. The king and the queen watch there daughter sleep in the jail cell. Seeing her like this hurt them, she just watched her teacher die in her own arms. They thought about it for a while as Victoria slept. They both looked at each other, things weren't adding up.
They march out of the dungeon and up to the council room. Barging in the king intimidates all the council members with each step he takes. With a resolved "Gentlemen" he took control of the room.
"You must all be wondering why all of you were called her on such a short notice" the king explained " well as you all know the crown princess, my daughter is currently being convicted of murder".
Every one was thinking about the night of the death and its occurrences. "The teacher and the crown princess were close acquaintances". "why would the princess out of anyone commit such a sin".
" We all agree that none of this is adding up" council member Joshua observed. All the council members nodded there heads in arrangement. " The crown princess has never killed anyone even if there a enemy in battle" rob explained. Angelica agreed " Justice was very important to her, indeed".
At that moment one of the council members announced he has a key witness who saw the whole thing. Mr. Emitt the baker who owned the bakery across the street to the dojo.
Mr. Emitt walked to the center of the room greeting the lords and his and her majesty. "I was closing up when I saw it happen, the princess looked off she looked terrified and tried to back away from Sky but then her Aura suddenly changed and she seemed like a whole different person, After she stabbed her it looks like her energy was suddenly drained and she started crying frantically".
After he told them all this he left to go back to work. The council members started to speak back and forth with each other thinking about what they should do. Then council member George cleared his throat "My king if it is all right we would like to talk to the crown princess".
The king interjected "Victoria is in a very fragile state right now she looks like with one strike she would crumble". George reassured the king "we just want to find the truth and we want to help her, we cant if she stays in that cell". The king sent the royal guards for Victoria.
When she arrived the king made them take off her handcuffs. The Queen walked up to her daughter and hugged her whispering in her ear "dear, I know this is hard but please will you tell is all the truth we all are here for you if you will let us".
Victoria sighed" I came her to train with Master sky because about two years ago, back in the city I was cursed by a witch and she preformed a forbidden spell on me and now she is slowly stealing my life force like a parasite", she started to cry " mom... dad you should just leave me in jail, my hands took someones life".
Everyone looked surprised, no one thought this could be the problem. Victoria started from the beginning and told them everything". At the end King Camille called the royal mage to observe the princess magic energy. After a long test it is declared and proven that a witches soul is merged with Victoria's. They also found out exactly how much time she has left, a month or two at least and its pushing it but the max is half a year.
