Royal Secret: I'm a Princess!-Chapter 898 THE LAST BLACK WITCH

DAHLIA wanted to come near Prince Nero and check on his condition.

Unfortunately, the wall of ice around him prevented her from doing so.

[His Imperial Highness' Soul Beasts are also going out of control.]

But that wasn't her biggest concern at the moment.

Dahlia could see the hundreds of souls that Prince Nero had taken in.

[They're all angry!]

It wasn't like she didn't understand.

Prince Nero should have been more careful.

[Even though he's a Roseheart, he's still a de Moonasterio!]

Dahlia's thoughts were interrupted when the fake Nero Roseheart, who turned out to be a "de Minister bastard," laughed in delight.

[Right, he's still here.]

The ice that froze the fake melted when Prince Nero suddenly lost it.

In fact, the snow on the ground that piled up after the Crown Prince created a snowstorm had already melted, too.

[How can I help Prince Nero…?]

"I knew his arrogance would kill him!" Sergius de Moonasterio, the fake Nero Roseheart, rejoiced. "Thank goodness the de Moonasterions are born arrogant."

She couldn't deny that, but that wasn't the time to agree with an enemy.

"Do not rejoice yet, de Moonasterio," Dahlia said, opening her hand to summon her wand as her eyes glowed menacingly. "I'm still here– and I'm more than enough to stop you."

"You're a Black Witch. You must have been harboring grudge against the de Moo– mff!"

Sergius de Moonasterio wasn't able to finish his sentence because Dahlia shut him up– literally.

Just one flick of her wand and the fake's mouth was forcefully zipped up.

"Not another word, Sergius de Moonasterio."

The ex-emperor looked shocked when she called him by his real name.

"I don't need you to talk to me to obtain the information I need from you anyway," Dahlia said coldly. Then she pointed the end of her wand at the water below Sergius de Moonasterio's feet. "I can just take a peek at your recent memories."

She specified that she would be only looking at his 'recent' memories.

After all, she didn't want to see the cruel emperor's past.

Dahlia's concentration was a bit interrupted when, suddenly, Sergius de Moonasterio charged at her– his sharp red eyes glowing menacingly.

She didn't get intimidated, though.

[He doesn't have the same scary aura that Emperor Nikolai, Princess Neoma, and Prince Nero possess.]

Moreover, she had her Elemental Guardian.

"Lapiz."

Her Elemental Guardian, in the form of a large Blue Whale, appeared above Sergius de Moonasterio after a huge shadow cast over him.

But it was too late.

"Crush him."

Lapiz unceremoniously and unapologetically crushed Sergius de Moonasterio with its weight– a quake followed hard when the blue whale hit the ground. After all, it weighed a lot. Even a sturdy barrier would break under its weight.

If the de Moonasterion could scream, he probably would have.

But since Dahlia literally shut Sergius de Moonasterio's mouth with her spell, only the sound of his body breaking was heard.

Blood spilled immediately, but she tried to ignore it.

[I'm not sure if there's any left of his body.]

She said 'body,' but it was more probably like a shell similar to a human body. After all, Sergius de Moonasterio was just a Spirit. He probably just used a vessel to do things that he needed to do with a physical body.

And Dahlia was correct.

"How dare you!"

It was Sergius de Moonasterio in his Spirit form, floating above Lapiz.

The former emperor could now speak because the spell that Dahlia used only applied restrictions on his physical body.

[But I already expected this– and it's actually easier to handle him now.]

Sergius de Moonasterio raised his hand, gathering his energy in the palm of his hand. "I'll make you regret making an enemy out of– argh!"

Dahlia didn't let the former emperor finish talking.

With just one wave of her hand, semi-transparent black thorny vines materialized and wrapped themselves around the former emperor. The thorns all over the vines pierced through Sergius de Moonasterio's soul– making him scream.

Blood didn't gush out, but the former emperor's soul was obviously damaged by her attack.

"How?" Sergius de Moonasterio asked in disbelief, heaving his breath as if he were trying to manage his pain. "How can you harm me when I'm in my Spirit form?"

"Simple– it's because I'm a Black Witch," Dahlia said confidently, her lavender eyes glowing. "And I am the last weapon left by my ancestors to annihilate an evil de Moonasterio like you."

Sergius de Moonasterio laughed as if he didn't believe her. "A mere child like you– mff!"

Once again, she didn't let the former emperor finish his sentence.

"You do not have the right to insult me when your life is in the palm of my hands," Dahlia said, waving her hand in a refined yet slightly aggressive way. "I, the last Black Witch, shall banish your soul and send you to your Eternal Damnation, Sergius de Moonasterio."

'Exile' and 'Eternal Damnation.'

Those were the two attack CURSES that the Black Witches could use to kill the de Moonasterios.

It would be hard for a Black Witch to fight a de Moonasterio physically.

Hence, in order to kill a de Moonasterio, they must find a way to separate the de Moonasterio's soul from their body. And then the Black Witches would curse the de Moonasterion souls to be banished.

Finally, the Black Witches would curse the de Moonasterios to Eternal Damnation.

And as a result…

"AAAHHH!!!"

That was Sergius de Moonasterio's loud and anguished scream as his entire soul began to burn.

Yes, the former emperor's soul was now burning.

The two-toned flame– red and lavender– started to burn Sergius de Moonasterio's feet. Then the two-toned flame quickly swallowed the former emperor's lower part, then the torso, and soon…

"I curse you, wench!" Sergius de Moonasterio screamed at the top of his lungs while his neck was getting burned by the two-toned flame. "I curse you to die the most gruesome death, you blasted Black Witch!"

Dahlia just laughed softly as Sergius de Moonasterio's head completely burned. "You can't curse the Master of Curses, Sergius de Moonasterio."

Just like that, the horrible former emperor was finally burned to ashes.

Dahlia made a sincere curse while watching the ashes quickly disappear into the air.

[I hope you never find peace, Sergius de Moonasterio.]

***

THE PLAN was simple.

According to the memories that Dahlia saw from the piece of soul that she stole from Sergius de Moonasterio, the Third Calamity would begin once the Soul Beasts were sent out to the outside world.

[It must mean the human world.]

Once the Soul Beasts reached the "surface," every single human being in the world would receive the memory of how Sergius de Moonasterio ate the flesh of the male Rosehearts after tormenting their victims.

That horrible memory would then plant a seed of hatred into the hearts of every person in the world. Moreover, most people might even lose their minds.

The purpose was to probably create a mass hysteria.

[And make people hate and condemn de Moonasterios.]

"Freeing the Soul Beasts by sending them out to the human world is, in fact, the wrong answer to this test," Dahlia said while looking at Prince Nero who was still in a state of losing his mind. She let out a sigh. "Should I unseal my power...?"
