After finishing the proposal for hunting the demonic beasts, the witches went back to their rooms for a short break and waited for dinner to begin. Before Iffy wandered off, Roland pulled her aside so that he could speak to her alone.
"I have something to tell you now so you won't be too shocked later on." He spoke as softly as possible, "I remember you once said that you had a friend named Annie before you were taken to the Bloodfang Association, right?"
"Yes... Your Majesty." Iffy blinked and was unsure as to why he suddenly raised that topic.
"Among the witches who arrived at Graycastle from the Kingdom of Dawn, other than the Taquila survivor who disguised herself as a maid, the rest all came from the Kingdom of Wolfheart."
Iffy's eyes opened wide. "Your Majesty, you mean..."
Roland nodded and said, "One of them was called Annie and she had also been rejected by the Bloodfang Association."
