《A Portrait Of A Witch》 Prologue: Faceless Portraits Chirp! Chirp! The Sound of birds chirping in the morning sweeping near the branches in the window light that passes through a room filled with portraits with the empty face was filled, while the morning sun shined through a room full of paintings of his mother while mixed with other portraits each canvas had lingered feeling of sadness and longing. While the rays of light creeping through the face of a young man laying down his couch who was sleeping soundlessly had woken due to the birds'' melodic chirps. His whole body was stiff due to him falling asleep on the couch. Izach who just woke up was rubbing his eyes. His eyes opened slowly while he examined his entire room filled with portraits of peoples who have no face that was filled with longing. While glancing at the portrait he made last night. ¡®Mother¡¯ After waking up he slowly sat up from his couch he was sleeping on and slowly but surely examined his entire room filled with faceless portraits then he traced back the work that he has done for a couple of years. But there was only one work his eye gazed locked at. ¡®I wish you were here¡­.¡¯ It was a portrait of his mother who passed away in an accident. After looking back and reminiscing the time with his mother he slowly examined the 236 portraits of peoples that who has no faces bit by bit that he made for the past 10 years, He glanced at each one of them that the window near his couch that he was sitting on. That he heard Chirping yet again that made him looked at the window behind him. ¡®Oh, it¡¯s already morning?¡¯ A smile crept at his face while glancing at the two birds that were protecting their nest. Hearing their chirps loudly was filled with joy. ¡®Such loving parents¡­..¡¯ -knock! Knock! There were knockings heard in front of them, Izach glanced with a questioning look while he slowly looked away at the birds who were chirping, While replying. ¡°May I ask who it is?¡± ¡°Pardon me Young master it is me Hilbert your butler¡± While speaking in a well-addressed manner. ¡°May I enter the Young Master?¡± .Hilbert asked ¡±You may Enter,¡± I said in a calm voice. ¡°then Pardon my Intrusion Young Master, ¡°Hilbert said while he opened the door The door slowly opened revealing an adult in his 40s who had a dignified and calm Demeanor And appearance. He was tall for his age while slowly looking at him you may think he was a strict person due to his age but even his looks can be deceiving but in truth, this old man can be sly as a fox. ¡°May I ask who were you again?¡± A frown formed on Izach¡¯s face and asked If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. While the old man gestured in a coughing manner. ¡°*Cough*Cough Young master, did you forget about this old man yet again?¡± .while his voice was filled in such a sarcastic manner. ¡®This sly old fox¡¯.Izach¡¯s brows furrowed due to Hilbert¡¯s sarcastic remark. ¡®Then Should I Return this In such a word in a respectful manner?¡¯. Even knowing Hilbert for a long time he hasn¡¯t changed. While slowly raised my hand and acted in disbelief. ¡°Oh my! Hilbert How can a young master like me forget my loyal and trusted butler??¡± .while saying it in a disbelief tone of voice while hiding my grin on my face. Hilbert was shocked by the sudden remark that a smile crept at his face then chuckled. ¡°Kuk. You have grown young master¡±, Hilbert said in a soothing a voice ¡°You taught me well Hilbert?¡± I replied. ¡°Well, Young master I only thought you the way of the tongue is it something to brag about?¡± .Hilbert replied. ¡®Kuk, even with your sly attitude of yours you were always one of the people who were always by my side, Even though I always forget your face I still remember that sarcastic attitude of yours¡¯. while a smile slowly crept at my face remembering those times. ¡°Well did you not know? I use some butter and some pinch of salt on It?¡± I said in a sarcastic tone. Hilbert was amused and shocked due to my blunt remark that the smile on his face grew more than almost formed a crescent moon li on his face that apparently made him chuckle yet again. ¡°Kuk, I think I am getting too old for this Young master even this sly old fox can¡¯t even handle your Sharp tongue of yours¡±. Hilbert said in defeat with a grin. Few minutes passed while Hilbert and I were exchanging insults. We heard the knocking sound at the entrance of my room. One of the maids of the Alberos Household bowed in front of me as a sign of greeting. ¡°Young Master Excuse me.¡± the maid said ¡°What is it?----him who were you again?¡± I asked ¡°It¡¯s me Wendy, Young Master,¡± she said in a mannered tone. Memories stuck within him that made Izack remember the feeling he can¡¯t see or even appreciate the face and expression of the people around him. It was hard to even for him. While he slowly examined and glanced at Wendy who was standing in such a stiff manner. ¡®It was always a big problem for me remembering a person due to the fact I can¡¯t see their faces¡¯ I sighed and slowly remembered that at times I can¡¯t even trust anyone who was beside me. The only person I trusted the most at that time was Hilbert, he was always by my side looking at me and guarding me. Even if I wished I could remember each of the servants in this house, I would really want to see their faces and slowly greet them all. ¡°Pardon me for my prudence, Wendy. May I ask what you wanted to inform me about?¡± I asked calmly ¡°Your Father the Marquis is waiting for you at the Dining hall. He wishes to speak with you, Young Master.¡± Izach¡¯s face crumbled that slowly formed a frowned look, he looked at Wendy who was in front of the door stiffly while slowly rubbed his temples. ¡®What a Grumble...I thought father was away for more than a few more weeks. I never knew that my father would come home this early. Now to make it worse he didn¡¯t even inform me ¡¯. It was silent for a moment and I slowly glanced at Hilbert who was behind while immediately dodged my line of sight. ¡®This sly old fox¡¯ while I glared at him and sighed in defeat, I really should lower this old fox¡¯s salary. I focus my attention yet again on Wendy. ¡°Thank you, Wendy you may leave,¡± I said in a calm voice while slowly grumbling. Wendy bowed and immediately left the room. There were a few minutes of silence while I looked at Hilbert with a frowning look even though I can¡¯t see what his expression was but I know him way too well. Then Hilbert slowly walked and sighed restlessly and began to Talk. ¡°My apologies young master that I did not inform it much earlier,¡± Hilbert said in a saddened voice while immediately lowering his head. ¡°Ooh??? So you were having fun teasing me but you had the carelessness to not inform me about my father¡¯s Return, then, Hilbert?¡± I spoke earnestly. ¡°I only did this for You-¡°I stopped Hilbert from Finishing his sentence while I slowly patted his shoulder to reassure his doubts to Show my sincerity. ¡°I know Hilbert I¡¯m thankful for your service but I¡¯m not a child anymore That you would always look out for I am now an adult knowing such little problems .you should not need to worry about,¡± I said with a grin on my face while scratching behind my head to reassure Hilbert¡¯s worry yet again. Hilbert slowly sighed in defeat and smiled. ¡°Well, I surely will miss the Rascal of a Young Master I¡¯ve Known,¡± Hilbert said in a sad tone. The voice was filled with reminiscence deep inside. ¡°Ah Yes, Those Were Good Times¡­..¡± While A smile Slowly Crept at my Face looking at Hilbert in a Soft manner ¡®Even though I can¡¯t see your face the time I spent with you proves that you¡¯re the one who always has been by my side¡­¡¯ A smile slowly crept while looking at Hilbert. While a few minutes had passed. The atmosphere was turning back to normal. While slowly Izach walked in front of Hilbert .and patted his shoulder yet again. Hilbert felt a chill down his spine and heard. ¡°But I should Really Consider lowering your Salary Hilbert hmm??¡±I said in an eager tone while grinning. Hilbert¡¯s face paled in complexion while he replied. ¡°*Cough Young Master you¡¯re getting crafty these days.¡± Hilbert smiled while slowly moved back 2 steps away with disbelief from my remarks and sighed in defeat. ¡°Hum-hum well, I learned from the best? Then Should I Get Ready Then?¡± Izach replied with a grin on his face. ¡°As you wish, Young Master,¡± Hilbert said in a respectful but happy tone While Bowing His Head. Hilbert Slowly Walked past me and opened the door of my room while I was slowly stepping out and leaving my Quiet Peaceful yet full of Portraits that were filled with no Faces, Chapter 1:A Friend After I was done taking a bath I immediately prepared and head at the Dining room. While Hilbert was following two step behind me .The feeling of the servants looking at me while I walked passed by many thoughts crossed my mind the feeling of vagueness in there empty faces while each I passed by filled me with unaware feeling, the faint feeling of hostility and paranoia filled my mind every day I walk this hall that I wash I can leave this hell. Then suddenly a warm voice filled my ears. ¡°I am at your side Young Lord.¡± Hilbert¡¯s voice filled with sincerity reach my ears and made me calmed down. That moment my mind was filled with reassurance I do not need to be afraid. ¡®Well as long I have this old fox by my side to annoy me I won¡¯t even feel alone. But I guess if I said at to him directly. That ego of his will only grow.¡± Izach¡¯s Spine Chilled thinking about this old man¡¯s ego inflating it was already grumble dealing him now but the moment he said that he shuddered in fear ¡®Ugghhh.Izach get a hold of yourself do you want ¡°that¡± old man to Tease you more¡¯ I kept repeatedly chanting to myself while I was walking while Hilbert was behind me. While walking at the hallways of the Alberos Manor many would be surprised how large and spacious it was. Even the maids who first worked at here would obviously get loss how large the mansion was it was always due to the reason the alberos family was always a trusted comrade and friends of the Royal Family. Due to the Fact that the Alberos family holds one the strongest military power of the kingdom. While it was always due to our ancestor¡¯s effort and achievements we hold this power. Especially knowing the Achievements of My Father Alberto Von Alberos the 2nd .we hold this power even though where only a marquis in status .but due to his Rapports and unyielding nature and smart tactics in war we still hold and act as a main fortress and frontlines against enemy kingdoms at Northeast regions of this country. While many high or low rank status Nobles wish and envy us to such some wished to have such connection to us Alberos our Military and status in this kingdom hold the candle in the same ranks as the dukes in political strength of this kingdom. While slowly reaching and Approach the entrance of the Dining hall my mind was filled with Complexion the feeling of hostility between me and my father it was like Oil and Water every time we face each other there were always time we argue. While taking a deep breath I regained my composure .while slowly opened my mouth.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. ¡°Father May I Enter ¡°I spoke in a Calm voice ¡°You may Enter¡± A Voice that holds a strong yet commanding voice ringed at my ears. many emotions where bottled in his heart while Izach heard his father¡¯s voice.

Unknowingly His Butler Hilbert was Tapping Izach¡¯s Shoulder .that knowing it seems like this Butler of His has something to say. ¡°What is It, Hilbert?¡± Izach Said While They Were Walking. ¡°It seems like I need to do Some Groceries Young Lord.¡± ¡°Is that all Hilbert?¡± ¡°Yes Young Lord¡± Hilbert Answered while he was Scratching his Cheek. ¡°Then you have My Permission.¡± ¡°Then where should you wait for me?¡± ¡°You can just pick me Up in The Park. I guess?¡± ¡°Then You Should Take this Young Lord,¡± Hilbert said While He hands Out a Sketchbook and A pencil to Izach. ¡°Why would I need that? You won¡¯t take that long are you?¡± Izach replied while he frowned. While Izach Was still Frowning Hilbert took a look at his Hand watch to look at what time it was. It was 12:45 and it was still early to go home. Due to that Reason Hilbert Devised a plan, Obviously, this Old Fox was Only doing This so his Young lord can have some Fresh air so 1 hour 15 minutes of wait is not too long is It. ¡°Well, it would obviously take me about an Hour Young Lord? If you wish I can Pick You until 2?¡± Hilbert replied. ¡°Okay I¡¯ll wait,¡± Izach answered. Hilbert was shocked. He wouldn¡¯t think that his Young lord of His would Listen to his Request unknowingly he Became stiff while Izach Was Gesturing His hands At Hilbert. ¡°You said you¡¯re going to buy some groceries right? Then give me my sketchbook and my Pencil then *sigh¡± Hilbert Immediately handed the sketchbook and Pencil to Izach Blankly and while Surprised a smile Crept at Hilbert. ¡¯There is Nothing Wrong if he doesn¡¯t know I¡¯m Smiling Kukuku¡±Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. ¡°Then This Humble Servant would take his Leave then¡± Hilbert Step was Light while he walked away with a grin on his face leaving Izach Alone at the Entrance of The Park. ¡®Sigh Where is The Best Place I can Have my Alone Time in This Large of a Park.¡¯ Scratching His Head he walked slowly and scanned His Surroundings where would be a good spot to draw. Many Children¡¯s Where Playing Birds Singing at the Tree Branches it was Filled with such Festive Atmosphere yet Izach Can¡¯t get the things Out his head Constant Laughter and joy was there yet His Anxiousness never faded Constant Beating of His Heart made him even more nervous. ¡®Come Izach You Can Do this it¡¯s just 1 Hour¡¯ Izach Said to Himself for Re-assurance Izach Walked while he continuously scanned his surroundings for a good spot to sit on. At that moment he saw a bench near a tree. It was a nice spot where he can see the Children Playing Joyfully while he himself can enjoy doing what he wants. While he sat down at the bench he took a deep breath mesmerizing looking at every person who he has no reason to talk to yet he slowly took out his sketchbook and his pencil. ¡®Well, what should I draw then?¡¯ Izach said to himself while scanning his surroundings. ¡®Aha!!¡¯ Izach saw a grandma who was age 70 to above seating at a bench feeding the pigeons. Yet the problem is he can¡¯t even see what kind of Expression the grandma is making. Izach Sighed in Defeat not knowing even a simple facial expression. Izach Gripped at the Pencil he¡¯s holding. He slowly put the tip of his pencil on the piece of canvas. His hand began to move swift yet elegant lines being made while time passed by. Izach was in a state of trance; he only glanced at the piece of paper. A state of emptiness only felt no one or anyone, only him and the pencil at his grasp and a sketchbook was the only thing he saw. 5 minutes 10 minutes 30 minutes passed and he was still in a state of trance. Knowingly he didn¡¯t even know how many minutes or hours had passed. Yet for some reason, there was a small girl who was holding the cloth of his pants. Izach Glanced.

The Chain and thorns surrounding her heart Disappeared as her Cries weakened. The Grip of her hand at Izach''s shirt loosened, her breathing slowly stabled. ____ Thirty-minute have passed. A Short Silence filled the Air. Izach was Fixing His Shirt while Lily was still Arranging her thoughts. Izach''s Cloth was a bit Ruffled.

Yet the Small rabbit that was coated in Platinum White Fur. Eyes as dark as Black Waiting for her mother to Come home never Leaving the Home She Ones Lives in Not knowing how to walk nor leap to the place she wishes to see.

As His Counterpart Placed Izach Deep in His Chest. [Was It Painful...] His Counterpart Whispered and Reached Izach''s Ear. As His Counterpart Ruffled His Chesnut Brown Hair Like How An Uncle. While It was Wierd For Someone Who Looks like A Replica Of Himself To Just Embrace Him it Didn''t Feel weird. ''I-It F-Feel''s Warm...''

As His Fist Slowly Uncrumpled. His Face Showed Cracks. Emotion''s Flood His Mind. Unable To Regain his Composure. Izach Grabbed His Counter Part''s Shirt As He Shoved His Face In at His Chest. A Shoulder he Wishes To Lean On. Something He Desperately Needed For The Past Eleven Years, While Many Tried To Comfort him. Yet He Denied Their Grace, Yet Why Now... As Strong Breeze Past Through Yet Again While The Whole World Around Izach Began To Change. As The Books Began To Fall at their Respective Bookshelves And The Space Around Him Began To Crack Like It was A Lie. In A Blink Of an Eye, The Around Izach Changed Yet Again. "Ah-AH AHHHH Ugh.....aHHHHHH!!" Izach Cried. As His Grip Tighten. [It''s Okay Cry All You Want...] Unable to Talk Izach Only Remained Silent. As Tears Continuously Drop. yet He Can Only Cry.

Mum Would Always Tear of Her Dress When it Get''s Latched to a Branch Or It was A Hindrance When Were Playing?] His Counterpart Remenisense what memory they had when their mother was alive. Izach Nodded His Head. [She Would Alway''s Tear it Off Just For Us, While The Maid And Father Would Obviously Punish Us For Our Mis Behavior, Mum Would Always Have Our back And The Blame Even Though You were ...] "*H-Hic Y-Yeah..." Izach Answered In A Low Voice Even Though His Throat hurts He Still Tried to Reply. As Izach Continued to Cry His Counterpart Continued Speaking Talking About The Past. Their Mum''s Favorite Food Her Antics And Behavior When She Was Alive. ---- [Kuk....M-Mum W-Would Always Pinch Our Nose when we get into trouble while acting Angry yet would laugh at us when we admitted we did it... While Always Taking the Blame For Us, And You Remember that time When We Broke A Vase when we were running around the House... She Would Always Come to our rescue...And When We''re Having A Moring Practice She would Watch us Swinging Our Wooden Sword. Cheering at us Like she Was A Child...Kuku... It Was Embarrassing...Y-Yet.....] His Counterpart Raised His Arm That Was Ruffling Izach''s Hair. Then He Covers his Face with it.

It''s Hard...] Izach''s Counter Part Bit His Lower Lip Not Knowing This Kind Of Emotions Does Exist Inside Him. {I-It H-Hurts,} He Thought to Himself As Tear''s Running Down On His Cheek. He Knew He was Only been Born To this World Only For One Reason. He was A Part Of Izach who Wished More Than To Enjoy His Life. To Be Normal. "I-I''m sorry... I''ve Known It For A Long Time.... I''ve Known H-How Much... How I-I Wish For A Normal Life... Y-Yet.." Izach Spoke Trying His Best To Relay His Emotion to His Counter-part.

Izach Raised His As he Looks at his Counter-part''s Empty Face. And As he Gets Off his Counter-part. Slowly Sat Down Beside His Counter-part. [You''re Me, I''m Just A Part Of Who You are.] He Lowered His Head. "We Have Ambitions. We Have A Desire What Make Us Human" Izach Said as A Smile Crept At His Face. His Eyes were Swollen Red Due to Him Crying. He Was Lucky Both Of Them Were Faceblind. Or It Would''ve Been A Bloodbath of Insults. Yet Izach Knew That Denying This part of Who He was Doesn''t Help anyone Yet The Only Thing He Did Was to Deny It. [I Was Afraid To Look Back...] As his Counterpart Lowered his Head.As he Clenched His Hand And Formed A Fist. A Few Second Of Silence Filled The Two yet After His Counterpart Tried To Relax Himself He said. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

As His Counterpart Slowly Raised His Hand And Slowly Wrapping it On His Head As He Sat in A Fetal Position Covering His Head Using His Knees. "..." Izach Tried To Comfort His Counterpart by Reaching His Hand and Patting His Shoulder yet He Can''t. [I-I''m S-Sorry....*Hic.....I''m Sorry...] As His Hands Trembled. Izach Was Left Dumbfounded Unable to do Anything As He Gaze At His Counterpart who was Crying. Yet He can only Look at The Ground Below Him. ''Wh-what...Should I Do...'' Izach Who was Left "Hey, Where Did Your Nasty Attitude Go? Lighten Up, Man... I Know Your A Part Of Me, I Know You''re a pain..." Then Izach Slowly Spread Both of His Arm And Embraced His Counterpart. "I''m Sorry... I''m sorry I''ve been Thinking too Much of the Past." ''I''ve Been Looking Too Much Of Those Time I-I Forgot...What''s More Important'' As He Clicked His Tongue In Frustration As He His Embrace Tighten. The Wind Breeze passed As Leaves Slowly Dance in The Wind. [I Miss Mum.....] Izach Frozen as He Looks at His Counterpart''s Empty Face. "I Miss Her too" Then Izach Grinned... He Knows He Can''t See His Own Face He Knows His Counterpart Can''t also See What Kind Of Expression He is Making Yet. He Can Only Do Was Smile. [I Guess You''re Right!!] As His Tone Was Filled With Energy And Optimism While He Raised His Head High. Then Something Magical Happen. The Leaves of The Tree They Were Using A Shade Began To Wither. The Sky Began Moving In A Fast Pace As If The World Was Moving 2 Times Faster. Izach was Confused Unable to Do Anything He Can Only Look At The Sky That was Moving at A Fast Pace As The Breeze Slowly Becoming Stronger Carrying The Wilted leaves. Surrounding Both Of Them Inside. "Wh-What''s Ha-Happening!! H-Hey!!" Izach Said In A Frantic Tone. As He Grabs His Counterpart''s Shoulder Jerking Him Around Trying to Give Sense into Him Yet there was no Answer. ''Be Calm Don''t Panic.'' As Izach Calmed Himself. As His Grip On His Counterpart''s Shoulder Firmed. "H-Hey!! Can You Hear Me!!" Nudging His Counterpart Frantically. [Thank You] His Counterpart Spoke in a Low Tone. As A Whirlwind Of Leaves Circled Them. "H-Hey W-What''s Ha-Happening" Izach Asked. [Thank You For Giving Me That Chance... Thank You For accepting My Wish.] As Slowly His Whole Body Radiated A Bright Light That Engulfed Him. "Do-Don''t Leave W-we-" As Izach Tried to Talk Senses To His Counterpart. His Presence slowly Flickers As His Whole Body Slowly Disappears to the Unknown. Chapter 16 Taking Time As You Wander Whether It''s Unknown Or Known, How Much I''ve Eager To Persist To Remember A Face And Who They Are. All I See Is None. A Smudge Or A Clean Slate That I Can''t Even Fill Up. It Only Took A Ghost Of A Witch to Break that This Wall Of Mine. Yet Why... As I Clenched My Teeth. All Alone In A Empty Meadow. Standing Below this Vast Land of Nothing. As I Gaze At The Empty Skies In front Of Me Where I Am Supposed to Be Who Was A Puzzle that Was The Voided Deep in Depths That I''ve Craved To Become. Vanished. ''Can I Change?'' .More Than A Thousands Of Words Entered my Mind Neither One Can Out Weight The Fact I''ve Been Naive. I Stayed The Same As Time Moves Forward. I Stand Still As Others Takes A Step Forward. I Stayed The Same As Others Progress. "What have I''ve Been Doing All My Life..." As I said in a Breath. As A Tear Slowly Feel Down on My Cheeks. ''Why Am I Crying?'' I''ve said To Myself. yet How Much Time I Cried I''m Only A Wimp. No Matter How I Act. No matter Who I Am. I Even Can Remember My Own Face. I Can''t Even Be Proud Who I Was Or Where I Am. As My Heart Drops As The Color On My Face Slowly Paled. I Can Only Grab my Chest And Look At The Empty Spot Where The Supposed Me Stood Before. I Sighed Heavily As I Stared At The Sky. ''I Look Up To You As You Look Down Upon Me.'' No Matter How Much I Stare at What''s Above Nothing Changed. No Matter How Much I Look Below My Feet Nothing Will Happen. No Matter How I Look Back I Can''t Turn it Back. "All I can Do Is Move Forward." ''Sigh... No Matter How Many Times I Look at Any Direction Nothing Will Change if Don''t Move Forward'' As Izach Stared Aimlessly Looking At What''s Ahead. "Hey... If You Were in My Position What Would You Do?." Izach Mumbles too himself, As a Breeze Flew Past By.Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. "Yeah, You''re Right...". A Smile formed On Izach''s face as He Looks forward to what''s ahead. I Know I Can''t Catch Up. I Know I Can''t Reach Them Yet. But I Still Have the Time To See What''s Around Me. As Izach Was About To Take his First Step A Voice Suddenly reached His Ears. The Voice Whispered At Izach''s Ears. [If A Person Really Can Change in A Blink Of An Eye Then No Person Should Be Suffering.] As Izach Answered In His Mind While He Gazed At the Sky. The Voice Said. [A Wish That''s Mostly Superstitial That You won''t Be Proud Of.] [Because It Only Gives Immediate Result Without Progress.] "Well, I would prefer if you don''t label me as such person who wishes to cut such corners. and learn from my mistakes." Izach Said as His Brows Furrowed. She said in a questioning tone. "Then It would be Better if you Show yourself?" Izach Said as He gazes at his back. Only to See a Woman in A Black Dress and Lustrous Black hair Dancing in The Wind. "Well For A Witch you Do seem to have a weird taste on young men?" Celine Said As she Puffed her Cheeks. "Oh My, Is This Your Curse?? Cursing Me With Your Childish Behaviors?" Izach said as a smile formed on his face. "Well Forgive Me Miss Celine I''m Just Astonished. A Beauty at Your Caliber Would, Of Course, Make Men And Women alike Would Question Their own Sexuality?" Hiding Her Flushed Face Using Her Lustrous Black Hair. "It''s a Joke... No Man Would Love A Five Hundred Year Old Granny Like you." "*Cough...I Am not a Brat. Miss Celine, And I Only Spoke In Such Crude Manner since I Wouldn''t Be Sure Such Man Who Would Love You When The Day That You Have to Tell Him Who you are?" As Celine Said. While She Pursed Her Lips While Frowning. "Well, What Kind of Person Would Have not been Shock to Learn that the Witch Who Cursed The Empire would be such a Romanticist?" Izach Spoke In A Sweet Like Manner. ''Really... Who Would''ve Known This Historical Of A Figure That Parents Used to Scare Their Childrens Would Be Afraid of This!!! For The Last Thing I Heard of. She Doesn''t Acts Like A Noble Girl in her teens Who Loves to Gossip and Loves to Talk About Love!! But She''s just a total Romanticist!!'' Chapter 17 ''Really... Who Would''ve Known This Historical Of A Figure That Parents Used to Scare Their Childrens Would Be Afraid of This!!! For The Last Thing, I Heard of. She Doesn''t Act Like A Noble Girl in her teens Who Loves to Gossip and Loves to Talk About Love!! But She''s just a total Romanticist!!'' As Izach Scratch his Head In an Irritated Manner. "For a Witch, you Enjoy Gossips Do You!!" As Izach Berated. As Celine Laugh in A Sarcastic manner that even made Izach Annoyed. "Wh-Why Y-You!! *Sigh... Okay Let''s go Back to Business Shall we??" As Izach Proposed, Izach knew that even he tried to Fight-back against this ''Old Hag'' He Won''t Win. ''Damn it... I Really Should Fight A person Near My Age...'' As Izach noted In his Mind. Every time He tried to quip or Answer Back against an Old Lady or Man. He Always Loses. " I Did Not Say I Admit That I lost!!! But I only did it Due to your Pride!!!" As Celine Acted Her way of the Conversation even Faking Her Own Tears just to make Izach Surrender. "Don''t use Your Fake Tears Against me you Old Hag!!!" As Celine Proudly said While Her Nose Pointed High while Hiding a wicked Smile Using Her hands while Crying.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Izach took a Step back in Disbelief. For the first time, there was Such a Person that made him more infuriated than his own damn butler, in such a manner that he would be glad if he can just choke her to death. ''Damn it... I Really Should Fight A person Near My Age...'' As Izach noted In his Mind. Every time He tried to quip or Answer Back against an Old Lady or Man. He Always Loses. "Alright!! Alright Your Not An Old Hag!!! Can we Just Begin with Our Discussion then??" as Izach Sighed in Defeat? Celine asked as she Smiled Brightly. "Why Should you prepare some tea huh? this is but only an Imagination?" As Celine insisted while having a smile on her face. "Then Do as You Wish *Sigh" "Why Do I Need to Sign a Contract with you? I Don''t want to be the cause of another calamity you know.." <*Sigh...That Was a Long Time Ago... This is Different... I Only Make Contracts with a few People> As Celine Explained to Izach. "Than First things First. I''ll Be Direct, Why did You Choose Me?" As Izach Said while wearing a Frowned Look. ''My Desire....'' Izach Never Thought that the Witch of Plague would be Attracted nor Awaken due to his Excessive greed or Desire to see. "*Sigh... Many people would wish for This Kind of Thing But I Know that some are more excessive while having pure intentions, While they want to have another chance to gain Riches nor regain what they''ve lost. But some are just borderline greedy that they Desire in this world that they would want to abuse this Chance yet, why Me there is so many people who need this the most yet...why me?" Izach Said as He lowers his head. As He Racked his head at this problem. trying to understand why would this history of a figure would be attracted to him. "Wh-Who the Brat!!! a-and W-What.... ho-how Di-Did you know what I-I w-was thinking!! I Thought This is My Consciousness!!" "WH-WHAAAAAAT!!!! Y-You''re telling M-Me. Th-That Yo-You And Me Are Co-Connected!!" Celine Raised her Voice in Flustered Manner. "Th-Then Can you Please Add More Context to what you are saying so I Don''t Misunderstand!!!" "Well, you''re an Egoistical Person after all." As Celine Cleared the Problem while pointing at the bracelet on Izach''s Wrist. Chapter 18 as Celine Spread her hands wide open a Ball of Light Suddenly appeared it was Bright yet pure. Then suddenly the ball of light changes its shape. as a form of a person''s silhouette. < Can You See This Doll?> Celine said, Izach Slowly Nodded Silently as he was Surprised of such sophisticated and unbelievable Magic he was seeing. "Then What does this Doll Represent?" Izach as he Tilted his head Sideways. Celine Said. The Doll of Light Transformed into a darker shade of amber. then slowly a glow of light slowly Lit up as a speck on its chest burned weakly as if it was feeble and weak that even one blow of wind could Extinguish this small ember in an instant. "I Get the gist of it..." "From the Looks Of it, the Light in the middle is A Persons Soul?" As Izach Answered Celine Said. Then a smile appeared on her face. as Celine Answered in a Concerned Tone. "T-Then i-is it Bad?" "Wh-What!!!" < In This Case...Y-Your Body Can''t Handle My Contracts...> Celine Answered as She Pondered. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. "Th-Then Will I Die if any forms of Magic Comes Attach with me?" Izach Stared at Celine with a Puzzled Look. "If One-Fourth of My Soul was Missing Th-Then I Should Be Dead!!!" "Why? Was This Supposed to be Related to My parents, huh??!!" "Why Am I Abnormal??" Celine took a Step back and Sigh in Disbelief. "So you''re Saying, Even if A Priest used their Healing Spell on me, It''s still useless because a portion of my soul is Missing?" "Then Does A Priest''s healing spell can help me regain a portion of my Soul?" "T-Then Can You Guess how much time I have left to Live??" Celine Looked away at Izach''s Eyes. even if Celine gave Izach an Answer it would only help him in the Short term of things. "I-I Thought You were the Witch Of Plague!!! I Thought You Were the Person Who Cursed this Damn Empire. yet you don''t Know The Answer!!? What Kind Of Witch Are You!!" Izach Raised his Voice at Celine who was lowering her head. Celine Raised her Voice. biting her Soft Plump lips while Clenching her Soft Frail Hands into a Fist. As Celine''s Voice Trembled, and as she Looked Away Hiding Her face. As A Few Minutes of Silence passed by. Izach''s mouth began to open as he Looks down at the ground and bit his lower lips. "A-Are you sympathizing with me?" Izach said in a weak voice as he gazes at Celine in Disdain. Celine spoke as if her chest tightened in pain. "Why!!! I Wasted My Life For Eleven Years yet. the Moment you Came Along the walls that I''ve built Slowly Disappeared as if it was Nothing. Yet, the First Person who I can See A face is you, Why Did you Have to Tell Me!! Why Did I have to know I was About to Die!!!" Celine''s Heart Wrenched Knowing that A boy this young wasted his life without knowing anything, he lost his Vision to see a face he Lost his Mother, Now a Sudden girl just popped out in Existence breaking his so-called faceless world. spouting she was the witch who cursed this empire, Not only that the person who told him that his life is almost at''s death''s door. "I Wished you Didn''t Tell Me about this... Yet, A part of me Wished that. It''s okay if you gave me A false sense of hope of Living...yet why..." As His Throat Clenched in Sorrow., He Knew Every time each word came out of his mouth wishing for that sense of false hope of Living his hope of living slowly crumbled due to one meeting, As the walls around him collapsed in an Instant. Celine wished that she can give him hope. Yet no matter what she does, she can''t lie... She can only look away at those eyes who were wishing for help, yet she can''t. She Can only hope that this News would give him more aware of the situation he is in. "I''d Be More Damn Happy If You Lied!!! I Would''ve been happy if I was Ignorant About this about my situation!!" As his Hands Trembled. while he bit his lower lip trying to hold the pain that aches in his Heart As Celine Continuously Apologized, Each word was filled with guilt each time she tried to stop herself from breaking down and looking at his eyes, Celine knew well the pain that person right in front of him feels, even if they are connected even if they can feel each other''s emotion. she can''t still help that to blame herself. "It Already Happened And Nothing Will Change..." Chapter 19: A Perfect Blend "It Already Happened And Nothing Will Change..." Izach word''s Pierced Celine''s Heart, Was it Guilt that she felt? or was it a Feeling of Sympathy, As she wished that she could say a word or give him the comfort he needs. yet no word nor voice came out. <....> Celine''s Face Paled in Complexion, Even if she tried to look at him the guilt and the gaze of a person wishing for help stared down on her, She can Look away while the knowledge and trauma that this child experienced was no laughing matter, As she forced him reliving the Time of his truama, In this Certain scenario it would Drive a Man to Suicide. yet even if she tried to help him solve his trauma she was still playing a person''s mind and denying Izach''s personal feelings. "Why are you like this? Where did your confidence Runoff to now?" <....> "Why Did you have to tell me about this," Izach Continued to speak as if his eyes were filled with indescribable pain while his heart was wrenching, he can Only bite his lower lip and clench his fist. as he Bottled his Emotion <...> "Why Can''t you Speak?" Izach Questioned while he tried his best not to let his anger make the best of him. <...> Yet No Answer came... Only Silence was Clouded in this vast plane. "Why are you not Looking At Me? Do you Really Think My Words can kill you? Do you Think my gaze can Harm you? Are you thinking ''Oh...Just Please Kill Me....'' do you think I''m a Person who''ll hurt you?" Chapter 20 For More Than Year''s to Come. I''ve watched the people I helped died in vain, I Wished no One would be picked me up. The pain I suffered for 500 years was too large for a person, The more people I get attached the more they left me, yet the world continues while I was forgotten and left alone as I live a life for eternity in seclusion. their company their trust that I believed was true, yet due to me that it was ruined. while it all changed when I met him. -I''m just a mere soul trapped in a bracelet. I have no means to reject who chose me. yet why, As His eyes piqued who I am, as curiosity filled his mind as his choice and on what he should buy landed on me, A bracelet he thought was by no means just a normal bracelet, I thought to myself. -Could I trust my Hope to this Man? In Those bracelets to choose from why did this young boy show interest in me? why did he choose me? Many of those who were greedy yet wished for more banished. yet why? Did this world forget how My Form Looked like? as he Slowly Tied the bracelet around his wrist. I was more than I was shocked than surprised. His Soul was no mere a size of an ember yet. its brilliant flames of unwavering will made him who he is, As Doubts Filled my mind, Curiosity still emerged in me. -It Would not be bad if I peek what is inside of him? As I tried to make a choice, would this person be worth more than the people that I''ve met in the past? or it would be just the same? as I placed my hand on my temples as I Thoroughly think through the problem. -D-Dammit why am I doing this for a person I just met!!! as I bit my Fingers Nails in hesitation as I tried to make a choice. yet my gaze landed on his face. he was by no means a man who would make women alike love him. his sharp lustrous purple eyes that scream''s such life that shined more brightly than others. his bright and silky auburn hair, while his kissable lips and milky white skin that woman would wish and envy.If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. -By no means, this man fits my type As one of my Brows raised in interest and a grin formed at my face it was an exaggeration this man right in front of me would be a contractor? He was kind to the child that he walks beside. yet he was a person you would want to be with. Yet. why every time I gaze at his eyes the pain and loneliness still corrodes his heart? Why Do I feel empathy for this young man? She gazed at his face a smile yet so pure and charming that made her heart skip a beat. as she placed her hands on her chest as the soft melody of heart beats faster and faster as her eyes gazed at his face. -Go-Goodness G-Gracious!! Did I Fall for this Man???!! It was no means as an Exaggeration that Celine herself was falling for a young man. yet, She Can Only Cover her flustered face with both of her hands as she tried to hide her own embarrassment. she knew she was alone yet she can''t just shake off being flustered, As she tried to throw away her feelings she knew that very well what this emotion was, yet. She can only place both of her hands on her cheeks as if she feels like this was not something that she felt for a very long time, yet. she can only look at the young man. while her mind and soul knew, that she was feeling of falling in love again. -thump -thump -thump She mumbled to herself. as she can only look at him and no one else As her heartbeat slowly, She gazed landed upon what he was looking ahead. Every time the little child expresses her pain the young man still has the time to smile. Even a problem arises he still has the strength to give a child of a stranger a chance to find her mother. ''Would this man treat me like this? if I was lost?'' As Celine thought of it as an exaggeration yet her mind was still occupied by the person that is in front of her. as a small flustered smile appeared on her face. she took a small glance at the young man who was walking with composure and pride as he holds the young girl''s arm delicately. At those passing moments, Celine''s heart began to skip a beat. as if her heart aches every time this man shows such confidence. Celine muttered in one breath. as few Seconds of silence passed by. Celine''s face was flushed red as if embarrassment filled her face while she covered her mouth and began to squeal while she Rolled on the Floor trying to Hide her face in such a degree that you might think of her as if she was a person who deemed crazy. after the horrendous display of Embarrassment was over. A smile slowly crept on her face. by no means it was not a smile a normal person would wear but a person who would anyone deemed of being a stalker. ''Sh-Should I h-help hi-him??'' Questions flooded through Celine''s mind, Questioning herself if she was doing something right. Celine took a Deep breath as she tried to regain her composure. ''As a Witch, I should not let my Desire get the best of Me'' Celine tried her best in carving it on her mind, As a witch Emotion is by no means a poison to them, yet love is the most dangerous thing a witch could feel. due to the reason if a witch fell in love with a person undeniable bad luck and misfortune will come not by only means of life by also the decree of this nation that all witches have treated heretics due to her own doing. but she knew best. that fate never left her side that she would find a person that would gladly help her in achieving her goal while also giving her the chance to break the curse she rained upon this land.

Every time the little child expresses her pain the young man still has the time to smile. Even a problem arises he still has the strength to give a child of a stranger a chance to find her mother. ''Would this man treat me like this? if I was lost?'' As Celine thought of it as an exaggeration yet her mind was still occupied by the person that is in front of her. as a small flustered smile appeared on her face. she took a small glance at the young man who was walking with composure and pride as he holds the young girl''s arm delicately. At those passing moments, Celine''s heart began to skip a beat. as if her heartaches every time this man shows such confidence. Celine muttered in one breath. as few Seconds of silence passed by. Celine''s face was flushed red as if embarrassment filled her face while she covered her mouth and began to squeal while she Rolled on the Floor trying to Hide her face to such a degree that you might think of her as if she was a person who deemed crazy. after the horrendous display of Embarrassment was over. A smile slowly crept on her face. by no means it was not a smile a normal person would wear but a person who would anyone deemed of being a stalker. ''Sh-Should I h-help hi-him??'' Questions flooded through Celine''s mind, Questioning herself if she was doing something right. Celine took a Deep breath as she tried to regain her composure. ''As a Witch, I should not let my Desire get the best of Me'' Celine tried her best in carving it on her mind, As a witch Emotions are by no means a poison to them, yet love is the most dangerous thing a witch could feel. due to the reason if a witch fell in love with a person undeniable bad luck and misfortune will come not by only means of life by also the decree of this nation that all witches have treated heretics due to her own doing. but she knew best. that fate never left her side that she would find a person that would gladly help her in achieving her goal while also giving her the chance to break the curse she rained upon this land. She knew this was her final ditch effort she is willing more than ever to solve her sins and bring what is right.
