Chapter 757 (2/2)

Wendy walked to the bed and put the dinner box on the bedside cupboard. She turned around and met Sharon’s eyes. The new witch was looking at her, her face curious. Wendy asked, “How do you feel about becoming a witch?”

The girl had a childish face and short rosy hair. It was a rare hair color in Graycastle and reminded her of a rosebud. Wendy knew for sure that she would become more beautiful after her awakening. She could already imagine how extraordinary she would look once she would enter adulthood.

Sharon replied, “I felt that something got into my body… Miss Nana told me that was the magic power.” She pursed her lips and continued, “Are you a witch, too? Does it always hurt the first time?”

Though her second question could cause some ambiguity, she knew exactly what she was talking about. “Yes, I’m a witch. You can call me Wendy. As for your second question, not really… It’s not that important anyway. As long as you learn how to use the magic power, it’ll become part of you, like your arms and legs.” With these words, she opened the iron dinner box and put the steaming food on the bedside cupboard.

Sharon swallowed twice to prevent herself from drooling, but she could not stop her stomach from growling.

She blushed with embarrassment at once.

“Are you hungry?” Wendy smiled and immediately placed a Bird Beak Mushrooms soup in front of the little girl.

Some scallions ware floating in the light yellow soup. The oil on the surface was shimmering in the firelight. Compared to a light vegetable soup, the smell of the meat made this soup much more tempting.

Wendy had learned this trick of using nice food to reassure people from Roland who liked to hold a banquet to welcome new witches.

Sharon nodded vigorously.

Wendy said softly, “Drink some soup to warm your stomach first before you eat other food.”

Soon the little girl started to gobble down her dinner, making even Wendy feel hungry, too.

She asked, “Where’s your friend? Did she go home?”

Sharon said while devouring her food, “I don’t know… probably yes.”

Wendy was surprised. “Didn’t she come to see you?”

“No…” Sharon shook her head. ” She probably did not trust me completely. After all, I also came from the Southern Territory like those students who bullied her.”

Wendy was startled. “What? You’re from the Southern Territory?”

“Yeah.” The little girl stuffed a piece of Bird Beak Mushroom into her mouth. “Mapleflower Town, a small town near Eagle City… but now it’s uninhabitable.”

Wendy exclaimed, “I thought you’re from the east just like her. I thought that was why you helped her.”

“I shouldn’t help her as we’re from different regions?” Sharon blinked her eyes and said seriously, “the disputes among the nobles obviously have nothing to do with her. Those guys just wanted to find some excuse to bully her. No matter where we came from, wrong is wrong. If I didn’t stand out to stop them, nobody would correct such a mistake.”

She remained speechless for a while, lost in her thoughts.

Your Majesty, you were worried about nothing. This girl doesn’t need me to comfort her.

I can tell from the expression in her eyes—She’s absolutely certain about her decision.
