Release that Witch - Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Training (Part I)

In the castle back garden stood a single shack, surrounded by a wooden wall, leaving only two holes for windows.

The shack was built out of natural colored brick and had a pond in front, three meters width and long, the ground was filled with loess. (yellow sandy soil typical of north China). The pond was filled with an appropriate amount of river water, this environment was not only difficult to burn, but also had a certain degree of plasticity, it seemed to be taken right out of a dream. Above the loess where several iron ingots piled up – these came from the blacksmith and were delivered by Carter.

The pool side was very beautiful, Roland took immediately a fancy to this place, he called Anna over, who was resting in the shed.

But as for a laboratory, this place was still too simple. He shook his head, employing some random stuff and have them build a perfect place was not possible. If he would find a suitable place in the future and collected all the resources he would get Barov to start building his place.

“How are you? Did you sleep well?”

After he turned around and looked at a bewildered Anna, he asked her with a smile.

The witch now and the witch yesterday were looking like two completely different persons – after careful cleaning, her long flax blond hair laid over her shoulder like a shawl and had a supple and shiny luster, although her skin didn’t got good care, however her youth made up for it, the lightish freckles which were on the bridge of her nose added a youthful vitality. Her stature was still thin, a slender body as if the wind could push her down, cheeks with a rosy color, the bruises and marks on her neck compared with yesterday were many times more pale. Roland suspected that witches got in addition to their magical sense an improvement of their physical strength.  At least in terms of recovery, Anna had to be much faster than an average person.

“Originally, since you experienced so many terrible things, you should be allowed to rest a few days, but the time is very urgent, you have to wait for compensation a little longer.”

Roland let the girl turn around in a circle, “This dress, does it fit well?”

Now Anna wore clothes he had carefully selected from a variety of programs – in order to satisfy his lewd taste. The full protective clothing, the iron workers wore was too thick, not suitable for her. While the gowns, many mages wore in games, appeared to be elegant and classy, in real life they restricted the mobility in every aspect, in addition all the gowns would easily be turned to ashes. As for maid dresses, hey, is there any better clothe than this?

Even if this world had no real maid outfit yet, it was not a big problem, the usual maid clothes were already a good prototype for later generations. So Roland directly took a set of clothes from Tyre and cut it to Anna’s body shape, shortening the skirt, long sleeves to short sleeves, the round neck collar became folded, once more knotted to a bow, so the new witch uniforms were released.

This was matched with a witch hat (customized), black boots (ready), as well as a overknee cape (ordered), in the past he could only see this in a movie, but right now, one stood in front of Roland, looking so much like a witch from earth.

“Your Highness, you …… What do I need to do for you?”

Anna really could not keep up with the ideas of the great man in front of her, she thought, that she was losing her ability to think quickly. Being dragged out of the dungeon, with a bag over her head, she believed she would soon be liberated of her cursed life. But after taking off the headgear, Anna found herself not seeing the gallows or the guillotine, but a magnificent big house. Then a bunch of people flooded in, undressing and bathing her. From armpit to toes, nothing was left unpolished.

Next it was the dressing room, she did not expect to need all this dresses to serve someone, she never knew that clothes could actually be so comfortable – they laid soft on the body, it was possible to feel the slightest friction.

Finally a white bearded old man entered the room, he ordered everyone else to step out; then he put a contract in front of her. At this moment she realized, the man who had hired her in prison was actually this kingdoms fourth prince, to employ her, the word actually was not a joke. The contract clearly said that, if she worked for the prince, there will be a gold royal every month.

Of course Anna knew what a gold dragon meant, her father, who was working in the mine all day, the amount of ore he mined determined how much salary he got, but the best harvest he ever got was one silver wolf. One hundred silver wolf’s could be converted to a gold dragon, and even this depended on the purity of the silver wolfs. So, was her job to accompany the prince while sleeping? When bathing, Anna heard the maids whispering, but she didn’t thought she was worth this price. With by the devil eroded blood vessels, she was a person full of filthiness …… after she was shunned, everyone knew her true identity, even if the prince’s curiosity was powerful to this extent, even if he did not fear the devil, he did not need to pay her any remuneration at all.

That night, no one came, she fell asleep peacefully. It was the softest bed Anna ever slept in, so she just laid down and slept immediately. The next day when she opened her eyes it was already noon, lunch was already served in her room, delivered were bread with cheese and a steak. Before, she obviously was ready to die – she had even decided to give up her life, paying back the world for her ˋsinsˋ? These were her original thoughts. But putting the steak into her mouth, Anna could not stop it, the tears were running down.

Gravy and pepper where mixed within her mouth, a strong hint of spice mingled with a sweet taste, attacking again and again her tastebuds…… Suddenly, she felt that the world was a little bit brighter.

If she could eat this food every day, even if demons attacked her body, she would have more courage to resist, right?

Now standing in this garden which resembled an old temple, nothing like the prison cage, she secretly made up my mind. Since the other party needed her, so whether it was to wear strange clothes, or even using the incredible devils power, she was willing to try. So she repeated her question, but this time she did not hesitate.

“Your Highness, what do you need me for?”

“Right now, I want you to control your own strength, try it over and over until you can send it out and receive it back freely.”

“You mean the devil -”

“No, no, Miss Anna,” Roland interrupted, “this is your strength.” The witch blinked with her eyes, her beautiful blue eyes.

“Most people in the world have the perception that the power of the witch belong to the devil, that it were extremely evil. In fact, they are wrong,” Roland squat his body down, looking at his counterpart on an equal level, “but you already didn’t think so, right?”

He remembered Anna’s chuckle in the dungeon, would an evil person laugh in such a way of self-mockery?

“I did not use my power to hurt someone else,” she said softly, “In addition to the robber.”

“Resistance is not a sin, you did the right thing. People fear you because they do not know you – they know that with training they can become a strong fighter, but they do not know how to become a witch. Unknown power is always scary. “

“You’re not afraid,” Anna said.

“Because I know it belongs to you,” Roland laughed, “but if that robber had such an amazing strength, I wouldn’t stand in front of him.”

“Well, let’s get started,” he said.
