Chapter 8 - The Witch's Lies

At the witch's request, Revan removed the sheet from the girl lying on the bed and asked her, "Can you cure her? She has not been able to regain consciousness for a long time."

The old witch was shocked to hear Revan's words. She had not expected that the king, who never allowed any girl to come near him, would have a girl in his room today and that too on his bed. Perhaps that is why the king must have covered his bed with a sheet so that no one would know that there was a girl in his room.

She slowly went to the girl lying on the bed and checked her pulse. She said to Revan, "Your Majesty, this girl has fainted due to suffocation. That is why she is not regaining consciousness. It seems she might have met in a big accident before this!"

After saying this, she checked his pulse and then started chanting some mantras while keeping her hand on her chest. After chanting for a long time, she suddenly took a step back. As if she had seen something very strange.

Seeing her moving backwards like this, Revan asked her, "What happened? Why did you suddenly move backwards like this? What did you find out?"

Hearing Revan's question, the old witch sat down on her knees and said, "I am sorry, Your Majesty, but I felt a kind of magic inside this girl!"

After listening to the witch, Revan said to himself, "I thought right. This girl has cast a spell on me. I will not leave her!"

After saying this, he moved ahead to kill the girl when the old witch said, "But seeing her current condition, it seems that she has used her magic for some such work which could have taken her life. But even after that, she is still alive. This is surprising."

After listening to the witch, Revan stopped at his place. He did not understand what she was trying to tell him. He asked her, "What do you want to say? Tell me clearly!"

After listening to Revan, the witch said, "Your Majesty, this girl has used her magic in such a place that it could have taken her life. But even after that, she is alive; this is a miracle."

Hearing this, Revan asked, "So then she does not have any magic?"

Hearing Revan's question, the witch nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. For now, all we can say is that she has no magic. But we cannot guarantee that the magic will never return. The magic may or may not return at all!"

Hearing this, Revan asked him, "So this means that her staying with us is not free from any danger?"

Right now, he is losing control just by looking at her. What if she stays among them and later on casts a spell on him? Then the situation might get worse than before. That is why he will have to deal with her beforehand. 

After listening to Revan, the old witch thought for a while and said, "No, Your Majesty, we do not need to kill her! Instead, we can use other methods to stop his magic from spreading further."

Hearing this, Revan asked him, "And what is that method?"

The old witch hesitated a bit after hearing Revan's words. She did not understand whether she should say such a thing in front of her king or not.

Seeing her hesitating, Revan said to her, "Why are you so nervous? Whatever the method is, tell me clearly?"

On hearing Revan's order, the old witch said, "Your Majesty, a magician never gets physical with another magician. By doing so, his power goes to the other magician, and he loses his life. But still, many magicians try to draw the power of others by using this method. If this girl starts getting physical with someone, then her power will keep getting divided, and the chances of her magic getting back completely will be very less. But is there a problem with this as well?"

Hearing the old witch's words, Revan asked her, "And what is that problem?"

Hearing Revan's question, the witch hesitated for a while. She did not understand whether she should say this or not!

Seeing her hesitating, Revan said to her, "What is the matter? Tell me quickly now, otherwise it will not take me even a minute to kill you."

His patience was running out. He had to get rid of this girl somehow. Otherwise, she could become a threat to him in the future.

Seeing Revan getting angry, the witch quickly said, "The little magic that was flowing inside this girl is still very strong. Our clan people are not powerful enough to withstand the flow. Instead of drawing magic from her, she may draw power from our clan people. There is only one person who can withstand the flow inside her..."

Having said this, she became silent.

Seeing her silently, Revan asked her, "And who is he? Tell me quickly?"

Hearing Revan's question, the sorceress said, "It is you, Your Majesty! You are the only one who can withstand its flow right now! Perhaps it is also possible that by absorbing its magic day after day, you can become completely fine!"

After saying this, she lowered her head. She was sure that after saying so much, their king was not going to leave her alive.

But after hearing her words, Revan became completely silent. He looked at the girl lying on the bed, who was still unconscious.

When the witch realised that her king had not ordered her to be killed, she raised her head and looked at the king, who was staring at the girl lying on the bed. Seeing the king staring at the girl, the witch realised that the king was paying attention to what she was saying. If she could persuade the king a little more about this, then the king might give her a very good reward.

As much as she knows, the king doesn't have much knowledge about magicians. So, he will never know the method she has told them about. In reality, there is no such method, and whatever method exists, it exists only among magicians. Not among humans. The magic that was present in the body of the girl lying in front of her is gone now. It is absolutely impossible for the little magic that is present inside her to awaken again.

She is a small magician. She herself doesn't have much knowledge about magic. So she said whatever came to her mind. Now she just had to somehow convince the king so that he would give her a huge reward. After that, she will simply disappear from this Feather Clan overnight. She said to Revan, "Your Majesty, I understand that this decision is very difficult for you, but you have to do this for yourself. This girl will be able to help you a lot in getting better. Along with this, if she gives you an heir, then all her powers will also come to him. Your and this girl's powers together will make him even more powerful.

She was deliberately exaggerating the matter.

Hearing her, Revan said to her, "Okay, you can go now!"

When the witch heard what Revan said, she was surprised. She thought that the king would be happy and reward her, but he just told her to go out.
