Hellbound With You

Chapter 726 - Calm Down

As soon as the car passed through the school gates, Alicia sighed out in relief. Ezekiel did not stop the car or gave any reaction at all. So she thought that Ezekiel most probably did not notice Lilith who was there at all.

And even if he did catch a glimpse of her, Alicia told herself that there was still no way Ezekiel could have recognized Lilith in that crowd and in just a single short second, because Lilith was in her perfect human disguise. Alicia could recognize Lilith in an instant despite her disguise because she was in her spirit form and this form allows her to see through the outer disguise that was put on by any spells. But it would be very hard for any other creature even for their fellow witches to be able to recognise Lilith to be a witch.

The disguise spell Lilith used was a spell that only witch queens could cast perfectly. Even her original appearance had been changed and not only that, her powers and aura were even tightly locked down and there were no fluctuations of her powers at all. Alicia had made sure that Lilith’s disguise was perfect before she left her. And since Lilith had been practicing the spell for quite a while now, she had finally perfected it.

Now that Alicia thought about it, the Lilith she saw a while ago really looked so human that if she could not see through that spell, she would have not even guessed Lilith was not human. With the way she looked and carried herself a while ago, no one would ever suspect that she was actually a witch.

In the past months, Alicia had made a decision and told Lilith and the other witches who were living in the Black Forest to start spreading outside of the forest. Alicia had decided on this because of the danger that might fall on them in the future. And because of the fact that in the memories she saw, all of the witches that had been killed that time were the ones living in the Black Forest. So just based off that, she had inferred that maybe it was time they did not just convene and gather just there and spread off.

Ezekiel had somehow managed to turn the Black Forest into his personal hunting grounds, and it seemed as though he must have found a way to immobilize the entire forest and that was why the witches, even the Queen, could not escape back then. That memory made Alicia decide to tell Lilith to have everyone leave the Black Forest for now and finally go outside and learn to blend in with the humans. Though it would be tough on them, they could only hope that the little hardship they are facing now would reap them more benefits in the future.

To Alicia, this was also a form of a precaution. Just so in case that one day, their enemy ends up coming after them, the witches were already scattered and not just centralised within the confines of the Black Forest itself. That way, the queen would also not be found in such an obvious place.

Many witches who were not living in the Black Forest were already doing that. Many of them had long since adapted and were living with the humans for a very long time now. Now it was time for the rest of the witches, the ones living with the Queen in the Black Forest to do the same. They must learn to live among the humans from now on, just like what the vampires were doing, and the witch queen herself would not be an exemption.

This was how Lilith ended up attending this school. When Alicia asked Lilith what she had wanted to do, Lilith had chosen to attend a school. Because to her, that was the easiest way for her to learn to live among the humans and at the same time, continue doing her duties as the current witch queen.

Lilith had reminded Alicia that she had to choose a big school that has a lot of secret places where she could hide and be alone to continue doing her duties during her spare times.

Alicia could say that this school Lilith had chosen was indeed a perfect place for her. The big and thick forest that surrounds the school’s perimeters was great and since the buildings itself were also really old, Alicia was certain that the buildings must also have secret underground dungeons as well. All Lilith needed to do was to find where they were and their entrances to access them.

That way, Lilith could perform spells and do what she wanted in secret while she is in those hidden places. Alicia must agree that no other place would have been more perfect than this. If only...

If only this also was not the school Kyle was attending as well! Why on earth did Ezekiel chose this place of all places?

Alicia could not help but worry now. She knew about Lilith and Kyle’s feelings for each other. So even if Alicia trusted Lilith, them meeting again here in this school, was the last thing that Alicia wanted to happen especially during these tense moments. What will happen if Ezekiel finds out that Lilith was also here in this same school with his brother?

She could only stare at Ezekiel who was now leisurely leaning his head against the head rest with his eyes closed. He was looking like a harmless statue again. But right now, his utter calm and composed manner was making Alicia feel a little uneasy.

"Calm down... you need to calm down..." Alicia mumbled to herself. "There’s no use worrying right now when nothing has even happened yet. It’ll be alright. Let’s just calm down and watch over this statue prince for now."

As Alicia was repeating this mantra to herself, a phone call echoed inside the car.

"Boss..." Lucas spoke.

"Who?" Ezekiel asked without opening his eyes.

"The mole you sent to spy on the mafia gang that is in charge in this city."

Ezekiel’s eyes opened and he stretched his right hand towards Lucas, palm opened.. Lucas put the phone on his opened hand and Ezekiel answered it.
