I hope y'all liked the first part. This is the continuation. I have kept the story predictable and focussed on rhymes. Let me know what you think about it.

***

'Do whatever you want and whatever you can
But I order you to bring me back my man'
And so saying he went to rest and sleep
Leaving the witch astounded and at unease.

For the Knight was a man fair and just
Was it even possible to turn around a person so virtuous
But the poor witch was helpless
She was tasked to bring down a man so selfless

She thought and thought and thought some more
But found no way and threw herself on the floor
At last she turned to the tested way
Became a beautiful Madame- merry and gay.

Assuming the role of a Mistress accompanied by her vassal
She reached the high gates of the Knight's castle
The Knight true to his customs- welcomed her
How would he have known that she was a disguised killer.

The witch by now was overcome by sorrow
But she had a task to be completed before tomorrow
The Knight was sharp and he got the gist
Of the impending danger coming with the beautiful mist.

Effortlessly he drew his sword and made a clean strike
A ghastly spectacle no one had seen alike
The head, now severed, cursed the Knight's better half to be forever caged-
The sorrow by then turned into furious rage.

Part III will be updated most probably tomorrow.
Have a Nice Day
