meeting with the white witch.

It was moment of silence. King Leo looked the old woman but no words to say. Same way he looked at Kim. " Sooner or later, they will start plotting for your death" the old woman said sobbing. "Be very careful in whatever you do from now, their plans is best known to them" the old woman said pecking King Leo's forehead. They stayed a short while, then thanked the old lady and left.

"You have to take this witch's word seriously my Lord" Kim said to King Leo as they rode slowly through the routes of the small town.

Bruno and his men arrived the town few minutes later after they left. They got to the old lady's hut and surrounded it.

The old lady knew about their presence in her territory. Bruno ordered his men to get in and capture the lady.

The old lady said some incantations and used her power to disappear. Immediately, they broke in and the hut was empty. "She is not here my lord" one of the men said to Bruno who was standing outside. "Search the entire corners of the hut!" Bruno ordered.

They obeyed and did as he ordered. They searched everywhere, scattered her properties all over the interior of the hut and yet they saw no one. The men reported to Bruno. "How come she is not always here anytime we find her?" Bruno asked himself. He remembered the words of the kingmaker not to fail again. He insisted that they must wait, until their mission is carried out.

"Search the entire town!" Bruno ordered his men. They left for the searching as he sat at the hut entrance.

He heard sounds of things being moved around inside the hut. Fear gripped him. " They searched and couldn't find anyone, what could be making the sounds inside?" He kept questioning himself.

He grabbed his sword and entered, leaving the door wide open. "There's no one here" he said as he looked around. The gravity of the fear increased because he was alone too. All his men were far inside the town.

A rush wind entered the hut and immediately the door shut. Bruno turned Swiftly and saw no one. He felt a palm patting his shoulder and he turned around to see no one too. He ran towards the door to get out the hut, but it was firmly shut. He prayed as sweats run down his face and drop to the floor. He drew his sword and flung it within the space in the hut.

The old witch laughing filled the space and she warned him never to step foot into her hut again. The old witch spared his life and she ordered him to leave her territory with immediate effect. Bruno ran out and rode away immediately leaving his men behind. He never stopped neither did he looked back. He has never been so afraid in his life.

Hours later King Leo and Kim got back to the palace. They met the queen during her antenatal session. The both men sat in the palace court and discussed. Few moments later, queen Lily joined their company in the court. "You look troubled my Lord" she said . King Leo didn't want to bother his wife with all he learnt while with the old woman. "What that's is more important is how the baby and The mother are faring" corny king Leo said to the wife as he kissed her hand. "The baby's delivery date will be due anytime from today" the queen said screaming Joy. It was indeed a moment of happiness. " You will be placed on guards now more seriously than ever" King Leo said as he stood up. "Where's Bruno?" Asked king Leo.
