Chapter 837: Letter to the Sleeping Island

Translator: TransN Editor: TransN

Tilly was at her desk, writing a secret letter meant for the inhabitants of the Sleeping Island.

Since she would be using the carrier pigeon, she had to reduce the size of the letter, and use the most concise language to express herself.

The content was actually not complicated and could be completed in two to three sentences, but, somehow, she could not stop writing. She was in an uncontrollable mood and felt like she was writing a long family manual—letting her thoughts run wild was certainly a rare occurrence for her.

However, Tilly unexpectedly found out that it was not a bad feeling to do so.

Since it was not a matter of life and death, she decided to go with this feeling.

Slim ink marks slowly moistened the letter, and she could not help but feel a sense of warmth.

“Dear Camilla,

“The Months of Demons is now over and the Western Region is calm again. Victory Day celebrations were particularly interesting. Do you remember the hot pot that I told you about? Roland moved this cooking method to the town square, with four huge woks of boiled soup, and then the meat, vegetables, whole chicken and Bird Beak Mushrooms were thrown into the soup. The fragrance could be smelt across the other side of Redwater River. He also said the pot was a feature of Neverwinter that definitely had to be tasted.”

“With Roland’s encouragement, everyone put all kinds of food in their pots. I have to say that with a thick soup, no matter what I ate, my mouth was full of flavor. There was no difference between City Hall officials, the Witch Union, or ordinary subjects. This scene would have been impossible in the past. It is hard to imagine that a cruel war that will determine the fate of the world will follow this passionate scene. It is also precisely because of this, that this kind of joy was especially precious.”

“I’m writing these to tell you that Neverwinter is really an incredible place—and I’m not trying to change your views of the nobility, but Roland Wimbledon is not a noble at all. Unsurprisingly, I just confirmed our speculation. He is exactly like us, the so-called noble identity was only a passage of time or a cover-up. So you should also take a look at this new city. Sleeping Island, certainly needs guarding, but I don’t want you to view this responsibility like a cage.”

“And by the way, during this Months of Demons, our witches finally no longer just stood idly by. Roland’s plan of the Southernmost Region was carried out by Ashes, Andrea, and Echo. As for the interesting things happening in the desert, I won’t go into details here and we can talk about it later on. I believe that the Sleeping Island will inevitably become even more important after the other sisters have come.”

“To the Chief Butler of Sleeping Island?” Just then a hand suddenly came out from behind Tilly and placed a cup of azure drink in front of her.

“Well,” she smiled, and she knew that it was Ashes without turning her head. “I was just writing about you. Would you like to take a look?”

“I’d better not,” Ashes rubbed her shoulders and whispered. “I still have to prepare today’s dinner.”

“Then you’d better go. I look forward to your delicious dishes,” Tilly laughed. The witches generally dined with Roland in the castle’s living room, so the small kitchen in their apartment was less likely to be used. But since they had been separated for months, Ashes wanted to share their dinner alone, and of course she would not refuse. Not to mention that Ashes also mysteriously claimed to have obtained a magical condiment from the Southernmost Region.

After she drank the Chaos Drink that was refreshing as an icespring, she then continued writing.

“After chitchatting so much, now let’s talk about serious stuff.”

“According to my agreement with him, spring is when the relocation will take place. The time has come for action, and my idea hasn’t changed. Everything has gone as expected and even more perfectly than anticipated, hence we should just follow the plan—I believe you are already well prepared.”
