Otaku Witch

Chapter 273: 246. The Sleeping Beauty in the Prophecy



After Sophia spoke, the atmosphere around the dinner table quieted down again. The others first stared at the Pure White Witch for a while, then all turned their gazes towards Dorothy.

And Dorothy, the homebody witch, simply gave up resisting and lay down to take it. She calmly took a sip of ice-cold beer and bit into a skewer of grilled meat to calm her nerves.

Well, that explains it. No wonder one of the choices she gave me back then included option three.

Tsk, she really is a true mother, preparing to marry me off since I was young.

But seriously, Sophia, how could you say such embarrassing things with such a calm and straightforward face? I never realized you were this brave before.

Thinking back to the Pure White Witch's firm words about protecting her most important family at all costs, Dorothy felt her own face heating up. It's super embarrassing to be spoken about like that."

Even though I used to talk about family every day, suddenly being told that by someone else... The homebody witch found it quite unbearable, her ears turning bright red.

More ice-cold beer, I need to cool off this fiery qi.

Glug, glug...

The homebody witch lifted her glass and chugged.

Apart from her, the person involved, the others also had varying expressions on their faces.

"Wow, no wonder she's the Club President. Those words are just so cool, but isn't this really a confession?"

The timid Little Fox admired the Pure White Witch's courage, wishing she could be so bold. If she were, she'd already have accomplished the ultimate 'become real and confess' dream.

"Hiss, was that personally approved by the instructor?"

Senior Mia's gaze turned serious. Her heart, which had relaxed because the Club President and the Little Fairy were only fake lovers, suddenly tensed up again. She never expected the President to have the Instructor's personal endorsement.

This is trouble; a marriage approved by parents could happen in an instant, right?

The Golden Princess started to grow anxious, contemplating whether she should find time to seriously visit the Instructor....

"What loyal words, President. I support you."

That was Sidwell's thought. Miss Moon Rabbit was touched by such unwavering loyalty.

Even Senior Fanny, the Merry Maker, was somewhat stunned at this moment. She had intended to tease the other party, finding joy in the other's twisted annoyance, obviously not wanting to speak yet having to. But this Little Angel's straightforward fastball not only deprived her of fun but also force-fed her a mouthful of dog food.

Damn it, why? Have I become a Clown now?

Masked Senior Sister was so annoyed she switched from the Great Dragon mask to the Clown mask.

And as the game continued, the Merry Maker was quickly met with retribution.

Dorothy 5, Fanny 1, Sophia 4, Sidwell 6, Audrey 3, Mia 2.

Seeing Senior Fanny, whose Clown mask had almost turned black with anger, rolling a 1 yet again, Dorothy laughed heartily, delighting in her misfortune.

Hahaha, is this the Future Fourth King? It's just too funny. Could you be the King of the Unlucky?

"Damn, this dice is definitely targeting me."

Masked Senior Sister was in a helpless rage, then under her mask, her sheep-like eyes stared at the pitiful Miss Moon Rabbit, trying to use kingly authority to teach the little Moon Rabbit a lesson that there are things she shouldn't inquire about.

But, what a joke, the Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit might have her flaws, but cowardice certainly wasn't one of them.

So, Sidwell just glanced at her king, and after receiving a radiant smile and an intensified gaze as a hint from him, Miss Moon Rabbit felt no fear at all.

"Lady Fanny, what I want to ask is whether you believe in the so-called destined one?"

Alright, the upright Miss Moon Rabbit wasn't much of a Merry Maker after all, this game might just be fun and frolic for The Witches, but for her, it had already been a little adventure.

Especially this mysterious Masked Witch, Sidwell wasn't blind, she could clearly see that every witch present, aside from her own king, regarded the Masked Witch with wariness, even the Student Council President, which suggested that this Masked Witch might be the most powerful one there.

Then, such a powerful witch should be able to answer the doubts that had always troubled her heart.

Well, even though she had already sworn allegiance and had sincerely decided to serve the king, there was always a thorn in Miss Moon Rabbit's heart, which was their meeting due to her mother's Prophecy.

She didn't like the feeling that everything seemed arranged by someone else, and she was rather rebellious towards the idea of a destined one, so she wanted to hear others' opinions on it, and the views of this powerful Masked Witch would presumably be of significant reference for her.

Upon such a question, The Witches who were initially looking forward to the fun were somewhat disappointed, but then they quickly became interested; after all, while fun was fun, the chance to listen to a great scholar lecture couldn't be passed up—Senior Fanny was once the Club President with the Eye of True Sight, a real academic, and her views on Fate were invaluable, and now they could mooch this knowledge for free.

To this, Senior Fanny also sighed in relief; this little rabbit was quite sensible, not asking any bizarre questions, otherwise, she'd have to educate her on the consequences of challenging kingly authority.

Anyone who dares to embarrass the great Fourth King must take responsibility for it.

But a destined one, huh?

A complicated emotion also showed in Senior Fanny's mysterious sheep-like eyes beneath her mask.

"I, too, once didn't believe in it, thinking that my life was in my own hands, not dictated by fate, but now, I somewhat believe it because my destined one is right before my eyes."

Having said that, Masked Senior Sister glanced towards Dorothy who had finished her drink and was munching on melon.

"As you all know, I went mad after being afflicted with the Curse of Knowledge, but before I completely lost it, I made one last prophecy for myself, and the result was a fairy tale story."

"Yes, it's the story of Sleeping Beauty."

"The slumbering princess just needs to wait patiently. In time, a destined His Royal Highness the Prince will come to awaken her and give her a happily ever after home."

"Right, my His Royal Highness the Prince?" Senior Fanny said with a chuckle to the dumbfounded Homebody Witch sitting across from her.

On the other side, with a thunk, Dorothy was so startled that the melon in her hand dropped to the ground.

Mommy, why is this suddenly about me? Who on earth is your His Royal Highness the Prince? When you contracted with me, you said nothing about this; you just wanted to take a good look at the world before you died, right?

I get it, you Merry Maker, you must be trying to stir up trouble again, aren't you—am I supposed to give you a true love's kiss later?

So wicked.

...The Homebody Witch glared back with her eyes...
