The Release That Witch
Chapters 62's

Today was a fun day with so many surprising things that Roland did not want to continue the tedious work with the steam engine. Instead, he asked the chef to prepare a fabulous dinner of black pepper steak and fried eggs without any restrictions on the amount that everyone could eat. After eating, Lightning and Anna had to pat their swollen bellies while Nana, who was chewing the last piece of meat, was still excited. In addition to dinner, she had asked her servant to prepare and deliver soup from tender meat and wax pulp in a hot preservative porcelain dish for Nightingale. As soon as Nightingale and Wendy woke up, they could instantly eat hot food.

After dinner, the next step is to arrange a room for everyone. Fortunately, the ruler of Border Town liked the beauty and splendor. Although this small town was only built for mining, as an initial security point, the castle is still built to the standard of a medium-sized city. Thanks to this, Roland now had a nine hundred square meter living room spread over three floors, along with a watchtower and a pagoda-shaped arrow tower at the four corners of the castle . He also has his own front room and back garden.

Roland arranged the room opposite Anna's room for Lightning while the next room went to Wendy after rehab. When Roland saw Nana enter Anna's room with the sugar stick in her hand, he inevitably shook his head in amusement.

Back in his office, Roland poured himself a cup of beer. A plan is only good until the first deviation. He had thought that with the help of Nightingale, he would get a lot of new magicians, get a boost in science and technology and improve agriculture etc, but he never expected that the leader of the Witch Cooperation Association would have such enmity towards non-witches. Witches like Nightingale seem to be a minority. Wendy .. after speaking to Lightning she knew that Wendy actually did not want to leave the Witch Cooperation Association. She only intended to save Nightingale, but after her intervention, she was treated as a traitor by Cara and the other witches.

After his first drink, Roland poured a second drink for himself. Even if the beer is not the best, it is still better than nothing.

During the meal, Roland asked Lightning about him and Wendy's abilities. Lightning says she can fly like a bird and fly freely in the air while Wendy can control the wind. Hearing this, Roland could not think of a good use for technological improvement, but for the upcoming war they had great potential.

He also asked about the abilities of the other witches in the camp and found that their abilities varied greatly and did not seem to follow any rules. Some effects are almost inexplicable with science while some are downright bizarre.

For example, Cara the Serpent Witch, founder of the Witch Cooperation Association. He could condense his magic into snakes - these snakes were not illusions, they could be touched and also attack enemies. Different snake colors represent various snake can. Lighting itself sees only two types of snakes, paralysis and poison.

Roland discovered that not only Anna, but Cara and the other witches could also only use their magic within a small distance. For example, when Anna's Green Flame left a distance of five meters, it would suddenly disappear. Cara's snake also could not stray too far. For Nightingale, it was a shorter distance. When he wants to affect a foreign object, he must leave his fog and be seen.

For this reason, they were always equipped with bow arrows if they had to face the Church or other soldiers who possessed the Stone of God's Retaliation. Otherwise, they could only run in all directions.

Roland worked until midnight, and the fire in the fireplace was already dim. When she started sneezing, she thought it was time to go to sleep.

When he opened the door to his bedroom, he thought he had entered into the wrong room - it was a familiar sight again, where a woman was already in that room, she said, sitting on his bed. His figure was half shrouded in darkness, his fire-reflected shadow was only displayed in mosaics, like a wall painting. However, this time there was a big difference with the previous incident, which was that the woman was no longer wearing a body-covering robe. Instead, he replaced it with ordinary civilian clothes. Her appearance was no longer hidden from the outside world, and now everyone could instantly see her appearance.

Nightingales.

Roland became a little nervous, this kind of battle, will this ... be lucky?

"You've been working hard the last few days." Roland coughed, breaking the silence and then continued, "Why don't you rest longer? Lightning has told me everything."

Hearing this, Nightingale shook her head, giving a serious impression. This gave Roland the feeling that something was wrong, and in his eyes he could see an indescribable dedication. Roland realized that he had made a decision and focused his emotions towards her. This expression of determination was hard for many to see, so Roland waited until the others found the right word.

However, Nightingale did not speak immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath, knelt while holding a dagger in his hand, and slightly lowered his head - this was the etiquette for a standard knight ceremony, when someone part of the aristocracy swears allegiance to a superior, they often do so in this way.

"Your Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon, I, Veronica, also known as Nightingale, swear," he said in a formal tone, "As long as you are kind to the witches, I will be at your service, I will be at your service, either as a powerful shield against demons, or as your personal sword all night, without fear of regret, until the last moment of my life. "

Roland thought, so this was his decision after the Witch Cooperation Association became very disappointing to him and shattered his hopes of leading the witches to a better future . If it went as he wanted, he would reject his offer, as he was more used to hiring or cooperating. If there are further ambitions and shared ideals, they can become partners.

However, he knew that sometimes there was no point in emphasizing equality and freedom. As long as there is no suitable soil, even the best seeds will rot. As a prince, he would not be able to leave his role as a prince until he united the kingdom ..

After a moment of silence, Roland acted according to the etiquette of the palace in the memory of the former prince . He took out a dagger and then touched his shoulder three times with his own sword, "I accept your loyalty."

Nightingale's shoulders trembled slightly. It seemed like he could finally relax.

Then he stretched out his right hand, holding it in front of him.

Nightingale took her fingers and gently kissed her on the back of her hand. With this the ritual ends.

Although the loyalty ceremonies performed by the witches were very inconspicuous, following the entire set of actions could not be archived against the usual background ,. And he also calls himself Veronica ... "Is Veronica your real name? Don't you have a last name?" Roland pulled her and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I've no intention of hiding anything from you. Five years ago, I left Gilen's house. Now me and the house have nothing to do with each other." Nightingale told him everything, and even put the final barrier into her heart by telling her own past.

He was born in Silver City, a city whose name came naturally from their useful silver mines. His father was a viscount, but his mother was born as an ordinary person. Such marriages are not common, but both work well. In addition, Nightingale also had a brother named Hyde. He spent his entire childhood in Silver City, and it was the happiest period of his life.
