Otaku Witch-Chapter 512 - 413. Dorothy’s Promise

In fact, the people who were conflicted were not only the three from the Revelation Fleet—Sophia was also somewhat uncertain.

"So, Sophia, are you planning to accept their help?"

Dorothy asked her roommate with a touch of curiosity.

"I'm considering it, but I'm not entirely sure myself,"

the Pure White Witch furrowed her brows lightly, her mind still weighing the pros and cons.

Based on her years of conversation with this net friend on the Magic Network, their interests did not clash. The Revelation Fleet needed a leader with a legitimate claim to being a descendant of the God King, whereas she needed the strength of the Revelation Fleet to amplify her own influence and reduce the resistance she would face when running for the position of God King Holy Child.

After all, revitalizing the Angel Kingdom was part of her plan upon ascending to power; the stronger the Angel Kingdom, the stronger her own forces would be in turn.

Therefore, looking at it from this angle, she shared common interests with the Revelation Fleet, making them natural allies.

Unfortunately, what the members of the Revelation Fleet did not know was that her claim to being a rightful descendant of the God King was not very convincing since, apart from the bloodline of the God King's direct lineage, she also bore the blood of the Lord of Glory—who was considered the greatest sinner in the Witch World.

And if that truth were to be exposed, would the loyalty of the Revelation Fleet remain?

It was very likely that not only would it vanish, but they might also turn hostile, given that unlike the decayed Ancestral Court, these awakened Angel Witches were truly devoted to their kin and sincerely believed in the God King. Such passionate people could not tolerate a speck of dirt in their eyes.

Once her other half's lineage was exposed, the more the Revelation Fleet respected her now, the more they would despise and hate her when the time came.

Therefore, keeping such a risky blade that could stab its master in the back at any moment was extremely dangerous.

"Uh, you're worried about that? Then why not just be upfront about it and let them choose for themselves?"

After listening to her roommate's troubles, Dorothy cocked her head and said thus.

"Miss, are you silly? How could such a thing be stated so openly?"

The Pure White Witch rolled her eyes at the suggestion from the young lady.

If she confessed her sinner's bloodline now and the Revelation Fleet turned against her right away, it was already tough enough for her, bearing the blood of a criminal, to qualify for the selection of the God King Holy Child against the pressure of the Ancestral Court. If she also had to deal with the Revelation Fleet as a new enemy—especially since she'd summoned them herself—wouldn't it be like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own foot?

"Miss, the world isn't so wonderful that everything can be discussed openly."

Sophia looked somewhat helplessly at her naïve roommate, feeling a bit exasperated by the young lady's adorable innocence at times.

"I was actually planning on keeping it from them and using them for now. At least until the selection for the Saint Heir. Let them be the knife in my hand for a while, which should be of some use. As for what happens after the selection..."

The Pure White Witch stopped mid-sentence.

After all, she was definitely going to use Angel Strength during the selection ceremony, and it wouldn't stay hidden for long, so there was no point in continuing the deception.

Once she was successful in the selection, everyone would be delighted. When endorsed by the God King, her freedom would be assured, and even her criminal bloodline would no longer be an issue. The Revelation Fleet would then fully recognize her as their leader.

But if she failed, then all would be lost. If the fact that she had secretly restored her Angel Strength was exposed, not even her teacher could save her then. The fuming Judgment Court would take her away, and chances were she would be either permanently sealed or executed on the spot—so a dead person would no longer have any worries or troubles.

"But aren't you afraid that your bloodline might be revealed before the selection begins? Although few know of your identity, it's not as if there's no one aware. Some old folks in the God King's big family do know, and what if someone breaks the Academy Head's gag order..."

Dorothy voiced her concerns.

"Miss, there's no such thing as a one hundred percent success rate; there's always some risk to consider,"

the Pure White Witch once again looked at the naïve young lady and sighed.

This young lady was truly adorably foolish.

However, the homebody witch spoke irritably in response,

"Give it a break, Sophia, don't think I don't notice you secretly thinking in your heart how silly and naive I am—the look on your face gives it away."

Dorothy complained to her roommate, who from the very start had been watching her with an "affectionate" gaze.

"I'm not being silly. You're the real fool here, Sophia."

The homebody witch widened her eyes as she stared at her roommate, her expression becoming serious, and continued telepathically.

"Only the weak need such deception and conspiracy, the burden of the risk that lies will be exposed, because they are opportunists with no other path."

"Sophia, I've said it before—why do you always like to put yourself in the position of the weak? You are in fact strong, and the strong should behave as befits the strong."

"But I'm not any kind of strong person, am I? Miss, I only have myself..."

The Pure White Witch was pierced by the exceptionally pure gaze of the young lady and subconsciously averted her eyes.

This young lady knew only how to jabber on, pragmatic in her words, but what kind of strong person was she? The strength she actually possessed was hers alone, and the power of a student who had just become a Great Witch was hardly worth mentioning.
