"You have just spoken my mind," the Empress replied, smiling awkwardly at her daughter.
"If you both had agreed, then what are we waiting for. It has been so long since we last visited her, lets Grace her with our presence," The Emperor said standing up from his magnificent throne. For a man who has lived for thousands of years, he still looked like he was in his early thirties. Although he looks handsome, the evil glint and the evil aura that always surrounded him makes him looks dreadful. At first glance, one could tell that he is an evil man.
Michelle, the empress and emperor made their way to the dungeon with their guards at the front lighting the way for them. After they got to the long dark passage leading to the dungeon, they heard a loud voice coming from the dungeon which was a significant distance from where they were standing.
"I will only speak to the princess alone. Everyone else should stay behind," the magical voice echoed through the hall.
"We have come down here to make an inquiry from you, so why do you want to speak to the princess alone?" The emperor's angry voice echoed in the room, his expression instantly turning furious.
"The prophecy only concerns the princess, so only she may alone listen to all I have to say. I will not make any revelation if anyone dares to disobey my order," the voice echoed in the hall once again. With the authority the voice carried, they knew that before the witch made such orders, she had fully prepared herself to get killed by the royal family.
"So there is the existence of a prophecy I am not aware of? And why is that wretched thing so bent on speaking to the princess alone?" The emperor thought in annoyance as he quickly exchanged secret glances with his wife. Princess Michelle did not see them acting all suspicious.
"Father, I think we should just do what she wants. There is no cause for an alarm. No matter how powerful she is, she can never defeat me so be rest assured that nothing will happen to me meeting her without the both of you," Princess Michelle who was so eager to hear the prophecy spoke up to the amazement of her parents.
"Didn't you always detest meeting her, but why do I feel you are eager to meet her today? Is there something the witch who cast a spell on you revealed to you that you haven't disclose to us," Emperor Sampson asked suspiciously? Even His wife found the princess words' actions suspicious.
"That is because meeting her all those years has always been her repeating the same old story, but that isn't the case right now. It's my life and future that we are talking about now, so I can't act as wilful as always, right?" Michelle asked, staring at them with an indifferent expression. She didn't give a damn whether or not they suspected her. She turned and walked towards the direction of the dungeon when her parents did not speak further.
"You know how cunning witches are, be at alert when talking to her so she won't poison your mind against us. We will wait right here for you," the empress shouted after her. Michelle just continues walking, she did not show any sign that she heard her mother's warning.
When she reached the big mounted iron door, she did not waste her time in using the keys to unlock it. She flew the door open at the flip of her fingers.
"You said you wanted to speak to me alone, start speaking," Michelle order fiercely the moment she stepped foot into the vast dusty room. Her gaze fixated on the woman whose hands and legs were chained with big chains. Because of the chains, she could not move around as willed.
The witch kept quiet even after hearing the princess orders.
"I said start speaking or didn't you hear me?" The impatient princess spoke angrily, her voice carrying so much authority. "Although father forbade me from killing you, I will not hesitate to snap your neck if you dare disobey my orders."
"Your father is using his powers to eavesdrop on us. If you want me to reveal the prophecy to you. You must use your powers to create an enchantment spell around this dungeon so he won't be able to listen to a word I have to say," Michelle read the witch's mind.
"Why are you suspicious of...,"
"Just do as I say and stop asking questions," the witch ordered. For a minute Michelle could not believe that the old hag she had always ordered around dare to give her orders.
How dare she to order me around? What gives her the boldness to think that she can order me around and I will obey her.
Michelle thought furiously, glaring daggers at the old witch.
"Seeing you acting so obstinate, I guess you aren't interested in the prophecy anymore. If that's the case, you can take your leave," Michelle read the witch's thoughts yet again.
She folds her hand into a tight fist when the witch used the prophecy to threaten her. She just glares at the witch fiercely for two minutes in silence. She felt the urge to roast the old hag alive, but she didn't when she recalled the importance of the half prophecy she heard a few minutes ago.
Without exchanging more words with the clever witch, Michelle closed her eyes and started performing the enchantment spell. Her eyes flew open seconds later.
"There is no more excuse for you to give so talk or you will not like what I will do to you if you keep on trying to play games with me," Michelle commanded, her fierce gaze on the witch. An iron bar serves as a demarcation between them.
