74 Chapter 74: Blind Sunny
All the teachers of the academy had started leaving the palace, and the teleporters have been made ready for the safe return of everyone. But the mood was damp and everyone seems to be silent. They couldn’t believe the king finally accepted Sophia’s proposal. Someone who had not been in their land for a couple of years.
“This is a really bad idea.”
“What exactly is the king thinking.”
Some of the teachers started discussing within themselves.
Pretta, who was still worried about her daughter, immediately came out of the palace and started walking toward Sophia.
“You witch, where is my daughter!” Pretta shouted as she clasped Sophia’s hand and slapped her on the face.
“Pretta!” The headmaster called out.

Sophia glanced at Pretta angrily and grinned wickedly at her.
.....
“Your daughter is behind you idiot!” She swore. “If not for her, I would have ripped your heart off your chest. Be thankful I didn’t do that, you crazy mother.”
“Mother?”
As Pretta heard her daughter call her name, she immediately let go of Sophia’s dress and turned to see who was standing behind her.
It was her poor daughter, Sunny, who has been blind from birth. But even though she was blind, she could see things more than anyone could.
“Sunny my daughter, are you hurt anywhere.” Pretta attempted to hug her daughter but sunny ultimately pushed her away.
“Get away from me, I don’t want to see you,” Sunny said as she turned her back to her mother.
“You all think of me as a bad person, didn’t you?” Sophia said. “But you were all blind when Pretta’s cousin came to visit her. Her cousin is a vampire and you all know this. Yet you allowed him to enter the light city, the sparkle city that forbids we dark creatures and other creatures, including Ogres and dwarfs from entering.”
Everyone went silent as they listened to what Sophia was saying.
The king had come out of his throne room after hearing that the two former deans were about to engage in a fight again. But surprisingly, he saw pretta kneeling on the ground with her daughter turning her back at her. While he saw Sophia talking.
Evelyn, the queen had also stood beside the king to listen to what the discussion is all about.
“This little girl told me that her mother was drunk and had mistakenly spilled the location of where the bloodstone was kept to the vampire cousin that came to visit them. I know this was a mistake because she was drunk but she shouldn’t have allowed the cousin to come into the house in the first place.”
“Do you know that this girl has a talent for seeing what was to happen in the future just like my daughter? That night sunny saw a vision and she embarked on a journey the next day to tell me what she saw. She had to journey for three days into the forest to see me. She said she doesn’t trust her mother anymore and had come to meet me.
She explained that the dark creatures are the solution to the problem that was to come. That was why you saw us here, unexpectedly. It’s not in my plan to tell anyone about this but I had to because we’re in great danger at the moment.” Sophia explained.
“If I may ask Sophia, what is this danger about?” Adam, the schoolmaster asked.
“There.” Sunny pointed her hands towards the sky. She could see it, even with her blind eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA blackish-red cloud had formed in the sky but it was located around the academy which was far from where the palace was.
“Is that not near the academy?” One of the teachers asked.
“No, no no no, the bloodstone has been stolen,” Adam shouted. “Those that stole the bloodstone cast a spell on the whole of the academy before leaving. It may be the fear spell or anger spell or greed spell. The spell will cause death and destruction if we don’t stop it.”
One of the soldiers of the academy had used the teleporter to appear in the palace. He went towards Adam and saluted.
“Sir, the bloodstone has been stolen and the soldiers guarding it have been killed by strange men who we suspected to be the kidnappers that have been kidnapping our students.” The soldier reported. “All the students have started fighting each other for no reason.”
“Then it means the anger spell was cast. We need to stop the students by calming them down. All master wizards and witches should follow me, we need to form a mass calming spell on every corner of the academy to drive the spell away.” Adam ordered before turning to face Pretta.
“We’ll deal with you later,” Adam told pretta and then head into the teleporter with the master wizards and witches. Since it was a battle against spells, only those who learned spells were told to come. The rest of the teachers left were mages who learned pure magic.
“Did you see yourself now Pretta,” Sophia said before going through the portal. “You used your stubbornness to cause a problem for everyone. Now every magical creature is not safe because of the mistake you made. I need you to think of a solution to retrieve back the bloodstone.”
As Sophia ended her speech, she immediately went through the portal.
“Sunny, I’m sorry. I should have listened to you but as you said, you have seen what was to happen. That the vampires stole the bloodstone was meant to happen. There’s nothing I could do since it has been destined to happen that way.” Pretta said.
“But it can still be changed. The future can be changed if we try.” Sunny said. “You did not try even after I told you what was to come. Do you know what I’m going to face if this future doesn’t change? You may not see me again mother. My only hope right now is the Triling.”
‘Only if the Triling marries me can I escape this terrible fate of mine.’ Sunny thought. ‘I need to search for him.’
