Finally, Roland could not stay in his bedroom all day and he had to go to the office.
It was almost dusk when Nightingale informed him that Tilly wanted to meet him.
Roland had to put on a coat, comb his long hair, and take a pile of writing papers to the office. He opened the door and found that Tilly and Ashes were there waiting for him.
Seeing Roland holding heavy stuff, Ashes immediately took the thick stack of papers. This left Roland feeling quite surprised as he never expected that Ashes, who had always been dissatisfied with him, would help him one day.
The sunset pierced through a French window, dying the walls orange-red. At the same time, it also left a ray of gold on them. All of this somewhat gave them a sense of parting.
Roland had already guessed Tilly’s intention.
Though Roland did not want them to leave, he knew that this day finally would come. Besides, it was very sincere of them not to leave when he was in a coma.
“I’m here to say goodbye to you,” Tilly said calmly, “I have to go back to Sleeping Island to resolve the Bloodfang Association issues.”
Roland stared at Tilly’s dainty face and eyes which reflected the sunset. After a while of silence, Roland said, “I see. When does the Charming Beauty arrive in the western region? I’ll make a farewell dinner for you. Wait a moment…” He was suddenly stunned and asked, “You mean that you’ll come back?”
Ashes could not help but cover her mouth.
Tilly directly chuckled and asked humorously, “Well, won’t you welcome me? Brother.”
“No, I mean… Why do you…” Roland opened his mouth in surprise but had nothing to say. After a while, he asked, “Is it because of the Months of Demons?”
“Could it not be for something else?” Tilly stretched her hands and said, “Don’t you have higher expectations for me?”
He was completely astonished.
“Will you…”
“Yes, what you thought is right.” Tilly outspokenly said, “I’ll take the news to Sleeping Island that you won the battle against the church. I’ll also tell them they needn’t live a troubling life and hide on the small island any longer, because the church has completely lost control of City of Neverwinter of Graycastle in the western region. When you’re ready, I shall bring the witches who would like to come to the western region to settle down here. At that time, I hope you won’t to complain that they eat too much.”
Roland’s heart was filled with indescribable excitement as he said, “They’re welcome in the western region at any time!”
“But your castle isn’t big enough to accommodate so many witches. If only half of them would like to come, the number is still several times bigger than that of the Witch Union. What’s more, most of them aren’t combat witches. I’m planning to hire ships to deliver them when the Months of Demons are over, for the routes are much safer at that time.” Princess Tilly revealed a sly grin.
He promised without any hesitation. “There wouldn’t be any problems, for Karl will build enough accommodation before the next spring.”
Tilly stretched out three fingers and said, “In addition, I hope that you can promise me three extra conditions, brother.”
Tilly was so serious that Roland subconsciously sat upright. “Go ahead.”
