A New Witch Showed up

The next day, Roland woke up as usual in the morning. Just as he finished dressing himself, Barov rushed into his room with a serious look. "Your Highness, i've just received a report from our patrol guards that they have discovered a abandon camp in the western forest. We suspect that it's a camp left behind by witches as they did not clean up their traces and left in a hurry. One of the guard found this coin in the camp." Barov took out a coin from his pocket and passed it to Roland.

"A coin?" Roland asked while inspecting the coin.

"What is this pattern on the coin? Do you know anything about it?" Roland asked after seeing the weird pattern on the coin.

"The pattern on the coin is the emblem of the Witch association. They are a group of witches that are looking for the Holy Mountain. They believed that the Holy Mountain is the Saint land for witches and they will be able to live in peace." Barov replied.

"So you are thinking that those witches are coming for Anna?" Roland asked.

"Yes. Your Highness, they are even crazy enough to steal babies, they will definitely try to save a witch companion." Barov exclaimed.

"Well, i'm looking forward to seeing those witches if they are really coming to my town" Roland was looking forward to meeting more witches and recruiting them to aid him in building a powerful empire. "Oh yes, we still have to deal with Anna current situation. First, find a substitution from the death row criminal to replace Anna and execute the "Witch" in the public. We can't afford to go against the church in the open right now. At the same time, gather all the records for the past trades, taxes and expenditures for me." Roland said.

In the mean time, Anna was still cultivating according to the book in her room. The temperature of the room are raising constantly without a sign of stopping. She could felt that she is gaining control over her power and as she was cultivating, her power was increasing at an alarming rate.

Three days later, in the office room. Roland was currently going through all the records that Barov have gathered for him. While Roland was going through all those reports, suddenly he felt that there was something cold touching his neck. He could felt a tingling pain as the cold object made a small cut on his neck when he was startled by the coldness of the object.

When he looked down, he could see a small blade being held against his neck yet he could not see anyone around him.

"To think that the lord of this town is a prince of Kingdom of Graycastle." Roland could hear a female voice beside his ear. At that instant, a female appeared out of thin air behind him.

"Your Highness, Please do not make any sound. I do not wish to harm you, i came here to have a talk with you"

"Who are you?" Roland slowly turned around under the threat of a blade on his neck.

Roland could see a person standing in front of him now, she was hidden under a robe with a hood hiding her face, Roland could not see her face clearly.

"I have left my past, my name behind, i have no name now but everyone call me Nightingale in the witch association" She pulled down her hood, showing her golden wavy hair with her beautiful looks.
