Witcher's Atelier

Chapter 57 Fairy tales are not all lies



"My eyes are big so that I can see you more clearly." The wolf vowed, "My hands are big so that I can hug you more warmly! Everything on my body is big, and you will soon find that what I said is true.

Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes, little girl? Why don't you answer?"

The sorceress smiled slightly: "Because I want to give you a surprise."

-"Surprise", selected from "Fairy Tales and Folk Tales" by Florence Delannoy

...

This is a petite and slender sorceress with long straight straw-colored hair. Her blue lace shirt is low-cut and covered with white gauze. It is so thin that the small mole under the collarbone is clearly visible.

She has a straight nose, light cherry lips, a slender neck like a swan, and skin whiter than white gauze, as smooth and delicate as a girl. A silver ankh inlaid with zircon hangs around her neck.

The only thing that was inconsistent with her girlish look was her eyes. The clear and bright crystals reflected the pride of despising everything. When she swept the audience with a cold gaze, no knight dared to look her in the face.

When the sorceress walked towards Siegfried step by step, her posture was like a ferocious lioness. Victor, who was standing beside the knight, could even feel the tingling sensation brought by the magic fluctuations on his skin.

She extended her right hand to Siegfried and asked the Rose Knight to bow and kiss her hand impeccably.

According to the little knowledge that the witcher Eskar taught the teenager, almost all sorceresses like others to kiss their hands. To put it euphemistically, it makes them enjoy the same treatment as princesses, and to put it bluntly, it makes them feel respected.

── Eskar: "They are always feared, but rarely respected."

Her earrings swayed and jingled. She moved gently, but she seemed both flamboyant and presumptuous.

"Speak, Siegfried of Danso, Keira Metz, the court advisor of Temeria, is asking you a question. What is the matter with the riot in the temple area tonight? It is said that a wandering wizard is involved. Your Majesty Foltest - your king wants to know the details?" As she spoke, she raised her white neck, which was so slender that it seemed that it could be easily broken.

Victor was slightly bent, and his sight angle could only see her calves, her two-foot dragon leather slippers, and a few exposed delicate toes.

Since she walked towards Siegfried, he started this posture next to her, so as to appropriately show that the young boy could not bear the shyness of her beauty.

—— Eskar: "It is dangerous to get close to a sorceress, because her beauty can easily make you lose your soul, and if you don't lose your soul for her beauty - at least act like you are, then she may give you an unforgettable 'surprise'!"

The moodiness of sorceresses is as famous as their beauty. Victor would not imagine that he is handsome enough to make Keira Metz. Metz forgave him for any unintentional offense.

In response to her question, the Rose Knight handed the confession he had just signed to the sorceress.

Flipping through the words recorded by the clerk, the disdain in Kayla's eyes gradually deepened as she narrated, and her light cherry lips opened and closed: "Stupid country bumpkin..." Her brown eyes turned and glanced at Victor, "And the ordinary poor little thing, together staged this worthless farce, but I had to leave the warm bath in the middle of the night, put down the blueberries and nuts, and Fiorano Rose Red, ah ah... damn..."

The sorceress was unhappy, and no one in the reception room was qualified to persuade her, so including the seemingly honest knight Siegfried, all looked at her nose, and did not meet her eyes, and kept quiet to listen to her curse.

Until from far to near, "Ka...! Ka...! Ka...! Ka...!" The regular sound of iron boots hitting the ground, inexplicably stepped out with a powerful momentum, interrupting the sorceress's complaints.

The door opened, and the rectangular face was firm and strict, and the beard was majestic.

"There was a loud bang in the sky, and Jaques made a brilliant appearance!" Victor instantly thought of this ancient description, because his appearance was so handsome that there was nothing to say. All the knights bowed deeply at the same time, Angouleme and Victor followed the salute, and even the proud female sorceress nodded in greeting.

As he walked into the room and approached step by step, compared with the tingling sensation of Kayla's magic fluctuation just now, Jaques's magic fluctuation now even made the air seem sticky.

To explain it in a more vivid way, if the wolf faction badge is used as a vibrating massager, then Kayla can cause a third-speed vibration, and Jaques comes up with the strongest fifth-speed vibration.

...

In the reception room, when they finally started talking face to face, everyone else became a decoration.

Jaques of Aldeburg: "Court Advisor Ms. Kayla Metz, what is the reason for you to visit the Knights' headquarters."

His tone was calm, but not respectful, and her expression was smiling, but it was definitely not joyful.

"Master Knight Jaques, our king wants to know the whole story of the commotion in the temple area tonight."

He took the incident report from Kayla's hand and read it briefly. He ignored the sorceress and looked at Siegfried first: "My knight, I want to hear your opinion! Do you think this record is credible?"

Siegfried stroked his chest and bowed his head, "Master, I believe in my friend's character. In fact, we fought together to eradicate water ghosts a few days ago."

The master knight smiled, glanced up and down at Victor, and then said: "Clerk, please make another copy of the confession and send it to Falvik in Morn later. Tell him that I hope to hear his opinion."

Then he looked at Kyramez and flicked the note on his hand, "Madam, this is the beginning and end of the matter. Please pay tribute to the king on my behalf."

After being dismissed lightly, the sorceress's eyes were like ice cubes, looking at Jaques coldly, while the knight master's eyes were as cold as steel poured into iron.

The fierce eye contact did not last long. The sorceress leaned down to indicate that the matter was over. The swaying white snow when she bent down shook people's hearts. Unfortunately, the four people in front of her were not affected.

The Master of Knights is determined, the Knight of Roses is dedicated to spreading fire, Angoulaine is a girl, and Victor doesn't see anything at all. He always stares at the sorceress's calves and is committed to maintaining his shy image like a deer.

After casting a spell to make a copy of the confession, the sorceress opened the portal with a wave of her hand and disappeared into the room, leaving only a lingering fragrance - rosemary.

Her departure obviously made everyone feel much more comfortable. The knights and the clerk who witnessed the confession saluted the leader of the knights and walked out of the reception room. Then there were only four people left in the room.

"The witcher's apprentice, Victor from the town of Bell, east of Serikania, the 'Unsullied' recognized by the goddess Meriteri," Jaques's voice was magnetic, warm and mellow. "Don't worry in the future, Falwick will stop attacking you, unless he wants to bear the king's wrath and my sanctions."

Hearing this, the young man raised his head and came face to face with the Knight Master at close range.

"Thank you for your help, Master Jaques."

"It's a small matter, which school of thought are you a disciple of? Young man."

"I'm from the cat school."

"What about the master who guided you? I didn't see anything about him in the transcript."

"He died in the Qichimo Lair last winter..." At this point, Victor lowered his head to express his sorrow, and Angoulaine also lowered his head in cooperation without saying a word.

"What a pity..." Jaques patted the boy on the shoulder comfortingly.

"Listen, you've done a good job with the water ghost. I appreciate you as a young man who is determined to eradicate monsters. However, since you have lost your mentor, I don't think you have to become a witcher. If you change your mind next time, tell me Siegfried, our Knights welcome more companions to work together for humanity."

After saying comfort and encouragement to Victor, the Master Knight was about to leave. He shook the Rose Knight's arm to express encouragement. He also did not forget to smile and nod to Angoulin, and then left the reception room at a fast pace.

Thank you for every collection, every recommendation, and every word of encouragement.
