Madam, You Wouldn't Want Your Identity as a Witch to Be Exposed, Would You - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: They’re All Good Children, What Bad Intentions Could They Have?

***

“Mm!”

Leah nodded solemnly, not doubting Eve’s words in the slightest.

Because her mama and Princess Alice were close friends, Leah’s problems were also solved by Princess Alice.

Perhaps because of this, Leah also had a very high opinion of Princess Alice.

She felt Princess Alice was very gentle, just like her mama.

Not only that, but she also had the composure of someone in a high position. Though she was about the same age as Sister Qianzhi, her demeanor was far more mature than Sister Qianzhi.

She was the kind of gentle, beautiful, understanding big sister that people would fall in love with just by looking at her once.

Leah really liked Princess Alice, and also hoped that her mama could become even closer friends with Princess Alice.

After all, with Princess Alice around, Leah wouldn’t have to worry about herself and her mama being bullied.

Before her own wings were strong enough to protect mama, Princess Alice was Leah’s greatest reliance.

After all, what bad intentions could the Princess have?

She was mama’s close friend who could talk about anything, the person who solved her problems, and besides Eve, she was the gentlest person among all the strangers she met for the first time.

Leah trusted her from the bottom of her heart.

Meanwhile, melodious music began playing in the venue.

The ceremony’s final stage — the ball — had begun. This was the last moment of student life belonging to the Church Academy’s students.

After the ball ends, they would completely bid farewell to the Church Academy, complete their graduation ceremony, and become qualified members who could serve the Empire and the Church.

It was like saying goodbye to past times, and also like welcoming a new future.

Even at such a solemn occasion as the Church Academy’s graduation ceremony, a ball was permitted.

Moreover, in the Church Academy with its very strict doctrines, this was the only place where the academy tacitly allowed students to hold hands with their beloved.

Though called a ball, it was actually more of an opportunity to confess to the longtime crush in one’s heart.

After all, once they leave the Church Academy, they might never cross paths again.

Whether to silently regret about one’s crush for a lifetime, or gather courage to try holding her hand for a dance and confess their feelings, continuing this precious connection, it all depended on their individual courage.

Of course, popular girls always had many hands reaching out to them, waiting and hoping to be chosen.

Some more outgoing boys were the same, with shy girls pursing their lips as they extended invitations to them.

“The feeling of youth.”

Eve watched the young children around her, seeing them either cheering joyfully for their mutual feelings being reciprocated, or hanging their heads dejectedly due to fate not bringing them together.

Regardless of the outcome, it represented their youth drawing to a perfect close at this moment.

This made Eve couldn’t help but recall her high school crush from before. Even after so many years, she still couldn’t forget that fair and pure face.

She was so innocent back then, and now she had transmigrated to another world and become a mother.

The more Eve thought about it, the stranger she felt. Her youth didn’t seem as beautiful as what was before her eyes.

“Mama, Sister Qianzhi is so popular!”

“Hm?”

Eve looked in the direction Leah was pointing. After all, it was Zhizhi — she was beautiful, came from a good family, and had sufficient strength of her own.

Naturally, she would receive many people’s admiration.

The boys who wanted to invite her for a dance were as numerous as cattle, surrounding Qianzhi so tightly that not even water could pass through.

Of course, there weren’t just boys among them… there were also several good-looking girls who were trying their best to extend their hands to Qianzhi.

This made the originally introverted Zhizhi baby so anxious that sweat was about to drip from her forehead.

Her delicate face was full of bewilderment. She looked around, her gaze passing over countless hopeful eyes, until she finally saw Eve standing not far away.

She wanted to call out to Eve for help, but the noisy surroundings drowned out her already delicate voice, and Eve couldn’t hear what she was saying.

She could only see the pitiful and helpless look in her eyes, like a weak baby animal staring at its mama, hoping mama would come save her.

“Not gentlemanly at all, can’t they see Sister Qianzhi is uncomfortable?”

Leah pursed her lips on the side, but before she could finish speaking, her sleeve was suddenly tugged.

Leah instinctively turned around to see a girl who looked slightly older than her with a good figure standing shyly beside her.

“Um… Student Leah, hello.”

“Ah… hello.”

Leah nodded instinctively as she looked at the beautiful sister with the good figure in front of her.

She looked for a while but couldn’t figure anything out… she didn’t know her at all.

“I have a presumptuous request, I wanted to ask you…”

There was hesitation in the girl’s eyes, and her slender arms hanging at her sides now seemed unsure of where to place themselves, awkwardly suspended in mid-air.

“My little Leah is popular too, having a beautiful sister asking you for a dance. Don’t reject her, give it a try.”

“Making a friend is a good thing too.”

Eve leaned close to Leah’s side and whispered.

She smiled as she looked at the young girl whose face was so red it seemed about to drip blood, and the other party was so embarrassed by Eve’s gaze that she couldn’t lift her head.

“No, no, you misunderstand. I just wanted to ask Student Leah if she would allow her mama to share a dance with me?”

“Huh?”

Eve, who had been thinking that her daughter had finally made a friend, suddenly froze her smile.

So it turned out she was coming for me?

It seems this student also has the spirit of Jian’an.

“Mama is so popular.”

“But I’m not a student… and besides.”

Eve turned her head to look at Qianzhi who was still pitifully begging for her help from not far away.

“I’m sorry student, I don’t know how to dance, thank you for your kind intention.”

After saying these apologetic words, Eve hurriedly ran towards Qianzhi without thinking further.

No matter what, saving Zhizhi came first. That pitiful look in her eyes made Eve’s heart ache.

Too adorable…

And seeing Eve coming over, the pitiful expression on Qianzhi’s face became even more obvious.

But Eve didn’t notice that her mouth was slightly moving, as if quietly saying something.

“Well done, she’s coming over. You all act even more enthusiastically, later I’ll have auntie give you double wages.”

Then the people around Qianzhi became even more fervent.
