The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 261

"Keep watch on Shanel and if there is anything that is about to go wrong, protect her. Help her in secret with whatever she does."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Sooner or later, he would be able to meet his daughter once more.

Just as Gregor thought that everything was over, the leader of the King's knights once again appeared in his chamber.

"Crown Prince, His Majesty has summoned you to his study."

Gregor frowned inwardly, but had no choice but to receive the summon. While wondering what new kind of torture the King had cooked up, he went to the King's study where King Tredor was waiting for him.

From his grave expression, it was clear that he was waiting to drop one more shocking news at him.

Gregor formally bowed to him. "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

King Tredor gazed at him without a word, and it was his aide who was standing next to his desk who responded to the greeting. The aide opened the scroll he was holding in his hand.

"Gregor Valor, kneel before the royal edict given by His Majesty King Tredor, the 23rd King of Valor."

The Crown Prince kneeled with a bad premonition.

"From this moment onward, records of Sephina Valor, the second wife of Gregor Valor, will be erased from the royal annals and archives. Anything related to her and the child she had given birth to will be erased from the records of the royal family accordingly, and it will be prohibited by the laws of the land to bring up her and her child's existence.

"In accordance with this, Gregor Valor, you are refrained from ever acknowledging the existence of the cursed child, regardless if she happens to survive or not. Contact, be it direct or not, will constitute treason against the crown. If any of your men are spotted doing so, you will be held responsible as a criminal of the highest offence.

"From this moment on, the cursed child on that mountain is nobody to you. As an evil thing ordained to bring destruction to the kingdom, you are ordered to use all means to kill that child the moment she leaves the mountain that suppresses her evil tendencies or the moment she fulfils her evil destiny and harms the people of this land.

"On the instance that you fail to follow the words written in this royal edict, Gregor Valor will be stripped of his title as the Crown Prince and would be declared as a traitor who committed the crime of treason. As punishment, the traitor along with his family would be given the death penalty and executed in public."

A bitter chuckle echoed inside the study.
