“The Maid went out on a mission to start recruiting disciples and members. The woman taught some Witchcraft, and others without gifts became members

Wow!Jeslyn was short of words. This feels like… 

Yeah. It was indeed a huge conspiracy by the Witch to create a world for herself and her kindThose members were made to believe they were getting groomed to fight men who betrayed them. Unbeknownst to them, they were being raised as the Witch’s disciples

Meanwhile, Zucchini’s exfiance was still looking for the Witch but had no idea where she had disappeared to. His reason for wanting to kill her was because the woman was prophesied to be his downfall

The King of the land rewarded the hidden Magician with his daughter for his excellent service of getting rid of Witches from the Kingdom. But unfortunately, the King had no idea he had let a serpent into his home

The King had only one Princess and numerous Princes. The Magician knew that he wouldn’t be able to get the throne if he didn’t do something, so he killed the whole family, claiming the last Witch did

Enraged, the whole Kingdom set out to kill the Witch no matter what. But before that, the Magician, being the Princesshusband, was crowned the King

The Army went after the remaining witches but some still got away and continued to carry forward their Master’s desire

Those remaining witches who were in hiding couldn’t initiate women anymore, so the senior Witch brought the idea of bewitching me

Those disciples found men to impregnate them, and their daughters took over after their mothers. died. After decades, the disciples became numerous and the cult flourished once more, but unfortunately, some ladies couldn’t help their hearts from falling in love

To combat that, the Doyenne of that time introduced the idea of initiating new members from the day they were born. It was a good idea until some girls were unappealing to men because they were not beautiful

The Doyenne who came after was quite pretty and intelligent, so she passed down a new rule- the more stunning the child as they grow, the higher their position, so mothers made sure to look for handsome men to procreate with

It became a competition that some members started stealing each other’s inen or allowing one man to procreate with many of them, brewing stepsisters all over the cultby the way, that was how your grandmother and the present Doyenne of the Halfheart became siblings.” 

What?!Jeslyn exclaimed in shock

Yes. When your greatgrandmother approached your greatgreatgrandfather, the man immediately fell in love with her and also forced your greatgrandmother to reciprocate the love. However, because he was the most handsome man then, other women from the cult also wanted him, but the man was strongwilled and disciplined because he was a Zhu, a Military family whose men were not 

allowed to mistreat their wives
