36 Falling

"It's been 40 years. It seems like thing have changed. I mean even some wanted to take stuff of others with hidden motives." She casually said.

Bethany felt heart spark and looked at Angelica directly. Her words were directed at her and she knew it.

Angelica wasn't just any person. But she would be a hundred times better then a slacking witch. That she was confident in.

If Angelica heard her thoughts she would have called her many names and cursed her the depths of the world. How can she be a slacking witch?

"Alas we should deal with more important things. Listen up everyone. I have done an investigation of what happened two years ago." She said catching everyone by surprise.

The hall broke out into whispers since only one major accident has happened 2 years ago and that was the invasion by other species.

"Princess the case was closed after finding out the Lady Cenna was the cause of the problem."

Bethany said with her sweet smile.

"Sorry, who are you? Actually never mind that. But indeed the case was closed but it didn't mean I have stopped investigating. For the years I was outside.." she said looking over at Bethany, "I know what was happening in and out of the witch forest."

Bethany stiffened and soon recovered. She did feel uneasy but she had long gotten rid of the evidence with some help. Maybe Angelica was bluffing.

Angelica knew this was a gamble. The only ever evidence she has was currently with Harry and her grandmother. She had order Harry to do an investigation no matter how hard it was. It's took some time but the results were okay for her to accept.

But first of all she was pissed off with this woman. Second even though she was powerful it still doesn't match up to her power at all. Third, she couldn't even hide away her distain for her. Isn't that enough for her to fight back?

"She's lying." Ivan said casually to Lance who was by his side.

Even Harry and Helix heard but couldn't do anything about it. Because it was true.

'Master...' Harry looked at her anxiously.

"I mean. Did it ever cross your mind that their may be now than one person? If it didn't then you must be stupid!!" She snickered.

Some people looked offended but couldn't rebut her words since it made them think back. They were a small but powerful group so many kingdoms wanted them gone but never had the courage to go against.

That why the tear in the barrier was shocking but when they into found other races invading and that the culprit was caught everyone put their guard down.

"Princess Silver. I agree with your statement as well. There may as well be more than one culprit in the invasion a two years ago." Said a person.

Angelica turned around to looked at the person and smiled. This person was none other than Grand Witch Gloria.

Seeing that a Grand Witch spoke others also started thinking that her idea was a great one. The more attention there was to it, the more stress it puts on for the guilty ones.

"Right! I have one more thing!" Angelica said bring the crowd to silence. She looked at around and smiled inwardly.

She decided it was the best time to use the evidence to capture the hidden snake. Just as she was about to speak her shoulder started throbbing and she almost lost her balance.

'Is the poison relapsing? But how?'

She wanted to speak but the sudden pain made her body feel worse and she grabbed her shoulder in pain.

'Wait.. I'm not done yet' she fell sideways and closed her eye to brace herself from the pain.

But it didn't come. Instead she felt like a warm body hold her right before she fell. She wanted to open her eyes but couldn't.

The sound of yelling and noisy sounds permitted through the hall.

"Princess!!!" Many people yelled in surprise.

"Lance, go grab that woman." Ivan hissed as he looked towards Bethany.

Bethany was shocked to see the a man catch Angelica. She was even more shock to find that her curse was canceled.

She glared at him but felt a sharp cut around her neck and looked down to see a dagger placed close to her.

She was widened her eyes in shock and turned to see the man glare at her before picking up Angelica and started walking towards the Queen.

Odette walked over towards Ivan and looked at the pale Angelica in his arms. She felt heart broken and yelled. She touched Angelica's face and looked at Ivan.

"I'll send you to her room." And with a snap of her fingers she moved the both of them into Angelica's room that was in the palace.

Ivan looked at the pale woman in his arms and sighed. He gently walked towards the bed and placed her down. He found a chair and placed it near her bed and watched her frown in pain.

But he could he do? Nothing because he does know he to make her feel better.

Harry and Helix soon arrived at her room and dash over to looked at the pale Angelica.

"What happened to her?" Ivan asked the wolves.

Harry stayed quite and didn't respond. He didn't trust the man enough to tell him.

Ivan saw the hesitation and then he remembered that he wasn't in his territory so how can he possibly make the demand? He sighed and just waited for Odette to come.

One of the women in the room felt her whole body almost explode. The second Angelica turned towards her he knew that the poison would relapse. He was just waiting for the moment to grab her, when another person showed.

He almost impulsively destroy the place if he didn't remember that Angelica was here.

'Damn it!! It looks like I need to wait a while longer before capturing her!!' Slowly he moved away and disappeared from the busy room unnoticed.
