Tome of Blood Chapter 49

Chapter 49-49-The Briar Rose Who Was Framed

After leaving the side hall and returning with a new set of spare dresses with the help of the maid, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the great priest is very kind, kind, and friendly, but for some reason, Charlotte always has a feeling of restlessness when staying with the other party.

This is completely different from the feeling when she was with the old priest Raoul. Charlotte also stayed with Raoul when she was in the church hospital, so she didn't feel this way at all.

It may be because the high priest is a high-ranking priest, which made her, a little blood, feel guilty; or it may be that the other party invited her to drink milk, which made her subconsciously think of the crazy old woman in her family, a little PTSD.

In short, after leaving the side hall, Charlotte felt a lot more relaxed, and her whole body was also much more relaxed.

The next banquet was not very interesting. After tasting all kinds of delicacies, the girl was already full, and she did not enter the dance in the second half of the banquet because she was unwell.

In fact, even if Charlotte enters the arena, it is estimated that there will be the first half of the declaration. In order to avoid misunderstandings by the church, no young nobleman would dare to invite her to dance.

If anyone dared to invite, I am afraid that only the Duke himself and the great priest.

But the old duke is quite old, and he probably won't be able to save face, and the great priest has also gone to rest.

Sebastian was watching helplessly from a distance, obviously wanting to do something, but after some hesitation, he honestly acted as a little transparent in the corner.

Charlotte is very satisfied, this guy is still very sensible, no one dares to approach her now, if he, the president of the Rose Society, comes here rashly, it is clear that there is something wrong.

No one came to invite, so Charlotte felt at ease, and ran to the viewing platform outside to enjoy the wind alone.

Anyway, she didn't skip ballroom dancing, even in the memory of her original body, she didn't learn much due to her age and going out.

It was the black cat Niss, who ran over again at some point.

And the attitude is surprisingly enthusiastic, as if it has changed into a cat, and it is taking milk for the girl and fruit for the girl.

"Aren't you chatting with Dean Raoul and bragging? Why did you come to find me again?"

The girl gave Nice a strange look.

"Meow! Look at what you said? You are my current master. After finishing the work of the church, of course I will come to you."

Nice the black cat is righteous and authentic.

Charlotte nodded slightly, her eyes gliding across the crowd:

"Dean Raoul, what about them?"

"Already gone, the mission hospital came to work again, and Carla followed."

Nice said.

"Captain Kara? Did something happen again?"

Thinking of the identity of the female knight Kara, Charlotte's heart moved.

"Yeah, it's been less than two weeks since it stopped, and there's another blood demon case."

Nice sighed.

"Blood Demon Case? Where?"

The goblet that Charlotte picked up stopped in mid-air.

"Whether it was a family in the outer city or a family of fallen nobles, I don't know the details, but it is said that almost all of them were wiped out. All three daughters are missing. Only one servant survived and is being rescued at the mission hospital."

Nice said solemnly.

"All destroyed, missing..."

Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly.

She waited for Nis to continue to speak, but found that the other party stopped talking, but looked at her with a hesitant look.

Charlotte was a little strange, but soon recalled it, and her face turned black:

"You don't want to ask me if this has anything to do with me?"

"Cough cough cough...how could it be! You have a grudge against the Blood Demon Cult! It's just..."

Nice hesitated a bit.

Charlotte looked cold:

"Say something quickly."

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Nice said:

"The scene... has your holy emblem."

Holy emblem?

Charlotte was slightly taken aback.

But she quickly reacted:

"The rose of thorns?"

Nice nodded.

Charlotte frowned.

She knew that both Ness and Sebastian regarded her as the revived evil god, and also regarded the rose of thorns as her symbol.

Although it was just a pattern on the carved furniture that she copied casually, combined with the personal information in the "Blood Holy Book", the symbol of the rose of thorns has indeed established some kind of mysterious connection with her and has become her symbol.

Charlotte even suspected that if one day she really became a **** in the future, maybe this pattern might really become a real holy emblem!

But now, this logo has appeared at the scene of a blood demon case, which is a bit intriguing.

"Is it a sacrificial circle?"

The girl asked.

"No, no, this time is not the same as the one at Castel Manor, but it is very similar to other blood demon cases in the past six months. They all killed other people, and the underage daughter disappeared..."

"The church has always suspected that the Gorefiend Cult has not given up and plans to continue to summon the Balrog."

"It's just that the last pattern left by the Gorefiend case was changed from the logo of the Gorefiend Cult to...the rose of thorns."

Nice said.

After speaking, it hesitated for a while, and looked at the girl:

"Miss Charlotte, you said... Could it be that the Gorefiend Cult has also discovered your recovery, so they are deliberately probing?"

Discover my recovery?

No, that's really just a furniture pattern...

However, even Sebastian and Ness regarded me as an evil god. Perhaps the Gorefiend Cult also thought that there was a revived evil **** related to blood races in Boulder, so they took action...

Thinking of this, Charlotte's expression gradually became dignified.

The Gorefiend Cult is probably after her.

In other words, it is aimed at the existence of the symbol behind the thorns and roses.

It's just that she doesn't know what the other party's purpose is.

But no matter what, considering the wonderful connection formed between the symbol of the rose of thorns and herself, Charlotte has a feeling that she can't ignore this matter.

Is the location of the incident in the outer city...

Charlotte thought about it and thought of a good candidate to investigate this matter.

"I see, I will send someone to investigate this matter."

The girl nodded and said lightly.

Nice is a little confused:

"Send someone to investigate? Do you have other people in the outer city?"

But soon, it realized something and jumped up almost instantly:

"Wait! You don't want Sebas to investigate, do you?!"

"Great Miss Charlotte! That guy Sebastian is the most notorious gangster in Boulder! He has a lot of secrets!"

"This guy... not only betrayed Luna Island, but also offended some big forces in the dark! There are troubles all over his body!"

"Not to mention, he was the one who hung you on the cross..."

Charlotte cast a cold glance at Nice before it stopped talking and didn't say the rest of the sentence.

The girl took a sip of milk and said lightly:

"Everyone has a secret, he has a secret, and so do I."

As she spoke, she looked at Nice again, with meaningful eyes:

"Don't you...don't you?"

"I?"

Nice was stunned for a moment, then his eyes wandered for a moment, and he looked elsewhere:

"Meow! Look at what you said! What secrets can I have! I'm just a little cat who can talk and have some little skills! Meow meow meow~!"

"Oh? Small skills, do you mean contract magic and dark summoning?"

Charlotte squinted at it.

Nice instantly felt guilty.

"Tell me, as a 'big man' of the church, how did you meet Sebas? How long have you known each other?"

The girl smiled and glanced at the black cat.

Looking at the girl's bright smile, Nisi's scalp felt numb in an instant:

"Ahem...probably...been a long time? The earliest...um...should have met at a banquet, right?"

The poor black cat didn't realize at all that he originally planned to set up a girl's background, asking the other party about the blood demon case, and at the same time asking how the girl met Sebas.

As a result, a few words turned into being "interrogated" instead.

"Forget it, don't say it if you don't want to."

Looking at the faltering black cat, Charlotte stopped asking.

She tapped the goblet lightly, and said meaningfully:

"In the future, let's talk when you want to talk."

"Okay, I'm a little tired, you go to other places to find other beautiful sisters to get close to."

After finishing speaking, the girl issued an order to expel the guests.

Nice:…

Its expression gradually became awkward.

But seeing the girl's indifferent expression, it quickly realized something, and then became a little entangled.

Nice understood what Charlotte meant.

When will it be able to openly talk about its own affairs, when will the girl truly accept it, and not just treat it as a servant who has been forcibly contracted.

Nice hesitated.

After struggling for a moment, it sighed and saluted Charlotte respectfully:

"Great Master Charlotte, as you said, everyone has their own secrets, and Nice also has Nice's difficulties."

"However, since I signed a contract with you, it is naturally impossible for Nice to betray you."

"Then...Nice will leave first."

Watching the black cat leave, Charlotte sighed slightly.

Nice seems to have more secrets than she imagined.

It seems that there is still a long way to go to completely subdue this guy.

The birthday party at the Duke's house lasted until late at night.

After the banquet, the Duke's Mansion retained the guests, and the guest rooms were ready.

However, after so many things happened, Charlotte didn't really want to stay in the Duke's mansion any longer.

She declined the invitation and chose to return to Castell Manor.

After seeing his master, the old servant Quasimodo hesitated to speak, as if he had a lot to ask.

Charlotte's heart moved, guessing that it was probably related to her declaration at the banquet.

Presumably at this time, the news should have already spread in the Duke's mansion.

However, in the end the old servant still didn't ask, but drove the carriage with all his heart and responsibility.

Late at night, the bustling Boulder City became extremely quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the day.

The carriage drove in the dark, heading towards the western city.

The black cat, Niss, was sleeping soundly in the corner of the carriage, smacking his lips from time to time, and laughing, as if he was having a sweet dream.

Charlotte leaned against the window, admiring the moonlight outside the window.

She felt a little thirsty, probably because of the strength of the night, she wanted to commit blood addiction again.

However, at this moment, the carriage suddenly slowed down, and Quasimodo in front suddenly knocked on the window.

"What's wrong?"

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

"Owner…"

Quasimodo, who was driving, looked serious, leaned back slightly, and whispered through the window:
