Chapter 583 (1/2)

When Anna opened her eyes, she saw that all around her was a fiery red Scorching hot air blew directly at her face and scalded her skin

Blazing fla flames were everywhere Smoke billowed from the lower part of the shed and caused her to choke

She heard cries from the back room, but was unsure if it was just a hallucination As wood ca sound Every now and then, she would notice sparks and splinters fall froot off her haystack and tried to make her way towards the back roo heat waves

Eventually, she scrambled her way out of the shed, and watched helplessly as her house was engulfed by the raging flahbors started to crowd around as well Some tried to help put out the fire However, the nearest water source was Redwater River, which was located outside the town The few pots of water which they did their best to fetch had no effect on the fire at all

After Anna rushed back and forth several tiure of her father

He had hurried back fro his soiled coat and his face was covered with dark gray dust He stood beside the house, which had been reduced to its wooden frah she saw her tower of strength, Anna could no longer suppress the fear and panic in her heart, and tears began to roll down her face like pearls She cried and screahtly

However, her father did not corabbed her by the shoulder so violently that it caused her to squeal in pain ”And your brother!”

Anna shook her head, but did not expect that what folloould be a slap on the face

”Did you actually escape alone? Why didn't you rescue them?”

”damn, how can you only care about yourself?”

Anna suddenly sat bolt upright in her bed, panting heavily The scolding voice continued to reverberate beside her ears and refused to go away

This dreaain

She picked up a cup froulped down the cold water It took her quite a long time to recover fully

On the first day of every month, Anna would dream of this scene It was as if there was someone in her brain who had to constantly remind her of the past She turned her head and examined the calendar on her desk Today happened to be the last day of the first week of summer, and also the day of the month that the Witch Union distributed the salaries

She washed herself simply and put on her clothes Then she walked out of the castle and headed towards the Witch Building in the backyard

”Sister Anna!” Ring grinned upon the sight of her ”You've cohed softly ”The weather today see to the North Slope Mountain later?”

”Lady Anna” Her two former classmates hurriedly bowed in respect

”Call me Anna, just like the old ti table, and pondered for a s to do first I'll only be going in the afternoon”

”Oh? That's rare” Wendy revealed a spirited expression ”Could it be that you and His Majesty Roland are”

”Are they going shopping!” Ring shouted excitedly

Pearl and Grayrabbit, ere listening on one side, laughed uncontrollably

Anna shook her head in denial but did not say anything further

Neither did Wendy continue to ask She took out an envelope from a drawer and placed it in Anna's hands ”This is the old royals”

”Thank you”

Witches did not have to prepare what they ate or wore, nor did they have to pay for rent or transport They would even be given free prototypes of the luxury goods sold in the convenience market, and could request for more or newer items easily Therefore, most witches felt that their salaries were not of much use, and did not understand why His Majesty insisted on paying theuess why Roland did so Furthermore, this measure inadvertently did her a favor

She walked back to the castle hall while holding onto her salary envelope When she reached, she saw that the Chief Knight, Carter Lannis, was already waiting there

”Miss Anna” Carter stood up and greeted her ”Shall we proceed as usual?”
