After Camilla Dary left, Ashes stepped out of the study.

She sat on her knees on the rug, hands stretching out to Tilly, and said, “come here.”

“I’m fine…”

“Don’t pretend to be okay. There are no other people.” Ashes interrupted her.

Tilly twitched her lips and finally moved her body. She thrust herself into Ashes’ chest, back facing her.

Hearing the strong heartbeats of Ashes coming through her clothes like rhythmical drumbeats, Tilly felt calm and reassured.

“Thank you,” Tilly said softly.

“Don’t push yourself too hard. If we make a wrong decision, the worst scenario is that we go back to the Sleeping Island.” Ashes gently smiled and said, “If you leave, I’m sure Roland Wimbledon won’t stop you, for you have all the witches in the Witch Union backing you up.” She paused for a while and continued, “besides, you don’t need speak so resolutely. In this way, you don’t need to suffer such great pressure now.”

Princess Tilly shook her head and said, “I must be convinced before persuading the other witches to trust me. If I’m somehow hesitant and confused, the decision will go nowhere.”

Though she appeared to be very confident in the decision, she was still a little concerned. She was not worried about Roland. In fact, he had expressed his attitude when he had agreed to continue to use the Sleeping Spell to manage the immigrated witches. She was only concerned about two things. After living an exclusive life for nearly two years, could those 300 some witches smoothly fit in Neverwinter? When the Battle of Divine Will was over, would common people change their views about witches?

These were unknown risks and also the problems Tilly had to think about. In the eyes of the other witches, she looked very confident and spunky, but only several witches understood her concerns. After all, from now on, she had to bear responsibilities for over 300 witches, not just for herself. It could be said that all the witches on Sleeping Island felt more relaxed after the church was defeated, except her, for her responsibilities were even greater.

“Just do what you’ve thought.” Ashes embraced her from her back. “The immigration won’t start until the end of the next Months of Demons. If you still feel worried, you can spend the remaining months conducting a thorough investigation.”

“Is the Charming Beauty ready to sail?”

“Anytime.”

“Don’t forget your textbooks and exercise book. You can learn some new knowledge on the way.”

“Uhm…If I read books in the cabin, I’ll be seasick.”

“If you want to protect me, you have to become stronger than this. For example, you can try to be a legendary Transcendent… How can you be stronger without studying?”

Ashes mumbled agitatedly, “OK, ok, I got it.”

“Don’t worry. If there is something that you can’t understand, you can ask me at any time. You should know that I have nothing to do on the ship.”

“Yes, yes, yes. As you wish, Your Highness.”

“Fortunately, I am not alone anymore.” Tilly thought.
