45 The Secret
Dorothy’s POV:
‘Selma, Selma! I beg you. Please be okay.’
I couldn’t help but recall every little thing happening while I was with Selma. Without realizing it, I fell into a strange situation.
Ti seed to have stopped. I could see the butterfly’s wings on the flower flapping slowly like an old clockwork toy. The wind and air seed to have frozen. So people who shouldn’t have appeared began to appear in reality. They moved forward as if they had 100 tis the normal speed, but I strangely observed everything.
I realized that my prophetic ability had appeared for the first ti.
Complicated information gushed into my head, making feel dizzy. I only managed to grasp a few key details before the prophecies disappeared like the wind.
“Selma... I repeated. “And, Sir Aldrich.”
“This is a soul-stirring love story.” I smiled bitterly.
‘It was so shocking that you might lose your lives for it.’
Selma Payne’s POV:
I slept until dusk. It had been a long ti since I felt so refreshed, and the fatigue accumulated over the past few days was swept away with my sleep.
“Miss Selma.” A servant ca to ask for my permission. “A young lady by the na of Dorothy Hyeres wishes to see you. She says that she’s your classmate at Sivir Academy.”
“Of course. Please take her to the guest room, and tell her to wait for a while. I’ll wash up first.”
From what I knew, Dorothy wasn’t a girl who was very keen on socializing. She was quiet but delicate and sensitive, always isolating herself from the outside world.
I wanted to be friends with her, but it had not been going very well. So why would she suddenly co to ?
I quickly washed my face and gargled, then rushed to the guest room.
Dorothy sat on the sofa uneasily. When she saw , she whispered, “Good evening, Selma,”
I was surprised as she had never said a word before, at least not in front of .
“Good evening. I heard that there was an accident at school last night. Are you alright? Did you get affected?”
Dorothy was not very popular in school. Amid the chaos, I wasn’t if anyone had thought of pulling her to safety. I hoped that that night had not traumatized her.
“I’m fine. I’m fine,” Dorothy lowered her head and stamred a few words in response. Suddenly, she said, “I have sothing I want to talk to you about in private, can I?”
I gladly agreed and asked the servants to leave for the ti being.
“What’s so secretive about what you’re about to tell ?” I sat down beside her. “It’s just us now. Don’t worry.”
Dorothy pursed her lips tightly and avoided my gaze as if she was still hesitating on whether she should say what she was about to say.
I wasn’t in a hurry. It was usual for this girl, who had always been silent, to be inarticulate.
Finally, she seed to have made up her mind and said, “Can you keep what I am about to tell you a secret? Please don’t think that my request is rude. It’s just that... it might be too shocking. ”
I laughed. “How is this a rude request? We’re friends, and friends should keep each other’s secrets.”
After saying that, I asked uncertainly, “We’re friends. This isn’t one-sided, right?”
Dorothy did not seem to expect to say that. After a long while, she nodded slightly. “Yes.”
“Before we start, I have sothing to tell you,” she said. “In fact, I’m not a pure werewolf. My father iwass a wizard, and I’m of mixed-blood. I was the one who caused the riot at school last night. The witch’s blood and my wolf had a fierce fight. I fainted and caused everything.”
Woah!
I didn’t expect to this on such a peaceful day.
It was so unbelievable that I took a long ti to find my voice. “But, you are in the palace now... Could it be that they... ?”
I suddenly ca to a realization. Could the elders have ordered Dorothy to be captured and executed in secret?
This was not fair! Even if Dorothy could be considered half a witch, even if the relationship between the werewolves and the witches was tense, Dorothy had not done anything wrong. She should not have suffered this unexpected punishnt!
“I’m going to please my father and uncle. They can’t treat you like this!”
I stood up indignantly. Dorothy was shocked and quickly pulled back. “No! Don’t go! I’m fine. The Lycan King has been very good to . He was afraid I’d be exposed, so he brought to the palace to hide for a few days!”
Realizing that I had mistaken, I sat down in embarrassnt.
Dorothy took a few deep breaths and said with great difficulty, “My father’s bloodline can predict the future. This ans I can also predict the future when I beco an adult.”
“And my first prophecy happened today. It is about you.”
“About ?” Her serious expression caused to beco serious as well. “What is it about?”
“You’re dating Sir Aldrich, right?” she asked.
I didn’t expect our relationship to be exposed so suddenly, and I panicked for a mont. However, this kind of panic was harmless in the face of friends and not parents. Young people always stood on the side of young people.
“We want to keep it a secret for the ti being.” I tugged on her sleeve. “Only you know about this. Please don’t tell anyone else.”
Dorothy nodded. “Of course. We’re friends. Friends should keep each other’s secrets, right?”
