Chapter 70 Antoinette, the Brave Warrior of "Art"
About a week later.
"Congratulations! Miss Antoinette!"
"That's great. Senior Antoinette finally..."
Abigail and Susan celebrated Antoinette's recovery in the nursing home. Antoinette stayed in the nursing home because she sealed her memory herself and the curse did have a physical impact on her.
Antoinette is a magical genius, but her physical strength is no different from that of an ordinary girl.
"I feel like I can handle her with force," the witch said. By the way, as a witch, Angelica knows some hand-to-hand combat skills. Angelica explained that it is normal for magicians to know hand-to-hand combat.
"If Senior Antoinette is discharged from the hospital now, she should be able to catch up with Onee-sama's election."
"That's impossible."
Angelica bluntly denied Susan's expectations.
"Only third-year students can run for election, and Santa Barbara Girls' Academy has already said that Antoinette is still a second-year student, so she will not be eligible to run until next year."
After all, if there were no age limit, Angelica felt that she should be the unprecedented and unrivaled big sister for three consecutive years.
"Yes, Susan, I am the same age as you now, so you don't have to call me senior."
"No! Senior is a senior!"
Susan didn't back down from this.
Abigail informed Susan of the news that Antoinette had awakened. She believed that having someone familiar with Antoinette by her side would help her cheer up quickly.
During this week, Antoinette, Angelica and others buried Louis.
Antoinette still felt sad when she thought of her brother Louis... but it was just sadness, without any despair or loss of hope for the future.
Just as Antoinette gave up her future life for Louis and sealed her memory at the age when Louis was still alive, Louis also made the same choice as his sister and returned Antoinette's life full of multiple possibilities to her.
Both of them made the decision out of their own will, and the source of this will was undoubtedly the bond between family members. So Antoinette would not degenerate, she knew that she could live a normal life again, full of Louis's sustenance and blessings.
Besides…Antoinette is not lonely.
Abigail, who had also lost a loved one, could understand Antoinette's feelings. Although Antoinette was a little embarrassed to see Abigail after she recovered, she soon learned from Abigail that this girl had a similar experience as her.
"Ms. Angelica."
Antoinette turned to Angelica and asked with extra seriousness.
"You really agree to let Abigail lodge with me?"
"I have no objection. I took her away from her hometown so that she could be self-reliant. Now Abigail already knows when to use the magic I taught her. You two don't hate each other, so staying in Walsrode is a good place."
In Angelica's opinion, there is no better place to stay than with Antoinette. Angelica will have to look for the descendants of the other five heroes in the future. The reason why she can find Antoinette smoothly is that the first generation of "art" heroes left behind the great achievements of founding the country, so that the descendants of the "art" heroes have a family lineage to find.
The descendants of the other heroes probably wouldn't be as smooth as this time. Angelica would drift around with the wind, and even she herself couldn't guarantee that she would be found. In such a prospect, Abigail was just a child, and she couldn't follow Angelica anywhere.
Despite the invasion of vampires, Walsrode is generally a safe place, especially the area around the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy, where the public security is particularly good due to the presence of children of nobles. Antoinette helped save Walsrode, so she is eligible to apply for financial assistance from Walsrode, which can at least ensure that Antoinette has enough food and clothing.
Another thing is that Antoinette's talents also make her a good magic teacher for Abigail, and she also has a good ladylike temperament. The "Healing" Hero Ecrecia is a standard soft girl heroine, and the contemporary "Art" Hero Antoinette is a well-educated lady - of course, her ladylike qualifications are not as good as Angelica, the witch herself thinks so.
"I hope you can take good care of Abigail. She is a very obedient child."
"I will. I should say I am the one who needs to be thanked."
Antoinette knew the whole story of Angelica's assistance to Louis. Without Angelica, Louis would never be able to break through Antoinette's inherent magic. Antoinette did not mean to blame Angelica. The fact that he could not break her inherent magic was undoubtedly more of a torture for Louis than a blessing to be alive.
After Louis leaves, Antoinette's home will become deserted.
Antoinette had no habit of hiring servants. Her ancestors were nobles, but she did not think that cleaning was a servant's job. This was one of the few things that did not conform to the lady teachings of the academy.
"I will do my best to help Miss Angelica in her prophecy... the resurrection of Hades. Although I think it is difficult for someone like me to bear the responsibility, since I have been chosen, I will try my best not to let everyone down."
"You are much more mature than the last descendant of a hero I met because you have this awareness."
Anyway, it is said that the descendants of heroes can restrain the God of the Underworld. Angelica is too lazy to think about how to restrain them. She is only responsible for summoning the descendants of seven heroes. As for whether they can defeat the God of the Underworld, it is not within the scope of the witch's business.
"I will try to contact you after I find the other descendants of the heroes. Then I should set off to my next destination."
"Sister Angelica...are you leaving?"
Abigail made her own decision to stay in Walsrode, but on the day of parting with Angelica, Abigail had mixed feelings. After experiencing the precedent of Angelica forgetting Manuel in the Kingdom of Radeboyle, Abigail was able to accept that Angelica would forget her one day.
Abigail will never forget Angelica. The witch took her to a foreign land, taught her magic such as Esperanto, and gave her instructions on how to survive on her own. In Abigail's heart, Angelica will always be a special person.
"We'll have a chance to meet again in the future. I also need to contact Antoinette and tell her about the other descendants of the heroes. By the way, did Antoinette use your special admission recommendation?"
"No... Miss Angelica means...?"
"Why not recommend Abigail? With the influence of a lady like me, she should be qualified to enroll."
"Now that Sister Angelica has said that, I feel like I have no chance at all!"
"What do you mean? Introduce me right now! At worst, I can hypnotize the examiner—"
The witch's departure was surprisingly not sad. Perhaps both the witch and the people who stayed in Walsrode believed from the bottom of their hearts that the future would be a clear sky without any haze.
