The Charles Becomes a Wizard

Not to mention the butler whose strength is unclear, what makes them think that Mr. Grindelwald will not leave anything life-saving for his only apprentice?

"Crazy?" The wizard called "Nott" looked at Selwyn with contempt.

"Selwyn, I think you are frightened."

"Are you really willing to let those lowly and clumsy Muggles trample on us?"

How could I be willing!

But the reluctance in his heart was not enough to make Selwyn take such a big risk to do something that might very well bring disaster to the entire family.

Nott looked at Selwyn with eyes full of contempt and disappointment, then he snorted coldly and turned around to discuss the next plan with the wizards who had been instigated by him.

While the wizards were talking, the hunting team over there began to move. Accompanied by a long dog whistle, the hunting dogs carefully raised by the Phantomhive family were the first to break into the dense forest, and the people riding on tall horses followed closely behind.

The open space in front of the manor soon became quiet, with only wizards and servants holding various snacks and drinks to entertain the guests.

The black-clad butler who made the wizards feel fearful was also among them.

This discovery gave confidence to several wizards with ill intentions. Not long after, they found an excuse to return to their rooms and sneaked into the forest.

The few wizards who were left behind were silent for a long time, but did not reveal any information to the people around them.

After all, they were also not very satisfied with Charles' previous attitude, and they secretly hoped that the arrogant child would fall hard.

The reason why they did not act with others was simply because they were more thoughtful and better at protecting themselves.

Regardless of whether this plan succeeds or not, those who take action will most likely be discovered by Mr. Grindelwald. Given their current situation, it would be very unwise to rashly provoke such a powerful enemy.

Moreover, after last night's dinner, they could also see that the boy was probably trying to select a future partner.

If the assassination plan fails, those who took action will inevitably be retaliated against, and those who did nothing will be exposed. Not only will they not have to dirty their hands, but they can also eliminate their competitors. Why not do it?

......

In the lush forest, the hunting team was not difficult to find, and the wizards quickly locked onto Charles' location.

For these powerful wizards, just a small confounding spell was enough to confuse the group of Muggles and separate Charles from the entire team.

"Humph, as expected, without the protection of external forces, he is just a little kid who knows nothing." Looking at Charles who was still riding his horse unconsciously towards the depths of the forest, Nott snorted coldly.

The wizards following behind him all gave him malicious looks, and then took out their wands, ready to drive away the beasts and eat the defenseless boy as planned.

But at this moment, Charles suddenly stopped, and his deep blue eyes looked straight in their direction.

"You've been following me for so long, aren't you planning on coming out?"

The boy's clear voice startled the wizards. They looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to remove the spell that was used to hide their bodies.

"I was wondering how I could leave the team without being noticed. You guys really helped me a lot." Charles said as he raised the whip in his hand.

"Since you have solved a small problem for me, I think I should thank you in person." Charles' lips curled up slightly, "Mr. Nott, please come out and meet me."

His tone was sincere and polite, as if he was inviting the other person to a dinner party.

Nott's heart sank when he was directly named, and his face became a little stiff. This feeling of being seen through was very bad, as if he was just a clown in the other person's eyes.

His figure soon appeared behind a big tree.

The middle-aged wizard, who exuded a sinister aura, looked solemnly at the boy who was still sitting high on his horse: "Did you know that we would attack you?"

"It's just a reasonable guess." Ciel's eyes swept over Norman casually. "Is there a better time to deal with a child who is always protected by a powerful wizard?"

"Your friends'? Aren't you going to invite them to come out?"

"They won't abandon you and expect you to bear the revenge of the Phantomhive family alone, right?"

Charles made a casual provocative remark, and Nott's face became even uglier after he said this.

After a while, other wizards also showed up one after another - even if they ran away now, it was too late. Based on their understanding of Nott and the others, if anything went wrong, these guys would definitely give them away.

Instead of letting others put the blame on you, it is better to take the initiative to show up. Who knows, there may be a chance to turn things around.

Children this age should be easy to coax...

The wizards still held out hope.

"So, this is a trap?" Nott asked while looking around vigilantly.

"Don't be so nervous." Ciel glanced casually at the wizards who appeared. Sure enough, the few fanatical followers of the pure-blood theory that he had paid special attention to were all there. "I'm the only one here."

The wizards were stunned for a moment. They had never expected that Charles would have this attitude.

If it wasn't a trap,

He went to so much trouble to lure them out, what on earth was he planning to do?

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't think you can deal with us by yourself, do you?" One of the wizards laughed as he spoke.

"Ah, there's no need for any ambush to deal with you." Charles raised his chin slightly, with a proud and noble attitude.

"Stop joking!" Nott stared at Charles with his lifeless eyes and raised the wand in his hand.

"Don't underestimate the adults, you little brat!"

To the wizards' surprise, the evil curse cast by Nott was easily blocked by Charles.

The delicate-looking boy tilted his head and chuckled with an ambiguous meaning.

It was this chuckle that completely broke the nerves in Nott's brain.

"What are you still standing there for? If we don't kill him now, we'll be the next to die!" Nott shouted to the wizards around him while casting spells at Charles.

"You don't really think that if you let him leave alive, he will let you go?"

"If you have the ability to kill me directly, then come and try it." The boy with blue hair and blue eyes tilted his head and smiled particularly beautifully.

The wizards who felt they were being looked down upon quickly joined the battle, and Charles, who had been able to cope with it before, immediately became overwhelmed.

Even though I have gone through the devilish training of Gellert and his men, it is not easy to face so many adult wizards at once...

After being knocked off his horse by a spell, Charles was strangled by the wizard from behind and had his wand pressed against his chin as he thought so.

"Humph, you are such an ignorant brat. You're trying to control us with this little ability." Nott lifted Charles' chin with the tip of his wand.

"You lowly and despicable Mudblood, after you are devoured by the beast, this pretty face of yours will surely be unrecognizable, right?" There was a flash of resentment in Nott's eyes.

However, he did not see the expression of panic, helplessness, regret and despair on the boy's face that he wanted to see.

In fact, the boy looked very calm, and he could even see a hint of sarcasm in the other person's eyes.

"Nott, I don't think you understand my style." Charles' lips curled up slightly.

"There are no rules in this world," Nott saw a complicated magic circle suddenly appear in the boy's right eye, and then heard him say, "Even if there are, they were created by me."

This discovery made Nott take a step back unconsciously, and then he felt a panic, as if some danger was approaching.

"Come to me, Sebastian!"

Before he finished speaking, except for Nott and the wizard who controlled Charles from behind, the other wizards screamed almost at the same time, and then they fell to the ground without knowing whether they were dead or alive.

Seeing the black-clad butler Nott suddenly appear in front of him, his pupils suddenly tightened and his heart skipped a beat. The wand against Charles' neck sank directly into his flesh.

"Oh my," Sebastian adjusted his gloves, his face looking somewhat helpless, "Is being kidnapped your only talent?"

"Stop talking nonsense. You're taking too long." Charles frowned and said in a commanding tone, "This position is very uncomfortable. Get rid of them quickly."

"You clearly said you didn't want me to disturb your game, Master." Sebastian raised his index finger. "Besides, didn't you let them catch you on purpose?"

"Who would do something like that on purpose!!!"

"I thought you had some special preference for this kind of gesture," Sebastian said with a faint smile, "After all, you always do this every now and then."

Charles, with a clear cross on his forehead, heard a low roar of near collapse from the side before he could even say "ha".

"Stop it!" Nott's cloudy eyes widened as he looked at Sebastian with fear in his eyes, and the force of the wand pressing on Charles' neck became stronger.

"If you dare to come any closer, I will kill him!"

"That's what he said, Master." Sebastian simply glanced at Nott, then turned his gaze back to Charles and asked sincerely, "What should I do now?"

Ciel: “…”

"Stop playing around." Ciel glared at Sebastian unhappily. "This is an order, Sebastian. Take care of them."

"Yes, my lord."

These were the last words Nott heard before he completely lost consciousness.

Charles raised his hand to cover his painful neck, turned sideways and coughed twice, then took the handkerchief handed to him by Sebastian and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"This game is not fun at all." Ciel glanced at the wizards lying on the ground with some disdain, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "How are the others?"

"The other wizards are quite honest and are learning to ride horses according to your request," Sebastian replied, "Everyone is having a good time during the hunt, but..."

"Just what?"

"Mr. Liu seems to have noticed that you have left the team. Do you need to communicate with him?"

Ciel shook his head: "No need, he is a smart man and knows what to say and what not to say."

"So, sir, what are you going to do with these people?" Sebastian asked.

Except for Nott, the other wizards merely temporarily lost consciousness and ability to move.

"Ah..." Ciel thought for a moment, "Send them to Voldemort."

"Oh my," Sebastian opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then smiled faintly. "You really are worthy of being the notorious young master."

"At least we haven't directly torn our relationship with Voldemort yet," Ciel's lips curled up in a very similar arc to Sebastian's. "If we find the traitors of our 'allies', we must return them to their real masters for handling..."

"Not only will it strike a blow to Voldemort, but it will also force the wizards who are still staying in the manor to publicly stand for themselves." Sebastian clapped his hands softly. "Kill two birds with one stone."

"I don't need a chess piece that doesn't obey my orders." Charles looked at the horse that ran back to him, raised his hand and patted its neck soothingly. Then he tightened the reins, turned over and sat on the horse's back neatly.

There are only two choices for those wizards now. Either to openly betray Voldemort and seek his protection, or to wait for these people to betray them and then crawl at their feet to accept inhumane torture. I think everyone should know how to choose, right?

Want to have their feet on both sides? Charles won't give them that opportunity.

Charles took the whip that Sebastian handed to him and said, "I'll leave it to you." Then he whipped the horse and rushed towards the originally designed hunting route.

Not to mention how furious Voldemort was when he received the "gift" from Sebastian, the wizards waiting in the manor were instantly disappointed when they saw Ciel, who had returned to the manor with the team in one piece, as if nothing had happened.

When they found out that the wizards who participated in the assassination had not returned, they became even more panicked.
