Chapter 3955 Dissatisfied Galina (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote)

"A traveling writer from afar sounds appealing, but is he reliable?"

The owner of the "Creation" chair asked, and Vige nodded to her:

“It’s reliable. I brought the treatment plan with me. I’ll have the Speaker and Audrey take a look at it in a bit. Besides, I found out that she has some connection with us. She has already shown enough sincerity to be friendly to me. It would be too impolite of me to continue to doubt her.”

"And that lady is quite beautiful. I've had frequent contact with her these past few days, and we've become very close. She's also agreed to stay in Arcadia City for my treatment throughout the spring, so you don't need to worry about my health."

Secret glances were exchanged quickly around the round table. "Traveling writer," "from afar," "possesses magical abilities," "good-looking," and with Wei Ge's ever-proud smile when mentioning the other person, some of the witches, who had experienced similar situations more than once, immediately realized that someone had finally ended their vacation and had probably set off again.

No one spoke immediately. Galina crossed her arms, thinking she would confirm with Shad later. Sylvia remained calm, having already succeeded. Granny Cassandra and Sylvia exchanged glances, confirming that they had all thought of the same person. Vanessa looked at Vigo, thinking she would have Sirius extract this memory and share it with Vigo in the future.

Megan and Audrey were pleased with themselves for having guessed the truth earlier. Bella felt nostalgic but also looked forward to the "show" that was coming soon. Flora felt she had been cheated because she thought she was an owl when she met Shad.

Claire was the last person besides Viggo to meet Shad, and her feelings were the same as everyone else's:

"Another one. What's there to be proud of? We've already tasted all the afternoon tea snacks. What are you showing off?"

So, instead of seeing the thoughtful and uneasy expressions she expected, Viggo, who was hoping to see some different expressions, saw most of the people around the council round table exchanging glances with blank expressions or doing nothing, including even Granny Cassandra.

When she looked at Speaker Adele, she clearly saw Adele staring at her as if she were some kind of ornamental animal, with a hint of pity in her eyes that she didn't quite understand. This was completely different from what she had expected, and even Vigo Astley, who considered herself very intelligent, didn't understand what was going on.

Finally, Flora, who was closer to Vigor, broke the silence by speaking up:

"If you're sure the other person is trustworthy, we won't ask any more questions. But you must make sure to build a good relationship with this kind of woman who has such excellent healing abilities."

Then the artist deliberately said:

"Wei Ge, why not invite her to stay at your 'Fragrant Residence'? It would show your friendliness and also make it convenient for her to check on your health whenever she wants. Since your relationship is so good, you should be able to do that, right?"

Wei Ge didn't catch the other meaning in those words, and she said regretfully:

“She has her own place in the City of Scholars, so she won’t be staying at my place.”

So all the great witches who knew Shad understood that the person must be Shad.

Then everyone chatted for a while, during which Wei Ge repeatedly observed everyone's expressions, but she couldn't see anyone acting differently from the others. She then sighed at how well that colleague, whose identity she didn't know, was acting, and then thought that she could find another opportunity to test him next time.

The witches who knew the truth did not use their informational advantage to "bully" her.

On the one hand, the ladies present were all respectable people, and on the other hand, they were actually looking forward to the day when the truth would be revealed. With Adele present tonight, they didn't want to expose too much.

Each of the thirteen women present harbored complex thoughts, but Adele, true to her name, was the only one who fully understood them all. She sat there watching her powerful witches interact, secretly hoping that one day she would appear before them, arm in arm with Shad, and rebuke them all for their disloyalty.

What should I wear to the ball tomorrow night?

With this in mind, Viggo left after the council meeting ended. Adele, holding the treatment plan she had brought, glanced at a few witches who were deliberately dawdling and not getting up, shook her head, and also left the council.

If everyone stayed, it would be suspected that they would have a "small meeting after the big meeting," so after Adele left, the ones who remained were Galina, Megan, Flora, and Sylvie.

After confirming that the Great Witch had indeed left, Sylvie continued filing her beautiful fingernails with her nail file.

"Did Vige run into Xia De?"

This question was directed at Galina, and the red-haired duchess shook her head:

“I don’t know either. I haven’t seen Shad these past two days. He’s been too busy with things at the Yodl Palace.”

The artist couldn't help but say:

“The Yodel Palace is so close to the Shad family’s house, Galina, how could you go two days in a row without seeing him?”

Others also felt that Galina was ungrateful and was wasting her opportunity, with Megan saying:

"It's most likely Xia De, I have no doubt about that. What I'm curious about is, what methods did Xia De use to suppress Wei Ge's condition? In my opinion, that's completely impossible."

"He's already done many things that seem completely impossible to us. Speaking of which, did you see Wei Ge's expression just now?"

Sylvie asked with a smile, while Flora showed some sympathy:

"Don't always talk about Wei Ge like that, she's pitiful too."

So Megan mocked:

"You're speaking up for her because Wei Ge promised that if she ever felt she couldn't make it anymore, she would ask you to draw her at her most beautiful, and you could draw her however you wanted, right?"

Flora did not deny it; she simply said:

“But isn’t Vigo moving a little too fast? Galina said she only didn’t see Shad for two days. Is two days enough for Vigo to go to the council to test the waters? Back then, which of us didn’t try our best to cover this up at the beginning, and only started to be bolder when the relationship reached a certain level?”

Jialina snorted:

“I know this person too well. She always says she’s the most beautiful. The moment she sees Xia De, she’ll probably immediately think that he’s the one she’s been waiting for. That’s definitely what she’ll think. I hope Xia De doesn’t get taken advantage of by her.”

She stood up as she spoke:

"The matter at the Yodel Palace has just been resolved. Before returning to the manor, I'll stop by Shad's place to ask about the situation. If you're interested, I'll tell you later."

Flora genuinely believed she was just going to ask about something, but Sylvie and Megan both guessed that once Galina entered the Shad's house, she probably wouldn't be out again until tomorrow.

"You're so busy all day, you need to take care of yourself at night and not stay up late all the time."

So Megan said this on purpose, and Galina smiled:

"But at least I feel fulfilled. Okay, goodbye everyone~"

She left in a hurry, leaving Megan and Sylvie seething with anger, thinking they should visit Shad if they had time in the next few days. Flora, on the other hand, was still thinking about her "art painting." Although she regretted that Viggo might not have the chance to paint, she was genuinely happy that Viggo had been saved.

When Galina arrived at No. 6 St. Teresa's Square, Iluna had already finished dinner and left. Tifa had prepared a late-night snack as a substitute for dinner for her teacher, but the Duchess wasn't concerned with just a meal:

"Shad, you've met Vigo, haven't you? Vigo Astley, the great witch of chaos!"

She asked this question as soon as she went upstairs.

"Yes, Shad was just talking to us about this."

Wearing a nightgown, Luvia sat on the sofa and answered for Shad. Seeing Shad stand up to greet her, Galina also opened her arms and hugged him.

"Really, you didn't see Vige's expression during the council meeting just now, she..."

"She probably won't brag about this, right?"

Shade asked hesitantly, knowing that Galina would never slander someone behind their back:

"Of course not, but judging from her expression, anyone who didn't know better would think she's the first witch to encounter you~ I was the first one, Vige, who always says she's the prettiest, ended up drinking our wine anyway."

She was clearly going to use some extremely vulgar local slang to imply that Viggo Astley was a newcomer, but her ladylike manners prevented her from saying it. Although Shad wanted to emphasize that they were currently just friends, the thought of the witch confessing her feelings upon first meeting made it impossible for even Shad to utter such words.

"Alright, alright, yes, Galina, you're the first witch to know me, everyone knows that. You should have your midnight snack first; no matter how busy you are, you can't miss your meal."

During the late-night snack, Shad recounted the events of the past two days, but with Luvia occasionally chiming in, the explanation of the past two days was quick.

Galina listened as she ate, and she was already displeased when she heard Vigo bite Shad's hand and drink his blood; she was even more displeased when she heard that Vigo Astley had asked Shad to call her by her first name when they first met; and when Shad mentioned that he had given Vigo his blood so that she could always carry it with her, the Duchess's displeasure reached its peak:

"She's in poor health, why would she drink your blood? Besides, I can clearly see she has ulterior motives towards you. Is she trying to take advantage of you? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Luvia smiled:

"There's nothing we can do about it. Although I feel sorry for Xia De, if just a few drops of blood can make that Chaos Witch one of us and make her willingly activate the Chaos Blessing for Xia De, it's actually a good deal."

"That's not just a few drops. Does that mean Shad will have to keep providing her with blood in the future?"
