Chapter 477 Love and Affection

…

Just like a year ago, the night banquet at the castle belonged to the witches.

The leaves transformed the backyard that had expanded several times into an open-air camp surrounded by olive trees. Around the blazing bonfire, everyone could see the bright stars in the night sky when they raised their heads.

Compared to the last barbecue with only five witches participating, this time it was much more lively. Not only were all the witches from the Cooperation Association present, but also Maisie, Lucia, Agatha, Speer, Shirazhi and Asha were added, plus seven people from Sleeping Island, the total number reached twenty-five.

Platefuls of cut food and sauces were placed on the small table next to the campfire for everyone to take. After clearing the territory of the rebel nobles, the amount of meat and cloth in the warehouse also increased a lot. In addition, the low-alcohol fruit wine specially brewed by Evelin and the ice cream provided by Agatha were also served.

While Lightning was still enthusiastically demonstrating how to grill a chicken leg to everyone who was participating in the barbecue for the first time, Maisie had already stuffed the sizzling steak into her mouth - following the little girl in the mountains and jungles After a year of working together, she became adept at any food that could be grilled and eaten, and the pockets on her waist were filled with all kinds of condiments just like the former.

"I think this is a waste of time," Agatha spread honey on the cooked beef meatballs in her hands. "The devil is about to attack. If you don't seize the time to prepare for battle, ah ugh... instead, you will enjoy a short victory here and wait until the enemy breaks through. The city...Guru, everything is over."

"Eat slowly, it doesn't matter." Roland handed a new bunch of stuffed beef balls in front of her. It was obvious that she liked these meatballs with soup inside. "It's more efficient to combine work and rest. Defeating the devil does not lie in the leisure of this day, and even if you fail, at least you have enjoyed the beauty of life.”

"Here's nonsense!" Agatha rolled her eyes at him, took the meatballs, rolled them around in the oil bowl and put them directly into the bonfire - with the protection of frost ability, she could cook them no matter how the fire burned them. Keep the surface of the meatballs at a just right temperature. It can be seen that the recent cooling and nitrogen production work has made her control of magic more refined.

On the other side, Axia, who had just joined the alliance, had obviously never seen so much meat. Although she kept swallowing her saliva, she was hesitant in her hands. Fortunately, Wendy noticed her restraint and pulled the newly awakened sister to Beside me, share the baked food with her and the white paper.

While waiting for the food to be grilled, Ashes of Sleeping Island, Andrea and Savi took the opportunity to play poker. In just a few months, the three of them had learned all the games that Roland was familiar with. As long as The evil beasts did not attack the town, and Roland could always see them playing cards together in the castle hall.

And several other Sleeping Island witches, such as Candlelight, Evelin and Sylvie, have gotten along very well with the town witches. Seeing them chatting happily with Ye Zi, Huiyin, Soraya and others, it is almost It’s no different than a family.

Looking at the warm scene in front of him, Roland felt quite relieved - after working hard for more than a year, the changes in the Western Region were gradually emerging, whether it was the enthusiastic cheers of the people in the square during the day or the happy smiles on the faces of the witches now. , are all the rewards he gets for his efforts.

This kind of reward is so sweet that people can't help but indulge in it.

As the bonfire gradually extinguished, the time approached midnight. Roland asked Nightingale and Ashes to escort Nana and Asha home respectively, while he went to the second floor of the castle and waited for Anna to appear.

He decided to take this step proactively instead of waiting passively or procrastinating.

Silver-white moonlight shone into the castle from the window in the corridor. With this light, he saw Anna's blue eyes - this scene seemed familiar, but their positions were reversed. The pupils half hidden in the darkness reflected a faint luster, just like the stars in the night, but without the stars, the night sky at this time belonged to her alone.

Roland didn't speak, but stepped forward to hold her hand and walked to the third floor.

It was obviously not the first time he had close contact with her, but his heartbeat was unexpectedly fast, and he could feel Anna's nervousness through the palm of his hand. Even so, she did not hesitate at all and followed closely behind him.

After returning to his bedroom and closing the door, Roland took a deep breath and turned his head. When he was hesitating about how to speak, Anna had already kissed him.

The soft tongue tip gently pried open the teeth, and the sweet breath spread between the lips and teeth, which was intoxicating.

The thought of sealing it with a kiss suddenly came to his mind.

When you don't know what to say, just kiss. Even if you don’t know how to express your feelings, just kiss - a kiss is a silent language, and a kiss is a burning emotion.

When the two separated again, Anna's cheeks were already rosy.

"I have a gift for you."

Roland took out two red magic stones from his arms - they were repolished, embedded with a gold edge, and had a thin red rope hanging from the top.

"Is this...a talisman?"

"Well, one is a path-finding stone and the other is a positioning stone. After being bonded together with magic power, it becomes the tracking talisman." Roland put the path-finding stone around Anna's neck. "In this way, no matter where I am, You can use it to find me."

Anna seemed to realize something and looked at him blankly.

And he gently held the other person's cheek and asked word by word, "Will you marry me, Anna."

Heavy rain instantly filled the blue lake, and it could no longer remain calm.

After a long time, Ana nodded and said, "Yes."

…

Everything that followed was so natural. The long-brewing feelings completely broke through the last obstacle at this moment and became intertwined with each other.

Roland picked her up by the waist, put her on the bed, kissed her gently from her forehead to her neck, and then all the way down, clumsily unbuttoning her clothes one by one with his fingers. Anna did not close her eyes, but watched his every move, as if she wanted to remember his every appearance deeply in her mind.

When the girl's white and delicate skin was fully exposed, Roland gently held her in his arms and covered her with a quilt.

Without the barrier of clothing, he could clearly feel the other person's rhythmic heartbeat, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

"This time..." Anna whispered softly into Roland's ear.

"What?"

"I won't fall asleep again..."

Roland couldn't help laughing, and this smile also eased the tension between the two of them. He pinched Ana's nose and said, "Even if you fall asleep, I won't let you go tonight."

As their lips came together again, the two finally became one, their mind and body merging into one whole.
