The witch was very happy with Ellena's promise to give her more gold. She liked this young lady because Ellena was so generous and she seemed to know what she wanted exactly.
"Very well," the witch smiled. "You can come to me if you need anything related to potions and low-level magic. I know quite a bit. Enough to help you, should you need it."
"Will do, Mrs. Despear." Ellena nodded. "I will come to you if I need anything."
"Please, you can just call me Krista, Your Grace," said the witch. "I am only a few years older than you. You can just call me by my name."
"Okay, Krista. I like that."
Ellena thought it didn't hurt to have a witch on her side. It was true that Krista was still young and not as powerful as Thessalis, for example.
However, she had extensive knowledge of herbomancy which would definitely be useful for Ellena in the future.
