After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

This is why Heidi saw those disgusting scenes on the road when she was looking for help.

So, she vowed, this had to change.

There will be no more compromise or concession, she will directly face the pressure from the nobles.

Therefore, she concealed her father's actions and sat in this position despite feeling disgusted.

Upon hearing this, Aize shook his head slightly:

"This road is not easy to walk. The worst result may be worse than your previous life."

This choice means hell mode.

If she is not careful, the young queen will die without a burial place.

Aize has emphasized this point countless times in the past few days.

And Heidi's answer is always the same:

"It's okay, I'm not afraid, because this is... something I have to do."

There is another reason that cannot be said, and that is for Aize's sake.

What Aize pursues is to establish a force independent of the existing nobility and the church, and while dealing with various events, gradually find out the truth he wants to know.

For this reason, he would of course be suppressed by the nobles.

Heidi's action will inevitably divert a lot of the former's energy, thereby helping Aize.

This is one of the reasons why she chose this path.

In the past, Aize helped her deal with the nobles.

Now, it's Heidi's turn to help Eze.

For Heidi, such actions are far from being atonement, but... they are also one of the few valuable things she can do for Aize.

Ai Ze put his hands on his hips, looked at the short princess in front of him, and nodded:

"...Forget it, since you chose this path yourself, I don't have much to say. It's time for us to leave. You should go back quickly too."

Manpower is extremely tight in the capital right now, and every minute of such a large farewell procession is wasted, delaying the progress of the precious reconstruction work.

After saying that, Aize turned around and prepared to get on the carriage.

"Aize!"

But he was stopped again.

"Hmm? Anything else?"

"Uh... no, it's... well, take care."

Heidi forced a smile, which looked quite unnatural.

Aize blinked slightly in confusion, but didn't say much. He just smiled and nodded.

"Ah, you too."

After saying that, he got on the carriage and closed the door.

A team of several dozen people, not too large or too small, immediately set out and headed towards Tafia in the direction they came from.

Heidi just stood there without saying a word.

Until the figures of Aize and his team gradually became blurred and finally disappeared completely at the end of the horizon.

When I came to my senses, tears were already flowing silently.

The moment he realized this, he couldn't help but panic and hurriedly took out his handkerchief to wipe it off.

"Really? It's already this late, and I'm still like this—this is really inappropriate. If he sees me... hehe, he'll definitely laugh at me..."

"Your Highness..."

Elena, who was standing nearby and witnessed everything, looked very worried.

But the helpless process led to a helpless result, and coupled with her master's firm determination, it was really inconvenient for her as a subordinate to say anything.

"Let's go, it's over. Now that they're gone, we have our own work to do!"

Patting her cheeks, Heidi tried hard to force a smile.

----------

The carriage moved slowly on the flat road.

"Uh... um~"

As they gradually moved away from the royal capital, the figures of the farewell team disappeared below the horizon. Aize let out a light breath and then stretched his body.

Villian, who was sitting opposite him, asked:

"What? Tired?"

"Um, yeah, tired."

From the horrific hell that tortures the spirit, to the enemies that are extremely powerful beyond imagination, to the various power struggles and intrigues that re-emerge after the end of the blood plague.

I always feel that in just one month, I seem to have relived all my experiences over the past two years.

Naturally, I am extremely tired.

But there is not much positive feedback.

Compared to the clean and tidy ending of the last Tafia incident, this time there are still many mysteries left, some of which are even terrifying when you think about them carefully.

Ancient heritage, reincarnation rituals, and a team of elusive braves, etc.

These things made it impossible for him to feel happy frankly.

More of a worry.

As if she had noticed his thoughts, Villian smiled lightly, then stood up, pushed Aize aside, and sat down next to him.

Then, he patted his thigh.

"Come here and lie down."

Aize subconsciously moved aside slightly:

"……What's wrong?"

"Lie down, I have something to tell you."

"Uh, can't we just sit down and talk?"

"..."

"Okay, okay, I'll lie down, I'll lie down..."

Seeing that Miss Witch suddenly stopped talking and the smile on her face became more and more oppressive, Aize felt a chill on his back and could only do as he was told.

It’s just a knee pillow. It’s happened so many times, there’s nothing to be shy about.

Lying down, Aize's face touched Villian's thigh again.

Because witches have lower body temperatures than humans, they feel a little cold.

But being surrounded by the familiar faint fragrance and warmth did calm Aize's mood a little.

Then he asked:

"So, what's going on?"

"Well, well..."

With a wave of her hand, Villian summoned the entrance to the storage space, took out an exquisite notebook from it, and waved it in front of Aize.

"Over the past few days, I've been communicating with the people from the Kingdom Magic Association and have made some changes to the teaching materials I originally planned. This will make them more suitable for humans and hybrids to learn."

Before arriving in the royal capital, Aize was busy establishing a military and magic academy in Tafia in order to provide the necessary personnel and combat power for the expanding army.

The magic part naturally falls to Villian.

However, the huge difference in talents between witches and humans will bring a lot of trouble to this matter.

This has been a headache and progress has been quite slow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, when the Magic Association owed her a big favor, she pushed forward the progress.

"Once we get back to Tafia and everyone is present, we can start immediately."

Looking at the notebook in front of him, Aize blinked:

"Have you been busy with this these days?"

"correct."

"No, no, no, what's right? It's not right! I finally made it to the capital, and you're busy with this. What about your past?"

Villian is not a real witch, but a completely manufactured tool.

The only memory of the past is the noble mansion in Tafea.

Therefore, it is reasonable to infer that her past should have some connection with the kingdom's aristocratic circle.

So he asked her to do more investigation while she was still in the royal capital to see if she could find out anything.

For this purpose, I even greeted Heidi specifically, hoping that she could provide some convenience.

Unexpectedly, she used this opportunity in other places.

Miss Witch seemed to be indifferent to this.

He even put his hands hard on Aize's head, rubbing his head randomly, messing up his hairstyle.

"It doesn't matter what. Even if we know, what's the use? Quickly build that magic academy you've been dreaming of. That's what's most important."

What Aize is worried about at the moment is not so much the specific problems, but more the uncertainty.

Not knowing what you are facing or how things will develop will make you feel uneasy.

What Violet did was to create certainty.

Implement the plan as quickly as possible, strengthen the strength as quickly as possible, and ensure that no matter what happens in the future, Aize will have enough cards in his hand to deal with it.

This is to offset Aize's anxiety.

In order to achieve this goal, she was willing to abandon things that she cared about very much.

Realizing this, Aize was speechless for a moment.

And Villian's narration continued:

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"Um?"

"I asked Miss Charlotte about this. Since I left, the witch clan seems to have fallen into chaos, and the new Great Witch has not been chosen yet."

In the battle on Anlin Plain, the witches' elite were almost completely wiped out.

In addition, the controversial leader Villian was announced to the public as having died on the battlefield.

It was only natural that such a double blow would plunge the witch clan, which had little organization to begin with, into chaos.

So, Aize nodded:

"I guessed that, so?"

"So, if Aize needs me, I can find a way to become a witch again, and then find an opportunity to make the entire witch clan defect. In this way, your strength will..."

"No, no."

Aize rejected the proposal without hesitation, causing Miss Witch to blink in surprise.

"why?"

"It's too dangerous, and it's not necessary."

The chances of success of the thing itself are extremely small.

The danger is immeasurable.

No matter what, he wasn't so poor that he needed Villian to take such a risk.

Another reason is that Villian herself does not like the identity of the so-called great witch.
