"Ah, it seems the action of heading to the chanical Wilderness needs to be postponed a bit."
Dorothy snapped back from the Sea of Consciousness. Though she hadn't heard any effective solution to break the impasse from Old Six, she pondered for a mont and decided to visit the Dragon Kingdom and take a look at the Golden Country first.
[Witch of the Forest: Let think about it more, I'll prepare to go ho and have a look first before making a decision.]
The hobody witch replied to Sophia's words.
Speaking of which, she had originally planned to go ho and have a look after finishing the matters in Night City. Regardless of whether to inherit or not, after clearing up the misunderstanding with Mother Dragon, it was necessary both emotionally and logically to go ho and recognize her ancestry, at least know her ho's location, lest she doesn't even know where her family door is.
However, even Dorothy felt a bit anxious about going ho, experiencing the closer to ho the more fearful feeling.
As soone with social anxiety, the thought of suddenly having a large group of relatives she's not very familiar with made her a bit scared and nervous, leaving her still indecisive about whether to really go back.
But now Senior Mia's matter had relieved her of the hesitation, so she'll go back on the way to take a look, and ask Mother Superior if she has any good advice face to face.
[Sophia: Okay, then I'll accompany you back later.]
Regarding her lady's decision, Sophia didn't rush, for whatever the lady wanted to do, she would silently support it.
However...
[Sophia: If possible, lady, try to be as high-profile as you can when going back. In the Dragon Kingdom, stealthy returns aren't popular at night; the higher your profile, the less trouble you'll face, and you should also consider the teacher's face.]
The Pure White Witch advised.
Most Dragon Witches are straightforward by nature and don't care for politeness or low-profile. Each one of them wishes to write "Three Kings above, I'm the fourth" on their faces; in the Dragon Kingdom, pretending to be weak indeed leads to being bullied.
Sophia thought of her lady's overly modest temperant and reminded her earlier. Although the lady truly has the heart of the Evil Dragon under her ek guise, there's no worry about her being wronged, but minimizing trouble is always best.
Dorothy: "......"
Oh, is that really the case?
The hobody witch awkwardly scratched her head. In her plan, this hocoming was ant to be low-profile since she's just recognizing her kin and not looking to beco the heir of the Yengade Family, so the quieter the better.
But with Sophia's reminder, she realized she indeed didn't understand the customs of the Dragon Kingdom.
However, it's understandable. The matter of Mother Dragon losing her child is likely not a secret in the Dragon Kingdom, and perhaps has led to much ridicule and grievance these years. Now, if she returns, she naturally needs to make a show to save face for Mother Superior.
Alright, though being too ostentatious goes against her style, it's okay to be high-profile once in a while for Mother Superior's sake. Anyway, the popularity she accumulated in Night City is still there, and just by standing at the entrance of the Dragon Kingdom as the lady, she'd already draw enough attention.
Well, since the lady's status can't be kept low-key anymore, she might as well not pretend anymore. She laid it out: she indeed is the lady.
[Witch of the Forest: Mm-hmm, got it, but what do you think would happen if I return with the identity of the Witch of the Forest?]
Dorothy thought as she stroked her chin.
Hmm, for Mother Dragon to save face, directly revealing this major identity seems more convincing. At that ti, it wouldn't just be a matter of exploding popularity; it would be world-renowned.
Of course, she was just teasing, she isn't truly daring enough to flaunt the major identity.
anwhile, on the other side, the Pure White Witch was montarily stunned.
[Sophia: Angel sighing.jpg]
[Sophia: If that were the case, then congratulations to you, lady, for saying goodbye to freedom. Whether you want it or not, you'd be definitely the heir of the Yengade Family, and Senior Mia's matters wouldn't be an issue. You'd directly beco the son-in-law of the Golden Country, and with the two families united, you'd be the Uncrowned King of the Dragon Kingdom, smoothly walking the path to the pinnacle of life. How is it, isn't the thought a bit exciting?]
Dorothy: "..."
Looking at her housekeeper's sarcastic response, the hobody witch shrunk her head.
Sure enough, forget it. That Long Aotian developnt, though appearing delightful, is actually all pitfalls. Just thinking about being treated as a treasure, fought over by the entire Dragon Kingdom, coveted by various ambitious scheming individuals, forced into incessant plotting against each other, already gave her a headache.
If it really cos to that, she'd rather choose the basent of Good Sister's house, directly sister, feed and live a simple life forever.
[Witch of the Forest: Alright, I'll arrange things here, see you at the Dragon Kingdom tomorrow.]
[Sophia: Sure]
Putting away the Spellbook, Dorothy ended the conversation with the Pure White Witch and raised her head again, looking at the two wives in front of her, who were still wary of her but also curious.
Her fluctuating expressions certainly couldn't be hidden from these two Peak Witches adept in reading people's expressions.
"What's wrong, Dorothy, you didn't look well just now."
Mada Nine-tailed Eliza asked with so concern.
In response, Dorothy felt a bit ashad.
