Even when the blockade against hallucinations was completely shut off, the pain still did not occur.

"If it were you... would His Highness treat me the same way?" came the witch's seemingly questioning soliloquy.

Yi Yi knew instantly that she had succeeded.

He patted Ai Yi's forehead and met her bewildered expression.

Yi Yi subtly winked at the pillow, signaling him to pretend to be asleep.

Ai Yi paused for a moment, and was about to fall down, but was stopped by Yi Yi's gesture.

Yi Yi called out the Q version of Xiao Nao, held it in her hands, and patted Ai Yi's forehead.

Ai immediately received the signal and pretended to be asleep.

The witch's eerie voice came, this time truly asking, "What have you done?"

Yi Yi shrugged and said casually, "Let him sleep for a while. After all, what we're about to say isn't really suitable for him to hear, is it?"

The witch did not refute Yi Yi's question.

After a long silence, she asked, "What is your purpose?"

What is your purpose in agreeing to switch bodies with me?

Yi Yi didn't answer immediately, but just silently teased the little head sitting on her hand.

Just as the witch was about to speak up again, unable to wait any longer, Yi Yi calmly replied, "I'm very curious about magical powers! It would be even better if I could obtain them!"

The witch wasn't stupid; she immediately understood what Yi Yi meant.

Instantly, she exclaimed indignantly, "So you approached His Highness the Habsburgs just for my power?"

“You can’t say that!” Yi Yi said firmly. “At first, I just heard that there was a cursed prince here, so I came to take a look.”

"There's no difference! You didn't come here for His Highness at all! You want my power! You don't love His Highness at all!"

The witch seemed to have fallen into a state of madness.

A voice, its tone ambiguous between anger and delight, kept repeating: "You don't love His Highness at all."

Such words.

Ai Yi reached out and pulled Yi Yi into her arms.

When his face was pressed against her back, he felt Yi Yi's comforting pats.

She noticed the unease that inevitably arose from listening to such a conversation and promptly comforted the person.

Then he heard Yi Yi say, "Yes, I don't love Your Highness as much as you do, but look~ His Highness just likes to stick to me!"

His tone was full of sarcasm, making the witch tremble and grind her teeth.

Immediately following was a furious outburst directed at Yi Yi: "You shameless woman! His Highness was only temporarily blinded by your looks! He only temporarily took a liking to your body!"

Yi didn't refute, but continued to guide the conversation: "Well, so you don't want this body that Ai Yi Habsburgs likes?"

The witch's cursing stopped abruptly.

Then came a long silence.

"...How will you obtain my power?"

Ultimately, the witch gave in because the amount of poison used was so strong.

Yi Yi put down her cerebellum, shrugged, and said, "That's something you'll have to think about."

"I……"

The witch seemed to want to say something, but I wasn't really going to give her a chance to speak.

He scoffed and interrupted her: "You can't just do nothing and reap the benefits, can you?"

“I…” the witch wanted to refute something.

But the love-struck witch did feel that if she could simply follow orders and win Ai's love, she would be reaping the benefits without effort.

It's unclear when it started, but the witch has stubbornly linked Ai's love with Ai's body in such a simple way.

She hesitated for a long time before finally making up her mind and gritting her teeth, saying, "The power of a witch comes from the soul of a witch."

“We are like humans but not like humans. As long as physical appearance is not important to us, you cannot obtain my power simply by exchanging bodies.”

Yi Yi nodded, feigning thoughtfulness, and said, "I see... then our talks have fallen apart! Just watch as His Highness and I are all lovey-dovey! Speaking of which, His Highness is indeed gentle and charming. Perhaps one day my love for him will surpass yours, and I might even be able to lift the curse along the way!"

Upon hearing what Yi said, the witch hurriedly replied, "But all of this is not entirely beyond our control!"

"The witch's power, to be precise, originates from the curse within her soul."

"This curse is etched into the soul, making the witch's soul stronger while she is alive, but the curse will cause the witch to die a tragic death without exception."

"This curse will even cause the witch's soul to turn to ashes after death, never to be reborn."

"And this curse can be transferred through certain means."

Yi Yi knew that her time had come, and that things had taken a turn for the better.

I just didn't expect that such a convenient setting would exist in such a slightly broken world.

It's fortunate that we survived.

But Yi Yi couldn't just accept it so readily.

And Ai's arms were tightening their grip even more.

He clearly disagreed with this way of handling things.

Yi Yi turned around and used all her strength to secretly compete with Ai Yi, preventing him from moving around.

She gritted her teeth and said, "You mean, if I switch bodies with you, I'll have to bear the curse of one of your witches?"

Ai Yi finally calmed down.

The witch hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, this curse transfer still requires certain conditions. Whether the two of us can do it is another matter."

Yi Yi frowned and rubbed her fingers together.

Oh no, I didn't expect this.

Seeing Yi Yi hesitate, the witch, who had completely transformed from a passive recipient to an active promoter, became anxious.

He quickly replied, "Anyway, could you come to my room first? We might need to confirm some things in person."

Yi Yi thought about the environment of the secret cell and figured that the witch probably didn't intend to trick her into going there and get herself killed.

nodded.

Unbeknownst to the witch, she poked Ai's nose and deliberately said, "You better not try anything funny. If you make any rash moves, just wait and see what I'll do to you!"

The witch quickly assured her that she had no intention of doing anything wrong.

Ai Yi nodded with difficulty under Yi Yi's gaze.

Knowing that the boy wouldn't go back on his word, Yi Yi put on her coat and followed the witch's instructions to the secret room in the study.

Through the iron fence, Yi Yi saw the witch lying motionless in the corner.

A gust of cold wind brushed past me.

Then the grayish thing in the corner started to move.

The witch's voice sounded weak, even more hoarse and low than her voice in her spirit form.

She also looked much weaker than when they exchanged souls before.

He takes a few breaths after saying just a few words.

But Yi Yi could understand what she was saying—

"In the records of witch history, people have already figured out ways to fight against witch curses."

"There are two methods..."

"One method is to find a human who shares a soul curse with the witch, and bind their souls together in the form of a curse, so that they can both obtain eternal souls."

Yi didn't want to interrupt her difficult narration.

But I couldn't help it: "So you cursed Ai? You let him share the curse with you without his permission?"

"No! No!" the witch suddenly exclaimed, "It's because I truly love His Highness the Prince..."
