Release that Witch - Chapter 36
[Chapter 36 Negotiation]
Roland was dragged up from the bed by Nightingale.
When he learned that Nana Paine’s father had come to him, he was shocked at first, but soon realized that this was a rare opportunity – if he wanted the little girl to stay and help fight against the Demon Moon, he had to find a reason to let her The Pine family stayed in Border Town for the winter.
Originally, this was an extremely difficult matter. The reputation and reputation of the fourth prince had fallen to the bottom among the nobles. Coupled with the tense relationship with the fortress, it was obviously unlikely that these nobles whose families were in the eastern part of the fortress would stay in the town.
Roland never considered cooperating with the nobles from the very beginning. They may be good at fighting for power, but they are not suitable for fighting side by side.
He quickly got dressed, washed up briefly, and came to the living room.
Tigu Pyne, who was brought here by his personal guards to hang out for a long time, was already furious. When he saw the prince, he immediately stood up, “Your Highness, where is my daughter?”
This was the first time Roland met Nana’s father.
He is stout and not tall, and the beard around his face looks extremely rough, and the tunic jacket and leather pants with large pockets look more like a hunter than an aristocrat.
“She’s fine, Mr. Pyne—”
“Why did your guards let her in directly, but stopped me at the door?” Tigu interrupted angrily, “I need an explanation, Your Highness! Please bring my daughter out to meet me!”
What is rhythm?
Roland froze for a moment. The scene he imagined should be that the other party knew that his daughter had unfortunately fallen into a witch, and either humbly begged him to conceal the news, or simply let him solve the problem.
But he really didn’t expect Pyne to be so aggressive and completely disobedient to noble etiquette.
As for why the guards let Nana in, it was all because of his own confession.
She came to play with Anna every few days, and the guards knew her well.
After thinking about it for a while, Roland summoned a maid and asked her to bring Nana over.
No matter how rude the other party was, he was still Nana’s father, and it was better to let the two meet first before talking.
If he showed the slightest intention of handing over the little girl to the church or abandoning it, it would not be too late for him to take measures.
Nana came out with Anna.
The moment he saw his daughter, the impatience in Tigu Pyne’s eyes disappeared immediately. He opened his hands and shouted to Nana, “Come to Dad quickly.”
But the little girl just hid behind Anna, showing half of her head, “Will you sell me to the church?”
“Cough… what are you talking about, silly boy, the church doesn’t accept idiots like you, come home with me.”
This reaction made Roland a little puzzled. According to Nightingale, Nana was spotted by her father when she was casting her magic power. She fled in panic to find Anna in the castle, and her father chased her all the way here.
But now it seems that Tigu looked at his daughter with only concern and doting in his eyes, not at all like ordinary people’s hatred of witches.
Did I make a mistake?
Roland hesitated for a moment, and decided to open up the matter and said, “Mr. Pyne, your daughter is a witch, and you must know it too.”
“Your Highness, I don’t understand,” Tigu stomped his feet, and stepped forward to grab Nana’s hand, but Anna blocked him sideways.
“Father, I have become a witch… I’m sorry,” Nana whispered.
Tigu finally got a little anxious, “Don’t talk nonsense! What a witch, it was taught by Karl again, I should have known that I shouldn’t have let you go to the academy, the church’s rhetoric is bullshit!”
Hearing this, Roland suddenly understood something in his heart. Maybe the other party’s cover-up for Nana was because he misunderstood him?
That’s why he was so restless before he saw his daughter.
“Anna,” he winked at the witch, who nodded and stretched out his right hand facing Tigu who was trying to pull Nana away.
Flames spewed out from the palm of his hand and flew past his head.
Tigu’s eyes widened, and he took a few steps back in panic. Nana also hugged Anna’s arm in panic, “Sister Anna, don’t!”
“Your Highness, this is—!”
“As you can see, she is also a witch, just like your daughter.” Roland spread his hands, “The reason why Nana can enter and leave the castle freely is not what you think, now we can talk about it. ?”
Only then did Tigu wake up from a dream, “Ah” twice, “Your Highness, I…”
“Sit down and talk,” Roland pointed to the table, “have a cup of tea first.”
Sure enough, he sighed in his heart, my reputation is so bad, so bad that even children will not be spared.
The other party’s rude behavior at the beginning, Roland, now fully understands, what does it mean for a father who cares about his daughter to see his daughter running into the lord’s castle, and the guards guarding the gate look normal?
If the person involved is me, I’m afraid I have the heart to demolish the castle empty-handed.
As for denying that his daughter is a witch, the intention was even more obvious—Tigu was worried that the prince would blackmail him with the words “Nanava has fallen and needs to be purified”, but he himself didn’t care whether his precious daughter was a witch or not. witch.
Tigu hesitated for a long time, and finally sat down, picked up the teacup and gulped it down, wiped his mouth, and looked a little embarrassed, “I’m sorry, I was rude. When did you know that my daughter has become an uh …witch’s?”
“Before winter, it wasn’t me who first discovered that she had awakened, but her teacher Carl Vanbert. Since he was a friend with Anna, he entrusted Nana to me, hoping that I could protect her ” Roland explained in detail, “and in this one and a half months, she will come to the castle to practice her ability when she is free. By the way, your daughter’s ability is healing. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com ”
“Is that so…” Tigu scratched his head, “I said why the cat can run and jump all of a sudden.”
“cat?”
“Ahem, it’s really nothing. When I came home, I saw this child sitting at the door holding a cat that had been hit by a carriage. I planned to scare her from behind, but she ran away when she saw me. , that cat is the same, obviously its leg was broken.” He glanced at Nana and Anna, “Are you friends?”
Before Anna made a statement, Nana’s head nodded quickly.
Tigu’s expression softened a bit.
Seeing this, Roland asked, “You don’t seem to think that witches are evil beings seduced by the devil.”
“Of course my daughter is not an evil person!” He said firmly, “No matter what she becomes, there is no doubt about it!”
He was so different from Anna’s father, Roland couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, now he somewhat understood why Nana was always carefree and always had a smile on her face.
Such a family is like a warm cradle for a child.
“I don’t think so either, Mr. Pyne,” the prince said bluntly. “Your daughter’s abilities are of great significance to the wounded. I hope she can stay in Border Town and help me fight against the Demon Moon.”
Tigu hesitated for a moment, “Your Highness, please forgive me for refusing. When the demon moon comes, this place will become very dangerous. I can’t leave her in the town.”
Tigu Pyne’s subdivided territory does not belong to the area under the jurisdiction of Border Town, so even if he is a prince, he cannot directly order him.
But as long as he is willing to sit down and talk, Roland thought, he might not be able to convince him.
