This is going to be a semi-short chapter enjoy!

Lilith was still uncomfortable working with the new human captain she had brought to the emperor himself and now she was starring at the emperor after she had interrupted a conversation between him and that "Titan" so to speak as Lilith was sweating a bit before kneeling to him. "My Lord, forgive me for the interruption but it is important that I speak with you about an incident that happened recently involving the human."

"I know, he told me himself." Lilith slowly lifted her head up a bit. "He did?, well then I'm sure the proper punishment is already in order?" Lilith asked as the emperor turned his head sideways. "Punishment?" "Sir surly he told you on what he did with one of the witches that resisted." "He did and I approve of his actions."

"Oh, I'm grateful of... WHAT!?" Lilith said with a shout at the end of her sentence quickly apologizing as Belos explained his reasoning. "It has become clear to me that his actions were reasonable, you should be thankful he did save your life after all." Lilith stayed silent as the doors opened as Mateo walked out and bowed next to Lilith as Belos spoke. "Yes, captain step forward." Mateo did standing next to him as Belos turned his attention to Lilith.

"Lilith you are respected and of course, the main head of our coven but... your obsession and recent failures of apprehending the "Owl Lady" is something that can not be ignored which is why Kikimora and Mateo will take charge of the hunt for her while you simply tend your duties and if this is broken you... will... be removed from the coven and you know what happens to covenless witches don't you?"

Lilith sweated a bit before responding. "Yes... I understand." She was then dismissed to which she then went to her room pulling out a photo holding it close to her talking to her. "Edayln I'm sorry for ever doing this to you..." Soon there was a knock on her door. "Who is it?" "Steve, Madam Lilith." She opened the door for the young scout as a risky idea came to her mind. "Steve was it? Could you help me pack?" "Trip?" "Family visit should be more for a few weeks."

"I'll tell Kiki about..." "NO!, I mean it's more of a personal trip you understand right?" Steve nodded as he helped her as Lilith then looked at the brand on her arm before finishing packing everything in a sack, thanking steve before slowly walking away towards the bridge as the alarm rang out to which she then quickly ran before the bridge before it retracted as a few spears and arrows were fired while she continued running further into the forest until she screamed in pain and fell holding her wrist as the coven brand was slowly giving her pain.

Lilith then struggled to stand up despite the pain. "Running away coven head?" "Damn you little gremlin," Lilith said to kikimora who was simply using magic to cause the brand on Lilith to give her pain. "Just stop and maybe you won't be petrified." "And what? Let my sister take my place?"

"I was going to say forever imprisoned but your idea sounds better, now just come back will you?" Lilith simply ignored Kiki before using her left hand to make a small spell circle when a loud BOOM! went off followed by Lilith grunting a bit now holding her side as blood leaked from it before stumbling back and falling off into the rocky waters below as Mateo walked up and looked down while holding an old flintlock in his hand which was smoking a bit. "Anyone else wants to follow in her footsteps!?" He shouted as the soldiers then moved out of the way as he walked past them looking at kiki. "And if the emperor asks, just say she put up a fight."
