The Witch Says

Xia had a failed life.

She was the daughter of a duke, the jewel of the royal capital, the rose of House Stewart. Even without magic, she would have lived a smooth and enviable life, until the heroine of the story appeared.

The moment the kind and beautiful saintess made her debut, everyone's eyes turned to her. Even Xia's fiance, His Highness the Crown Prince, fell at the saintess's feet.

Just like in every romance, the villainess lost, and even her family was dragged down with her.

To preserve the family's honor, Xia was sent to the imperial palace by the nobles to become the Crown Prince's concubine.

In the end, she was killed with a cup of poisoned wine on the day the new emperor ascended the throne.

Because Xia was an evil woman, a thief who coveted what belonged to others, a sinister and cunning witch, a cold-hearted exploiter. So, of course, everything was her own fault.

Xia disagreed. Her greatest mistake was that she hadn't been bad enough. Without magic, she couldn't achieve anything on her own, so she could only make serving the Crown Prince her life's goal.

Given another chance, Xia unexpectedly met the saintess's greatest ally, her archenemy: the beautiful young man who had yet to become a great magician, named Cheryl.

He had lost his memories and was locked in a cage. His handsome face was smudged with dirt, and he looked nothing like the aloof, untouchable beauty he had been in his previous life.

She had heard that a pure body possessed an endless source of magic, and could even awaken magic in those who had none, allowing them to wield it freely.

Under the wicked woman's beguiling influence, the amnesiac boy willingly offered her everything he had.

Xia was vile, wicked, and selfish, a witch through and through.

Even when her deeds were exposed, all she would do was pull down her hood and whistle nonchalantly.

"Why would you do this?"

"Because I'm a witch. I'll become the Demon King, the biggest villain in the world."
