Chapter 101 - She Was Their Queen! (1/2)

Kayla couldn't say what she had done, so she thought up a story that someone in the party had drugged her. She had found herself wandering through the jungle when Ein caught her and accused her of poisoning Dmitri and Adrianna.

To her surprise, when she opened her mouth to tell her story, she found herself saying, ”I mixed the poison pill in Adrianna's tea, but Dmitri also drank it.”

Kayla was shocked as to what she had just blurted even though she had thought of something else. No matter how hard she tried, her mind was forced to speak the truth.

Adrianna was shocked by what she heard.

”No, this is not correct. I mean- I mean- I mixed the poison in Adrianna's tea which Dmitri also drank,” repeated Kayla. Her mind couldn't say what she wanted to say. She looked at the man who had brought her back. He was watching her without blinking his eyes.

Ein was forcing Kayla to tell the truth by delving into her mind and not letting her tell her lies. The only limitation to the magic was that the person who was affected could only talk about himself or herself. They couldn't speak about anyone else, and so Kayla couldn't blurt out a word about Cora or Keisha.

All of a sudden, Ein felt someone block his magic. He looked at Howard. Howard knew that Ein had been casting his magic on her and so he hadn't interfered. Ein asked Howard in their own language whether or not Howard was the one stopping the magic. Howard shook his head, so Ein asked him to join in on casting the truth spell on Kayla. However, both of them were again blocked.

And only now could Kayla find herself saying what she had made up. ”I don't know what happened to me Adrianna. I think someone drugged me.”

This was unacceptable. All of the wizards had joined Howard and Ein in casting their magic to force Kayla to speak the truth, but they were all blocked simultaneously. It was as if their magic couldn't reach Kayla. Who was so powerful that he or she could block the combined magic of six wizards? They all looked at Adrianna who was in a state of shock and staring at her sister.

Adrianna had blocked all the magic when she had accidentally delved into the deepest corners of Kayla's mind to uncover the truth. Even though the wolves could listen to each other, they couldn't see each other's memories and it was these memories that only Adrianna could uncover.

Adrianna felt weak in her knees when Kayla spoke her lies.

”By the time I woke up, I was in the forest. This man here has wrongly accused me,” said Kayla.

”This is not the truth,” roared Ein. ”Kayla, you had a pill hidden in your dress when I accidently saw you in the hall. I had to make you unconscious to replace that pill with only a mild drug so that your devious plan could be exposed later on. Where did you get the pill from?”

Howard, in the meanwhile, had realized that it was Adrianna who had blocked their magic.

She was their queen!

No one else had the power to do things like that in this world.

His eyes were wide open as he watched her doing magic effortlessly. It was as if it was in her nature. The way she was able to pry open the lighting whip was also extraordinary.

”Cora gave me those pills!” replied Kayla, breaking Howard's thoughts.

Cora came forward and slapped Kayla across the cheek. ”You moron! How dare you accuse me? Just because I do not approve of Adrianna doesn't mean I would do something so ghastly!” she spat.

Kayla hid her face. She understood that she was alone in this matter and that she would never be able to prove herself.
