Otaku Witch-Chapter 1822 - 942: Choosing Sides
Capítulo 1822: Chapter 942: Choosing Sides
Dorothy did not pay attention to Laura, who was shocked, nor bothered with Senior Parasol, who was raging ineffectively. She simply tilted her head and looked at the petite Flame Demon Sage in front of her, then directly asked.
“What brings you here to see me?”
In response, Evelette first shook her head, then seemed to think of something and nodded.
“Originally, there wasn’t much, I just came to take a look. After all, I’ve never been certain whether your existence was real or just my imagination. Now that I’ve seen you, that long-standing puzzle has an answer.”
She spoke frankly, and indeed, that was her main reason for coming to see Dorothy today. However, upon actually seeing Dorothy again, a new thought suddenly emerged in her mind.
“My Lady, will you become the Future Fourth King? If you intend to, I am willing to support you.”
The Flame Demon Sage said earnestly.
Dorothy: “….”
The homebody witch’s eyes widened instantly; she was indeed a bit frightened by Evelette’s proposal.
Damn, senior just said someone would think I’m cold, and now you’re really proposing to send me clothes, huh?
Meanwhile, Fanny, who had been shaking with anger and cold, was trembling even more.
Traitor, execution! Don’t think you can humiliate me just because I can’t beat you now. Wait until I achieve omnipotence fifty years later, I’ll ensure you regret this…
Senior Parasol began angrily cursing in various ways. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
She had just joked with Dorothy, not expecting that the Flame Demon Sage would truly disrespect her so. Even if you genuinely want to support Dorothy, couldn’t you close the door and say it secretly? Did you have to do it right in front of me? I see you really don’t hold me in any respect.
She harbors a deep grudge, and this is a grudge she intends to keep; no amount of persuasion can change her mind.
Of course, no one was coming to persuade her anyway.
Dorothy glanced at the already red-tinged senior, somewhat speechless.
If senior indeed jumped out now and pointedly scolded Evelette, she could still admire senior’s courage a bit, but now senior was still hiding behind her everyday cognitive barrier.
Of course, whether this cognitive barrier is open or not makes little difference, given that among the four present, this thing could perhaps only prevent Laura from seeing her; others, whether Evelette or Miss Kikyo, are Sage Immortals who can directly perceive senior’s existence.
Therefore, the angry curses from senior earlier could indeed be heard by Evelette.
But, you know, the form is important. In senior’s own words, it’s a matter of whether the door is closed or not.
Since senior’s scolding was done with the cognitive barrier open, Evelette could thus pretend she was genuinely affected by the barrier and didn’t hear the insults.
In reality, the Flame Demon Sage genuinely acted this way; she just slightly glanced at the hopping mad princess, with some disappointment in her eyes.
Hmm, Evelette really intended to provoke deliberately. Her proposal was sincere, but at the same time it was a stimulus to this deranged princess.
Honestly, as a contemporary Sage, she naturally knew of the existence of this Future Fourth King early on. However, knowing does not equate to approval.
Not just her; in fact, within the Council of Sages, even beyond it, many sages are not very satisfied with this Fourth King.
After all, how wise and heroic the Third King was back then, who among them hadn’t shown extraordinary talents from the start? But when it came to this future heir, why did it suddenly become so dismal?
The Third King rose under the pressure of three Golden Calamities, and now, during your time, it can be said to be the best era with no pressure, a heavenly start, so what then?
And this princess, without any external threat, played herself into madness.
How could everyone believe in you, support you?
Though this princess indeed is the Heavenly Mandate Fourth King, born through the direct nurturing of the Mother of the World, reaching the level of sages, everyone understands the nature of this princess’s birth.
She’s merely an experimental product of the attempt by the Third King and the Mother of the World to explore the Omnipotent Realm, and currently even a failure at that.
Evelette certainly cannot see where this princess measures up to the Third King; let alone leading the Witch World to a new peak, the Flame Demon Sage only sees trouble, with this lunatic possibly bringing more disaster to the Witch World.
In short, a princess without the demeanor of a king indeed struggles to win over people.
See, I’ve openly embarrassed her, yet she lacks the courage to directly punish me, the traitor, even resorting to covert actions.
Such cowardice, how can it achieve anything?
Though Evelette is among the more amiable Flame Demon Witches, she remains direct in her manner. This person is quite straightforward.
If you want me to support you, show me something that can win me over, whether it’s strength, wisdom, or courage and willpower.
As for Heavenly Mandate?
Sorry, perhaps other sages might acknowledge it, but Evelette, a grassroots sage who fought her way up from the bottom, is the least convinced by any Heavenly Mandate.
