Instead of ending up as a stray dog when stripped of her leadership position at the Great Witch gathering, she'd rather cooperate with Ivita for now. If what Ivita said was true, this move could benefit her and the market as well.
The other witches and the Wolfman at the market didn't really care who ruled it.
On the contrary, they were thrilled to hear that Ivita intended to join the market as one of its managers. This gave them a new sense of security, even stronger than before.
After all, Ivita wasn't likely to sabotage her own asset. Instead, she would protect it.
Ivita smiled at the Moonlight Great Witch, "It seems we have eventually become friends and allies."
"Speaking of which, Witch of Moonlight, I'd like to inquire about something. Your mentor, the Sea Spirit Witch, appeared in this world out of nowhere, according to my intelligence. Could you tell me about her origins?"
Ivita paused for a moment. "Please tell me what I need to offer in return."
