Chapter 44 – Part 2
It was the evening after his first class.
Hilla stayed in his office until late at night.
Flutter
A gust of wind came through the window and disturbed his desk. Having focused on his research for a long time, Hilla got up from his seat and picked up the fallen papers.
“Ugh.”
After hours of concentrating and sitting, a strange sound came out from his back and joints. The paper on top caught his eyes as he was picking up the papers and arranging them neatly. It was the paper Mariette wrote on in the afternoon, working hard to learn the letters.
Hilla chuckled. It was very crooked—it was more like a drawing rather than a letter. Nevertheless, she wrote on the paper with so much strength that the paper had indents in it. He suddenly remembered when he was teaching Arfell.
Arfell’s handwriting was much more fluid than Mariette’s. But he was a soft-hearted child as he had a weak body. He suddenly remembered what the little lady asked him.
[‘Are Arumia’s parents bad people?’]
A few years ago.
Hilla entered the Imperial Palace in order to find the history of witches and worked as a scribe in the library. He wanted to follow the traces of his sisters who suddenly left him.
He unintentionally took over the prince’s classes and eventually made a place for the child in the back of his mind.
The weak prince was always hungry for affection. His parents, the emperor especially, cared for his children but didn’t go near them. It was to avoid personal feelings, and it was also due to the promise to the Pope of no contact. That was the rule the prince had to follow in order to avoid death.
“I thought he was doing well, but he wasn’t.”
’I guess I’ll have to visit the Imperial Palace soon.
Hilla put the organized papers on the desk. The moment he turned around, the wind blew again, dislodging the paper.
“What a bother.”
Something caught his eyes as he reached for it. Mariette had scribbled on one side of her paper. One, two, three, four… more than ten of the same drawings.
“What does this drawing mean?”
Hilla tilted his head and looked carefully at the scribbles. Suddenly, a thought flashed through him, and he felt a lightning strike in his head.
“No way.”
’It must be a coincidence.’
But Mariette’s doodles had already stuck in his mind. They reminded him of something he had seen somewhere.
Hilla put down the paper and hurried to rummage through his files.
“No. Neither this nor this… no.”
After a while, he pulled out a thick book from among the many books he had organized. He then opened the book as if possessed and began to flip through it frantically. “I definitely saw it somewhere….” He flipped dozens of pages and his hand stopped at one page.
“…”
Hilla’s eyelids trembled.
He took the paper Mariette scribbled on and turned it upside down. He then slowly put it on the pattern drawn in the book. His breathing hitched.
Once upon a time, he had peeped on his triplet sisters performing an important ceremony. The song his sisters sang during the ceremony during that time, a mournful tune.
[‘Fill our empty hearts; tread on the grass; reach the sky.
‘One feather, three voices – the birth of a dark king.’
‘One heart, three souls – the birth of a dark king.’
It was at that moment that Louisen’s pattern and Mariette’s scribbles accurately overlapped.
“Hah!” A powerful sigh broke out of Hilla’s mouth.
Ten identical shapes inverted.
The moon that lowered the black anchor.
The beginning and root of every witch in the world.
The black king, who emerged like a huge flame and disappeared like one that had been blown out.
Mother of all witches—Louisen de Ruyssen—a pattern that proved a noble and pure blood testament was in front of his eyes.
Hilla foresaw the revival of the splendid past.
