I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Lorelaia always remembered this encounter.

Even after many years, she still recalled it from time to time, sometimes with nostalgia, and sometimes with an angry sigh:

"I shouldn't have gone to him."

There is no doubt that the second encounter and the first official meeting were also full of surprises.

From the moment she met him, he kept bringing her surprises, disrupting her originally peaceful life.

It was in a dilapidated apartment. Two men were yelling at the TV without any image, which completely subverted Lorelaiya's imagination.

Even so, he still went his own way and never changed his attitude.

It doesn't matter, after all, I have been exposed once, and I am somewhat immune.

But what happened next broke through the rational defense she thought was unbreakable.

The mysterious killer whom she spoke highly of actually used a "kiss on the hand" on her.

I, Lorelaia, a girl who is not yet an adult, am treated as a married woman!

Are you insulting me? You must be insulting me!

Not only is he insulting me, but he is also insulting Bartholomew!

Are you holding a grudge about what happened before? You, you - bastard!

For the first time after entering the clock tower, she lost her composure.

That's right, it's another first time, and it's because of him.

Perhaps, he is her nemesis.

And she hasn't realized what impact this boy will have on her future life.

Although this meeting still started out unpleasantly, it got a good result.

That guy named Matou Shinji agreed to her employment and was used by her. Although he is still unruly, as long as you become my subordinate, I will have plenty of time to slowly "educate" you!

Let’s start with the team trial! Aren’t you conceited about your strength and refusing to listen to orders? I will give you the most difficult test to test your spirit.

Humph, even I may not be able to successfully pass this trial, as long as you fail, haha.

Unknowingly, Lorelaia's thinking circuit had a touch of emotion, and it became more intense because of Shinji's next behavior.

He succeeded and successfully completed the trial, which failed her plan and further improved her own evaluation.

In addition, he also gave her a great gift, a gift that he could not refuse at all, a gift that would directly transform him from one of the heirs to the next head of the family.

The impression was subverted again.

Before, I thought she was stingy, fussy, and not graceful enough, but now she was too generous, like a fool.

For a moment, she even wondered if he had any conspiracy. But after meeting those sincere eyes, she denied her suspicions.

He can be trusted.

It's so strange. There is obviously no basis for this idea, but I can't stop thinking about it.

Even before she was determined to be the head of the family and was about to receive the engraving transplant, she still thought so. She even rejected the family's proposal to send someone to take over her work, and put Shinji Matou in charge instead.

Just think of it as the second trial.

For him, and for myself, this is the only time to see if I have misjudged the person.

Her Majesty said to herself.

As it turns out, she was right and he was doing a great job.

Although I call it troublesome and my employment fee is very high, I am actually very considerate. Even the old antiques who stayed at home and didn't go out all year round spoke highly of it.

While Lorelaia was happy after receiving the news, she also began to feel that it would be nice to be sentimental once in a while.

Not only does it allow you to find such talents, it also gives you the motivation to strive.

He performed so well, so I couldn't lose. The so-called nobility must be based on strength in the end. If I lose to him, how can I make him surrender in the future?

Driven by this emotion, Loreleia became more motivated and synchronized with the source seal more and more smoothly.

However, just when she finally merged with the Seal of Origin and returned to the Clock Tower in an unparalleled appearance, planning to suppress all kinds of dissatisfaction, she received a piece of bad news - something happened to that boy, the only guy who aroused her sensibility?

Not long ago, he fell into the trap of Bartholomew's mortal enemy "White Wing Duke" during a crusade. In order to ensure that the Clone brigade retreated, he left behind a fragment of the rear and fought fiercely with the oldest dead disciple for a night before his whereabouts are unknown. Probably dead.

The moment she heard the news, Lorelaia's vision went dark, and she almost lost control of the tamed Origin Imprint.

At that time, a certain voice echoed in her head.

He...is missing.

Because of my own trust.

He was supposed to be his right-hand man...

He was supposed to have an extremely bright future...

He is the only thing he cannot control...

Why does this happen?

If she hadn't still held out hope, she might have exploded at that time - although the outbreak was not delayed for long.

Thanks to Shinji's integration, Lorelaia's own team did not disperse because of her departure, and soon she got some inside information hidden deep under the water.

For example, there are people who are secretly collaborating with the Death Apostles, for example, there are people who are secretly delaying the process of reinforcements.

The shaky rational defense line finally collapsed, and the queen, officially named Bartholomew, broke out for the second time.

On that day, there was no law in the Legal Affairs Department, and Lorelaia also lost the aristocratic style that she had always maintained.

Some are left with only violence, the purest violence!

If you don't listen to any explanation or so-called advice, I just don't like you and want to beat you!

If you don't accept it, fight back. If you can't beat me, just hold it in!

It’s useless for anyone to come! I am already Barthemero!

Even Lord El-Meloy, who was in full swing at the moment, could only watch from the sidelines. Only when she had vented enough did he dare to step forward cautiously to persuade her.

But soon, El-Meloy discovered that he was wrong.

Is it enough? Not enough at all!

But fortunately, after some venting, rationality finally came back, at least it won't come directly to the door. After all, the Legal Affairs Section is Barthemero's private territory and he can do whatever he wants, but the hostile factions are not so free.

Of course, the new queen, who was in a rage, did not make it easy for them either, looking for troubles and sabotaging everything.

That attitude of seeking revenge even if the table was overturned made the entire clock tower tremble for a period of time, and the name of The Queen became worthy of its name.

This was a goal she had once aimed for and fought for, but now she felt very empty.

She would always think of him when she was working or resting.

What happened to him? Alive or dead? Why is there no news at all?

Could it be that he was caught by Oto Rosache and turned into a vampire?

If so, how should I face him?

Her heart was in chaos.
