195. The past (2): War of the rulers

It's been three days since Lisa found Dian, and he has been in her care ever since. He didn't talk much, very mysterious, and only said he would repay her.

"So, what's a witch like you doing alone in the middle of nowhere?" Dian asked as he stood up from the bed and gazed at Lisa, who was now reading a book.

"I ran away from the coven to be on my own for a while," Lisa said, not removing her eyes from the page.

"But aren't witches stronger in groups? What if there's danger?" Dian had a sincerely worried expression on his face.

"They want me to be the coven leader against my will because I'm a direct descendant. I just want some alone time," Lisa said and closed the book she was reading.

"So, what about you? What's happened on your side?" she asked, and Dian looked sideways.
