At that time, she did not understand the question. It was only after she was exiled from the City of Glow and experienced those days without shelter and food during the escape that she began to realize the heavy burden of “life”.
However, Andrea did not expect to hear this question again from a Taquila survivor.
“Why shouldn’t I know about it?” Carol asked, winking and smiling at her.
“No, I didn’t mean that…” Andrea was a bit embarrassed and answered, “I thought you ancient witches never had to pay any attention to these matters.”
“Because the common people took care of everything?” Carol asked, leaning on the railing, “In fact, I was never very different from those common people.”
Andrea was a little surprised and asked, “How could that be true?”
“Although there is a fundamental difference between a witch and a common person, how could the Union spare too much energy for a weak non-combat witch? Unlike Phyllis, my ability and magic power were of the lowest rank after awakening, so I was almost forgotten by the Union during the latter part of the war.” She looked at the waves as if she was recalling the past days. “During the days when I lost the allowance, I lived with a group of common people. After the city was invaded, I also relied on them to persist right up till the very last moment.”
“But in the battle in the Kingdom of Dawn, your abilities were completely unlike those of a non-combat witch…”
Even Ashes the Extraordinary would not have been able to defeat her.
“Training for hundreds of years is enough to change everything,” said Carol, opening her hand and clenching it slowly. “In fact, when compared to those previous companions, I even feel a little fortunate that I’ve become a God’s Punishment Witch. At least I’ve become stronger now. I’m no longer ignored, and I’m able to do something for everyone. Since we met His Majesty, it’s also been a new kind of reward.”
Andrea suddenly realized that she might not have started talking to her for no reason. She asked, “Why… do you tell me these things?”
Carol looked up and answered, “Because I envy you.”
Andrea was stunned and stared blankly at her.
“With your ability, even in the days of the Union, you would have been an excellent combat witch. Since you were able to have a High Awakening at such a young age, you could have become one of Taquila’s superiors.”, The God’s Punishment Witch said lightly, “Did you know? At that time, my greatest wish was to join the Blessed Army and get a blessing from Lady Natalia before a battle. You could achieve it easily. Now I’ve lost the possibility to become stronger. On the contrary, you’re still far from your limits.”
Carol paused and said, “The stronger you are, the more challenges you’ll meet and the more setbacks you’ll encounter. But don’t forget, no matter how much hardship you experience, you’re already enviable.”
Hearing that, Andrea suddenly understood.
She was comforting her.
After her father’s belated apology and the farewell to her childhood playmates, she had been feeling down for quite some time. It was only as she was getting closer and closer to Her Royal Highness that her mood gradually improved. Apparently, the God’s Punishment Witch had noticed this and chose to share her past experiences with her at this time.
That was right. These kinds of twists and turns were nothing to a Taquila survivor. As a witch, what she blessings she still had were far more than what she had lost.
“Thanks,” whispered Andrea, after being silent for a moment.
Carol shook her head and replied, “I just told the truth.” Then she stood up and walked back toward the cabin.
“By the way, about what you just asked,” Andrea said loudly towards her back, “They bury the straw as fertilizer. After all, they don’t need it for a fire in Neverwinter now.”
The God’s Punishment Witch did not look back, but made a gesture of “I understand”.
Andrea also could not help raising her lips. She turned back to face the direction of Neverwinter, her heart full of expectation.
