"What did I do again?" I asked trying to free myself.
When I saw them approaching Darcy's room, I knew trouble was ahead of me.
We got to his room and they pushed me inside and left. As usual his room was dark and I couldn't see where he was.
"Where have you been?" Darcy asked
I tried to search for him in the darkness but couldn't get anything.
"I was in the servant's quarters"
"Looking for whom?"
"My friend Sammie"
And that was when I saw him stepped out of the darkness right in front of me.
"My instructions were clear but you still chose to defy my orders"
"Do you wish to remain a servant so that you can be with your friends?"
I don't know what type of answer Darcy was expecting but I better not say yes.
"Good"he replied like he was in my mind as usual.
"Since you are that less busy to be wallowing around the castle get ready, you are to fulfill your duties this night" he said and turned to go.
"Wait! I am not feeling too well" I lied.
"That's your business" and he left immediately.
I'm in a deep problem." I'm not a full witch yet what should I do?" I have to come up with something.
Besides being a witch doesn't even guarantee anything. If I don't take in I would be dead by the end of the week.
I left for my room to think of what to do to delay the inevitable.
Darcy's Point of View :
"What do you think you are doing?!" Lucy said upset.
"First you spared her the other night now you want to sleep with her. I thought you promised me that you wouldn't touch her. That slut!!"
"Enough, you don't tell me what to do and what not to do. Do I need to remind you that you are nothing but a servant. Know your limits and choose your words carefully." I said already getting annoyed.
"I am sorry my love. I just don't want to share you with that girl. It's not like she can carry your child"
"What do you mean?" I asked intrigued.
"Don't tell me you don't know that she is not a witch. She has been playing along all this while when she is aware that you need a witch to bear you a child" Lucy was still talking when Darcy dashed out immediately.
"Just what I wanted. Oh I am so going to enjoy this" she said and left happily.
I was rushing to go and snap that liar's neck into two without even thinking twice. I could feel the betrayal and annoyance. She has been pretending to be a witch then how did she pass that test if she isn't one.
"My brother!!"
I decided to start from him first.
"You would regret the day you thought of deceiving me to steal my inheritance" I said to him and threw him to the wall breaking the wall down.
I picked him up and punched his jaw and threw him to another wall breaking it down again.
He tried fighting back but I dodged his punches and threw him on the floor. I could hear the sound of his bones breaking but I couldn't care less.
I was about to throw another punch when mother walked in.
"Both of you stop it now!!"
I pulled away from him and turned to her and asked
"Did you know too?"
"Know what?"
"That the so called girl you forced me to marry is not a witch"
"That's not possible. She passed the test"
"That was the part that Lucian played. He helped her"
"Why would he do that?" Mother asked with a disbelieving voice.
"The spell can only be removed by a witch and apart from you who else practices witchcraft in this castle"
"Lucian why would you do that?" She asked him hoping that he would defend himself.
"Not only that. The slut was playing along with him!"
"Don't address her as such Darcy!!! She is innocent. I saw it in her eyes that night"
"Well she is not that innocent" Lucian said getting up with a smirk.
"I met her in the garden and helped her. But I told her that you only want a witch and that was before the wedding" he added.
I got more angry and couldn't wait to snap her neck into two. I turned to go and do that immediately.
"Darcy stop"
"What is it mother?"
"Remember that once you kill her that you don't have any other chance to get a child and your inheritance goes to your brother"
Damn it. I forgot about the prophecy.
"It doesn't apply to her she is not a witch. I still have one more chance"
"she might not be but she comes from one." Lucian said
That was when realization hit me.
"You are behind this all along and right from the beginning"
"Yes brother. I chose your bride and I made sure it was one who can't bear you a child" Lucian said with a look that meant that he has won.
"She is a dormant witch. I confirmed that before choosing her. And you know dormant witches are not witches. Their parents might be but they are just the same as humans."
"Enough Lucian. Darcy see we would look for a way around this problem but please don't kill her yet. I would look for a solution" mother pleaded.
I left with anger. But I didn't go to look for her rather I sent for Lucy and when she arrived I used her to calm my nerves.
"What's your plan now my love" Lucy asked me.
I got up and wore my clothes and looked at her and asked her to do the same.
"You see you never told me how you knew that she wasn't a witch. The most annoying part here is that you know how I don't tolerate those who stab me at my back"
"Guards!!" And when they came in I instructed them to take her to the dungeon. Lucy was too dumbfounded to defend herself.
Now it's remaining that slut which I already sent for.
