"Isn't it said that wild beasts are restless?"
On the plains of Gunma, when Kuro arrived, the previously ferocious beasts now obediently lowered their heads to graze. He pointed to this scene of "the wind blowing the grass low to reveal cattle and sheep" and looked at Fanny beside him.
In the end, Old K couldn't persuade Kuro otherwise and could only let them go in grief and anger to rescue his fiancée.
Fanny followed, wanting to go back and check her bottles and jars; the earlier tremor had knocked over quite a few things.
Along the way, Lida managed to get all the details from Fanny.
This woman wasn't actually a 'witch'. It's just that in the local area, women who could make herbs were considered 'witches' and were not allowed to practice medicine in the country. This was a tradition of the Twin Horse Kingdom.
However, other measures are not as strict, because this is not a legal requirement, but rather a long-standing habit. If you encounter someone who is truly desperate, they can still be treated.
Aside from that, Fanny doesn't have any other witch's 'traditional skills,' like transformation or curses; she's definitely not one of them.
She's a woman who knows how to make herbal remedies.
"Eh? You're asking me why I'm staying here as a witch and not going out to sea to see the world? Well... how should I put it? I feel like my abilities aren't good enough yet. Even the people in my own country can't accept me. If I rashly go out and kill someone, I'll feel really guilty. I'll wait until my abilities are a bit higher before considering it."
That was Fanny's answer.
This also lets everyone know that witches and such do not exist.
Kro was somewhat disappointed by this...
At this moment, in response to Kuro's question, Fanny walked towards a bighorn sheep. The bighorn sheep was not alarmed when it saw people, it raised its head and bleated, then continued to graze.
"I see, I see. You guys didn't know either."
Fanny patted the bighorn sheep on the head and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I'll heal you."
"You can understand animal speech?" Kuro asked, somewhat curious.
No, I don't understand.
Fanny shook her head: "But I've been here for a long time, and these animals are familiar with me. Some animals will automatically run to me when they are injured. Over time, I've come to understand what they mean."
“These animals actually know that they are sometimes restless, and they are also pitiful, but they can’t control themselves.”
"Is that so...?"
Kuro glanced at the animals and nodded slightly. "Good luck."
"Mr. Kuro, that Guardian Ape isn't here. Its trail is in that direction..."
Kro pointed in a direction and said.
"Oh...no rush, let's get them out first." Kuro nodded and said.
The group headed to the cave and soon arrived at a secret chamber inside the tunnel.
Inside the secret chamber, a woman in black robes sat alone, her face somewhat blank.
“Catherine!” Fanny called out.
"Fanny!"
The bewildered woman turned her head and saw Fanny. Her expression brightened, and she stood up, revealing her full appearance.
Indeed, as Donald said, her figure... well, rather plump.
Her face was like a steamed bun, her eyes were like the pleats on that bun, narrowed into slits, her nose was like a garlic clove, the kind that wasn't fully grown, and her mouth was like a blood basin, so big that Kuro had the illusion that if she opened her mouth, she could eat even more than Lida.
As the man ran, the rolling of his flesh caused a noticeable tremor in the secret chamber.
"Fanny, thank goodness, you're alright!" Catherine grabbed Fanny's shoulders and shook her. "I was so worried! I thought you'd been captured by the thieves too!"
The word 'also' was used very cleverly, at least confirming one thing for Kuro: she had personally witnessed her maid being captured by thieves. As for why she let her go...
Yes, I understand.
"No, stop shaking me, I'm dizzy..."
Fanny was so dizzy from Catherine's dazzling that she quickly grabbed her hand to stop her, and said, "I'm fine. They're not thieves, they're from the navy. They were actually sent by the king to rescue you, but they arrested the wrong person. It's all a misunderstanding."
"navy?"
Upon hearing this, Catherine looked over and exclaimed, "Oh, it's the navy! I was too flustered to see clearly just now. Oh, I see. His Majesty the King sent you to rescue me, right? So you've seen the King too?"
She asked expectantly, "Was that king handsome? Was he very muscular and manly?"
Is now the time to be agonizing over this issue?
Aren't you worried about your own maid?
We are the navy, a force of justice.
Kuro clicked his tongue, "They really are a family..."
"What's the meaning?"
Catherine looked at Kuro.
"No, it's nothing, I just think you two are a good match." Kuro raised his head, avoiding looking at the woman.
"Very manly!"
At this moment, Donald stepped forward and said, "Very manly, don't worry, Miss Catherine!"
"puff!"
Lida turned her head away at these words, almost bursting out laughing.
Doesn't that show masculinity?
A woman like that, unless they've been through a lot together, and they marry each other on their first meeting, would indeed be very masculine.
"What are you laughing at?" Catherine asked suspiciously.
"Huh? Me? I just remembered something happy." Lida looked up and gave a perfunctory answer.
"Oh? Are you happy that you rescued me? Well, I am the daughter of a wealthy merchant, and I am also very beautiful. The king sent you to rescue me, and you have completed your mission. You should be happy." Catherine nodded and said seriously.
Doesn't this woman... realize her own limitations?
Lida pursed her lips, instantly losing her smile. She looked at Fanny, her eyes seeming to say, 'Is this what you call gentleness and kindness?'
"By the way, you haven't answered my question yet. He may have masculinity, but is he handsome? Does he have muscles?"
Catherine continued asking.
This time, no one replied to her.
“Fanny, what do you say?” Catherine asked Fanny.
"ah?"
Fanny paused, her expression turning strange: "He must be...very handsome."
If it were when they were young.
She silently added a sentence in her mind.
"What do you mean 'should'? Fanny, your taste is just terrible. Although you're not as good-looking as me, you need to improve your taste. You're my friend, Lady Catherine's friend. But don't worry, with me here, I'll definitely raise your taste to the same level as mine."
Catherine said, "At first, I was a little unhappy about the idea of a marriage alliance with royalty. Ordinary royalty are not good enough for me, after all, I'm so beautiful, and many handsome men used to pursue me. But if it's a king, then I can be a match. However, if the king isn't good-looking, then he's not good enough for me."
Are all those handsome guys chasing after you really just after your looks?
Does this person really have no self-awareness?
