Chapter 0 – Prologue
“When a witch captures a person, she must not be spared.”
This was a saying known to every citizen of the land.
But there was an eerie exception within the Duke’s residence.
On a night of pouring rain, a small birthday party was held in Duke Bartolomeo’s residence.
“Miss, congratulations on your ninth birthday.”
Seeing the large and magnificent birthday cake presented by the butler and the chef, Cecille exclaimed in admiration.
“It’s so beautiful! Thank you so much.”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I could make a hundred of these for you, miss.”
“Miss, you look really beautiful today.”
A smiling maid carefully arranged Cecille’s clothes.
Roar, crash!
With a deafening sound a thunderbolt struck into the festive atmosphere.
At the same time, a man appeared on the second floor balcony.
Hair resembling a raven’s wings shimmered under the chandelier. Cold, glittering eyes like pitiless golden jewels. Impeccable beauty, as if carved from exquisite marble by a master sculptor.
The Emperor of Shadows, a behemoth of the underworld, the leader of the most powerful criminal organization in the Empire, the Father of Crime.
All these titles referred to one person.
Raven V. Bartolomeo.
As soon as he appeared, all who had been laughing and chattering fell silent.
“Your Grace.”
Everyone stood respectfully to greet him.
The Duke’s arrival made the atmosphere tense with the exception of one person.
“Your Grace!”
Cecille ran to the stairs, her skirt fluttering behind her.
She clung to the Duke’s waist as he descended the stairs. Her carefully arranged attire was ruined as the fabric was crushed haphazardly.
“Your Grace, I missed you!”
The cold-faced Duke looked down at Cecille, who had pressed her cheek against his waist. A faint, almost imperceptible smile touched his lips.
“I’m glad I’m not too late.”
He spoke affectionately as he enveloped Cecille. She leaned into his familiar embrace.
As Cecille was held in the Duke’s arms, the astonished and wondering eyes of the people gathered in the hall were fixed on them. Cecille felt those looks.
‘Yes, if enchanting people and leading the masses astray defined a witch, then a match for such a witch would be the most formidable villain in the Empire.’
She was the only one who knew that she wasn’t an ordinary nine-year-old girl.
Her name was Cecille Winona Lynn Obedienne. Once upon a time, she had been an immensely powerful dark sorceress, capable of wielding half the continent’s power.
If surviving as a witch in this land requires it, then I’ll use whatever I have to, even if it’s the man who killed me in a past life.
Behind her beautiful face, Cecille hid a resolute determination.
Even if he was the one who took my life in a previous existence.
In this life, to avoid the miserable fate she had experienced before, she desperately needed the help of Duke Bartolomeo, the man who killed her in a past life.
That was why she had come to the Duchy of Bartolomeo.
In the embrace of her adversary, Cecille smiled happily. This was what she needed now.
