Chapter 424 Councilwoman- Part 3

Parents of the dead children appeared and like Lord Alexander had told, the situation was nothing better. There was pain and sorrow. Rage over the loss and the state they received their children back. Everyone did their job well but the witches knew when and what to do when to pick the people and where they would find them as the humans slipped when it came to looking after and knowing what was going to happen.

The magistrate was brought back but taken away after the white witches had appeared at the cemetery with their books, cross and holy water to perform the exorcism. After the ritual of exorcising was done, the children were finally buried in the cemetery. The parents stayed longer, watching over the headstones while refusing to leave right away.

With their work done, Damien and the others left the cemetery and Penny asked,

"Will the magistrate be executed?"

"It is only the right thing to do. He could have caused chaos if we didn't appear in time to question and take away the spitgrass that he was going to trade with," Damien's answer came out to be empty, unaffected with what they saw and did. The carriages which had been used to bring the children over to the cemetery had gone for a wash while fresh new carriages from the town had been assigned for them to leave in.

"What about compensation?" she asked him, "The woman had no family to take care of her."

"Alex will settle them with some coins for their losses. It should suffice them, at least for now or for the future."

"Okay," she breathed out, getting into the carriage and heading back to the mansion. Penny sat quietly as the rest, her mind still full of what she saw and experienced. The death in the cemetery reminded her of the time when she had to bury her mother months ago. The loneliness she had felt with no one to take care of her or love her, she had felt the pit of emptiness until her aunt and uncle had appeared to take care of her.

It wasn't that she wanted someone to take care of her back in the day
