Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 51 Manuel the Great
　　King Peter originally thought that Angelica was merely seeking pleasure for the moment and did not take it seriously. No matter how much the two girls acted in the capital, it was impossible for them to cause a bad impact on the national treasury.
　　However, Angelica did not go to the library for a whole week. She wandered around various entertainment venues every day. She flirted with almost every girl in the massage parlor. The tavern owner knew the witch's face. If Rosalin had not used her reputation to guarantee that Angelica was the real "black" witch, King Peter would have suspected that Angelica was a liar.

　　King Peter, who could no longer bear it, wrote a letter to Angelica. The letter contained long and eloquent words. Angelica couldn't sleep after receiving the letter. After repeatedly pondering it, she finally figured out King Peter's euphemistic expression from the gaps between the words.
　　——That’s enough.
　　"Hmph... You are such a stingy king. I haven't had enough fun yet."

　　In the library of the royal capital of Radeboyle, the witch complained to King Peter without hesitation that the scholars who were lucky enough to enter the library avoided the witch, who was committing treason.
　　"I think we should get down to business..."
　　The good girl Abigail, had been feeling uneasy for a few days. Angelica said that the war in the Kingdom of Radeboyle was imminent, but her actions were to do nothing and indulge in pleasure all day long.

　　"Abigail, don't be soft-hearted when you have the chance to kill someone."
　　"I, I just feel a little guilty about the fact that we are enjoying ourselves without doing anything..."
　　"To be able to enjoy life without doing anything is something many people dream of and pursue their whole lives. As for my personal attitude... I don't mind being kept."

　　Angelica has never lacked suitors. Besides, Angelica bets on horses just for fun. She never gets addicted and doesn't spend much money at all. Angelica found that in an era without pay-to-win mobile games, her expenses at home didn't seem to be very high.
　　There are many people who are capable of supporting Angelica, but unfortunately, including Coppelia, everyone is more or less greedy for Angelica's body. Angelica has no choice but to choose to live alone.
　　After complaining, Angelica still thought about the main task of finding the descendants of the brave warrior of "Art", but the contents of the library seriously dampened Angelica's few enthusiasms.

　　"Most of them are biographies and research that record the great achievements of Emperor Manuel the Great."
　　Angelica, who was extremely bored, casually pulled a book from the bookshelf. As expected, the cover was a portrait of the handsome Manuel.
　　"People here seem to worship Emperor Manuel the Great."

　　Abigail pulled out a Radeboyle currency from her pocket. The portrait engraved on it was not that of the first generation "Art" hero, but that of Emperor Manuel the Great.
　　Outside the window of the library is the open-air square of the royal capital, in the center of which stands a huge stone statue of Manuel. Manuel is like a knight, with his hands on the hilt of his sword, gazing at the old capital in the distance with a righteous look on his face.
　　Angelica's comment on this was: "He is completely different from the impression I had of Manuel."
　　"Huh? Sister Angelica has met Emperor Manuel?"

　　In today's Kingdom of Radebeul, Manuel the Great enjoys a very high reputation. The current royal family and King Peter are both descendants of Manuel the Great. The people of Radebeul firmly believe that Manuel's lifelong wish was to unify the entire territory of Radebeul. His legendary life is full of romance, and there are countless historical biographies and gossips about him.
　　People are willing to believe that the legendary emperor was loved by more than one woman, and countless stories about Manuel's adventures have been circulated and performed on the stage of the Radebeul Opera House.
　　"Yes, I have. I told you I've been to Radebeul before. At that time, Radebeul had not yet completed its unification, and Manuel was not yet the emperor. He was just an insignificant little guy."

　　Angelica came to the windowsill and looked at the stone statue of Manuel in the square through the glass.
　　"He was not a strong man. At that time, the war was going on, and Manuel's family was just good enough to keep him from starving. But later, people liked to portray him as a perfect man who was both civil and military."
　　"What kind of person is Emperor Manuel the Great in your opinion, Sister Angelica?"

　　Abigail asked with great interest. The witch of immortality and aging had experienced it personally, and the history she narrated was definitely more real than the written records.
　　Miss Witch smiled.
　　"Have no idea."

　　"Eh... Angelica-sister, you don't want to tell me..."
　　"No, I really don't know."
　　"But Sister Angelica just said that she had met Emperor Manuel himself."

　　"It's true that I have met him, but I only spent a short six months with him."
　　Half a year...is it short?
　　Abigail came up with this idea naturally, but to the witch of immortality, half a year was just a blink of an eye.

　　"So Sister Angelica can't remember?"
　　"I guess so. I still remember some things. Abigail, do you know a creature called the dodo bird?"
　　"No...what a cute name."

　　“She’s also very cute.”
　　Angelica searched the bookshelf. The library was said to be the richest in Radeboyle, so there must be records about animals in it.
　　Soon, Angelica found a complete catalog of Radeboyle's animals, which detailed all the animals that had appeared in Radeboyle. According to the index in the catalog, she immediately found the dodo among the extinct creatures.

　　Abigail was instantly attracted by the lifelike picture of the Dodo bird in the animal collection. The Dodo bird depicted in the album had a simple and honest appearance. As the name suggests, the bird was plump. Although it had wings, its fat body was not enough to support it to fly.
　　"Such a lovely animal...it no longer exists..."
　　Seeing the extinct mark on it, Abigail felt very sad. Angelica didn't need to explain; the illustrations explained in detail the results of the zoologists' research. The dodo bird was fat and could not migrate on a large scale. It had high requirements for the living environment. A slightly harsh environment could easily lead to the death of the dodo bird.

　　Four hundred years ago, the kingdom of Radeboyle was incompetent, which led to the division of the kingdom. In addition, there was a drought in the south of the kingdom and the invasion of the nomadic people of Grossenhain in the north. The living environment of the Dodo bird deteriorated sharply. However, everyone was in danger at that time. No place was safe. How could anyone care about the safety of the Dodo bird? It was not until the war subsided that zoologists finally had a safe environment to conduct research. Only then did they sadly discover that this lovable little animal may have died in the war for a hundred years.
　　"The opportunity for me to meet Manuel was when I accepted his commission to find the Dodo bird."
