The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 189

Ansu City, St. Lawrence District, No. 14 St. Lawrence Square, Roswell Marquisate.

This was the most central area of Ansu City, where the powerful and wealthy gathered. It was also the location of Vitalis Palace, where the royal family resided. The Roswell Marquisate was only 0.8 kilometers away from the palace. It took only five minutes to walk to Vitalis Palace.

Today, the Roswell Marquisate welcomed an uninvited guest. Wherever this uninvited guest went, she encountered no resistance.

Knock knock knock—

On the fourth floor of the main building, in a quiet room furthest from the stairs, the door was opened after a few knocks.

Inside the room, Avena, with a refined appearance, was sitting at a small round table by the fireplace. Sitting opposite her were several noble young ladies of distinguished demeanor. They were sitting on cushioned chairs around the round table, seemingly engaged in conversation.

The sound of the door opening quickly attracted everyone’s attention in the room. The expressionless Avena glanced at the person standing at the door, then turned to the noble young ladies before her and said, “Then I apologize for disturbing you. If there is any news, please inform me immediately.”

The noble young ladies quickly stood up and hurried towards the door. As they passed the young girl at the door, they turned to the side, bowed their heads, and spoke with a hint of fear.

“Your Highness Princess Windsor.”

“Good afternoon, Your Highness Princess Windsor.”

“Your Highness…”

Windsor seemed not to be in the mood to bother with them. She just responded a couple of times, then moved aside, making way.

After the noble young ladies left, she forcefully closed the door, making a loud “thud—” sound.

“I deeply apologize, Your Highness Windsor. I was not informed of your visit beforehand and failed to welcome you properly.”

Avena slowly stood up and slightly bowed to Windsor.

Princess Windsor had a close relationship with the Royal Orchestra. Avena also wanted to get some information about Ciel from Windsor and had been trying to contact her, but had been refused with various excuses.

However, this time, Princess Windsor had actually come to her door in a rage, which made Avena somewhat confused.

These past few days, she had tried almost every method, but couldn’t get even the slightest news about Ciel… Now that her childhood playmate had shown up at her door, she didn’t want to miss this opportunity to inquire.

“Stop pretending!”

Windsor quickly walked to Avena, reached out and directly grabbed her by the neck, saying in a somewhat frantic tone, “Where is Ciel?! Where have you hidden her??”

“Uh…”

Avena, whose throat was clamped, couldn’t utter a single word. But she also didn’t dare to reach out and pull Windsor’s hand away, nor could she directly use her abilities to make her let go… She wanted to know Ciel’s whereabouts too much.

The person before her might know something. Avena didn’t want to offend the other party.

Only when Avena felt her vision turning black did Windsor push forward and release her hand.

Thud—

“Cough cough…”

The expensive antique upholstered chair was knocked over. Avena knelt on the ground, clutching her throat, coughing and retching.

“Ciel… Ciel?”

Avena hadn’t forgotten what she had just heard. She looked up at Windsor and asked somewhat in shock, “You… do you… know where she is now…?”

“Stop pretending, Avena. You’re the only ‘Psychiatrist’ in the entire noble circle. You are very intelligent, very capable, but I didn’t expect you would even dare to hypnotize me…”

Windsor picked up the silver dining knife on the round table and aimed it at Avena.

“Tell me, where is Ciel.”

Ciel… Where is she?

Wasn’t she captured by the Royal Orchestra?

Wait… Ciel escaped?

Why did Princess Windsor find her earlier than the Queen’s Sword and the Royal Orchestra?

Could it be that Ciel’s escape was due to this Princess’s mistake?

Upon hearing the news that Ciel had escaped, the stone that had been pressing down on Avena’s chest finally slowly lifted. She supported herself on the round table and stood up, saying calmly, “I don’t know what you are talking about, Your Highness Princess.”

“I hope your mouth is still this tough when the Holy Law Judgment Group arrives.”

Windsor said with a cold smile, showing four sharp canine teeth.

“I’ve already had someone notify them. You wait.”

Holy Law Judgment Group?

Shouldn’t she have asked someone from the Royal Orchestra or the Queen’s Sword to come?

Going the long way around, there was only one possibility.

Ciel’s escape was due to Windsor’s mistake.

And Windsor didn’t want the Royal Orchestra and the Queen’s Sword to know about this.

Reasoning this far, Avena had already thought of a strategy to buy time.

She would buy enough time for Ciel’s escape, for Ciel to get as far away as possible.

“So you’ve caused trouble again, Windsor.”

Avena’s lips curled up. She said with a fake smile, “Just like before, not as easy to manage as your sister.”

She wanted to create the illusion that she was under attack, to delay the interrogation.

The easiest way was to provoke Windsor and make her attack her.

She knew Windsor’s weakness very well. As long as she mentioned her sister, she would definitely lose her temper.

But this time, Avena was mistaken. Hearing her words, Windsor remained unusually calm.

She looked at Avena with a half-smile. After a long while, she slowly said, “Oh, right… You seem not to know that Ciel was imprisoned by me for almost a month, do you?”

“As expected of the woman Miss Roswell is interested in… Whether it’s her arm or her thigh, they are quite delicious to eat… Her blood is even better. Even the highest quality wine isn’t better than that, is it?”

“Oh, right. She also subtly inquired about you from time to time, and what were you doing? My dear Miss Avena? You were hosting tea parties?”

Windsor slightly raised her eyebrows and smiled, “When I find her, I must have a good talk about this.”

“You…!”

Avena’s fists clenched tightly. Dark purple light flickered in her pupils.

“Are you… attacking me, Miss Avena?”

The Substitute Death Relic on Windsor’s neck ignited with purple flames. Her body swayed slightly, then she raised the dining knife and aimed it at Avena.

“This act of self-defense, I will also truthfully report to the Holy Law Judgment Group.”

Swoosh—

The throwing knife was thrown directly by Windsor, fiercely stabbing towards Avena’s abdomen.

Swish—

But the throwing knife went directly through Avena’s body and was embedded firmly in the fireplace behind Avena.

Avena subconsciously reached out to cover her abdomen, but there was no wound on it. And Windsor was staring blankly at the dining knife in her hand, not knowing when it got there.

“Damn ‘Psychiatrist’…”

Windsor raised the throwing knife again, but this time, a hand grabbed the wrist of the hand holding the throwing knife.

Crack—

“Ugh—!!!”

Windsor’s wrist was broken. She instantly let out a scream. But the sound didn’t last long. The falling dining knife was caught by a hand and, from behind, was directly plunged into Windsor’s heart.

Hiss—

Thud—

Crack—

Hiss—

One stab! Two stabs! Three stabs! Four stabs!

The first stab pierced the heart. The second stab mangled the liver. the third stab shattered the spine. The fourth stab cut the carotid artery and trachea.

In just a second and a half, the person behind Windsor, with clean and decisive four stabs, deprived Windsor of any ability to resist.
