"I need you to Infiltrate the demons castle and bring me the crown prince's beloved flower." Her mother relayed and Lisa felt all the air suck out of her lungs.
"C-crown prince?." She stuttered, her heart hammering against her chest heavily.
"I know you hate demons Lilian but you have to get that special flower as it is the flower we will need to complete our final potion."
"L-lilian?." Her eyes widened in shock. Did that woman just call her Lilian?.
"Are you sure you're alright Lilian? You had disappeared for a while and now you return with no memory?." She looked at Lisa suspiciously and Lisa couldn't help but notice how similar that reaction imitated her actual mother.
"You need not worry about me mother, I am still recovering from some few shocks." Lisa stressed the last word as she looked down at her feet.
She knew she couldn't handle this alone and the only person she had to put her trust now in was her so called mother.
"Rise at once!." Her mother ordered and a force pushed her up.
"Come with me now Lilian." Her mother stood from the throne and walked towards a different door making Lisa to immediately scurry after her and once she passed the door, it closed on its own.
Showoff.
"I'm so tired of pretending to be the rude queen in front of them." Her mother mummered and Lisa's brow lifted up instantly.
Pretending?
They approached a door that opened as soon as her mother got near it and Lisa entered hesitantly as the door closed behind her.
"How was the mission I sent you to?." Her mother turned to her and she swallowed nervously.
"I-i didn't go to any mission." Lisa confessed. She couldn't risk saying a lie in front of the leader of all witches.
'Trust no one Lisa, including me.'.
The words Lucas said suddenly came to her and she didn't want to disobey it but she didn't know why it felt like she could trust this woman standing in front of her.
"I know that." The woman's eyes sparkled in a wise way and Lisa only stared at her in surprise.
"I also know that your not Lilian right from the time you woke up dear." The woman revealed more and Lisa felt her jaw drop.
"What I don't know is why I feel a connection to you and I'm not talking about Lilian." The woman frowned and waved her hand, her features immediately changing.
"Maybe you might know me in my true form."
Lisa stumbled backwards as entirely new features replaced the woman's old one and a beautiful young lady came in view.
Long blonde hair, bright blue eyes, a face that any man would die for and a curvy figure.
She knew this woman! This woman was no other person than her mother!.
"You look too shocked." The woman chuckled"So do you know me?."
Lisa opened her mouth to scream. To shout her mum's name, she wanted to hug her mum, tell her everything that had happen but she paused.
This image of her mum standing here was young. Too young. She looked to be in her late twenties.
"No, I don't know you. I was just shocked at your beauty." Lisa said blandly. She forced herself to do so. After all this time of searching for her mum, she has finally found her. But now that she was finally in front of her Lisa couldn't do anything but watch her from a distance.
"So what do they call you?." Her mother asked, walking to close the window as her long hair flowed with the wind.
"Lisa." She breathed. Her hands clutching the sides of her gown.
"That's a beautiful name." Her mother turned back and walked to her.
"I supposed you understood the plan I told you at the throne room." Her mother's tone now turning serious and Lisa nodded immediately.
"Your goal is to steal a particular flower from the crown prince and I know it's not going to be easy."
"To steal a piece of flower?." Lisa lifted a brow. How hard could stealing a flower be?.
"Indeed it is. This is not any normal flower but it's name is the dark rose. It is a rose flower that can withstand any type of pressure put on it. The four elements are nothing to this flower and only the crown prince knows where it is." She concluded.
"All I need to do is to get past the crown prince right?." Lisa asked and her mother replied
"Getting past the crown prince isn't as easy as you think. The crown prince is a demon you can't mess with. His intelligence surpasses any we've seen walked upon this lands and his charm second to none."
Lisa's heart skipped a beat. Could it be him?.
"His charms is the one I fear the most for you. This mission may take a while and that means you may stay with him for a while, you can not and will not fall for him." She emphasized and Lisa's heart drummed disorderly.
"What is the punishment for doing that?." Lisa gulped. She had a feeling on where this was going.
"I won't have any other choice but to kill you." The woman's voice turned cold and Lisa shivered.
Was this how her mother was before?.
"Understood." Lisa nodded. A new motion being imprinted in her mind.
She had to make this work as well as finding out what exactly happened to Lilian and Lucas. She had been taken to the past and she had no choice but to play along with everything that was and will happen.
"I don't know why they are all turning against me." Her mother's cold expression faded and only a sad smile replaced it.
"Who?." Lisa asked.
"My sisters, they already harbour the feeling in their hearts and are waiting for the right time to strike. Ever since my closest sister lost her powers and the throne to me, she had sworn vengeance." Her mother's disguise came back and Lisa's eyes narrowed to her.
"Why are you telling me all these?." Lisa frowned at the discret information that her mother was passing to a random stranger.
