The Answer

Roland was wondering if he had heard her wrong. "Pardon?"

Scroll, clenching her teeth, repeated the question.

This time he was sure he was not experiencing a hearing problem and thought, [This witch is really concerned about my marriage?] He then said, "Are you sure all witches are unable to bear children? Is this due to... any specific reason? Something that could lead to a misunderstanding? For example, the previous Holy Mountain."

"I hope so," she said with a sigh, "unfortunately, there's no documentation of a witch bearing a child and there're countless examples that confirm the theory. Whether it be a normal relationship or taken by force, there has never been a conception in the Witch Cooperation Association or any of the other organizations."
