Chapter 176 The Answer From the Bottom of My Heart

After staying in the air for half an hour, the hot air balloon slowly landed in the courtyard of the castle.

As soon as the hanging basket landed, the witches who were attracted by the hot air balloon surrounded them one after another. Compared to the beginning when only Nightingale was present, now the members of the Witch Union are basically all present, and the scroll that just returned from the city hall even trotted over. . After she asked about the situation, she kept looking at the sky worriedly, for fear that the huge sphere would fall down.

As soon as His Royal Highness climbed out of the hanging basket, Shujuan and Wendy immediately went up to preach for a while, advising the other party not to put themselves in danger. After a few words of defense, the prince wisely diverted the topic with this novelty. Nightingale thought it was a bit funny, and when she was about to go up to meet her, she suddenly froze and stopped in place.

She saw that Anna's eyes were full of smiles and her cheeks were flushed when she was carried out of the basket by His Royal Highness Roland. The flaxen bangs were neatly parted to one side, and there was a small clip hanging from the hair, shining silver.

Nightingale remembered a piece of silver ingot he had sharpened by hand when he was instructing the blacksmith to operate those big machines a few days ago in the workshop.

Is that a hairpin made by His Highness himself?

The other witches also clamored to take the hot air balloon, and soon the air bag inflated again, and this time it was Anna and Nana who took off.

Nightingale stood outside the crowd, staring blankly at the hot air balloon getting smaller and smaller.

Her mind was full of Anna's tender smile.

Anna, whose face is always calm and indifferent, rarely showed such an expression. Nightingale had seen many similar expressions in the streets and alleys of big cities during her wandering journey with the Aid Society. She knew what it meant. Obviously, His Highness and Anna is not simply looking at the scenery from above. Even though Lightning and Maggie were there, it was impossible for them to make that step, but once this idea popped up, it was hard to suppress it, and she suddenly felt as if there was a void in her heart.

Although she had made a decision long ago, when she really had to face this moment, Nightingale found that she was far less indifferent than she imagined.

She walked to a corner and sat down against the wall, watching everyone's uproar, her mind was blank.

The hot air balloon descended again, and after Nana climbed out of the gondola, Ye Zi, who took the lead, immediately sat in.

When Nightingale came to his senses, Roland was no longer in the courtyard. After being lectured by Scroll, he returned to the castle to do his own work. She was supposed to follow to the office and stay by the Prince's side, as she had done in the past. But Nightingale stood up, but found that she couldn't walk. She really didn't know what expression to use to face Roland now. Even if he couldn't see her after entering the fog, Nightingale still knew that the other party's happy appearance would make her feel even more uncomfortable. .

Just like this, the hot air balloon went up and down, and after probably everyone sat on it, Wendy came over, "Why don't you stay here, why don't you go up and have a try? The feeling of overlooking the town from the sky is really great."

If there is anything more difficult to face than His Royal Highness Roland, it is Anna. Nightingale stood up in a panic, "No, I have to go back to the office." After she finished speaking, she entered the fog and took two steps before realizing why she was using her ability in the courtyard? Looking back at Wendy who was looking around with a puzzled expression on her face, she gritted her teeth and left quickly.

...

After dinner, she went back to the bedroom and lay on the bed sprawled.

Today until the end, she didn't show up in the office. When His Highness called out her name tentatively, she just tapped his back twice with her hands to show that she was here. She didn't even compromise when the other party dug out the dried salt-baked fish that she usually drools from the mahogany table.

"What's the matter, did something happen today?" Wendy walked into the bedroom and closed the door, "I saw everyone was riding a hot air balloon, but you were sitting alone."

"It's nothing." Nightingale turned over.

"Obviously there is something," Wendy sat on the edge of the bed, straightened her body, and stared at her for a while, "I thought you were willing to tell me everything."

"..." The latter closed his eyes and murmured after a long time, "Because of Anna."

"Anna?"

Nightingale didn't want to tell all these troublesome things, because it would only make her feel narrow-minded. After all, the first witch His Highness knew was Anna, not her. But if you don't say it, you will feel as if you are blocked by something, and it will be even more uncomfortable. Wendy gave her a lot of help when she was in the mutual aid association. Whenever she was confused, Wendy was always the first thing she thought of, and she never let her down. Thinking of this, she gently held Wendy's hand and explained the matter roughly.

Wendy sighed after hearing this, "Anna doesn't understand the importance of this matter, don't you? I reminded you last time that he can't be with a witch. Roland Wimbledon is a king and needs an heir To inherit this kingdom, from this point of view, he will never choose a witch as his wife."

"He can."

"What?" Wendy was taken aback.

"His Highness Roland will marry a witch," Nightingale suddenly opened her eyes and said word by word, "He said it himself!"

She wanted to keep this news in her heart all the time, but now she couldn't bear this feeling of not being understood.

Wendy seemed to be frightened, and it took a long time before she frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

"It's true," Nightingale repeated the scroll's question that day, "When asked the question "Is it possible for you to marry a witch?", his answer was "Why not". You know my ability, I can tell if a person is lying or not when he says it, he means it. "

Wendy suddenly grabbed Nightingale's arm, "Remember, don't tell anyone else this sentence, not even the sisters of the Witch Union."

"Why?"

"Because he is destined to become the king of Graycastle, what does it mean to be a king without descendants? Even if there is no church, it is difficult for the local nobles to support such a person to become their king! So this matter must be kept a secret, absolutely not Speak out. All you have to do now is to protect his safety, don't forget, whether he can become the ruler of Graycastle is related to the fate of all sisters."

Nightingale nodded.

"As for the matter that bothers you," Wendy thought for a moment, "Do you want to be the queen, or do you just want to stay by His Highness's side all the time?"

"Of course by his side," Nightingale said without hesitation.

"Then aren't you by his side now?" Wendy smiled, "There is indeed only one queen, but even if he ascends the throne, he still needs your protection. Do you understand what I mean?"

Nightingale blinked, but did not answer.

"So it's not difficult to be together, the difficult thing is to accept the choice you made." Wendy spread her hands, "If you can't do it, you can only back down, or go further... As for this issue, only you can decide." know the answer."

...

In the early morning of the next day, Roland walked into the office with a yawn and opened the drawer, only to find that the dried fish had disappeared. (To be continued.)
