Chapter 92: The Missing Girls

Exiting the spiritual realm, Charlotte returned to reality.She stood up from the ground and left the basement.

Nice, the black cat, was still outside guarding.

When Charlotte pushed open the door of the basement, she saw the cat looking straight at her with its amber-colored eyes, making her feel uneasy.

"Have you seen enough?" the girl said coldly.

Under the gaze of those deep blue eyes, Nice quickly averted its gaze. But it couldn't help occasionally lifting its head to size up Charlotte, struggling to find the right words.

"Spit it out."

Charlotte frowned.

"Um, it's nothing, just a bit curious... Miss Charlotte, did your power recover a bit?"

The black cat asked cautiously.

Huh?

Charlotte looked at it strangely.

"Um... well, I just received a message from the church, although it hasn't been announced yet, but I guess the whole of Borde will know soon..."

Nice scratched its head as it followed Charlotte, speaking hesitantly.

As it spoke, it glanced at Charlotte strangely and swallowed saliva, cautiously saying.

"The Grand Knight of the Inquisition, he... he was slain..."

Charlotte paused slightly, nodding slowly. She returned to her study and sat down again.

Nice, the black cat, voluntarily jumped onto the desk and poured her a cup of hot milk.

"Um... you don't seem surprised? Did you...?"

Nice asked cautiously.

"Me? I've been in Castell Manor all along."

Charlotte said as she elegantly picked up the high-footed cup.

"But I sensed that guy Sebastian! Meow! I definitely wouldn't mistake his dog smell!"

"The aura of that unlucky guy who should have been chased by the Grand Knight actually appeared in the manor, and the Grand Knight suddenly died. Apart from you... I can't think of anyone else who could do it!"

Nice said urgently.

"No worries, someone is more anxious than I am. He'll do everything he can to cover it up."

Charlotte thought to herself.

After confirming, Nice sighed.

"Anyway... I hope you'll be careful. The Holy Court is always vigilant about the resurrection of fallen Gods. Don't let them discover your existence! Otherwise, they'll really send down the Legendary to investigate."

"In this era, it's not like thousands of years ago when you could call the shots."

Listening to the black cat's words, Charlotte's expression gradually became serious.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

She nodded.

After saying that, Charlotte pondered for a moment and said.

"Nice, I need you to do something."

"Meow? What's the matter?"

"Go investigate a person."

"Who?"

"Priest Lottie."

"Priest Lottie? Isn't she Raoul's student? Why do you want to investigate her?"

Nice was puzzled.

"I suspect she's connected to the Blood Demon Cult."

Charlotte paused and said.

"The Blood Demon Cult?!"

The black cat's eyes widened suddenly.

After thinking for a moment, it nodded solemnly.

"I understand, leave it to me!"

After receiving the order, Nice wiggled its butt and left.

Charlotte fell into thought.

The death of the Grand Knight would surely bring a series of chain reactions, and the upper echelons of the Holy Court would definitely send people to investigate.

Nice could think of it, and the Blood Demon Cult could probably think of it too.

Sebastian had mentioned that the Blood Demon Cult was likely brewing a major conspiracy.

If that was the case, perhaps the death of the Grand Knight would also prompt them to act faster.

"It seems I need to act quickly."

Charlotte sighed lightly.

She rang the bell and called a maid. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"Prepare a glass of wine, and... unless there's an order, don't disturb me."

The wine was not for her to drink, but for Sebastian. If she judged correctly, he would be back soon.

After giving the order, in a short while, the maid returned to the study with the prepared wine.

However, the person who came was not just the maid, but also the solemn-faced old servant Casimodo, and more than a dozen boys and girls.

Leading them was Rand, who was now a Starry Sky Knight, and Sherry, who was highly respected among the newcomers.

In the middle of the three was a crying girl with a worried expression.

Charlotte recognized her as one of the newcomers, a trainee maid named Elena.

She also had a younger sister, only twelve years old, also one of the newcomers to the manor.

"Rand, why are you all here? Sherry, shouldn't you be properly recuperating? What are you doing running around?"

Charlotte frowned.

Then, she looked at the tearful girl in front of her and asked.

"What happened?"

"Sorry... mistress, something urgent happened. I need to report to you. It involves the newcomers and many people's families. They... are related, and I couldn't stop them."

Casimodo bowed his head.

Trouble?

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

After Casimodo finished speaking, the boys and girls behind him suddenly all knelt down together.

"Lady Charlotte... please save our comrades and families!"

...

"Hehe, the Lady of the Night probably didn't expect me to have such gains so quickly!"

Having obtained the token of the Dreaming Salon, Sebastian was quite happy. He returned to Castell Manor at the fastest speed.

However, as soon as he entered the manor, he felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit off, quite oppressive.

In the manor, the young boys and girls who were rescued and were originally excited now looked quite anxious.

Huh?

Sebastian's heart skipped a beat.

His figure disappeared and reappeared in front of the study on the second floor of the manor, gently knocking on the door.

"Come in."

A sweet and melodious female voice came from inside the room.

Sebastian opened the door and entered, then respectfully bowed.

"Mistress, I'm back."

As he raised his head, he quickly noticed the prepared wine on the table and the already arranged chairs, looking somewhat surprised.

Huh?

Did the Lady of the Night already know he was coming back?

"Sit."

Behind the desk, Charlotte gestured for him to sit down.

Sebastian respectfully took his seat in front of the desk and was about to speak, but Charlotte spoke first.

"Have you found out the location of the Dreaming Salon?"

Sebastian was even more surprised.

However, he quickly nodded, taking out a badge from his pocket and placing it on the table respectfully.

"Great Mistress, I haven't found Jordan yet, but... I found the token of the Dreaming Salon!"

"I've found out the time and location of the next Dreaming Salon!"

Charlotte picked up the badge on the table and examined it.

It was a badge shaped like a clown mask, decorated with stars and moons.

"Not bad."

She nodded slightly.

Sebastian, however, sensed something different in Charlotte's expression. He felt a slight tremor in his heart and asked.

"Mistress... has something happened in the manor?"

Charlotte put down the badge and sighed.

"Six of the newcomers to the manor, as well as some of their sisters, disappeared last night."

Huh?

Sebastian's gaze sharpened.

"They?"

"Yes, them."

Charlotte nodded, saying coldly.

"Nine in total, all girls."

"They were taken away by the earliest 'Local Inquisition Troops'."
