She sat once again with Travis facing her and she study his eyes once again before writing something down in the paper.
She currently had a bunch of herbs and potions all around them as she focused intently on his eyes that seemed to be better. She had these herbs out for testing.
"Take off your shirt." She commanded as she moved to grab another potion and put it on the left.
Travis did as he was told pulled off his shirt and displayed the toned abs and strong physique. But the only thing that ruined it was the cures marked the started to spread from his arms close to his neck.
"Pull our your hand. I need to take a sample." Travis obediently pulled out his hand. She took the knife and made a star cut and use her magic to move the blood into the vial.
"You and Felix have the same curse marks. But there a little difference. You should thank that half witch blood of yours." She said smiling not minding that the kid in front of her was scowling.
"When did you figure it out?"
"What a dumb question? I'm the Witch Princess of royal blood. There's nothing my eyes can't find. But if you really want to know..." she smiled and then tapped on his iron bracelet. "Thats the answer."
Travis brows furrowed and became confused by her words. This iron bracelet was from his father and after he had died, it ended up with him. But he didn't understand what it had to do with it.
"Young lad, that small thing is precious. It was made by my mother. You'll see once you get your eyes back. But if I'm not wrong then your mother might be-"
"Don't. I don't want to know about my mother." He hissed.
"Oh don't worry. She's dead." She causally said.
"..." Travis became speechless and felt that his anger started to form a bit towards Angelica.
"She's a traitor. Conducted illegal experiments on humans. Especially on your race. Who knows... maybe you and your father-" she looked down on him and said, "were just thrown away at the end-"
"I SAID SHUT UP!!!" He yelled and grabbed Angelica by the collar.
"What do you know?! What exactly do you know about us?! Your nothing but a witch just like her!!!"
"That's why I killed her." Her gaze became sharp remembering the incident.
Travis gripped even stronger. He wasn't getting it at all.
"She was a royal." Angelica continued not minding her situation. "But an incomplete one. If anything she would be considered my aunt."
"Otherwise why do you think I'm risking my life to save a halfling like you? Why? It's because my students are involved and also my unfinished business. And also my orders to the man that you serve." She grabbed his hands and slowly pried then away from her neck.
"Other than that I wouldn't have helped you. Even if you were a royal blood descendent. Even half descendent. But at the end of the day your still just a child. I should just spare you." She walked towards the table and threw his shirt on his face.
'He shouldn't be involved with the witch world anyway.' She thought.
"I never touch children of man. Even to harm them. It's a curse of a woman of you hurt their child." She started gathering the potion and herbs. Leaving out the list she needed to look over.
"I don't understand you?! One second your saying you would kill me the other you say you won't!? Which is it?!" Travis felt frustrated facing this witch.
"Hmm? Let just say that your more loyal than any person I ever met. Your aura doesn't lie. And spirits stick to you like honey. I think you've been blessed since you were born." Packing away the last bits she said one last thing.
"Unlike me, you've been welcome to this world with a proud identity. I'm really happy that you found such a great man to serve. Travis... is telling you this a witch. Stay away from the south and hid your witch blood." Her eyes became heavy and serious.
Travis was lost in confusion and heard the door close as he was left to be by himself in the medical room.

Playing with the vial of blood, she sighed to herself. She had no idea why she started lecturing that brat but something in her heart tells her that she should pay special attention to him.
Maybe it's because we're related?
Her face crumpled up thinking about it. No, no, no! She's not a that desperate at all!
"But I wasn't lying about the blood.. if the organization in the south heard about royal witch blood mixed with half-barbarian blood. They would probably kidnapped him and force Travis to do experiments."
Remind her of the time she destroy the building through her anger.
"What a disgusting feeling."
"What is disgusting Princess?" A voice in front of her said.
Angelica jumped back from reflex and saw the man in front of her. Sighing to herself she told the man once again, "Duke you have to stop doing that. Do you think it's amusing to scare a person over and over again?"
Ivan grinned and it made her brows furrowed. Just what exactly does this man want.
"It's amusing."
'WHAT?' She felt her mouth twitch form his reply and 'hmph' at him. She walked right past him and ignored his words.
But little did she know.
