...
When Vendy walked into the hospital with a box of dinner in her hand, she saw Nana's father, Sir Pine, talking with a man and a woman.
Then the two men bent their knees, as if they wanted to kneel down, but were stopped by Viscount Pine. After a moment of stalemate, the two of them could only bow a few times before leaving while turning their heads back every few steps.
When they disappeared at the gate, Vendy curiously walked over and asked, "Who are they?"
"Who else could it be? That little devil's parents." Sir Pine shrugged. "They were worried about the child staying alone in the hospital, so they asked if they could take her home. However, when he found out that it was His Majesty's idea to let her stay here, he immediately changed his mind and thanked His Majesty profusely. "When he reached the latter half of his sentence, his tone was a little regretful, but also a little proud.
Vendy could not help but laugh. "Do you think everyone can be like you, daring to break into the Lord's castle for their daughter?"
She knew what he was regretting. Probably in the viscount's eyes, even if it was His Majesty's request, he should not easily hand over his daughter. When Nana awakened, Sir Pine did not even prepare a letter of visit, and directly went to Roland's castle. Fortunately, the 4th Prince himself was generous and merciful, and he didn't have any intention of persecuting the witches, so this story became a well-told story. Otherwise, if it had been the mansion of Duke Ryan or one of the great nobles of the Western Region, Mr. Pine would have suffered a lot.
Although this had happened before Vendy's arrival in Border Town, she had already heard Nightingale's story many times, so she naturally understood why Sir Pine was so proud.
"Compared to Summer's parents, they are much better." Thinking of this, Vendy sighed.
Summer's family had also awakened as a witch, but the only thing they could think of was the Golden Dragon. Not only did they eagerly send their daughter to Roland, but they also ordered her to do whatever His Majesty and the Witch Union asked. They completely regarded Summer as a commodity to be sold. If it weren't for the fact that the Golden Dragon was directly handed over to them, it was estimated that the family would not allow A Xia to return home.
Because of this completely different attitude, after Summer became familiar with her sisters, she gradually got used to living freely in the Witch Building and went back less and less often.
For a witch, she was lucky.
But as a girl, her parents had abandoned her.
"That's also true," Mr. Tigu nodded, "One of them works in the furnace area and the other is a handyman in the construction team. They only heard the news after a busy day, so they didn't even have a meal before coming here. At least from their expressions, I can tell that they still care a lot about that kid. "
"It seems that I didn't bring this box of dinner for nothing." Vendy smiled. "Can you take me to see Sharon?"
"Of course, please come with me," Sir Pine said while stroking his beard.
…
According to His Majesty's request, the expanded medical hospital had set up a residential area for patients, but very few people actually needed to stay in the hospital for treatment. Nana and Lily almost took care of all the diseases in Neverwinter. Most patients only needed to wait in the hall for a while before they recovered and left.
The main reason why Sharon stayed overnight in the medical hospital was to prevent accidents. After all, the influence of the church had not completely disappeared. It was still unknown whether the immigrants from all over Graycastle had accepted the idea that witches and ordinary people could coexist in a friendly manner. But now, at least Sharon did not have to worry about being killed by her family or becoming homeless.
When they arrived at the door of a ward in the residential area, Sir Pine pushed open the door and waved to his daughter, who was lying on the bed. "It's time to eat. I'll talk to my friend later."
"Aren't we eating together?" Nana asked in surprise. Then she saw Vendy and said, "Sister Vendy, you're here too."
"Yes," Vendy smiled and patted the box of dinner. "I brought her dinner."
"I see." The little girl suddenly understood. "You guys talk first. I'll come back later." She said goodbye to Sharon and followed her father out of the room.
Vendy walked to the bedside and put the box of dinner on the cabinet. She turned around and looked at the patient who was looking at her curiously. "How does it feel to be a witch?"
The girl had very bright short hair, like a rose that had just sprouted. It was a rare hair color in Graycastle. Her facial features were still not fully developed and looked somewhat immature, but with the awakening of her magic, a witch's appearance would gradually improve. Vendy could already imagine how outstanding she would be when she became an adult.
"I feel like there's something in my body … Miss Nana said it's magic power." Sharon pursed her lips and said, "Are you also a witch? Does it always hurt for the first time? "
"Yes, you can call me Vendy." Although it sounded a little ambiguous, she knew what Sharon was referring to. "As for the second question, the answer is not necessarily … But it's not important. As long as you learn how to use it, magic power will be part of your body, just like your limbs." Vendy opened the iron box and put the hot food on the bedside table.
Sharon swallowed hard, and her stomach made a series of growling sounds.
She blushed immediately.
"Hungry?" Vendy smiled and brought the fresh soup made from Bird's Kiss Mushrooms to Sharon.
There were a few green onions floating on the pale yellow soup, and the circles of oil sparkled under the light of the stove. Compared to the bland vegetable soup, one could almost smell the aroma of meat and the fresh and fragrant soup. It was especially tempting.
Based on His Majesty's practice of holding a banquet whenever he met a new witch, she had also learned to use delicious food to calm people's hearts.
Sharon nodded her head vigorously.
"Have some soup to warm your stomach first, then eat something else," Vendy said softly.
Seeing the little girl wolfing down the food, even Sharon felt a little hungry.
"Where's your friend? Has she gone back? "
"I don't know … I think so," Sharon said while eating.
"She didn't come to see you?" Vendy asked in surprise.
"No …" The girl shook her head. "After all, I'm from the Southern Territory, just like those people who bullied her. She probably doesn't fully believe me, right? "
"Wait." Vendy could not help but be stunned. "You're from the Southern Territory?"
"Yes." Sharon put a piece of Bird's Kiss Mushroom into her mouth. "Maple Town, a small town near Eagle City … But now it's uninhabitable."
"I always thought that you and she both moved here from the east," Vendy said in surprise. "That's why you helped her."
"Can't I help her if we're not from the same place?" Sharon blinked and replied seriously, "The disputes between the nobles obviously have nothing to do with her. Those people were just looking for trouble. It has nothing to do with where she was born. Wrong is wrong. If I hadn't stood up at that time, no one would have been able to correct this mistake. "
Vendy was stunned for a while, and it took her a while to come to her senses.
"Maybe you're worrying too much, Your Majesty," she thought. "This child doesn't need my comfort."
The look in her eyes was unmistakable. She was sure of her choice.
