Upon entering the room, a warm sensation enveloped Gadel, causing his pale cheeks to flush.
He scanned his surroundings and realized the Witch Tower was nothing like he had imagined.
He had expected to see witch doctors with crazed looks in black robes, but the interior was surprisingly clean and organized.
The test tubes were neatly arranged on a test tube rack on the table.
The notes filled with ideas were bound together.
He could even smell the fragrance of jasmine in the air.
"Elder Faustina, you were up early today." A woman in casual clothing approached the elderly woman to help her stand on her feet.
Faustina gently held the woman's hand and replied with a smile, "His Majesty is visiting us. As the most senior in the tower, I have to welcome him."
The young woman paused, finally noticing Gadel who trailed behind them. "Greetings, Your Majesty. Please forgive your humble subject for not being able to bow."
"It's fine." Gadel waved his hands in dismissal. He looked at Faustina curiously, wondering about the elderly woman's true identity.
As if sensing his thoughts, she introduced herself without looking back. "I'm just a cook. As I age, I can't do much else. I'm just a freeloader hanging around here."
She seemed smaller when she shared her story, her voice tinged with loneliness.
The young woman disagreed with her. "Elder Faustina, everyone treats you like family. You're never an outsider!"
Looking at the girl who corrected her sternly, Faustina held her hand and comforted, "You're right. I shouldn't have said that. Forgive me, Bertha."
Watching the heartwarming exchange ahead, Gadel asked, "Are you tight on money?"
