After leaving the side hall and returning with the help of the maid to change into a spare dress, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the high priest is very kind, kind, and very friendly, I don't know why, Charlotte always has a feeling of fidgeting when she stays with the other party.

This was not at all the same as when she was with Raoult, the old priest, and Charlotte had not been with Raoul when she was in the church hospital.

may be because the Great Priest is a high-ranking Divine Official, which makes her, a small blood clan, feel weak; It may also be that the other party's act of inviting her to drink milk made her subconsciously think of the crazy old woman in her house, a bit PTSD.

In short, after leaving the side hall, Charlotte felt a lot more relaxed, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

The next banquet was not interesting, and the girl was already full after tasting various delicacies, and she did not enter the dance party in the second half of the banquet on the grounds that she was not feeling well.

In fact, even if Charlotte entered, it is estimated that there was a declaration in the first half, and in order to avoid misunderstanding by the church, I am afraid that no young nobleman would dare to invite her to dance.

If anyone dares to invite, I'm afraid that only the Duke himself and the Grand Priest will be the only ones.

But the old duke is a lot older, and it is estimated that he can't pull it off, and the great priest has also rested.

Sebas was looking at it from a distance, obviously wanting to do something, but after some hesitation, he finally honestly acted as a little transparent in the corner.

Charlotte was very satisfied, this guy was still very acquainted, and no one dared to approach her now, and if he, the president of the Rose Society, came rashly, it was clear that there was a problem.

No one invited, so Charlotte was happy and ran alone to the viewing platform outside to blow the wind.

Anyway, she didn't dance ballroom dancing, even in her original memory, because of her age and going out, she didn't learn much.

It's Nice, the black cat, who doesn't know when he came running over again.

And the attitude is surprisingly enthusiastic, as if it has changed into a cat, and it is to carry milk for the girl, and it is to carry fruit for the girl.

"Aren't you chatting and bragging with Dean Raoult? Why did you come to me again? ”

The girl gave Ness a strange look.

"Meow! What did you say? But you're my current master, and I'm done with the church, so of course I'm coming to you. ”

The black cat Nice is righteous and awe-inspiring.

Charlotte nodded slightly, her gaze sliding over the crowd:

"What about Dean Raoult?"

"It's gone, it's the church hospital that is coming back to life, and Kara is with me."

Ness said.

"Captain Kara? Did something happen again? ”

Thinking of the identity of the female knight Kara, Charlotte's heart moved.

"Yes, it's only been less than two weeks, and there will be another blood demon case."

Ness sighed.

"Blood Demon Case? Where? ”

Charlotte's goblet stopped in mid-air.

"Whether it was a family in the outer city or a declining aristocracy, I don't know the specifics, but it is said that almost all of them were wiped out, all three daughters were missing, and only one servant survived and is being rescued in the church hospital."

Nice said solemnly.

"All Destroyed, Missing ......"

Charlotte's eyes froze slightly.

She waited for Ness to continue, only to find that the other man did not continue, but looked at her with a look of desire to speak.

Charlotte was a little strange, but soon came back to her senses, and her face turned dark:

"You don't want to ask me if this has anything to do with me, do you?"

"Ahem, ahem...... How could it be! You have a grudge against the Blood Demon Order! Just ......"

Nice is somewhat distracted.

Charlotte's expression was cold:

"Say it quickly."

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Ness said:

"Live ...... Have your emblem. ”

Emblem?

Charlotte was slightly stunned.

But soon she reacted:

"Thorn Rose?"

Ness nodded.

Charlotte's brow furrowed.

She knew that both Ness and Sebas had taken her as a resurrected god, and that the Thorn Rose had become her symbol.

Although it was only a pattern on the carved furniture she copied by hand, combined with the personal information on the Blood Sacred Book, the symbol of the Thorn Rose had indeed established some kind of mysterious connection with her, becoming her symbol.

Charlotte even doubted that if she really became a god one day in the future, it was impossible to say that this pattern could really become a real holy emblem!

And now, this symbol has appeared at the scene of a blood demon case, which is a little intriguing.

"Is it a sacrificial circle?"

The girl asked.

"No, it's not, this time it's not the same as the one at Castel Manor, it's very similar to other blood demon cases in the past six months, they all killed other people, and the underage daughter disappeared......"

"The church has always suspected that it is the Blood Demon Order that has not given up, and intends to continue to summon the Fire Demon."

"It's just that the last pattern left behind in this Blood Demon case has been changed from the logo of the Blood Demon Order to a ...... Thorn Rose. ”

Ness said.

After speaking, it hesitated for a moment and looked at the girl:

"Miss Charlotte, you say...... Could it be that the Blood Demon Order has also discovered your resurgence and is deliberately tempting? ”

Found my resuscitation?

No, it's really just a furniture pattern......

However, even Sebas and Ness have taken me for an evil god, and perhaps the Blood Demon Order also thinks that Boulder has a resurrection evil god related to the Bloodline, so they will take action......

Thinking of this, Charlotte's expression gradually became solemn.

I'm afraid the Blood Demon Order is indeed coming for her.

Or rather, to the existence of the symbol behind the thorn rose.

It's just that she doesn't know what the other party's purpose is.

But in any case, considering the strange connection between the sign of the Thorn Rose and herself, Charlotte had a feeling that she couldn't ignore it.

Is the incident located in an out-of-town area......

Charlotte thought of a good candidate to investigate the matter.

"I know, I'll send someone to investigate this matter."

The girl nodded and said lightly.

Nice was a little confused:

"Send someone to investigate? Do you have any other manpower in the outer city? ”

But soon, it realized something and jumped almost instantaneously:

"Wait! You're not going to let Sebas investigate, are you?! ”

"Great Miss Charlotte! That guy Sebas is the most notorious mob boss in Boulder! There are a lot of secrets on my body! ”

"This guy...... Not only did he betray Luna, but it is said that he also offended some big forces in the dark! It's a nuisance all over the body! ”

"Not to mention, he was the one who hung you on the cross......"

Charlotte glanced coldly at Ness, and then she stopped talking and didn't say the second half of her sentence.

The girl took a sip of milk and said lightly:

"Everybody has secrets, he has them, and I have them."

As she spoke, she looked at Ness again, her gaze meaningful:

"Could it be...... Don't you have one? ”

"Me?"

Ness was stunned, and then his eyes wandered for a moment, and he looked away:

"Meow! Look at what you say! What secrets can I have! I'm just a little cat who can talk and have little skills! Meow meow~! ”

"Oh? Minor skills, do you refer to contract magic and dark summoning skills? ”

Charlotte glanced at it.

Ness's heart instantly became empty.

"Tell me, as a 'big man' in the church, how did you meet Sebastian? How long have we known each other? ”

The girl smiled and glanced at the black cat.

And looking at the girl's bright smile, Ness's scalp instantly tingled:

"Ahem...... Probably...... It's been a long time? Earliest...... Well...... I guess we met at a banquet, right? ”

The poor black cat didn't realize that he was going to set up a set of girls' backgrounds, ask the other party about the blood demon case, and also ask how the girl met Sebas.

As a result, the words turned into "interrogation".

"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."

Looking at the black cat, Charlotte stopped asking.

She tapped the goblet lightly and said meaningfully:

"Later, when you want to talk about it."

"Okay, I'm a little tired, you can go somewhere else to find other beautiful sisters."

After speaking, the girl issued an eviction order.

Nice:......

Its expression grew embarrassed.

But looking at the girl's indifferent look, it quickly realized something again, and then it was a little entangled.

Ness understood what Charlotte meant.

When will it be open and honest about itself, and when will the girl truly accept it, and not just treat it as a forced servant.

Nice hesitated.

After a moment's struggle, it sighed and bowed respectfully to Charlotte:

"Great Charlotte master, as you said, everyone has their own secrets, and Nice has its own bitterness."

"However, since I have signed a contract with you, it is naturally impossible for Ness to betray you."

"That'...... Nice quit first. ”

Looking at the departing figure of the black cat, Charlotte sighed slightly.

Nice seemed to have more secrets than she thought.

It seems that there is still a long way to go before this guy is completely subdued.

……

The duke's birthday party lasted until late at night.

After the banquet, the Ducal Palace reserved the guests and prepared their rooms.

However, after all this had happened, Charlotte didn't really want to stay in the Duke's Palace.

She declined the invitation and chose to return to Castel Manor.

After meeting his master, the old servant Quasimodo stopped talking, and seemed to have a lot to ask.

Charlotte's heart moved, and she guessed that it had something to do with her declaration at the banquet.

Presumably, at this time, the news should have already spread in the Duke's Palace.

In the end, however, the old servant did not ask, but dutifully drove the carriage.

In the middle of the night, the bustling city of Boulder becomes extremely quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the day.

The carriage drove in the darkness towards the western part of the city.

Nice, the black cat, fell asleep in the corner of the carriage, smacking his lips from time to time, laughing as if he was having a sweet dream.

Charlotte leaned against the window, admiring the moonlight outside.

She felt a little thirsty, maybe because of the strength of the night, the blood addiction wanted to commit it again.

However, at this moment, the carriage suddenly slowed down, and Quasimodo, who was in front, suddenly knocked on the window.

"What's wrong?"

Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly.

"The host ......"

Quasimodo, who was driving, looked serious, leaned back slightly, and whispered through the window:

"Back...... There was a carriage following us. ”
