After finalizing the plan to hunt the evil beast, the witches went back to their rooms to rest and wait for the dinner to begin, while Roland left Ife alone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"There's one thing I want to tell you first, lest you arrive unprepared. "I remember you said that you had a friend named Anne before you were taken in by the Blood Fangs, right?"

"Yes...... Your Majesty," Ifie blinked, as if he didn't quite understand why he had suddenly brought it up.

"Of the witches who rushed to Greycastle from Dawn, all but the Tachira survivor who was disguised as a handmaiden were from Wolfheart. ”

Ife's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, do you mean ......?"

Roland nodded, "One of them is named Annie, and they've been rejected by the Bloodfangs. ”

She was stunned for a moment, and after a while she muttered, "Is this true?"

At this moment, Yifei's face was not all joy, and half of it was guilt and worry, I am afraid that in her heart, she was still blaming herself for not choosing to leave with the other party at that time.

The reason why he didn't plan to surprise the two of them was also because of this consideration - he wasn't sure how Anne felt about Ife, and if he held a grudge against the Bloodfang witch who had left her, it would be embarrassing when the joy of reunion turned into a face.

"3009," Roland said.

"What?"

"3009, her room number," he exhaled, "at least for now, she's pretty close to what you're described. And if you want to know the answer, don't you see for yourself?"

Ifei was silent for a moment, then bowed deeply to him, "I understand, Your Majesty, thank you!"

"Go ahead, time can sometimes dilute everything. ”

"Yes!"

Looking at her back as she hurried out of the living room, Roland touched his chin. That's all I can do to get you here, he thought.

Room 09 on the third floor, Room 09 on the third floor...... Ifi silently recited the room number as she ran towards the witch's building, ignoring Yuyu and Sunset's questions. Passing through the snow-covered back garden and white olive groves, she followed the stairs all the way up to the third floor.

However, the closer she got to her destination, her pace slowed down.

The anxiety in my heart is also expanding.

When they traveled together, Anne took care of her all the way to Grand Ducal Island, but when she learned that Anne was unable to join the Blood Tooth Society, she did not insist on staying. This guilt has tormented her, especially after thinking that Anne died in the heart of a wolf, she had been unable to sleep for a long time. In the end, she vented her hatred for herself on those nobles, and the strength and fearlessness she disguised were all shells to hide the remorse in her heart.

But now, the shell could no longer protect her.

She instinctively feared.

What would Anne do if she didn't forgive her?

Ife stood at the door, but she didn't dare to reach out and knock.

"I knew you would," a cold voice sounded from beside her, startling her. Lowering his head, he found that the short Yu Yu had come to his side at some point, and there was a panting Sunset standing in the far distance of the corridor.

They looked like they were worried about catching up, and Ife couldn't help but feel a warm heart.

"When you encounter something related to Anne, you always feel like a different person. ”

"You ...... Did you hear that?"

"Of course, Your Majesty left you alone to talk, how could we not eavesdrop......" The little girl pouted, "In case he wants to coerce you, we can also help guard the door, right?"

"Do you have such a help," Ifei couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and the nervousness in her heart was diluted a little, "You actually came to see my joke!"

"That's pretty much it," Yu Yu shrugged, "are you ready?"

"Ready...... What?"

Bang, bang, bang—before she could react, the little girl had already slammed the door a few times, and then ran towards Sunset, "Remember, just say what you want to say!"

"No, wait......"

However, it was too late, and there was the sound of footsteps behind the door, and in an instant, Ife felt herself stiffened.

With a click, the door was pushed open, and a tall witch appeared in front of her.

It was Anne who opened the door.

She will never forget this face.

Sharp eyes like knives, slightly raised eyebrows, and the softness of caring for companions hidden under the resolute face. She thought that she would never see each other again, and she was afraid that sooner or later she would forget the appearance of the other party, but when she met again, she found that her figure was only temporarily covered by the floating dust, and when she came back out, she was still as good as new.

Time seemed to stand still in this moment.

"Annie, I'm tired......

"Annie, go alone. 」

"Why can't Anne stay?"

"No, I ...... I want to be with Annie......

The fragments in her mind kept coming back, the shell crumbled, and she seemed to go back to the past, becoming the helpless and hesitant girl again. I obviously wanted to say hello, but I couldn't say anything, I opened my mouth, and my eyes were inexplicably sour.

Effie couldn't stop the sourness, she hugged Anne, sobbed softly, and then burst into tears.

"I'm sorry...... Woo...... Annie...... Sorry ......"

The beast never cries.

And from this moment on, she was no longer a beast.

Anne was still a little stunned.

When she pushed the door open, she didn't remember who the witch standing outside the door was, but it felt very familiar, and it wasn't until she hugged herself and cried and apologized that the experience of trekking through mountains and rivers to the Blood Fang Society resurfaced.

It is impossible to say that there is no resentment in her heart, and even when the Bloodfang Society tries to sell her to the nobles, part of this betrayal anger is transferred to Yfe.

However, seeing her crying uncontrollably, Anne suddenly felt that all her grievances had vanished - she was as thin as a monkey at that time, her face was covered with mud, and she always looked timid and afraid, and it was probably impossible for her to resist the orders of the Blood Fang Society and stay desperately.

Anne let out a long sigh, stretched out her hands, and gently hugged Ife, "...... I don't blame you anymore. ”

Hearing this, Ifei trembled slightly and cried even louder.

......

It took half an hour for her mood to gradually stabilize.

It was in this process that Anne learned about the Bloodfangs, and when she learned that the mastermind, Earl Morgan, had died, and the other witches had been freed from the Bloodfangs' control, the knots that had been twisting in her heart were finally freed. And it was Roland Wimbledon and his sister Her Highness Tilly who solved all this.

Things really seem to be turning for the better.

Looking at Effie, who was asleep in her arms after crying, and then at Amy and the others who looked curious beside her, she made up her mind.

"Let's sign a contract with Wendy and serve the King. ”
