CHAPTER THIRTEEN

VILLERIA LEANED BACK AGAINST the duvet and stretched, her graceful lines and thick crimson hair arching in perfect symmetry until she let out an audible sigh and sunk lower down into the billowy softness around her. She was completely and incessantly bored outside of herself. There were no great games to play anymore. No one to mock secretly or publicly. No one to terrorize or manipulate—there was simply nothing to do.

And it was aggravating.

Maddening.

Wholly exasperating.

For over thirty years she had been trapped within this ever-fueling capacity of boredom—simplicity—nostalgic waste—and she was sick of it. In fact, just the other day she had sworn to herself that if she were to live another horrendous thirty years in such a fashion, she might as well end her life now.

Urgh. Why did the putrid gel waste her time sleeping about in a dim-witted subterfuge of a world? Of all the mindless inane things to put her through!

And here Villeria was—the greatest sorceress of her time—trapped within a despicable bubble of her own. Why? “Why?!” she wanted to scream. Why must her power be limited to one curse at a time? She should have never made that covenant with the Dark Abyss to harness the most complete power known to man. Yes, that power was devastating, when one could use it—but now it crippled her from moving on.

No, she must wait to finish the curse of Aleyna’s family first. The one they signed their lives away with.

Curse Ezralon! That devious beast. How she loathed him. How dared he enchant the babe before she had a chance to witness the child’s beauty and power herself. She was the one entitled to everything in that castle—she was! Not him! And now that spineless unicorn hoped to use the gel against her. To trap her and bait her and destroy the most potent witch he had ever faced before.

Well, he could try. Villeria smiled. He could try with all of his might, but she seriously pitied the man who believed he was a match for her. She sat up.

The young girl was very powerful though—her aura was brilliant white—which indicated the ability for unmatched control. Oh, to have such a being in her charge. To mold her and train her into the glorious personage she could become! It was too magnificent to comprehend.

Villeria needed her. Desperately she wanted her.

Together they would be unparalleled as they conquered every kingdom in the world.

But no, no. The girl must be treated like a simpleton and kept prisoner within her own home.

“Like he is doing to me!” Villeria leant forward and hurled a wine urn against the elegant forest green striped wall. She stood and crossed to the spot where the fragile urn lay in pieces, wine trailing in dark shadows along the patterns. Picking up a sharp fragment, she slid it slowly up her arm and back down again. The cool piece scratching the surface for a bit until she found a nice dark blue vein in her palm.
