Chapter 716 Goodbye Anne

After finalizing the plan for hunting evil beasts, the witches went back to their rooms to rest for a while, waiting for the dinner to start, while Roland left Iffy alone.

"There is one thing I want to tell you first, in case you are unprepared." He said in a soft tone as much as possible, "I remember you once said that before you were taken in by the Bloodfang Society, you had a friend named Annie ,Right?"

"Yes...Your Majesty," Iffy blinked, as if she didn't quite understand why he brought this up suddenly.

"Among the group of witches who rushed to Graycastle from Dawn, except for the Taquila survivor who pretended to be a maid, the rest are all from Wolfheart."

Yi Fei's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, you mean..."

Roland nodded, "One of them is called Anne, and she was also rejected by the Blood Fang Society."

She froze for a moment, and murmured after a while, "Is this true?"

At this moment, Yifei's face is not full of joy, but half of it is guilt and worry. I am afraid that in her heart, she is still blaming herself for not choosing to leave with the other party.

The reason why he didn't plan to surprise the two of them was because of this consideration - he wasn't sure what kind of feelings Annie had for Iffy, and if he hated the Bloodfang Witch who left her because of this, , When the joy of reunion turns into a face-off, it seems very embarrassing.

"3009," Roland said.

"What?"

"3009, her room number," he exhaled, "at least from the current point of view, she is very close to your description. And if you want to know the answer, don't you just take a look for yourself?"

Iffy was silent for a moment, then bowed her head deeply to him, "I understand, Your Majesty, thank you!"

"Go, time can dilute everything sometimes."

"yes!"

Looking at the back of her hurriedly running out of the living room, Roland touched his chin. I can only help you here, he thought.

*******************

Room No. 09 on the third floor, Room No. 09 on the third floor... Yi Fei ran towards the Witch Building while silently reciting the room number, even ignoring You Yu and Higurashi's questioning voices. Through the snow-covered back garden and the white olive grove, she went up the stairs and soon came to the third floor.

However, the closer she got to her destination, the more her pace slowed down.

The uneasiness in my heart is also expanding.

When they were traveling together, Annie took care of her all the way to Grand Duke Island, but when she learned that Annie could not join the Bloodfang Society, she did not insist on staying. This sense of guilt has always tormented her, especially after she thought that Anne died in the heart of a wolf, she had been unable to sleep for a long time at night. In the end, she vented her hatred for herself on those nobles, and the strength and fearlessness she pretended to be were all shells to cover up the remorse in her heart.

But now, the shell can no longer protect her.

She was instinctively afraid.

What would she do if Annie didn't forgive her?

Yi Fei stood at the door, but she didn't dare to reach out to knock on the door.

"I knew you would be like this," a voice suddenly sounded from beside her, which startled her a lot. He lowered his head, only to realize that the short You Yu had come to him at some point, and Hi Mu was still standing panting in the far distance of the corridor.

They seemed to catch up because they were worried about themselves, and Yifei couldn't help feeling warm.

"Once you encounter something related to Annie, you will always feel like a different person."

"You... heard all of them?"

"Of course, His Majesty left you alone to talk, how could we not eavesdrop..." The little girl curled her lips, "If he wants to threaten you, we can help guard the door, right?"

"Is there any help from you?" Yifei was a little dumbfounded for a while, and the tension in her heart was also diluted a bit, "You actually came to see my joke!"

"It's about the same," You Yu shrugged, "Are you ready?"

"what to prepare?"

boom! boom! Bang——before she could react, the little girl had already thumped the door a few times, and then ran towards Rimu, "Remember, just say what you want to say!"

"No, wait..."

However, it was already too late, footsteps sounded from behind the door, and in an instant, Iffy felt her whole body stiffen.

With a click, the door was pushed open, and a tall witch appeared in front of her.

It happened to be Anne who opened the door.

She will never forget this face.

The sharp eyes like a knife, the slightly raised eyebrows, and the softness of caring for his companions hidden under the firm face. She thought that she would never see each other again, and she was afraid that she would forget the other person's appearance sooner or later, but when she met again, she realized that her figure was only temporarily covered by the dust, and when she resurfaced, she was still as new as ever.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Fragments kept appearing in her mind, and the shell collapsed, as if she had returned to the past, becoming that helpless and wandering girl again. He obviously wanted to say hello, but he couldn't say anything, he opened his mouth, and his eyes became sore for no reason.

After all, Iffy couldn't stop the sour feeling. She hugged Annie, sobbed softly at first, and then burst into tears.

"I'm sorry... woo... Annie... I'm sorry..."

Beasts never cry.

And from this moment on, she was no longer a beast.

*******************

Annie was still a little dazed.

The moment she opened the door, she didn't remember who the witch standing outside the door was. She just felt that the appearance was very familiar. Until she hugged herself and apologized crying, the experience of trekking to the Bloodfang Society It reappeared in front of my eyes.

It is impossible to say that there is no resentment in her heart, and even when Blood Fang tried to sell her to the nobles, part of the anger of being betrayed was transferred to Iffy.

However, seeing her crying uncontrollably, Anne suddenly felt that all her dissatisfaction disappeared—at that time, she was as thin as a monkey, her face was covered with mud, and she always looked timid and fearful. It is probably impossible for her to resist the order of the Bloodfang Society and stay in spite of everything.

Annie sighed, stretched out her hands, and gently hugged Yifei, "...I don't blame you."

Hearing this sentence, Iffy trembled slightly and cried even louder.

...

After half an hour, her mood gradually stabilized.

It was during this process that Annie learned the whole story of the Bloodfang Society. When she learned that the mastermind, Earl Morgan, had died and the other witches had escaped the Bloodfang Society's control, the twisted knot in her heart was finally released. And it was Roland Wimbledon and his sister Tilly who resolved all of this.

Things really seem to be turning for the better.

Looking at Yi Fei who was sleeping in her arms after crying tiredly, and Amy and the others who looked curious beside her, she made up her mind.

"Let's sign a contract with Wendy and serve the king."
