Kapitel 236: Question

"Is… Alicia sick, Abi?" Elle asked and then blushed in the next minute as she belatedly realized how silly her question might be. Do witches even get sick? She had learned that vampires do not get sick. Not like how humans do. Thus, she was not sure about the witches. But they should have spells and magic to cure themselves, right? 

"She's not sick." Abi answered. There was no mocking or teasing manner in her voice at all as she answered Elle's question seriously. "Alicia used to be very powerful. She is the most powerful vampire and witch. But something happened to her a few years ago. She lost most of her magical abilities and even until now, her strength and magic are still deteriorating. We believe that she'd only regain everything once the gates open again." 

"G-gate…?" Elle echoed, tilting her head and furrowed her brows a little as she did not understand it. She was completely curious about what gate Abi was talking about.
