Otaku Witch

She didn't want to die, she wanted to live...

But everything was already too late, her strong Knight's body had become tattered under the fierce assault of the Power of the Moon, and she would soon be completely dissolved by this pure Power of the Moon.

However, as her consciousness was on the verge of collapsing, a gentle Strength enveloped her, healing all her wounds, calming her restless heart as if she were back in the womb, like an infant...

The ritual was ultimately successful, and Sidwell became the newly born Moonlit Lionheart Rabbit. When she awoke again, she was no longer in the Royal Palace, but atop the Ark of the Moon, fashioned from the remnants of the old world.

Surrounding her, a group of "old acquaintances" gathered, hmm, indeed all very familiar, some from the same orphanage who had bullied her, some who laughed at her on the street, some who played villains and beat her, as well as those she had beaten, and from whom she had stolen tricks...

These were all veteran actors who had played parts in the drama of her life.

Only now, everyone wore neat military attire and knelt loyally before her, waiting for her orders.

Because whether she liked it or not, she was already the new Queen of the Moon.

That mother of hers, whom she hated to the bone, the previous queen, had perished along with the old world.

No, more precisely, she had died before the world was destroyed.

She died to save her.

Sidwell remembered that gentle Strength that had healed her, pulling her back from death's brink, and for a moment, she was baffled.

She never understood whether that woman had scripted even the final confrontation, or if her own choice to end her life was expected by her.

The queen's ultimate sacrifice to save her – was it because she was an important tool of salvation, or simply because she was her daughter?

Every time she recalled that last gentle embrace, Sidwell felt confused and reluctant to think any further.

She had actually wanted to leave it all behind, for she was finally free and didn't want to see those tricksters who had manipulated her any longer.

But, aboard the Ark, besides those tricksters, there were many more innocent clan members, especially the children who had not yet grown up.

Whenever she thought of those children's trusting eyes, believing that she, the new queen, would lead them to a new home, Sidwell just couldn't bring herself to take a step away.

Without her as the navigator, the Ark of Salvation would become a living coffin, for the societal structure of the Moon Rabbits meant that without a leader, society could hardly function normally.

In the end, Sidwell decided to temporarily take on the role of the queen, but only for a short while. Once she found a new home for her people, she would leave to pursue her own freedom.

The only problem was, she was a Prospective Warrior who had aimed to become the Knight of the Moon, and she had no idea how to be a queen.

Leading wars was something she was fairly good at, but governance, that she knew nothing about.

And just as she was scratching her head in frustration in the queen's office, she pulled open a desk drawer and, in the empty drawer, found a notebook.

"The Salvation Prophecy Even a Foolish Daughter Can Understand"

Really, Sidwell almost tore the notebook into pieces – that damned mother was dead and still wanted to control her?

But...

Ultimately, as the Ark became more and more chaotic, she tiredly opened the notebook and, following the steps within, issued orders one by one to bring orderly conduct to the entire Ark.

At the end of the notebook was the queen's final Prophecy.

"Foolish daughter, this is my last Prophecy, not for the tribe, but for you, the only thing I can leave you. Whether you listen or not is up to you. I truly can't be bothered with you anymore."

"Go check out the Witch World; your fated one is in the Witch Academy. All you need to do is wait in the market for the most cunning liar."

Sidwell scoffed at this Prophecy.

Ha, as if I would listen to your arrangements again.

But, her original destination was indeed the Witch World, where she needed to procure a batch of weapons and embark on an expedition to seize a new World of the Moon and settle her people.

And yet, after purchasing the weapons, she inexplicably found herself in the so-called talent market.

Alright, she would just go in and have a look, just one look; she didn't believe she would encounter that liar by chance.

...So Tutu thought...
