"I am her, and she is me; she is just asleep right now!"

“I am a witch, as the villagers have probably told you, but I am a witch who does not know witchcraft. My mother did not teach me witchcraft before she died!”

"There is a strange power within me, and after my mother died, this power became increasingly restless until I could no longer suppress it!"

Vivian wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with her other hand.

"Is this why you chose to disappear? You didn't want to hurt the villagers?"

Joey, however, developed a liking for Vivian's young mother because the reason for her disappearance was completely different from what he had expected. He thought Vivian's disappearance was the beginning of murder, but the truth was that she disappeared because she didn't want her hands to be stained with blood.

"Although I harbored resentment, I never had the thought of killing them all. It wasn't because I was so kind; it was just that I was thinking about the child in my womb at the time!"

Vivian's eyes dimmed slightly, as if the painful memories had returned to her mind.

"That monster is a manifestation of the power within you. If you kill it, you will also die?"

Joey made this guess based on Vivian's words.

She didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

How can I help you?

Joey wasn't really a helpful person, but he still felt compassion after seeing Vivian's plight.

"Kind traveler, you can't help me. Take your friends and leave quickly!"

Vivian urged Joey to leave again.

"Why don't you tell me how you can be helped? Really, this is for your child!"

Joey glanced at the sleeping baby and carefully asked Vivian again to tell him how to save her.

"I need royal blood, not much, just a little bit, enough to suppress the restless power within me!"

Vivian smiled. She didn't expect Joey to actually bring her royal blood; she was simply touched by Joey's sincerity.

“Royal blood is indeed a bit difficult to obtain. These important figures can probably only be encountered in Baron City. Moreover, even if they are encountered in this area, they may not be willing to give up their blood to lift the curse of this red-haired witch.”

Joey's expression also turned sour. When she realized that she was powerless and could only watch helplessly as a bystander, she felt a great sense of loss.

He is now completely unable to obtain royal blood for Vivian.
