Mikaela was amused seeing the exaggerated reaction of the trio. In her lonely life, she hasn't met someone so possessive like jealous chipmunks.
She was naturally a tease. So she affectionately snuggled back into Cruella's little arms and said, "Well, I'm master's beloved pet, so I can hug her any time!"
"Why you little!" the trio puffed their cheeks and was about to grab Mikaela when Cruella intervened in a cute voice that instantly broke the tension in the air. "Okay, enough chit-chat. Let's have some breakfast then we'll go to the capital!"
The trio suddenly forgot about their little banters with Mikaela when they heard that they were going to the capital later.
"Oh, we will finally ride the floating ship!" they let out in unison, inexplicably excited.
They have been itching to ride the floating ship since yesterday and finally, the long wait is over.
The group quickly prepared and went to the restaurant to have a breakfast feast. They went to the same restaurant they visited yesterday where they met an unreasonable and arrogant lady of Dionne's family.
It was Mikaela's first time dining with a lot of people and she was a little emotional.
Cruella senses her fluctuating emotions and rubs the kitten's little head. "You can transform to your original form, kitty," she said with a cute smile.
Mikaela blinked and looked up at Cruella for confirmation. Seeing Cruella nod with a smile, she felt giddy and immediately jumped out of Cruella's hold. In front of everyone, she transforms into her human form.
Sera, Meira, and Lucy gasped upon seeing a stunning figure. Their eyes widened in disbelief. Who would have thought that such a tiny black cat was a hidden beauty?
"Are you really Mikaela?" Sera asked in disbelief. She was mesmerized by Mikaela's green and curly long hair.
Meira and Lucy stare at Mikaela's green hair and black pointed hat. "You're a witch!" Lucy blurted with eyes widened.
Mikaela looks at the trio with a smile and flips her hair smugly. Then she introduced herself proudly, "The one and only Mikaela Williams, the Great Witch of Seaville Village!"
"The Great Witch of Seaville Village?!" the surrounding crowd was shocked when they heard that.
Of course, the people knew about the Great Witch of Seaville Village. She was notorious for her weird experiment that bothered people's daily lives. Cruella wasn't the only victim of her experiment.
There are some worst cases where people turned into an animal, plants, etc. that lasted for a few months. The worst thing she did was curse the entire people of Seaville Village into a penguin forever just because they offended her by calling her a crazy witch and many more, and tried to drive her away from the village.
There was a saying that says, "You can insult others but don't ever offend a witch or you'll turn into a toad."
After that unfortunate event, she was called the Great Witch of Seaville Village.
Even today, the entire village was still bound by the curse and sadly, Mikaela was unable to bring them back to normal for some reason. After she had done the misdeeds a hundred years ago, she felt guilty and tried lifting the curse but in her utter disbelief, the curse only got worse.
Since then, whoever entered the village by mistake would also become a penguin. Only Mikaela wasn't affected by the curse.
The crowd was terrified and immediately left the restaurant like they saw a terrifying monster.
Even the servers felt terrified and broke out in cold sweats but they dared not to act recklessly without their boss's approval since the boss warned them to act carefully and not offend the guest or else they'll disappear from the face of the world.
Seeing the people's terrified reaction, Cruella and the girls were surprised.
Mikaela looked somber. Every time she showed herself in public, people would avoid her at all costs. She was excited just now and had forgotten her bad reputation.
She looks at Cruella and the girls guiltily. "Please forgive me for ruining the mood..."
"I have a bad reputation that's why I remain in my cat form whenever I want to take a stroll." she continued to blabber guiltily.
Sera felt sympathy and stood up in her chair. She approached her and raised her chin. "Mikaela, you don't have to apologize. Everybody makes mistakes once in a while. We don't know what you did but maybe you had your reasons. So don't feel guilty around us."
Mikael felt her eyes water and sniffled.
Cruella felt guilty because she ordered Mikaela to show her appearance. "Kitty, I'm sorry... It's my fault."
Mikaela turned to Cruella and couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Cruella's guilty look which looked adorable.
"It's fine. It's my fault. If I hadn't done something despicable, they wouldn't have to avoid me like a plague." Mikaela said.
The four girls were curious about what Mikaela did. So they asked, "What did you do?"
"Well, it's like this..."
Mikaela explained all the things she did to the people and how she got her title as the Great Witch of Seaville Village.
While listening, the girls couldn't help but feel amused and laugh at her careless action. All of that is because of her love for experimenting with her powers and making breakthroughs.
As for cursing an entire village, they could understand why she did that. She was offended and hurt, and that made her act recklessly.
For a witch or any magic users, once feeling aggravated or any slight fluctuations in their emotions, they could summon powerful spells or magic which sometimes went beyond their limits.
As for Mikaela, upon experiencing the abrupt changes, her power went beyond leaps and bounds.
Sera scoffed and said, "I have done something worse than yours, Mikaela!"
"Oh?"
Meira was also curious when she heard that. She had no recollection of the past so she didn't know what Sera had done before. So she intently looks at Sera.
Sera explained, "Well, I also have a bad reputation which was more precarious than yours. If the world knows who I am, tens of thousands or millions of people might besiege me and try to kill me, or worse the gods would come down again to suppress me."
"What?!" Mikaela and Meira were dumbfounded.
Cruella and Lucy already knew about Sera's misdeeds so they focus on eating their meals.
Sera leaned over and whispered to Mikaela since there were servers around and she was afraid they would faint or piss their pants off if they knew her identity. "I'm the Great Destroyer, Sera Von Khaos..."
"What?! You are... her?!" Mikaela was dumbstruck. Her mouth was agape and her eyes widened in terror.
Sera smiled and turned to the server. She ordered them to leave for a while. The servers were thankful like they were being granted amnesty and left in a hurry like a frightened little rabbit.
The girls continued chatting while eating harmoniously.
Mikaela learned that all of them had a title and a reputation that could shake the world by storm.
Sera was the Great Destroyer.
Meira was the Great Saintess.
Mikaela was the Great Witch.
Lucy was a descend of the Great Sage.
Lastly, Cruella was the Great Devourer Wolf.
They all had the name 'Great' attached to their titles. It seems as though the universe wanted them to gather together.
Everyone also realized that and felt ridiculous. For others, they were a force to be reckoned with and one would have to be careful not to offend any of them.
Or rather... the world couldn't afford to offend any of them or else it will be a disaster that will lead to the destruction of the entire world.
After their dinner, the girls excitedly went to the terminal where the floating ship was.
Of course, Mikaela wore a disguise or people would avoid her again.
Since Mikaela was more familiar with how things were, she led the group inside and bought tickets.
A whopping 25,000 gold coins were gone in a flash. Mikaela felt robbed and felt reluctant to give up such an amount but to please the girls, she had to bid goodbye to her hard-earned money.
But when she saw Cruella, eating sweets adorably, her slight displeasure was gone in a flash, and happily showed the girls the tickets she bought.
Her heart felt happy and satisfied seeing the smiles on their faces.
Soon, it's finally their turn to enter the floating ship. It was big and there were many passengers around.
The girls immediately toured the entire ship with excited expressions like a little children.
Couple with their stunning figures and unique temperaments, they naturally grabbed everyone's attention and became the center of attraction.
Some younger ones wanted to strike up a conversation with them. However, they were terrified when they met Sera's hostile glare. Because of that, no one dares to disturb them.
At this moment at the Dionne Family estate, Alecia Dionne had just received news that the girl who humiliated her in the restaurant yesterday was in the floating ship going to the capital.
She immediately ordered to delay the departure and watched the girls' movements. Then she prepared to go to the floating ship as well instead of using the teleportation array in their estate to go to the capital.
She was also going to the capital for the upcoming ball.
When she arrived at the floating ship, everyone made way for her as she was notorious for being an arrogant heiress who got what she wanted.
Of course, Cruella and the girls also notice her arrival, however, they ignore her presence and just mind their business.
Seeing that Alecia was being ignored again, she clenched her teeth in annoyance and walked towards the group of girls after assembling a lot of powerful knights her family cultivated for years.
Sera smirked upon seeing the arrogant lady again and made a disgusted look which irked Alecia. "Oh, what a small world," she uttered nonchalantly.
"Indeed. And seeing your tattooed face makes me disgusted." Alecia responded agitated.
Sera's face darkened and before she could retort, Mikaela uttered with displeasure, "Excuse me? Who are you to be disgusted with Sera's tattooed face? It's ridiculous. Sera was stunning with tattoos and all, unlike someone who has a stinky mouth."
Sera and the girls stifled a laugh. Mikaela was really a tease.
"You...!" Alecia was fuming and immediately ordered her knights, "Go, kill them for me!"
The knights hesitated. Their instincts told them it was dangerous. In fact, they thought that Mikaela seemed familiar but couldn't pinpoint where they had seen her.
"What are you waiting for?!" Alecia bellowed.
The knights were forced to act and they could only feel bitter in their hearts.
However, they soon found that they couldn't move like there was an invisible force in front of them.
"Why aren't you moving?!" Alecia's face contorted with rage. But she also found that she couldn't move.
Under the public's eyes, they witness a mind-boggling scene where the arrogant heiress of the Dionne Family with her knights turns into a group of chubby toads as tall as humans.
And they saw the green-haired lady smirk in satisfaction. "Serves you right. Now, be a toad for a few days and take this as your lesson." Mikaela said.
The group of toads seems terrified and croaked. For fear that they'll turn into something worse, the black toads immediately left leaving a pink toad alone.
The pink toad is none other than Alecia Dionne.
Cruella's eyes lit up when she saw that the arrogant lady turned into a pink toad.
Mikaela saw her reaction and said as she pointed to the pink toad, "Master, what do you want to do with this thing?"
Hearing that, the pink toad Alecia got back to her senses and backed away in fear, and then scurried away in a flash but was stopped by small hands. The pink toad Alecia turned pale when she met the innocent gaze of a little baby.
"Do you want to play?"
