Tome of Blood Chapter 40

  Chapter 40-40-The Sinful Woman

  The style of clothing changes the appearance of a person.

  Charlotte is at the right age, and she develops relatively late, and looks young.

  When she puts on children's clothes and looks cute, she is an innocent, cute and charming child.

   And when she puts on a mature evening dress, the immaturity of the child is covered up, and the sense of girlishness is enhanced in a straight line.

  Especially today, she deliberately asked the maid to paint her with a slightly mature makeup.

  This is Charlotte's little thought.

  Before, in order to make it easier to be cute and lower the vigilance of others, she would deliberately wear some clothes with a strong sense of youthfulness to enhance her sexuality.

   But at this dinner party, she must let everyone know that the heir of the Castel family is not just a child.

  She has passed her fifteenth birthday.

   She is going to grow up and ready to inherit the territory.

  So, the effect came.

  The moment Charlotte stepped off the carriage, the entire garden square fell silent.

  All eyes were on her, no matter men or women, it was difficult to look away for a while.

  In the end, the well-trained deacons of the Duke's Mansion responded the fastest. They were the first to recover, and instantly put on respectful and enthusiastic smiles, and quickly came to Charlotte.

   It's just that someone is faster than them.

   "Oh! It's Miss Charlotte! Miss Charlotte, you're here!"

  A thin and enthusiastic voice came over.

  The fat aristocrat Bruno dragged his flannel-like body and trotted all the way to Charlotte, his small eyes cracked into slits.

   Charlotte, who has been supplementing the information of the Duke's mansion, already knows the exact identity of the other party. He is a second-level butler of the Duke of Boulder's mansion, and has the title of Viscount of the court.

  Court titles, in the Myria continent, specifically refer to those court nobles who have titles but no fiefdoms, and are often found in the courts of duchies, kingdoms, grand duchies, or empires.

   "Good afternoon, Viscount Bruno."

  Charlotte elegantly performed a noble lady salute.

   She is already very proficient in this set of movements, so proficient that she feels distressed for herself.

  Bruno seemed quite happy when the girl called out his name.

  He triumphantly raised his chin towards the other housekeepers who were not running as fast as him, and then told the deacon who followed:

   "What are you still doing in a daze? Quickly help Countess Castel arrange the carriage!"

  The deacons acted quickly, busy around the carriage of the Castel family, leaving other nearby nobles aside, even though...Charlotte doesn't need so many deacons at all.

   Bruno enthusiastically led Charlotte to the Duke's Palace.

  The black cat Niss also jumped out of the carriage, with his tail raised high, and he followed up with his head held high, with a proud expression on his face.

   It wasn't until the girl's figure gradually disappeared that other people in the garden square responded one after another.

   "Which noble lady is that, she is so beautiful..."

   "Didn't you see it? The family crest on the carriage is a black eagle."

   "Castel? Hiss... is she? Is it true that she is a demagogic succubus as the rumors say?"

   "Tch, have you ever seen a succubus walking in the sun? In my opinion, she looks so good-looking, she must be a witch who knows black magic!"

  This is a conversation among civilians watching the excitement.

  Rumours have been rampant in Boulder City recently, and they are the ones who watch the fun, and they are also the ones who make conspiracy theories.

   There is no way around this. The public is the most likely to be led astray by public opinion. They lack sources of real information and can only be led by the nose by the nobles who manipulate public opinion.

  Information cocoons exist in any era.

   However, the nobles are different:

   "The one from Castel is here."

   "She is so beautiful, and her etiquette is very standard and elegant. She is worthy of being the heir of the Castel family."

   "It's a pity that she has been plagued by rumors recently, and she must have a headache."

   "I don't know in which family she will choose a marriage partner..."

   "Yeah, I don't know who will be the lucky one, the Castel family's dowry is half the size of the principality!"

   What is a rumor and what is the truth, these sanctimonious guys can clearly distinguish.

   Those who can't tell the difference are not qualified to accept the banquet invitation from the Duke's house.

   While discussing, the aristocrats who were a little more powerful obviously quickened their pace and kept up with the girl's team.

   If you look carefully, you will notice that among the noble families who participated in the banquet this time, apart from the head of the family, all the people who came to the banquet were young and handsome male family members.

  Everyone's eyes moved with the girl's movement, as if they were always ready to talk to each other, and the eye contact between each other was even more ignited.

   Coupled with the unique gorgeous costumes and exaggerated shapes of the nobles, they look like a group of flower peacocks who are always ready for a duel.

  Charlotte also noticed.

   She even turned her head to look at them curiously and smiled politely.

   As a result, this casual glance and polite smile excited a large group of young nobles:

   "She looked at me! She just looked at me!"

   "No! She's looking at me! She's still smiling at me!"

   "He's clearly looking at me!"

   "Asshole! You're looking at me!"

   "Want to duel?!"

   "Come on! Who is afraid of whom!"

   It's a mess.

  Of course, the above are impulsive young nobles, mostly from small and medium families.

  Several nobles who are also earls, the "marriage competitors" are much more elegant and gentlemen.

  They came around the girl unobtrusively, they were polite, they raised the topic casually, with elegant and charming smiles on their faces.

   Among them, there are some faces that are much more handsome than those of Blue Star and other traffic stars in the previous life, enough to make any girl scream, making Charlotte envious to death, sour.

   But I have to say that these guys' social skills are really awesome.

  Even if they know that they have evil intentions, and they are full of masculine hostility towards their handsome faces in their hearts, the topics they raise can often successfully arouse Charlotte's interest.

   But alas...

  Their winking eyes were thrown to the blind man.

  Charlotte is indeed very interested in the topics they talked about and the information revealed by the various nobles, but she has no feeling for them personally.

Not only that, seeing these people come up reservedly and gracefully, expressing themselves enthusiastically, thinking that their real purpose is to greedy their own bodies and property, Charlotte even had a feeling of directly punching them down on the ground, and then The urge to stomp **** their faces with their feet...

Oh no.

   Can't step on their faces by themselves.

  Who knows if there are any weird XP guys in this group of rutting hyenas, for them it may become a reward instead.

  Charlotte is quite confident about her beautiful legs and feet.

   Quasimodo should step on it hard!

   She thought to herself.

  Of course, even if you can hear some information, a group of flies hovering around your ears for a long time is enough to be annoying.

   It's been a long time, and Charlotte is also a little impatient.

  However, someone was more anxious than her.

   "What are you all doing here? I'm going to take Miss Charlotte to meet the Duke. Are you going to follow?!"

   The fat butler Bruno spoke.

  The young nobles were instantly discouraged and retreated one after another.

  As one of the few blazing sun third-order transcendents in Boulder, the title of Duke is still very resounding.

  Charlotte moved slightly in her heart:

   "Your Excellency...want to see me?"

   "Yes, Miss Charlotte, the Duke is waiting for you in the study, and said that you have arrived, so he will take you to see him first."

   Bruno smiled obsequiously.

  Charlotte nodded slightly, thoughtful, then continued to follow Bruno into the palace with a reserved smile, and she was full of energy in her heart.

   Being a nobleman again, with Bruno leading the way, Charlotte naturally avoided the personal inspection at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

   However, just as she was about to enter the gate of the inner palace, she heard someone calling her name from behind.

  Looking back, the black cat Niss was picked up by the back of the neck like a chicken by the starry knight guarding the mansion. He was meowing, struggling non-stop, and looking at himself with a pitiful expression.

  Beside, there is still a somewhat bewildered Quasimodo...

   "The Duke's Mansion stipulates that pets... are not allowed in!"

  Starry Knight looked at the old servant with a serious face.

  Charlotte:  …
