Chapter 716 (1/2)
After finishi+ng the proposal for hunting the demonic beasts, the witches went back to their rooin Before Iffy wandered off, Roland pulled her aside so that he could speak to her alone
”I have so to tell you now so you won't be too shocked later on” He spoke as softly as possible, ”I remember you once said that you had a friend na association, right?”
”Yes Your Majesty” Iffy blinked and was unsure as to why he suddenly raised that topic
”Adouised herself as a dom of Wolfheart”
Iffy's eyes opened wide ”Your Majesty, you mean”
Roland nodded and said, ”One of them was called Annie and she had also been rejected by the Bloodfang association”
She was stunned and onlysilence ”Is this true?”
At that moment, Iffy's face portrayed joy and yet it also reflected worry and guilt She still bla to leave with Annie back then
This hy Roland did not intend to surprise both of them at the same time He could not be sure how Annie felt towards Iffy and if she still had a grudge toward the girl that had deserted her, it would be very aard if an intended happy reunion turned into a confrontation
”3009,” said Roland
”What?”
”3009 That's her roo She's like the one you described and if you want to know the answer, you can go by yourself to take a look”
Iffy was silent for a moment then bowed her head to thank him ”I understand, Your Majesty Thank you!”
”Go on So”
”Yes!”
Roland touched his chin as he observed her running hurriedly out of the living rooht
”Roo the room number
while running toward the Witch building She didn't even bother answering the questions of Softfeathers and Nightfall asked her along the way She passed through the snow-covered castle backyard and the white-capped olive groves, went up the stairs, and quickly reached the third floor
However, once she got closer to her destination, she began to slon
She began to feel more and more uneasy
Back then, Annie took care of her throughout their journey to Archduke Island When she learned that Annie could not join the Bloodfang association, she did not insist on staying The guilt had always been torturing her It got even worse after she thought that Annie had died in the Kingdohts that followed In the end, she vented her hatred on the nobility and presented a mask of power and fearlessness as a shell to cover up her remorse
But now, this shell could no longer protect her
She was instinctively fearful
If Annie refused to forgive her, what should she do?
Iffy stood in the doorway but did not dare to reach out to knock on the door
”I knew you would do that,” a voice came out of nowhere and shocked her She bowed down only to find out that the sure of Softfeathers had appeared beside her and a breathless Nightfall was in the corridor
Iffy could not help but be touched that they had caught up with her because they seemed worried about her
”Every ti that concerns Annie, you always behave like a completely different person”
”Did you all hear that?”
”Of course His Majesty was speaking to you alone How could we not eavesdrop?” The little girl curled her lips, ”In the case that he wanted to coerce you, we could help to stand guard at the door, right?”
”What kind of help is that?” Iffy did not knohether to laugh or cry, and her nervousness started to diminish a little ”You actually came to see me be embarrassed!”
