After Tilly left the office, Roland let out a long breath.
Obviously, speaking nonsense in front of a smart person was a very stressful thing, especially when one had to maintain a sincere expression the entire time. Fortunately, Nightingale's report gave him a moment of respite — all the witches of Sleeping Island had returned to the castle, so Roland took the opportunity to end the conversation.
"What do you think? Do you have a special feeling facing your own sister, a witch?" Nightingale turned over and sat on the table, looking down at the Prince.
The latter rolled his eyes and grumpily said, "Is great pressure considered a special feeling?
"I thought it was going to be a touching reunion," she said, pursing her lips.
"I don't have a good relationship with her." Roland sighed. "I often bullied her in the palace. When she grew up, she was no different from a stranger. It's already a pleasant surprise that she could come here."
"Oh?" She said meaningfully, "You won't be alone with other strange witches. I see that you trust her."
That's because I don't want you to see me lying. Roland didn't answer. He refilled his teacup, leaned back in his chair, and slowly took a sip.
"In short … you will understand in the future."
Nightingale reached out and touched his lips. "You'll tell me everything, right?"
"… En."
"I'll accept this promise," she said with a chuckle, then disappeared in front of Roland.
Roland leaned back in his chair and recalled the entire conversation, looking for any possible loopholes. This was also the "most suitable" explanation he could think of. Years of work experience told him that the more lies he made up, the less they would stand up to scrutiny. Therefore, it would be difficult for him to justify his claims of deliberately hiding his abilities when he was young, finding ancient books by accident, or being taught by a hermit. In addition to being his sister, the other party was also the leader of the witch organization. Before the two sides formed a stable alliance, any exposed lies would bring a heavy blow to the trust.
So, he chose to tell the truth about the details that could be exposed, and the additional knowledge was all attributed to the sudden memory. Although it sounded incredible, compared to the even more incredible transmigration, at least there were not too many negative effects, and it could not be falsified. If it was the latter, it was hard to say whether she could accept a stranger from another world.
As long as he insisted that he was the Fourth Prince of Graycastle, no one could deny it. And what she wanted was probably an explanation from his own mouth. Roland knew in his heart that an outstanding leader would not always be entangled in the past. The most important thing was to work together and move forward. This winter would allow her to see the broad prospects of the Western Region, as well as his sincerity in cooperating with her. This could be considered a successful meeting. As for the relationship between them, there would be plenty of time to repair it in the future.
In the evening, a grand banquet was held in the castle hall.
Not to mention the common pepper steak, fried eggs, and white bread, all kinds of white wine, pan-fried Bird Beak Mushrooms, steamed dumplings, and ice cream all appeared on the stage, raising the taste of the dishes to a new level. At the same time, the concept of fancy platters was introduced. A large porcelain plate was filled with a small piece of staple food drizzled with sauce. The visual effect was excellent, and it made people feel hungry at first glance.
In the interlacing of toasts and candlelight, the banquet finally ended in a harmonious and lively atmosphere.
Next was the more formal meeting.
In the living room, the fireplace was blazing. Roland and the members of the Witch Union sat in a long row at the long table, while Tilly and the witches of Sleeping Island sat in the opposite row. Due to the sensitivity of her identity, Maggie simply turned into a pigeon and squatted on the chandelier overhead.
Tilly was the first to speak, "This time, in addition to helping Border Town resist the invasion of the demonic beasts, I also intend to bring back the five witches that were previously sent here." She gave a general description of the current situation on Sleeping Island. "Next spring, a group of ordinary people will move into the island from Silver Moon Bay. We will have to rely on Lotus and Honey to provide additional housing and food."
Roland suddenly felt a headache. The First Army could resist the demonic beasts. Except for the agile and high-speed hybrids, there was almost no need for witches. But in terms of construction, the role of the witches was irreplaceable. Currently, the mountain ridge at the port had not yet been opened, the dock was only half built, and he still wanted to build a few more groups of cave dwellings. "Can it be delayed for another half a month?
"I really want to agree, but the situation has changed." Tilly shook her head helplessly. "A mutated water ghost has appeared in the Southern Cape. You can think of it as a fish species of demonic beast. I suspect that all of this is related to the Months of Demons. It is said that the longer the Months of Demons, the more ferocious the demonic beasts will be, so it will be safer for them to travel earlier. "
"They are not suitable to fight."
"I know, so Breeze will escort them on the ship. Her ability is very effective in dealing with enemies with low intelligence. Moreover, we do not intend to return the way we came. Instead, we will go north along the coastline, and when we arrive at the Port of Clearwater, we will take the usual commercial route to Sleeping Island. According to the news from the bird messenger, there are no demonic beasts on the route between the Fjords and the Kingdom. "
Roland had to make a final effort. "Uh... in addition to Lotus and Honey, can the other three stay? They are only halfway through their primary education. If they leave now, it would be equivalent to giving up halfway... "
"Pfft," Tilly could not help but laugh. "It seems that you like them very much."
"..." For a moment, he did not know how to respond to this sentence.
"I want to ask, how do you use Candle and Evelyn's abilities?"
"Solidifying metal parts and making wine. The former can greatly improve the efficiency of mechanical operation, while the latter..." Roland paused for a moment. "Wine is a very good thing. In addition to drinking, it has many other uses."
"But on Sleeping Island, they are always worried that their abilities are useless, and often..." Tilly did not continue, but Roland guessed that it should be related to discrimination, just like what Mystery Moon had experienced in the Witch Cooperation Association. "I am very happy to hear that you want them to stay. Sure enough, every witch has a unique role, and their abilities are not meaningless." She looked at Evelyn and the others. "What do you think?"
"I want to follow you, Lady Tilly." Sylvie said.
"I..." Candle touched her head. "Anywhere is fine."
"Lady Tilly, if you need me, I will return to Sleeping Island." Evelyn was silent for a moment before replying. "Apart from that, I want to continue to stay in Border Town. I... still have many things I want to learn from Teacher Scroll. "
"Don't be so nervous. I'm not asking you to choose whether you want to stay or leave. This is not a matter of choosing between two." Tilly smiled and shook her head. "I just want to understand the situation of your life in Border Town. You can return to Sleeping Island at any time. Lotus and Honey will also come back. I even want to invite the witches of Border Town to visit Sleeping Island. I hope that through our efforts, in the future, whether it is in the Northern or Southern Territory, witches can live freely. Do you think I'm right? Brother. "
Roland was slightly startled. This was the first time he had heard her call him that in public. Even with the 4th Prince's memory, it was still more than ten years ago. He smiled and nodded. "There will be such a day."
