Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 54 Passenger
　　In the library, Abigail listened quietly to Angelica's story about Manuel.
　　But Angelica didn't know how Manuel felt after all. The story was narrated from Angelica's perspective, and the time span between them was so long that Abigail wondered if Angelica had omitted something.

　　"Why didn't Sister Angelica come back?"
　　"Because I forgot."
　　Angelica spread her hands helplessly.

　　"Or rather, I didn't expect Manuel to succeed. How did he grow from nothing to become the king who ruled a country? It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to know his experience."
　　"We have a lot of biographies here... Well, there doesn't seem to be much content about the doo-doo bird in the biographies..."
　　Abigail had read many books about the life of Emperor Manuel the Great, most of which included the description of him instructing his subordinates to look for the Dodo bird in his later years, but what Angelica described was not well known.

　　"This is normal, Abigail. Hundreds of years have passed. Who can tell what people thought a hundred years ago? Even I can only speculate that Manuel's real wish is for peace. He believes that only when Radeboyle is unified again can the war end. What he did was indeed to recover Radeboyle's old land. The people of Radeboyle need a spiritual leader to recover the lost land and fulfill the unfulfilled ambition of the Emperor, and Manuel happens to play the role of this spiritual leader."
　　No one really cared about Manuel's true thoughts. The people of Radeboyle embellished Manuel's life and fixed his image as a national hero in operas and stage plays.
　　Whenever war was imminent, the royal family would vigorously promote Emperor Manuel and encourage every man and magician to take up arms and restore the glory of Radeboyle.

　　Peace ultimately failed to come to this land. In the three hundred years after Manuel's death, every peace was a prelude to the next, more massive war.
　　"Well, at least Manuel is remembered in this way. He was able to rise from a commoner to a king. He is indeed a very talented guy."
　　"Sister Angelica, I... have a question..."

　　After hearing the memories about Manuel, Abigail's face looked a little sad.
　　"Sister Angelica had been with Emperor Manuel for half a year, but she forgot about him soon after she left... If Manuel didn't succeed in the end, would Sister Angelica still remember Manuel when she came back?"
　　Angelica heard the legend passed down by word of mouth in Radeboyle and saw the statue in the square that looked majestic without anger, which made her recall the grassroots boy she met that year. There is only one king. If Manuel had not succeeded and had been drowned in the crowd and become an unknown pawn as the witch had originally expected, would the witch still be able to remember the boy she met?

　　"I probably still have some impression of the last time I came to Radeboyle. But after a while, I probably won't remember it anymore. Witches have a long lifespan, but my memory doesn't allow me to remember everything. I can still remember some old friends, but I can't call out the names of some old friends, and I don't know where they are buried. There are also some casual acquaintances. It's been too long, and I will really forget them."
　　For example, when the witch just set out, she met a girl who was ready to take revenge on the doctor due to a misunderstanding. Angelica still remembers it now, but she might forget it completely during the next trip. To be honest, Angelica can't even remember the name of the town now, because it is really unremarkable and is just a town that can be seen everywhere.
　　Angelica would treasure every memory of her journey and engrave it in her heart. For example, between Angelica and Manuel, the witch left memories for Manuel, but to the witch, Manuel was just a passing visitor. In the end, until Manuel passed away suddenly, Angelica didn't know that he was still waiting for the witch to set foot here again.
　　"...Then, will Sister Angelica forget Abigail sooner or later?"

　　Abigail was depressed. Angelica had been teaching Abigail magic. Abigail studied very diligently. According to Angelica, she was almost ready to become a master.
　　Abigail could vaguely understand Manuel's feelings.
　　He (I) probably thinks that he (I) is special in the witch's heart.

　　Manuel thought that the witch would attach great importance to the agreement before leaving, but it was just a casual remark of the witch. A hundred years later, she could barely recall the promise of the past.
　　Abigail had not made any promises to Angelica. She had been with Angelica for less than half a year. When she thought that she would /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ be forgotten by Angelica one day, Abigail felt a little uncomfortable. Abigail didn't know how to express her current mood. She often saw Angelica talking about her past partners.
　　When recalling her deceased friends, Angelica inevitably felt lonely. She was the only one left in the groups she had been in before, and some even lost their descendants. Whenever Abigail saw Angelica like that, she couldn't help but think, is it right to leave a place in the witch's heart? Abigail was caught in a contradiction. She greedily wanted to occupy a place in the witch's heart, but she didn't want the witch to talk to herself at her grave one day in the future.

　　Angelica smiled... and flicked Abigail's forehead with her index finger.
　　"It hurts! Sister Angelica!"
　　"Hehe... such a sentimental look is not suitable for Abigail. If you must ask me to answer, I can only say that there is no guarantee. Time can change a lot. Look at the record of Manuel's marriage in his biography."

　　"Marriage? It seems complicated. Emperor Manuel seems to have had relationships with several women..."
　　People are willing to believe that heroes are surrounded by beautiful women. In addition to Manuel's queen in history, Manuel has countless rumored girlfriends.
　　"No one thinks Manuel is alone. In fact, he did get married and have a big family. Abigail might think it's a pity that I didn't get to meet Manuel in the end. But Manuel has his own life, and his life is not bound by the six months he spent with me."

　　Angelica touched Abigail's head. Her original plan was to teach Abigail magic and then separate from her.
　　"You and Manuel are just passers-by in my life, and vice versa. Abigail, you still have a long life ahead of you. One day in the future, you will meet someone more important than me."
