Chapter 176 Being a Witch in the Tongzhang World 12
Chapter 176 Being a Witch in the Tongzhang World 12
The beautiful girl who had appeared in the city suddenly appeared, and after a brief glance, no one saw her again.
The only time she appeared was in front of the visiting prince.
Everything was such a coincidence, combined with Ophelia's face in front of him and the malice that mother and son had towards him.
The truth is almost staring us in the face.
Not to mention, the guilty look on this stupid sister's face.
Eudora put the tea back on the table and said angrily, "Ophelia."
The little princess' heart trembled. In the past few months, because her face had changed and she needed to wear a veil, she had rarely interacted with Eudora.
My feeling after meeting her today is: this sister is inexplicably scary.
I always feel that everything about me is exposed in her eyes.
"Don't use that face and make that expression."
Ophelia was stunned: What?
She looked at Eudora blankly. Wasn't she going to hold me accountable for ruining her engagement with the prince?
After all, she had been the king and queen's only child and the most noble princess in the kingdom for a very, very long time.
Ophelia was not very happy either, realizing that she always seemed to be inferior to Eudora.
She quickly put on a stern face and said confidently, "Eudora, I admit that when I was out of town, I accidentally let the prince see my face."
"But that's because the prince likes me, who is more beautiful. It's not my fault. I didn't deliberately break up your engagement."
Because of the deal with the witch, she had already classified Eudora into her own camp in her mind.
She carefully observed her half-sister's face, then assessed the prince's face, and gave a fair comment: "You are the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Kabus, and you are so beautiful. That prince is not worthy of you."
If she hadn't wanted to change the subject, Eudora would have long forgotten about that prince.
Seeing this sister distorting right and wrong and making up stories, her lies and tone were clearly very clumsy, but because her face was so dazzling, no matter how ridiculous the words she said were, they would only make people feel that they made sense, not ridiculous.
This is not a good sign.
Eudora had no intention of paying attention to her, let alone controlling her.
At this moment, he changed his mind.
She couldn't bear it if Ophelia did anything stupid with that face.
It is truly blasphemy against that One.
She said calmly, "You are my sister. Of course I believe that you would never intentionally want to ruin my marriage and not want me to marry the prince."
So easy to cheat?
Ophelia felt relieved, and because of some kind of sympathy between fools, she felt closer to her sister.
The two sisters sat down and chatted for a while. It took Eudora almost no effort to tell Ophelia all the secrets she had from childhood to adulthood.
——Of course, apart from the fine clothes, delicious food, jewelry, misunderstandings, and occasional bullying, this empty-headed sister doesn't have any secrets at all.
Going to the Moonlight Forest and making a deal with the witch was the boldest and most outrageous thing she had ever done in her life.
When the little princess became impatient of sitting still and felt she had rested enough, she wanted to return to the party and enjoy everyone's attention.
In her heart, she already regarded Eudora as a very polite and considerate sister.
Eudora watched her drift toward the dance floor like a streak of moonlight.
Her original plan was to try to gain enough power to at least ensure that she could make all the decisions in her own affairs.
I just came back and found out that I almost had a fiancé. This feeling is really terrible.
And now, there was another goal: maybe she just needed to become a little richer if possible.
.
The missed Zhuyin was currently in a small village.
A trial is going on in the hamlet.
The person on trial was a witch.
Zhu Yin looked at the "witch".
She was just a teenage girl, wearing a coarse linen skirt that was washed white, and she had a clean scent all over her body, without any magic at all.
She just had long dark brown hair that was almost black.
She was tied up by the villagers, her eyes were red and swollen, she looked very embarrassed, and she frantically defended herself.
But no one listened to her.
The villagers looked fanatical and hateful. They blamed her for all accidents and incidents, even some trivial matters in daily life:
"Old John was eaten by a wolf in the woods last year!"
"The carpenter's youngest son was cursed and had his leg cut off!"
"Two of my lambs were lost for unknown reasons."
"In our village, the number of children born in the past two years has decreased."
"..."
They pronounced the verdict in unison, with resentful expressions:
"All this was caused by the ominous witch!"
"Burn her! Burn her!"
A priest stood in the middle of the crowd.
"I'm not a witch!" The girl's voice was hoarse, and she defended herself over and over again in vain.
The priest looked compassionate: "God will forgive every one of His believers. If you are really a witch, then God will give you a chance to prove yourself."
The fire was already built.
The priest, holding a lighted torch, kindled the fire.
He closed his eyes, muttered to himself, and after a long time, opened his eyes.
Someone handed him a silver pot.
There was some liquid in the silver pot, and the priest poured it into the fire. The burning flames immediately jumped up more than one meter high and burned violently.
There was a cheer from the crowd, and many people even knelt down on the spot and began to pray devoutly.
The priest looked at the devout villagers and nodded with satisfaction: "Now, lift her up and place her on the fire."
The blazing flames were scorching hot and the girl began to struggle violently.
The priest looked kind and said, "My child, this is your chance to prove your innocence."
"This is a holy fire blessed by God."
"If you are pure, the holy fire will never harm you."
"Only a witch would suffer in this pure and fierce flame and turn into ashes. All the sins and curses she carries will disappear from now on."
“Turn to ashes!”
“Turn to ashes!”
The villagers shouted fanatically again. They stared at the girl like hungry wolves, expecting her to be thrown into the fire and all her sins to be burned.
Wearing gloves, they lifted her bound body and threw it into the flames as if it were trash.
The scorching heat engulfed her, and the girl subconsciously closed her eyes. The tears that were rolling down her face were swallowed up by the high temperature while still in mid-air.
The imagined pain did not come.
She opened her eyes blankly and found herself still lying in the flames, but an invisible protective shield enveloped her, and the raging fire could not hurt her at all.
Her brown eyes met the horrified gazes of the priests and villagers.
