Witch

"G-aaaahhhhhh!!!"

All the soldiers who guarded the dungeon shivered when they heard the same screams that had rang in their ears for the past half an hour.

It seems like this prisoner is a tough nut to crack. The person who was torturing him must have tried every means to get the answer from the prisoner.

Anyway, the prisoner's nightmare had just begun.

If he persists until the end, no one will know the truth of the matter today.

"My lord."

"My lord."

When the two soldiers guarding the screaming prisoner's door saw Prince Ariel step out of the room, they immediately bowed respectfully.

Prince Ariel nodded at them before he left the dungeon. He had an indifferent look on his face, not caring about the stares he received because of his clothes, which were painted red with blood.

The two soldiers were still watching the back of Prince Ariel who was leaving when Rara and Assistant Bear appeared before them.

One with glee in her eyes, while the other had an anxious look on his face.

Seeing that the two soldiers were still in a trance of thought, Assistant Bear cleared his throat.

"My Lady, Assistant Bear, why are you here?" the soldier asked in surprise.

Are they here to question the prisoner?

"We want to ask the prisoner about a small matter," Assistant Bear said with a forced smile on his face.

The soldier nodded and asked again, "Do you have approval?"

"Aiya, big brother, it's just a small matter. It only takes a few minutes for him to answer. Furthermore, I'm the Chosen Lady. Who says I cannot help the military to investigate?"

Rara waved her hand and pushed the soldier aside, snatching the soldier's key and opening the dungeon door.

"My Lady-"

The soldiers were about to pull her back when Assistant Bear stopped them.

"If anything happened, just blame her." He whispered to the soldiers.

The soldiers were taken aback, their eyes widening in shock as they turned to Assistant Bear. "B-but... she's the Chosen Lady..."

Assistant Bear rolled his eyes, "I've warned her several times not to get involved. But, she insists on being stubborn until the end."

Assistant Bear said this, but a slight pang of guilt gnawed at him. After all, he was the one with the loose tongue.

Along the way to the dungeon, he tried several times to persuade Rara to forget the idea but she was as stubborn as a mule.

So, he just gave up and followed behind her quietly. After all, Rara hasn't fully recovered.

What if Prince Coi came up with a trick and injured her again?

If that happens, he could only pay with his head. However, would he want to lose his head now?

Of course not!

He was still young and hadn't yet found a girlfriend. It would be a tragedy if he died while still in good health.

Furthermore, he still hasn't been promoted to become Head Guard. If he died now, he would surely become an evil spirit with grievances in his heart because he hasn't fulfilled his dreams.

An ancient also said that; If he becomes an evil spirit, he won't be reincarnated in his next life. This fate is pure torture in his mind.

The soldiers hesitated for a second before nodding. However, he also gestured for a few brothers to come inside to protect Assistant Bear and Rara.

He wasn't as stupid as to leave them inside without protection.

Five of the soldiers came in and stood behind Assistant Bear and Rara.

"Prince Coi, is it? I have just one question for you. If you fail to give me the right answer, don't blame me—a mere ordinary person—for showing no mercy."

Rara crossed her arms as she studied Prince Coi. His look before he came to the dungeon was indeed attractive. However, all she could see on his beautiful face now is scars and blood.

His hair was disheveled, his clothes tattered, and beneath the shredded fabric, raw, torn flesh was visible.

He was almost unrecognizable.

Prince Coi looked at Rara with one of his good eyes and smirked, "Witch, how's your wound?"

The soldiers behind couldn't help but take a sharp intake of breath when they heard his words.

This guy is courting death.

How dare he call the Chosen Lady a witch?

Yes, she's a witch but you don't have to call her like she's a bad person, right?

Rara raised her eyebrows calmly, "Oh? I feel perfectly fine. But, I don't know. How about I show you instead? I'm bad with words, but I'm good with actions."

Assistant Bear saw Rara approaching the tied-up Prince Coi anxiously.

However, Rara only stopped two meters away before she lifted her right hand and pointed her sharp fingernails at him.

Buzzing light blue crackled from the tip of her fingertips before it shot out and hit Prince Coi's chest.

"G-aaaaahhhhh!!"

The soldiers shrunk back in fright when they saw Prince Coi's body tremble from being electrocuted.

Rara stopped for a second before she resumed and was rewarded with his scream.

She kept doing it again and again for ten minutes before finally stopping. By then, Prince Coi's body had turned black, his skin burned, and the air reeked of burnt flesh. Even his hair had straightened, with some strands becoming rough and burnt.

"How is it? I should be fine, right? Are you ready to answer my question now?"

Prince Coi panted heavily before letting out a mocking laugh. "The Haguar Kingdom—the so-called ruler of the world. Yet their Chosen Lady is nothing but worthless trash. A disgrace!"

With a smirk, he spat a mouthful of blood straight at her.

It landed on her long skirt.

"You-!"

Fury surged through Assistant Bear at the sound of those words. He stepped forward, ready to throw a punch, but Rara intervened, stopping him just in time.

"Aiya, Assistant Bear, you're too agitated. What did he call me again? Trash? An abomination? Excellent! Since you gave me this title, I should prove myself. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed. Prince Coi gave me such a good title. I should not let him down!"

The soldiers stood dumbfounded, uncertain how to respond.

Why is the Chosen Lady so calm? Prince Coi gave her a good title? What good title? Didn't he just insult you? He insulted you and you still want to prove yourself?

Has she lost her mind?
