"What happened there?" As Roland and Margaret were talking, Margaret uttered an exclamation of surprise. "What's Joan... doing?"
Roland also noticed the commotion on the other side of the hall. He saw Margaret's witch friend leave her spot and, escorted by her maid, slowly walk toward Lightning and the other witches.
Maggie, on the other hand, was flying back and forth, seemingly delivering messages for her.
At first, Joan was so nervous that she clung to her maid the whole time. She only poked her head out when Maggie was around. However, when she and Maggie gradually got to know each other, the situation soon changed.
She not only started to talk to the witches but even reached out her hands to touch Lorgar's ears and tail in a gentle manner.
"Now I see." Roland could not help smiling. "Lightning is indeed quick at making friends."
