The Charles Becomes a Wizard

"What are the results of the investigation into the College of Heraldry?"

"The mark on the ring belongs to Baron Kelpien." Sebastian half-knelt in front of the bed, picked up the wet handkerchief with one hand, held Charles' hand in the other hand, and carefully wiped the palm of the boy sitting beside the bed.

"Lord Kelpien?" Charles frowned.

"Yes, Master, do you know this person?"

"I don't have a good impression of so-called philanthropists," Charles took back his hand and gently turned the ring on his hand. "Although I haven't met him directly, he seemed to have greeted my father at a social dance a few years ago."

However, because he was not a particularly important person, Charles did not have a particularly deep impression of him. He only took a casual glance at him and could not even remember what he looked like.

"Forget it, now that we know your name, that's enough." Charles, who was dressed neatly by the waiter, put on his black gloves for going out, raised his head slightly and instructed Sebastian.

"Sebastian, let's go."

"Yes, my lord."

......

circus.

"You mean someone broke into our tent? What was their purpose?" JOKER frowned as he looked at Snake standing in front of him.

"I don't know about that." Snake paused, "That's what Wordsworth said."

"By the way, can you really understand what the snake says?" Peter, who was curled up in the corner, glanced at him. He and Wendy were both aerial acrobats. Although their figures and appearances were similar to those of six or seven-year-old children, they were the oldest among these people.

A snake coiled around Snake's neck hissed, and Snake dubbed in time: "Are you doubting what I said, idiot!"

"That's what Wordsworth said."

"Do you know who broke in?" JOKER's face darkened.

At this time, another snake popped its head out from Snake's shoulder.

"It's the man in the tuxedo from before."

Snake averted his eyes slightly. "That's what Emily said."

JOKER curled his fingers on his knees slightly, and said to Snake in a casual manner: "Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, go back quickly."

Snake didn't grow up with them, and they weren't as close to him as they had always shown. The news about his "father" had always been kept secret by them, so there was no need for him to know about the following conversation.

Snake knew they had something to discuss, so he didn't stay any longer. He just nodded at the people in the tent, turned around and left.

After he left the tent, JOKER's face darkened.

He was deeply impressed by Sebastian, who stole the show, and even considered recruiting him into the brigade.

Because his personal characteristics are so strong, JOKER never doubted his identity.

"That kind of person...is actually an undercover agent sent by the police to investigate?" JOKER murmured.

"Let's find the person and deal with him as soon as possible." Peter said anxiously.

"But we don't know the other party's true identity now. There are so many people in London, how can we find him?" JUMBO, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Are we just going to wait and do nothing?" Peter asked. "If they are really related to the police..."

"I'm afraid this circus is going to be disbanded."

JOKER thought for a moment and said, "Let's discuss this with my father first."

Who was that guy in the tuxedo? How did he time it so well? How did he happen to be there when they weren't at the circus?

And since he already knew they were not at the circus, was anyone following them that night?

If so, why didn't it stop them from killing people?

What exactly do those people want to do?

I actually watched them send those children to their fathers...

Those children?

not good!

JOKER stood up suddenly: "The letter in my room should have been read by them."

"I'm leaving now."

"However, my father's wish remains the same. If I don't get back in time..."

Peter: "Ah, then we can go by ourselves."

"JOKER, wait a minute!" The voice from behind made JOKER stop.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?" He asked with a smile as he looked at BEAST who was walking quickly towards him.

"Don't do that kind of thing again. Let's run away with this circus to a place where our father can't control us." The woman with black curly hair looked straight at him, her brows slightly furrowed, and her beautiful face was full of sadness.

"We can survive on our own," she said as she approached, her voice pleading, "So, please don't do that again, okay?"

"Over the hills, to faraway places..." JOKER looked at her quietly, and suddenly sighed, "That's impossible. Now is not the time to say such empty words."

"Wait!" BEAST took two quick steps and hugged JOKER's waist tightly from behind.

She was extremely panicked, and the feeling of panic could not be expressed directly in words. She could only convey her thoughts to the other person by constantly tightening her arms.

"What's wrong?" JOKER's usual gentle voice was in my ears. "This is not like you..."

"Isn't this what we decided together? In order to protect everyone's most precious thing..."

“We’re willing to do anything to achieve this.”

"But, but I don't want to see your sad face anymore..." At this moment, BEAST threw all her worries behind her. She just wanted to express her feelings to the person who had given her so much warmth. "Because I..."

"Have you forgotten?" JOKER interrupted her harshly. He turned around and grabbed BEAST's shoulders. Looking at her lost and sad expression, he reluctantly slowed down his tone and said, "There is no way back for us."

"Staying up late is bad for your health. Go back and get some rest." JOKER took off the scarf from around his neck and put it on BEAST, then without waiting for her to say anything, he said "good night" and left.

The soft scarf still carried his body temperature, but BEAST felt as if there was a big hole in his chest and his whole heart seemed to be covered by ice.

BEAST stared at his departing back in a daze, and subconsciously stretched out his arm to keep him, but in the end he caught nothing.

She was going to lose him...

This thought suddenly flashed through BEAST's mind.
