Chapter 711-720

Chapter 711 Leaving the realm of witches
After thinking about Axel’s words, Talia thought about how it was logical. Why would witches take all information about the portals from the archives? Considering they were witches, and how Feya made specific information from the Catalogue fly out and appear on a different paper, there must be some copying spell they could use.
However, one thing didn’t make sense. “Why would Evanora lie about that?”, Talia asked Axel.

“Because she wanted to conceal her incompetence. Someone sneaked into their precious archive on Evanora’s watch. It’s a matter of Evanora choosing to save her reputation instead of telling us the truth.”

Axel knew about this because his parents would twist the facts so that they look good.

Talia understood the point about Evanora caring for her image more than about the truth. However, she remembered one thing that drilled a gaping hole in Axel’s theory.

“We found information about the portals in the Midnight Guardians pack.” Talia reminded him.

Axel shook his head. “Whatever we got was hidden in the safe of my parents’ study and in Cornelia’s quarters. When Yasmin told me how they had a lot of portals in their realm, I went to our archives wondering if I will find some similarities, but I didn’t find anything. I thought how that was odd because there were several books describing draught from five centuries ago, yet there was nothing about portals. Nothing. Now that I’ve seen the same thing here, I can’t help but think that those two were connected.”

Talia stared at Axel while information sank in. “You are saying that someone came to this Coven and to the Midnight Guardians pack and removed information that was related to the portals.”
