"You see, as smart and intelligent as you are, you couldn't come up with one reasonable excuse to defend them with," Anita said smirking devilishly. For some reason she felt happy that for the first time, her question left the clever princess speechless.
"Do you remember when your father made an announcement that he had annihilated the entire witch race? What will you say if I tell you that your father lied to everyone including you," Anita asked curiously.
"There is no way he would have lied about that. Although I was just ten back then I can vividly recalled my father leaving the palace with his vampire army. He did not come back for three days and when he came back, he only came back with a few of his men. He said most of them were killed in the fierce battle. I don't recall him coming back with any other witches or wizards except you so I am certain you are the one telling lies," Michelle said, her confidence at it peak.
"There is one part of your narration which carries an iota of truth and that is the part where you said your father only had me as the only witch in his company that day he came back. The rest part of the story was made up by your father. Your mother is an accomplice too," Anita said boldly.
"What points are you trying to make by bringing up the past?" Michelle said not willing to argue with the witch again.
"The point I am trying to make is that your father the Emperor and Empress are using those witches they caught to create elixir to make them the greatest beings on earth?" Anita relayed firmly.
"What powers can they possibly derived from the witch?" Michelle chuckled not believing what Anita said.
"Who said they are only using the witches and wizards for the elixir?" Anita asked with a tint of mockery visible in her voice.
"What do you mean that they are not only using witches and wizards alone?" Michelle asked anxiously.
"Vampires, werewolves, witches, wizards and mystical beings like the Fox and beasts are used for the elixir. He also uses spiritual essence of immortals sent to earth to make the elixir. It is a matter of time before his men concludes the final stage of The elixir. The moment your mother and father lay their hands on that power. Everyone including you and I will be at their mercy," Anita said trying to instill fear into Michelle. As a witch, she has always used her powers for evil. She only understood the feelings of misery and helplessness after being locked up for over a decade.
"You are the sole reason why your parents wants his men to conclude this project in the least amount of time. What they plan on doing after gaining the power is to steal your power and add it to theirs. By the time they are through dealing with you. You will be a powerless vampire. What do you think everyone will do to the evil vampire who always trample upon them? Try to imagine it," Anita said creepily.
Why is the witch suddenly revealing this secret to me? She will be a blatant liar if she said she is doing this because she cares about me?
If it isn't because of the above reason then what is her aim in revealing my parents elaborate plans to me?
Michelle thought. A part of her does not want to believe the cunning witch's words while a part of her believes everything she has just said.
"No, no, although my mother and father are vicious people they will not bear to harm me. I am their only child so they won't harm me no matter how much they hate me," Michelle said in denials. She really wants to believe that her parents are incapable of harming but she couldn't.
When she was just a child she could recall those evil glints on their faces whenever they stare at her. She started doubting her parents love for her when they almost tricked her into sealing her entire power when she was just nine years old.
Just to become powerful enough to protect herself from everyone who dares to harm her. She had practiced and cultivated for entire two years without food or water. After she came out from cultivation, she had sealed herself in her father's library read and practiced all the cultivation method she came across.
Beating her father at the age of 16 didn't just happen like a miracle like everyone assumes. It came with hardwork, determination, zeal and devotion. While other kids were lazing about she was either practicing her cultivation or fighting skills. That was the price she had to pay to attain her current peerless power but why does everyone makes it look like she woke up one day to gain these superior powers.
Why does mother and father hates me so much? Their wickedness was the one who drove me into who I am today so why do they still seek for my doom? They are the ones who brought me into this world so why do they hate me so? Since childhood what wrong have I committed against them to warrant this level of hatred from my parents? Someone out there should please tell.
"If you don't want to fall a prey into their hands just like your grandparents and every other victims of theirs you must take a drastic decision against them," Anita said encouragingly.
"Your mother a vampire princess killed her parents and took over the entire Empire with the help of your father. It's not a bad thing If history repeats...,"
