"Did she find anything?"
Prince Andreas climbed the stairs to the high cliff with his bodyguards. His status as a prince couldn't help but submit to everyone.
Queen Valerie has two children from different marriages, Andreas was born of a human, while his sister, Alita, was born of Valerie's relationship with a vampire.
Valerie's two husbands did not live long after the wedding, they died just as their children were born. Many rumors were growing that it was all part of Valerie's plot to gain the throne.
Andreas doesn't care about the rumors circulating, and neither does Alita. Their natures are opposite to each other, Andreas is power-hungry and full of ambition, while Alita is quiet and always isolates herself.
The two of them were never close to each other, and never greeted each other, Valerie didn't care about their relationship either.
Andreas walked proudly, he already had what he wanted, Thomas' beloved white sword was in his hand, and he also had full control over the royal army, this week, he had ordered many people to look for Thomas' whereabouts.
He was eager to kill him.
"Kyle!" He cried impatiently.
On the branch of a tree, stood a woman, as soon as she saw Andreas, she immediately jumped down.
The woman landed in front of Andreas with her wings spread wide, she was a harpy, a half-bird human figure. Her body had the body of an ordinary human, only on the back, ears, and head there were fine greenish-black hairs, her face was cold and her jaw was firm.
In the Megalima kingdom, the harpy race is placed as part of the air war army. While on land there are humans, werewolves, and orcs.
"Sincerely yours," said Kyle, the name harpy, slightly bowed, the black wings behind her back fluttering beautifully, making anyone who saw would be stunned by the beauty of the harpy race.
"We've searched all over the region, but no sign of Prince Thomas yet." Kyle stood up straight and looked at Andreas.
Andreas just let out a long breath, not expecting Thomas could hide so well even though he was dying.
"It's just that we received a report of a human murder at a Bar in the North Village. Judging by the condition of the dried-up corpse, it looks like it was carried out by a Witch."
"Witch?"
Witch is the last race in the Megalima kingdom, apart from the remaining White Wizard. The others are just low-class witches, no Witch can kill humans, and it hasn't happened in the past few decades.
"We're going there," said Andreas, he heard that if Thomas escaped with magic runes, it's possible that the case in the North Village Bar had something to do with Thomas.
The Megalima Kingdom consists of four regions, namely north, south, east, and west, named after the cardinal points.
"Very well, Your Majesty."
Kyle spread her wings and immediately flew off, followed by the other harpies, soaring through the sky.
Andreas dismounted and mounted his horse, then spurred him away with his guards towards the North Village Bar.
***
Thomas woke up in a daze, the sun had not yet shone completely, the cold was still creeping up to his bones, and he felt dizzy from waking up suddenly.
This is a very fast wake-up record for him after being cursed. Usually, he will wake up after the sun starts to rise. His habit has turned into a child's habit.
Thomas grumbled, feeling his numb legs being crushed by Litzy. The black dog, which he pushed with difficulty, only shifted slightly, then rolled back towards Thomas, seeking warmth.
"It was the greatest jump of my life!"
He saw Iris conversing with a large gray wolf figure, the woman occasionally stroked the fur on the wolf's back.
For some reason, he was jealous.
Iris often stroked his head, but not with the longing gaze that was currently aimed at the werewolf figure. Iris's cheeks flushed red, her lips did not fade with a smile.
"Will we meet again?" Iris asked in an unwilling tone, the wolf was about to move away but Iris always held it back.
Morgan took a deep breath, this was the first time he had met a Witch who was too talkative.
Disgusted, he turned back into a human.
"Don't get in my way," Morgan said coldly, but Iris smiled broadly, her wish accomplished, the woman was shy at first with Thomas but now Iris doesn't seem to have any shame.
Her hand unhesitatingly touched Morgan's stomach, groping it.
Morgan snorted, and took Iris' hand, he was disturbed by Iris' behavior, the thick rose scent of this witch's body also bothered him, and the longer he was with Iris, the more his head dizzy.
"Why such a hurry?"
Iris looked at Morgan with sparkling round eyes, this witch seemed to have a thousand and one ways to make Morgan's heart melt, like there was a magnet that pulled Morgan unable to move from near Iris.
Too long with Iris, he could be bewitched by this woman.
"Iris?" Thomas curled his lips to greet Iris, waking up being treated to Iris' closeness with strangers, he felt neglected.
"Tommy you're awake!" Iris called out, but she didn't move from Morgan's side, instead holding the man.
"Yeah, I just s..."
"Who is this weak creature?"
Morgan cut Thomas off sarcastically. He looked Thomas up and down, small, thin, and frail. Morgan hated it, moreover ... he was a human, and Morgan hated him.
"I?" Thomas pointed at himself, the first impression he immediately disliked Morgan, this man was too handsome, he beat Thomas in every way at one glance, his burly body, his height, and those long legs, Thomas didn't like it!
Moreover, he is now in the form of a child.
"He is Tommy, my partner!" Iris replied carelessly, she pulled Thomas closer.
"He ... Hello?" Thomas greeted when Iris patted him on the back, acting like a mother telling her child to get acquainted.
"Morgan," Morgan said coldly, glancing at Iris, his brow furrowed.
This witch doesn't seem to know what a partner means, she doesn't understand.
"Tommy, Morgan, I hope you guys can be good friends, like Litzy and I!"
"Tch," Morgan looked away, seeing Iris' pretty face, better than seeing Thomas. As a werewolf, he was used to living harshly and competing with others. Being weak was the thing he had most avoided in his entire life.
"I have to go." Morgan jerked Iris' hand roughly, Thomas glared disapprovingly, looking up. Iris who saw that immediately pinched Thomas' cheeks in annoyance.
"Thank you, Morgan." Iris waved, smiling broadly, the witch didn't look hurt at all. Morgan stared at Iris for a moment, then turned around. His body slowly turned into a large gray wolf, and without turning his head, he jumped away.
Iris suddenly felt empty at Morgan's departure, while Thomas was annoyed for no reason, she curled her lips, pouting.
"Tommy, isn't he so hot?" Iris squeaked, Thomas didn't answer, he pulled his hand away and walked away.
