Miss Witch’s Devotion Has Gone… Twisted

Chapter 298: The Girl's Inferiority Complex

"Mother, I need to talk to you about something."

That night, Luna sat with her mother, looking troubled.

Luna's mother was gazing at the ceiling, at the light bulb Luna had brought back from the Uridia Kingdom.

She had only heard from other women before that some great nobles used these things to replace candles. Now that she was using one herself, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction welled up from the depths of her heart.

So much so that she didn't even care about the electricity consumption now, insisting on letting others see that she too was a vain person, but one with self-awareness.

"What is it? Is it about your Master Mentor?"

Luna's mother smiled, knowing her daughter's worries were always written on her face.

In the past, when Luna's mother brought this up, Luna would blush with embarrassment and tell her to stop. This time, Luna just sighed.

"Mother, do you really think I have a chance? There are so many outstanding women around Master Mentor.

"Just talking about this trip to Uridia, Master Mentor met a Bloodline member and a singer. They are both very beautiful and have high enough status. I, an ordinary person, simply can't compare."Luna was right. Lilith was just a half-vampire, considered lowly among Vampires, but compared to ordinary people, half-vampires were still superior enough.

Not to mention Cecelia, she was the veritable second musician. Why second? Because the first was Loren.

Both of these women could crush Luna in every aspect.

Luna's mother didn't comfort her daughter immediately, instead continuing to ask about their situation.

"Then... are they on good terms with Master Mentor? You were personally chosen by Master Mentor from the Gedlan Royal Magic Academy. Master Mentor even hit the Princess for you."

Thinking of this, Luna's mother felt a lingering fear. She couldn't sleep well for days back then, terrified they would be blamed after Loren left.

However, she had underestimated Loren's status. After Loren left, not only were they not blamed, the new King personally brought the Princess to apologize.

That day, Luna's family became famous throughout the country. Because of this, people often whispered behind their backs that they relied entirely on Loren, that without Loren they were nothing.

To this, Luna's mother just wanted to rush up to them and say, "I *am* relying on Master Mentor! If you have the ability, get your daughter to follow Master Mentor too!"

Hearing her mother's question, Luna shook her head.

"That vampire sleeps with Master Mentor every day. The other singer is also on very good terms with Master Mentor; they even stayed in the same room.

"Even without their addition, every single person around Master Mentor is someone I can't compare to.

"Do you know how beautiful Master Mentor's maid is? When I see her, I feel ashamed of myself..."

Luna was also beautiful, but because of her witch identity, no one noticed her beauty. Moreover, her inferiority complex hid her shining points.

"The gifts Master Mentor casually gives me, our family couldn't afford them even if we saved for a lifetime..."

Clutching the Night Amulet, Luna continued.

Luna thought she would receive comfort from her mother, but instead, her mother also sighed.

"Luna, we are just ordinary people. We can't withstand any storms, so we must have self-awareness..."

Luna had heard this countless times. It made her very uncomfortable, but she knew her mother was right.

Her mother said such things for her own good. It was precisely this kind of upbringing that fostered her inferiority complex.

As people at the bottom, having a bit of an inferiority complex isn't bad. At the very least, it won't provoke others, and they can't afford to offend anyone.

If Loren hadn't appeared, Luna might have committed suicide because she couldn't bear Sylvia's (the Gedlan Princess) bullying.

"Being able to connect with Master Mentor is already a blessing our family earned over several lifetimes. We can't ask for more.

"A person must have self-awareness..."

This was who knows how many times she had said "self-awareness" to Luna. It had been like this since she was little.

To be honest, from the very beginning, Luna's mother didn't think Luna had a chance either. Loren had too many choices. Who knows how many princesses were fighting to be with Loren.

Even if Loren didn't care about status, the maid by Loren's side had far more advantages than Luna. Luna wouldn't even be in line to be a concubine.

"Mother, I'm sleepy..."

"Then get some good rest..."

Luna's mother walked out of Luna's bedroom. She knew Luna wasn't really sleepy, just unwilling to accept this reality and didn't want to continue talking to her.

At night, Luna lay in bed, turned on her side, looking at the moon outside the window.

The sight stirred her emotions. Luna suddenly remembered that day when she watched the moon with Loren.

"A blood-red moon just isn't as beautiful as a golden one..."

Luna drew the curtains, unwilling to look at the blood-red moon anymore.

...

Luna didn't know how she fell asleep. When she opened her eyes, it was already the next day. Her parents were already busy.

She originally wanted to help her parents, but they insisted she didn't need to. Now, Luna's parents even felt taking care of Luna was more important than their own work.

If Luna was willing, she could go to the Church right now and become a Bishop.

So they didn't want Luna to continue doing these dirty, tiring chores. They wanted her to have time to visit her old friends, or go back to school for a look.

Eldrin was dead. Now the Headmaster position at the Gedlan Royal Magic Academy was still vacant. If Luna went now, perhaps they would invite her to be the Headmaster.

The Gedlan Royal Magic Academy was the best magic academy in the Gedlan Kingdom. To become Headmaster, one must make others submit. After Eldrin's death, Gedlan no longer had a mage of his caliber who could crush everyone else.

But if it were Luna, probably no one would dare not submit.

Luna originally planned to go chat with her friend, but she quickly remembered school had already started, so her friend probably wasn't home.

In the end, Luna still walked towards the academy.

Strictly speaking, Luna's student status was still here; she was just out on a research trip with Loren.

When she arrived at the academy gate, Luna remembered she wasn't wearing her school uniform. Normally, she wouldn't be allowed in. But the moment the security guard saw her, his attitude immediately changed, inviting her to come back and look around the school.

Only then did Luna realize the Gedlan Royal Magic Academy had already made her promotional material. There weren't many people in the whole world who could be taken as a student by Loren, and their Gedlan Royal Magic Academy had produced one.

This was much more valuable than some high school boasting about having Tsinghua and Peking University graduates. After all, Tsinghua and Peking University accept many students every year, while Loren hadn't taken in more than a few in over a decade.

After entering the campus, whether teachers or students, everyone wore obsequious expressions when they saw her. However, this didn't change the inferiority in Luna's heart.

She knew very well that her current status was entirely because of Loren. She couldn't even think of a way to repay Loren.
