On the city wall, the Old Witch was infuriated to the point of stomping her foot. She had not expected that as a Great Witch who had lived for over two hundred years, she would be bested by a young vampire who was barely past a hundred.
It was an absolute disgrace!
The Old Witch told Ivita, "Your Highness, I was fooled by that bastard."
"My apprentice - Davina - is a vampire who has been alive for over a hundred years. I had previously thought that her husband had seen the truth and realised that his wife was nothing more than a blood-sucking parasite. But to my surprise, they were back together the very next day."
"Then they ganged up and tricked me."
Ivita pursed her lips. However big a married couple's argument was, outsiders who intervened often became the common enemy.
The Old Witch stomped and said, "Her husband deceived me, saying that Davina was going to run away."
