I Am Really a Witch
Chapter 4
There were many rare species of flowers in the Netherfield. Some of them were not so expensive in modern times, but they were rare and difficult to raise in modern times.
It did not make much difference to Circy whether they were easy to raise or not, but the rich variety made the poor witch, who had been struggling to survive in the weeds, happy.
Circy was completely relaxed in the large flowerbeds.
The plants were naturally close to her, and so was she.
Everywhere Circy passed by, the competition for beauty was even more intense than before.
The seeds and complete plants that Circy brought back were all carefully selected, and naturally contained a little bit of magic.
The magic they contained was very subtle, almost no different from ordinary plants. At most, they grew a little stronger, but these kinds of plants were more suitable to be cultivated into magical species than ordinary ones.
It was like a gifted child, naturally, it was easier for him to learn new knowledge than an ordinary child.
Of course, ordinary species could also be transformed into magical species, but it would take a longer time.
In this unfamiliar era, Circy never dared to lose her caution.
She was always anxious to brew more magic potions in case of an emergency, so it was naturally better to save some time.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this fellow who was used to being a homebody suddenly returned to normal social interactions and was scared.
In modern times, she was never so active.

"Father, can I go to town to play?" Circy stood in front of Sir Lucas, trying to put on her most obedient expression.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to town?"
Sir Lucas waved his hand and motioned for his daughter to sit on a chair. As he asked, he seemed to have suddenly remembered something and his expression suddenly became kind. "Ah, I almost forgot. Our little Circy is already fifteen years old. Do you want to buy something to dress up?" He winked.
Circy was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and gently nodded.
"Let Charlotte go with you." Sir Lucas agreed. "Do you have enough pocket money?"
Although his family's total assets couldn't compare to the Bennett family's, they only had three children, so they were relatively well-off.
"Thank you, father!" Circy's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "Don't worry, father. I have enough pocket money." With that, she lifted her skirt and ran downstairs.
"Charlotte!" Circy went straight to her sister in the living room. "Come with me to town!"
Charlotte helped her sister, who was running so fast that she almost couldn't stop. She put down the book in her hand and nodded gently, "Of course."
Circy had never thought of going to town before.
The girls of her age around her were different. Every day they gathered together to discuss the new styles, and to speculate about the new trends in London. They chattered noisily.
Circy could not get a word in on this. Her sense of beauty was infinitely close to that of a straight man. The only slight difference was due to her natural female identity.
Circy avoided the girls who started this kind of crazy discussion, and labeled the word "town" as "boring".
They were all ordinary people's clothing and accessories stores, neither magic robes nor magic tools. What was there to visit?
Until one day, Charlotte asked her curiously, "Where did you get these flower seeds?
I didn't see you go to town. "
"Town?" Circy, who was squatting on the ground and playing with the flowers, looked up blankly. "What town?"
"Seeds. Didn't you find someone to buy them in town?" Charlotte bowed slightly, but was careful not to let her skirt fall on the ground.
She was much more serious about learning etiquette than Circy. Although she was not good-looking, her every move was very elegant.
From then on, the door to a new world opened in front of Circy again.
"Charlotte!
Let's go! "Circy was very excited, and her little face was red.
Charlotte could not help but smile every time she saw her sister so energetic. Their little sister was really a little beauty.
Circy was not the typical kind of beautiful girl. In fact, it was hard to find a beauty in their family, but Circy had a pair of beautiful eyes.
Everyone who talked to her could not help but be attracted by her eyes.
Charlotte thought to herself proudly. Her little sister had a pair of sparkling eyes.
When Circe's emotions were stirred up, coupled with her eyes, her delicate face seemed to be lit up in an instant.
"Aren't we going?" Circy looked at her sister who suddenly showed a mysterious smile and tilted her head in confusion.
Charlotte came back to her senses and affectionately stroked her sister's hair. "Let's go. Father has already asked someone to prepare the carriage."
The two sisters did not know whether to say that they were lucky or not. They just happened to bump into the garrison soldiers on their last minute trip.
The soldiers in red uniforms walked through the street in a line. Their leather boots knocked on the ground, and the harmony of their footsteps was quite shocking.
Most of these soldiers were young men. They were tall and straight, and attracted the excited and shy exclamations of the girls on both sides of the street.
Circy's attention did not disappoint and once again went astray.
She stared at the group of soldiers and showed a thoughtful expression.
Marrying a soldier seemed to be a good thing?
She did not mean to curse, but the probability of soldiers dying on the battlefield was quite high. Especially the soldiers who were stationed outside the city, a considerable number of them were not locals. Then when she got married …
Run far away, no one would care about her, and her husband would not be at home for a long time …
God, it seemed to be a very good choice.
Charlotte saw Circy's eyes drifting to the group of soldiers who walked away, and patted her shoulder to wake her up. "Don't look. Father will not let you marry a soldier." She knew that her silly sister did not understand her indirect words, so she directly pointed it out.
This time, Circy looked over in confusion. "Why?" Was she discovered?
Ha, the girl was actually considering this possibility. Charlotte rubbed her forehead tiredly. "The soldiers are stationed outside the city for a long time. Also, swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Do you think Father and Mother will agree?"
That was very sad.
Circy pouted. The few "advantages" that she valued just happened to step on the minefield of her family.
It seemed that she had to find someone else. It was a pity that such a good condition was wasted …
She smacked her lips and looked away. She temporarily gave up.
The town was still very lively. Without the soldiers attracting the attention of the girls on the street, the eyes of the girls on the street refocused on the shop.
This shop that sold all kinds of seeds was relatively remote and the shop was not big. Fortunately, there was a variety of seeds, and they could pick out some good ones.
