   ". Fine my King , may I ask why I have a peasant child at our table and a witch at my  table???". Linda asks angry for a witch to be at their table , witches and demons have been  sworn enemies for thousands of years .

   ". Well read their minds , since you are so busy" Bruce said , anger rushing through his veins thinking his Linda might be cheating on him or something else but why all the lame things .

    " The boys is strong in Druid magic has a mind wall while the witch is wearing a charm I can't access any ". Linda says not minding the last word of Bruce sentence

   " Okay, let me give the introductions this is Lewis Herbert, however he is now Lewis Linus my son --". Bruce said patting the teenage boy's head

    ". Your son , you have a son !!!" Linda said and got up

   " But he isn't, he doesn't look lik  you , neither has your sent , I --". Linda suddenly gets access to the boy's mind and she sees the events of today unfolding as she wanted to pry more the boy shit her out .

   " I think you have seen enough your highness" Lewis said smiling

   " O! , don't bother" Linda says composing her posture

   ". And about the witch " Linda says pouring some wine in her glass

   ". She is --" Bruce was about to speak when Leonora spoke

   " Let me introduce myself your majesty, I am princess Leonora of the witches kingdom, daughter of Queen Margery the second and Late King Hemlock the third .". She said and sat down

   ". What business do you have with the Druids??" The question popped up from no other than Lewis , everyone was surprised and Linda smiled she likes this kid , maybe she shouldn't be too judgey nowadays .

   ". You have no right to speak boy !!!" Leonora shouted not liking his tone

   " O !!, yes he does , he is my son and the future king to this kingdom, if you have a problem with him then you have a problem with me ". Linda said angrily her demonic aura becomes dangerous and easily noticed, not liking the way Leonora threatened Lewis.

   ". You're a demon!!!" Leonora said shakily, her mother warned her about them, they are vile creatures , maybe that why the king could control them he had a wife who was one .

    ". Yes , I am a Vile creature, I am Valtara ( Vahl- tah- ruh ), the countess of my kind , a soul devourer among with other gifts, now answer the boy's question sweetheart" Linda says dangerously

   Leonora now wishes why she came , Linda read her thoughts few minutes ago because she let her guard down and her wall unprotected.

   ". My mother , Queen Margery the second, wants to make an alliance with  the Druids, seeing the past king didn't agree with her offers back then , she was fascinated by the demons , his majesty used in making the kingdom surrender before his eyes that even the supernatural council didn't come to object in this matter " Leonora explained

    " she wants our kingdoms  to work together, she wants is to share resources, she wants us to conquer worlds together, Druids and witches together, fighting the demon's" Leonora concluded

   ". Then the witches conquer us after gaining our trust , stabbing us in the back " Lewis concluds the unlikely bad ending making Leonora want to kill him

   " I highly doubt that , Lewis " Leonora says

    " Well , let your mother speak ". Bruce says at last , he was proud of Lewis and Linda , for protecting Lewis and maybe taking liking to him .

   A mirror appeared beside Leonora with Queen Margery on it

   " Hope I am mirror present my Lord " the Queen said

  " Loud and clear , concerning the alliance, I think it is something I would like to talk to you one on one " Bruce says firmly

   ". Nothing needs to be discussed your grace , tell me how much you want and I will pay for your demon army " the Queen offers

   ". I don't take money like that, I don't own an army Queen Margery, I am  the army". He says and breaks  the mirror with his hand .

    Leaving Leonora in shock as the trio left the dinner room In a smile.
