Melody felt waves of chill as she sat on the marble slab, and her heart was gradually turning cold as well.
She had originally been watching the green flames shooting into the sky by the sea and sighing with emotion.
Who could have expected the situation to change so drastically, leaving her responsible for the fire beneath the castle?
If murder meant a blood feud, then arson was an act of wiping out an entire family, with a level of hatred clearly even higher than murder.
And now, Melody was facing dozens of witches whose homes had been burned down, with possibly even more downstairs.
This alone would not have been too bad.
Although Melody feared death, as a witch, she naturally had her own pride.
But there were two people she feared more than death itself.
One of them was Witch Queen Morissa.
Witch Queen Morissa was the blonde woman.
Although she always wore a smile, the things she had done in the past had jolted Melody awake from nightmares countless times.
"You've grown quite capable, bringing outsiders to burn down Westport."
A cold female voice rang out.
Melody focused her eyes and saw a short-haired girl dressed in black.
The girl's ears were covered in piercings, and her aura was as cold as metal.
"You're... Kai?"
Melody stared at the girl in surprise.
In her memory, the other party was still a brat who followed her around every day like a little shadow.
"You should call her Lady Kai."
With a bang, a broad, sturdy witch kicked Melody in the abdomen.
Given Melody's small frame, one kick sent her flying.
"Show some respect, White Witch."
Just as Melody was kicked away, another witch grabbed her by the hair and threw her back into the crowd.
Clang, clang, clang...
