Chapter 222 197. I, Dorothy, never lie.
In the suite's living room of the inn, Dorothy and her companions were sitting on the couch waiting.
The homebody witch rested her elbows on her knees, interlacing her fingers to support her chin, and sank into deep thought.
"emmmm, this really seems like an arrangement by fate. Those rabbit sisters I met before were not orcs, but Moon Rabbits, huh?"
Although she only got a quick glimpse when the door opened, her photographic memory allowed her to instantly recognize the identity of the bunny girl who opened the door and the little rabbit hiding behind her.
They were unmistakably the rabbit sisters who had accidentally smeared ice cream all over her a month ago during her first outing after arriving at the Witch Academy, and it was from that time that the name 'Dorothy' spread throughout the academy.
Originally, she had thought it was just a chance encounter and never expected that their next meeting a month later would end up like this.
Speaking of which, back then the sisters had said they would repay her, so could the allegiance of the Moon Rabbit Race be a gift from fate?
Tch, I can't understand it, can't see through it, I'll just leave it to chance.
After mulling over it for a long time and still not understanding the Divination Department's talk of fate's trajectories, Dorothy chose to give up.
Even though the books say that those with the talent for prophecy should be able to sense their own fate's track with some effort, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't sense anything; her fate was chaotic, all unknown.
Dorothy felt that her own talent in this aspect of fate was probably just average at best.
However, thinking about it, since those Moon Rabbit sisters were associated with Sidwell and his group, her identity as the young lady was probably exposed by now.
"Sigh, it was not easy finding a silly rabbit who didn't recognize me, and I had wanted to have some fun teasing her, but now there's no chance for that,"
the homebody witch thought with inevitable regret.
She herself didn't really like the façade of the young lady; after all, this identity was now being exalted too highly, almost to the point of deification – but Dorothy knew she wasn't as amazing as the Magic Web Forum made her out to be; that was simply over-glorification.
The reason she finally decided to accept Sidwell's loyalty wasn't entirely because of that surprising law; more importantly, it was because the silly rabbit, who clearly did not recognize her and was unaware of all her halos, was still willing to acknowledge her as her master. She quite liked that loyalty to the 'little witch Dorothy' and not to the 'young lady.'
She had initially been curious about how that silly rabbit would introduce her to her people when they went to the Moon Rabbit Ark later, but unfortunately, her disguise was blown all too soon.
Sigh, all right then, no more pretending, it's time to lay my cards on the table.
"Three, two, one..."
Dorothy silently counted down, and as she finished, she heard a 'snap' as the door opened, and then Miss Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit burst out of the room, her eyes red with anger glaring at her, and through gritted teeth, she squeezed out a sentence.
"You fraud king."
Miss Moon Rabbit, reflecting on her previous behavior, felt so embarrassed she wanted to roll around on the floor; she wished there was a crack in the ground for her to crawl into. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
Damn it, the person she had thought to be a useless master was actually such an important figure – a genius who was the second in the history of the Witch Calendar to pass the Nine Gates exam all at once after the Devil King, a tyrant who had trampled over the whole Armed Society by herself, a Monster whose allure even the vice ruler and Student Council President of the academy couldn't resist...
She was a witch monster destined to join the ranks of the Sages if she didn't die young.
Sidwell used to think about earning money to support her by working; now, did he think he matched her status? Did she even need his support with such an identity?
Wuu wuu wuu... Liar, heartless woman, big liar...
Miss Moon Rabbit felt an intense wave of resentment thinking about how she had pretended to be just an ordinary witch when introducing herself.
If it hadn't been for Ellie and Liz telling her the truth just now, she might still be in the dark, playing the anxious clown.
At this moment, Sidwell finally understood what the Queen Mother's prophecy, stating that her destined one was a great fraud, really meant.
She had previously thought that her deceptive master's ideals were easily swaying, but now she suddenly realized that the queen had been playing with her all along.
It pained her to have considered everything for this damn master, worrying about how to persuade her entire race, scared that her people would look down on her. She must have been laughing at me the whole way, definitely, why else would she be such a bad thing, aghhh...
Just thinking about this is too much, even for someone with the heart of a lion to bear. Sidwell was going crazy inside; her bunny eyes, already a bright red, were now even redder, and she felt tears were about to be forced out by her anger.
This damn queen was too terrible, a bad thing, glared at with eyes...
However, in response to Miss Moon Rabbit's rage and accusations, Dorothy merely shrugged her shoulders, looking quite innocent as she spread her hands out.
"I've told you not to slander my good name. Sidwell, have I ever told you a single lie from the start?"
"How could you not have, you...."
Seeing her lousy queen show no signs of introspection and even attempting to argue, Miss Moon Rabbit became even angrier. She subconsciously wanted to retort.
"You clearly said you were just an ordinary Ashen Witch from the Civil Engineering Series, talking about becoming a real estate tycoon."
Sidwell asked sharply, her voice full of indignation. How could the famous heiress of Witch Academy possibly be an Ashen Witch? With her extraordinary talents, instead of achieving great things, she was talking about going into real estate? She must be fooling someone else.
"But I really am a freshman in automated mechanical civil engineering, I have a student ID as proof. I'm serious about getting into real estate; I need to make money, a lot of money. Developing real estate and marvelous architecture brings in money fast."
Dorothy took out her student ID to prove her innocence.
"Then you also said you were weak, why didn't you tell me you were actually so powerful... "
Miss Moon Rabbit wanted to continue, but she was interrupted by the Homebody Witch before she could finish.
"To be fair, I am indeed weak right now, you could beat me with one hand. As for my identity, I honestly haven't mentioned it, but then again, you never asked."
Sidwell: "...."
She painstakingly recalled her encounters with this worthless master from the beginning and was shocked to find that, maybe, just maybe, it seemed like she had never been lied to, it really did seem like she had always assumed the witch was a failure...
emmmmm.....
Miss Moon Rabbit was silent.
"Alright, enough playing around, I admit I teased you a bit. It's just because you, silly rabbit, are adorably stupid, right?"
Seeing that further teasing might truly push Miss Moon Rabbit into shutting down, Dorothy decided to quit while she was ahead. She approached and, taking advantage of Sidwell's current lack of resistance, did something she had been longing to do for a while.
I stroke, I squeeze, ah, so soft, the feel is top-notch, so satisfying.
The Homebody Witch reached out and stroked Sidwell's smooth white hair, as well as the long rabbit ears that poked out from it, and a blissful smile spread across her face.
Unfortunately, this happiness was short-lived. Realizing that her head-pat had awoken the self-shutting Miss Moon Rabbit, who was now starting to resist, Dorothy quickly opened her mouth to cut off any backlash.
"Okay then, is the transport beacon ready? It's time to visit your race. I've said before, if you choose me, then you're my family. Your family is naturally my family as well, and I never mistreat my own family. That is the truth."
Dorothy spoke earnestly, making her promise.
Sidwell: "..."
Just as Miss Moon Rabbit was about to explode in fury at the audacious hand on her head, she fell silent once again upon hearing those words.
... Miss Moon Rabbit complied...
