The witch burst out laughing, "Really, you think you're picking a bride or something? Choosy as you are, it's just shameless!"

She deliberately plays the part of being scheming yet obvious to adults, which is probably also a survival strategy, right? Compared to intuitively sharp kids or those who are not smart enough, a kid with her kind of street smarts who can be easily manipulated is more likely to be favored by adults."
