The doorknob twisted open, revealing a beautiful woman with green hair and light green eyes. She was wearing a brown colored dress along with a bangle on her wrist.

Her hands held a tray filled with food and water for 2-people, one herself while the other for the woman sitting in front of her near the bed where other women was sleeping soundly.

She had beautiful purple hair and soft expression as faced the sleeping women. She was wearing tight clothes that highlighted her curves but offered more speed and mobility along with a cloak with a hood to cover her face.

"How is she....?"

"Fine...Lord has removed the poison from her body so she should be waking up soon. Well, how is everyone...?"

"After you left, a huge horde of demons attacked our camp and killed most of our sisters along with Mentor Cara but...Lord Azik saved us from being slaughtered and took us to [Border town]."

"I see....it is sad that so many of our sisters have died. Maybe I could have saved them if I wa—"

"It's not your fault so don't blame yourself, Wendy was poisoned and hurt so had to escape from the camp to cure her. Even if you didn't have left, the sheer number of the demons was enough to make you despair."

"Sigh.....I am glad that Lord Azik was able to help you guys, though I was curious about how did he found out about the camp."

"He was tracking down a group of demons to find out their hideout, he also said that another person was also helping him."

"Yeah...Lord had found me and Wendy when we were about to be attacked by a demon."

"Thank God that they found us or.....we would be suffering from more casualties."

Sound of footsteps was heard, Kite wearing his usual white cloak and face hidden underneath a hood entered the room.

Nightingale stood up from Wendy's bed and bowed towards him followed by Leaf who realized that he was someone of high status.

"Greetings my Lord....."

"Greetings Lord....."

Kite nodded towards them and walked towards the sleeping Wendy. He put his palm over her wrist and checked her pulse and heartbeat to make sure she was alright.

He moved his palm towards her temple, suddenly Wendy's eyes fluttered open. She saw a palm heading towards her face and panicked.

"No...!"

The intense magic fluctuation was felt by everyone as Kite pulled back his palm and braced himself.

Strong wind burst towards Kite to push him back, Wendy was a kind-hearted witch who would not heart a person if not necessary.

The magic was ineffective on Kite but his hood flew back due to the intensity of the winds, revealing an attractive face with blue eyes and indifferent expression.

"Wendy stop....! He is our benefactor....!"

Nightingale immediately appeared beside Wendy and held her shoulders.

"Calm down Wendy, my lord is one of the leaders of the ȧssociation.....he means no harm to us....."

Wendy calmed down and understood how grave the situation was, she just attacked her benefactor who is also one of the three leaders Nightingale told her about.

He could have her head for this offense against himself.

"I apolo...gize—"

Wendy looked at the young and attractive man in front of her, wearing a white cloak. His white hair fluttered in the wind while his blue eyes gazed deeply at her.

She was slightly stunned by Kite's features but quickly recovered and stood up with Nightingale's help and bowed deeply.

"It's okay....just be careful not to hurt anyone..."

After saying this, Kite turned and left the room while Roland entered the room.

Nightingale bowed deeply followed by Wendy and Leaf as they greeted him. Roland wore black clothes with a military outfit.

"Your Highness....."

"Please rise....."

"I am Roland Wimbledon, the fourth prince of the [Kingdom of Graycastle]. Nice to meet you, Wendy, we have heard a lot about you from Nightingale..."

"I am flattered, Your Highness...."

"How are you feeling, the poison in your system was cleared after my friend bought you here....."

"I am feeling well, just a little weak at the moment....."

"Hahaha....that gust of wind told otherwise....."

"That—..."

"Don't worry I am joking...he wouldn't take it as an offense."

"May I know Lord's name....."

"I am sorry but I can't speak of his name without his permission but you can call him Aizen Sousuke, one of the three leaders along with me and Azik...."

"We can continue this over dinner..."

Roland turned and walked towards the exit but not before gesturing them to follow behind. Outside stood Kattara wearing a maid's uniform, she bowed towards Roland and greeted him.

"Kattara, please ask the witches to come to the dining room for breakfast...."

"As you command Your Highness..."

Kattara utilized her powers and connect to the conscious mind of every single witch in the castle.

ᒥ....You all are to come to the dining room for breakfast, His Highness shall also be there to answer your questions and doubts....ᒧ

"They all will be there in a couple of minutes..."

"Thank you very much Kattara...."

"Its many duty, Your Highness...."

"Very well then, I will be in the dining room...."

After saying so Roland walked towards the dining room with steady steps while Nightingale, Wendy, and Leaf followed behind him.
