The Violet Fairy lowered her head slightly, pondering for a moment.
What kind of blessing could most effectively counter the Black Witch's curse at this moment?
Before she could voice her answer, the Little Magician suddenly mimicked the Violet Fairy's tone, saying in a solemn voice:
"Princess Aurora, even if your finger is pricked by a spinning wheel, you will not die, but only fall into a deep sleep. Everyone else in the kingdom will also fall into a deep sleep, not death. A kiss from someone who truly loves you will awaken you and break the curse!"
Under the astonished gaze of the Head Witch, the silver-haired boy turned to the Violet Fairy:
"Is this the blessing you suggested I bestow?"
"Ye…yes, that's right, exactly that!" The Violet Fairy stammered, momentarily stunned.
The Witch looked bewildered.
Huh?
How did you know what I was going to say?
I hadn't even said it yet!
Wait, no, I hadn't even fully thought it through, and you already thought of it for me?
The Violet Fairy felt that the content of the blessing Lord Rhine had given was impeccable.
It was exactly what she would have given after careful consideration.
She had no doubt that if she were in Rhine's position now, the blessing she offered would definitely be like this.
However, as a knowledgeable Witch, the Violet Fairy knew that some Magicians were skilled in mind-reading and prophecy magic, so she didn't think much of it.
Perhaps Lord Rhine also had expertise in this area?
The Violet Fairy bowed to Rhine, saying sincerely and excitedly:
"Lord Rhine, please bestow the blessing upon Princess Aurora, using the exact wording you just used!"
As a benevolent Witch, she, like the King, did not wish to see the curse come true.
Moreover, the Violet Fairy herself was a member of the kingdom, and thus a target of the curse!
The Black Witch herself was the one who cast the curse; she would certainly not be affected after leaving the kingdom.
But the Violet Fairy worried that she and the 12 Witches, and other residents of the kingdom, even if they left the kingdom, the curse would relentlessly pursue them!
At the same time, the King also cheered up:
"That's right, in addition to Lord Rhine's blessing, as the monarch of this country, I will also strive to prevent the conditions of the curse from being met!
"I will confiscate all spinning wheels in the kingdom and forbid the Princess from leaving the palace, absolutely not allowing my daughter to come into contact with a spinning wheel.
"As long as there are no spinning wheels, Princess Aurora will not be pricked by one!
"The Black Witch's curse will certainly not become a reality!"
Rhine summarized softly:
"So, everyone's opinion is: I will first bestow the blessing I just spoke of upon Princess Aurora, changing the 'death' brought by the curse to 'sleep'.
"Then, Your Majesty will confiscate all spinning wheels in the kingdom, starting from preventing the curse's conditions from being met.
"This way, we achieve double insurance.
"This is our way of countering the curse, correct?"
The King and the Queen, who was still shaken, along with the 12 Witches, all nodded.
This sounded like the best, and indeed the only, way to counter the curse!
Was there any other better blessing content?
Rhine sighed softly, not rushing to bestow the blessing immediately, but instead bowed to the King:
"Respected Majesty, before I bestow the blessing, do you wish for me to make a prophecy about the future?
"Do you wish for me to observe the future we will encounter after attempting to counter the curse in the manner described above?"
After hearing Rhine's words, the Queen suddenly remembered that when she first met the Little Magician, he had made an accurate prophecy.
"I almost forgot, our court Magician, Lord Rhine, is also a prophet skilled in prophecy and knowledgeable about the future!" The Queen said with surprise in her voice, introducing him to the Witches beside her.
The Witches and the King exchanged glances a few times, then turned to Rhine:
"Of course, please, Lord Rhine, attempt to make a prophecy."
Regarding what was called prophecy, the Violet Fairy, as the Head Witch, didn't actually care much.
She also knew some divination and prophecy techniques, so compared to ordinary people like the King and Queen, she herself knew clearly that so-called prophecy and divination were mostly useless!
The results obtained from prophecy were generally vague, fragmented words. More often than not, they led to misunderstanding and misleading rather than serving a purpose.
Rhine nodded slightly, secretly delighted.
He felt a fervent power of desire from the King and Queen before him—a craving for the unknown future.
He deliberately guided the King and Queen to make this request to actively create an opportunity to fulfill their "wish" and absorb their will power.
"Allow me to unveil the mist of fate and glimpse the truth of the future!"
The Little Magician was seen chanting a spell, his body floating slightly.
His wide cloak and robe moved without wind, his chin lifted, and his eyes shone with silver light.
He looks so powerful, I've never seen this kind of magic… The Violet Fairy secretly marveled.
A few seconds later, the young man slowly landed back on the ground, the silver light in his eyes gradually extinguishing.
"Respected Majesty, I have penetrated the mist of fate and seen the tableau of the future. Please allow me to show it to you all!"
