Chapter 370
I Have a Suggestion
As soon as these words came out, there was a rare silence.
Old K subconsciously shrank his head back, blinked his eyes and sized up the black-robed woman.
The silk-like black robe was as soft as water, outlining her exquisite figure. Looking at her big eyes, she looked very innocent.
“Witch?”
Old K looked at her for a while and said, “How does she look like a witch? Shouldn’t a witch be an old woman who is very old and fierce with wrinkled skin? How can she be as young and beautiful as you?”
“You flatter me.”
The woman who called herself a Witch held her face with one hand and kept waving her other hand. “I’m really a Witch, but it’s not that exaggerated. My grandmother used to be like you said, but she passed away, so I took over.”
“Eh? Can the Witch take over?” Leda asked.
“If the king can take over, why can’t the Witch take over?” The Witch said.
What he said seemed to be right, but he felt that something was wrong…
“Well, isn’t the witch the kind of existence that likes the blood of young girls and will cast a curse on the princess occasionally, or turn the prince of a country into a frog?”
“So powerful!”
The Witch widened her eyes and seemed to be fascinated. “That kind of Witch doesn’t seem bad…”
“Enough, what are you asking.”
Kuro rolled his eyes and stepped forward. “Hey, what are you?”
“I’m not a thing. No, I mean, I’m a thing. No, I’m a witch. I’m good at making herbs.” The witch was confused for a while before she reacted.
Confirmed, it was an idiot.
“Are you really a witch?” Old K asked.
The Witch nodded. “Yes, I am the Witch.”
“Then… what about my fiancée?”
Old K looked at Crowe, and Crowe looked at Donald and Basil.
“Well, I thought that person was the Witch…” Donald scratched his head. “It turns out not to be? When I saw her, wasn’t that woman pouring poison into you?”
“No, it’s just that I was clumsy and fell out with the medicine bottle, and the smell that leaked out was too bad. I almost fainted. She was just kind enough to pick it up for me.” The Witch scratched her head and said in embarrassment.
Old K looked at it for a while and asked Donald, “Marine, why didn’t you bring two people here and only one?”
“It’s mainly because we encountered a monster. The enemy is too strong and we didn’t think too much about it,” Donald said honestly.
Old K nodded and looked at Donald. He suddenly asked, “Since this kind of beauty is a witch, the woman she captured must be cuter and more beautiful, right?”
Donald fell silent.
Basil thought for a moment, then lowered his head and said nothing.
Only Stork looked puzzled.
Leda repeated Old K’s words to Kanon. Only then did Kanon understand. She nodded hard at Old K and said in an admiring and gentle tone, “Your Majesty, you really pay attention to the agreement.”
“I am not the king… Wait, what do you mean?!” Old K found the blind spot.
What does this have to do with an agreement?
Also, what kind of tone is this!
Old K leaned back and thought for a while. He suddenly said, “Well, let me make a proposal, this Witch…”
“Eh? Me?” The Witch pointed at herself.
“Yes, do you only know how to make herbs?”
“Ah… yes, I only know how to make herbs and nothing else.”
“Then so be it. Anyway, you have encountered a monster and you have not rescued her. Just treat the person who has not been rescued as a witch. Okay, then this lady will be my fiancée and make the best of it. This lady will marry me, I don’t mind at all.”
Old K stroked his curly beard and nodded. “Let’s do that. Someone, bring this… Well, what’s the name of my fiancée? Let me think…”
“Catherine,” the Witch suddenly said.
“Yes, Catherine, from now on you are Catherine,” Old K said.
Then, he was stunned. “How do you know her name?”
“Of course we know her name when we are together. She often said that she came to the Twin Horse Kingdom to marry her royal family. So it’s you.”
The Witch hit her palm with her fist and said, “Don’t worry, she will be fine. That Lion Ape is not that boring.”
“You know that monster?”
Crowe asked, “Just now you said that the smell of herbs leaked out from you? Are those wild beasts violent because of you?”
“No, no, no. I’m just trying to save them.”
The Witch shook her head like a rattle-drum. “I don’t know what’s wrong with those animals. They will inexplicably enter the manic period from a while ago, and they will fall into the manic period for a longer and longer time. If this continues, sooner or later, the animals will become completely manic and that will cause disaster to this land.”
“So I dug a tunnel there and studied the habits of those animals every day, trying to make an antidote to save their mania. As for the Lion Ape…”
The Witch paused for a moment. “I’m not very familiar with it. I just met it occasionally. One night, I saw it dancing on the grassland. It was quite beautiful. It’s really hard to imagine that such a big body can dance so smoothly.”
“It also found me, but it didn’t do anything to me, so Catherine is there and nothing will happen.”
“Why do you have the king’s fiancée?” Crowe asked coldly.
“It’s a thief.”
The Witch said, “Catherine said that she was attacked by a thief, but she was lucky enough to escape on the way. The other side seems to treat her maid as a young lady. It’s strange… Catherine is clearly such a good person, why do people always mistake her for someone else?”
“Rumors like ‘Witch Arrests’ are actually rumors made by thieves? What is the purpose of this? Won’t they think of them?”
Crowe adjusted his glasses and asked Old K, “Your Majesty, is someone looking for you for ransom?”
Old K shook his head. “Not yet.”
“That’s strange…” Crowe said suspiciously, “If you don’t want the ransom, then what should we do…”
He did not doubt that this Demoness was lying, because looking at the expressions of Basil and Donald, he knew that Catherine was a dinosaur. Who would catch such an ugly woman to suck blood for youth? Moreover, that woman and this Demoness were hiding in a hole at the bottom of the hill.
The Witch did not know when they would come. Besides, she did not know that she would be the one to be taken away. It was impossible for her to make arrangements in advance.
What she said is true, but because of this, everything seems a little chaotic…
Lion Ape, a thief who captured people but did not ask for ransom, a manic beast. He did not know if they were related.
