The Release That Witch
Chapters 99's

The witches could not sleep at the moment, after suffering for so long, they still could not believe that they were being welcomed by the Prince. There were no shackles and guards, the Prince even allowed everyone to stay inside the castle, sleeping in such a spacious room.

Wendy had expected that her sister would feel uncomfortable, so she along with Nightingale went to pick up all their sisters and meet in one room. There they sat on the ground in a circle, chatting merrily and calming their emotions.

This was the way that a leader should have, Leaves thought to himself, if it was Cara, who was really meticulous, he would never notice their condition, or even if he were to notice it, he would see no reason to comfort her.

"Sister Wendy, Your Majesty ... What should we do?" The hummingbird asked timidly. "Our capabilities are much worse than you and Sister Nightingale can offer.”

This elicited a feeling of resonance within his other sister, who nodded in support of him.

Wendy saw this start laughing, "Let me think, well ... The first thing you should do is train your skills.”

"Train our abilities?" Soraya asked doubtfully, "Does Your Majesty want me to draw a portrait of him all day?”

"Maybe," Wendy patted the Mystery Moon's head. "You too, even if Cara forbids you from using your abilities in the camp, Your Highness does not. Instead, he even encourages you to use and discover your own abilities.”

"But my abilities bring trouble to our sisters" Mystery said in a very quiet voice.

"Although that's the case, you still have to practice" said Wendy firmly. "It was to save your life."

"What is the relationship of life and death by training our abilities?" Leaves could not help but ask.

"Yes, the witches with His Majesty's method were able to survive safely on the Day of Resurrection," Nightingale interrupted before Wendy could answer. "From now on, we can say goodbye to the devil's bite, we all sisters can easily pass the Day of Resurrection."

All the witches were now staring at Nightingale, and for now they could not believe what they heard. "Are you talking about what happened to Miss Anna?" Scroll asked in surprise, "but last time you didn't tell us how he could do it.”

"Yes, back then it was only His Majesty's speculation, but in the meantime, it was also Nana's resurrection Day - the whole day he wasn't hurt."

"Then this method is ..." Scroll couldn't speak any further, it was too unbelievable.

"As long as we can exhaust all of our magic power every day," Nightingale continued explaining, "I can see how the magic power inside your body changes, due to ordinary use, your body is able to adapt to magic. and your magic reserves will also increase - while at the same time the suffering during the demon bite will also decrease. As you approach your Day of Resurrection, as long as you consume all of your magic and keep your magic reserves blank, the devil bite will not harm your body. "

"I think everyone can even sense it faintly," Wendy added, "Although we are always chased by the church, we always hide in the farthest parts of the city, not daring to use our abilities. So every winter we lose a lot of sisters. But this year, while living in a camp in the Unpassable Mountains, other than Ari and Ami, everyone can live safely through the Day of Resurrection. ”

"Yes, the Sacred Mountain is not a place" Wendy nodded. "As long as we can accept ourselves for who we are, not thinking of ourselves as subordinates of the devil, and when no longer hiding our abilities, we are our own Holy Mountain.”

"Wendy even asked His Majesty if he would allow her to go to the Witch Cooperation Association camp when the Demon Moon ended, to tell you the news." Nightingale looked at Wendy and softly said, "Like this, even if you don't find the Sacred Mountain, you can still live freely within the mountains."

"Since everyone is here now, there's no need to say this," Wendy smiled and shook her head, "It doesn't matter whether you are needed by His Majesty or not. Even if it's just for the reason of keeping yourself safe, you need to practice every day. "

"If this is really the key to releasing us from the devil's bite, could it be that other witches are already aware of this?" Scroll asked and after thinking for a moment, she answered her own question, "We are not the first Witch Society. The Kingdom of Dawn and the Kingdom of Wolfheart already had their own society. We even sent them a letter inviting them to accompany us on our quest for the Holy Mountain, but we never received any reply from them.

Leaf gently sighed, she had the same thought but did not say it. Ever since Cara found the ancient book in the ruins at the eastern border of the Kingdom of Graycastle, she had great faith in the Sacred Mountain and took us all with her in her quest. At this point, the community began their long journey into exile, almost throughout the kingdom. During the trip, we met many new sisters, but we also lost many of them. If we had hidden ourselves in the rubble from the start, would we have found the key?

"We can try to contact the witches hiding in other cities," Nightingale suggested, "however this is His Majesty's plan. He wanted the other witches to know about this safe haven by releasing rumors. Like this, it would definitely greatly vent their worries. .

"In the end, I still don't understand the meaning of why Your Majesty should accept all of us witches?" echo asked, clearly confused. The southern witch obviously suffered worse than most other witches. First, he was sold by his own people to a businessman in the Port of Clearwater, who then took him to the capital to sell him once again to the King. He was forced to learn royal etiquette and how to dance. He even had to learn how to skillfully please a man. If not for the Witch Cooperation Association saving him, he might have already been sold at a very high price to the hands of the Duke or Minister. Until now, his speech still uses his own southern accent.

“Maybe she is just like the people who previously wanted to buy you,” Lily said while sneering, “Male is ..”

"Don't talk about things you don't understand, Lily," Nightingale said sternly and clearly displeased. "Your Majesty, Mr. Roland, is clearly different from everything you're talking about, after all, some of us have lived here quite a long time.”

"Let's end up here for today," Wendy said as she kept a friendly smile, "It's late at night, so everyone should go back to their respective rooms and try to sleep. Even if your abilities were completely useless to His Majesty, he still said that all he wanted was for all of you to be able to live life in Border Town as normally as possible. If you want to know what His Majesty will ask for tomorrow, it is, "here he deliberately paused for a moment, "I want you to accept this contract.”

After Scroll and Leaves finally returned to their own rooms and closed their doors, the first said: "It's too late we have to sleep now."

"Good." Even before His Majesty asked about his abilities, he had already arranged a room for him and Scroll together. Even so, he said that this was only a temporary arrangement, and if the construction inside the city was completed he could get his own room. But in his view, this bed was spacious enough for three people, so there was no problem.

He took off his coat, went under the blanket and was immediately wrapped by an indescribable feeling of softness and comfort. After feeling so much pleasure from finally having a comfortable bed to sleep in, Leaves could not help but hum and started humming happily while burrowing his head into the pillow. After a long time, he gently asked: "Do you blame Cara for what we have to deal with?”

Scroll was silent for a long time, then she sighed and finally said, "No one can predict the future, no matter what he does later, no matter what he does, at least at the beginning he really wanted to find a home for us witches. Where we can live in peace, without having to think about bad things. But this isn't important, you need to sleep now, son. "

With this he closed his eyes and muttered, "Good night."
