Chapter 192 Come With Me

============================

The girl who was attacking him with the daggers stopped and blinked. There was a look of surprise on her face when she saw his expressions loosen and a sense of achievement filled his face.

He let his guards down once again as he took steps towards her. His face was telling that he was treating her like a lost child in the woods that made her feel amused and irritated at the same time.

“Kiddo! I am the heir of the first generation of witches. I have been here for two centuries when you were not even born. Do you think I could be afraid by seeing a baby witcher like you or do I need you home?

Your cajoling skills are pathetic! You need to show what you could do for others rather than babbling. I am here for some work and did not need any disturbance. It would be better that you leave before I finally decide to get rid of you.” a look of astonishment passed his eyes as his mouth turned agape.

He opened his mouth and then closed it again unsure of what he should say.

“Why are you casting an illusion spell here?” he asked not to let her feel that she had won. Though he was still having trouble in digesting that she was the heir of the first era of witches.

Wouldn’t she be his great grandmother then? But it was said that Rafael had killed all of them.

He had made sure none of them would survive as there was a folklore about how he had rampaged all of them.

Their kids who were living among humans or those who had married humans only survived.

The whole coven of the witches were burnt. Then how did she survive and what was she doing here? The way the room was arranged, it looked like she was living here for quite some time.

“And the water? Were you the one who filled the whole place with fire?” Since she could control the ice element, it was possible that she could control water too.

But just as he finished his questions, he felt embarrassed because she was looking at him as if he was a fool.

“Weren’t you going to escort Hazel to the festival? If you are going to spend so much time here, would she start looking for you and soon reach here?

Do you want her to know that you are a witcher trying to hide behind her so that you could kill her husband?

Or that you are using your powers all alone when you are fighting with those beasts or humans?

You have used a deceptive illusion to hide your identity and a very strong one at that so that you can betray the strong senses of that vampire?

If you want all that to happen, stay here and chat with me for all you want. But if you want to achieve your goal you better run from here and do not interfere in my matters.” her words and tone were telling him that it was not an empty threat but she could make his life a living hell anytime she wanted.

But what shocked him more was.. She knew everything about him? Was this the great power of the first era of witches? Could she read his mind? Or was she following him all along?

But no matter what the reason was.. He could not let her control him. He still did not know what she was hiding so even if she was his great grandmother, he was not going to bow in front of her.

“Suit yourself. My illusions only work for me. So no one would be able to notice my presence. But you would be seen instantly.” with that she started whispering spells again and the room started to change.

The empty walls are filled with paintings. The bed got cleaned and the layer of dust and mud got cleaned.

She was cleaning the room using such strong magic? His eyes widened and he felt shocked once again.

Though they were witches, using magic takes a lot of energy. So they only perform magic when it is necessary and she was using magic for such menial tasks?

Before he could ask her anything or stop her. She nodded her head in satisfaction and dusted her hands.

Checking the softness of the bed, she laid on it and closed her eyes as if she was going to sleep after the hard work of a long day.

She had just ignored his presence?

He entered and started checking the room but there was nothing odd about it. It was a simply decorated room with simple decoration and food on the side table.

It did not look like she was doing anything special but then why was she here?

“She is here!” she whimpered as he heard footsteps coming closer and his head snapped back towards the door.

He ran out of the room as he did not want to be associated with a witch for now. His appearance changed as soon as he walked out of the room and met Hazel halfway through who was looking at him with confusion.

“What are you doing here?” she asked with a frown on her face as she tried to look behind him.

His face was covered with sweat and it looked like he had run a marathon to reach there. That must mean that he was trying to hide something behind him.

“I was waiting for you when I noticed that two knights were guarding this place. So I wanted to take a look at it.

I apologize if I worried you. I came running as soon as I heard footsteps. Have you been looking for me for a long time?” there was nothing behind him. She did not know if he had hidden something in the room but he was looking a bit strange.

“How did the two knights let you enter?”
