A SEDUCTIVE WITCH IN MY CASTLE KATHERINE | squeeze it in my hand, feeling a tingling sensation, my mind
sharper; the words pour out like an uncontrollable river.
Iclose my eyes and focus on them.
In the darkness of my mind, a small spark ignites, rare golden flashes.
| try to take control of them.
They're moving! They dance in my consciousness like playful children made of light.
Acrazy idea crosses my mindl try to guide that primordial magic, letting it flow from my neck to my heart and
then through the veins stretching down my right arm to my hand, where | clutch the powders.
I'm doing it! Sweat beads on my forehead, my breathing turns heavy; it's harder than | imagined, but |

"Zyrelin talyra anithor...
Zyrelin talyra anithor..." | repeat the incantation in my mind over and over.
Iclench my teeth, my vision blurs, a wave of dizziness crashes into my senses, and my temples throb...
Damn it! Con, work, work! "Zyrelin talyra anithor...

anithor, anithor!" Ah, sshhh! I let out a muffled cry, quickly stifling it, afraid of waking Lavinia.
My eyes darted to the bed; she seemed to be asleep.
---- Then | looked at my hand, where the dark fabric glowed with a red light, burning my palm for a second before
slowly fading.
Sweat poured down my body, my dress clinging to my skin, drenched.
Shaky breaths escaped my lips.
Ipressed my free hand to my head, closing my eyes for a moment to calm the dizziness.
Just a small spell, and it felt like the veins in my head were going to burst, my heart pounding like a stampede of
wild horses.
Finally, | focused on the small pouch, which had returned to normal.
Curious, | opened it.
In truth, my palm only itched slightly.
| slipped two fingers inside and pulled out a sample of the powderonce black, now a reddish hue, radiating
warmth.
At my touch, it gave off a sense of calm and peace.
"Goddess of the supernatural, | hope this truly worked...
and there's only one way to find out." Imurmured to myself, rising to steal one last glance at my daughtermy
greatest motivation for this madness.
sek That dawn, | took another scented bath, just in case.
| dressed in a heavy robe, but beneath it, my body was bare and ready to consummate my matriage.
| walked through the dim corridors in silence, careful not to run into any night watch servants.
---- Reaching the Dukes quarters, | peeked under the door.
No light.
My cold hand gripped the doorknob.
| had a clumsy excuse ready in case he caught me.
Who knew? Maybe | wouldnt even need to use the spell.
Still, | stepped through the antechamber, which looked more like a small library.
Imoved almost blindlyl had never been inside this chamber before.
The Duke slept with his doors open.
Good, because that way, | saw him: his massive silhouette sprawled across the bed, his steady breathing filling
the silence.
The carpet muffled my bare footsteps, keepingfrom being discovered.
Tadvanced, guided only by the slivers of moonlight filtering through the glass panes and the heavy, partially

Nervousdamn itl stood beside his bed, like shaunting specter, staring at him, waiting for those icy eyes to
snap open and scareto death.
"Duke" | leaned in, nearly pressing against his handsface, and whispered "Duquesito? Are you asleep?" His
chest rose and fell steadilyhe didnt seem to notice.
He must be exhausted.
Nana toldthat ever since he arrived today, people had been coming in and out of his office non-stop.
| pulled out the bag, keeping my eyes locked on him.
Slipping my fingers inside, | grabbed a generous pinch and, without hesitation, blewit all into the Dukes face...
