Chapter 426: 16 Year Old Inglis and the Highland on Distance Sea (35)

“I-, I was told that my mother died...! But that was when I was extremely small, so I don’t actually have any memory of it...! Could it be, she was taken to Highland and transformed into a Hyrule Menace instead...?!”
“That... could happen...!”
If Charlotte had given birth to Liselotte and they were separated before Liselotte could remember, it would make sense for her to appear this age. She seemed to be around the same age as Eris and Ripple, or perhaps slightly older.
The clearly superior abilities compared to other Hyrule Menaces might be due to her high suitability for the transformation.
According to Dr. Vilkin's assessment, Liselotte also had an extremely high suitability. There seemed to be a common factor—lineage, blood relation. It felt like there was a connection.
Eris took an incredibly long time to undergo the Hyrule Menace transformation, but it was said that Liselotte could have taken less than half a day the longest.N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m
Could it be that Charlotte, after giving birth to Liselotte, underwent the transformation a few years later, and because of her exceptional abilities, she wasn't sent to midland but instead kept in the Highland as an Archlord?
It's hard to say definitively without hearing from her directly or from Liselotte’s father.
"What are you talking about, all of you...!?"
Charlotte, unlike Liselotte, did not show any such reaction. Instead, she frowned with apparent displeasure.
"Um...! What is your family name? Althea...! Is it not Charlotte Althea!?"
"Althea...? I don't know any such name...!"
"Then where are you from, and what is your family name? Even if you are a Hyrule Menace, you were originally human. You must have parents and a homeland! Do you not have any family...?"
"I don't know...! I am an Archlord...! I have nothing to do with you!"
"But look at us, look at our faces...! Don’t you think we look far too similar for it to be just a coincidence...!?"
Liselotte descended near Inglis, lowering the tip of her halberd to avoid pointing it at Charlotte, and slowly approached her.
"If you don't want to talk to me, then I will speak all on my own...! So please, listen to what I have to say...!"
"Indeed, you resemble me too much... It's hard to believe it's just a coincidence."
"Sealot..."
"Yes! Do you happen to know it?"
“There’s no way an Arclord wouldn’t know such a major city! Is that all you want to say...?!”
"No, I mean, my father's name is Albert. Albert Althea. Actually, he was the one who married into the household of Althea. The previous Duke of Althea was the father of my mother, and he succeeded the family after him.”
Liselotte said a little quickly.
"Oh, so that’s how it was?"
"We didn't know that, did we?"
If anything, that was news even for Inglis and co. Looking back, the impression of the former Prime Minister was more of a competent bureaucrat than a nobleman.
"What is the point of all this...!?"
"My mother is also from Sealot... her name was Charlotte. They told me that she had passed away in my childhood, before I could remember anything, but if she were alive then, she would be about as old as you.... Please tell me, do you remember the name of Albert?! Or Liselotte?!”
“I... I don’t know...! I don’t understand... for some reason, something—something is... ugh, uugh...!?”
Charlotte was holding her head and staggering a little. The halberd slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.
"Ah...! A-, Are you okay...?"
Just as Liselotte tried to reach out her hand—
Someone else cut in from the side, picked up the halberd, and threw it at Liselotte in front of her.
"...!?"
Liselotte, who had no intention of fighting, was caught completely off guard. Charlotte's golden halberd advanced towards her chest, as if drawn in.
The force of its movement was extraordinary.
It was clearly thrown at a high speed with superhuman strength.
