The Medallion

In the hall of the Witch Palace in Holy Dragon Empire's Palace City, a conversation was unfolding.

"Excuse me? Can you repeat that please? I think I misheard you." Lena's eyes were wide with disbelief after the shocking news she just received. Her face was thin and pallid, which showed that she had not slept well for days. In front of her was a woman clothed in white.

"Just as Your Royal Highness heard, Prince Basil is still alive. General Marcia sent me here to invite you to her mansion. Prince Basil is waiting for you there," the woman in white said respectfully.

"Basil is waiting for me? What does he look like now? Is he really still alive? Oh, please don't play such a cruel joke on me!" Lena's body trembled weakly, and she could not utter another word. Part of her wanted to believe the news desperately, but how could she? It was impossible! This kind of thing only happened in her dreams. However, she also knew that Marcia wouldn't lie to her. It seemed that her dreams had finally come true today, but it was taking her too long to believe it.

"Your Royal Highness, please hurry up. We don't have much time. If you will it, I can bring you to Prince Basil. But we need to leave the Palace City as soon as possible, before the acting emperor comes back," the woman in white urged.

"Okay, I'll go with you. Please wait for a moment. Randi, please go outside and keep watch for me. I need to go and grab something before leaving," Lena instructed.

Randi nodded at once and promptly walked out of the Witch Palace.

At the same time, Lena carefully turned around and closed the door behind her. Then she walked to a corner, hidden by a massive cabinet. She waved her hand, making a sweeping gesture over the empty wall. Immediately, the entire wall caved in, which revealed a passage for one person.

Lena hurriedly walked along the passage and soon got to a secret chamber filled with all kinds of ancient books.

She went straight to a stone table in the center of the chamber, where a thick book entitled 'The Witch's Book' was placed. Lena swept her hand over it and put the book into her Magic Spiritual Space. Then, without another glance at the other books, she turned around and left the chamber.

something unexpected just as she came back to the hall. The white-robed woman that Marcia had sent was lying in a pool of blood, while Randi who stood a couple of meters away was shaking slightly, and her face was white as a newly bleached sheet. There was another person in the hall, and he was standing right by the woman's dead body.

I'm afraid you may be able to leave the hall, but you don't have the strength to meet the man you always want to see. Please think about it. What will Prince Basil do if he learns that you are risking your life? He
