The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Volume Three: Chapter 290 II, "Act One"

At noon, in the castle of the royal family.

Jackie, who walked through the corridor, came to Charlotte's room and started the day's report.

With Jackie's status in Charlotte's camp, she actually doesn't need to do this kind of secretary work.

However, it is somewhat troublesome to often replenish the "consumed" people in this position.And, with only six days left until the Advent Ceremony, Jackie didn't want any unexpected mistakes.

After knocking on the door and entering Charlotte's room, Jackie was still greeted with the most charming smile.

"Is there any conclusion about the other castle?"

Facing Charlotte's question, Jackie directly handed the document containing the report information to Charlotte.

"So that's how it is...the members of the Mystery Society who were placed in the Camprete forces and the surrounding members are all missing, and only one member reluctantly sent back this information?"

Charlotte flipped through the information above casually,

"Jackie, do you have any ideas?"

"I think it's suspicious, President. The timing is too ingenious. Just when the date of the ceremony is approaching, the huge power that used to be in the old capital suddenly disappeared in just one day. And..."

"Besides, it's the time when the Conclave is already planning to take action against that restaurant...isn't it?"

"Yes."

Following Jackie's response, Charlotte also began to think.It's just that she looked a little weird when she was thinking, as if she was shelling out of her soul, looking at an empty place with empty eyes.

"It may seem suspicious to you, but from my perspective, everything makes sense..."

After a long time, Charlotte escaped from the strange state,

"Although the reason is unknown, the 'Grim Reaper' of the Adventurer's Guild is in the earl's camp. It should have happened that the god of death attacked Campret Castle and the House of Eudemons. Presumably, the Earl was caught between them , it must be very uncomfortable."

Charlotte let out a few light laughs as if imagining Riber's embarrassing figure,

"In order to stop the 'Reaper', or choose to help him win over the thugs, it is not surprising that the Earl was involved in that incident...Let me look at this report, the companions at that time... .”

Charlotte looked at the list in the file, showing a somewhat surprised expression,

"It's really luxurious... The reason why only the Earl can gather so many important people is something that I have never figured out. Obviously, judging from what happened during the performance, he really didn't know what was supposed to happen. "

Talking to himself, Charlotte's eyes settled on a name,

"Is it Alice... Is it that Alice? But no matter what, she should be just a child now. Is it because she has shown her hidden strength that she participated in this incident? Or is it Because of the similar appearance to Nightingale, the Earl wants to drop by the family to find out what happened..."

After thinking for a while, he casually threw the file aside.

"All in all, judging from the news that came back, the Earl should no longer be able to pose a threat to us. That witch must have imprisoned him."

"Is that woman who appeared a witch?"

Even though she knew that Charlotte was probably not talking to her, but just talking to herself, but facing such a heavy message, Jackie couldn't help but react.

"Not just a witch, but also a representative figure in that mysterious organization."

Charlotte said with a heavy tone.Then, with a playful mentality, I watched Jackie's expression change drastically.

"This... if there are other witches..."

Jackie was visibly flustered.

Because, all the battles in this city are actually just one sentence.

To become a witch.

And no matter how special and powerful the witch born at that time is, a real witch at this stage can undoubtedly easily knock off the table.

In the past, witches only lived in legends after all.The man-made witches of the Campret family and the Church of the True King are also far from the real witches.Even, the witch in the royal capital behaved quite unbearably, that's why Jackie didn't feel the threat from the witch.

"Do not worry."

Charlotte got up, walked slowly to Jackie's side, raised her hand high, and stroked Jackie's hair for a while,

"She is too busy to take care of herself now, and she has no spare energy to intervene in our affairs, and what has descended is not the real body. Besides, don't you also know that the power of the witch in this city is almost like poison to ordinary witches. .Only the Regret Witch, who has been in this city for many years and is the maker of these powers, can adapt to some. And, it's just a little bit."

Listening to Charlotte's words, Jackie's heart calmed down a lot.

Indeed, even the Witch of Remorse, because of the pure power of the old capital, put herself in it.

No matter what the purpose is, it is an indisputable fact that the power of reincarnation of the remorse witch is out of control.For a witch, rules are everything to her.Therefore, falling into a situation where even one's own rules cannot be driven according to one's own will, remorse for a witch is completely a witch disqualification.

If the situation of the old capital is widely spread, it may attract the covetousness of many witches.However, if they want to accept these powers smoothly, they will not be able to succeed overnight.

"Besides, the witch is not unsolvable. At least, I know the rules of that witch. So, if she wants to break into the game rashly, I don't mind inviting her into my 'garden'. "

As an existence that is familiar with all the secrets of the old capital and the royal family, and can be used to a certain extent.

Charlotte might be afraid of monsters like "Reaper" who have no reason to talk about.But obviously, the clone of the witch who appeared around Campret Castle was not among them.

"After taking away my worrying junior, the 'Madame' probably won't come again. In other words, let the Earl escape."

Charlotte said with some regret,

"Overall, the current Earl is a strange person. So, if it is my other type of 'kind' who escapes, I may think that he will become an obstacle for me in the future. But his words...I can't think of it What can he do..."

Charlotte started talking to herself again, but there was not much contempt for Riber in her tone.More, a curious doubt.

"President. As expected, I still think that we cannot relax our vigilance against Earl Campret."

"Oh?"

Seeing Jackie rarely expressing her thoughts, Charlotte continued softly,

"I know that after making so many deployments, he escaped in an unexpected way, which makes people feel like hitting the cotton with all his strength, so it will be very uncomfortable. However, he has been picked up by the witch. We always Can't you keep chasing him to the stronghold of that mysterious organization?"

"No...it's not like that..."

Jackie, who has been in close contact with Charlotte, has a somewhat awkward expression and tone,

"I think that the Earl of Campret didn't escape, but ... hid, hid. Because, just when we had already made the plan for the 'Death' to sleep and start operations, he happened to be here The timing, and the silence that the entire family has fallen into. It's really... really..."

"Ambush? Is that different from escaping? The tragedy of Campret Castle cannot be faked. It is a fact that a tragic war broke out there. The purpose of ambush is to fight back, but the Earl not only lost the 'Death'" The left arm, and cut off the right arm of the family power. How can a person without an arm make a threatening counterattack?"

Charlotte said nonchalantly,

"Moreover, based on the information I have, from my perspective, there is no part of the whole thing that I cannot understand. So, if this is a conspiracy, it is after completely mastering my psychology and targeting me alone. conspiracy."

"A few days ago, like a stray dog ​​begging for a bite to eat, the impulsive, blind and arrogant Earl, who was barking loudly and making a fool of himself everywhere, can really be completely eliminated within a few days. To be someone else, to dig out a tailor-made trap for me?"

"If he can really do it..."

Charlotte said, showing a happy smile,

"That's not my carelessness, but that he really did a great job, and he completely recognized me. Even if I suffered a loss in the end, I will admit it."

"..."

Jackie still seemed a little uneasy, but she certainly couldn't change Charlotte's mind.

"At least...send someone to keep watching Campret Castle, and also search for other members of the Earl Campret's camp."

"Well, yes. By the way, let's find some members of the Four Corners Society. Since they were the Earl's biggest supporters before, they should also hide now when the Earl's accident happened."

When Charlotte said this, she suddenly paused,

"Speaking of which, why are you just staring and not going in to investigate? I remember the report said that there is no man's land over there. Therefore, there will be no more people from the Campret family to stop it."

"It's because of the miasma, President. Since that day, the area around Caprete Castle has been completely covered by deadly black miasma. It's also because of the miasma that it became a no-man's land where you can't set foot."

"Black Miasma..."

Charlotte pondered for a while,

"Is it a curse from the 'Reaper'? However, it is not certain, everyone will be corroded by the black miasma, right? Maybe, if you try enough times, there will be people who are immune to the miasma."

"President, what do you mean..."

"Since you are worried, Jackie, we'd better confirm whether the Earl and the others are hiding in the ruins of the castle. And I think there will always be someone who is willing to investigate for us."

Charlotte said lightly.

"Yes!"

Jackie, took Charlotte's order.

"Speaking of which, the destructive power of the 'Reaper' is really too exaggerated. If such a big castle disappears suddenly, someone will notice it, right?"

Charlotte sighed softly.

"Before the ceremony, I don't want any unnecessary rumors or waves to arise."

"I don't know if we can successfully block the news in the past few days..."

...

...

at dusk.

In the empty audience hall of the royal castle, the seventh princess with only one attendant sat on the throne to welcome a special guest.

With a graceful figure, stepping on the red carpet step by step, it was a woman wearing a hood that covered her face.

The word suspicious was almost written all over her body, the only facial feature exposed was her mouth.

The woman's lips were extraordinarily bright red, as if she had deliberately applied bright fuel.

"I didn't expect that you would really appear in front of me again, Ms. Mysterious Man."

Charlotte called this woman a mysterious person.

This is not a bad idea, but when this lady showed up in the past, she claimed to be a "mysterious person".

At the beginning, it was this mysterious person who appeared in front of Charlotte and the others many times, proposing and co-planning the plan to destroy the diva camp.

Charlotte still doesn't know who the mysterious man is.I don't even remember that such a person would have appeared in the first place.

She only knew that this mysterious man knew Ribel very well, and even knew about Riber's previous life.

Because the mysterious man knew too much about Ribel, Charlotte once thought that the mysterious man might be Ribel's companion.It's just that they are talking about using him and deceiving him.

It wasn't until Charlotte saw this mysterious man that he was really merciless that he manipulated the Earl.

"Of course I will come to see you again, Your Royal Highness."

The mysterious man slightly bent his back and said in a very gentle voice.There was a strange allure in her voice,

"This is our 'agreement.'"

The agreement between Charlotte and the mysterious man is very simple.

That is, when Charlotte and the others held a ceremony to absorb the power of the pure witch after the Silver Diva camp collapsed, the mysterious man also got a share.

And the reason is that the mysterious man will appear in front of Charlotte.It's because the mysterious man can't hold the witch ceremony, so he needs to borrow Charlotte's ceremony.Be the beneficiary of the ritual by becoming another object of the ritual.

"You seem to always talk about 'agreement'. As far as I know, there is a kind of existence that cares about 'agreement' very much. The so-called agreement is simply a kind of agreement that only takes effect between the two parties. the rule of."

Charlotte looked at the mysterious man,

"Are you a witch?"

"It depends on your definition of a witch, Your Highness."

The mysterious man replied ambiguously.

After hearing the mysterious man's answer, Charlotte waved her hand as if she had lost interest, and then ordered the valet to fetch something.

Not long after, a bottle of bright red blood was handed over to Charlotte.

"Then let's begin."

Volume Three: Chapter 290 Three, "Act Two"

In the audience hall.

A large number of wonderful lines emerged above the ground.

Charlotte threw the bottle forward and smashed it to the ground.

And looking at the blood spilled from the grain extraction bottle, emitting a particularly bewitching purple light, the mysterious man who calmly folded his hands in front of him expressed emotion,

"I didn't expect that there would be a sacrificial place between the audience with the throne."

"Convenient, isn't it?"
