Otaku Witch

Although receiving a familiar as a perk for newbies at the Judgment Court was beneficial, Dorothy could search the whole world for a familiar that suited her tastes.

However, this method was extremely inefficient, as she was ultimately not very familiar with this world, and searching for a needle in a haystack could take who knows how long.

If there was a recommendation from a local expert, particularly a seasoned Beastmaster who was well-acquainted with the Magical Beasts of this world, it would naturally be much easier for her to find a suitable familiar.

As the Female City Lord and the strongest Beastmaster in the Beast Taming World, Olivia, the Lord of the World, was naturally the person who knew this world the best.

Dorothy was never the type of witch who was stubborn or refused to heed other's advice; she preferred to analyze each situation carefully, and when facing unfamiliar matters, she was quite willing to listen to the advice of professionals. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Moreover, she also disliked taking advantage of others. While the threats made earlier by the Masked Senior Sister were useful and even without offering any benefits on her part, the Female City Lord in front of her would probably not dare to refuse her request, Dorothy still considered herself a good person and preferred to avoid using villainous tactics if possible.

In this magic world, where notions of destiny indeed existed, she feared becoming the subject of retribution for her bad deeds.

Equivalent exchange, fair trade, these were the principles her Mother Superior abided by, and Dorothy found them very sensible.

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

Upon hearing this proposal, Olivia also lifted her head excitedly, looking happily and somewhat unexpectedly at the Dragon King's Envoy in front of her.

It seemed her previous guess was indeed correct; this envoy's status was truly higher than those in the past. Not only did she know things others didn't, but she even seemed to be able to influence the decisions of the current ruler of this world, the "Dragon King."

For a moment, the bold idea she had just given up almost surged back to life, yet when she looked at the Dragon King's Envoy, watching the clowns' exaggeratedly smiling mask on her face, a chill of unknown origin went through her heart.

She once again recalled how the terrifying Dragon King had trampled her pride over a decade ago, her body slightly shivering with extreme fear that made her feel nauseous and unable to breathe.

In the end, she still gave up on that bold idea, preferring peaceful solutions over such extreme measures, as she couldn't afford the consequences of angering the "Dragon King" anew.

"Of course it's true. Although I cannot guarantee success, I will certainly try my best,"

Dorothy replied.

Although she only had to ask, Mother Superior would likely agree, not just for a mere visitation slot but perhaps even to release those Tamed Beasts.

However, the Home Martial Soul would not likely go to that extent.

Since she had already refused to take over the family business, it was naturally inappropriate for her to meddle in the Yemengade Family affairs; she had no right to request Mother Superior to change her decisions, nor did she possess the audacity to make such demands.

After all, if those "hostages" were lost, the family's control over this great world would greatly diminish; a young lady who had refused to take over the family business hardly had the clout to demand the family to sacrifice interests to satisfy her trivial benevolence.

If possible, Dorothy wanted to be a good person, but she wasn't outrageous enough to expect everyone to be good.

She wanted to be a good person because doing good made her feel pleased and morally satisfied; fundamentally, it was just a form of self-gratification.

She wasn't trying to be a hero tasked with saving the world; she wasn't that enlightened.

If a good deed didn't make her feel happy but vexed instead, then such a deed was meaningless for her, better left undone.

Being a good person within her capabilities was her life's motto.

Therefore, providing a visitation slot was the limit of what she could do, and this degree was the best she could achieve by playing the dutiful daughter to her mother. Anything more wasn't something an ordinary daughter could do, but rather the privilege of an heir.

Dorothy paid great attention to the boundaries in relationships; what to say and what to do at what level of intimacy had a standard in her mind, and she did not easily overstep.

She wasn't the type to make demands or act wantonly just because the other party was her own mother; parental love was no excuse for fearlessness.

When they had just recognized each other as mother and daughter, she was even embarrassed to accept small gifts from her mother, fearing she would owe something she couldn't repay later.

It was only the recent special training that had warmed up their relationship significantly, removing that initial estrangement; otherwise, she wouldn't even dare to make such a request.

In fact, she wouldn't make such a request without offering something in return; if Mother Superior agreed, she would also consider sending a suitable gift to express her filial piety.

After all, in her view, a good relationship needed to be maintained with care. If it was just a one-sided demand with no reciprocation, even the deepest of feelings would wear down with the passage of time.

So, although she was very tempted by the excellent familiars recommended by the Female City Lord, if Olivia found the bargaining chip insufficient, Dorothy would regretfully have to give up.
