Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 60 Miss Witch and the Dust of History
　　After leaving the Kingdom of Grossenhain, Angelica talked about something while walking on the road.
　　"Sister Angelica said... there are no more Grossenhain people?"

　　Abigail was in a mess, they had just come out of the Kingdom of Grossenhain.
　　"To be precise, there are no pure Grossenhain people. Abigail, do you remember the information about the Grossenhain people you saw in the Kingdom of Radeboyle?"
　　"The information I read in the Kingdom of Radeboyle...ah."

　　Abigail suddenly remembered something.
　　"Curly hair! The Radeboyle says that all Grossenhain people have curly hair!"
　　The documents of the Kingdom of Radeboyle also slandered the Grossenhain people, even saying that the curly hair of the Grossenhain people was proof that they had sold their souls to the devil.

　　However, Abigail, who had spent some time in Grossenhain herself, discovered that the people of Grossenhain did not have curly hair.
　　"Could it be like Velden..."
　　The Kingdom of Radbeul's record of the Battle of Velden did not contain much critical content, and Abigail thought that this was again a difference caused by the perspectives of the two kingdoms.

　　But Angelica denied it flatly.
　　"No, the Grosenhain people do have curly hair. The Radeboyle people did not record this incorrectly. That was a feature from four hundred years ago, or even earlier. Does Abigail know about half-elves?"
　　"I heard that it is the offspring of humans and elves?"

　　"Yes, half-elves inherit the beauty and pointed ears of elves, but their ears are not as long as those of elves, and their affinity with nature is not as good as that of pure-blooded elves. The offspring of two different races will inherit some characteristics of both parents' races. This factor is called heredity. There are some special features among the same races. Characteristics such as skin color will not be erased with inheritance from generation to generation, but some other characteristics will change."
　　The Grossenhain people were originally a nomadic people on horseback. After settling down, the times changed, and the current Grossenhain people have lost their nomadic customs.
　　"Four hundred years ago, the Radeboyle Kingdom was torn apart by civil war, and the Grossenhain people took advantage of the chaos and moved south to occupy the Radeboyle land. The Grossenhain people did not have the custom of monogamy, and a large number of Radeboyle women were abducted to become their concubines. Over a long period of time, there have been more and more mixed-race children between the Grossenhain people and the Radeboyle people. Although Grossenhain later absorbed feudal culture and became monogamous, the proportion of mixed-race children became the majority."

　　Most of these mixed-race children identified themselves as Grossenhain people of their father's lineage, and the Grossenhain people did not regard them as outsiders. Moreover, in those days, Grossenhain men could not pursue women from their own tribe, and they could not be single for the rest of their lives, so they would choose to rob and forcefully marry women from Radeboyle.
　　"The number of Grossenhain people is not large. If they had the advantage in numbers, they would not have been able to get a share of the spoils during the Radeboyle civil war. In short, over time, the Grossenhain people's iconic curly hair has become increasingly rare as their bloodlines have been mixed from generation to generation."
　　"Wait a minute, according to what Angelica's sister said, the current Grossenhain Kingdom——"
　　“That’s it.”

　　Angelica shrugged.
　　"In the current Grossenhain Kingdom, there are no pure-blooded Grossenhain people anymore. Every Grossenhain person's ancestors have the blood of the Radeboyle people."
　　"Including King Lewinsky…?"

　　"Including him, of course. Lewinsky also has Radeboyle in his ancestry."
　　Angelica occasionally wondered if Manuel had really completed the unification and the kingdom had not continued to split, in that world, would the people of Radeboyleand Grossenhain be as close as one family hundreds of years later? Or would the characteristics of the Grossenhain people become less and less with the continuous intermarriage, and finally, all of them would identify as Radeboyle people?
　　Unfortunately, there is no if, and the reality is that the contradictions between the two countries are difficult to reconcile.

　　"But King Lewinsky hates the Radeboyle and wants to wage war against them... Sister Angelica, is there any way we can stop him?"
　　"That's impossible. Even if Lewinsky knew, he would still continue on that path. Abigail, this is the most important lesson I want to teach ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) you. Don't think that magic can do everything. A beautiful witch as powerful as me..."
　　Abigail felt that it was unnecessary to emphasize that she was a beautiful girl in this passage, but for Abigail, it was more of a loss. Even a powerful magician like Angelica couldn't...

　　"It is possible to prevent a conflict between the armies of two countries. I am a genius."
　　“So, it’s possible to do this!”
　　"But, there's no point."

　　Angelica said with a bright smile.
　　"A witch can kill a person and stop a conflict between two powerful armies, but she cannot change history that has already happened."
　　"ah……"

　　"I can definitely assassinate Lewinsky and eliminate the root cause of Grossenhain's madness. But the Battle of Velden sixty years ago was the soil for Lewinsky to implement his policies in Grossenhain. Even if I eliminate Lewinsky, the result of the Battle of Velden is still coldly laid out before them."
　　Angelica did not deny that Lewinsky's eloquence was closely related to his rise to power. Without Lewinsky, the Kingdom of Grossenhain might not have gone to extremes.
　　"It's the same with the Kingdom of Radeboyle. I can temporarily delay their army. But the people of Radeboyle identify with the land occupied by the people of Grossenhain because of Radeboyle's thousands of years of history. As long as they look back to the unified Radeboyle in history, they will continue to attack Grossenhain."

　　The witch can stop the Radeboy army once.
　　However, the witch could not change the long-standing foundation of Radeboyle.
　　"Even witches can't change history, Abigail."

　　...This is a later story.
　　The fifteenth day after the witch left.
　　A strange light erupted in the sky above the old site of Velden, the border between the two kingdoms, and then heavy rain fell, hindering any military action.

　　Some people claimed that the kings of the two countries had obtained the magic scrolls of Sequence One. However, when the two magic scrolls of Sequence One were used against each other, a neutralization reaction with no magical aftermath was produced, which only caused a long-lasting heavy rain. Although some people suspected that this kind of movement was not the result of a collision of magic of Sequence One, the origin of this heavy rain and strange light was still unknown.
　　The thirty-second day since the witch left.
　　The heavy rain stopped, and the army was able to pass.

　　The war broke out.
　　Radeboyle recorded it as the fifth recovery of lost territory.
　　Grossenhain records it as: the fifth invasion of the Radebeuls.

　　Other national records from the spectator's perspective are: The Fifth Radeboyle-Grosenhain War.
