Have you ever been a witch? Take this fireball!

Chapter 169 Elor, comforted

"I'm back." Elor pushed open the door and entered.

She saw Dorothy's body stiffen, still in the outstretched position, tilt her head strangely, and then look at the suitcase on the ground.

"Suitcase? Whose is it?"

"————" Dorothy swallowed nervously in response to Elor's question.

"Huh?" Elor didn't understand why Dorothy wasn't answering him.

Dorothy slowly withdrew her arm.

"Ahem, it's His Highness Raffi."

"Laffey? She was just here?" Elor was puzzled for a moment, but then immediately understood why Laffey would come here.

"Oh~ I was wondering why I saw so many knights outside. She must be here to escort those mages back to the royal city." Elor shook her head and walked wearily toward her room.

"I'm sorry, Dorothy, could you please make dinner tonight? I'm a little tired."

"You should rest first. I'll call you when dinner is ready." Dorothy felt a pang of sympathy looking at Elor's current state.

She felt somewhat guilty for not being able to help when the City of Apprentices was attacked.

I've been trying my best to do something for the City of Apprentices lately.

Dorothy thought this was completely unnecessary.

Elor was just an ordinary person. Although he had the status of a nobleman, he was no different from anyone else when facing a mage.

Like Dorothy, even though she has a powerful cheat ability, she still considers herself an ordinary person.

She tends to back down when faced with problems.

Not long after Elor returned, Anna also returned.

She immediately noticed the suitcase in the living room.

Dorothy then explained further.

"That belongs to Princess Raffi."

Anna simply nodded, seemingly not paying much attention.

When dinner was ready, Anna arrived at the kitchen door just in time and helped Dorothy put the food on the table, while Dorothy went to Elor's room.

She didn't knock, but quietly entered the dimly lit room.

The only light in the room came from the alchemical lamp shining in through the window.

Elor closed her eyes, her breathing even, her chest rising and falling slightly.

Dorothy tiptoed to the bedside.

"Elor—" she called softly.

Elor did not react.

Dorothy suddenly felt an urge to play a prank.

Without hesitation, she gently touched the tip of Elor's nose with her finger and slowly pushed it upwards.

"Little pig—pfft!"

Elor seemed uncomfortable and frowned, so Dorothy quickly withdrew her hand.

Seeing that Elor was still unconscious, Dorothy reached out and pinched Elor's cheeks, pulling them apart.

However, at this moment, in the dimly lit room, a pair of bright eyes were meeting Dorothy's gaze.

Elor woke up.

"Uh—you're awake?" Dorothy asked, a little embarrassed.

After all, her prank had been discovered, so she pretended to be calm and tried to pull her hands back.

Snapped!

But Elor was quick and grabbed Dorothy's wrist as she was pulling it back.

"Aren't you going to continue?" Elor asked gently.

Dorothy quickly shook her head.

"No, no."

She hadn't expected Elor to be such a light sleeper.

"Sigh." Elor sighed.

She only fell asleep because she was tired recently; it doesn't mean she was completely unaware of the outside world.

She had already woken up when Dorothy nudged her nose, but she wasn't fully awake yet, so she didn't open her eyes.

I never expected Dorothy to push her luck.

Looking at Dorothy, who was grinning foolishly, Elor's previously heavy mood immediately lightened considerably.

"I'm going to repay you for what you just did to me!" With that, Elor grabbed Dorothy's cheeks.

The skin was smooth and soft to the touch, which made Elor subconsciously rub her fingers together.

"Take this!"

Elor pulled Dorothy's little face back and forth.

Dorothy's little mouth opened and closed, and she raised her hands in surrender.

"I surrender! I surrender! I know I was wrong!"

However, Dorothy's pleas for mercy had no effect; instead, Elor began to rub Dorothy's face.

Dorothy did not resist and let Elor vent his anger for a while.

After Elor stopped, she sat on the bed, breathing heavily.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Dorothy, seeing that Elor had vented enough, then asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"

These words made Elor stop panting and slowly look up at Dorothy.

When Elor saw Dorothy's slightly flushed face, he was stunned.

"You did this for me?" Elor asked in surprise.

Dorothy simply tilted her head and smiled. "Hmm? What are you talking about?"

Elor lowered his head in silence, then suddenly hugged Dorothy tightly.

Dorothy patted Elor on the back with both hands.

"If you're feeling better, go down for dinner, otherwise the food will get cold."

"Hmm—" Elor mumbled a muffled "hmm."

living room.

Anna looked up as Dorothy and Elor walked down hand in hand.

At this moment, Elor's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just been crying.

The two arrived at the dining table, and Dorothy pulled out a chair for Elor to sit down.

"Thank you," Elor whispered.

At this moment, she truly felt like a child being cared for by Dorothy.

The feeling of being taken care of by someone younger than herself was wonderful, and it even gave Elor a strange sense of dependence.

She knew perfectly well that it was wrong, but she still couldn't help but succumb to it.

In particular, Elor has been suffering various setbacks recently.

Just then, Dorothy suddenly walked in, and she felt as if a soft spot in her heart had been touched.

Elor felt that she might not be able to live without Dorothy.

Boom boom boom!

Just as the three began to enjoy their dinner, a knock came at the door.

"Who is it?" Rosie asked, somewhat annoyed. She hated being disturbed while eating.

However, once the door opened and she saw the person outside, Dorothy's displeasure vanished instantly.

Lafite is back.

Raffi looked exhausted, as if he had encountered something troubling him.

Dorothy, seeing her expression, understood that Gareth hadn't betrayed her.

Just as Dorothy had anticipated, when Raffi questioned Gareth about the mysterious sorcerer, the man was completely clueless.

Raffi received no useful information about the mysterious magician from Gareth; he had to find out for himself.

At the end of the day, it was fair to say that nothing was accomplished.

This made Raffi feel somewhat exhausted.

This made it impossible for Raffi to determine whether the mysterious magician was friend or foe.

What is the other party's attitude towards the Kingdom of Radiance? And are they still within the kingdom's territory?

Furthermore, if the other party cannot be found, should some special methods be used? But would that anger the other party?

Lafite had to consider all sorts of things as much as possible.

Moreover, if he doesn't act quickly, others from the capital will soon arrive to continue the investigation.

Raffi was also worried about the way those people did things, which made her even more exhausted.

However, Raffi didn't want to reveal these thoughts to Dorothy and the others. She looked at the three who were preparing to eat dinner and said with a smile, "Hmm? Such delicious food, Miss Dorothy, are you not going to invite me to dinner?"
