Chapter 212 The Last Witch (17)
"Useless things! You can't do anything right! My good plan has been ruined by you bunch of rubbish! They're just a few lowly people, are they so difficult to manage, huh?!!"
More than half of the gypsy women were missing, so Viscount Santa Cruz was naturally furious.
He was busy eating, drinking and having fun every day. He never took the initiative to ask about how his subordinates plundered the gypsies or how they guarded them.
It was not until today when he got into such a big mess that he realized that his most trusted steward had been fooled around by a country woman.
The Grand Steward fell to the ground, allowing Santa Cruz to beat him with his cane.
After he had vented his anger, the chief steward raised his head slightly and spoke humbly.
"Your Excellency, although we have lost several women, the widow witch from the next village has special abilities and can help us deal with the church!"
"There are no real witches in this world! You've been by my side for so many years, are you getting senile? Just like those bastards in the church, making a fuss over the smallest things?! That bishop keeps talking about God being omniscient, almighty, and invincible. When have you ever seen a real miracle happen?!"
Viscount Santa Cruz was so angry that he stepped on the steward's head, causing his face to rub against the ground.
The chief steward knew that words were not enough, so he had to ask Shi Sui to come over and demonstrate her witchcraft.
The Viscount refused at first, as he was proud of his noble status and position, and disdained to meet a woman who played tricks on others.
The chief steward, for the sake of his own status, begged him again and again, and he reluctantly agreed.
Viscount Santa Cruz did not allow common people to enter the area where he usually lived and worked, so he asked someone to take Shisui to a remote garden. Then he sat on the terrace above the garden, set a table for afternoon tea, and the servants served him delicious food and drinks, looking down at him arrogantly.
…Tokiho entered the arena with slow steps.
There was nothing remarkable about her appearance or dress, and she did not perform the necessary formalities.
"Hmph, an uneducated country woman." Viscount Santa Cruz curled his lips in disdain.
The chief steward stood behind him, silently praying in his heart that Shi Sui would be more helpful.
He had worked diligently for more than thirty years, starting as a small servant and rising to the highest steward in the manor. He didn't expect to stumble at this age.
He called out to Shisui, "Perform the same trick you used in front of me and the wizard that day again for His Excellency the Viscount to appreciate."
Shisui, however, had a blank expression on her face, as if she hadn't heard him, and didn't move at all.
The chief steward became anxious and shouted several times in a row, but Shi Sui ignored him and did not respond.
Viscount Santa Cruz rolled his eyes.
"You've been fooled, haven't you? I've always said that these so-called wizards just make a living by being clowns. Only you would be fooled. In front of a true noble like me, she was so scared that she didn't dare to move. Hahahaha..."
With an incomparable sense of superiority, he closed his eyes, picked up the exquisite teacup, and slowly took a sip of the fragrant black tea.
"Pooh—so bitter—"
Viscount Santa Cruz took a sip and immediately spat out the tea in his mouth.
What is that in the cup? It's bitter, it's not black tea at all!
He quickly put down the teacup and saw that the tea in the cup had turned black without him noticing!
"Oh my god!!! What is this thing!!"
Viscount Santa Cruz's hand trembled, and he accidentally dropped the teacup with a bang, breaking it into pieces and spilling a black unknown liquid all over the floor.
That's not right... Before drinking it, he just put sugar and honey in the black tea as usual!
Could it be...
The Viscount couldn't help but stand up and look at Shisui in the garden.
Shi Sui's lips curled up slightly as she glanced at the dessert stand on his small tea table.
Seeing this, the Viscount also turned his gaze to the snacks at hand...
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, but you’ll be shocked when you do.
In that instant, all the exquisite snacks on the shelf turned into huge mice, scurrying out of the plates!
There was a commotion all around, and the timid maids were frightened and screamed by the rats that appeared out of nowhere.
This is not the end yet.
After the rats ran away, a basket of flowers used to decorate the table suddenly caught fire for no reason and quickly spread to Viscount Santa Cruz's sleeves.
"Fire! There's a fire!" He waved his sleeves in horror.
It was the chief steward who reacted first and immediately picked up the teapot on the table to put out the fire.
The boiling hot tea poured onto Viscount Santa Cruz's wrist, burning him so much that he cried out in pain, and ruined his expensive handmade suit.
Shisui didn't even get close, and didn't even move a finger, but she completed this incredible magic from a distance.
Viscount Santa Cruz widened his eyes, took two weak steps back, and then jumped up excitedly.
"Witch!! She's a real witch!! I've found a treasure! Hahaha!"
“…”
Shisui remained indifferent.
The chief steward secretly breathed a sigh of relief while ordering people to clean up the aftermath.
If possible, the chief steward really wants to ask his master... Does it hurt when he was hit on the face?
