As soon as he entered the house, a sense of warmth wrapped around Gadre, causing his otherwise white cheeks to flush slightly.
Gadre looked around, only to find that the Witch House was not what he had expected it to be.
Gadre had expected the Witch House to be filled with wizards dressed in black and looking mad.
Instead, the interior of the Witch House was indeed clean today.
Test tubes were placed neatly on top of tables on top of wooden shelves.
There were also scripts with thoughts written all over them bound together.
There was even a scent from jasmine flowers in the air.
“Granny Rice, why are you up so early today.”
A woman dressed in casual clothes came forward and familiarly held Granny Rice.
Granny Rice also gently shook the woman’s hand and said with a smile on her face.
“His Majesty has come to see us today, so I, the most senior person in the Witch House, have come out to greet us.”
The woman froze, and saw Gadrei, who was following behind Granny Rice.
“Greetings, Your Majesty, please forgive the inconvenience of the gra*s for not being able to carry luggage.”
“No harm, no foul.”
Jiad Lie waved his hand hastily and looked at Granny Rice with a hint of curiosity in his gaze.
What exactly was the identity of this old man who had brought himself in.
As if telepathic, Granny Rice did not even turn her head to clear up the doubts in Jiadre’s mind.
“I’m just an old man who cooks in the Witch House. I’m too old to do it anymore.”
“Just a freeloader who has the cheek to stay in the Witch House.”
Granny Rice’s tone was full of despondency, and the young woman who was supporting her on the other side became anxious at once.
“Granny Rice, I’ve said that everyone treats you like family, no one treats you like an outsider!”
Looking at the young girl beside her as she reprimanded herself with a serious face, Granny Rice just took her hand and said.
“Fine, it was Granny who said something wrong, don’t be angry little Bertha.”
Looking at the slightly cozy scene in front of him, Gadre said with a slight frown.
“Is the Witch House finances tight?”
Gadre remembered that he had allocated twenty million dollars for the Witch House since he had first ascended the throne.
That was not too much money, but it was not so tight either.
The young woman in front of him grunted coldly and said.
“It is not tight, and we suggest that you, Your Majesty, reduce the 200,000 to 20,000 next year, and we will ……”
Before the young woman could finish her words, she was given a gentle tug by Granny Rice.
It was as if she too knew the inappropriateness of her words and said no more.
At the back, Jiade Lie’s body shook, and an unbelievable look was revealed in his eyes.
He himself had allocated 20 million dollars to Wulou, a full 20 million dollars.
But now it was only 200,000 in the hands of Wulou.
A feeling of sadness and resentment rose from within Jiade Lie.
It seemed that those people full of civil servants and imperial officials were still not afraid enough of themselves.
As time pa*sed, several people arrived at the door of a room.
Granny Rice screwed herself over and said to Jiadrei.
“Your Majesty, the owner of the building is coming inside, so I will not accompany you inside.”
Gadrei nodded and went to the door and knocked gently.
“Please come in.”
After pushing open the door, the owner of the Witch House, Dougherty. Clementine was sitting in her office chair, looking through a book.
When she saw that the person who had entered was actually Gadre, Clementine’s face showed a slight surprise as she stood up and bowed.
“I, Daugherty Clementine, meet Your Majesty.”
A bitterness filled Gadre’s face as he saw the middle-aged woman’s face filled with fatigue.
Only after a long time did Gadre speak, “I just heard that girl outside say that the funding for the Witch House is only 200,000 per year?”
Clementine’s gaze was fixed as she bowed once more and said.
“Your Majesty, the young man is young and ignorant and has offended Your Majesty, so please forgive me!”
Gadre looked at Clementine and said bitterly.
“But the funding allocated by the widow to the Witch House is twenty million ……”
