Unveiling the World of the Silent Witch
Silent Witch: Chinmoku no Majo no Kakushigoto, also known as Secrets of the Silent Witch, centers on Monica Everett, revered as one of the Seven Sages and famously known as the “Silent Witch.” Her unique ability to cast spells without incantations has cemented her legendary status, particularly after single-handedly defeating a formidable black dragon. However, beneath this powerful facade lies a profoundly shy individual who mastered voiceless magic purely to avoid public speaking.
The story unfolds as Monica is assigned a top-secret mission by the king: to secretly guard the Second Prince.
