Chapter 1153 Circe Caves
“Alice, your accusations earlier are severe.”
Khesuna glared at her with a dark face.
“You are accusing Leader Circe of intervening and interfering in the affairs of your Fate Witches! Do you insist on this accusation, or are you willing to take back your words?”
Alice smiled tragically, her beautiful face filled with sorrow and sadness.
“What is there to avoid talking about? Are all my sisters here unable to see how the Dark Witches oppress us on a regular basis? Or is this the so-called unity in everyone’s mind? To shiver cowardly and remain silent? It doesn’t matter who wins in the conflict between Maysa and I. That is an internal matter of the Fate Witches. But ask yourself! All of you here! Who amongst you have not put me down, in public, or in the shadows?”
“Is this the so-called independence of the witch branches? The neutrality you all like to speak of?”
The witch leaders’ expressions didn’t change when they heard Alice’s sorrowful accusations, but none of them stood up in objection.
Greem lifted his head, a lamenting expression on his determined face.
“Alice, I can put a hand to my heart and say that the only two people I trust in the world are you and Mary. As long as the two of you don’t end up fighting each other, I will never be afraid of anything!”
“I was asking you about the Orb. What are you talking about all this for? Are you trying to warn me indirectly?” Alice’s cunning eyes darted around as if she didn’t understand what Greem was trying to say.
“Haha! Ever since I obtained the Orb of Shadows, I knew I couldn’t hold on to it for long. It is the origin magic equipment of the Dark Witches, after all. They would put their lives on the line just to get it back. That’s why I’m not at all surprised that this would happen. Moreover, with someone as smart and capable as you scheming for me, they will pay a hefty price to take it back.”
“You’re a smart one!” Alice was all smiles when she heard Greem praising her.
“That said, I can give up on anything else except for this one single thing. Circe must be able to provide us with something that can replenish your lifeforce. Otherwise, I will not hand over the Orb!” Greem grabbed Alice by the shoulder and turned her around. They stared into each other’s eyes, nose to nose.
“You…you…know about it all?” Alice stuttered.
“What is the Fate blessing you cast on me, exactly? Why would it devour over eighty percent of your lifeforce?” Greem pursued the issue.
“It’s not as much as you make it out to be,” Alice didn’t even dare look Greem in the eyes. “It’s…it’s only seventy percent!”
“Alice, I hope you understand. Our relationship is not one of mutual use. It’s a genuine relationship with genuine feelings. I am already used to having you and Mary by my side. You are my closest family and my lovers. I don’t want either of you to be in danger, do you hear me?”
The embarrassment on Alice’s face faded away when she heard Greem’s honest words. She looked into his eyes, her own gaze filled with love.
“I hear you, and I feel it! I won’t ever do something stupid like this again!” Alice quickly pecked Greem on the lips and whispered in his ears, “Don’t worry, some of the items I managed to win over from Circe’s collection can replenish lifeforce. In addition to the heir of the plane that you brought back with you, I have confidence in advancing to Fourth Grade very soon.”
“Really?” Greem’s eyes opened wide in joyous surprise.
“I want to reach Fourth Grade as soon as possible as well!” Alice leaned into Greem’s chest and sighed. “Fate Witches only get some offensive options once they reach Fourth Grade. Before that, we are just ‘useless beings’ that require protection. I am sick of those days. It’s about time to let everyone witness the might of the Fate Witches!”
Greem laughed heartily at Alice’s bold words. His lips pressed down once again.
