Chapter 108



108 After The Storm

Selma Payne’s POV:

After sending the unconscious Dorothy to the ambulance, I returned to the flower terrace.

The insufferably arrogant witch was now tied up like a deer waiting to be slaughtered. The rope used to tie her up was not an ordinary rope. It was covered with a special confinement spell, a product of a legendary witch in the past, to ensure that the prisoner could not escape even if he had wings.

At this moment, she finally revealed a trace of panic.

“Don’t even think that you can catch me so easily.” She was bluffing.

I was not in a mood to listen to her nonsense, so I put my hand over her mouth and disdainfully said, “Save it, witch. If you have the energy to do useless things, why don’t you think about how to get through the next interrogation?!”

After saying that, I ignored her struggles and waved my hand, ordering the warrior and the werewolf grandmasters to push her onto the prison cart.

Although the operation had ended successfully, the ceremony was utterly ruined. The ground was full of plant remains and building debris, not to mention a light cocoon floating in the air.

Without the witch’s catalysis, this thing could not hatch again, so there was nothing to be afraid of. The only problem was that it would take some effort to disperse the power contained in it slowly. Once it was broken by force, it would immediately turn into a bomb and raze the entire campus.

“Perhaps it would be better just to demolish the campus and rebuild it.” Looking at the broken walls, I mumbled helplessly, “This is great. Forget about the graduation ceremony, I might not even be able to start school on time for the next semester.”

Needless to say, the government must pay the cost of repairing the school. However, scraping off the dangerous buildings everywhere was not easy. There might be many buildings that need to be demolished and rebuilt.

The soldiers were protecting the students who had yet to recover from the shock in the safe zone. The military had already informed their parents on behalf of the school to come and pick them up.

I bet this was their life’s most unforgettable graduation ceremony, especially today’s main characters, those graduates. After all, no one would have thought that on their graduation day, they would be able to witness a battle between werewolf grandmasters and a sorcerer in addition to taking beautiful selfies with their classmates.

I saw Mara and Avril snuggling up to each other with a blanket over their bodies, and Perrin was protecting them.

“Selma!”

When they saw me, they quickly ran over.

Mara nervously asked, “How are you? Are you hurt? God, I can’t believe you stayed in the chaos. Do you know how dangerous that was?”

On the other hand, Avril asked thoughtfully, “Or did you know what you’re going to be distracted about today? I mean, those warriors and the werewolf grandmasters seemed very obedient to you.”

This was a secret, and I couldn’t reveal too much to them. I only said that the people present were willing to listen to my command because of my noble identity.

Fortunately, they did not continue to interrogate.

“Where’s Dorothy?” They asked, “She stayed behind too. Moon Goddess, you guys must be hiding something from us!”

“Dorothy is injured.” I explained, “She’s been sent to the hospital. Girls, don’t be worried. I guarantee that she’ll be fine.”

Mara looked at me worriedly and said, “Okay, we won’t ask. But you must know that Avril and I are worried about you and Dorothy. We are friends. If you have any problems, we are always willing to help. Okay?”

“It’s really fine.” Her honesty touched me, but I still couldn’t say anything. “Okay, I have to go deal with some things. You can wait for your parents to come.”

I turned to Perrin, “Please take care of them, Mr. Gentleman.”

Perrin rubbed his nose shyly for my teasing and promised, “Don’t worry, my lady.”

The army maintained the order of the safe zone. Since I was not needed here, I immediately returned to the palace.

As soon as I entered, my mother embraced me tightly.

“Oh, Selma, thank God you’re alright! You have no idea how worried I was, Moon Goddess! Thank you for your protection!” she sobbed.

I patted my mother’s back to comfort her, indicating I was fine.

However, my mother still saw the unhealed wound hidden under the cloak of my school uniform. She covered her mouth and cried out, “Heavens!”

My father, who came later, hugged my mother tightly and comforted her, “Don’t be sad, my dear. Wounds are proof of courage. It means our daughter has grown into a brave and powerful warrior, right?”

My mother buried herself in my father’s arms and sobbed uncontrollably. “Of course, I understand, but… Oh my goodness!”

My father consoled my mother and winked at me helplessly.

Kara stood up and softly said, “Your Majesties, Tracy is ready. Would you like to let her Highness receive treatment first?”

My mother immediately stopped crying and hurriedly pushed me to the medical room for examination.
