Chapter 3706 Margaret's Resentment
Luvia and Bella took this very seriously, so Stella cautiously asked:
"But didn't Shad say that once night falls, the disturbances of fate cease?"
Although Claire wasn't a fortune teller, she had a keen eye for things, and she explained to her apprentice:
"The neatly arranged silk threads were stirred by a great force, and even after the force disappeared, the silk threads would not return to their original state."
Bella nodded:
“I contacted the followers who remained in Moon Bay, and with the help of Grace and Helen, we conducted a triangulation using Moon Bay, Fatummister Island, and Midhill Castle as three points. Although the source of the disturbance of fate has disappeared, the spreading ‘force’ is still spreading outward from our area. Although it will no longer have such a great impact on the ring mages, the lives of ordinary people will definitely be changed as a result.”
She paused slightly:
"Furthermore, the frequency with which 'Infinite Serpent' appears in various locations will also increase significantly as a result."
Grandma Cassandra then asked the fortune tellers:
So what exactly led to today's problems?
Luvia replied:
"It is highly likely related to the actions of the erotic. She had told Shad that she was almost finished with the task she received from Mr. Snake, and this happened at this very moment."
"Could we try to contact the guardian that the water veins have become? Even if they don't know the methods of the Lovers, we should at least find out the specifics of the current seal from them."
When Megan asked, Luvia shook her head:
"Grace and Helen said that the other person was awakened by pain and then completely hid himself, so he was probably in a bad state and didn't trust anyone."
Winnie, who had been standing silently behind Shad, who was seated at the head of the table, speaking up:
"I might be able to find the other person."
Shad turned to look at her, and the crystal-clear maid continued:
"Although this island is not where I was born, I am, after all, a natural spirit born from ice and snow, and I have a strong perception of nature. The giant serpent formed from the water veins was born from the power of the ancient gods, but it can still be considered my kind."
I'll try calling it, and if it responds, I'll invite it to meet Shad.
That's good news, but in Luvia's opinion, that's not the most important thing:
“What happened today could happen again, Shad. No matter how you deal with that woman, you can’t wait any longer.”
Xia De understood what she meant:
"Once you or the Prophet's Association find her location again, I will invite Tobesk's friends. The Clown Troupe and the Church of the True God have prepared relics. With the [Void] turtle in the Prophet's Association, plus Iluna's power, it's time to end Act Five."
As for the matter of true love and tears, it would be better if it could be achieved, but if it can't, it's fate's arrangement.
The witches all agreed to this arrangement. This time, the enemy's main body was not as powerful as the "Falling Star Beast," but because its power came directly from Mr. Snake, the intensity of the battle might not be weaker than last time.
Whether it's Luvia and the witches or the Prophet's Association, they can determine the location of the "Eros" within a day or two, so preparations for the ending of Act 5 must also begin.
Besides the "Guardian" sensed by Grace and Helen and Shad gaining an extra Black Arc from the turmoil on the island this afternoon, Flora also obtained a new Arc using the recently acquired document-level relic, [Hook of Earl], while leading the team to resolve the island's problems.
The Curved Arc was not obtained from the relic, but from some kind of evil object unknown even to the witches. The fish-shaped evil object lurked in the lake outside the village on the southwest side of the island. Flora used this relic to deal with it, but it was not the evil object that took the bait, but the Curved Arc.
The curved shape is a brilliant bright yellow, but its brilliant color corresponds to a rather terrifying fate:
"The fate of corruption. All things will eventually decay, thus eternally maintaining a state between life and death. Unable to continue developing, yet also unable to die completely."
Shad deciphered the fate of this curved arc:
"It can enhance my magical technique [Corrupting Blood Mist]. Although I know I can't get any positive destiny from evil things, this is still somewhat unexpectedly dangerous. This bright yellow color... I feel like I can see a very bad future."
Aside from Granny Cassandra, no one has refined the corruption-related abilities. But this is, after all, the Arc of Fate, and now, including those black arcs forged from the Infinite Serpent, all the arcs and rings have proven to resist the disturbances of fate.
There will definitely be a second "fate disturbance" after the first, so there's no harm in having more curves. And as the story of fate draws closer to its final act, more and more curves will surely appear.
Of course, what Shad is most looking forward to is the appearance of a new "Ring of Fate" as soon as possible. Iluna has almost collected three, but he still doesn't have a single one.
Dinner turned into a discussion, with the maids, under Matilda and Winnie's direction, constantly removing plates and replacing them with fruit and tea.
The discussion didn't end until 9 p.m., but the witches didn't rest. Everyone had things to do. Today's events marked the beginning of the true later stages of the story of fate, and there wasn't much time left for everyone.
Shad wasn't in a hurry to go home with Dorothy. At Luvia's instruction, he found Margaret alone in the cabin.
The witch apprentices were all entitled to their own rooms, though not as luxurious as those of the great witches, these were still the first-class cabins on the "Radiant Messenger." The blonde princess was accompanied only by a maid this time, who discreetly left after Shad entered. The maid closed the door from the outside, and Margaret reached out and hugged Shad.
"It's been a long time since the year-end holiday, Shad. I hope you don't mind that I'm so late. There's been so much going on in Velendale, and I've missed you a lot. I can still see Professor Sylvia often, but I can only hear about her news."
Then she said, somewhat aggrieved:
"When you went to Willendale for the funeral before the year-end holiday, I was all prepared. If it weren't for Teacher Sylvia getting me out of the way and taking you away, I would have stayed with you then."
She hadn't forgotten about it, or rather, she harbored deep resentment towards it. But of course, she wouldn't show it in front of Sylvia, so she only spoke her thoughts with a hint of resentment now that she was alone with Shad.
The faint scent of perfume on Margaret reassured Shad, and he reached out and put his arm around her waist.
"There will be other opportunities in the future, besides..."
His right hand mischievously grabbed a certain spot, causing the princess's face to flush red.
"Are you worried about me? I won't let you leave me."
The blonde princess wriggled slightly in Shad's arms:
"There are more and more 'big witches' around you. In a few years, I won't even have the advantage of being young anymore."
"Aren't you also studying Violet's 'The Secret of Immortality'? Age is not important to us at all."
Shad paused briefly, looked down at Margaret who was looking up at him, and then kissed her. After the kiss, Margaret's face flushed even more, but her mood had clearly improved. She asked softly:
"So, when will you visit Willendale again? Your visit before the year-end holidays was too short, and you only saw the cemetery on the outskirts and the night view of Willendale. I'd like to take you to see the scenery of the capital of this southern country, which is quite different from Tobesko."
"After the story of fate ends, I promised Daniste I would go to a very important place. After that, even if war breaks out, it won't affect my journey."
Yes, war.
The princess, nestled in Xia De's arms, seemed to be lost in thought for a moment before speaking again:
"You must promise that the next time you go to Willendale, no matter who invites you, you will stay with me. I will never let anyone send me away again."
Shade laughed, stroking her long hair with his right hand:
"No problem, I promise you. But war is imminent. How are you doing in Velendale? Do you need my help?"
“Having Teacher Sylvia is enough, and Earl Belindel of Moon Bay can also give me some political and economic advantages. My two older brothers are looking forward to formally confirming their right to the throne through this war. Father has also been hinting to us that he will announce the next king after this war ends.”
Margaret rested her face against Shad's chest:
"Teacher Sylvia is quite disdainful of this, and I know what she means. Although he is my father, in my eyes, this is nothing more than a carrot dangling from a donkey. Ever since the illegitimate siblings in Vistalin, I have been somewhat disappointed in my father. He doesn't care about his family as much as I thought. This is probably a quality that a king must possess. I understand my father's intentions, but I am not a girl who can be manipulated by others."
The two sat on the sofa, Margaret leaning against Shad, sharing her thoughts and experiences of the past few months. Although less than two months had passed since the New Year's Eve celebrations, Margaret, deeply embroiled in courtly and political turmoil, was already burdened with many troubles.
Lacey has the implicit political support of Galina in the Yordle Palace, while Margaret, who faces the hostility of her two brothers, would have had a much lower chance of inheriting the throne if it weren't for Sylvia's help and the convenience provided by the great witches.
Once she started talking, it was hard to stop. By the time Margaret realized she had said too much, Shad had already been listening for half an hour.
