Chương 194: Hiding behind the witch

Julie was woken up early in the morning by the cry of the rooster. Having slept later than her mother,  she had trouble opening her eyes. With her eyes still closed, she tried to sit up while letting her body lean forward. When she squinted her eyes open, as expected, her mother wasn't there in the bed nor the room. 

Getting out of the bed, she dragged her feet towards the stand, pulling the coat she wrapped herself in it. She then made her way out of the room and stepping out of the backside door. She walked towards the well. 

Julie picked up the pot, trying to figure out how to tie the rope around it so that it wouldn't loosen itself, which was when she heard a pair of footsteps behind her. She quickly turned and found it was her uncle Ottis. 

"Good morning, Lady Julianne," Ottis offered his greeting to her. 

Julie returned it by greeting him, "Good morning, Mr. Ottis. You can call me Julie."
