Chapter 78

The goblet was in her hand when she opened her eyes. The scent of blood filled her nostrils. Alanna threw it away.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, girl?" Morana screamed, surprised and going to get the object from the floor.

Alanna looked around, taking a few seconds to understand what was going on. Was she back at the castle? That meant she...was still human! Taking advantage of the witch's having her back to her, Alanna, who was previously on her knees, got up and ran to the door. She opened it and ran out.

She wasn't quite sure what she was supposed to do.

'Perhaps if you find Aillard, the spell will be broken,' she thought and went in search of him. The guards halfway stopped her.

"I need to speak to Aillard, urgently!" she yelled impatiently.

"Forgive me, my lady. We were given further instructions by Lord Aillard." The man who answered her was the same one with the sky-and-sea blue eyes.
