Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Belinda opened the fan to cover her face, trying to hide her embarrassment: "Oh, how can I..."

Feilin sighed and said, "The sound of the clip is a bit disgusting..."

"..." Belinda's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the black tea in her mouth flowed out from the corners of her mouth. Her expression was so tense that veins bulged.

I always feel that this is not just about getting acquainted with the person you are fiancéeing, but rather that you have to go out on a date with a bullet in your butt.

Filin behaved elegantly and gracefully: "By the way, you smell like alcohol."

Belinda turned her head and sniffed herself like a cat with its fur standing up from the soles of its feet. "Is there anything?"

The true colors will be revealed if you tease it a little.

Feilin sighed again: "Now I have it."

Belinda sat down quickly and covered her face with the fan again: "Are you cheating me?"

Feilin tilted his head: "I heard that your guards searched for you all night on the streets of the imperial capital last night?"

Belinda's voice was broken: "That's because..."

Feilin pressed his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I just ran out to play secretly. Everyone has their own wayward moments. You look like you must have encountered something interesting. I have never been so troubled since I was a child. In the family, we are always forbidden to do most things on the grounds of 'not being in line with our status', so I envy you."

By using envy as a breakthrough point to arouse Belinda's curiosity, Filin broke the conventions of aristocratic etiquette and talked about many mundane things, mostly expressing how nice it would be if he were an ordinary person. This topic successfully resonated with Belinda.

Belinda relaxed a little unconsciously: "You don't seem much older than me."

Feilin said seriously: "You are 15, I am 20, there is indeed not much difference, so please give me more advice, my fiancée."

Belinda was a little embarrassed: "Your statement is quite strange, what about fiancée..."

Feilin smiled and said, "Your voice now is your true self, right? Are you finally relaxed?"

Belinda lowered her head in surprise, no longer nervous as she was at first. "It's okay. I heard that the people of the Morgana family are arrogant and look down on others. They never look people in the eye, but you are not like that."

Both parties, burdened by the family's KPI, feel that they have reached a crossroads in life. If Belinda feels that the engagement is a grave, then Philin will only feel that it is pressure, which means that there is one more person to take care of.

The meeting with Belinda was an accident, and the marriage was a continuation of family interests, without any special feelings.

In fact, both of them were lucky. As the engagement partners, they were both of the right age to marry. Otherwise, Belinda might have married a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. This was not uncommon in marriages. The Count of Xie was still marrying and having children. He was so willful to become an immortal. For a young man in a family who was manipulated by others, the probability of the two of them getting together was about the same as the probability of a fish being killed by a car.

Belinda, who had relaxed, suddenly stretched. Halfway through the stretch, she looked at Filin awkwardly. Filin waved his hand to signal her not to worry: "Go ahead."

Belinda seemed to have been freed from the chains, but unfortunately a maid came over to pour tea and almost gave Belinda a stitch in the side, so she quickly returned to her original reserved state.

After the overall communication, it seems that this is a girl in her rebellious period. Although she wants to break free from the shackles of her family, she is also aware of her destiny. Feilin finds it quite interesting. After all, he feels relieved that Belinda can be more rational.

There are some overprotected love-brained canaries among the nobles, who are too self-centered and difficult to get along with. There are also a group of villain daughters, who are troublesome women cultivated by their families and are also difficult to get along with.

Soon, the topic became more relaxed, and Belinda gradually let down her guard, just like she was willing to eat cat food handed to her by a stranger, and gradually accepted Filin. This was not love at first sight, but just a compromise after knowing the fate. The engagement could not be violated, but seeing that the engagement partner was easy to get along with, the resistance in her heart was reduced a little.

Belinda was indeed pretty, with long pink curly hair and the innocence of a young girl, but unfortunately she had a big mouth. After getting to know each other, she began to speak freely: "Filin, how do you think we should get along after we get married? I have no idea about being a good wife and mother. By the way, will you have an affair like my father? Will you marry a second or third wife? What type of woman do you really like?"

"Is this something you can ask face to face?"

"Why can't I ask? I am nominally your first wife, right?" Belinda said, looking down at her reflection in the teacup. "I feel relaxed now, but I feel like you are pretending. You are so kind and gentle to me, as if you are acting, as if you are trying hard to play the role of a good fiancé."

Feilin shook his head gently: "This is an occupational disease of mine. I'm used to it. I've been stared at by countless eyes since I was a child. I've even forgotten what my original personality was. It's like a gem being polished into different shapes."

Belinda leaned forward, one hand on the table, and tried to reach out with the other hand to point at Filin's eyes: "Look at my eyes, the magic eyes unique to our Camillia family."

Feilin looked at Belinda, her eyes sparkled slightly, with an unusual sense of beauty emerging from the center: "Very beautiful."

Belinda said, "In this state, I can see the purest state of a creature. Just like using an object as a metaphor, the way you look now, Philin, um... how should I put it, it's very interesting. You are a black cat licking its paws."

Feilin became alert in his heart: "You are really careless. The magic eye must be a special talent of yours. You actually told me so carelessly."

Belinda smiled and said, "What's the use of my magic eye? It's useless for research or fighting. My dad said that I should just eat and wait for death in this life. What's the harm in telling you? I majored in jewelry appraisal in college and plan to open a jewelry store after graduation. I can't think of anything else. By the way, can we have pets after we get married? Do you mind if I raise a cat or a dog?"

Filin slowly began to cover up his falsehood: "You can do whatever you like. If you feel that you will be freer alone, I can leave you alone."

Belinda's expression suddenly became much lonelier: "Well... so after we get married, are you going to leave me alone?"

Feilin realized that he had said the wrong thing: "No, I have no experience in this kind of thing. If it makes you hate it..."

Belinda stood up again and slapped the table with both hands. "What are you talking about! Since you have decided to get married, you must take responsibility for me and love your wife well! You must eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together. If you are busy, you must not refuse me when I bring you food and feed you. You must take time out every day to go for a walk with me, and you must travel at least twice a year! At night, you must... must... must... sleep together! You are not allowed to spend the night outside... If I find out that you are having an affair outside, you will never be able to enter my room!"

Feilin leaned back. He really couldn't figure out this girl's personality. Last night she was partying on singles night because she hated her engagement, but now she seemed to want to get married right there. Was she really a love-brained person?

After saying that, Belinda shrank back, turned sideways, and pulled her hair on both sides to cover her face. From the side, Philin saw that her face was red, from her neck to her ears, which made his heart beat faster for some reason.

Well, Feilin suddenly understood a little bit. It is also very interesting to have a fiancée when traveling to another world.

However, he kept finding different ways to tease the little girl. Time passed quickly. When he saw the sun was about to set, Philin was a little panicked. Before the evening banquet, he found an excuse to rest alone and wait for the power of Qingyue's protection to appear. He then used a false disguise to cover it up. He felt very troubled. Thinking of Belinda's pair of magic eyes whose properties he didn't understand, he decided to be careful.

The scale of the dinner was not large, but young people from the core aristocratic families of the Stral Empire came, and the news of Filin and Belinda's engagement was officially confirmed.

As the saying goes, love what you do. As soon as Filin left Camillia's mansion, he parted ways with the head maid Cloverfield. He would go home in two days at the latest. He would use these two nights to continue looking for the witch in the imperial capital.

Of course, the main thing is to act alone, so there is no need to resist Qingyue's protection. If you become Fili, then just become Fili, with less pressure.

In the vast Stral Empire, it is almost impossible to find wild witches. However, after asking around, I found a witch's handyman shop, which is said to be a place that will do anything for enough money.

Fili had thought that the witch's handyman shop would be very lively. When she visited in the middle of the night, the lights were still on. She quietly came to the door, but could feel that there were three witches talking about something inside.

Yes, it can be confirmed that there are three witches. The blood connection will not lie. They are quite powerful. One is a hero and two are transcendents. They are considered good among witches, but the topic they are talking about is very strange.

The witch sounded calm: "Albel, it's time to make up your mind to move. We can't make ends meet by renting such an expensive house in Strahl."

The witch's voice sounded lively: "Yes, it's a rare opportunity to open a business, and the commissions I got almost all paid for the rent..."

The witch's voice sounded quite majestic: "What are you talking about? Stral is the most prosperous empire on the continent. There is money and wealth everywhere, and there is no discrimination against witches. As long as we gain a foothold here, we will definitely make a lot of money!"

The calm witch calmly analyzed: "But it's been ten years. Have you heard about what happened over there in Miriam? A new great witch has appeared over there. It is said that the locals also worship witches. If we open a handyman shop there, business will definitely be booming."

The lively witch said what she wanted to say: "At least it's better than going hungry for nine meals in three days here."

The witch, who looked quite dignified, denied loudly: "If we give up our base in Strahl, it would be like admitting defeat. You see, the guilds of other races here are quite large, but we witches lack prestige. What do you think..."

Before she finished her words, Fili gently pushed the door open and the bell at the vent made a pleasant sound.

The dignified witch immediately rushed back behind the table and said, "Welcome, guest. This is the Wanshiwu. May I ask what you would like to do for me?"

Then, they fell into silence. Fili and the other person looked at each other, and the other person gradually showed a surprised expression: "I didn't expect that we were from the same tribe. This compatriot seems to be a stranger. Is it your first time to come to the Yorozuya? This is a Yorozuya that can do anything as long as you entrust it, even if it is illegal. As long as you use money, you can settle anything. So, what can you do for me, sir?"

Fili confirmed that the Witch of Heroes was the owner of this Yorozuya Shop. The other two were now sitting aside, silent.

Fili gently took out a bag of gold coins and said, "Hello everyone, I am a witch who has just arrived. I would like to know if there are any news about other witches in the imperial capital? I would like to visit my fellow witches."

Alubel, a witch who looked quite dignified, narrowed her eyes. When she saw that it was a money bag, her eyes lit up. "I'm sorry, the content of this commission is very troublesome. I do know the news of several of my kind, but they all live in silence. It is said that some have left Strahl and gone to Miriam. If you want to visit other witches, you may be disappointed. Most of the news will only leave you empty-handed."

Fili took out two gold coins and pressed them on the table and pushed them over: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Alubel slammed the table and said, "Because of career! You see, there are less than three-digit witches in the whole country of Strahl. Most of them moved away after hearing the news about Miriam, and the remaining ones completely secluded themselves from the world. We witches are no worse than other races, so why can't we build our own brand and reputation? You know, Strahl is full of gold, and with our strength, we can definitely make a career."

These reasons were convincing, but Fili turned her head slightly and saw the dried and incomplete words on the doorplate, and three empty bowls on the table that were as empty as a sterile room, and she fell silent.

Fili couldn't help but ask, "Do you have to be in Strahl? Can't you go somewhere else? If you were in Miriam, you would have at least a hundred times more job opportunities than here. You would be so busy with orders every day that it's not impossible for you to become a witch that everyone praises."

"Really? Miriam is so lively now? Then I... cough cough!" Alubel got excited for a moment, and then coughed twice, "I have dignity too! By the way, is there anything else you want to know? We in the Wanshiwu are quite familiar with Strahl. If you want to travel around, the three of us can accompany you."

Fili probably noticed that these three witches were not the type to stay at home. At least they were willing to go out and have fun. They were also quite capable, so she had two ideas: "First, I am actually a witch from the Black Cat Pavilion in the capital of Miriam. I would like to invite you three to stay in our Black Cat Pavilion and open a handyman shop in the hotel. Second, let's talk about the local situation. I am looking for reliable assistants for a friend and can hire you."

Alubel sat up straight, his eyes grim. "Oh? What do you mean by moving in? What's the amount of money for employment?"

Fili raised her finger and said, "Move into our Black Cat Pavilion. The three of you can continue to run the Wanshiwu Shop. We will only take 10% of the commission as rent. As for hiring, a friend wants to hire three witches as consultants soon. Each of them will receive four gold coins per day."

Alubel pointed at himself and said, "I'm a hero! I have to pay more."

Fili half closed her eyes: "Meals are provided every day, and there is no limit on midnight snacks."

"make a deal!"

Chapter 136 Love Cycle

After coming out of the witch's handyman shop, Fili decided to hire them as consultants. Because of her relationship with them, Fili still wanted them to go to Miriam to work for her. There were quite a few witches like these three who were active.

There are really many strong people in the imperial capital. Apart from the listed workshops like the Wanshiwu, Fili couldn't find any other witches after sensing around. According to the addresses given by the Wanshiwu, Fili searched two places but both were empty.

Just when Fili was about to give up, her nose moved, and she walked a dozen meters in the direction of the feeling, heard a noisy sound, and a white-haired figure quickly appeared in the alley, followed by guards.

"Miss Seven! Stop messing around! It's not safe at night! Come home with us!" The pursuer behind seemed to be crying.

"Don't even think about it!" The deserter in front was firm and resolute.

Fili stopped at the street and saw a gust of wind running past her, and then a group of people chased after her.

This familiar feeling came over her, and Fili felt a little melancholy. What kind of person is this fiancée?

After running for a few minutes, the group turned a corner from the street in front and suddenly came back. Fili had just come out of the alley and was blocking the middle of the road.

"Philip?" A surprised voice.

"It's this witch again!" the guards wailed.

"Let's run away together!" Belinda grabbed Fili's hand and said, "Take me with you!"

The next second, Fili picked up Belinda and jumped up. Her figure twisted and disappeared in the air in an instant. The false power disappeared in an instant, and the pursuers were instantly blinded. They held their heads and banged their heads against the wall, collapsed to the ground, beat their chests and stamped their feet, and let their seventh lady run away again.

Bring Belinda to a safe place and jump to the nearby bell tower in two jumps. From here you can see the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital.

Fili put her down: "Why did you sneak out again?"

Belinda seemed to be in a great mood. She jumped down from Fili's arms, brushed her hair, and looked at the moon: "Celebrate!"

Fili couldn't understand what she was thinking, but that didn't affect Belinda's good mood.

The girl was on the edge of falling, she opened her arms and happily turned around twice, then turned back and held Fili's hand: "By the way, we are also very lucky. We can actually meet each other for two consecutive days. Fili, do you live nearby? Do witches like to go out at night? And..."

Fili had a headache: "Stop, stop, stop, I'm just visiting the Stral Imperial Capital, but witches do like to travel at night. I'm done, but why are you so happy? It's like you ate bee shit."

Belinda clasped her hands together and placed them on her chest. "Today I met my fiancé. It felt like a dream. He is a very handsome young man. He is not as rigid and arrogant as I imagined. We can get along well after a little communication. I feel like I have been seen through, but he doesn't care about my willfulness. We are like a princess and a knight in a fairy tale."

Fili drew out a long "oh" and said, "Are you in love with him?"

Belinda looked down, gently holding her cheeks with both hands, and blushed: "I'm not sure, right? I was so excited today that I couldn't sleep at night, so I ran out secretly. In fact, I want to meet him tomorrow. Although you can't know a person's heart by his appearance, I believe that Philin is a gentle person. Maybe I can be happy if I marry him."

Fili stroked her chin and looked at her with interest: "Didn't you say that yesterday?"

Belinda pointed at her chin with her finger. "Actually, I have a special magic eye that can see a person's essence. Probably... essence, right? My fiancé is like a black cat licking its wounds. He has many bandages wrapped around his body, but cats are animals that would regard their tails as enemies. He is used to these wounds. He seems aloof, mature, and tolerant, but it's all forced out. He is a person who works much harder than me. Although it's easy and comfortable to talk to him, I always feel like I'm causing him trouble."

Fili closed one eye. Although it was quite difficult to find topics to talk about with women, it was quite fun to make Belinda happy. She even wanted to buy her some melon seeds later.

Fili shrugged, "Okay, so what are your plans for tonight?"

Belinda stroked her chest and said, "I don't know. I don't have any plans for today. Oh, by the way, can I go to the gambling house to get yesterday's money..."

Fili turned around and went downstairs: "I have other things to do."

Belida hurriedly chased after him, talking and laughing.

Belinda was obviously much more cheerful today. Fili's goal was to find the witch who used to live in the imperial capital according to the address provided by the Yorozuya. Since Belinda had no target, she followed Fili in the search. After that, they found two more witches, but they had also moved away. Fili also saw a message in an empty house saying that they were going to Miriam.

Fili was a little worried at first, but after using magic to investigate, she found that the houses were all tidied up and the owners had taken good care of them or sublet them before leaving. It was not a sudden disappearance.

There is not much witch hunting in Strahl, and the impression of witches is a little prejudiced, but there are also many open-minded people. It is better than most theocratic countries, and there is no trend of persecuting witches in society.

It seems that Miriam is really going to rise as the Witch Kingdom, but...

The witch's only offspring are witches, witches are immortal, some witches awaken after birth, witches are very home-bound, and in the long run, Miriam might become more yin than yang.

On the way, Belinda kept looking for topics: "Philip, you said that a person who appears to be gentle always shows kindness to others. Will others treat him well?"

Fili couldn't help but look back: "Why do you ask this?"

Belinda rubbed her hair and looked troubled. "I just heard that the Morgana family has a very strict family tradition and a strict hierarchy. I heard from my father that the competition among their descendants is very intense. Will someone like Filin be bullied in that family?"

Fili couldn't help but give Belinda a knife, hitting her on the forehead: "This is not your business, you might as well think about how to be a good hostess."

Soon Belinda changed the topic, starting from raising dogs and cats, to what color wedding dress to wear at the wedding, whether she should learn to cook and make pastries, etc. She seemed to have endless things to say.

The two walked to the address of another witch, and this time someone responded after they knocked on the door.

Finally found a new witch.

The other person was a standard short man, and looked about twelve years old, a little young: "Huh? How strange, we are from the same tribe, please come in."

Fili introduced herself directly: "Hello, I am the witch from Miriam."

Filin's mission is to investigate the witches of the imperial capital, and there is no specific goal in mind, no matter how many can be found, the degree of fabrication has been thought out, and as for actually finding the witch, of course, in the identity of Fili, it is strongly recommended to go to Miriam.

From now on, the more witches Miriam has, the more potential workers there are, which is more beneficial to Fili's power.
