Facing Galina's smile, Wei Ge took a deep breath, then grabbed both women.
"I don't care what happens later, but at least for today, Galina, Sivie, you two stay."
The two Witches looked at Shade. Clearly, they still wanted to go back with him.
But Wei Ge gave Shade no chance to speak.
"Consider this Galina compensating me. After all, she actually wanted to laugh at me. Stay tonight, and I won't pursue the matter."
After all, Wei Ge had not suffered any loss, so she could generously say that she would let it go.
Sivie immediately said:
"That was all Galina's plan. It had nothing to do with me."
Wei Ge actually released her.
"Fine then, Sivie, you may leave. But Galina must stay."
The Duchess was naturally dissatisfied.
"Wei Ge, you'd better think this through. If you let her go, she'll definitely follow Shade home."
"Of course I know."
The Duchess suddenly understood.
"Ah, so you want revenge on me! You want me to watch Sivie leave with Shade! You want me, just like you, to be left alone in an empty room, imagining Sivie and Shade doing this and that. Wei Ge, you can actually go this far just to get back at me?!"
Wei Ge revealed a victorious smile.
"Good that you understand. If it hadn't been for you today, I might already have been with Shade. Stay tonight and keep telling me stories. I'll let you go tomorrow."
Then she sweetly said to Shade:
"See you tomorrow. I've kidnapped your Duchess. If you don't come back, I won't let her go."
Galina knew she was in the wrong. Though she was very unhappy, she did not object again. Seeing that they did not seem about to quarrel, Shade nodded as well.
"Fine, see you tomorrow.
