Chapter 151: The supreme witch (1/2)

[Medea's world]

”Heh~~So after a few days of waiting, the young prince finally graced us with his presence. I am about to faint in joy.”

Sol immediately cringed when he entered Medea's world and heard those words.

Giving a bitter smile, he turned toward the origin of the voice.

There, sitting next to Medea was a woman entirely clad in white, except for her hair that was black.

She contrasted completely with Medea who was clad in black and had long silver-white hair.

”Good afternoon, Miss Ambrosia.”

This was Ambrosia, the first and strongest witch in the world, also one of the strongest beings in the world.

Chuckling, she sipped elegantly on her drink before continuing.

”My, why such a reluctant face? After all, you are something of my son-in-law. Though I still need to observe you more to make a judgment.”

She began to talk absentmindedly, something that didn't surprise Sol.

Even though he had only met her a few times since the start of this week, Sol understood that this woman was someone who moved at her own pace in her own world.

What was more, he could feel a heavy sense of rejection toward him from her. Something that once again didn't really surprise him.

After all, Freya was also the same when they first met.

Even though what happened to Medea was a few hundred years ago, he guessed that for the witches, it was still quite new.

It didn't help that witches had a really bad reputation in Lustburg and that this bad reputation came from the propaganda of the previous kings.

Seeing Sol like this, Medea said softly, ”Mother, please, you promised to not pick on him.”

”*Sigh* You are really the most problematic of my daughters. Last time I didn't intervene because I believed in your judgment, and we all know the result. Now, you are gunning for his descendant?”

Ambrosia couldn't help but nag Medea this time.

In reality, Ambrosia really didn't hate Sol. She had observed him while hiding those last few days and she had to admit that he was really a decent young man.

The fact that his resistance toward magic and curse was high enough to offset most of the effect of that old snake's curse was something she was also happy to see.

Still, she didn't want her daughter to suffer another heartbreak.

Letting another sigh, she shook her head, ”Perhaps I am really being too meddlesome. I will stop for now.”

Saying so, she turned toward Sol, ”So, I can already guess why you are here and the answer is no. I do not know how to save that little girl. I could ask Asmodeus, but that old snake really hates you, you know?”

There Ambrosia let out a laugh full of happiness.

”You should hear him when he complains to me about you. You are touching his dear little granddaughter, but he can do nothing about it. What is more, it seems like you are about to put your claws on another daughter of his. Fufufu~! This is so fun.”

This was new information, ”Granddaughter? Daughter?”

Ambrosia shook her head, ”This isn't a story I wish to share with you. You just need to know that when you enter the Astral realm, you should really avoid his zone.”

Speaking till there, Ambrosia stopped, ”Hum~Now that I think about it, there is indeed a way. It was just so unlikely that I had unconsciously discarded it.”

For Sol, those words seemed like honey. He perked up considerably and asked,

”Which way? ”

There, Ambrosia answered solemnly,

”Nirvana. The unique skill of the Phoenix. One that they can only use 9 times in their entire life”

Then she continued with a derisive smile, ”But it is basically impossible. After all, Phoenix loves purity more than anything in this world. For them, your aunt should be more a target of cleansing than anything else.”

Sol's eyes constricted. It wasn't just because he got a lead, but rather because of the coincidence.

Closing his eyes, he asked,

”But, what if I had a contract with one of them?”

”Oh!?” Ambrosia was visibly startled before nodding, ”Then I would say that you are really lucky.”

”Luck, heh?”

Sol gave a bitter smile as he thought,

'Camelia, just how much thought did you put into all of this?'

If it was in the past, he would have seriously thought that it was a coincidence or luck.

But now, he would be stupid if he thought so.

Camelia clearly knew about Lilith's secret long ago and must have made her preparation.

He had always wondered why she wanted him to contract with a Phoenix. After all, even though getting a rank S was difficult for some, it wouldn't have been all that difficult for him.

In the worst case, he could make a contract with any dragon.

Even though it would be somewhat of a loss since he was a half dragon himself, S rank was still S rank.

But it was clear that she really thought about everything.
