The Release That Witch
Chapters 106's

When Scroll knocked on the door, she quickly heard the answer from the other side, "Please enter."

Hearing this he opened the door and entered the room. Inside the room she saw Anna sitting at her desk in front of the window, busy reading a thick book.

Sunlight flooded the room through the window, unfurling the woman's silhouette to an incredible length. Under the sunlight, her delicate cheeks and neck appeared dazzling white, and the light yellow hair covering her shoulders seemed to be made of white gold.

After nearly a week of living together, Scroll basically understood Anna's temperament. For example, if he wants to say something, he will speak frankly and never dodge. He was calm and reserved, especially studious ... In short, it was difficult to find another civilian-born person like Anna who was completely at peace with herself.

"How could you not play ... that card game?" Scroll took the chair and placed it next to Anna. For the past two days, every time his sister finished their daily training, they would immediately return to the castle, he said, thronging the rooms Soraya plays the so-called Gwent card game and competes with each other to collect more cards. It seems like they will never get bored with this. He even saw Anna and Nana play this game every day after they learned the rules. There are only rare occasions where they don't play. Unlike his previous days, he often saw young girls with healing powers coming to the castle to play.

"I just want to read a few books," Anna turned to the next page, "Since I don't have your abilities, I should spend more time reading books."

Anna almost read everything from historical biographies to long poems, including every book she saw on the streets despite being a variety of folklore, as long as it was collected into a book, he will read it with pleasure.

Scroll touched his head sympathetically, "Don't worry. Remind me that I want to give you a new book to read."

Just because of him, the fate of our survivors from the Witch Cooperation Association changed drastically, Scroll thought. If not for him, Nightingale would never have gone halfway to Border Town. So we will never meet the 4th Prince of the Kingdom of Graycastle, and hence we will never know the method to stay healthy. In a sense, he was the savior for all witches.

That was also the reason why Scroll had from the beginning only felt good for Anna, while the latter had also quickly accepted other witches who had so much knowledge and experience. But it was also clear that Anna was extremely envious of Scroll for her ability, which in return Scroll was a bit ridiculous. In the Witch Cooperation Association, the sisters never showed envy at the abilities of other witches. It was even more ridiculous because Anna had the greatest magic capacity the Nightingale had ever seen before, moreover her green fire ability was also one of the strongest.

"Your hair is getting a little long" Anna's curly bangs almost covered her eyes, "Can anyone help you cut it?"

Anna shook her head. "No, I'm alone."

Suddenly Scroll became very motivated, "Your tangled hair is not good, let me cut it for you.”

"You're gonna do this for me?"

"I've cut most of the sisters' hair during our time in camp, '" Scroll replied happily. "Wait a minute, I'll take the tools."

He immediately returned while holding a cloth bag. As she spread out the contents of the bag, Anna saw several pieces of white clothes and bronze scissors. The scissors are V-shaped, and at both ends there are many scratches, it has lost its shine and clearly shows that the scissors are used well.

Before Scroll joined the Witch Cooperation Association, scissors were used to help her cut the hair of her customers in the Sea Wind Region. All the copper nobles he did not need to buy bread were handed over to an old captain with a broken leg. This captain was the one who taught him to read and write until he died of old age.

Scrolls skillfully placed one of the white clothes on Anna's neck, and began to cut her hair.

"I have a few questions I want to ask you" Anna announced.

"What do you want to know?" Under his skilled fingers the scissors pierced through Anna's hair, always letting out Kaka's sharp voice. Soon the first clump of finger-length hair was cut off and fell to the ground.

Hearing this question, Scroll's hand paused for a moment, the story in the book was not a story of a real person, but rather a collection of stories he had heard for ten years in the Sea Wind Region. It was a story told by the sailors to him. But Scroll specifically put this kind of story together, and any story where the Prince wouldn't marry the Princess didn't have a happy ending. This type of story was put together in one book and then he gave it to Anna to read.

Always knew that after reading Anna would ask him this question, but now that she really had to answer that question, she hesitated.

"Often this happens, of course, some princes will also marry the daughter of the Grand Duke or Duke, for example, King Wimbledon III of Graycastle, his wife is the daughter of the Duke of Silvercity."

Answering questions like this, Scroll suddenly felt very sad. Wendy and Scroll themselves had already talked about Nightingale's situation but compared to the mature and calm Shadow Killer, he was more worried about the possibility that Prince and Anna would develop deeper feelings and become closer.

Anna was a very important woman to His Majesty, and everyone could see this clearly. When Anna and Roland were in the same room, her eyes would always be on him. Anna's life was several times busier compared to the other sisters. More important than that was that even Nightingale had to share a room with Wendy, but Her Majesty did not turn Anna's room into a double room, making her the only one allowed to have a room for herself. The reason for that was when Nana came to sleep in the castle, she can share a room with Anna - she seems unaware that she is the owner of this place and there is no reason she should explain herself.

And for Anna it was the same case, when she was together with another witch she was a quiet person, she was even for most of the time just a quiet listener. But when Roland was by his side, he would soon become active. If there was anything that could make him forget his books, Scroll thought that only the Prince could achieve this.

Unfortunately, Roland was the 4th son of the former King of Graycastle, the future King who would support the witches, and Anna was just a witch.

Since Roland was a Prince, Scroll was unable to order it, so she had no other choice but to influence Anna in the direction she thought was right. He did not want the two to be estranged from each other, but he also did not want to see it end with the only possible outcome, a tragedy.

"Why?" anna asked shaking her head, as if trying to bring out the memories of her shattered dream from her head. "Does he have to do this, even though he doesn't like princesses or other noble ladies?"

"Nh ..." Scroll didn't think she would continue to ask, "Even then she still had to marry them."

Because the Prince will most likely be the new king and the king's marriage cannot be his own personal decision. He tried to recall some knowledge from the books that would help him, he said,

"To stabilize the power in his own country. To calm the neighboring country. To reach a good agreement, these are all important reasons to marry a princess. But the most important thing is that the King must have an heir. "

Hearing all this, Anna did not ask any further, which actually made Scroll a little relieved. This kind of thing was something that was only achieved slowly, not something that he could force. But he believes that one day Anna will understand his thoughts.

As the pruning ended, Scroll scratched the fringe on Anna's shoulder, "Now, you look great."

"Thank you" Anna said and bowed in gratitude.

"Well, for today's book ..." Scroll thought for a moment, then she decided to tell him about the history of the Wolfsheart Kingdom, trying to strengthen the impression she had put on today, "the biography of the royal family of her own choice."

When Scroll was finally ready to leave, Anna suddenly started talking, still holding the illusion book in her hand, "I don't think Roland is one of the Princes of your story." His voice was very steady and strong, there was nothing as if he was just talking to convince himself, "He will do whatever he wants to do. His decision will not be influenced by anything else."

"..." - ".For a long time Scroll was surprised, and in the end, she could only ask, "Why?"

"If he's one of those princes, he'll never save me."
