After deciding on their goals, the witches concluded their lessons for the day and each returned to their busy lives.
Alice did not leave, but stayed in the church, as the two had once again beco stepsisters with different fathers and mothers.
As Dorothy walked out of the church, she imdiately saw Father Adam and the loli Vampire Queen Lilith returning together from outside.
She first glanced at Lilith, who looked exactly like her stepmother from her mories. Dorothy noticed that the vampire queen, though physically petite, radiated the aura of a queen. She was glowing with happiness, intimately holding Adam's hand, her eyes filled with fulfilled dreams.
Looking at Adam...
emmmm... Well, the once tall and handso priest now seed sowhat lethargic as he walked, likely suffering from the aftereffects of losing his strength earlier.
Yeah, that must be it.
"Welco back, Father, and Mother Superior."
Since she was anticipating a favor from them, the Hobody Witch greeted the two parents at the door with an especially sweet voice, acting very dutifully.
At this point, calling them "father" and "mother" did not stress her out anymore; after all, when it was just Adam before, she had wondered if it were rely a coincidence. But now, with the appearance of Lilith, she was pretty certain her birth was shrouded in mystery.
Father Adam and the Vampire Queen Lilith, for sure, had so ties with the future Mage Adam and the Vampire Sorceress Annie.
Especially since Dorothy had already confird this with Alice to be safe.
The first two parts of the little witch's True Na are "Alice Lilith," not "Alice Annie," which is peculiar and doesn't conform to the normal naming convention of the witches,
to which the little witch replied, "Mother Superior is indeed nad Lilith. It's her formal na, but she seems not to like it much, hence she chose the na Annie for herself."
So, you're telling all these are just coincidences?
Well, others might believe it, but Dorothy definitely didn't; she sensed a deliberate orchestration.
Although the thought of having her origin orchestrated was chilling, Dorothy wasn't much bothered by it.
After all, there wasn't much she could do to change it.
Indeed, reincarnation is a real concept in the Witch World, an inherent feature of the Underworld System. However, even the Undead Witches who manage the Underworld System do not have the authority to interfere with its operations arbitrarily.
That highest level of control is only held by The Third King and the consciousness of the world.
Well, there are only four suspects, which should make it easy to identify who is most suspicious, and naturally, it has to be her dearest sister—the Divine Queen Denisha.
Sotis Dorothy really wondered whether this was her first ti crossing over, or whether this was actually her second round.
Her first round might have actually involved being the childhood sweetheart of the Divine King but died unexpectedly. Thus, after the Divine King ascended, he used his supre power to orchestrate her reincarnation, allowing her family to be together again.
Yeah, that's very likely, but Dorothy had no evidence and certainly didn't have the courage to confront her beloved sister face-to-face.
In any case, it was best not to dwell on things beyond one's control, for what does it matter if soone else arranged her origin? After all, this family was undeniably real.
Adam, Annie, Alice, and Mother Dragon Euphilia—these four family mbers genuinely loved her, and it wasn't a show like in Truman's world.
Of this, Dorothy was certain.
So why fret about it?
One cannot simply disown their family because their parents were not a product of a love story but were matched by their own parents hoping for their birth.
Ultimately, just go with the flow, especially since she hadn't felt any malice towards her yet. What else could she do if not let things take their course? It's not like she could defy fate, could she?
The Hobody Witch's thoughts spun hundreds of turns in her mind, while outside, Adam and Lilith had no idea what the little nun was contemplating.
Father simply looked at his exceptionally well-behaved daughter today, feeling quite uneasy, as Dorothy rarely called him "father." Sothing felt off, as if the mischievous child was up to sothing again.
And seeing Lilith, who was holding his hand, turning to look at him with a suddenly kind smile,
"You are really a fine child, so unlike your disagreeable mother."
The Vampire Queen was very pleased with the Hobody Witch calling her "Mother Superior." This stepdaughter, initially not so favorable in her eyes, had suddenly beco quite appealing.
"Co on, what cunning sche are you brewing now? Do tell."
Of course, as the Deputy City Lord of the City of Sin, Lilith wouldn't be easily fooled by just a flattery; she saw right through her stepdaughter's intentions.
But being straightforward by nature and not fond of beating around the bush, she simply laid it out.
If the matter wasn't too troubleso, she didn't mind offering help, especially since that heartfelt "Mother Superior" really ward her heart, putting her in a very good mood.
