Chapter 302: Brother Turtle Has Something to Say

Kanor actually remained neutral about who would become her "mentor" between Tina and Isabella.

Whether it was Sister Tina or Sister Isabella, both seemed like good and suitable choices for Master Lolth.

Their feelings for Master Lolth were both genuine, and Kanor felt quite positive about both of them.

It is like a fourth-grade girl from a single-parent family, facing two stepmoms who are both kind to her and nice to her father as her family is about to change.

One is beautiful and can help her father with his work, while the other is also very pretty and shares many interests with him.

If you ask Kanor which one she would choose, Kanor cannot decide.

So, even though this eight-year-old girl understands the hidden struggles of the torture tower and the power struggles in Hillenbrand Town very well, she has never expressed her thoughts or preferences, even as Master Lolth’s most favored student holding a significant vote.

After all, to her, it is acceptable whether Tina or Isabella becomes Master Lolth’s partner and her stepmother.

It would even be fine if both of them became her stepmothers.

But now things are different.

Sister Dorothy has also become part of this conflict!

Although she has known Dorothy for a shorter time, Kanor feels that Sister Dorothy, with whom she has shared learning extraordinary knowledge, grown together, and tried cooking during this time, is much closer to her than the two sisters, Tina and Isabella, with whom she has little interaction.

Among the options for stepmoms in a blended family, her best friend appeared.

The balance naturally began to tip.

Although for a real eight-year-old girl, a fourth-grade girl might find it hard to accept that her best friend could become her stepmom, Kanor was… overly mature.

Whether due to her own genius or the strange early education atmosphere she got from the landlady, Kanor’s way of thinking was not typical for an eight-year-old girl.

In fact, comparing her to Dorothy, it’s hard to say which of the two girls is more mature.

This is also based on the fact that Dorothy was very mature herself.

If compared to Tina, who had just arrived at the Interrogation Department, although the combined age of the two girls doesn’t even match a fraction of that elf’s age, there is no doubt that these two girls seemed far more normal and mature than that elf, who was once a bit weird and had concerning intelligence filled with colorful ideas.

Of course, the grown-up Tina has now used her previous two hundred years of experience to surpass expectations and become a truly reliable leader of Hillenbrand Town.

However, for Kanor, her feelings for Dorothy had clarified her choice about who she would support as her teacher.

"If this is your idea, I will do my best to help you, Sister Dorothy."

Kanor looked at the sleeping Dorothy and said seriously.

Although in the end, she must respect Master Lolth’s own wishes and preferences, if Master Lolth chooses Tina and Isabella in the end, she can still accept it just like before…

But before Master Lolth showed a clear wish, Kanor had already secretly decided to stand by Sister Dorothy’s side!

She wants to help Sister Dorothy win Master Lolth’s affection!

This point, even the incredibly confident genius girl Kanor, was a bit unsure if she could do it.

But… she would try her best!

At least by the time of Master Lolth’s wedding, she and Sister Dorothy should have no regrets!

Before then, she would not tell Sister Dorothy about her decision!

She wants to do all of this in secret!

On the other side of the kitchen in the Torture Tower, Lolth, who was working with powerful magical ingredients, looked unusually serious and did not notice how Kanor and Dorothy were changing on the other side.

However, there was still a fourth presence in the kitchen.

The turtle, which had been wandering around the kitchen while nibbling on a cucumber, had now made its way to Lolth’s feet.

"Dear Master," said the turtle, munching on the crunchy, sweet cucumber as it poked Lolth’s pant leg, "your top student over there seems to be holding a pep talk for herself…"

Clearly, this turtle had been secretly listening to a lot of Kanor’s self-talk just now.

Lolth heard the turtle’s words and turned her head slightly to look at her feet.

"Ah… I just told her not to push herself too hard… she must be a little nervous without Dorothy in class," Lolth thought and sighed, "maybe I should also sit in this afternoon and encourage her?"

"Are you sure this won’t make her more nervous?" the turtle asked, shoving the last piece of cucumber into its mouth, "Well… but this pep talk has nothing to do with the afternoon lesson anyway…"

"What else could it be?"

While using a small knife to handle the shellfish and removing the meat from their shells after using magic to defeat these creatures, Lolth continued to watch the turtle and asked.

The turtle, noticing Lolth looked completely confused, rolled its eyes and then changed its mind.

It showed a mysterious smile and said.

"No, it’s nothing. I might have heard wrong."

Lolth looked at the puzzling turtle and also felt confused.

"You’re asking for trouble again, aren’t you?"

"No, no, it’s just that I care about the lord," the turtle quickly shook its head and said, swiftly changing the topic, "Speaking of which, what’s wrong with little Dorothy? Is the ‘curse’ acting up again?"

"I don’t know, maybe she got too tired last night, so she became sick because her mind and body are too weak," Lolth sighed and said, "Even though we’ve temporarily kept her curse from acting up, not getting rid of it completely is really worrying."

Although Lolth did not guess that the reason Dorothy fell today was because of her own excited emotions, the overall reason was still correct.

Essentially, it was still because she was too weak; if she did not rest well for just a little, her body could easily have problems.

When the turtle heard this, it nodded thoughtfully.

"My lord, I have been learning about the history of the continent in recent years. I’ve caught up on what happened during the years I missed, regarding the origin of this young girl from the ‘Golden Peacock Dynasty’ and the ‘Diana’ family… I have also come across some very interesting ideas that might inspire you."

Upon hearing this, Lolth raised an eyebrow.

"No need to beat around the bush, just say it."
