MRS RÓDRÍGUÉZ - EPISODE 83

” We need to leave this cave. ”
Gueneviere suddenly said.
Mario has been expecting her to say this for long.

They’ve been in the cave for days. It’s time they relocate to a place better.

“I have a place in mind. ”
Mario retorted.

He walked closer to the red witçh who sat on a Stony rock.

“Then, take me there” she ordered almost immediately.

Mario shrugged reluctantly.

“Now?”

“You have something else in mind” she spared him a short glance before looking away.

“We need to leave this place immediately. I no longer feel safe here.
For the next seven days I’ll be without my full powers I need to feel safe. ” He retorted.

” You’re scared of your sister?” Mario coçked an unexpected question.

His question gave out a small growl from gueneviere. She stared angrily at him.

“I am scared of no one. ” She shot back a reply.

Mario nodded without a word.

“But…” She began.

“There are times when my sister can be pretty unpredictable. ”

She got up from where she sat and walked about.

” sapphire knows too much. I know she knows I’m back and I don’t expect her to sit back and watch me regain all my powers.
She’ll strike and I need to be secured. ”

She sounded serious.
Too serious for Mario’s liking.

“What about the princess?.. she’s still alive. What if she’s with a child?. The existence of the princess only bring you death. How do you intend to deal with that.?”

Gueneviere muddled her head as he spoke out.
He was making sense, but still.

” Audrielle’s life depends on her child’s. Audrielle’s existence only bring death to my curse on the land. Her existence brings life to Scotland and it’s people.
But what happens when the source of everything is taken away?..”

Gueneviere paused.
A small smile played at the corner of her lips.

” Audrielle is with a child already but not for long.
I have that sorted already. It’s just a matter of time. She’ll lose her child and when that happens, it only means one thing”.

“Her life. ” Mario added.

“Yes. Once the baby is gone, there’ll be no Audrielle, and when there’s no Audrielle, I’m already the winner.”

She briefed a smile after her statement.

If there’s one thing she’s so sure of, it’s her plan working out as planned.

Mario nodded with an hidden expression on his face.
Why does he have a bad feeling about this?

Isn’t this what he wanted?.
Going through all those troubles to get thus far, why does he feel suddenly uneasy?.

Was there something he was missing?

“I need to leave immediately, Mario”
Gueneviere distorted his thoughts.

He blinked nervously and forced a smile.

” I’ll show you the way. ”

He flinched a little before picking his bags. He headed out of the cave and gueneviere followed immediately.

There was something about Mario she couldn’t just get her hands on .

She doesn’t trust him and neither does she feel she has any use for him.

Once this is all over, he’ll discard him like nothing that he is.

It’s just a matter of Time.

To her , he’s rather useless than she thought.

*****

Sapphire.
She felt so lost in thought as the queen and Rachel sat with her in the Queen’s chamber.

“There’s only one thing we can do.”
She finally said, breaking the silence.

Rachel and the queen lifted up their heads in anticipation.

Whatever it was, they were ready to bear it. Right now.
They are ready to do anything to save audrielle.

“What is it you suggest?”
Rachel asked.

“We call out for help from other witches”.

Rachel exchanged a short glance with The queen after hearing Sapphire’s response.

“Witches?”
They chorused.

” There are other witches?”

“Hopefully, yes” sapphire replied and then continued. Her eyes fixated on the two women.

” After gueneviere was defeated so many years ago, and the throne given out to humans, most of the witches decided to lie low too as I did. They decided to live amongst humans as ordinary being. You would never suspect them cause they kept their powers hidden all these years. ”

There was a change in the atmosphere. Hope filled their guts as they silently nodded.
There’s so much for them to know.

“So, where do we start?.. who do we reach out to first. ” The queen asked. The words ranted from her lips with little patience.

Sapphire exhaled sharply.
She picked her pace around the room.

” Lanna of Edinburgh. ”

That name,.. it sounded so familiar as it rolled out from Sapphire’s lips.

“Wait.” later Castel opted.

” Lady Lanna?.. she’s a witçh?”

What?.

“You know her? ” Rachel asked.

She could see the shocked expression on the Queen’s face.

That suprised look meant so much.

” Of course I know her. But I never knew she’s a witçh. ” She uttered in so much suprise.
Indeed, she never expected that.

“Witches are not tags we put on our forehead my queen” Sapphire replied with a dry chuckle.

“This lady Lanna, how do we reach her?”

Rachel asked, skipping her question to the most important part.

“That won’t be a problem. I can take us to her. She is a Royal friend and I know where she stays. ”

Lady Castel replied. Still unable to place the fact that Lanna is a witçh.
