92 The Invitation
Selma Payne’s pov:
However, no matter what, Dorothy should not continue living here. This ho filled with pain was unable to provide her with a comfortable place to live and a learning space.
There were many empty rooms in the palace, weren’t there?
So, I carefully suggested, “Dorothy, perhaps you’re willing to move to the palace to accompany ? There’s no one of my age there. I’m really bored to death. When you’ve moved in, we can go to school together and train together. Isn’t that great?”
Dorothy imdiately saw through my disguise and chuckled, “You can just say that this house is not suitable for living in, Selma.”
“I didn’t want to be too offensive.” I smiled awkwardly.
Dorothy shrugged.
I thought she wouldn’t agree. After all, she had always been a slightly shy girl who was inclined to solve problems independently. But this ti, she asked directly, “Will the Lycan King and Queen agree to this? The palace is a heavily guarded place. I don’t think it will accept strangers as guests.”
She sort of agreed.
“Don’t worry,” I promised imdiately. “His Majesty knows you so well that you can see how much they trust and like you, right? I dare say that if you agree to move into the palace, Her Majesty will even ask Kara to drive to another room and leave the most comfortable bedroom for you!”
“Are you jealous?” Dorothy put on an act of being put in a difficult position. “Then, I think I’d better not accept the invitation. To protect Miss Selma’s unique and noble status in the Queen’s heart.”
I pounced on her and hugged her waist tightly, not letting her go. “No! You must move into the palace. This is the order of the noble Miss Selma!”
Dorothy laughed and said, “Since it’s your order, I can’t refuse.”
Just like that, Dorothy beca the first permanent guest of the palace.
My parents agreed readily. I guess they’d already investigated Dorothy’s family background in private, but they never told .
Hmph! Although I was already involved in politics, they still treated like a child sotis. Did they think I would go to Dorothy’s house and cause a scene?
While helping Dorothy set up the room, I told her about this.
“I have to say, I admire the foresight of His Majesty and Her Majesty.” Dorothy did not even lift her head as she fiddled with her books. “The first ti you t my grandmother, you had a huge fight. Do you still rember?”
“She was the one who provoked first.” I thought of the crazy woman my mother had sent soone to take care of. I muttered, “She has violent tendencies. It’s not my fault.”
“That’s right. It’s not your fault.”
Dorothy stopped tidying her books and stared blankly into space as if she was recalling sothing.
“Did I say that? In fact, I’ve hated my grandmother since I was young.” She said, “Although she didn’t starve to death and raised , I still hate her. When the silver was branded on my body, when I was scolded for no reason, when my things were thrown away like garbage, there was a mont when I wanted her to die.
“But I’ll soon regret this thought because she did raise , after all, didn’t she? The grace of raising is greater than heaven, and she had a reason for what she did to .
“During my long childhood and adolescence, these two thoughts appeared alternately, constantly fighting in my mind. Sotis, I wonder if I’ve gone crazy. Otherwise, why would I fight with myself like a schizophrenic?”
I gently hugged her, hoping to give this fragile-looking girl a little support and strength.
Dorothy chuckled a few tis.
“I’ve been struggling like this until my bloodline awakened.”
“The shift and the bloodline awakening ca together, and I beca a witch with a wolf or a wolf with sorcery. This is even more difficult to solve.”
She rested her head on my shoulder like a little wolf cub. I silently stroked her hair and didn’t say a word. I gave her ti.
“But later on, the Lycan King appeared, and you appeared. In a daze, I started learning witchcraft and even participated in a secret operation to protect the country. After coming into contact with the wider world and seeing more paths, I gradually thought, why should I make things difficult for myself? I should listen to my heart and choose the path I want.
“So, I believe in both goddesses at the sa ti. I promised you to move to the palace, and I also swore to live up to the reputation of the prophet witch.
“The only problem left is my grandmother...”
She chuckled.
“I used to think she hurt , but she had suffered a lot herself.
“Now, I understand. She has indeed suffered a lot, but that was not a good reason for her to hurt .”
