Chapter 194 Lily
Not long after the Prince returned to his office, Scroll, following after him, also entered the room
“Your Highness, I’m sorry, Lily, that child… it was not on purpose”
“I don’t mind what she said,” he sirl”
“Only His Highness is so tolerant of us,” Scroll sighed “At first, she wasn’t like this, but after she was deceived, it is hard for her to believe in ordinary people again”
“Are you speaking about so that happened to her before she joined the Witch Cooperation association?” Roland asked “If I reo that she had joined you”
“You already know that I can feel the existence of ic, the closer I co will becoale’s sense, that allows her to directly see the shape and color of the ic, I can atleast use it to detect neitches So whenever we reached a nen, I will go to the local shelters or orphanages and pretend to be an aristocratic ants to adopt a child, looking if I may be able to find an awakened sister,” she paused, “I found Lili in a shelter in a re to adopt her, I was rejected by the owner of the shelter, who declared that he would only sell the girls after they have become adults”
“Why?” Roland already had his doubt The last chance for a girl to awaken as a witch is on her day of adulthood, is that the reason?
“We were also surprised at that tiale sneak into the shelter and search for books, records, and related information Fortunately, the shelter was far fro time
“With Nightingale’s ability, why didn’t you just take Lili aith her ability it shouldn’t have been too difficult, right?”
“It wouldn’t have been difficult,” Scroll nodded in responce, “With the exception of the God’s Stone of Retaliation that the operator wore, there was no other stone within the whole shelter, but we still couldn’t do that, after all, there was a precedent for that”
“What precedent?” The Prince filled a cup of tea and handed it to Scroll
“Thank you,” Scroll took the teacup “At first, as soon as we detected a witch, ould take her by force, but after what happened in the Seawind Region we had to change our way of thinking They thought of us as evil, so e brought them to the camp of our Witch Cooperation association, they wouldn’t listen to us or accept our explanation and would instead try to attack us In the end, two of our sisters died, they were killed by Cara’s ical snake, ‘Death’ And since then, ould always carefully observe the witch over a period of tiet to know her beliefs before ould take action In case ere chased by the Church and had to act urgently, we… had no other choice than to give up on them”
“So, the ale and Wendy wasn’t by accident?”
“Of course not,” Scroll took another sip of her tea, s aware of Nightingales existence until Wendy made contact with her,which we also recruited other sisters, such as Red Pepper and Windseeker…” Speaking until here her expression turned blank, “Unfortunately, they are now buried in the wild lands At that time, if we had only chosen to settle in Border Town, they could still be alive today”
Roland also felt quite sorry for them If the Witch Cooperation association had decided to settle down in Border Town and had brought their more than 40 witches with them, I think it is entirely possible that ould already have entered modern life by now
“But right noeren’t speaking about the about Lily During the search of the shelter as well as following the host’s tracks, we discovered an astonishi+ng fact – the small country house was neither a real shelter, nor was it an establishment to screen for witches”
