-60- The years are quiet, and the wind and rain are coming
"Wow! Is this Castel Manor? Where will we work in the future? ”
"Good...... It's big, it's beautiful! It's not as scary as rumored to be! ”
"Tree! Lots of trees! And flowers! Wow! And the fountain! ”
"What a big house! This...... Is this a palace? ”
"Feeling...... It felt like in a dream. ”
In the Castel manor, the young man and girl who got out of the carriage looked curiously at everything around them, and their expressions were very excited.
Even the most apprehensive child is shining at this moment.
Having lived in the outer city since childhood, they have never seen such a scene.
Even the girl Shirley, looking at the purple flowers and flying butterflies in the garden, there was a slight glimmer of light in her cold eyes.
"Of course, this is where everyone will work from now on."
"Not only that, but in the future, everyone's monthly allowance will be the same as the probationary priest in the church, twenty quintana a month."
"And if you do a good job in the future, or enter the rank, the treatment will be further improved."
Looking at the excited teenager and girl, Charlotte said with a smile.
Listening to her words, everyone was even more excited:
"II...... Twenty Quintana?! ”
"Oh my God! That's more than my dad earns in a year! ”
"Castel Manor is fantastic!"
"Long live Lord Charlotte! Long live the Castel family! ”
The boys and girls cheered.
Looking at them with great excitement, the corners of Charlotte's mouth rose slightly.
Unlike the servants who were hired before, they were all blank sheets, and they were the best to shape and the easiest to satisfy.
In the face of them, Charlotte didn't need to go to the trouble of training her servants as she did before, and it took a lot of effort just to get the hired servants not to see herself as a little girl.
Adolescent children eat soft rather than hard.
In the face of these newcomers who are not much different from her physical age, as long as you are good to them, as long as you make them feel that you are your own person, coupled with your natural aristocratic identity and master's identity, you can completely gain the recognition and loyalty of the vast majority of people.
In other words, in the face of these newcomers, the seduction effect in the prestige technique may be much better than the intimidation effect.
The most obvious evidence is that from the moment they first saw her, the young apprentice knights and apprentice mages in the team were already red-faced and dodgy, but one by one they were riveted, and it seemed that they couldn't wait to become the girl's loyal followers.
Especially when Charlotte casually looked at them.
She smiled slightly, her long golden hair shining in the sun, and her blue and pure eyes were like a clear sky, which seemed to have a deep magic power, almost hooking the souls of the teenagers.
The sense of innocence and goddess like the first love on campus made Charlotte perfectly replicate.
The chivalry and desire to protect that were buried in the boy's heart were aroused almost instantly, and they were eager to immediately kneel down on one knee and offer their loyalty to the girl.
Though...... In fact, they may not be able to beat Charlotte alone.
There is also a difference between non-in-rank transcendents.
Although most of the children of these transcendents have also awakened their extraordinary powers, they are not as strong as Charlotte, who is a blood clan.
However, they are the hope of Castel's future.
With a little training and the use of Castel's deep pockets, Charlotte could make their mark in a few years.
They are Charlotte's future knights of the guard and court mages.
And besides them, there were maids, including Shirley, who claimed to be a magic apprentice and trainee knight, a total of twenty-three people.
Almost all of them have been professionally trained, and they are trained in the manners of the Castel family.
Although the seduction effect is not as good as for them, they will blush and bow their heads every time the girl smiles at them.
Only Shirley is excepted.
This maid with the strongest comprehensive ability, who has been in the hall and in the kitchen, has more exquisite cooking skills than the chef of the manor, and even has the strongest awakened extraordinary power, has always been cold to Charlotte.
"The mask you're wearing is really deceptive."
She said coldly.
Charlotte smiled slightly, not caring at all about the girl's taunting and provocation.
She knew that the girl was very wary of her, and she didn't want to stay here, so she wanted Charlotte to return her immediately.
She knows why, too.
After communicating with Quasimodo, Charlotte learns that Shirley witnessed how her parents were kicked out of the estate as a child, and that she also went through a rather difficult time.
In this case, distrust of Castel is too normal, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is disgusting.
But even so, she still listened to her parents and came to the manor silently, which also showed that this was an honest and good child.
Charlotte is looking forward to the day when she will open her heart and gain her loyalty.
This gives her a sense of impulse and challenge like a strategy game.
After all, the more thorny the rose, the more fragrant it will be when it blooms.
……
The addition of more than 50 teenagers and girls made the originally somewhat deserted Castel Manor lively.
Charlotte didn't stay outside for long, though.
The sun came out, and the longer she stayed, the more uncomfortable it became.
Back in the study, a panting Ness finally rushed back.
It collapsed to the ground like a dead cat, and looked at the girl with a look full of resentment:
"Summer ...... Miss Charlotte...... Cat Master ...... No, Nice has offended you again? ”
Charlotte glanced at it lightly, and instead of answering directly, she asked rhetorically:
"How many people know about the Thorn Rose?"
Nice's eyes widened.
It instantly understood why it was punished, and its heart became empty for a while:
"Uh...... That one...... Lord Charlotte, this is all a misunderstanding, I didn't become your servant at that time......"
"Meow...... You know, even a cat has to pay for dried fish...... The church won't give us a stipend, so of course we'll have to think of it ourselves......"
Charlotte gave it a cold look and repeated:
"How many people know about the Thorn Rose?"
Ness shrunk his neck.
It thought for a moment and said:
"Uh...... It shouldn't be much. ”
"I did resell the information...... However, it was only sold to the Rose Society......"
"Wait! That guy Sebas told you, right?! This bastard with no contract spirit! ”
As if realizing something, Ness was furious.
But seeing Charlotte's cold gaze, it shuddered again, withdrew its gaze, retracted its tail, and continued:
"Uh...... In addition to the Rosace, I, probably only Raoult, Kara, the Duke, and the Grand Priest. ”
"No, wait...... There should be another person who also knows what the second son of the Gaston family seems to be called...... Hmm, Jordan? ”
"The child of a vassal must serve in the lord's house for a period of time, and he is a knight of the Duke's Palace."
"Kara mentioned after reporting this to the Duke that she happened to meet him when she was out of the house, and he was evasive at the time, probably hearing it outside the door."
Jordan? That peacock who was scared out of Sebas?
Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she looked at Sebas on the side.
"A cowardly waste, but ...... But I have made a group of fox friends and dog friends, maybe you can investigate him well, and it is very likely that the secret of your holy emblem leaked from him. ”
Sebas said.
Charlotte bowed slightly:
"You do it, and ...... Prepare me with some otherworldly blood, just like last time. ”
"Do as you command."
Sebas saluted respectfully, eager to try.
After the order, Charlotte looked at the worried black cat Nice again, and said coldly:
"I don't care what you were doing in the church before."
"But now that I'm my servant, I need to know what to do and what not to do."
"If I find out that you have done something sorry for me......"
"Whether you want a small life, or two little things behind the cat's butt, you can only choose one of the two."
Listening to the girl's angry words, Nice only felt a chill in his crotch, and couldn't help but shiver.
"Alright, get out."
Charlotte issued an eviction order.
Nice was pardoned, and quickly slipped out with his tail between his legs.
Sebas also smiled slightly and bowed gracefully.
And when he walked out of the study, he didn't forget to smile at the black cat:
"Hehe, Lord Nice."
"You have to be careful, don't be like a prisoner of the East Yunette Empire, a cat father."
With that, he laughed and left.
Looking at the distant back of the fire elf, Ness was angry and angry:
"Phew! This shameless dogleg! Bastards who take advantage of the danger of cats! ”
But after scolding, a sense of urgency rose in its heart:
"No......"
"I have to redeem my image in front of the evil god!"
"You can't let this black-bellied elf ride on the cat's head!"
Muttering to himself, Nice hurried away.
……
The next few days were much quieter for Charlotte.
As her faith speeches in the church continued to ferment, rumors about the Castels in Boulder City were shattered.
Without the nobles continuing to look for the girl, the Blood Demon Order seemed to have abandoned its plans after the failed assassination, and everything seemed to be back on track.
After some beating, the black cat Nice sent a big gift the next day, a heavy, organized magic book that recorded all kinds of magic it had learned.
Charlotte probably rolled her eyelids, and her eyelids jumped wildly.
Good guys, from the easiest apprentice magic to the high-level magic that can only be learned by the third order of the Blazing Sun, there are two or three hundred, there are all kinds of magic, and even a few legendary magic and forbidden magic!
Outrageous, a cat who doesn't even have a rank can still master forbidden magic?!
Sunset Firefall, Extreme Ice, Slaying Thorn, Blasphemous Eye......
What are these names that sound so bad?
And is there something strange mixed in?
This guy ...... What the hell is going on?
Charlotte grew more and more curious.
"You can forbid magic?"
She asked quietly.
"Uh...... Not now, for now, I can only use the lower level magic at most...... It's pretty good to be able to use a few magic spells. ”
Nice is sneering.
Charlotte: ......
Charlotte wanted to ask where it had learned its legendary and forbidden magic, but the black cat began to talk to him again, clearly not wanting to talk about it.
The girl didn't ask any more questions, but she just felt that this guy was really like Sebas said, and his whole body was a secret.
With the magic book provided by Nice, Charlotte was also excited, wanting to try and learn a few magic spells to improve her strength.
But alas, she gave up after two days of trying.
Because she found that she had no magic circuit.
In the world of Miria, in order to learn magic, you must have a magic circuit, which is similar to the heart of the Knight's Source Power.
But it's a pity.
The Bloodline's body gave Charlotte extraordinary powers, but at the same time, it also replaced her original magic circuit.
Until a solution is found, she will not be able to learn magic beyond the Bloodline's talents.
Over the next few days, Charlotte continued to return to her usual routine.
In the morning, the priests of the church were invited to take her to worship and praise the great light, and in the afternoon, they accompanied the newlyweds to train and get closer.
The only difference is that every day she drinks some of the essence blood of the bipedal wyvern to increase her strength.
Before you know it, another few days have passed, and the charge of the blood summoning is about to be completed again, and the prestige technique is getting closer and closer to perfection, but the effect of drinking the transcendent blood is getting worse and worse.
However, Charlotte's strength has improved significantly.
Although she didn't try, she felt that under the nourishment of essence and blood, her current self should be very close to the first order in terms of physical fitness alone.
After a few days of companionship and closeness, the boys and girls have a better and higher impression of Charlotte, and several probationary knights even have a tendency to become girly shapes, gradually licking dogs.
It can only be said that adolescent boys and girls are really good-looking creatures.
When encountering Charlotte, a "master" who looks like a city and is gentle and considerate to them, the children can't hold it at all, and it is easy to disarm and surrender.
Except for Shirley.
The maid is still like an iceberg.
No matter how Charlotte teased, the other party looked cold.
Only when he played a prank like a black fairy tale before, the other party's unchanged face would occasionally change.
This makes bullying Shirley and watching the other party's face change another fun for Charlotte.
For example, while the other party was putting on clothes, he quietly attacked the figure of the horse from behind......
When the other party's ears were slightly red, his body trembled, and he turned back angrily, he showed an innocent and pitiful look.
Another example is that when the other party is cleaning, take advantage of the silence of the blood clan to sneak close to the other party, and blow a breath in the other party's ear while not paying attention......
It's so funny to see the cute appearance of the little maid being startled and her hair standing on end all over her body.
For another example, like the previous storytelling, adapt a few black fairy tales and write them on parchment and quietly place them in the room that the other party needs to clean......
Watching the other party habitually pick up parchment paper when cleaning the room, gradually attracted by the story, and then suddenly being poked with a knife, and suddenly petrified the cute appearance on the spot, it really made Charlotte feel happy.
"Have you had enough? Please don't disturb my work. ”
Shirley said coldly.
Charlotte elegantly raised her goblet, took a sip of milk, and smiled innocently:
"This milk is so delicious."
Shirley: ......
Of course, Charlotte's teasing is also grasped.
It will not be too exciting to the limits of the other party's heart, but also let his figure appear in the other party's life at any time.
At the same time, she will also inadvertently give the girl some interesting gadgets according to the details she observes, or show her concern for the girl in her daily life.
There is tension and relaxation, sustainable development.
Slow...... Stew icebergs!
Anyway, Charlotte can also see that Shirley's heart is not easy to accept, but she is a serious person who values commitment.
After listening to her parents' words to become a maid, she is really serious about being a maid, of course...... And just working as a maid.
She won't leave on her own initiative, but she won't be truly loyal either.
Then Charlotte will let herself go.
Set a small goal first, and then take off the other party's cold coat!
Of course, fighting, bullying, and teasing, gradually the scope spreads......
Charlotte's daily game has evolved from teasing Shirley alone to sticking to the newcomer's maids.
Aristocracy is important to demeanor.
These little maids inherited from their parents' appearance, their image is not bad, and they are all goddesses in their previous lives.
A group of eye-catching loli stayed together, even if they didn't do anything, the beautiful scene was also touched and yearned for by the young apprentice knights and mage apprentices on the side, and it was extremely healing.
Especially the eldest lady who is always surrounded by an angel.,Beautiful and charming like an angel.。
And since the crossing, Charlotte finally feels another obvious benefit of being a cute girl:
Mingle with girls and do it legally and reasonably...... It's so convenient!
And......
Girls are really fragrant and soft!
Of course, Charlotte didn't know that her maids had exactly the same thoughts in their hearts as she did.
It's just that they are glad to be Miss Castell's maid, which is really ......
That's great!
As the saying goes, when you are eating other people's tofu, you may also be eating tofu by others.
However, what puzzled Charlotte was that three days had passed, and Sebas, who had gone to investigate Jordan, still hadn't returned.
But she and Sebas have not been together for a long time, and they don't know if this kind of irregular disappearance is an inherent habit of the other party.
Good laid-back times always fly by.
Unconsciously, in the wool of the holy light, bullying Shirley, training trainee knights and mages, and sticking with the beautiful and cute trainee maid...... It's the end of the day.
As the week passed, the boys and girls came to visit their families, and on Saturday night they all went home in the carriage disguised by the Rose Society.
More than fifty people left, and the lively manor returned to desertion.
The weather on Sunday was a bit gloomy.
The clouds were thick, and I thought it was going to rain.
After the morning service and the final charge of the Call of Blood, Charlotte sat quietly in her study reading alone.
Sebas never returned, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart, wondering if something had happened to her and whether she needed to use the summon of blood to contact the other party.
But after some hesitation, she decided to wait another day.
However, until the evening, not to mention Sebas, even teenagers and girls...... Nor did anyone come back.
Charlotte finally sensed something was wrong.
At this moment, a thunderclap sounded outside the window, dazzling lightning pierced the dark clouds, and the wind began to how.
With a violent knock on the door, Quasimodo's panicked voice came:
"The hosts! Master! Big things are wrong! ”
"The Inquisition has issued a divine ruling on the Rose Society, condemning it to be an evil group that needs to be purified!"
"Knight of Judgment...... It's out! ”
