Release that Witch - Chapter 483

[Chapter 476 Victory Day]

…

Before dawn, the door of Kakusim’s room was knocked loudly.

He yawned, and subconsciously wanted to get his coat, but he stretched his hand halfway before realizing that the first thing he did when he got up here was not to put on his coat.

The thick brick walls block the cold outside, and the incredible heating keeps the room warm. No matter how much wind and snow is outside, the house will not leak air everywhere or leak water from the roof like in the past. Such a good-quality house, put Going to Jinsui City is basically something only nobles can enjoy – of course, the area is a little smaller.

He opened the door, and the young man standing outside was his second-in-command Barracuda, “Why haven’t you got up yet, we must hurry up, Mr. Captain! We won’t be able to get a good seat if we go late!”

“Need so early?” Kakusim looked at the sky with his head. The morning sun had just peeked out from the clouds, and the soft morning light illuminated a small corner of the sky.

“Of course! I heard from the neighbor next door that there will be a performance by the Star Flower Troupe at the Victory Day celebration. If you get there late, you might not even be able to enter the square!”

“Okay, wait for me,” the old man shrugged , went back to the bedroom to change clothes, looking at another empty bed, he sighed softly.

Victory Day… I don’t know if there is such a celebration in Longsong Fortress, otherwise Vader would have missed it.

The two went out and walked towards the square area. Ropes were drawn from the tree trunks on both sides of the street, and colorful flags were hung under the ropes.

Coupled with the reflection of the morning light, the atmosphere of the whole town has become completely new.

From time to time, people merged into the main road from the side road and walked side by side with them, apparently planning to go to the square area.

Regarding the news about the victory celebration, Kakusim still heard it from Barracuda—in order to celebrate the safe passing of the Demon Moon in the territory, His Royal Highness named the first day after the Demon Moon as Victory Day. On this day, little The town not only takes a vacation for all staff, but also holds a grand bonfire banquet in the central square.

The deputy who heard the news ran over excitedly and invited him to visit with him. After thinking about it, he felt that being idle was idle, so the old man agreed to his proposal.

Walking to the square area, a wooden fence has been used to separate an open space around the stage in the central area. The police in black uniforms are maintaining order. Many people came earlier than them and raised the surrounding area by three or four floors.

The two quickly found a place close to the stage, chatting while waiting for the celebration to begin.

When the sun rose overhead, crowds of people gathered in the square, and the prince also appeared in the center of the stage at the right time.

As soon as he appeared, Kakusim heard overwhelming cheers, and everyone around him excitedly raised their hands, shouting long live to their highness!

The fourth prince smiled and waited for the voices of the people to subside. He raised his fist and said loudly, “Once again, we have defeated the evil!”

This time, there was an explosion in the sky above the square, and the deafening shout made the old man’s heart tremble. Such a lord who is so popular with the people.

“My people, no matter where you come from, whether it’s the western region, the northern region, or the eastern and southern corners, as long as you make contributions to this place, this honor belongs to you! It belongs to everyone who has contributed to Border Town. People of sweat and blood!” The prince’s calm and emotional voice seemed to possess magical powers, and he did not shout loudly, but it could clearly reach Kakusim’s ears.

“And today’s Victory Day is a day for you—the evil has not been completely wiped out, and it will come back sooner or later, but no matter how many times the enemy comes, as long as we are united and work together, victory will eventually belong to us!”

The old man had never heard a royal noble call “we” with commoners, but His Highness didn’t seem to care at all. He looked at the common people so naturally, without the usual arrogance and disdain of the nobles, as if in the eyes of the prince. Here, all the citizens and him are a whole.

Unbelievable, yet unexpectedly…coordinated.

“Now, let us cheer to our heart’s content and raise our glasses to celebrate this hard-won victory!”

“Long live Your Highness!”

“Long live Victory!” Cheers

resounded over the square, and everyone raised their right hands to pay respects to His Highness , even Kakusim is no exception.

“This is the lord worthy of my allegiance!” Barracuda said excitedly, patting his chest.

Then it was the turn of the Star Flower Troupe to come on stage, and many people whistled excitedly.

“I haven’t seen their performance for a long time.”

“Ms. Irene is still so beautiful!”

“But compared to Miss May, I always feel that it lacks a charm.”

“It’s called Ms. May, you don’t know Well, I heard that she is going to marry the chief knight soon, and His Royal Highness has sent congratulatory gifts.”

Hearing the surrounding discussions, Barracuda couldn’t help but wonder, “The name of the troupe is either the same as the theater or the same as the place name, why? The theater troupe in Border Town would have such a strange name?”

“You’re not from the Westland, are you?” someone immediately explained, “Ms. May and Ms. Irene are both from the Long Opera House. One is called the Flower of Tomorrow, and now they are in Border Town, so they are naturally called the Star Flower Troupe.”

“Look, it’s starting!”

This is not the first time Kakusim has watched a theater performance, but the content of the story is very novel ——It’s not about the same love among the nobles, but an interpretation of the history of the Western Territory… The actors on the stage played several ordinary people living in Border Town. Hesitation, being driven like a lamb, to the determination to stay in the small town and fight the brutal evil beast to the end, the whole story is full of twists and turns, exciting.

When the character you play dies from hunger and cold, or dies on the defense line in order to protect your loved ones, the people on the scene will empathize.

The old man soon devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. Even the out-of-town refugees who have just come to the Western Territory can feel the sacrifices and unremitting efforts made by the border people in order to survive.

When the drama ended with Victory Day, there was thunderous applause in the square.

The next scene left Kakusim stunned. A woman with long flaxen hair held a black thread, cut the wooden platform into pieces, and then directly used the pile of broken logs, UU Reading www.sonicmtl. com ignited a soaring bonfire.

Not only did the onlookers feel no fear, but they also shouted her name loudly, “Miss Anna! Miss Anna!”

As whole sheep were roasted on the bonfire, the atmosphere reached its climax.

The locals spontaneously formed a long chain and entered the square with strange dancing postures to start the last part of the celebration-listening to the explanation of others, as long as the dancing does not stop, the barbecue will continue to be replenished until midnight.

“Mr. Captain, shall we go too?” The barracuda swallowed, eager to try.

“I’m old and I can’t dance anymore,” Kakusim said shaking his head, “you go up with them.”

“Then… I’ll go there first,” he stuck out his tongue, “when I get the barbecue , I’ll bring it to you!”

Seeing the young man follow the crowd to the open space, the old man couldn’t help laughing.

He had been hesitating before, what name should be given to the stone boat assigned to him, so as to be both commemorative and not clichéd, and now he finally had an idea.

Just call it Victory, he thought.
