for the southern Duke as a gift. From then on, black tea cookies became the southern Duke’s favorite. He would never reject them, except today.
“This means that he’s asking for help. He’s using extremely abnormal behavior to ask for help.
“What’s even worse is that even without Carolyn by his side, the southern Duke cannot speak freely. Either Carolyn can monitor his movements at all times, or he’s unwilling to take risks and tell the truth. This means that he’s under an extremely urgent threat.
“The southern Duke is a brave warrior, and the witch’s power can’t possibly be strong enough to threaten Southern Pack, so there’s only one option left.
“His daughter, the real Carolyn, might be hovering on the edge of death.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI was still an amateur regarding recognizing schemes and couldn’t compare to any old foxes here. If no one had explained it to me, I wouldn’t have been able to notice anything.
“The southern Duke did not surrender to the witches. He is on our side.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown anything unusual today.
“You’ve improved,” my father praised me.
Although the southern Duke’s position was clear, it was not an effective help given his current situation of being surrounded by wolves.
“We have to think of a way to rescue Lennon. At least, he can speak as he wishes and not be constantly monitored by Carolyn.” The elders said tiredly, “But we can’t be sure if the witch has completely replaced Carolyn or just possessed her body. We can’t start with her.”
Aldrich suggested, “Maybe we can ask for outside help? There are also some wizards and witches who are friendly or neutral to us.”
My father shook his head. “No, you can’t know a person’s true nature. We can’t guarantee the confidentiality of our transactions with outsiders.”
“Some werewolves in the pack who are proficient in sorcery, right?” Aldrich continued, “There are a few officers in the army that I know. I can guarantee their complete loyalty.”
My father still shook his head. “That’s too risky. The identity of an officer isn’t completely confidential. If a little magic fluctuation is revealed, Carolyn could bewitch the secret bureau’s personnel and follow the fluctuation to find him.”
Now that things had come to a standstill, where could we find a sorcerer whose identity was unknown?
Wait a minute.
Was there... Such a person around me?
Dorothy!
How could I have forgotten about her?
However, Dorothy’s identity was a complete secret, so I could only suggest this candidate to my father after sending Duke Frank and Aldrich away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Dorothy?” My father was very surprised. It was obvious that he had not thought of her. “No, Selma. She’s still a child. This is very dangerous. We can’t put the innocent in danger.”
“But we don’t have any other choice, right?” I retorted, “Other than Dorothy, who else meets the requirements?
“Besides, how do you know she’s not willing to get involved? In my opinion, Dorothy is a very enthusiastic and adventurous person. It’s just that the people around her either overprotected her or suppressed her too much, so she couldn’t find an opportunity to realize her value.
“If she knew she could help but was rejected again, she would be sad!”
Perhaps it was because I was protecting my friend like a chirping angry chick; my father couldn’t help but laugh. He shook his head. “Even if Dorothy is willing, does she have the ability? The one controlling Carolyn is a very powerful witch. Dorothy has only awakened her bloodline recently. Does she have the power to fight back?”
“Don’t underestimate her!” I said. “Dorothy is not an ordinary witch. She can prophesy and is naturally gifted in sorcery. Moreover, she’s an outstanding learner. She might not be able to help the southern Duke with the spell, but she’ll be able to learn it quickly if someone teaches her!”
With my sincere recommendation, my father quickly surrendered and helplessly said, “Alright, little princess. Let’s first ask Dorothy’s opinion. You have to be neutral and not force her, okay?”
“What kind of person do you think I am?” I mumbled unhappily, “Dorothy is my friend. If she doesn’t want to, I will hide her even if you personally order her to do it!”
“So, I’m the bad guy now?” My father patted my head lovingly. “Go! Go and find your friend. Dorothy is a good child, I know.”
