Chapter 479: Where the Heart Wants

Wendy's recent days have been extraordinarily fulfilling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Like her name, she quickly absorbs knowledge about witches and magic, and her literacy and nature education are progressing well, and she is now able to learn new vocabulary on her own with reference to literacy textbooks. It's just that natural tutoring is a little more troublesome, and even Wendy can't answer the questions that the little girl sometimes raises, so she can only ask Anna or His Royal Highness the Prince.

Ah Xia is much more clumsy than the blank paper, probably because of his age, a word has to be recited several times before he can memorize the spelling, and he is also skeptical about the nature course. But Wendy didn't care at all, if they were as smart as Anna, it would be a blow, and the last thing she lacked right now was time and patience.

Every day after waking up, she would call the two of them to the parlor to check the homework they had assigned yesterday - this is also the point that His Highness preached to all the teachers in the Ministry of Education: if you don't practice, you will soon forget, and you can only remember it by practising all the time, and Wendy thinks very well.

The next step is the magic practice, which can already help Agatha make acid, or go to the shipyard to help the cement harden faster, so Wendy's tutoring is mainly for the newcomer Asha. I heard that she will also join the Security Bureau with Nightingale in the future to help His Highness recreate the crime scene, so the most important thing is to control the replay time accurately.

Fortunately, the ability to exert power is like breathing for a witch, even if it is dull, as long as you can feel the magic running, it will not be bad. Wendy also often pulls Maisie out as an example, encouraging Asya not to be depressed by her low natural magic powers, even pigeons can evolve, let alone a normal witch, and of course, she will secretly bring some honey roast meat to Maisie afterwards as compensation.

In the evenings, there are routine primary education classes. Considering the different learning steps of the new entrants, His Royal Highness has divided the League of Witches into two classes, with the original ones continuing to be taught by books and beginning to learn elementary physics and chemistry, while the newly awakened ones are tutored by Wendy - after the normal course is over.

It's also the most relaxing time of the day for her.

After all, as the first Mutual Aid witch who joined the Alliance, after a period of study, Wendy has opened up the gap with several sisters in the forefront, and the thought that she has been entrusted with the responsibility of the administrator of the Alliance by His Royal Highness makes her feel even more pressured on her shoulders.

It is only when she teaches newcomers that she can let go of her burdens and devote herself to it.

After assigning homework for the two of them for the night, Wendy went to the bathroom to take a hot shower and returned to the bedroom comfortably, only to see the nightingale sitting at the head of the bed, holding a copy of "Foundations of Natural Science Theory" in a daze.

She could only be in a daze, and if she had paid attention to the book, she would have fallen asleep in less than half an hour—and Wendy had never seen her last a quarter of an hour.

"What's wrong?" Wendy lifted the covers and climbed onto the bed, sitting down beside her.

The nightingale glanced at her slightly, and her dazed and empty look made her heart tighten—this kind of look she had only seen in Silverlight City, and that was the day she first met the nightingale. At that time, she walked alone in the snowy streets, completely ignoring the snowflakes covering her shoulders.

"His Royal Highness Roland and Anna are together...... she whispered, "I pushed him." ”

"......" Wendy didn't know what to say for a while, but recently she could see that the relationship between Anna and Her Highness was obviously much closer, but everyone acquiesced to this, so she was not surprised - as the first witch His Highness came into contact with, Anna was impeccable in every way, except for the inability to have children, the book even thought that she was the most suitable person to become a queen. It's just that I didn't expect this change to be caused by the nightingale.

"I was clearly prepared, I knew that this was the inevitable result, but when I saw what they looked like when they were together, why...... Why do you still feel so uncomfortable?" Nightingale grabbed Wendy's hand tightly, "I've already made up my mind......"

Looking at the other party's appearance, Wendy also felt uncomfortable in her heart, the biggest impression that Nightingale gave her was that she was strong, whether it was a distant relative who imprisoned her with a blade in Silverlight City, or fighting with the church in the Mutual Aid Society, no matter what kind of predicament she fell into, she could calmly respond, even in the face of the aggressive Hakala, she never showed fear. But in the face of affection, she turned back into the helpless child again, and at this point, she was powerless to help her.

Because there is no right or wrong in feelings.

Wendy had no choice but to take her into her arms and gently pat her on the shoulder, "If you feel uncomfortable, just cry." ”

Nightingale shook her head and muffled, "I swore when I left Gülen's house...... Definitely not crying anymore, never ......" Her voice grew lower and lower, and finally became almost inaudible. Wendy felt a warm wetness gradually in her chest, but even so, she did not let out a single sob, because of the extreme patience, the nightingale's shoulders trembled slightly, and the grip of her hand became harder and harder.

"I didn't cry ......"

"Well, you didn't...... I know. Wendy closed her eyes, and began to regret what she had said to Nightingale—staying by her side was an easy answer, and in fact most witches would stay with His Highness...... Because they have nowhere to go. Being willing to accept a woman who is unable to have children and cannot inherit the bloodline is itself a very unlikely event, and the witches also understand this fact. But the most important thing to stay around is distance, just like the sun, everyone can bathe in the light brought by the sun, but the closer you want to get closer, the easier it is to be burned, and what the nightingale wants to do is obviously not just to watch from afar.

This is not an easy path.

"Otherwise, just give up......," Wendy whispered, "even if you take a step back, your sisters will be with you." ”

The long silence made time seem to freeze there, and she felt as if she was waiting for a trial, even if the object was not herself, she still found it extremely difficult. There were several times when Wendy couldn't resist asking again, but the words that came to her lips eventually slipped back.

Until the nightingale raised its head.

Her eyes were slightly red, but there were no tears in sight—the wetness in her chest seemed to be her own delusion. When she saw the other party's eyes, Wendy knew that this trial had finally come to an end...... But not the end.

"I'm not going to give up," she shook her head, "no matter what, I want to keep him until the end—"

Even if it is burned to ashes by the sun.

That's her answer. (To be continued.) )
