Harvesting The Witch Queen - Chapter 293: Frozen Castle

Chapter 293: Frozen Castle

“WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?” the Minotaur knight’s eyes glowed through the visor of his armour. Since he was not currently in his Minotaur beast mode, there was only his knight armour covering his human body. He could feel it in his guts that he could transform into his Halloween beast form. It was only a matter of time before this happened…

“Calm down, hothead. I didn’t do anything to them,” her voice was calm, collected, and neutral.

“Why did you put them in ice?” That was the big question he had for her. 

“Just to make sure they don’t go wandering around in my castle while I was with you. There, let me unfreeze your precious witch-bitch for you…” December stepped toward the frozen September as with the palm of her hand she unfroze a certain portion of her—most specifically her head, simply so she was awoken and so she could talk. 

“September!”

“JUNK!” The witch gasped as she was unfrozen. 

“Junk? Don’t tell me she still calls you like that?” December raised an eyebrow.

“What do you mean she still calls me Junk? That’s my name.”

“...” September stayed with her mouth shut. She didn’t say anything and Junk had no idea what this meant. Was she hiding something from him again? He hoped that this was not the case, but what could he do at this point if she was still hiding things from him? 

“Well, that’s even colder than anything I could have done myself…” December admitted.

“What is it? What the fuck is happening?” Junk growled. 

“Do you want me to tell him or you do it?” December asked September.

“...” The Autumn witch still didn’t say a word once more. 

“Okay, then, let me help you. I have no idea why she keeps calling you Junk because this was never your name. Your real name is Jack,” December finally revealed to him. 

Jack? My name is Jack.

“That’s such a stupid name!” He declared.

“His real name is Jack?” April asked.

“Jack…” June uttered.

Everyone was caught off-guard. Everyone except for September, of course.       

“...” September frowned and looked away.

“You know what? That doesn’t change a thing. Besides, it’s only one letter that changes, so who cares?” The Minotaur knight pointed out. 

“If she was hiding your real name from you, it makes you wonder what else she was hiding from you, right?” December mentioned. 

“...” This time, it was him who didn’t say anything. 

“KICK HER ASS! DO IT!” June shouted. This was the only thing that the barbarian woman could think of to say right now. She wanted him to beat her. 

“YEAH! DO THAT!” April didn’t seem that this was not such a bad idea. 

“Junk…” Then, September called him by this fake name once more…

“Save it, Queen, it’s fine,” was the only thing he said to her at that moment. 

The next moment, the Minotaur warrior came rushing right at December, no longer holding back on her and more than ready to battle her to save the three women he cared the most about in his life.

There were only a handful of feet that separated him from her and he was just about to take his axe and slash her in half right until… 

“Calm down, jeez!” December spoke right before he could attack her and… He froze. “There’s no need in battling.” 

He didn’t know why he stopped charging at her after he said these things, but he did. He stopped everything he was doing to listen to her and to make sure that he didn’t attack her too soon. What if she had something important to say that would change everything?

“Yes?”

“There’s no need for us to do battle. I’ll free your friends under one condition and one condition only,” December mentioned to him.

“Humour me.”

“A date,” she briefly announced. 

“A date?” the Minotaur knight cocked his head. 

“She wants a date with him?” June raised an eyebrow, visibly confused.      

“That’s not fair! He belongs to us!” April cried out!

“...” September kept her mouth shut during that time. 

Everyone was confused, including Junk, but the truth was that he was pretty tempted. Without taking anything away from September, April, and June, he felt like December was such a gorgeous lady that he could allow himself to be tempted to have this date with her after all. Especially if that meant that he could save everyone without having to do battle with her. 

“So, that’s the only thing I need to do, right? Go on a date with you?” he asked her, making sure he understood this correctly because quite frankly, he had never heard that before. This was the first time he was asked something like that.

December smiled.

She didn’t need to say anything, that smile was communicating everything to him. 

I mean, if I can save everyone without having to hurt her, that’d make it much better. I don’t want to have to hurt her, he thought to himself.

It was decided. 

This was what he was going to do. There was no longer any question about it. 

“Then, if you promise to keep your word, I will do as you ask,” he placed his weapon away and he stood with his back upright. He was ready to follow her.

“Good,” December turned around.

The Minotaur knight followed her. 

Therefore, the others were left behind while the two of them went elsewhere in the frozen castle. It was all decided so fast and the others had nothing to say on the matter. 

They heard the cries of April and June, pleading with him not to go with her, but alas, it was already decided. The only one who didn’t say anything was September. He didn’t hear her one time.  

Since December was leading the way in the many corridors of the castle, the knight was able to take one good look at her huge and bountiful ass, jiggling right in front of his face.

“You’ve made the right choice, Jack,” she reassured him.
