Fragments of memories from the girl's heart are gradually taking on the scene under the powerful magic.

It was in the beautiful upper area. Intricate mansions made of marble are lined with greenery and gardens. It is a huge contrast to the crowded and dirty streets below.

Even the lights on the road are provided by precious magic crystals, and at night, they emit blue-purple high-cost magic fluorescence.

- What a luxury.

The upper part of the capital of Glen Sollern was the dwelling of the wealthy and the powerful. Pure wind from high above swept through the forest in the private garden. Make a "whoosh" sound in unison.

INTERVIEWER It must be a pleasure to live here, right? For all kinds of people.

Although the slums below it, plagues, thefts, and murders are all a completely different kind of catastrophe and decay.

- "This is for you, little Charlotte. Take good care of it. ”

A handsome middle-aged man with short blond hair said in a charming voice. In his hand he was holding a newborn clean white kitten.

The soft fur is gently blown by the wind in the sun.

"Thank you, Father!" the girl in a beautiful aristocratic dress happily took the white cat. He smiled with a big cute smile.

For this man, who is accustomed to seeing the mutual persecution of nobles, it is too dazzling.

"I'm sorry, Charlotte. Dad hasn't had enough time with you. The man's mature face showed a look of love and guilt.

- "Uh-huh, my father has always been very busy, and Charlotte knows it. So, please Dad, don't worry about me. ”

- "As long as Charlotte can see her father, she already feels very, very happy!"

The girl's cheerful voice like a silver bell echoed in the garden.

The man looked at his daughter running in the garden and was full of beautiful hopes for the future. Even though I'm away from home four days of the week. But his lovely daughter is still so understanding.

He felt a sense of happiness that overflowed from the bottom of his heart.

- "No kidding! Have you ever been down there all day in the upper echelons? Resolutely oppose the imposition of additional taxes on the lower classes!"

At a gathering of celebrities in the upper echelons of the collar capital. Charlotte's father's unequivocal tone echoed through the glorious hall.

In his opinion, these rich, well-dressed and fat people are simply crazy. Obviously, the people below are still struggling painfully for life.

There is still another round of gold on the basis of the previous one.

“...... Miscellaneous. What?!" The expressions of the people around him twisted, and they let out a whisper of surprise and dissatisfaction.

———— to sum up, the proposal for a second joint tax was rejected by Mr. Levitt's objection. The presiding officer of the conference slowly announced.

Charlotte's father, Leavitt Edel, was the most powerful banker in the capital. As long as he vetoes, the rest of the rich people, no matter how dissatisfied they are, will not help.

"Hush. ！”

After the convention, the pot-bellied men gave Levitt a nonchalant look. Then they got into the carriage and galloped away.

Belch......?

Leavitt found that there was an inexplicable note in the pocket of his black coat.

"- Don't think that's all there is to it. Levittan - Birth"

Sinister and ugly language is left on paper.

The conference hall has been emptied.

Levitt folded it up and put it in his pocket.

——————————————————————

Back at his mansion, Levitt finds his daughter having fun with the white kitten. I suddenly felt a warmth in my heart. So he walked over slowly, whistling melodiously.

Gently stroked Charlotte's head.

The girl looked up, and her cheeks immediately flushed.

"Greetings, Lord Levitt. The maids next to him bowed their heads and greeted him respectfully.

Levitt recognized the silver-haired girl among them.

It was in the previous slum fire, Levitt rushed into the house despite everyone's exclamations and opposition, and rescued and adopted the little girl Xia Lei with his own hands.

Now it's more and more beautiful and deep.

Under the careful care of Levit, she offered to become the head maid of Levit's house. Responsible for accompanying and taking care of Charlotte's life.

"Well, it doesn't have to be. Please take good care of Charlotte, my daughter. No matter what happens, be sure to keep her safe. ”

Levitt said thoughtfully to Xia Lei.

"Yes, please rest assured, sir. I swear with my life that I will do my best to keep Miss Charlotte safe. ”

The silver-haired girl's firm voice reached Levitt's ears, reassuring him a little.

The rainy season in Grancis is coming.

It has been rainy in the upper area. Wet roses are scattered on the ground. What a beautiful and desolate sight.

“... Father..."On the damp upper district streets.

Charlotte, dressed in a bright silver dress, ran. A weak constitution is out of breath due to strenuous exercise.

Today is Tuesday, the day Levitt comes home every week.

''Gotta show my father this!''

Charlotte was once again in the Dry Glass Academy and got a letter of praise from the teacher!

If my father could see it, he would be very happy and proud!

Charlotte thought. I wanted to get home quickly.

- Next, just cross the path ahead. Go around the Doran Clock Tower.

I'm sure I'll be able to see my father as usual. Let's greet ourselves at the door with a smile.

The girl thought happily. .................................................................................

See!

Father's burgundy carriage was parked at the gate of the manor.

- However, the gates of the manor were not closed.

Invisible doubts arise from the bottom of my heart.

"Hmm...... Odd. ”

The girl muttered quietly.

"Meow ......"

A white cat slowly walked out of the gate of the manor.

"Sphinx!" the girl happily ran towards the cat.

Gently picked it up.

A sticky, wet touch came from my fingers.

"Huh...... ............ this?"

The girl looked at the right side of the cat's body suspiciously.

- Twisted into a ball of white soft hairs stained with a terrible red.

Thick, fishy droplets rubbed against Charlotte, soaking her delicate white dress red.

“..................！？”

The girl raised her head and looked slowly into the manor.

Beautiful pale blue pupils widen with excessive surprise and fear.

The originally delicate gate was bent and deformed after being hit by an external force. The winter flowers in the garden, which have been carefully pruned, are upside down in all directions.

The glass of the pale white pavilion shattered to the ground. The whole manor was as if it had just been through a storm, exuding an air of decadence and bleakness.

“......。 Father?...... Xia Lei ?...... "Charlotte desperately suppressed the trembling of her body.

"Meow ......!"

The cat suddenly sprang out of its arms.

"Sphinx...... where are you going!"

Charlotte chased after the white cat.

"Meow. The cat made a strange meow.

Charlotte looked at a man lying in a pool of blood in front of her.

——“............ Miss?"

A weak voice, however, familiar to Charlotte.

"Xia Lei!!"

The maiden ran to her.

“...... Mr. Levitt...... The people who were caught, ............ were captured," Xia Lei spat out a few words with difficulty.

"It's my responsibility to fail to protect my husband......"

- Arrested?

- Why? My father was always kind and often distributed bread to people in the lower districts.

Why?

“...... Those people said......"

"Mr. Levitt,—— is a heretic. ”
