"Please don't be impulsive, Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hurt you, I just came here to talk to you."
Heck, is this a way to tell people you want to talk to them?
Roland swallowed his fear and slowly turned around.
Under the threat of a dagger, he could only give way to the pressure and do as the other party wished.
In the dim candlelight, Roland could see the others he was sitting on his bed, his body hidden under a cloak
and his head was covered in a hood, so he could not see his true appearance. His shadow cast by the candlelight filled more than half of the wall behind him.
"Who are you?"
"I don't have a name, but my sister called me
Nightingale."
He stood up and straightened his robe, then he crouched down on one knee, and unexpectedly gave a standard noble bow, which he had,
"First of all, I'm here to thank you Roland Wimbledon, Your Majesty"
Show me your gratitude? Roland noticed that several lines of her dress, due to the light of the fire, emitted a unique glint;
they formed a three triangle pattern parallel to the eye in the middle of the triangle.
Patterns on top of coins.. It was the Eye of the Sacred Mountain, which was the emblem of the Witch Cooperation Association."
In his mind, Barov's words appeared once again, though,
"You.. a witch!?"
"Ha ha ha!" he let out a series of light laughter,
"Your Majesty is truly knowledgeable."
Hearing the other party reveal their identity,
Roland heaved a sigh of relief, he was not an assassin sent by his brothers,
"Why would a witch like you come to this remote town in the Northern Mountains area?
I'm not sure where you heard the news from, but your ability to arrive is too slow.
If I really wanted to hang him, he would have been dead a long time ago.
"I knew. And if you really do, I'll never talk to you .."
Nightingale sat back on her bed, "The Witch Cooperation Association does not like to intervene in world affairs,
especially with matters relating to the kingdom.
To be honest, for a magician to kill a prince, it wouldn't be hard work, either,
but I want to honor the Witch Cooperation Association. However, if you leave a bad second impression, I can still kill you"
It's a hanging threat. Roland tried to ease the atmosphere, "Witch, she's alive and well."
"I know that, and other than her, there's another little girl." she nodded,
"I came to this place a week ago, but I didn't show myself to you.
But I've seen everything you've done.
Although I don't quite understand why you don't show the usual hatred towards witches, no matter what, on behalf of
Witch Cooperation Association, I must thank you."
"Since a week ago .." Roland rubbed his forehead,
but also "everything he does is seen by him?"
This implied that he had always followed her, but she and her bodyguards were completely unaware of it?
"Well stop, saying that you want to talk to me isn't just to say 'thank you', is it?"
"Are you tired of talking to me?" nightingale asked as she took off her hood,
"Look, I don't look that bad, I won't scare you, Your Majesty."
She was further from the word 'not too bad, you can only call her beautiful.
As the hood fell, her golden hair instantly flowed down like a waterfall; the candlelight reflected by her hair made her feel dizzy;
with his nose and sparkling eyes,
instead of Anna and Nana's slightly childish appearance, her face showed a more mature charm.
In this dim light, she could not see up close, but her proportional facial features were enough to prove her beauty.
Step by step Roland slowly approached her, and in the end they sat on the bed side by side.
It was not that he was attracted to him, it was even dangerous, no, he simply felt that the other party had no malicious intentions.
"Now you can talk."
"Of course, you're not afraid of me."
Nightingale's voice sounded a little happy, though,
"You and I have seen people react differently... They hate us because they fear us.
I can see fear in their eyes but in you.."
Inevitably he himself, he had to extend a hand and gently caress his cheek, she said,
"
Roland embarrassedly coughed twice, and then kept his head away from his hands.
Hey, don't change the mood too much, just a moment ago you were still a murderer, how could you suddenly change your style?
Fortunately, Roland quickly held back his emotions, though,
"I came here to tell you that I want to take Anna and Nana with me."
"No!' Roland became frightened, though,
and impulsively respond.
Then she was worried that if she rejected him altogether, she would be upset, so she added, adding,
"They have a very good life here, no one can hurt them.
Besides, where are you going?
There is no safer place than here. "
"I will take them to the Witch Cooperation Association
. Anyway, their house is right there,"
despite Roland's rejection, Nightingale was not angry, instead she still continued to talk to him in a calm tone,
"The other members of the Witch Cooperation Association are their friends, and there will be no discrimination or persecution, and they will no longer need to go undercover."
"You and the Witch Cooperation Association don't have a fixed home? A month ago, my bodyguard found your hideout in the woods.
They found footprints that led north... But in the north, there are only endless mountains!"
"You're right, Witch Cooperation
The association was hiding somewhere in the mountains, for us the witches were completely safe there."
"Like a wild person who lives in the mountains during the winter, in the end where will you be safe?
Do you have clean water?
Do you have enough food?
Is there a warm shelter?
And the Demon Moon will come, the entire northwest will be a dangerous place, in the end what -
"here to
Roland suddenly stopped, though,
what else, what did Barov say? "only on the mountain can a witch have true peace.
The Witch Cooperation Association's
is to find the Holy Mountain together."
"Fuck that, don't do that ..
"Have you gone to the impassable mountains to search for the Sacred Mountain?"
"I'm afraid I can't give you an answer"
Nightingale smiled, but her appearance could not be guessed correctly
"If so, I'll never agree." Roland firmly rejected their plan, though,
"It's only two months until the entire outside world is full of demonic beasts, even when you can avoid humans in the mountains, he said,
You cannot hide yourself from demonic beasts. What about this idea, though,
instead of searching for the Holy Mountain during the winter, you all came to the Border Town to pass the winter,
and when winter is over you can all try to find the Holy Mountain again. "
This time it was Nightingale's astonished turn, "The Witch Cooperation Association should be moved here?
You're a really interesting person,"
for a moment he thought about it, though,
but in the end, he still shook his head, "Your Majesty, even if you are not afraid of us witches, you know,
You can't guarantee it for your people. I was worried once we were exposed to everyone's eyes, though,
The Church Servant will be coming to knock on your door.
As long as the witches can help us pass through the Moon Demon smoothly, they will realize that the witches are not evil ones.
Just before Roland could open his mouth to speak,
he was stopped by
Nightingale, "In addition, there's another reason why I want to take the girls away,
Anna will soon turn into an adult."
"Adult?"
Yes, it seemed like she could see the doubt in Roland's mind, so Nightingale calmly explained,
"Adults are the first hurdle that all magicians must cross, the longer they pass through this hurdle, the harder it is to bear.
Generally, people usually turned into witches at a younger age than Anna.
Your Majesty, do you know why we can be considered as the incarnation of the devil?"
