Another World Witch Training Manual

042. Open your heart

Adventurers' Guild.

"Are you feeling better?"

Eve gently touched Aleya's wound, her eyes filled with worry.

"Hmm... Miss Eve's healing magic is much more skillful than mine."

Alaya carefully put on her clothes while sincerely praising them.

"Ah, no, no..." Eve's eyes darted away slightly as she awkwardly helped Aleya slowly put on her clothes.

"I never expected that the eldest daughter of the prestigious Tanstin family would actually know how to serve others."

Eve straightened Alaya's collar. "Not really... I just learned it."

Alaya knew Eve was a witch, but she didn't ask her why she was alive.

Because Eve saved her, Alaya felt that Eve was not a bad person. Moreover, everyone with eyes could see that Eve was just caught in the crossfire of the operation to eliminate Marquis Tanstin.

Although as the high priestess of the Church of Light, she should have resolutely resisted the witch.

But rules are rigid, people are flexible.

Without life, how can there be faith?

Therefore, at this moment, Eve's existence does not conflict with Alaya's faith.

Eve, on the other hand, was also aware of the natural antagonism between them.

But since it was someone Xinlai had instructed her to help, she didn't have a chance to say anything more.

After healing magic treated the wound, Eve carefully bandaged Alaya's wounds.

Each lost in their own thoughts, they remained silent.

They booked a double room.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, so they sat on the edge of the bed in silence.

It's unclear whether Eve was impatient with the silence or had too many questions weighing on her mind.

"Alaya... will you report me?"

Eve asked cautiously, trying to find the answer.

If Aleya truly upholds absolute justice, then she accepts it.

"No." Alaya shook her head firmly. "You saved my life, and I will not repay kindness with enmity."

"Mmm..." Eve nodded reassuredly.

A verbal promise is enough.

As for what Aleya would do, Eve believed that Sinley would have already come to pick her up by then.

"Then can you tell me, it was His Highness the Third Prince who saved you?"

As women, once we open our hearts, many barriers disappear.

"I..." Eve hesitated.

She was unsure whether telling the truth would affect Xinlai, and she was struggling with this decision.

Aleya noticed Eve's concerns and said gently:

"Actually, I recognize that carriage. I just wanted to confirm it." Alaya, like a considerate older sister, didn't press for details but instead explained the reason.

Eve then belatedly realized that Aleya must have recognized Xinlai's carriage, and the clever Aleya must have guessed that it was Xinlai who saved her, which is why she had not refused to help from the beginning.

But then this thought took another turn, leading Eve to another idea:

Xinlai knew that Aleya would be in danger, and Aleya also knew that Xinlai would come to rescue her...

So their relationship must be very close?

An inexplicable sense of unease crept into Eve's heart. She had no right to inquire about the details, yet she was unable to suppress the strange emotion.

This Xinlai, she's always out there flirting with other women...

Perhaps she had figured it out, Eve gently sniffed and discovered that the scent on Alaya was exactly the same as the scent of the panties that Xinlai had taken out of her bag that day.

Could it be...?

Eve's face instantly flushed red uncontrollably.

Xinlai is a freak!

She was instantly furious and at a loss for words; it turned out she was the one everyone was talking about—the homewrecker!

No, no! What do you mean, a homewrecker?! She doesn't like Xin Lai! She was forced into it!! She's not a homewrecker!!!

hateful……

Sitting opposite her, watching Aleya blush inexplicably and lower her head awkwardly:

"Miss Eve? Are you alright?"

Aleya didn't understand why Eve's face suddenly turned red, so she asked curiously.

Eve nodded quickly, but still didn't lift her head.

She was completely unaware that her entire head was red.

Alaya paused for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on her lips, a knowing auntly smile tinged with envy.

She remembered that when Xinlai was at the execution ground that day, she didn't see the whole execution of Eve.

Thinking about it this way, it's likely that Sinley intervened and saved Eve before her execution.

Xinlai's invitation for her to accompany him to the execution ground was most likely a cover-up, intended to convey that "Eve" was dead, and not an invitation stemming from any particular feelings he had for her.

Sigh... Thinking about it this way, I'm a little disappointed...

However, the fact that Sinley arranged for Eve to help her shows that Sinley didn't treat her as an outsider.

Meanwhile, Xinlai was also keeping an eye on her.

Alaya sighed once again, marveling at how captivating Sinlai's mind was.

Judging from Eve's appearance, she has most likely already had physical intimacy with Sinley, right?

Aleya didn't seem to care whether she and Eve would be discovered by their pursuers. She got up and plopped down next to Eve, crossed her legs, lowered her head slightly, and asked curiously:

"Why did Xinlai choose to save you? Was it because of Miss Eve's enviable face, or...?"

"No, no, no," Eve quickly shook her head, "Yes, it was him...!!"

Alaya was a bit older than Eve. Looking at Eve was like watching a shy teenage girl who had been bewitched by a blond guy and was completely distracted.

Just as Alaya was getting playful and wanted to tease the adorable Eve, there was an unexpected knock on the door.

"Knock knock, knock knock knock".

Eve, her face flushed, and Aleya, whose face was still beaming with smiles, both paused unconsciously, their expressions vanishing instantly. They then looked up and down at each other, as if confirming a tactic.

Perhaps it was the battle they had just fought that had given them a tacit understanding, allowing them to comprehend each other's meaning without uttering a word.

Alaya immediately buffed Eve with all her buffs, and Eve instantly switched from her shy, girlfriend-like demeanor to a fighting face, staring seriously at the wooden door.

The hand gestures for the magic spells were already prepared.

"Knock knock, knock knock knock".

The wooden door was knocked on again, and Xinlai, standing outside, tilted her head in confusion.

What the heck... I just asked the receptionist, and Alaya and Eve did indeed book this double room.

Why is there no response after knocking on the door for so long?

Xin Lai hesitated for a moment, then took two steps back and examined the room number in the upper left corner of the door frame. It was indeed correct.

Has something happened?

Xinlai's face grew more serious. Although she could clearly feel the connection between her soul and Eve's in the room in front of her, she couldn't be sure that Eve might have already been kidnapped.

If that's the case, he would leave without hesitation, return to the dungeon, find Marquis Tanstin, and forcibly demand military power in the name of saving his daughter.

The situation with Alaya is still unclear, and now Eve has been dragged into it too. This is definitely going to be a huge problem.

Furthermore, once it is discovered that Eve is still alive, and Xin Lai secretly replaced her, he will be unable to escape the charges of harboring and cultivating a witch. He cannot think of any other way to survive except by recreating the "Xuanwu Gate Incident".

Therefore, there is no way to escape; the only option is to fight to the death.

"call……"

Having thought everything through, Xin Lai let out a long breath, and with a flick of her wrist, forcefully opened the door.

squeak-

The wooden door was gently pushed open.
