Bold Isa

Under the night sky, with a bright moon and sparse stars hanging high, Isa slowly exited the room, gently closing the door behind her.

She wasn’t surprised to see Philly still waiting by the corridor entrance.

“How is Canlisa?”

Philly was the first to ask about Canlisa’s condition.

She had seen how she was downstairs, which was why she hadn’t continued with the rest of her speculations.

“Her emotions have calmed down a lot. After taking her potion, Maimai is resting with her. Having someone by her side will make her feel more at ease.”

Maimai’s body had shown significant improvement after using the blood-replenishing potion for the past few days; she was no longer as weak as she had been at the beginning.

She could now use both her magic essence and witch abilities normally, possessing a certain degree of strength.

“It’s just that the duration is still shorter than before.”

“Let’s continue our previous conversation. In your opinion, Philly, what exactly happened to the butler?”

It was obvious that Philly had held back earlier because of Canlisa’s presence.

Now that Canlisa was asleep, it was time for the two of them to analyze the current situation.

“I believe Sant is still in the city. You should know that my witch ability allows me to communicate with and control trees. The few contact points I left for Sant show no signs of anyone having stopped there.”

Isa had personally experienced Philly’s witch ability, so she naturally believed her words without a doubt.

“I also think Mr. Sant is still in Hermel. But simply delivering a letter shouldn’t have delayed him for so long that he couldn’t leave before the curfew. Could the problem be with the letter itself?”

If the Lord of Blackstone City’s letter had a problem, then the situation they faced in crossing the Eastern Border would become much more severe.

“The Lord Mayor wouldn’t have just bluntly told someone, ‘Please help me send these few witches out,’ right?”

Not just Philly, even Isa herself didn’t believe that the Lord of Blackstone City was a man without foresight.

“His daughter’s life is at stake; he would surely be extremely cautious.”

“Lord Hayden didn’t tell us who his acquaintance is, and Sant didn’t leave any useful information either. In that case, let’s split up tomorrow when we enter the city to gather information.”

Considering that a group of four would be too conspicuous, Isa decided they would enter Hermel in two groups of two.

“We are still too weak. If we had great power, we wouldn’t need to be so cautious about even entering a city.”

Thinking of how close she was to Sequence Three, Isa couldn’t help but lower her eyes and sigh.

‘If only Her Highness Su Ran were here now.’

‘Eh? Is Isa calling me?’

A familiar voice drifted over.

Isa looked up to see a beautiful figure standing at the top of the stairs at the end of the corridor.

Her heart filled with joy, as if a wish she had just made had come true.

“Your Highness.”

Hearing Su Ran’s voice, Philly reacted a step slower than Isa, turning to bow to her.

“So, you want to go to Hermel tomorrow to find Sant?”

Su Ran had a general understanding of the situation now.

She had met Sant and Canlisa before.

If Sant had truly run into trouble, she agreed with Isa and Philly’s approach—to save him if they could.

“I understand. I will go to Hermel with you all tomorrow.”

Since the day after tomorrow was her debut day at the Sakura Cafe, Winnie had mercifully given her a day off tomorrow, so she could maintain a good mental state.

Therefore, Su Ran had the entire day tomorrow to act alongside Isa and the others.

“Then, Your Highness, shall I go make your bed?”

‘Her Highness Su Ran will definitely need to rest tonight, so…’

Upon hearing that Su Ran would be joining them in the city tomorrow, Isa’s mind instantly started racing.

All the rooms in the cabin were currently occupied.

Sant usually slept on the sofa on the first floor.

The question of where Her Highness Su Ran would sleep… wouldn’t that be a problem for her to solve?

She remembered the last time she had held Her Highness Su Ran’s fragrant, soft body.

If she could have Her Highness Su Ran sleep in her bed…

Isa’s cheeks grew hotter and hotter, and the fantasies in her mind grew more and more audacious.

Gazing at Her Highness Su Ran’s stunningly beautiful face, her line of sight grew increasingly fervent.

Unconsciously, Isa’s thoughts had become bolder and bolder, and she had already started imagining Her Highness Su Ran coaxing her to sleep.

‘Heavens, how could I make Her Highness Su Ran coax me to sleep!’

Isa quickly pushed the blasphemous thought from her mind.

‘No matter what, I should be the one serving Her Highness Su Ran, helping her change and go to sleep.’

‘How could I dare to hope to sleep together with Her Highness?’

“I will appear on time tomorrow. Maintaining a clone constantly will accelerate the consumption of magic essence.”

Su Ran was unaware of Isa’s thoughts, but she couldn’t stay immersed in the game forever.

‘If I really stay for a whole night, my body won’t be able to take it.’

“So, you all rest well tonight. Don’t worry, I’ll be here for everything.”

After Su Ran logged out of the Witch Game, she suddenly realized a problem.

She was completely broke!

Seeing that it wasn’t too late, Su Ran threw on a coat and got up to walk towards Winnie’s room.

When she reached the door, she didn’t even knock and went straight for a classic opening:

“Manager, are you in?”

Winnie’s voice came from inside, indicating she hadn’t gone to sleep yet.

“I’d like to borrow some money from you, Manager.”

Su Ran’s expression was sheepish, her small hands fidgeting restlessly.

After all, asking the manager for a loan before she had even officially started working made her feel a little embarrassed.

Hearing the reason for her visit, Winnie opened the door and looked Su Ran up and down.

Sensing Winnie’s scrutinizing gaze, Su Ran lowered her head even further.

If this were a different setting, the current scene could become much more… suggestive.

“How much?”

Hearing this, Su Ran slowly raised a single, delicate finger.

“A thousand? I’ll just count it as an advance on your salary.”

A thousand yuan was nothing to Winnie.

She was about to take out her phone to transfer the money to Su Ran.

“T-Ten thousand.”

“???”

After Su Ran spoke, Winnie looked up and stared at her.

After a long moment, she said faintly, “Remember to earn a lot of money for me on your debut day.”

Originally, Winnie had thought that since the first “private session” on Su Ran’s debut day was already reserved for Her Highness Eve, the other procedures could be simplified—a direct auction would suffice.

But after Su Ran came to borrow money from her, she changed her mind.

She would change the auction segment into a voting segment.

Only the person with the most votes would win the right to the first private session.

That way, Her Highness the Princess’s money would be returned in full, and the customers’ money would be split seventy-thirty.

Seeing how utterly broke Su Ran was, if she didn’t make a huge sum on her debut day, who knew when she might come knocking to borrow money again.

“Yes, I’m doing this for her own good. It’s definitely not because I want to earn a little extra.”

After saying this, Winnie closed the door again and immediately started modifying the plans for Su Ran’s debut day.
