Chapter 36 Negotiation

Roland was dragged from the bed by the nightingale.

After learning that Nanava Pine's father came to him, he was shocked at first, but soon realized that this was a rare opportunity. If you want the little girl to stay to help fight Demon Moon, you must find a reason to let the Pine's family stay in the border town for winter.

Originally this was an extremely difficult thing. The reputation and reputation of the fourth princes had fallen to the bottom among the nobles. In addition, the relationship with the fortress was tense. It was obvious that the nobles whose families were in the eastern part of the fortress were unlikely to stay in the town.

Roland never considered working with the nobles from the beginning. They may be good at fighting for power, but they are not suitable for fighting side by side.

He quickly put on his clothes, washed up briefly, and came to the living room.

Tigu Pine, who was taken here by his personal guards for a long time, was already angry. When he saw the prince, he immediately stood up. Your Highness, where is my daughter?

This was the first time Roland met Nanava's father.

He was stout and not tall, with a circle of beards on his face that looked extremely rough, and his waist-length cotton coat and large pockets of leather pants were dressed more like a hunter than a nobleman.

She's very good, Mr. Pine

Why would your guard let her in directly but stop me outside the door?Tigu interrupted with a full breath, I need an explanation, Your Highness!Please bring my daughter out to see me!

What rhythm is this?

Roland was stunned. The scene he imagined should be that the other party knew that his daughter had unfortunately fallen into a witch, and either humbly begged him to hide the news or simply asked him to solve the problem.

But he really didn't expect Pine, who was so aggressive and did not act according to noble etiquette.

As for why the guards let Nanava come in, it was entirely because of their own explanation.She came to play with Anna every few days, and the guards were familiar with her.

After thinking for a moment, Roland recruited a maid and asked her to bring Nanava over.

No matter how rude the other party was, he was still Nanava's father, so let the two meet before talking.

If he shows a little bit of intention to hand over the little girl to the church or abandon it, it will not be too late to take measures himself.

Nanava came out with Anna.

The moment he saw his daughter, the impatience in Tigu Pine's eyes disappeared immediately. He opened his hand and shouted to Nanava: Come to Daddy quickly.

But the little girl just hid behind Anna, revealing half of her head. Will you sell me to the church?

Cough...what are you talking about? Silly kid, the church won’t accept a fool like you. Come home with me.

This reaction made Roland a little confused. According to Nightingale, Nanava was seen by her father when she was exercising her magic. She fled to the castle in panic to find Anna, while her father chased her here with murderous aura.

But now it seems that Tigu only cares and spoils in his eyes when he looks at his daughter, which is completely different from the hatred of ordinary people towards witches.

Did you make something wrong?

Roland hesitated and decided to open up the matter. Mr. Pine, your daughter is a witch, and you probably know it too.

I don't understand what you said about Your Highness.Tigu stamped his feet and walked forward to grab Nanava's hand, but Anna blocked it sideways.

Father, I have become a witch...I'm sorry.Nanava whispered.

Tigu finally got a little anxious, don’t talk nonsense!What a witch, it was taught by that guy Carl. If I had known it, I wouldn't have let you go to the academy. The kind of rhetoric in the church is bullshit!

Hearing this, Roland suddenly understood something in his heart. Perhaps the other party's actions of concealing Nanava in every possible way were because he misunderstood himself?

So he was so anxious before he saw his daughter.

Anna.He blinked at the witch, who nodded, facing Tigu who was bypassing him and trying to pull Nanava away, and stretched out his right hand.The flames gushed out of his palms and rushed past his head.

Tigu widened his eyes and took a few steps back in panic. Nanava also hugged Anna's arm in panic, Sister Anna, don't!

Your Highness, this is it!

As you can see, she is also a witch, just like your daughter, Roland spread her hands, the reason why Nanava can enter and exit the castle freely is not as you thought. Now we can have a good talk?

At this moment, Tigu seemed to wake up from a dream, and said twice, Your Highness, I...

Sit down and said, Roland pointed to the table and had a cup of tea first.

As expected, he sighed in his heart. My reputation is so bad that I can't even let go of a child.

Roland now fully understood the other party's rude performance at the beginning. A father who cared about his daughter saw his daughter running into the lord's castle and the guards guarding the gate looked like they were used to. What does this mean?

If the person involved is himself, I am afraid that he will have the heart to tear the castle with empty hands.

As for the fact that he had always denied that his daughter was a witch later, his intention was even more obvious. Tigu was worried that the prince would threaten him with the argument that Nanava had fallen and needed to be purified, and he himself did not care whether his precious daughter was a witch.

Tigu hesitated for a long time, but finally sat down, picked up the teacup and drank it dry, wiped his mouth, and looked a little embarrassed. Sorry, I was rude.When did you know that my daughter became a uh… witch?

Before winter begins.The first person to discover that she awakens is not me, but her teacher, Carl Vanbert.Since she was friends with Anna, he entrusted Nanava to me, hoping that I could give her protection. Roland explained in detail, and during the past month and a half, she would come to the castle to practice her abilities when she had time.By the way, your daughter’s ability is healing.

Is that true? Tigu scratched his head, and I said, why did the cat suddenly run and jump?

cat?

Ahem, it's nothing.When I got home, I saw the child sitting at the door holding a cat hit by a carriage. I was planning to go over from behind and scare her. Unexpectedly, she ran away when she saw me. The same was true for the cat. It was obviously broken with its leg. He looked at Nanava and Anna, "Are you friends?"

Before Anna could express her opinion, Nanava's head was already rising quickly.

Tigu's expression was a little softer.

Seeing this, Roland asked: You don't seem to think that the witch is an evil person seduced by the devil.

My daughter is certainly not an evil person!He said firmly, no matter what she became, there was no doubt about this!

He was completely different from Anna's father. Roland couldn't help but sigh. He now understood why Nanava was always carefree and had a smile on her face.

Such a family is like a warm cradle for a child.

I don't think so, Mr. Pine, the prince said bluntly that your daughter's ability means a lot to the injured.I hope she can stay in Border Town and help me fight the Demon Moon together.

Tigu hesitated, Your Highness, please forgive me for refusal. When the Demon Moon arrives, this place will become very dangerous and I cannot leave her in the town.

Tigu Pine's fiefdom did not belong to the area under the border town, so even if he was a prince, he could not directly order him.

But as long as he is willing to sit down and talk, Roland thought, he would not be afraid of not being able to convince him.
