76 Forced Conversion
Selma Payne’s POV:
The love story was sad and beautiful, but Aldrich and I thought more as a princess and a general.
“So, this story shows that the southern Duke and the witches have personal grudges other than national grudges?” I guessed.
Pure white witches were extrely precious existences. Satan’s power was dark. To turn this power into a life-saving ability was no longer sothing that could be described as a genius. The right ti, place, and people were all indispensable.
The pure white witch died for the southern Duke. The sorcerers didn’t care how much sadness was hidden in her death. They only wanted to vent their anger on the southern Duke.
Thus, he and his daughter Carolyn were perfectly expected to be attacked.
“My father and I think so, too,” Aldrich said. “My father thinks the southern Duke survived because of the pure white witch, so there must be a witchcraft prir in his body. It will be much easier for any sorcerer to cast a spell on him without anyone noticing.”
“We have to tell my parents about this imdiately!” I imdiately stood up. The daisies fell on the grass and disappeared.
“Of course, my father was planning to co to the palace today to report to the Lycan Pack.”
“Do you think my father knows about the old relationship between the southern Duke and the pure white witch? I can’t imagine that he would ignore this.”
“Actually, it’s a secret. Other than the southern Duke, my father, you, and I, no one else knows. After all, it was a ti of war. No matter how beautiful love is, it can’t win over the hatred of blood and fire. It’s not good to be in love with the enemy. ”
Oh, that was true. If the southern Duke had been discovered back then, one less noble hero would be known to everyone, and one more traitor nailed to the pillar of sha.
I was ready to find my parents, but Aldrich was still in the sa place, not moving.
“What’s wrong?”
“Can I ask about your identity?” he asked after a mont of hesitation.
Ah, right, this problem hadn’t been solved.
“About that,” I answered stiffly. “Actually, I went to you this morning to confess my identity.
“As I said, I am Selma and Madeline. Eighteen years ago, I was an orphan taken in and raised by my kind adoptive parents. From now on, I am the princess of the werewolves, the future Queen.”
“B-but why did you hide it from ?” Aldrich asked dejectedly. “Whether you are Selma or Madeline is unimportant, and your identity is unimportant. I still love you, as always. But I’m sad you’ve been hiding it from , my love.”
“I’m sorry,” I said guiltily. “I had just returned to my parents’ arms. Everything was so strange to .
“You know that not everyone supports my father. Many people in the Council of Elders are trying to make things difficult for him. If I were to admit my identity rashly, what awaited would be endless suspicion, bla, and even assassination. My parents asked to hide my identity and pretend to be their relative to protect so that the public would accept my existence.
“It’s not that I don’t trust you. On the contrary, I want to be honest about my identity almost every ti we et.” I held his face and looked into his eyes, hoping my true feelings could be transmitted to his heart. “It’s just that my identity is not only related to . I must be responsible for my parents and the werewolf pack, so I could only lie to you.
“I’m sorry, Aldrich; I swear I will not hide anything from you from now on. Please forgive for my past lies.”
Aldrich was silent for a mont. I didn’t know what he was thinking, so I said, “I have awakened my wolf. Her na is Maxine, and she’s a carefree girl. We are twins, and we share the sa blood. We can never hide anything from each other. If you don’t believe , then please believe in the wolf that has been blessed with eternal honesty by the Moon Goddess.”
After saying that, I summoned Maxine, wanting to exchange control of my body with her.
Aldrich was shocked and rushed over to stop , but I had already decided.
“Are you sure you want to do this? We haven’t gotten used to the stage where we can freely switch forms yet. You’ll be in extre pain if you force to take over your body. Not only now, but you’ll have to endure nausea and fatigue for the next few days until your body recovers.”
Maxine strongly disagreed. This was the first ti she spoke in such a serious tone.
“I’m sure. Co on!” I said, “Just like what Father said, young people should always be a little impulsive, right?”
My entire body felt light after the intense pain of my skull being torn apart. I felt as if I had lost control of my body and was hiding inside my body to observe the outside world like a ghost.
At the sa ti, my tightly shut eyes opened, revealing a pair of eyes that shone like stars.
“Hello,” the other said.
“I’m Maxine. Nice to et you, Aldrich.”
