Although the two had already said goodbye, Annie still spoke up to defend her "ex-wife."
At that time, she didn't know what was going on. Somehow, she just wanted to have a child, as if possessed by magic, and ultimately, despite Hatti's objections, she forcibly knocked her out, then held a ceremony, and succeeded in conceiving Alice.
Looking back now, she was indeed too domineering and too forceful back then. She did feel sorry for Hatti, and the eventual breakup was truly her own doing.
However, if she were given another chance, she would certainly make the same choice. After all, Alice was something she wanted, not Hatti, so naturally, she should pay the price.
A witch's ascension period is extremely precious; at their age, they should be desperately trying to become stronger, wishing every second could be like an hour for training. Having a child at this crucial time is simply self-destruction.
