My Flirtatious Hubby's Ghoulish Requests - Chapter 1 - Begone, Witch!

Katherine Solace

Urgh, my head hurts.

Katherine Solace

It's way too warm to be out in a cloak like this.

I've been called a witch ever since I was little.

Because of my snow white hair and the fact that I didn't know my father was the main reason I was bullied in my youth.

Child A

My mommy says that you're an illegitimate child and that you should have never been born!

Child B

My mommy says that you're a witch and that you're the offspring of the Devil!

Those insults floated around me, weighing me down and crushing my self-esteem.

Eventually, I stopped caring about the snarky comments that they occasionally dropped while I was in town.

I learned to let go.

Trying to please all of those people was useless. They had made their mind up about me.

I was a cursed child, the offspring of the Devil, the illegitimate child, the weirdo.

Even my mother began distancing herself from me, and locked herself away in our house because of shame.

I never asked her who my father was, but I found out as soon as I had turned 19.

Due to a debt that the villagers had with the owner of the farmland, Count Asdure, they had accumulated a huge debt that they were unable to pay.

When he first caught a glance of me, he agreed to settle the debt in exchange for me as his bride.

After I refused to help out, death threats began to appear, dead animals landed on my doorstep, and eventually, my mother couldn't take it anymore and ran away.

Only, she forgot to take me with her.

I was alone, unable to survive another day in this hell I had been born into. That was, until he came along.

The marketplace was as busy as it always was.

Keeping my cloak's hood firmly over my white hair, I walked around, taking a glance at the different stalls.

I always tried my best to not catch anyone's attention in the marketplace. I needed food and here I was, down to my last few silver coins that my mother had left me.

Merchant

Bread! Get your fresh bread!

I walked over and handed a few coppers to the man before taking two loaves of bread.

I said nothing, and kept my white hair firmly hidden.

Hopefully, today won't bring any trouble and-

Serina

What do we have here?

A sudden hand grabbed and yanked my cloak back. I didn't have time to firmly hold onto it as it flew out from behind me.

Serina's raised voice caused everyone to turn towards me. Most of them gasped, others began chanting prayers, and Serina and her sweetheart, Azsoph?

Well, they were sneering at me.

I grabbed hold of the loaves of bread and went to turn around when I saw someone walk up towards me with stones in their hand.

Villager

Begone, witch!

I saw the huge stone vault towards me, and I knew that it was going to hurt.

The size of the rock was the size of my closed fist, and I didn't know what to do apart from put my hands up.

In those moments, my eyes went wide before shutting as quickly as possible.

If the rock hits my head, I'll either be dead or pass out, and if the rock hits my hand, I'll not be able to make money from sewing anymore.

Regardless, the outcome will be the same.

More misery-

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of me like a snap of thunder in a dry plain.

Catching the stone with one of his hands, the cloaked man stood tall.

He wore a hat and gloves, and a monacle on his right eye.

He perhaps was nobility, or extremely rich.

Halford Smith

My, how uncivilised.

Halford Smith

Throwing something like this at my client. I could put you away for attempted murder for a long time.

Serina seemed speechless as the man straightened his back and turned around to meet my gaze.

Halford Smith

May I inquire the whereabouts of a certain Miss Katherine?

Why was a handsome nobleman looking for me?
