Chapter 36 Negotiations

Roland was dragged up from the bed by the nightingale.

After learning that Nana Pine's father came to the door, he was surprised at first, but he soon realized that this was a rare opportunity - if you want the little girl to stay and help fight the Demon Moon, he must find a reason to let him The Pine family stayed in Border Town for the winter.

Originally, this was an extremely difficult matter. The reputation and reputation of the fourth prince had fallen to the bottom among the nobles. In addition, the relationship with the fortress was tense. Obviously, these nobles whose families were in the eastern part of the fortress were unlikely to stay in the town. Roland never thought about cooperating with nobles from the beginning. They may be good at fighting for power and profit, but they are not suitable for fighting side by side.

He quickly dressed, washed briefly, and came to the living room.

Tigu Pine, who was brought here to hang for a long time by his guards, was already furious. When he saw the prince, he immediately stood up, "Your Highness, where is my daughter?"

This is the first time Roland has met Nana's father. He was stout, not tall, with a beard around his face that looked extremely rough, and the tunic jacket and the large pockets of tight-fitting leather pants were more like a hunter than an aristocrat.

"She's fine, Mr. Pyne—"

"Why did your guards let her in, but stopped me?" Tigu interrupted angrily, "I need an explanation, Your Highness! Please bring my daughter out to meet me!"

What is rhythm? Roland was stunned. The scene he imagined should be that the other party knew that his daughter had unfortunately fallen into a witch, and either asked him to hide the news in a low voice, or simply let him solve the problem. But he really didn't expect Pine, who was so aggressive and didn't act according to noble etiquette at all.

As for why the guards let Nana in, it was entirely because of his own explanation. She came to visit Anna every three days, and the guards knew her well.

After thinking for a moment, Roland summoned a maid and asked her to bring Nana over.

No matter how rude the other party was, he was still Nana's father, so let the two meet before talking. If he showed any intention of handing the little girl over to the church or abandoning it, it would not be too late to take measures on his own.

Nana came out with Anna.

The moment he saw his daughter, the impatience in Tigu Pine's eyes disappeared immediately. He opened his hand and shouted to Nana, "Come to Dad."

But the little girl just hid behind Anna, showing half of her head, "Will you sell me to the church?"

"Cough...what are you talking about, silly boy, the church doesn't accept a fool like you, come home with me."

This reaction made Roland a little confused. According to Nightingale, Nana was seen by her father when she was using her magic power, and panicked and fled to the castle to find Anna, while her father chased after him murderously.

But now it seems that Tigu looked at his daughter with only concern and doting, and it didn't look like ordinary people hated witches at all.

Did you do something wrong?

Roland hesitated and decided to open up the matter and say, "Mr. Pine, your daughter is a witch, you must know it."

"What are you talking about, Your Highness, I don't understand," Tigu stomped his feet and stepped forward to grab Nana's hand, but was blocked by Anna's side.

"Father, I've turned into a witch... I'm sorry," Nana whispered.

Tigu finally got a little anxious, "Don't talk nonsense! What a witch, it was taught by that guy Carl. If I had known, I shouldn't have let you go to the academy. The church's rhetoric is bullshit!"

Hearing this, Roland suddenly understood something in his heart. Maybe the other party's actions to cover up for Nana were because he misunderstood him?

That's why he was so restless until he saw his daughter.

"Anna," he winked at the witch, who nodded, and stretched out his right hand to face Tigu, who had bypassed him and tried to pull Nana away. Flames spewed out from the palm of his hand and ran past his head.

Tigu's eyes widened, and he took a few steps back in a panic. Nana also hugged Anna's arm in panic, "Sister Anna, don't!"

"Your Highness, this is—!"

"As you can see, she is also a witch, just like your daughter," Roland said, spreading his hands, "The reason why Nana can freely enter and leave the castle is not what you think, now we can talk about it. ?"

Only then did Tigu wake up from a dream, "Ah" twice, "His Royal Highness, I..."

"Sit down and talk," Roland pointed to the table, "Have a cup of tea first."

Sure enough, he sighed inwardly, my reputation is so bad, so bad that even children are not spared. The other party's rude behavior at the beginning, Roland has now fully understood that a father who cares about his daughter sees his daughter running into the lord's castle, and the guards guarding the gate look like he is used to it. What does this mean?

If the party involved is himself, I am afraid that I will have the heart to demolish the castle empty-handed.

As for the denial that his daughter was a witch in the future, the intention was even more obvious - Tigu was worried that the prince would use the words "Nana has fallen and needs to be purified" to blackmail him, and he himself did not care whether his precious daughter was or not. witch.

Tigu hesitated for a long time, but finally sat down, took up the teacup and drank it dry, wiped his mouth, looking a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I'm rude. When did you know that my daughter became uh ... the witch's?"

"Before winter, it wasn't me who first discovered her awakening, but her teacher Karl Vanbert. Because he was friends with Anna, he entrusted Nana to me, hoping that I could give her protection. ," Roland explained in detail, "and in this month and a half, she will come to the castle to practice her abilities when she is free. By the way, your daughter's ability is healing."

"Is that so..." Tigu scratched his head, "I said how could that cat suddenly run and jump."

"cat?"

"Cough, it's nothing. When I got home, I saw this child sitting at the door holding a cat that was hit by a carriage. I was going to scare her from behind, but she ran away when she saw me. , the cat is the same, obviously its leg was broken." He glanced at Nana and Anna, "Are you friends?"

Before Anna made a statement, Nana's head was already fastened.

Tigu's expression softened a little.

Seeing this, Roland asked, "You don't seem to think that witches are evil beings seduced by the devil."

"Of course my daughter is not evil!" he said firmly, "whatever she becomes, there is no doubt about that!"

It was almost completely different from Anna's father, and Roland couldn't help but sighed that he now somewhat understood why Nana was always carefree and always had a smile on her face. Such a family is like a warm cradle for a child.

"I don't think so either, Mr. Pyne," the prince said bluntly. "Your daughter's abilities mean a lot to the wounded. I hope she can stay in Border Town and help me fight the Demon Moon together."

Tigu hesitated, "Your Highness, please forgive me for refusing, when the Moon of Demons comes, this place will become very dangerous, I can't leave her in the town."

Tigu Pine's enfeoffed territory does not belong to the area under the jurisdiction of Border Town, so even if he is a prince, he cannot directly order him. But as long as he is willing to sit down and talk, Roland thought, he is not afraid of not being able to convince him.
