Laing's letter to Teresa was not long.
At least, it was not as long as the sorceress had imagined. In the letter, Laing briefly explained his recent situation and the change in his identity.
After a brief greeting, Laing euphemistically expressed that he needed the help of witches to govern his territory and asked Teresa if she was interested. He would pay her according to the normal price.
Finally, Laing expressed his greetings to her and her mother.
That's it? That's it?
Teresa leaned against the soft sofa pillow. After taking off her mink coat, the sorceress was left with a gold embroidered shirt and a pair of loose black wide-legged trousers, which set off the curves of her slender legs. She repeatedly read Laing's letter carefully three times and confirmed that there was really nothing else on the parchment except these brief words.
She was faintly disappointed.
The sorceress's impatience at the beginning had changed to joy, and now she was somewhat silent. The apprentice saw all of this and did not dare to say anything. She just stood with her hands by her side and bowed her head respectfully.
"When did you receive the letter?" Sure enough, there was a problem.
"At noon today, my Senator."
"Is there anything else other than the letter?"
"Nothing else, my Senator."
Teresa's silver pupils were faintly unhappy. She said softly, "Well, I see. You can leave now."
"Yes!" The apprentice was about to leave, but the sorceress immediately stopped her. "Wait! When this letter arrived at Sky Castle, how did you receive it? Were there any other letters? "
"I was present when the messenger arrived at Sky Castle, my Senator. As for the letter, there was indeed another one that was sent together with it." The apprentice thought for a while, as if recalling what had happened before. "The other letter was sent to Senator Veronica, but it was taken by Catherine."
He also sent it to Veronica! Teresa's eyes narrowed, sparks flying in her silver pupils. "Well, I see. You can leave now."
The apprentice withdrew, and the room became quiet again. Most of the witches liked to be quiet, especially in their own wizard tower. Teresa forced herself to calm down.
It had been almost a year. Was the Sorceress happy to receive Laing's letter?
Of course, there was no doubt about it.
Her long black hair swept across the sofa like a waterfall. The Sorceress' skin was like fine jade, shining with a moving luster. After a year, she had matured and become more powerful.
However, the distance between her and Laing had increased.
Outside the window, the weather was clear. Pure white snow had already covered the whole mountain peak, putting on a thick winter coat for the high mountains near the Heaven's Castle. The wind was whistling, passing through the wizard towers.
In the room, sparks were flying from the warm fire. Teresa took the letter and carefully read it again. Only after confirming that there was nothing missing did she sigh softly. Many memories of the past flooded her mind.
She decided to find her mother and ask for her opinion.
While the Sorceress was heading to her mother's room in the wizard tower, inside the Marvel Blue Council, a little girl was running hard in the corridor of the Heaven's Castle. Her golden hair fluttered in the air, and her black leather shoes made squeaking sounds.
The majestic Heaven's Castle towered into the clouds. As a castle, it occupied a large area, and a small city had long been formed inside. Several wizard towers connected the corridors in the air between the castles. It took a lot of time to travel from one place to the next.
In the corridor, many witches and wizard apprentices were frightened by the little girl's anxiousness.
"What's wrong, Catherine?"
"Catherine! You almost hit me, do you know that? "
"What's the latest news?"
The apprentices were often taught together by their mentors. They were all wearing standard red witch dresses and robes. Many of them recognized the little witch in front of them. She was the apprentice of Veronica.
"It's urgent! Everyone, make way! " Catherine gasped for breath and signaled everyone to make way. She had received a very important letter and had to show it to the Councilor immediately.
She ran through the corridor, down a circle of stairs, and then down a long slope, Catherine came to the door of a tower.
It was a wooden door, and the road in front of the door was completely blocked by a wolf statue. It seemed that there was no road in front of the door.
Catherine stopped in her tracks. The little apprentice's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat. She stood in front of the statue and took a deep breath. "Request entry."
"Please speak the code," the statue said.
"Laing is a heartless man," Catherine whispered with a red face after looking around to make sure there was no one around.
"Your answer is correct." The stone statue moved aside, revealing the door inside.
This was Veronica's residence.
Unlike the wealthy Aurora and her daughter, Veronica, who had fought her way out of the apprentice army, did not have the capital to build her own wizard tower. In the beginning, she was even very poor. Sometimes, she had to wander around for half a year, trying to find ways to make money.
But now, things were different. As her strength and status continued to rise, especially after Laing's fame and status rose, Councilor Margarita paid more attention to Veronica. After Veronica returned from her mission with the Aesthetical Association, Margarita arranged for Veronica to live in this small tower.
Councilor Margarita had never truly regarded this tower as her home. On the contrary, she only regarded this place as a temporary residence.
The councilor had been waiting for someone to call her. She was ready to stay by his side.
But the waiting time was a little long.
After waiting for a few months, the statue's pass became this. The little apprentice often thought of her mentor cursing a certain man with her teeth clenched, and she often wanted to laugh when he asked her if she had received any letters from that man.
"Knock, knock, knock. Councilor?" Katherine knocked on the door. Without a doubt, Veronica was in the room. Otherwise, the statue would not have answered.
"Councilor?" Katherine knocked harder when there was no answer.
"Is it Katherine? Didn't you go to class? " After a dozen seconds, a sweet female voice finally came from the room. The voice sounded a little surprised. "Why are you here at this time?"
The door opened.
Councilor Garita did not seem to have anything to do today. She wore a peach-colored dress with hanging leaves. Under the hem of the dress, her slender legs were revealed. She wore nude-colored stockings and white fish-shaped heels. Her toenails were also painted with red cardamom nail polish.
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were looking at her apprentice with a questioning look. Her long dark brown hair was even more gorgeous than her dress. It draped over her shoulders and was even smoother than the highest grade of Aurora silk. A pendant shining with a silver luster was hanging in front of the witch's chest. It bounced along with the owner's movements. This was a gift from someone, and this happy pendant had never left the witch's body.
"Stefana's history class might be a little boring, but you can still listen. Anyway … come in first." Veronica had just woken up. Witches loved beauty sleep, especially after she dreamed that a certain man had come looking for her last night. It took her a lot of effort to crawl out of bed in the morning.
She thought that her apprentice had come looking for her because she was bored in her history class.
In the room, the fireplace was burning vigorously. The special magic firewood could burn steadily for more than 18 hours. The floor was covered with all kinds of carpets, and on the carpets were many wooden furniture, including a large long table, chairs, dressers, and cabinets.
There was also an unfinished bottle of red wine and some bread on the table. It seemed that the councilor was having lunch. "Katherine? Do you want some bread and butter? "
"Ah, no! Councilor, there's a letter for you! "the little apprentice quickly said after Katherine froze for a moment.
"My letter? Who is it? If it's from that idiot Matthias, then throw it away! "Veronica said impatiently.
Around this time last year, when she had returned to Skydome Castle, Elder Aurora had arranged a long and troublesome job for her. That was to protect a count when he was patrolling his territory. The pay was quite good.
When the count's son, Matthias, saw Veronica, he was shocked and immediately began his crazy pursuit, constantly pestering her. The witch was also quite straightforward. She used her alchemy to make this Mr. Matthias' unable to have any descendants', turning him into an incomplete man.
Even now, the Garland Council was still arguing with the count, but under the will of Chairman Margarita, it was suppressed.
"No … It's from Sir Laing," Katherine said. The female apprentice's face turned red. "A messenger came here at noon today, bringing a letter from Sir Laing."
"Laing? That guy still dares to write to me?! " Who knew that Veronica wasn't happy at all. Instead, her sweet face was filled with a dangerous aura. "He's been a baron for several months, and only now does he remember to write to me?"
"Then this letter?" Katherine was a bit confused, and the apprentice didn't know how to answer. She handed the letter to Veronica and asked, "Councilor, do you want to see it?"
Her little hand was only halfway raised when the letter was snatched away by Veronica. The witch glanced at the wax seal, and after confirming that it was intact, she said in a muffled voice, "Alright, I've received the letter. You can continue with your class, Katherine."
"Yes, councilor." The apprentice really wanted to know what was written in the letter, but seeing Veronica's expression turn ugly, she still retreated.
There was an ancient warning among the apprentices of the Garland Council, and that was to not try to provoke their mentor.
"Wait! Katherine. " Veronica carefully opened the wax seal and motioned for her apprentice to come over. "It's fine. Come and sit down."
"Councilor?" The apprentice ran all the way to Veronica's side, her little face red.
"You've been with me for three years, right? There are some things I don't want to hide from you. Come, take a look at what Laing wrote in the letter. If he only wrote about himself and didn't mention anything about me, then throw this letter into the fire. "Veronica tied her hair behind her head and handed Laing's letter to her apprentice.
The witch's expression was a bit unnatural. She sat on the sofa next to the fireplace, her beautiful legs constantly shaking. This was different from her usual calm and collected demeanor.
Katherine opened the letter.
In the letter, Laing talked about recent events, how he arrived in Brittany and became a Holy Grail Knight and Baron Zeon. He also talked about how he participated in a knight's war and won the final victory.
Next, Leon described his current situation, including his relationship with his boss and his relationship with the fairy in the lake. He also emphasized that he had taken Amelia as his maid, as well as a Dark Elf as his maid.
Veronica sneered. "He never lacks women by his side."
"Councilor, Sir Laing said that his territory needs your help. He doesn't know how you plan to build your wizard tower, but he's prepared everything. When you arrive at Baron Zeon's territory, your wizard tower can be built immediately." Katherine continued to read the letter. Her face suddenly turned red. "Sir Laing hopes that you can leave as soon as possible. He said that he wants to make up for the missed Winter Veil with you. He wants to hug you and … ugh, and then xx …"
"Enough! Enough!" Veronica's face instantly turned red. The witch quickly grabbed the long piece of parchment and carefully read it herself.
Soon, the witch's face was also red.
The letter was not long. The witch did not know that the content of Laing's two letters were roughly the same. He used a more formal tone in the letter to Teresa, but to his partner, he used a more intimate tone.
Gently pressing the letter against her full breasts, Veronica took a deep breath and the expression on her face became much better. She could almost feel Laing's strength and smirk when he wrote the letter.
"It's finally here." The witch muttered to herself. "It will take at most a month to teleport to Marlin Castle and then to his territory. At the latest, I can arrive in early November."
"Katherine, you can go back first. I have something to discuss with Chancellor Margarita!"
"Yes, councilor."
I'll do it! Veronica had a simple lunch, then picked up Laing's letter and left her room in a hurry.
She was going to find the chancellor and apply for an assignment. She had already discussed this matter with the chancellor, so it was just a formality.
Coming out of her room, Veronica walked along the corridor in the castle toward the Wizard Tower in the center of Sky Castle.
After a few steps, she met someone she did not want to see.
The sorceress was wearing a mink coat, a shirt, and wide-legged pants. She was holding a letter in her hand and seemed to be looking for someone. Her footsteps were very fast.
Until Teresa saw Veronica standing in front of her.
The sorceress subconsciously stopped. "It's you!"
"Oh, isn't this our little Princess Garan?" Veronica's beautiful almond-shaped eyes stared at the sorceress's cold face. "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Halfway through her words, the witch suddenly saw the letter in Teresa's hand. "This … You also received Laing's letter?!"
"Hmph! That's right. Looks like Laing wrote to both of us. " Teresa's expression was as cold as ice. No matter how she looked at it, the witch in front of her made her unhappy. "Now I'm curious. What did he say to you in the letter?"
A purple staff appeared in the sorceress's hand.
"I'm curious as well. How did you get Laing to write to you, Miss Trovic? Did you crawl into Laing's bed? "Veronica narrowed her eyes.
Within ten seconds, the two women finished preparing their spells. Dark blue frost energy swirled around Teresa's staff. Veronica's fingertips also emitted red flames.
They both had their eyes on each other's letters.
"Give me your letter!"
"Give it to me!"
