Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

One night, Lewinsky's grandfather buried one of the survivors and his old friend. He got drunk and went home, hugged Lewinsky and cried, loudly cursing that the people of Radeboyle had ruined their lives.

Before passing out, Lewinsky's grandfather left a message for his grandson.

Child.

When you grow up.

Kill them all.

59 The Devil Sleeps in the Heart of the Young Man

Lewinsky grew up under the influence of her grandfather and other survivors of the Velden Massacre.

At that time, although the Kingdom of Grossenhain had an aversion to the Radbeul people, it did not completely prohibit exchanges between the people of the two countries, and some Radbeul people still entered the Kingdom of Grossenhain.

Once upon a time, a homeless child came to the village. At first, Lewinsky didn't pay much attention to him, but the talk of the villagers attracted Lewinsky.

The villagers said that the street boy had a distinct Radeboye accent and must be from Radeboye.

Soon, the homeless child disappeared.

Lewinsky's grandfather found his grandson holding a dagger, standing next to the lifeless homeless child, with an extremely cold expression.

This was the first time in Lewinsky's life that she took someone else's life with her own hands.

Lewinsky's grandfather was very excited. He did not think that Lewinsky was rebellious. He knew that this street kid was from Radeboy. Lewinsky's grandfather hugged Lewinsky tightly and told him -

Well done my child.

Therefore, this is definitely not Lewinsky's last time.

Lewinsky's grandfather not only did not blame him, but helped Lewinsky hide the body and evade the guards' pursuit. Since the missing person was just an outsider street kid, the guards closed the case after a hasty investigation.

Lewinsky was only ten years old that year.

Lewinsky's grandfather probably never dreamed that Lewinsky was by no means an ordinary person, but a true genius, especially in eloquence and action.

After Lewinsky's grandfather passed away, Lewinsky left the village and came to the capital to join the Royal Guard. Her colleagues in the Royal Guard described Lewinsky as an ambitious young man who was very active in everything he did, and no one noticed the monster hidden in Lewinsky's heart.

Lewinsky was determined to change the country and took action. He accumulated a large number of followers by relying on his popularity in the Guards. When Lewinsky had a loyal group of followers, his eloquence was truly reflected.

Compared with Lewinsky's oratory ability, the diplomats of the Kingdom of Grossenhain were as naive as babbling children. The background of the Velden tragedy provided Lewinsky with the soil to fully display his power. In a nutshell, Lewinsky's strategy was to transfer all conflicts to the people of Radebeul.

Why is your family not rich? Because you don't work? Because you don't pay attention to saving money?

No, that's not right, it's the Radeboye people's fault.

Why are you hungry? Because no one is taking you in? Because you are not doing your job well?

No, that's not right, it's the Radeboye people's fault.

Why can't your child go to school?

Why can't your family's illness be relieved?

Why is your farmland not producing as expected?

—It is the fault of the people of Radebeul.

The strength of Lewinsky's eloquence was that he could convince every Grossenhain that the lack of bread and porridge on their tables was the fault of the people of Radebeul.

Instead of looking for his own reasons or blaming the nobles for their oppression, he directed all his resentment onto the people of Radeboyle.

Most of these were accusations with no causal connection, but Lewinsky was able to connect the two and make people believe them.

Everyone firmly believed that life would be better without the Radboys, and that we were only happy now because there were still Radboys in the world.

By the time King Groshenhain realized the change in the wind in the capital, it was already too late. The guards led by Lewinsky responded to the call and easily placed the king under house arrest, and ordered the king to abdicate the throne to Lewinsky, the person who could lead the people of Groshenhain to happiness.

After Lewinsky became king, he began distributing pamphlets and holding parades and speeches. The flames of hatred against the Radbeuls spread from the capital of Grossenhain and spread throughout Grossenhain like a prairie fire.

It was not simply Lewinsky's eloquence that prompted all this. Famous battles such as the Fielden massacre created the stage for Lewinsky to take advantage of the situation.

And Angelica finally understood why the Kingdom of Grosenhain had evolved into its current situation.

According to the terms of the deal, Angelica's exploration of Lewinsky's dreams was merely out of her personal interest.

After knowing the answer, Angelica kept silent and saved a lot of unnecessary trouble. Angelica and Abigail stayed in Grossenhain peacefully for a while, until the fifth day, when Lewinsky's subordinates cooperated with Angelica's investigation and finally got the result.

"Huh? You mean they went to Walsrode?"

Angelica's subtle reaction aroused Abigail's curiosity.

"What's wrong? Sister Angelica?"

Angelica had a complicated expression and did not give a reply. Lewinsky's subordinates obviously did not have the ability to read people's expressions well, so they gave the answer without thinking.

"Wallsrode is famous for the St. Barbara Girls' Academy, which is a place that trains socialites in the country."

Strictly speaking, what Lewinsky's subordinates said was inaccurate. Although Walsrode was the location of the Santa Barbara Conservatory, the Santa Barbara Conservatory was actually much more famous than Walsrode.

Abigail, who came from a rural background, had heard a little about the St. Barbara Girls' Academy, but was not quite sure it was located in Walsrode, just like Angelica first knew Jerusalem in Area 3D and then knew where she came from.

"I don't feel like going..."

"We believe that the probability of the hero of the art settling in Walsrod is very high. I wish you smooth sailing in your research."

Lewinsky's subordinates, who lacked foresight, withdrew. In any case, at least they had obtained information about the descendants of the "Art" Hero. The contemporary "Art" Hero was most likely to appear in Walsrod.

Now that she had the key information, Angelica no longer needed to stay in the Kingdom of Grosenhain. She and Abigail came to the palace hall to bid farewell to King Lewinsky. At the same time, Angelica fulfilled her promise and presented the Sequence 1 magic ritual scroll to King Lewinsky.

"Yes. Your gift will be remembered by the kingdom, scholar."

"Thank you for your compliments, His Majesty. Before I leave, I have a question that I hope Your Majesty can answer."

"Your requests are annoying, but I allow you to ask questions."

"Your Majesty... seems like you have never communicated with the Radboy people?"

Angelica had seen Lewinsky's memories, from the time he attacked the homeless children of the Radeboyle people in their sleep, to his later joining the Guards, the conflict with the Radeboyle people and even a scar on his face. Incredibly, Lewinsky had never had any communication with the Radeboyle people.

It was impossible for Angelica to go through Lewinsky's memory in detail, so she raised her doubts to Lewinsky and sought answers before leaving.

"Indeed. I never exchanged a word with the Radeboys."

Lewinsky admitted the facts in a cold tone.

“But I hate them to the core.”

Angelica smells faintly of violets.

This is the appraisal from the unnamed "Bai".

60 Miss Witch and the Dust of History

After leaving the Kingdom of Grosenhain, Angelica talked about something while walking on the road.

"Sister Angelica said... there are no more Grosenhain people?"

Abigail was in a mess, they had just come out of the Kingdom of Grosenhain.

"To be precise, there are no pure Groshenhain people. Abigail, do you remember the information about the Groshenhain people you saw in the Kingdom of Radeboyle?"

"The information I read in the Kingdom of Radeboyle...ah."

Abigail suddenly remembered something.

"Curly hair! The Radbeuls say that all Grossenhain people have curly hair!"

The documents of the Kingdom of Radebeul also slandered the Grossenhain people, even saying that the curly hair of the Grossenhain people was proof that they had sold their souls to the devil.

However, Abigail, who had spent some time in Grossenhain herself, discovered that the people of Grossenhain did not have curly hair.

"Could it be like Felden..."

The Kingdom of Radebeul's record of the Battle of Verden did not contain much critical content, and Abigail thought that this was again due to the difference in perspective between the two kingdoms.

But Angelica denied it flatly.

"No, the Grosenhain people do have curly hair. The Radboy people did not record this incorrectly. That was a feature from four hundred years ago, or even earlier. Does Abigail know about half-elves?"

"I heard that it is the offspring of humans and elves?"

"Yes, half-elves inherit the beauty and pointed ears of elves, but their ears are not as long as those of elves, and their affinity with nature is not as good as that of pure-blooded elves. The offspring of two different races will inherit some characteristics of both parents' races. This factor is called heredity. There are some special features between the same races. Characteristics such as skin color will not be erased with inheritance from generation to generation, but some other characteristics will change."

The Grossenhain people were originally a nomadic people on horseback. After settling down, the times have changed and the current Grossenhain people have lost their nomadic customs.

"Four hundred years ago, the Radebeul Kingdom was torn apart by civil war, and the Grossenhain people took advantage of the chaos and moved south to occupy the Radebeul land. The Grossenhain people did not have the custom of monogamy, and a large number of Radebeul women were abducted to become their concubines. Over a long period of time, there have been more and more mixed-race children between the Grossenhain people and the Radebeul people. Although Grossenhain later absorbed feudal culture and became monogamous, the proportion of mixed-race children has become the majority."

Most of these mixed-race children identified themselves as Grossenhain people of their father's lineage, and the Grossenhain people did not regard them as outsiders. Moreover, in those days, Grossenhain men could not pursue women from their own tribe, and they could not be single for the rest of their lives, so they would choose to rob and forcefully marry women from Radebeul.

"The number of Grossenhain people is not large. If they had an advantage in numbers, they would not have been able to get a share of the spoils during the Radbeul civil war. In short, over time, the Grossenhain people's iconic curly hair has become increasingly rare as their bloodlines have been mixed from generation to generation."

"Wait a minute, according to what Angelica's sister said, the current Grosenhain Kingdom——"

“That’s it.”

Angelica shrugged.

"In the current Grossenhain Kingdom, there are no pure-blooded Grossenhain people anymore. Every Grossenhain person's ancestors have the blood of the Radboy people."

"L-King Lewinsky…?"

"Including him, of course. Lewinsky also has Radeboyne in her ancestry."

Angelica occasionally wondered, if Manuel had really completed the unification and the kingdom had not continued to split, in that world, would the people of Radebeul and Grossenhain be as close as one family hundreds of years later? Or would the characteristics of the Grossenhain people become less and less with the continuous intermarriage, and finally all of them would identify as Radebeul people?

Unfortunately, there is no if, and the reality is that the contradictions between the two countries are difficult to reconcile.

"But King Lewinsky hates the Radboys and wants to wage war against them... Sister Angelica, is there any way we can stop him?"

"That's impossible. Even if Lewinsky knew, he would still continue on that path. Abigail, this is the most important lesson I want to teach you. Don't think that magic can do everything. A beautiful witch as powerful as me..."

Abigail felt that it was unnecessary to emphasize that she was a beautiful girl in this passage, but for Abigail, it was more of a loss. Even a powerful magician like Angelica couldn't...

"It is possible to prevent a conflict between the armies of two countries. I am a genius."

“So, it can be done!”

"But, there's no point."

Angelica said with a bright smile.

"A witch can kill a person and stop a conflict between two powerful armies, but she cannot change history that has already happened."

"what……"

"I can definitely assassinate Lewinsky and eliminate the root cause of Grossenhain's madness. But the Battle of Verden sixty years ago was the soil for Lewinsky to implement his policies in Grossenhain. Even if I eliminate Lewinsky, the result of the Battle of Verden is still coldly laid out before them."

Angelica did not deny that Lewinsky's eloquence was closely related to his rise to power. Without Lewinsky, the Kingdom of Grossenhain might not have gone to extremes.

"It's the same with the Kingdom of Radeboyle. I can temporarily delay their army. But the people of Radeboyle identify with the land occupied by the people of Grossenhain because of Radeboyle's thousands of years of history. As long as they look back to the unified Radeboyle in history, they will continue to attack Grossenhain."

The witch can stop the Radeboy army once.

However, the witch could not change the long-standing foundation of Radboyle.

"Even witches can't change history, Abigail."

...This is a later story.

The fifteenth day after the witch left.

A strange light erupted in the sky above the old site of Verden, the border between the two kingdoms, and then heavy rain fell, hindering any military action.

Some people claimed that the kings of the two countries had obtained the magic scrolls of Sequence One. However, when the two magic scrolls of Sequence One were used against each other, a neutralization reaction with no magical aftermath was produced, which only caused a long-lasting heavy rain. Although some people suspected that this kind of movement was not the result of a collision of magic of Sequence One, the origin of this heavy rain and strange light was still unknown.

The thirty-second day since the witch left.

The heavy rain stopped and the army was able to pass.

War broke out.

Radebeul recorded it as the fifth recovery of lost territory.

Grossenhain records it as: the fifth invasion of the Radebeuls.

Other national records from the spectator's perspective are: The Fifth Radebeul-Grosenhain War.
