Chapter 204: Chapter 204: BLACKEY

With everyone backed away, avoiding the side where Calista was staring, they all nervously waited for another monster to come out and shock the life out of them.

Whitey’s identity had shocked them and now hearing the hissing, they all knew that whatever Blackey was, this thing was a snake for certain.

And surely their premonition was true. Moments later, they saw a very small black snake slithering all the way towards Calista.

This was the first time that everyone was seeing Calista’s second pet. They had never heard about it at all.

Even Orson was quite surprised as he looked at the small snake.

After seeing Whitey’s transformation, he didn’t believe that this Blackey was that small. He should be enormous, like Whitey, right?

Among the villagers, there was a certain young girl who once saw something scary when Calista was still living in her treehouse. She was the one who went to call Calista when that man who claimed to be her first husband came to cause chaos in the village.

She saw a very huge snake, and she would never forget that black monstrous snake for the rest of her life.

After seeing the kitten transforming into something similar, her first thought was that the snake might belong to Calista. Honestly, she had never told anyone about that matter at all. She was too scared and afraid that no one would believe her.

Even if they did, what if that snake came for her?

Since it let her leave in one piece, it meant that it didn’t want her, so why provoke it?

And now, seeing this version of a black snake, her body trembled with fear.

’Thank goodness, I stopped causing trouble back then!’ she praised the deities as she saw Calista crouching down so that the snake could slither on her hand.

Everyone’s body shuddered. That was the first time that they had seen a woman being so intimidated by a snake.

Snakes were dangerous and poisonous. With a single bite, they would be holding a funeral of the person bitten. So how could someone keep a snake?

Apparently, there was someone who dared. And she just happens to be the person they used to talk nonsense about for years.

Did they regret what they did?

They did and at the same time felt grateful that they stopped with their attitude and were now very close to her.

The men were even more scared seeing that. They weren’t that courageous to keep such beasts with them, and yet Calista could. If she could do something like that, then didn’t it mean that she was capable of doing anything?

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" Blackey complained about something as soon as he was coiling around Calista’s wrist.

Whitey’s big head also turned to look at Calista as he hummed something.

Orson and Hayes watched this conversation between the three, and realization started dawning on them.

They had watched many times when Calista would talk to the kitten and thought that she was just too lonely to talk with it. After all, how could a human and an animal communicate?

However, when they saw how Calista furrowed her brows after hearing what the two just talked about as she looked towards the carriage that Orson had leapt out from earlier, they understood that she might have been really talking with them.

If that was the case, Orson saw the puzzle pieces coming together.

There were so many times he felt like he was being watched whenever he met his shadow guards during the time he was with Calista. At other times, he even heard the hissing sound and looked for the snake, but never found it.

It was probably this snake which kept a closer look on him and reported everything to Calista. Thinking back to it now, he suddenly felt like a fool. It was so embarrassing and at the same time, he felt used and played with.

Why did she play along with his act when she knew the truth?

Was he a joke in her eyes?

He was filled with all these kinds of questions and wanted answers. However, when he felt her gaze on him, and that murderous glint flashing through her eyes, he knew that he might need to wait a bit longer before he could ask.

Calista was angry again, and this time, he didn’t know why she was like that.

"You ..... did you just come here because of those two dying girls inside?" Calista couldn’t believe it.

No wonder why Orson dared to return.

She even thought for a moment that he regrets ditching her. That’s why he came. But to think that if those girls weren’t dying, she wouldn’t even see him, Calista was so angry a sinister thought flashed through her mind.

Orson, seeing that he had been exposed, though it was shocking how she knew of that, he decided to be upfront about it.

He had already lost enough face in front of so many people, so why not continue on the same path?

"Cali, I ...." Orson clenched his fists as he looked at her before he dropped to his knees, a very startling move to his guards, men and even Calista who was watching all that, "those girls are my daughters. In implore you, Cali, please save them!" and he begged Calista.

That was the first time in his life that he begged someone on his knees. Honestly, Calista was so angry at first. After all, Vaani came out and called her names and now with Blackey’s arrival, she learnt that there were dying girls in the carriage.

That alone was enough for her to know the reason why Orson came to her. But to think that they were his daughters, and they were dying.

On top of that, for them, this heartless man was ready to lose his face and beg on his knees. Calista found herself cursing the sorceress, who might have sent him back to her again.

Was that darn cloaked woman playing with her?

Thud. Thud. Thud.

"Please, save our mistresses!"

Calista wanted to hate Orson so badly but with him on his knees right now, and those men of his following suit and echoing his words, Calista for the first time that day was at a loss for words for real.

How was she supposed to deal with this?
