Lycia didn't feel scared at all, and the pretty female ghost gave her a very close feeling, even some familiarity.

It moved around the room, walking to the mirror, to the window, and then to an open space, picking up something and holding it in its arms.

It's like holding a child.

Lycia held the slightly hot wand and did not move, observing its smooth movements as if she were still alive, and she wondered who this woman really was.

Lycia saw the female ghost raise her hand to wipe her tears, and then it turned into a few wisps of smoke and burrowed into the brass wand.

"It's amazing. Lycia had to think about what the wand had to do with herself.

Because I returned to the ancestral house of the Campbell family, I guess I triggered something in the wand, so I guess that's the reason.

So the owner of this brass wand must have been a deceased senior in the Campbell family.

Lycia kicked her feet and got out of bed.

She wanted to go to the place where the family portraits were kept, and on the other side of the castle, Lycia had visited once after the rite of passage.

She opened the door softly, past the study where the lights were still on.

"Miss Lycia?" Marianne had just closed her eyes and rubbed her eyes when she saw Lycia walking downstairs with the circle of light.

She sat down in front of Marianne and made a shushing motion. "I suddenly remembered something and wanted to go to the showroom. ”

Marianne walked over in small steps and helped Lycia hold the glowing circle.

This is a new glowing circle that has been repurchased after Lycia's room was destroyed, and it looks like a flower, although it is beautiful, but it is very heavy.

"Thank you, Marianne. Lycia nodded at her. "Can you come with me?"

Marianne held the circle in the shape of a flower, cheered up and nodded. "Very glad, miss. ”

Lycia picked up the cloak herself and tied it, and then found a cloak for Marianne to put on.

Lycia could feel Marianne's kindness and flattery, not just from the seventy percent favorability, but also happy to accept such a loyal partner.

So I invited Marianne to come with her.

The two of them walked down the damp stone path, circled the tower castle where their master lived, and came to another building with a single spire with a narrow roof.

"How do you get in?" Lycia pushed the door open, but found it moving.

Marianne gestured to Lycia's chest. "Do you have a family crest, I see that Master Mixiu is holding the badge and putting it in this place. Marianne pointed to an inconspicuous recess in the door.

Lycia searched twice, found the family crest necklace from the cloth bag, and removed the round gilded badge from the copper chain and inserted it into the groove.

"It's all right, miss, it's on. Marianne held the glowing circle and pointed to the doorknob.

Lycia nodded, twisted it in a full circle, grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door outward.

"Ahem, it looks like no one usually comes. Because the hall was so empty, Lycia spoke in an echo.

Marianne turned to close the door, and the two of them walked on the wooden floor towards the left.

"This is the showroom. Lycia peeked in, and in the long room, the walls were covered with oil paints.

Lycia asked Marianne to put the glowing circle down on the table where an ancient sword was kept, and Lycia opened the large glowing circle in the room.

Each portrait is clearly presented in Lycia's eyes.

Among them is a picture drawn by her father, Duke Michaw, and her mother when they got married, and the two are happy and in love.

Lycia followed the image and saw a portrait of her grandfather, the old Duke Campbell, a family portrait.

This picture is strange in that the old Duke Campbell has a smeared mark on his right shoulder, and more obviously, the young Michaeu Campbell is standing on his father's left side, while the right side is depicted as a middle-aged woman with a large mouth with a mole at the corner of her mouth.

This middle-aged woman is not Lycia's grandmother, but Michaeu Campbell's cousin, who calls her aunt but is actually just a cousin.

"Marianne, why don't I think this painting used to be like this?" Lycia's hand caressed the canvas, and the paint on the place where Aunt Tang was painted was noticeably thicker than in other places, as if to cover another painting.

"Yes, miss, I think too. Marianne was torn over whether she should tell Lycia some hearsay.

"I happened to hear the butler accidentally reveal that the Duke once had a sister. Marianne spoke cautiously. "But I'm not sure if it's true. ”

Lycia nodded, there is a good chance that this kind of rumor is true. "Got it. "It may be that her aunt made some unforgivable mistake and was completely removed from the Campbell family, so that their generation did not know that this person existed.

Both the portraits and the written records have been erased.

Lycia really wanted to carefully scrape off the outside and look inside, but she didn't dare for the time being.

She continued to look at other images, and none of the portraits gave her the impression of a female ghost.

Lycia had a faint feeling in her heart that perhaps the female ghost was her own aunt, the one who had been erased.

"Let's go. Lycia looked around again, but found no other unusual portraits.

Marianne picked up the flower-shaped glowing circle from the table where the ancient sword was placed, but her hand slipped a little, and in order to prevent the latest illuminator from shattering, Marianne moved a little bigger, accidentally overturning the ancient sword on the shelf to the ground.

The sword god fell to the ground and flicked twice, and the scabbard broke a little.

"Ah, Goddess above, please forgive me for my recklessness, Miss Lycia, I really didn't mean to. Marianne hurriedly apologized.

Lycia booed twice. "It's okay Marianne, it's okay. ”

Lycia picked up the ancient sword and curiously pulled it out to take a look.

"It's so heavy. The moment Lycia drew her sword, she felt it suddenly become very heavy.

"Shhh But Lycia's arm muscles were adjusting to the weight of the sword.

Marianne held the illuminated circle to help but didn't dare to move, and it wasn't until she was sure that Lycia could hold the sword smoothly that she breathed a sigh of relief.

"No engraving, no heraldic engraving, is it just an ordinary sword?" Lycia shook her head, asking herself. "It's certainly not easy. ”

She put her sword in its scabbard. Then return the sword to the shelf.

"Smack!" Lycia watched in disbelief as the shelf where the sword had been placed cracked, but fortunately the stone pier platform was not broken.

"Oh, it's all my fault!" said Marianne, who almost cried. "If I hadn't held it up. ”

Lycia quickly crumbled up the crumbs of the wooden shelf and threw them all out of sight under the table.

"It's okay, don't cry, I put the sword directly on the stone platform, as if it was here. Lycia clapped her hands. "Let's go, let's go, it's not a big deal. ”

Lycia led Marianne, who was still emotionally unstable, out.

*

In the morning, Lycia woke up late.

Michaeu and Ash had already finished their breakfast and were sitting at the table waiting.

"You're back. Duke Mixiu set the newspaper aside, and Ash took a sip of black tea.

Lycia nodded, and Marianne pulled her out of her chair, then served a plate of fried eggs and warm bacon, and a glass of milk.

"I heard you're in danger when you go out this time?" Mi Xiu asked.

Lycia took a bite of the egg and drank a little more milk. "Yes, Dad. I came back too late last night to bother you. ”

Duke Mixiu nodded, his expression was very tired, and he was all black and green at the moment.

"You have done a good job, I have heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decided to bestow you the title of Viscount. Duke Michaeu's eyes showed appreciation.

Ash was just looking down and drinking his tea, as if he hadn't heard the words.

"Well, I just saved His Highness by accident. "Lycia took a bite of the bacon, which was a little cold, very salty.

She took two bites before putting down her fork and looking at Ash.

"Sister, is it time to take a vacation today?"

Ash nodded. "Otherwise, you wouldn't think I needed to take a leave of absence to see you. ”

Mixiu glared at Ash. "Shut up, Ash. ”

Lycia clearly felt that her father's attitude towards Ash was getting worse day by day, and this was reflected in herself, that his favorability was increasing day by day.

"Okay, I'll shut up. Ash left the table with his cup in his hand and without the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Dad, I'm just going home to pack my bags and get to school. Lycia got up too, not the slightest bit of joy at changing her attitude to her father.

On the contrary, she felt very awkward.

"Of course, you have to continue to strengthen your relationship with the crown prince. Mishew nodded.

After Lycia leaves, she knocks on Ash's door.

"Why, Father thinks so highly of you, don't you say a word?Come to me?Is it to laugh at me?" Ash opened the door, making way for Lycia to pass. "Laugh at me as a librarian?"

Lycia had to call Ash a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted man. "Alright, Ash, are you alright?" she walked into Ash's room, and sat down on the bed.

Ash folded his arms and closed the door with his feet. "Okay. ”

"Did you know that my father once had a sister?" Lycia asked, knowing that Ash most likely didn't know, but she wanted Ash to keep an eye on it at home.

"I don't know. Ash, who was only two years older than Lycia, shook her head. "Isn't there only one heir to the Campbell family to my father's generation?"

Lycia's hands rested on the bed, then tilted her head. "We may have had an aunt. ”

Ash sat down next to Lycia. "What's the use of having an aunt, I must have committed the same crime as my brother again, and I was completely erased by the family. ”

Ash sighed.

"Will Keith be erased from the Campbell family?" Lycia remembered that Keith still had a bar mitzvah portrait in the showroom.

"Of course, it will be slowly erased. Ash said. "Unless the charges can be cleared before he dies. ”

Lycia thought it would be a long time before Ash had news of her disappeared aunt.

As a result, on the second night of her stay at the school, Ash came to the academy in a horse-drawn carriage alone to find her.

"Ash!" Lycia threw the book she was holding to Caroline, who was studying with her, and ran towards Ash, who was wearing a blue dress.

"Why are you here now?, is there something going on at home?" asked Lycia, seeing that Ash had reached fifty percent favorability, and that she had developed a dependence on her sister, who had been incompatible with each other.

"I know what you're talking about. Ash lowered her head and leaned into Lycia's ear. "There really is such a person, and she was burned alive by the Church because she was believed to have had an affair with darkness. ”

Lycia took a deep breath. "How do you know. ”

"In the library, I was marking some books that had been sent for destruction, and I happened to see a penal record. Ash glanced around, pulled a book from under her skirt and shoved it into Lycia's chest. "That stack of books had been sitting for years, waiting to be destroyed. I didn't expect it to be so coincidental, so I happened to see this one. ”

Lycia nodded incessantly, and tucked a book with moldy covers into her vest, she was wearing a school uniform today, a tight hip-wrapping skirt, so she had to hide the book in her clothes.

But now that it's getting dark, no one should notice it.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you can take your time. Ash straightened his clothes and was about to board the carriage.

Lycia grabbed her. "This is a rented carriage, didn't you come in the family's carriage?"

"I—do you think my father would be willing to send a family carriage to take the librarian off work?" Ash smiled self-deprecatingly.

"No, it's so late, it's inconvenient to rent a carriage to go back, especially. Lycia didn't say anything else.

"Especially since I'm not a heraldic person, am I?" Ash snorted. "Come on, Lycia, your high-minded sympathy disgusts me. ”

===== (300 words.) I'm just 300 words, I'll be able to write it in five minutes, and tomorrow, tomorrow I won't be like this!)

"Ahem, quiet, quiet everybody!" said an inquisitor in a tuxedo uniform, white socks on his calves, and green satin shoes on his feet, his lips pursed hard, and two lumps of flesh squeezing out of his cheeks.

The experience of being buried in the earth three days ago made Lycia do become suspicious, but in the end she decided not to worry about the danger before it came.

Today's inquisitors come from the upstream city of Senna, which was much larger than Sufaro, and whose lord was also the administrator of Sufaro.

So this time the judge was sent from Senna.

Lycia was puzzled by the institutional setup of the Thorn Empire, which had a well-established legal department, although she didn't know the specific system, but it was definitely relatively sound.

But at the same time, the Church also has the power to judge, and in the judgment involving the power of heraldry, the judgment of the Church is decisive.
