Ampein froze in place.

In other words, the accident many years ago was a scam deliberately created by Earl Quinn in order to cover up the news that his daughter became a witch?

Is Andrea an evil degenerate......

He didn't know.

But the murderers of his father, who had upset the kingdom for the rest of their lives, were witches, and if they hadn't had that unspeakable ability, nothing would have turned out to be what it is.

The idea that he wanted to avenge his father...... Is it wrong?

The two thoughts collided and bit at each other in Ampein's mind, causing him to have a splitting headache for a moment.

"Your reign has come to an end," Count Quinn stepped forward, "no matter what, Dawn should not continue to do your will. Witches will be rehabilitated and given the same status and rights as ordinary people, they can walk the streets normally, hold official positions, inherit the family, and even govern the kingdom. At this he glanced at Andrea, "As for you—"

"Why, do you want to kill a royal nobleman?" said Ampein, covering his forehead with a hideous face, "You have forgotten the oath you took to your ancestors, have you forgotten my last name!

This sharp rebuke caused everyone in the room to take a step back—except for Andrea and the Witch of Divine Punishment.

"I am the direct bloodline of the Moya royal family, and the only inheritor! Even if I am no longer the king, you will bear the name of the kingkiller!" he hissed, "The order of the dawn will be destroyed in your hands, and those great noble families will no longer trust you!"

"I wouldn't have done that," Hoford sighed, "and I wouldn't have even gotten to this point if it weren't for the family's stakes." But you must swear to leave the Kingdom of Dawn forever and never set foot on the land of the Kingdom in your lifetime. In that case, you can leave the royal capital with the people you can take with you, or I will have to lock you up in the castle's dungeon, just as you did with the sons of the Losi family. ”

"This is a decision made by the three of you?"

The Tokat family has no objection to this. "Count Tokat strokes his chest.

"The same is true of the Rossi family. Count Rossi replied.

"We're not as cold-blooded as you," Oro Tokat snorted, "and thanks to your orders being a step late, or ......"

"All right," Otto interrupted him, "no more. ”

It's really a group of people who are considerate of each other, but how long can you maintain such a ridiculous friendship in the face of a huge difference in power? Ampein glanced coldly at the nobles in the hall, and was silent for a long time before he spoke, "I choose the former. ”

He can't be imprisoned in a place where he will never see the light of day, as long as the bloodline continues, he will always be the royal family of Dawn, whether he goes to the heart of the wolf or eternal winter, he can be treated in accordance with his status. Even if you are under a fence, it is better than being locked up in a cage. Moreover, neither Hofford Quinn nor the King of the Grey Keep could guarantee that he would not make mistakes, and once a dispute arose, the nobles of other realms would not forget his existence.

"So...... Please swear by it. Earl Quinn nodded.

When Ampain Moya swore an oath in the name of his ancestors, the incident finally came to an end. However, only Andrea noticed that as the guards led the Lord of Dawn out of the hall, Elena who was supporting her showed a sneer.

As he left the castle, Otto suddenly called out to Andrea from behind, "Que, Miss Quinn...... Thank you for saving me. Mr. Hill has told me about what happened in Neverwinter. ”

She chuckled, "Are you so famous for your lifesaver and childhood friend?"

"No...... I'm just—" Otto looked a little speechless for a moment, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"It's called the eldest sister!" Oro stepped forward and hooked his neck, "Don't forget who was the leader of the foursome back then, or if you want to usurp the throne!"

"Oro!" Otto elbowed the latter in the chest.

"Ahem, well, I'm too nervous, just kidding......" Aoro pretended to be a hard hit, "but I haven't seen you for so long, and now that the Flower of Glow has come back from the dead, we must get together at night." How about being in the old place?"

"Silver Antlers Tavern?" Andrea said, raising an eyebrow, "that place hasn't closed yet?"

"It's the property of the Rossi family, and it didn't close so quickly, although the operator is really bad. ”

"Hey—"

"I'm fine. ”

"Okay, I'll go first, and you can talk slowly. Aoro waved his hand.

"Ann, Andrea......" Otto took a deep breath, "I want to talk to you alone. ”

Although I don't know why old friends are willing to give up this opportunity to get along with each other, it is a rare opportunity for him.

He didn't want to borrow Oro's words of longing anymore, and he could feel Andrea's attitude change slightly when she met Neverwinter. Although she still seems to be quite resistant to the identity of the eldest lady of the Quinn family, at least she does not show a strange feeling towards her former playmate, which can be seen from the joke just now.

"......" Andrea seemed to think for a moment, then nodded, "Let's go to the courtyard." ”

Otto felt his heart pound.

The supporter did not follow, and the two walked slowly into the courtyard one after the other.

"You...... Are you okay?" Looking at the back of the witch who was walking a little shaky, Otto wanted to help but didn't dare to stretch out his hand, obviously when he was a child, these actions were common.

"It's just a sequelae of overuse of mana, and it doesn't have any real effect on the body, on the contrary, we have to use it to increase the mana capacity, and we can get back to normal the next day, so don't worry. Andrea shrugged, "Now it's just the two of us, what do you want to talk about?"

Otto bit his lip, "Remember what I said to you when I was in Neverwinter? Oro goes to your cemetery every year to lay flowers......"

"Yes. ”

"In fact, there's one more thing I haven't told you," he said, taking a deep breath, "and I do the same every year—because I can't forget you." When I saw you say "I'm coming" in prison, I could hardly describe the joy in my heart, and at that moment I decided that I was going to say it no matter what. Andrea, can you stay here?"

Andrea didn't seem surprised, she only smiled slightly, "Thank you, but you said it too late." ”

"Too late means ......"

"I already have someone I want to be with, so ...... I won't stay in Glow City. She deliberately replied in a brisk tone, "If you had said it ten years earlier, maybe I would have agreed." ”

Otto's heart darkened, "Is it His Majesty Roland? If it were him, it would be a much better choice than mine—"

"How can I be the enemy of the Nightingale," interrupted Andrea, "I am her staunchest ally. ”

"Huh?"

"Uh, no, when I didn't say anything...... she coughed twice, "Anyway, not what you think." Otto, there is no way for a witch to keep the family going, and I don't want to be bound by the rules of the nobility. Ten years is too long, and I'm no longer the glow flower I used to be, so that's fine, understand?"

Otto opened his mouth, he wanted to blurt out "I am willing to give up everything of the nobility", but an invisible force stopped him.

He is no longer a child who can shirk all responsibilities and act willfully.

That was the biggest disappointment to his father and sister Belinda.

Eventually, Otto could only watch Andrea's back disappear into the courtyard entrance.
