Chapter 196: Is it funny that sisters haven’t made up after arguing?

Charlotte and Alice had met a few times before. Last year, they had even solved the incident of the evil dragon’s sudden appearance together.

However, compared to the Alice from before, the current Alice was not only taller and more physically developed, but her sword skills were also much more refined. Yet, her personality had become much colder.

Her face could no longer show the confident smile of the past; instead, it was a stern countenance that had to be maintained at all times.

Was it because she had become the Commander of the Holy Knights? Does becoming an adult mean one’s childishness completely disappears?

But no matter what, she and Elsa were still blood sisters. No matter how cold Alice was, she would surely show a smile in front of Elsa.

But unexpectedly, after Alice noticed Elsa, only a subtle flicker of surprise crossed her face. She didn’t greet Elsa directly but waited for Elsa to react.

Instead, upon noticing the familiar, short white-haired witch behind Elsa, she raised her hand in greeting.

“Yo, long time no see. You came with my sister!”

“Uh… I’m just here as a guest.”

Charlotte replied casually, her gaze shifting to Elsa beside her, who had been standing stiffly like a wooden puppet. To her surprise, a blush had appeared on Elsa’s face, and her eyes kept darting around, as if she couldn’t look directly at Alice.

Charlotte gently nudged Elsa’s waist and whispered to her.

“Do you princesses usually communicate with your eyes like this?”

“You’re so annoying! Just shut up!”

Elsa turned and glared at Charlotte, then greeted Alice.

“S-Sister Alice… long time no see… um… the weather is nice today!”

“Huh?” Elsa’s sudden stammering and clumsy attempt to start a conversation with the weather card made Charlotte look astonished.

Hearing Elsa’s words, Alice also looked up at the clear sky and then nodded slightly.

“The weather is indeed nice today. Elsa, you must have taken advantage of this good weather to come back. I didn’t know you would be back today. If I had known, I would have personally picked you up.”

“Eh? Mom Gracia must have forgotten to tell Sister Alice! After all, she’s so busy with national affairs, it’s not surprising if she occasionally forgets a small thing or two! By the way, we’re going to the palace to taste Chef Soma’s delicacies. Will you be joining us, Sister Alice?”

“I’m sorry, I still have some things to attend to. I won’t be able to return to the palace today.”

“Eh? Is that so?” Hearing Alice’s answer, Elsa couldn’t help but look a bit disappointed.

“You don’t have to look so disappointed. I just can’t come back today. Aren’t you staying here for a few days? There will be plenty of time later! I’ll stay by your side.”

Saying this, Alice gently ruffled Elsa’s hair. “Alright, my time is almost up. I have to keep going. You all go on ahead!”

After a simple goodbye to Elsa and Charlotte, Alice walked past them.

However, at that moment, Charlotte suddenly noticed a strange black aura appear at the nape of Alice’s neck, vanishing in an instant.

Charlotte, puzzled by this, stared at Alice’s retreating back until she disappeared into the crowd before finally relaxing.

‘Did I just see things?’

Watching Alice’s disappearing figure, Elsa’s face was also filled with a hint of sadness.

“I didn’t expect you to show such an interesting expression! It’s quite a surprise!”

Hearing Charlotte’s slightly mocking words, Elsa realized her reaction had been completely seen by her nemesis. She was startled and quickly tried to explain.

“Th-th-that’s just a simple, daily exchange between us sisters! Don’t you dare get the wrong idea! I don’t admire Sister Alice at all!”

“Tsundere is out of fashion now!”

“I’m not being tsundere!”

“Then why were you stammering just now? If it was just a normal daily exchange, shouldn’t you have acted more calmly? Why were you so shy?”

“Mind your own business, you outsider!”

“See, you’re avoiding it again. Avoiding it won’t solve anything. Just like last time… eh? Speaking of which, after you and your Sister Alice had a fight, when did you make up? Don’t tell me you haven’t made up yet? No wonder you both stood there waiting for the other to speak first. Honestly, you two sisters are so awkward. When will you ever make up? You should learn from me. Look, no matter what happens, my sister Shaula is always by my side.”

“So noisy!” Elsa said, pulling out her wand and using a Muting Spell on Charlotte’s endlessly chattering mouth, trying to block her speech.

Unfortunately, the moment Charlotte realized she had been muted, she instantly used a Dispelling Spell, breaking the restriction of the Muting Spell.

“A Muting Spell of this level can’t shut me up! If you don’t want to hear me speak, you should have used a blocking spell on your own ears.”

“Your top priority is to immediately change your name to a five-character one. Damn it, why did I invite you to the royal capital in the first place? I was just asking for trouble!”

After a moment of self-blame, Elsa regained her composure and her firm attitude, grabbing Charlotte’s hand and heading toward the palace.

“Alright, let’s stop wasting time here. Everyone is waiting for us at the palace.”

With Elsa’s efforts, she finally managed to drag the not-so-honest Charlotte back into the group, meeting up with Shaula, Yuffie, and Lyra and Lya.

“Listen up, I’ll say this one more time. Although we are all witches who can fly freely on magic broomsticks, unless it’s an emergency, you absolutely cannot fly over the Royal Palace! The palace guards will shoot you all down. If you don’t want to end up crashing, don’t even think about flying over the palace. Do you hear me?”
