The years went by, some births happened in the meantime besides the first daughters of the three marriages like the birth of Tanya Braunchsbank Windsor on November 23, 1919, Hellen Windsor Braunchsbank on September 18, 1920, Maria Braunchsbank Windsor on June 9, 1921, Kelly Braunchsbank Windsor on August 28, 1922. These were the daughters of Hilda and Bianca, who after the end of the Great War in November 1918, moved to the German empire and from there they made daughter after daughter, even more so because they had the largest number of fertility stones, they still lacked 5 fertility stones, but at that moment they decided to use later with the intention of waiting a little before using that magic relic, since they would be full of daughters to take care of and thus would also be overloaded.
At the Cavendish family home, they eventually returned there as soon as they received the news that the Great World War was over, so they picked up and flew back to Scotland after almost a full year in Canada with little Adeleine. Cavendish also took the opportunity to perform the ritual of family leadership, which she did successfully, taking over for her sister Meredith, who could relax a bit from the responsibilities. In this time they also took the opportunity to rest a bit from the aftermath of the war before using the fertility stone. Besides the fact that Louise was about to start her career. But one day Diana decided to use the fertility stone again as soon as the 1920's started, since Adeleine was a little older. Being born on June 15, 1922 the second daughter named Marie Cavendish Du Nord and on June 14, 1923 Amelia Cavendish Du Nord was born, the two coming out of Diana. During this time Diana also decides to take away the force field that prevented Margaret from going there, since she felt it was unnecessary to continue with that expenditure of magic even more so since Cavendish was sure that her old friend should have changed a bit.
After the birth of their third daughter, Louise decides to tell Diana to stop using the fertility stone for a while, as she might run the risk of Du Nord herself ending up pregnant and she was in the middle of her career as a professional broom racer. In 1919 the World Broom Racing Championship eventually came back, but it wasn't until 1921 that things started to get interesting when Harriet and Freya decided to put a no-holds-barred regulation on brooms, where builders could make incredibly fast brooms, so fast they were extremely dangerous, the only restriction was not to pass the speed of sound, each year the brooms gained almost 50 km/h in top speed, what started at 600 km/h increased year by year, by 1923 the top speed was already around 770 km/h. In those years they had five runners who stood out were Giovanna Bianchi, Louise Du Nord, Tanya Wolff, Elisabeth McLaren and Anne Williams, all four were the fastest runners of that time. So much so that Louise and Giovanna practically traded championships among themselves. Until that time it was the Brazilian who held the most titles with 1919, 1920, 1922, and Tanya Wolff held the 1923 title, Louise was the one with only the 1921 title, but the few Du Nord titles were partly due to her bad luck, since many times she was almost winning and her broom broke in the middle of the race, which was common with almost all the witches on the grid who witnessed breaks, due to the brooms that were constantly going at the limit.
But in one place there was someone who was not at all happy to hear about these births, someone who was just planning something after making some notes, it was Margaret Ford who was getting full to continue in the residence of the immortal witch, although she has not demonstrated anything yet.
January 12, 1924, at Loch Ness in Farnese's cottage, Margaret was just finishing writing another book, until she was greeted by the immortal witch and at the time she ends up closing and hiding that book, which makes the blue-haired one a bit suspicious of Ford's reaction.
- What are you hiding that makes you get this way?
Says Farnese suspiciously.
- (You know what? Today the deadline has arrived, I have already collected the necessary information, I don't need to pretend to be a saint now... I can finally sink this sucker in the face).
- Nothing... Nothing of interest to you, you useless old woman.
Says Margareth as an aura of magic emanated around her.
- Margareth! You don't talk like that to older people.
Says Farnese trying to trim Ford as he walked backwards.
- Let's settle this once and for all Farnese, you and me, one fight, one result, if I win you let me leave in peace with the useless knowledge you gave me, if I lose I will become your mentor for the rest of your life.
Says Margareth in a fighting stance.
Farnese nods, the two then move to the outside, where it was a bit snowy, both witches stare at each other for a while, the immortal even showed a concern and fear, while Margaret was extremely confident in her abilities.
- (Damn... Margaret looks like she is going to win... I am very rusty, out of shape, even at 500, I have never been 100% dedicated to stay training, not since Diana I and Sarah Campbell have I trained in a more dedicated way... But this girl... This Margaret, she is a monster... Harriet! Why did you ask me to train this girl? She has not improved at all in these years, she is still the same person, I can feel it).
- Are you ready?
Says Margareth.
- Go ahead Margaret Ford, show me what you have to do, I've been waiting for the moment you would do this, but remember not to underestimate a 500 year old witch, I'm still extreme...
Farnese says until she feels a knee to the stomach that makes her kneel in so much pain.
- Talk less and attack more, that's what you taught me. Don't you remember?
Says Margareth.
Farnese quickly uses a spell to transport herself, to the point of appearing from behind Ford who just gives a very strong elbow which throws the immortal witch with everything backwards, in this throw the blue haired witch begins to cast several spells that hit and in full Margareth, but she remained unharmed, did not suffer with any attack, slowly the brunette begins to walk towards the Scottish who gives a mortal and falls standing in the snow.
- (Damn... I haven't even started and I already feel like I'm going to lose... This girl is not normal, this girl is a monster, this girl is beyond Sarah Campbell, I can feel it from afar, she is just playing with me, even Sarah didn't do that, Sarah took it easy... I am afraid that I am going to be tortured in this fight.)
- What was that immortal little witch? Your 500 years of experience are not keeping up with a 26-year-old woman? I thought you would be at a very high level.
Says Margareth slowly walking toward Farnese.
- (Pathetic, this woman is 500 years old and not even powerful, I felt this a lot when I was spending time here, when we trained combat I needed to hold my own against her or I could kill her... Even wearing clothes that restricted my magic, I could only fight her on equal terms with an extreme outfit that made me at least about 10 times weaker and still win).
Farnese starts to concentrate a spell, but Margaret continues to walk towards her in a slow and intimidating way, the immortal was extremely terrified, that spell that accumulated energy was getting bigger with each passing second, even generating a vortex around it, but Ford kept making light of it. Until the blue-haired witch hurled that ball of magic with everything in the brunette's direction, causing an explosion so intense that it melted all the snow in a 50-meter radius around that explosion. So much so that Farnese was thrown with everything by the spell itself and fell with her back on frozen parts of the lake, which caused the thin layer of ice to break and she fell into the extremely cold water of the lake.
- (I hope that solved something... I used almost all my power in that... I risked a lot, I'm going to get out of here soon before I die of hypothermia, it's not because I'm immortal that I can't die from hypothermia... Damn).
Farnese swims to the surface, but when she reaches the shore, she comes across Margaret with her foot resting on the immortal's forehead, who immediately stares at her with a mischievous smile while the blue-haired girl keeps spitting out some water, luckily the brunette hadn't done anything, she just kept watching the immortal agonizing in that extremely cold water and kept her foot resting there.
- You are pathetic, I should honestly put your immortality to the test right now.
Says Margareth pointing the palm of her hand at Farnese who closes his eyes.
For a while Ford almost cast a spell with all her power towards the immortal, but it turned out that she didn't instead she took her foot off Farnese's forehead and waited for her to open her eyes where she hit the witch with a full kick, hitting her right in the nose which made her sink into the icy water again, this time with a broken and bleeding nose, after this kick the brunette even turns around and walks to the cabin.
- (What a pathetic opponent, but I'm glad she is, so it just gives me hope that I'm getting more and more powerful, so I can put my plan into action... From what I could tell Diana is with 3 daughters, one being the Du Nord freak and the other two are babies still, and I am sure they will be very useful to me).
Until after a while when Ford was getting close to the cabin, she is hit in the back by a spell much more powerful than the previous one Farnese cast, so much so that the immortal was panting, with her legs wobbly on the snow and in a short time she even falls on the ground fainted, since that was all the magic she could use to finish with Margareth, only that as soon as the smoke of all that explosion dissipates, the brunette was unharmed, only her back was exposed since her clothes were torn due to the powerful spell cast on her, so much that the Englishwoman looks back and sees that the immortal was on the ground completely unconscious.
- (Pathetic! This immortal witch doesn't deserve this title, I thought all witches were powerful, but this one is just a relaxed girl, she doesn't deserve to be a witch... Or I am too powerful, but I guess not, since I came here when I was 15 I was already more powerful than her, anyway, I'm out of here, I have a plan to put into action, I have money to recover and take as mine, I'm already 26 years old, I hope no one has destroyed my fortune).
Margaret then goes to the inside of the hut where she packs her bags, takes all the books she wrote during those 11 years, her broom and leaves the Farnese residence heading south, so much so that she even sees the immortal's body lying on the ground and looked at her with a look of superiority. From there she would leave for Leeds, where she would take over the property of her family's residence. She arrives at the family residence in a matter of a few minutes and as soon as she lands and enters the house, she is eventually greeted by the servants who bow to Ford.
- Miss Ford! You are back!
Says one of the employees.
- All right, tell me who has taken over the savings for the time being and if this guy is here.
Says Margareth.
The employees soon take Margaret to the office where one of Margaret's father's trustworthy men was sitting in an armchair and is soon shocked to see Keith's daughter appearing, he even thought that the brunette would never return and that he would be the owner of all that fortune, the girl quickly sits down and faces the gentleman who was smoking a cigar.
- Put that shit out and stop smoking in front of me! We are going here to do business! Herald.
Says Margaret casting a spell that extinguished the man's cigar.
- Margaret Ford... I...
Says Herald a little surprised until Margaret answers him.
- You didn't expect me to come back because my father died? You thought I wouldn't want to take what is rightfully mine, but I am not here to take away your paradise in life, I know how much you appreciate what you have built with my scrotum of a father and the entire FPC industry and that is why I am here to give you an offer you can't refuse.
Says Margareth.
- An offer? Will you let me keep a share of the fortune?
Says Herald even more surprised.
- Two and a half million pounds and the deed to the mansion in my name, the rest is all yours from the Ford family estate, I don't give a shit about the fucking assets of the controlling company, I'm not interested in wasting my time managing that fortune, so I want you to have all the rest.
Says Margaret while Herald is dumbfounded.
- Yo... Are you... sure... Margaret... Ford?
Says Herald until Margaret answers him again.
- Whether you accept it or not, you continue to get rich as normal and I have my quiet life, without having to be disturbed with negotiations and all that shit involving the stock market, I have no need to continue my life with this kind of boring crap.
Says Margaret until Herald shakes Ford's hand.
- Thank you so much Margaret Ford! I am so grateful for your kindness! I don't know what I can do to thank you so much for giving me this privilege! I promise I'll do the...
Says Herald until Margaret interrupts him again.
- Just go to the fucking notary's office and sign some documents and never appear in front of me again.
Says Margaret snorting.
Margaret and Herald go together to the Leeds notary's office, where Ford does the whole process of signing the documents, besides transferring everything related to FPC to the man, since she didn't want to take care of this kind of thing, besides keeping two and a half million pounds deposited in a savings account in the brunette's account. After everything is signed, Herald shakes Margaret's hand again and with the documents in hand, he gets in the car and leaves. Ford takes her broom and goes back to the residence where she is again welcomed by all the employees who bow to her.
- My Miss Ford... How nice to see you here again! Will you be staying here for good?
Says one of the employees.
- I will stay, but first I have to cut some costs, so I will send some of you away, I don't want to lose all my money because of employees.
Says Margareth as the employees knelt down in fear.
- Please, Miss Ford! Don't fire us.
Says one of the employees.
- I am just playing with you, you will still be working here, the family has enough to pay all your salaries for 20 years, so do a great job and don't bother me, now I will go to my room and I don't want to be disturbed, but I will fire all the men here, I don't want to see a man in this house anymore!
Says Margareth.
The men employed began to bow to Margaret begging her not to be fired, but she simply ignored it and left, walking towards the office, they followed her, she left a cake of money on the table and divided it among each of the men.
- Take this money and get out of here, I don't want to stay away from my perfect paradise.
Says Margareth.
The same men who were desperate even looked with happiness at that huge sum of money, it was a sum of 1000 pounds for each one, it was the equivalent to the annual salary of the employee who earned the most in the house, in this case the driver. After laying off 35 men and making a loss of 35 thousand pounds, Ford starts hiring only women for the services in her house and added that they should be very liberal.
This hiring of only women was partly because Margaret wanted to be able to walk around the residence totally naked and take advantage of every corner to practice some orgies among the maids. The youngest and prettiest were always selected, while the older ones were little by little dismissed, so much so that little by little the residence became known as a lesbian brothel practically, since even among the maids there was something going on.
Margaret as the days went by was planning in her hiding place about her plan that she would start to put in action, a plan that involved all the Cavendish family, so much that in a specific day, she realized the first part of this same plan that was secretly steal a fertility stone and use it on Diana, while she was disguised as Louise, this time Ford was able to disguise the scars better since she was able to heal her body for a whole thanks to Nessie's saliva. With that the Scottish girl unwittingly made off with the English girl disguised as Louise without even knowing of Margaret's return, it had only been 4 days since she had left Loch Ness. Which was unexpected by Ford in having done this of getting pregnant with Diana precisely.
See you, Ford witch...
