The Eyes Of 'Rah

The Upper House II

Lord Witcharoft gaped as he recognised the witch being brought forward. When Nickolai called for a favour to help him try and see if he could read Richard's thought, he had been blocked at every attempt.

Usually when a witch perform a spell, there is always something being left behind, like a trademark or signature to identify the witch who made the spell. He had found it strange when nothing like that could be found, which meant it must had been done by quite a powerful witch, one who was strong enough to erase all traces.

How could he have forgotten so fast that Mimulke could be the one? He and her had a history, he had long forgotten about her until now. There was no way Nickolai would have been involved with a greedy witch like Mimulke, Lord Witcharoft recalled their unpleasant past.

The dark cloak covering Mimulke made it impossible for people to see her clearly, she smirked as she saw the surprised look on Harold Witcharoft when she lifted her head for him to see.

She heard the buzzing sound, including one which asked how they could know if she was actually a tainted witch. Letting go of her cloak, the room went dead in silence, seeing the contorted face.

Without batting an eyelash, Alpha Weinroff asked, "and who might you be?"

Richard answered in her stead, "she's Mimulke, the witch Aliona consulted"

Aliona reeled back on her seat, beyond surprised to see her face, "oh my goodness! This is her real face?" She was dumbfounded.

It was beyond clear that Mimulke was a tainted witch, the magnitude of deformity already showed how far gone she had been involved in dark magic.

Aliona looked at Josephine who had been studying her face ever since Mimulke walked in. Ali felt hurt that Josephine went to the extent of luring her, all because she wanted a title for her husband.

There was no hint of remorse on Josephine's face, rather, the satisfying smile painted on her face as she gazed at the devastating look on Ali.

Aliona regretted not listening to Nickolai and Vivian, she would blame herself for a long time if Nickolai lost his title because of her foolishness. Nickolai grabbed her hands to calm her, feeling how down and regretful she suddenly felt.

"Is it true you're the witch whom Lady Aliona sought a child?"

"Yes"

Apha Weinroff looked at Aliona who nodded her head to confirm, ashamed but she nodded anyway.

Feeling happy that Ali had confessed to knowing Mimulke, Lakefield spoke, "it is clear now that Lord and Lady Orsini are involved with a tainted witch, in that case, I think it's best to disqualify him"

Aliona quickly jumped to her feet in defence of her husband, "I didn't know she was a tainted witch, in fact, that was not how she looked when I saw her and Nickolai knew nothing about it"

Lord Witcharoft stood demanding silence from the members, facing Mimulke he asked, "was it true that she approached you on her own accord or do you have a reason to believe she was sent or lured to come to you?"

"I think she approached me, knowing I could use dark magic to help her conceive a child"

Alpha Weinroff asked, "and what did you tell her to do to get a child?"

"I gave her a potion to drink, I'm sure you would see all the proof you need if you search her body. By now, at least, a discolouration of some sort should have started showing."

"Are you saying if we search her body and found a strange mark, or deformity, that should clear our doubt on who is telling the truth and who is lying, correct?"
