"Why bring you along?" Hanna laughed in anger.
Qinna blinked: "Because I’m your mother, and you’re his woman?"
"Let’s not even get into whether that’s true, but I don’t recognize you as my mother, second witch Mistress."
"Then I can also be his woman."
"Hey!!!"
"Why do you look so surprised? When I taught you the Soul Faction from the family’s legacy, I required you to share your man with , didn’t I?" Qinna chuckled, "I always yearn for what I can’t have, especially when it’s sothing you yearn for too; it makes even more obsessed."
Hanna gritted her teeth: "Aren’t you ashad or embarrassed at all?"
"I don’t rember cultivating you to be a girl who knows sha," Qinna sighed, "It’s all Banjee’s fault, you learned bad behavior when you ran away from ho with him."
Hanna realized it was impossible to defeat Qinna in a verbal exchange, decisively shut her mouth, and opened the Gospel Book to inquire about Nona’s whereabouts. Qinna followed behind and asked, "But isn’t Ash on the run with several won? He didn’t take you along; doesn’t he like you enough?"
"Yes," Hanna calmly replied, "I’m his second in Sequence, maybe third in Sequence, or perhaps he has already forgotten about ."
"What then?"
"Nothing much, I’ll just be his Chief Witch. If he cos looking for , I’ll accompany him for a few nights."
"What if he wants to take you away?"
Hanna hesitated, "Unless he makes in charge of a nation."
"Do you have to be in power?" Qinna laughed, "I did try cultivating you to be a power-hungry politician."
"He already has many excellent won around him, even the place of a trophy has been taken by soone else." Hanna shrugged, recalling sothing, "Competing for his favor is not even in the queue for , wielding great power suits better."
"He may not like you enough, but what if you add in the mix?" Qinna hugged her daughter, blinked, and smiled, "He doesn’t have a combination like ours among his won, does he?"
Hanna glanced at her: "Are you serious?"
"Who knows? Maybe just teasing my darling daughter," Qinna scratched Hanna’s chin, "or perhaps..."
"No worries." She patted Hanna’s back, "I respect survival of the fittest the most; when you were weaker growing up, I could bully you at will. Now you’re stronger, if you forbid from finding Ash, then I won’t go."
"But when I catch up to you soday, don’t bla for my whims."
Hanna gave her a surprised glance, shaking her head: "You won’t catch up to , and... Ash won’t appear before us."
As the ruling elite of the Gospel, Hanna and Qinna were inevitably blessed by the Stars Blessing, making "maintaining the interests of the Star Cluster" their highest priority. They had no choice but to do so unless they were willing to abandon their family and country; otherwise, they had to beco Dazzling Star nobles.
Now Ash is the most wanted fugitive of the five nations issued by the decree of Dazzling Star; the first reaction to seeing Ash would be nothing but ’report to the Star Cluster.’
"Ah, there is one more possibility."
"Hmm?"
"Ash is stronger than both of us now." Qinna shrugged her hands, "If he forces us, there’s nothing I can do."
Hanna burst out laughing, couldn’t help but laugh heartily: "Hahaha Ash forcing us..."
"Your sense of humor is really strange, I don’t rember raising such a peculiar daughter."
Qinna pushed open the door to the dressing room, seeing Nona sitting in front of the mirror with her back to them. Nona had previously repelled the Moon Shadow Werewolf Hilfan protagonist with one shot, which was witnessed by them, but Nona was rely a Golden Mage, theoretically unable to even capture Hilfan’s silhouette, and Hilfan’s body must be entwined with the Holy Domain. How did a non-Holy Sanctuary Mage Nona penetrate the Holy Domain?
They thought Nona might have had so adventure, and imdiately ca to inquire. But once they entered the dressing room, a huge sense of discord overwheld them; Nona sat silently in front of the mirror, seemingly deliberately luring them here, and the air was filled with a very comforting scent, akin to the sll of freshly sun-dried bedding, or the scent of food before entering the ho...
The door behind them clicked closed, Hanna and Qinna looked at their backs through the mirror, seeing a vague silhouette—
See no evil, eyes blindfolded.
Hear no evil, ears plugged.
Speak no evil, mouth gagged.
Do no evil, body bound.
In an instant, the two Gospel Legendary Mages, the Chief Witch and Deputy Witch at the pinnacle of power, were attacked and rendered almost powerless, bound all of a sudden, eyes blindfolded, ears plugged, mouths gagged, hands and feet tied, pinned to the ground.
Hanna’s mind went blank, her body trembled uncontrollably, and before fear could grip her heart, she felt a hand lightly pressing on her nape, so gentle she could break free with a little effort. She relaxed like a cat whose nape is held.
As the scent gradually dissipated, she heard sothing being fastened around her neck, heard a crisp click through bone conduction. Imdiately all restraints were released, and when she saw light again, Hanna squinted subconsciously, first seeing the concerned face of Nona, noticing suddenly that Nona was wearing a collar... she too was collared.
She turned her head, seeing a haunting figure half-knelt before her. In his hand, he held three ethereal chains, extending to the collars on her, Qinna’s, and Nona’s necks.
"Sorry, to avoid the Stars Blessing, I had no choice but to make you my prisoners." Ash looked at Hanna, recalling sothing unknown, and softly chuckled, "Young Miss, this ti I’ve caught you."
"Hmm." Hanna’s eyebrows ford a gentle arc, her eyes sparkled, her lips tugged into a soft smile, "I’ve been caught by you."
