~Hillsraine Grove~

Three days later.

Leera was having a conversation on the terrace with Dolores, her most trusted aide.

"Now that I sent the girls to get married and live a normal lives with their husbands, I would like to ask what is your plan with your life?" she asked.

Dolores pondered the question for a moment. Then she finally spoke in a serious tone, "I wish to remain in this mansion and serve you, Priestess."

"Thank you for your devotion, Dolores, but it's a big world out there. You can travel the world and find a good husband that will stay with you for the rest of your lives. Money is no longer a problem for us since we have many gold bars at our disposal. Find a good husband, bring him here and you can raise a family with him…" she suggested.

Dolores scratches her head, she has no idea how to do it since she has no plan to get married and have children. "I don't know what to do… I'm confused…"

Leera smiled and said, "It's okay, bring the others here, I'll have some announcement to all of you…"

"Aye, Priestess!" Dolores replied and stood up, she went inside the mansion to find the others.

Leera stared at the sea of clouds in the sky, blocking the glare of the sun. She's feeling good after getting rid of the bitches in her life. Now, she was about to plan the life of her most trusted and devoted followers, there are only six of them who bravely served her to the end.

She must reward them for their loyalty.

A few minutes later.

Dolores and the five women arrived on the terrace.

Leera looked at the women. "Have a seat, ladies!" she said.

The women took their seats.

"Listen girls… we have this meeting because I want to ask what are your plans for your future?" she asked them.

The women looked at each other in confusion.

"Do you want to find a husband? Tell me… I can help you find a husband for yourselves," Leera offered.

The women's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Priestess, how can we find a husband?" one of the women asked curiously.

"We will visit the town and you can inform me if you already chosen a husband for yourselves, we will kidnap them and bring them here and then erased their memories so that they can no longer find their way home. They will stay by your side forever and raised a family with you. Don't worry this mansion is big enough to house all your husbands. And if you want - we can construct a separate houses for each of you when the time come that you already have lots of children so that you can have privacy. I'm open for suggestion, girls. Bring them on!" Leera encourages them.

The women were silent for a moment, pondering about the Priestess' suggestion.

"I want to have my own husband who will never leave my side!" one of the women spoke excitedly.

"Me too!" the other girls said in unison except for Dolores.

Leera smiled. "Alright, beginning tomorrow… I'll bring one of you to the town so that you can pick a husband there. So many men to choose from that area alone," she explained.

The expressions on the women's faces were filled with excitement.

"Alright, who is the first person to go with me to pick up her husband from the town?" Leera asked.

"Me!" one of the ladies replied enthusiastically.

Leera nods her head. "Alright, since you are the first to answer and raise your hand, you will go to town with me tomorrow afternoon," she said.

"Thank you, Priestess!" the woman said merrily.

"Don't mention it," Leera replied. "As for the others, get yourself ready. Once Odette finally brings her husband here... one of you is the next in line to go to the town with me," she stated.

"Thank you, Priestess!" the women said gratefully.

"Don't worry, girls, I'll give you gold bars as rewards for your loyalty tonight," Leera said.

"Thank you, Priestess!" the ladies giggled delightfully.

Leera stood up and said, "Alright, meeting is adjourned, girls. I want to rest in my room."

"Thank you, Priestess!" the women said in chorus and left the terrace.

Leera went inside her room to take a rest in her bed.

While lying in her bed, she was thinking of Rhett. She already went to town a few days ago and ordered a cage from the metal manufacturing shop. The cage will be finished this coming Sunday. She already had a plan in mind on how things will play out after she bring the cage here.

Smiling in satisfaction, she shut her eyes to rest before the evening arrives.

…

~White Coven Castle~

In the basement.

Olga and Azere were facing each other.

"I have a feeling that we will have a visitor today!" Azere declared optimistically.

"Me too!" Olga seconded.

Then Azere released a deep sigh. "We've been stuck here for a long time already and our investigation regarding our missing mentor is not progressing yet," she lamented miserably.

"There'll be no real progress because we're imprisoned here and we have no idea when can we get out from here. Worst, we will be left alone to rot here and never to see the outside world ever again," Olga spoke gloomily.

Azere stood up and began pacing back and forth on the floor, thinking hard for a solution to their difficult situation.

She needs to find a solution, ASAP!

They came here to investigate but nothing comes up, instead, they were thrown into this room as prisoners.

She looked at Olga. "Since we can't investigate about Mother's whereabouts we might as well leave this place and return home," she suggested. "I have a plan! We must do it as soon as possible!" she said urgently.

Olga looked at her friend for a moment, getting fired up. "What do you have in mind? Tell me quick!" she asked excitedly.

Azere went to Olga's bed and whispered her plan in a low voice. She can't say it aloud fearing that their voices can be heard by anyone spying on them.

After a few minutes of discussion in a low voice, Olga's face erupted in a megawatt smile.

They looked at each other, grinning like a banshee.

Done talking to each other, Azere returned to her bed and lie down, feeling much better compared to earlier.

They got a plan! It's a desperate plan but a brilliant one nonetheless!

One hour later.

The women's prayers were heard finally.

They heard the sound of the opening and saw the two handcuffs, signaling that they have a visitor!

They scrambled out of their bed and rushed to the opening.

"You got visitors!" a familiar voice said.

After the handcuff was put securely around their hands, the door finally opened.

The guard was waiting for them in the doorway. "Come with me, ladies!" he ordered.

"Okay," Azere and Olga replied cheerfully in chorus and followed the guard.

After a few minutes of walking, they finally reached the waiting area. And they're right with their assumption, it's indeed Hilda and Maera waiting for them.

The guard retreated to the door after settling the grannies into their seats.

Maera looked at the prisoners. "How are you, ladies?" she asked.

Sighing, Azere looked at the woman wearily. "We're bored to death in our room. When are you going to set us free?" she asked in a low voice.

Maera studied the granny's face for a few minutes, she's looking tired. "Well… if you can bring me to the whereabouts of the medallion - then I'll set you free anytime. No need to tell me where your mentor is hiding right now. The important thing for me is the medallion. Once I got the medallion, you and your friend are free to go. I'll never bother you again," she assured her.

Olga raised a brow. "Are you sure? That you won't bother us ever again?" she asked, doubting the woman's words.

Maera sighed. "I know you will doubt my words, but you have to understand that we're not enemies in the first place. What will I gain if I keep you here in this place forever? What will I gain if I will go after you once I already have the medallion in my hands? It doesn't make sense, right? All I wanted is the medallion, once I got it, you will hear nothing from me ever again," she reassured them.

Olga and Azere looked at each other, their eyes communicating secretly.

Maera and Hilda studied the prisoners' faces.

Azere looked at Maera. "Alright, I'll bring you to the location of the medallion!" she finally said.

Maera's eyes widened in anticipation. "Where is the location of the medallion? Quick, tell me!" she asked enthusiastically.

"I have to bring you to the area which is located in the secret place in our mentor's house. I am the only one who knows its hiding place, and only me can take the medallion away from that place," Azere revealed.

Hilda raised a brow. "Are you sure about that? Or are you just trying to fool us?" she asked suspiciously.

Azere sighed heavily. "I'm telling you the truth!" she insisted in a serious voice.

"Okay fine, I won't doubt your claim. If you're telling the truth then I'm going to believe you, but on one condition…" Maera said, smirking.

Azere eyed the woman closely, she doesn't trust the smirk on Maera's lips. "What condition?"

"You and I will go to your mentor's place but you have to leave your companion here. Once I'll have the medallion in my hands, I'll set your friend free! That's my promise to you!" Maera said.

Dang!

Azere bit her lip in frustration, she didn't expect that her plan will backfire so fast! She looked at Olga, they stared at each other's eyes for a long time. Then she looked at Maera. "I won't bring you to the location of the medallion alone! My friend has to be there, we can't be separated! She will go with me wherever I go!" she insisted.

Maera smiled. "Dear, you are not the one who calls the shots here! The ball is in my court! It's either you will agree to my condition or not. It's up to you! I'll give you a few days to think things over…" she said and stood up, then left the room, followed by Hilda.

Feeling helpless, Azere and Olga watched the two women leave the room without giving them a last look.

"Alright, grannies, go back to your room!" the guard said.

Azere and Olga rose to their feet and followed the guard outside.

They walked in the hallway, going back to their room.

While walking... the women were enveloped in silence, thinking of different things and scenarios in their minds.

They have a difficult decision to make.
