Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Brighter the Light, the Darker the Shadow (III)

Madam Harsetti chuckled seeing this little girl immediately lose her eagerness just because that cursed beast fell in love with someone else.

She used her cane to lift Aria’s head once again and said, "Don’t be sad, little girl. He might be in love with that woman, but that doesn’t mean he cannot fall out of love, or get bored of her. Because she is not his fated mate."

"Fated mate..."

"Yes, I told you that the cursed beast cannot identify his fated mate, right? However, the cursed beast will be drawn into a pure-hearted woman. Since that woman you mentioned before is also a witch, there is no way she has a pure heart. The first condition to be a witch is to have a dark heart full of hatred and self-loathing."

"Yes! There is no way that crippled woman has a pure heart! Her heart is filled with jealousy towards me, and also self-loathing because she has a deformed leg!" Aria insisted, which the Great Witch found funny because Aria only made it even more obvious that she had all the qualities she mentioned just now.

"Then, it won’t be difficult to steal the cursed beast from her. In fact, she might’ve used the same trick that I’m about to tell you," Madam Harsetti grinned. "If you want to make love with the cursed beast, then this is the only way to do it. Listen carefully."

Like a diligent student, Aria stared at Madam Harsetti in full focus, waiting for instruction.

"The cursed beast cannot identify his fated mate. But he is blindfolded, right?"

"Y-yes, he is blindfolded."

"That’s because his gaze will kill anyone on sight. If you ever stare at him right in the eye, your heart will stop beating instantly," Madam Harsetti explained. "The only one who will be immune to his eyes is his fated mate. I can teach you a spell that can turn you blind for ten seconds. With the help of an illusion, it will look like your eyes are functioning normally to other people. You can fool the cursed beast by asking him to take off his blindfold and stare at him with your blind eyes."

Aria was joyful knowing this secret, "Then please teach me that!"

"Careful, little girl. This spell is an advanced one. Not because it’s difficult, but because the cursed beast will nullify any illusion when he opens his eyes. You need to become a Great Witch first if you want to succeed. On top of that, you need to obtain something from his body as a requirement. It can be his hair, saliva, sweat, tears, or anything else," Madam Harsetti continued. "Do you know what the requirement is to become a Great Witch?’

"I need to sacrifice someone I truly love. It can be my parents, lover, or children," Aria repeated what she read in the Necronomicon. "But, Madam... I don’t understand what love is. How am I supposed to sacrifice my mother when I don’t even know if I love her or not?"

"That is your homework, little girl. One of the most important feelings for a witch is despair. Sacrificing your loved one is the biggest despair you will ever get. Try to learn how to love your mother before killing her, alright?" Madam Harsetti chuckled. "Don’t worry, I won’t let you leave this dream empty-handed. After all, fifty sacrifices is no small feat."
