Chapter 72

Reene

It was already a year since the war had ended and we had been living in peace ever since, but there was still a problem. 

The shadow of the battle still loomed large over Hezen. My mother had not woken up ever since. It was a very sad time for us but we still hoped that one day, she would wake up and come back to us. My worst fear that the blade had magical properties might have been right after all. 

I wished she had finished off her evil sister right away rather than leaving her to die. Meanwhile, the witches had no queen, and the void left by her absence needed to be filled since nobody had an idea when she would be back, not even the physician could do anything this time. 

He just had to make sure that she stayed alive while we prayed something would happen soon. I still remember vividly during the first few weeks how heavily worried I was, how I cried myself to sleep most of the time as I thought about her.
