Release that Witch - Chapter 465

Chapter 465
Wendy, Scroll, and Spear were sitting in the castle hall, enjoying the top-grade black tea that was imported from the City of Glow .




Wendy took the whistling kettle off the pot hook in the fireplace and poured the boiled well water into a tea cup . Watching the water surface gradually being dyed a transparent orange and sniffing the mellow aroma that came from the rising steam, she felt her whole body become lazy . After blowing on the cup to cool down the tea, she took a small sip . The initial taste was slightly bitter, but it slowly turned into a fresh and sweet taste that rejuvenated her lips and tongue . As the warm liquid flowed into her abdomen, she uncontrollably let out a satisfied groan .
On the other side of the hall, Paper was still fiddling with the Sigil of God's Will . She had already mastered the skill of injecting magic power into the sigil, and was also able to accurately control the output of magic power . But no matter how she tried, she was only able to light up the first magic stone on the sigil .
"Whenever I see her, I'll think of the days in the Witch Cooperation Association," Scroll said emotionally . "At that time, nobody thought that we would all be able to live a life like what we have today . "
"If we were able to foresee the future, Cara wouldn't have persisted so stubbornly . " Wendy placed her cup down . "It's good that in the future, our awakened sisters won't have to experience the same suffering as we did . " As she spoke, she started laughing . "We're probably the last batch of witches who had to suffer . "
"Also the oldest batch, which means we'll enjoy the least number of good days," Scroll added while placing her hand on her forehead . "Sounds like we got the worst lot . "
"That's why you came back early today just to enjoy a bit more leisure time?" Wendy joked .
"I left only after completing my duties . " The latter shrugged her shoulders . "His Highness Roland is away and thus the amount of work is much less than usual . I'm somewhat not used to it . "
"Is that so?" Wendy raised her eyebrows . "When His Highness returns, I'll tell him what you said word-for-word . "
"Oh . . . then, for the next exam, I can't promise that you'll be able to understand every question . "




"You two have such a great relationship . " Spear giggled as she listened to the conversation . "Although I'm not young anymore, I've never enjoyed such a deep relationship with anyone . You two are among the most fortunate of the witches . "
"That goes without saying . Not every witch has a powerful father," Scroll said, and drank a mouthful of tea before continuing, "and he would pass on everything he has to his daughter—even in the noble, such people are rare . "
"By the way, how's it going in the City Hall?" Wendy looked towards Spear . "I've heard that you'll go there whenever you're free recently . "
"There're many benefits of going . " Spear exhaled deeply . "This's the first time I've gained insight into a departmental management style that's so well-ordered and demarcated, yet allows the departments to work closely together . Instead of having the ministers of each department conduct their own employee recruitment and compensation, the City Hall takes care of it for them . This way, there's less difficulty in replacing employees, and also allows capable citizens to enter the civil service without hindrance . I've no idea how His Highness conceived this idea . "
"She even had a very nice chat with Barov . " Scroll jested .
"Ahem, he was simply consulting me about a few questions related to the laws of the noble, which I happened to have a good understanding of," Spear said, shaking her head . "Also, the new laws laid down by His Highness are very unique, and may even be implemented in the Fallen Dragon Ridge . I discussed this with Barov for a little longer . "
"Oh? How are they unique?"
"Such as the part regarding the definition of citizenship . . . "
"Sister Wendy, when will I be able to light up the second magic stone?" Paper had joined in unexpectedly and bawled as she held up the Sigil of God's Will .

"When you're a bit older . " Wendy reached her hand out to the young girl . "Come, let me give you a hug . "
Paper held on to Wendy's outstretched hand and climbed into her embrace .
Wendy caressed Paper's head as she watched the other two witches discuss the new laws, and felt a sense of calm .
It would be so good if this life could last forever .
At this moment, a guard entered the hall . He first glanced around the room before walking up to the four witches with a slight hesitation .
"Something happened?" Wendy recognized him—he was a personal guard of His Highness .
"Lady Wendy, someone has arrived from outside the castle, and she claims that her daughter has just been awakened as a witch . . . " The guard said while making a salute . "His Highness has specified that when he's not around, you'll be in charge of such issues . "
"What?" The three witches were shocked simultaneously . "A new awakened witch?"
"That's what the person said . "




"Quick, take me to her," Wendy immediately responded .
. . .
At the main gate of the castle, Wendy saw two citizens waiting in the cold wind . One of them seemed about 40 years old, her hair already turned half-white, and the wrinkles on her forehead were deep and long . She was wearing an old-fashioned coat and her stature was slightly hunched . The other person was much younger, about 17 or 18 years old, and she stood reservedly beside the elder woman .
"This's Lady Wendy of the Witch Union . " The guard introduced .
"Our greetings, Lady Wendy . " The two citizens bowed respectfully .
"They claim to be migrants from the Southern Territory and that they moved into an inner city residential district half a month ago . I've verified their identity cards and found no issue with the information they provided . "
"You're the witch?" Wendy looked towards the young woman and spoke in the tenderest voice she could . "What's your name?"
"Lady Wendy's asking you a question . " The elder woman tugged on the younger one's sleeve .
"Summer," the latter murmured .
"You're her . . . mother?"
"Yes, yes, indeed . Her father is still working at the Furnace Area, so I brought her over . " The elder woman nodded repeatedly . "Lady Wendy, may I ask if what His Highness stated on the bulletin is true . . . that witches are entitled to a wage of one gold royal every month?"
"It's true indeed, but she has to be willing to join the Witch Union . "
"I . . . " Summer opened her mouth .
"She's willing, she's definitely willing to serve and dedicate everything to His Highness . " The mother interrupted her daughter . "Do we have to sign a contract? When will we receive the money?"
These words made Wendy frown uncontrollably . It was not hard to decipher from her tone that the mother not only treated her daughter as an object for sale, but also thought that the Witch Union was a place of pleasure for His Highness .
Wendy held back her unhappiness and replied placidly, "His Highness is currently handling some affairs in Longsong Stronghold, and I'm not sure when he'll be back . Furthermore, there'll be a few examinations and tests before she can join the Union . You may leave your daughter to our care in the castle, and when His Highness returns, we'll arrange for you to sign the contract . "
No matter what, Summer was innocent, and thus Wendy did not want to impose her anger towards the ignorant mother on to her . Even though witches were already accepted by the majority of the town's inhabitants, the refugees who recently arrived in the Western Region still possessed a gross misunderstanding of them .
"I'll entrust her to you, Lady Wendy . " The mother made a deep bow and then patted her daughter's head . "Behave well and don't disappoint His Highness . "
"Mom, I . . . " Summer wanted to say something, but the elder woman had already turned and walked towards the exit ramp .
