Chapter 247: Foolish Ambition

"But we can talk about that later on," said Killian. "For now, let’s start with your name."

Still tremoring from head to toe, the witch licked her split lips and winced slightly. "My name is Macie." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Macie," echoed Killian with a bland smile. "That’s a lovely name. I don’t hear such names a lot these days. Well, Macie, tell me what and why you were trying to do by kidnapping Inez? I don’t think your boss wanted her for a cup of tea or an invitation would have sufficed."

"It was just a job, nothing personal," replied the witch in a shaky voice. "A wizard came to me and said that if I brought her with me, then I could have the protection of the Great One. You don’t know how it is to live in the human world while being chased and hunted down by your kind. So naturally I took the job."

"I swear I never wanted to hurt her because they wanted that woman to be intact."

Killian’s jaw hardened when he heard her words. What did she mean by intact? He turned to look at the witch behind him and questioned, "Do you have any idea why they wanted her intact and unharmed?"

Tracy raised her head and met his gaze head-on. Just when he thought that the woman would ignore him, he heard her say, "Usually only sacrifices are kept unharmed because any scar on their body is counted as something unacceptable. A witch will never sacrifice something whose blood has already been shed. A sacrifice needs to be perfectly fine."

Killian stiffened before turning to look at Macie. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is this why you wanted her?"

"I don’t want her. And I had no idea what they wanted from her, I swear." Macie shook her head with a terrified sort of glance. "I was just given strict orders to keep the woman unharmed, and other than that, I have no idea what they wanted to do with her. Whether she was going to be sacrificed or something, I didn’t have a clue about it. I swear to the Night Goddess."

"You really don’t know what that great one of yours wanted her for?"

"Of course I don’t. We halflings are only given orders by our leader, and he asked me to retrieve that woman."

Standing upright, Killian dropped his gaze. "What do you mean by ’retrieve?"

"I live in the underdeveloped regions of the city. You all call these regions unregistered. The ones that are neither accepted by the government nor the people, because they see us as outsiders. Since there is no mayor, a leader is selected by the halflings, and he is the one who oversees everything that goes on in the Unregistered city. He gives us commands, and we are supposed to follow them."

"The witches and wizards come to our leader when they want the help of the halflings. Our leader would then choose one of the strongest witches or wizards and send them to do the bidding. This time he chose me, but I failed in my mission."

"And who is this wizard who asked you to bring Inez?"

"I don’t know. I never saw him; I was just told to follow the command. But my leader might know who this person might be."
