Chapter 1379 - Jimilas Plans

Elbows on her desk, Jimila held her head frustratedly.

Why?

Why must everything go wrong in her reign?

Sure.

They may have a thousand men ready to be gutted and used for the grand sacrificial ceremony.

But in her eyes and that of many others, the traitor's daughter alone was worth more than 100,000 people combined!

The turnout for the upcoming festival was expected to be high because of the appearance of the traitor's daughter.

The traitor was a legend and, to many witches, their biggest enemy ever!

Even younger generations also studied the traitor in the various classes taught out. Though popular negatively, the traitor was still known to all witches.

So imagine many showing up and not seeing the star they were waiting for?T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

F***!

Though many wouldn't date to voice their opinions, the seeds of hatred and disappointment would end up getting planted in their minds.

And with a little push, her opposition would be able to take advantage of the matter.

Jimila's pupils danced maniacally.

'No! I have to keep this information hidden for the time being. Edna cannot know about this for now!'

For sure, the information had to go out to the council and the higher-ups.

Luckily, over 8 out of 12 council meters were all out and should be back in another week or so.

This was the perfect excuse for her to find things off.

She just needed more time to put things in motion and secretly ready a team that would move out almost immediately once a final verdict on the matter had been issued.

.

Heh...

Jimila massaged her chin thoughtfully.

She decided that 'with the seriousness of the matter,' she would only reveal the information once ALL higher-ups and council members returned.

So even if she had to wait for 3 or even 5 weeks before they all arrived, so what?

Mind you, the big festival is 6 weeks from now. So if they came just before the big day, what about it?

The matter was too critical and needed the votes and thoughts of everyone on what they should do.

That was her excuse, and she was sticking to it.

They could shower one with sweet words and keep one in a bubble of commentary boss, all to fulfill their greed and achieve their dastardly plans.

Looking at it, this traitor's daughter was just as foolish as her mother.

Because of a man, she killed off her fellow women as though gutting fish.

Jimila sneered in disdain, forgetting that they were the ones who initially attacked and threatened Lucy.

Not only that, but they also wanted to kidnap Kora, taking her back to the Fortress to hold as hostage.

So, where was their compassion towards fellow women then?

.

Jimila leaned into her chair, feeling that the council wouldn't take her decision of waiting for them to heart.

The matters written in the reports were all too severe for just a few of them to debate on.

They all had to be present to reach the final verdict because it was truly an eye-opener.

The key point was that this Lucy girl was a very intellectual being... (Probably a blessing from their goodness.)

According to Number 5, she had created wonders in Baymard, allowing her partner to take all the credit while she just sat in the background.

Looking at the ripped-off magazine pages showing many beautiful Baymardian sceneries, Jimila had to admit that this Lucy girl was a genius.

Apart from these 3 or 4 ripped magazine papers, there were still 2 pamphlets there.

Those delivering the message couldn't very well carry thick books while fleeing.

Thus, they only carried turn-off pages and other lighter papers.

Jimila looked at the many strange papers with trembling hands.

Just what sort of paper was this?

The quality was something she had never seen before.

It was nothing like their brown parchment paper!

The more she looked at the strange but beautiful images shown on the papers, the more determined she was in bringing Lucy in.

How can such a clever mind be buried behind a greedy man?

Yes!

If she brought in Lucy and extracted all this information from her, wouldn't her reign go down in history as the best of them all?

(*?*)

Jimila's eyes twinkled.

Before her reign was up, she would get Lucy here to make up for this matter, be it by hook or by crook!
