Chapter 729 (1/2)
”Welcome to the Witch Union”
Wendy unrolled the contracts on the desk and said to the witches froe on the back of the contract and then you'll officially become a member of the union”
They should have gone through this procedure earlier had Princess Tilly not suggested a hunting contest Wendy did not care about who the winner would be, but she had been concerned about whether all the preparation work for the hunting had been completed On the very day of the contest, she had been restless Everyfor her Due to her concerns, she complained to His Majesty for quite a while and the subsequent cannon exercise further postponed the matter To her surprise, however, Annie, as always the more self-controlled one, ventured to see her first
”Wendy, don't you usually test our abilities first?” Amy asked
In the ten days after their group had arrived in Neverwinter, this airy, dainty little girl had won everybody's affections Due to her innocent character, Amy soon established bonds with the other witches She now felt very co Wendy ”sister”
”We norn the contract,” Wendy answered in a soft voice ”If you have any questions or concerns regarding the terms of the contract, please don't hesitate to ask me now”
”Alright!”
Out of the four witches from Wolfheart, Amy was the only literate one So Annie, Broken Sword, and Hero all sat around her to listen to the terhts on the matter
Wendy studied thewitches attentively She recalled the day when she had signed her contract
At first, she had thought the terenerous to be true and they were very likely just an eh which the Prince showcased his benevolence The tered completely shortly afterward, or there would be another set of iulated the witches' activities But as she soon discovered, she had been totally wrong as the basic frah very fewback on it, Wendy believed that she had reatest decision in her entire life
”Wow, one gold royal for us each month!”
”Can we buy whatever ant?”
”A paid vacation Is it true?”
”Witches are entitled to terminate the contract in the event that His Majesty fails to fulfill his obligations to provide safety, food or accommodations Is this really not a lie?”
Wendy answered all their questions with a smile as they asked the questions that she had done so herself She pretty much knew exactly when the four witches would utter an exclamation of surprise as she had been equally astonished by the contract when reading it for the first time
In granting the witches freedoiven them what they desired most and the fate of the Witch Union had been intertwined with that of Roland Wimbledon's ever since Wendy believed nobody in the union would ever abandon His Majesty, even in the event of a crisis in which Roland could no longer shelter or support them
Such a bond was not explicitly expressed in the contract, but was e could describe
However, she could also foresee that these thoughts and feelings of contentradually diminish as neakened witches would have a co environment It would be a time where there was no threat from the church and no hostility from their relatives or their close fa the case, neitches would naturally feel less grateful for the new life than old witches did
Following the ternature line
There were no e That part only stated that Roland and the Witch Union should act with honor and utood faith as it was totally voluntary to join the union After the four witches read and signed the contract, Nightingale pinched Wendy to confirenuine intention
”Noe're sisters” She hugged everyone happily
