Chapter 531 Lingering

…

"Is this really good?"

"What?"

"Let Yifei, Youyu, Lian and the others go to Border Town," Ashes hugged Tilly who was sitting at the desk from behind, "Is this the request Hetty Morgan made to you?"

Since learning about the existence of sea lines, the fifth princess has spent almost every day in her study. There are endless books piled on the table, some given to her by Roland and some rummaged through in the ruins. Seeing her body submerged in books, Hui Jin always felt inexplicably distressed.

"Well," Tilly put down the quill and leaned back easily, "She doesn't want me to control the connection with the secular forces alone, and I have no reason to refuse her."

"That man is your brother. Why does she think she can be like you?"

"Because she is also a member of the royal family," Tilly smiled and shook her head. "The higher the status, the weaker the family ties. This is the same in any kingdom. Hetty is very aware of this, so she made this decision."

"She plans to compete with you for His Highness Roland's support?" Ashes frowned.

"Of course not that fast. This time I think she just went to inquire about the situation."

"Then you still promise her!" Hui Jin loosened his hands and lowered his voice, "It seems I have to have a good talk with her."

It was Her Highness Tilly's affinity and tolerant attitude that allowed the witches who had been tortured and oppressed by the church to trust and unite together, but this did not mean that some people could regard tolerance as weakness and trust as the bottom line of temptation. If anyone wants to break all this, she will never let him go.

Before Ashes could turn around, Tilly grabbed Husband's arm, "Why don't you agree? As I said before, I have no reason to refuse. Sleeping Island is our home, and all witches are free citizens here. As long as they don't I won't stop them if they endanger everyone's safety. And..." she breathed out, "letting them go to the West is not a bad thing."

"Isn't it... a bad thing?" Hui Jin asked doubtfully.

"Have you ever thought about why Bloodfang Club was no different from other witches at first, but now it is slowly becoming more prominent?"

She thought for a while, "Because... the reason for settling down in life?"

"That's right," Tilly nodded. "Before, the church was like a mountain weighing on everyone's heart. In order to survive, everyone had to stay close together. But now the churches on the fjord islands have been eradicated, and Sleeping Island has gained more respect. In a relaxed environment, people's hearts will naturally begin to wander. This is a normal phenomenon. Unlike the Mutual Aid Society, we are a complex of many witch organizations, so blind suppression will not work. We want everyone to still work together as we did in the beginning , we need a strong enemy."

Ashes frowned and said, "You mean...the devil?"

"The enemies deep in the Fertile Plains, the Federation's disastrous defeat, the upcoming Third War of Divine Will... It is much more effective for them to understand these things personally than for me to tell them." Tilly smiled, "And in In Border Town, they can see much more than this."

The fifth princess stood up, walked to the study door leading to the back garden, and opened the door. "They will see that non-combat witches can also play an irreplaceable role. They will see that ordinary people have abilities comparable to witches. They will see that ordinary people have abilities comparable to witches." See the amazing effect that comes when everyone comes together. Just like this door...when you push it open, a wider world opens up.”

"..." Hui Jin looked at the woman bathed in the sun quietly, unable to say a word. The gray hair reflects a dazzling luster and flutters with the passing sea breeze. Even the back view is indescribably beautiful. Time seemed to be frozen here, and in this small study room, only she and herself were left.

After a long time, Tilly turned back and smiled slyly, "And there is a special reason why I chose Yifei and Youyu. Roland should be able to understand my thoughts."

Anna pushed Roland beside her.

"It's time to get up."

"Wait a little longer," Roland hugged her sideways and sniffed the fragrance from her hair from behind.

After returning to Neverwinter from the royal capital, he and Anna spent the whole night together. The brief separation made the reunion extremely heated. As a result, neither of them could get up the next morning... Anna was absent that day for the first time. It's not that she didn't want to go to the magic practice, but that Roland wouldn't let her leave.

Of course, in the face of his request, Anna did not express any intention to refuse.

From noon to evening, the air was filled with a lingering scent. When they rested, they sat on the bedside and chatted about what happened in the two places in the past few days. Even lunch was brought into the room by the maid. Of course, at this time Anna would shrink into the quilt, and when she looked down, she could see a pair of sapphire-like eyes shining brightly on his chest.

After stroking the other person's smooth back, Anna couldn't help but hum like a cat. Although after a year of growth, she was no longer the thin and weak girl in the prison, but when she rolled up her body, she could still fit perfectly into her arms. . Kissing her earlobe from behind, it was so cute to see her cheeks slowly turn red and her eyelashes trembling slightly.

After a while, she pushed Roland away again.

"Wendy and the others should be back soon. There is a new witch here this time. You have to wash up." Anna turned around and said seriously to him face to face.

"Yeah," Roland responded softly. He knew he couldn't delay it any longer this time. He kissed the other party's lips. He turned over and climbed out of bed. He helped Anna get dressed first and then put on his coat.

The water basin placed on the table has cooled down, but this does not bother Anna. A trace of black fire leaps into the water, and steam rises in the blink of an eye. After the two of them washed up, Roland first sent her back to the bedroom, and then returned to the office on the third floor. At least until the witch who picked her up came back, he could look like he was working seriously.

A quarter of an hour later, Lightning and Maisie rushed into the house through the open French window.

"Your Majesty, they are here."

…

"I didn't expect that after only a month of seeing you, you have already become the king of Graycastle." Hefeng was the first to walk into the castle hall. She was followed by four witches, including the familiar Lian and Mitang, and the other two. Seeing it for the first time, “I couldn’t believe it unless Wendy told me... If Tilly knew about it, she would definitely be very surprised.”

Roland smiled and greeted him, "I didn't hold a coronation ceremony, so it doesn't matter if you call me the same way as before."

"But you are already a well-deserved king," Zefeng bowed and saluted.

Lian and Mi Tang also followed the gourd's example and gave an exaggerated salute, and then the two of them simply touched their chests in greeting. The expressions of the four of them were completely different, one was full of joy of reunion, and the other was wary.

Roland couldn't help but be a little surprised.

However, he would not show his doubts at this time, and made a gesture of invitation. He smiled and said, "Anyway, it's been a hard journey. Let's enjoy tonight's feast. You're welcome, this is your home too. "(To be continued.)
