Wendy, Shujuan, and Speer sit in the lobby on the first floor of the castle, sharing a high-quality black tea from Glow. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Removing the rattling kettle from the hook of the fireplace, pouring the boiling well water into the teacup, and watching the water surface gradually turn transparent orange-red, the mellow aroma coming from the churning white mist, Wendy felt lazy. Blowing away the heat from the rim of the cup, she took a small sip, the slight bitterness followed by the sweetness that echoed between her lips and tongue, and the warm current poured into her abdomen, making her hum with satisfaction.

On the other side of the hall, Bai Shi was still struggling with the Divine Will Rune, she had now mastered the skill of injecting magic into the rune, and she could also control the mana output more accurately, but no matter how she tossed, she could only light up the first magic stone on the rune.

"When I saw her, I couldn't help but think of my days at the Mutual Aid Society," Shujuan sighed, "but at that time, no one thought that everyone would be able to live the life they are living now." ”

"If he had foreseen this, Hakara wouldn't have gone his own way. Wendy put down her glass, "Fortunately, none of the Sisters who will awaken in the future will have to go through what we have suffered," she smiled, "Presumably, we will be the last witches to suffer." ”

"It's also the oldest, and the time to enjoy a good life is the shortest," Shujuan said, "It sounds like a big loss." ”

"So you came back so early today to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy some free time?" Wendy quipped.

"I'm not going to leave until I've finished the business at hand," the latter shrugged, "His Royal Highness Roland is not here, and I don't even have a lot of work to do, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it." ”

"Really?" Wendy raised an eyebrow, "I'll tell him these words word for word when His Highness returns." ”

"Hmm...... Then when the next exam comes, I can't guarantee that you will be able to understand every question. ”

"You're in a good relationship," Speer chuckled from the side, "I'm not young either, but I don't feel as deeply as you...... Among witches, they should be considered lucky. ”

"Of course, not every witch has a powerful father," Shujuan took a sip of tea, "and she will pass on everything she has to her daughter—a minority even among the nobility." ”

"By the way, how does the town hall feel?" Wendy looked at her, "I heard you've been running there whenever you have time lately." ”

"It's been a great benefit," Speer sighed, "and it's the first time I've seen such a segregated and closely connected way of managing departments." Rather than having several ministers in charge alone, having the city hall pay its own employees can avoid the difficulty of replacing people and allow capable civilians to join in without hindrance...... I really don't know how Your Highness came up with this. ”

"She's having a good time with Barov," the scroll said.

"Ahem, it's just that he asked me a few questions about the laws of the nobility, which I happen to know better," Speer shook his head, "and the new law formulated by His Highness is very unique, and it may be implemented in the Falling Dragon Ridge in the future, so I couldn't help but discuss it with him for a while." ”

"Oh, what's so unique?"

"For example, the definition of the people is partly ......"

"Sister Wendy, when will I light the second magic stone," Bai Shi came over at some point, holding up the Divine Will Sigil and shouted.

"When you're older," she held out her hand to the little girl, "come, let me hug." ”

The white paper grabbed her hand and crawled into her arms hand and foot.

Wendy touched her head on the white paper, looking at the two people in front of her who were discussing the new law, and felt a sense of peace in her heart.

If only this kind of life could go on forever.

At that moment, one of the guards walked into the hall, and he looked left and right for a moment, and then walked towards the four of them with some hesitation.

"What's going on?" Wendy recognized him, and it was none other than one of His Royal Highness's personal guards.

"Lady Wendy, there's a townsfolk outside the castle who claims that her daughter has just awakened as a witch......" he said with a salute on his chest, "Your Highness has told you to deal with such a matter if he is not there." ”

"What?" the three of them were stunned in unison, "the newly awakened witch?"

That's what the man said. ”

"Take me there," Wendy said immediately.

......

At the gate of the castle district, she met two townspeople, one in his forties, with half-white hair, deep and long wrinkles on his forehead, and a somewhat old jacket with a slightly rickety body, waiting in the cold wind. The other was much younger, probably seventeen or eighteen years old, and stood beside the old woman with a restrained expression.

"This is Lady Wendy of the League of Witches," the guard introduced.

"Your Excellency...... Hello. The two bowed respectfully.

"They said they were migrants from the south, who moved into the inner city community a month and a half ago, and I also checked my ID card, which basically matched the information on it. ”

"You're a witch?" Wendy asked, looking at the young woman and speaking as softly as she could, "What's your name?"

"Your Excellency asks you. The woman tugged at her sleeve.

"Asha. The latter whispered.

"You're hers...... Mother?"

"Yes, yes, her father is still working in the furnace area, so I sent her here first," the woman nodded repeatedly, "My lord, may I ask what His Royal Highness the Prince said in the notice...... Is it true that witches are paid a golden dragon every month?"

"If she's willing to join the League of Witches, yes. ”

"I'm ......," Asha opened her mouth.

"She is willing, of course she is willing to give everything for His Highness," the mother interrupted her daughter, "do you want to sign the contract, and when will we get the money?"

Wendy couldn't help frowning at the other party's words, and it was not difficult to hear from her tone that the woman was obviously treating her daughter as a commodity for sale, and even more so as the Witch Alliance as a place for His Royal Highness to entertain the Prince.

She suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and replied calmly, "Your Highness is now handling government affairs in Changge Fortress, and I don't know when he will come back." In addition, you need to review and test before joining the alliance, you can first entrust your daughter to the castle, and wait for His Highness to return to the border town before signing the contract. ”

After all, Asha was always innocent, and she didn't want to take her anger on the innocents - although most of the town's natives had already accepted witches, there was still a deep misunderstanding of witches among the refugees who came to the West after the Evil Moon.

"Then please, sir. The woman bowed again and patted her daughter's head, "Behave well and don't disappoint Your Highness." ”

"Mom, I-" Asha wanted to say something, but the other party had already turned and walked towards the ramp where he had left. (To be continued.) )
