Chapter 13-Her Decision

The guards were catching their breaths when I stopped running in front of a cherry blossom tree and looked at them. "I said my body would heal itself, didn't I?" I used a serious voice when I addressed everyone. Typhon, who was in front of me, narrowed his gaze. He went in my direction after sighing, looking away. He ruffled my hair by giving it a firm pat. He feels angry, as I can tell.

In a solemn voice, Typhon stated, "I believed you were dead. Your heart stopped beating for four days."

I gave them a quick glance while arching my brows. Is that the cause of their surprise? They are not to blame for being surprised. I apologized and bowed before them. "Don't worry about waking up inside the coffin. I'm sorry I made you worried. "

The royal family could be seen running in my way in the meantime. They are crying so hard whilst they recount the time I emerged from my deathbed. Rowan, my big brother, gave me a bear hug.

"I expressed my regret for being a careless brother. I failed to keep you safe," with regret throughout his voice, Big Brother Rowan said.

For the first time, my frozen heart felt warmed. My hatred was soon purged from my heart, and my tears poured. I reasoned that holding a grudge against them for abandoning me in Glaustein would be beneficial. I was wrong. I'm just a fool who won't listen to their arguments, valid or not, because I'm not smart enough to understand them. I asked the questions that had been gnawing at me for a very long time as I stared at them. I took a deep breath before I spoke.

"Why did you leave me all alone in Glaustein? Why do I need to suffer for all those years?"

They gave me anxious looks. My mother, Queen Thessaleiah, bites her lower lip. She spoke with a trembling voice. "That's because we want to keep you from having to accept your fate as the goddess of truth priestess, you know."

Is that their reason? They were worried that I might not complete my tasks to the best of my ability. I glanced at them. They worried in vain.

I assured her, "There is no need for you to worry. I consented to be her priestess. You should not hinder my duties as her new priestess, right? You will only suffer the repercussions if you continue to meddle."

I doubted that decision. The Witches and the Holy Church are historical adversaries. When they learn that their intended priestess is a witch, I'm not sure how the Holy Church will react. I looked at my mother and spoke in a serious tone.

I stumbled through my words. "There's one thing you should know. I remember I couldn't be at the Holy Church. I'm a witch under the Falcon Order," I said, and then stopped. Their screams echoed and their faces turned problematic. Even now, Alethea enjoys giving people headaches. She lost sight of the rules and logic that govern our world if her careless behavior put me in the most difficult situations!

I guess Methusael was right. Alethea is a mad goddess who enjoys breaking the laws that the other gods have established. Because of my mother's decision, I had to choose between witches and god servants. I'll strangle Alethea's neck the next time I see her! But if I decide to become a priestess, the only thing people will say about me is that I've lost my morality after killing vampires. I'll take action. I closed my fist and followed my heart. I know that this choice will only result in turmoil.

I gave them a look. Starting off, this is all I desire. I wanted to free myself from the monarchy, which I had long detested. "I'm sorry, but I won't give up being a witch. I was born a witch, and I will die a witch! No one could stop it! "

Each person exhaled. I observed the Elemental witches applauding for me. I've never seen them concur with me until now. The woman next to her was not pleased by Typhon's response as he smiled at me. Big Brother Rowan's messing with Zain's hair caused him to scowl.

I, Epiphany Saberblade, will not yield to their ridicule as the Falcon Order Witch!

I was spellbound by the gardens' natural beauty after making my announcement. Sometimes I want to pack a picnic and come here. After Big Brother Rowan left Zain to celebrate with the other guests, I turned to look at him. He was sobbing in silence. I moved in his general direction and leaped on him. As I was laughing, Zain unexpectedly gave me a bear hug. Zain said in a trembling voice, "I thought I would never see you throwing tantrums against the hoodlums in the city again!"

I uttered, "I will never leave this world. Besides, you owe me a cup of tea. Next time, let's have a picnic here." Typhon scowled, and Zain nodded. Typhon looked away while he crossed his arms. What's the matter with him? My hair was messed up by Big Brother Rowan just as I was about to approach Typhon. Big Brother Rowan questioned me, "How did you make it through those fencer vines?"

I was annoyed when Big Brother Rowan interrupted and gave him a serious look in the eyes.

Big Brother Rowan asked when I told him, "Someone was trying to kill you. Do you have any idea who is the perpetrator of the crime?"

Big Brother Rowan replied, "I am aware of that, but I didn't anticipate them acting sooner than I had anticipated after receiving a letter last week threatening my life."

I whistle while holding my chin. When I behaved in an impolite manner, the royal retainer nearly passed out. I suddenly saw an owl land on my arms. I almost got hurt by its claw because I didn't realize I needed protection against it before it buried its claw in my skin.

I cast an enchanted message and sent it to the Eagle Order. The owl flew away, and the Royal Physician rushed towards me to heal my bleeding arm. The Eagle Order specializes in spying. That's why I am entrusting this issue to them. I hope I made the right decision.
