Tome of Blood

"Wow! Is this the Castle Manor? Where we will work in the future?"

"It's so... so big, so beautiful! It's not as scary as the rumors say!"

"Trees! Lots of trees! And flowers! Wow! And fountains!"

"What a big house! This...is this a palace!"

"It feels...it feels like a dream."

In Castel Manor, the teenagers and girls who got off the carriage looked at everything around them curiously, their expressions were very excited.

Even the most anxious child has bright eyes at this moment.

They have lived in the outer city since they were young, but they have never seen such a scene.

Even the girl Shirley, looking at the colorful flowers and butterflies flying in the garden, had a slight gleam in her cold eyes.

"Of course, this is where everyone will work in the future."

"Not only that, but everyone's monthly allowance will be the same as the trainee priests in the church, twenty quintana a month."

"And if everyone does well in the future, or enters the rank, the salary will be further improved."

Looking at the excited teenagers and girls, Charlotte said with a smile.

After hearing her words, everyone was even more excited:

"Two... twenty Quintanas?!"

"My God! More than my father earns in a year!"

“Castell Manor is amazing!”

"Long live Lord Charlotte! Long live the Castel family!"

The boys and girls cheered.

Seeing them extremely excited, the corners of Charlotte's mouth slightly raised.

Unlike the old servants who were hired before, these boys and girls are all blank paper, and they are also the age that is the best to shape and the easiest to satisfy.

Facing them, Charlotte didn't need to bother to train the servants as before. At that time, it took a lot of effort just to make the servants not treat themselves as a little girl.

Adolescent children eat soft food rather than hard food.

Facing these newcomers whose physical age is not much different from hers, as long as you treat them well, as long as you let them feel that you are one of your own, coupled with your natural noble status and master status, you can completely win the favor of most people. recognition and loyalty.

In other words, facing these newcomers, the charm effect of the prestige technique may be much better than the intimidation effect.

The most obvious evidence is that from the moment they saw her for the first time, the young apprentice knights and apprentice mage apprentices in the team were already blushing and dodging their eyes, but each of them worked hard, as if they couldn't wait to become her. Girls loyal followers too.

Especially when Charlotte looks at them inadvertently.

She smiled slightly, her long blond hair was shining brightly in the sun, and her blue and pure eyes were like the clear sky, seeming to carry a profound magical power, almost hooking the souls of the young people.

The sense of innocence and goddess like the first love on campus has been perfectly replicated by Charlotte.

The chivalry and desire for protection buried in the boy's heart were aroused almost instantly, and they wished they could kneel down on one knee to the girl immediately and offer their loyalty.

Although... In fact, they may not be able to beat Charlotte alone.

There is also a difference between transcendents who have not advanced.

Although most of these extraordinary children have awakened extraordinary power, they are not as powerful as Charlotte, who is a blood race.

However, they are Castel's future hope.

With a little training, and with Castells' deep pockets at the fore, Charlotte could bring them to the fore within a few years.

They are Charlotte's future personal guard knights and court mages.

Besides them, there were only maids, including Shirley who claimed to be a magic apprentice and apprentice knight, there were twenty-three of them in total.

Almost all of them have received professional training, and it is also a professional training suitable for the Castel family etiquette.

Although the effect of charm was not good for them, whenever the girl smiled at the girls, they would also lower their heads with a blushing face.

Except Shirley.

This maid with the strongest comprehensive ability, who went up to the hall and went down to the kitchen, is even more skilled than the manor chef, and even has the strongest awakened extraordinary power, has always been cold to Charlotte.

Charlotte knew that the girl was very wary of her, so she didn't want to stay here, and even wished that Charlotte would return her immediately.

But she doesn't know why.

However, even so, Shirley still listened to her parents and came to the manor silently, which also showed that she was an honest and good boy.

Among these boys and girls, she is the most talented and capable, and Charlotte also has some expectations.

The future is long, and she is looking forward to the day when she will open the heart of the other party.

...

The participation of more than fifty teenagers and girls made the originally deserted Castel Manor lively.

Charlotte didn't stay outside for long, though.

The sun came out, and the longer she stayed the worse it got.

Back in the study, the panting Nice finally rushed back.

It collapsed on the ground like a dead cat, and looked at the girl full of resentment:

"Su...Miss Charlotte...Master Cat...No, why did Nice offend you again?"

Charlotte glanced at it lightly, and did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically:

"How many people know about the Rose of Thorns?"

Nice's eyes widened suddenly.

It instantly understood why it was punished, and felt guilty for a while:

"Uh...that...Lord Charlotte, this was all a misunderstanding, I hadn't become your servant at that time..."

"Meow... You know, even cats have to spend money to buy dried fish... The church won't give us subsidies, so of course we have to figure it out..."

Charlotte glanced at it coldly, and repeated:

"How many people know about the Rose of Thorns?"

Nice shrank his neck.

It thought for a while and said:

"Uh... it shouldn't be much."

"I did resell the information...but only to the Rose Society..."

"Wait! That fellow Sebastian told you, right?! This bastard who has no spirit of contract!"

As if realizing something, Niston was furious.

But seeing Charlotte's cold gaze, it shivered again, retracted its gaze, tucked its tail and continued:

"Uh... besides the Rose Society, I probably only have Raoul, Kara, the Duke, and the High Priest."

"No, wait... There should be one more person who knows, the second son of the Gaston family, what seems to be his name... Uh, Jordan?"

"The child who is a vassal must serve in the lord's house for a period of time, and he is the personal guard knight of the duke's house."

"Carla mentioned that after reporting the matter to the Duke, she happened to meet him when she was going out, and he dodged his eyes at the time, so he probably heard it outside the door."

Jordan? That flower peacock who was scared the crap out of Sebastian?

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she looked towards Sebastian.

"A cowardly trash, but...he has made a bunch of cronies. Maybe you can investigate him carefully. It is very likely that the secret of your holy emblem was leaked from him."

Sebas said.

Charlotte nodded slightly:

"You can do this matter, and besides... prepare me some extraordinary blood, just like last time."

"Follow your orders."

Sebastian saluted respectfully, eager to try.

After finishing the order, Charlotte looked at the nervous black cat Niss again, and said coldly:

"I don't care how you were in the church before."

"But now that you have become my servant, you must know what to do and what not to do."

"If I find out that you have done something sorry to me..."

"Whether I want my life or the two little things behind the cat's butt, I can only choose one of the two."

Hearing the girl's angry words, Nis felt his crotch go cold, and couldn't help shivering.

"Okay, let's go."

Charlotte issued an eviction order.

As if being pardoned, Nice quickly slipped out with his tail between his legs.

Sebastian also smiled, bowed gracefully and left.

And when he walked out of the study, he did not forget to smile at the black cat:

"Hehe, Lord Nice."

"You have to be careful, don't be a cat father-in-law like a prisoner of the East Unet Empire."

After speaking, he laughed and left.

Looking at the back of the flame elf going away, Nisi was angry and angry:

"Bah! This shameless dog leg! The bastard who took advantage of the cat's danger!"

But after scolding, a sense of urgency rose in its heart:

"no……"

"I have to restore my image in front of Lord Evil God!"

"You can't let this black-bellied elf ride on Master Cat's head!"

After talking to himself, Nice also left in a hurry.

...

For the next few days, Charlotte's life was much quieter.

As her speech of faith in the church continued to ferment, the rumors about the Castle family in Boulder City also proved themselves.

Without the trouble of the nobles continuing to look for the girl, the Gorefiend Cult seemed to have given up their plan after the assassination failed, and everything seemed to be back on track.

After some knocking, the black cat Niss sent a big gift the next day, a thick magic book organized by it, which recorded all kinds of magic it had learned.

Charlotte probably rolled over, and her eyelids jumped wildly.

Good guy, from the easiest apprentice magic to the high-level magic that can only be learned at the third level of Chi Yang, there are a total of two to three hundred, all types, and even a few legendary magic and forbidden magic!

Outrageous, a cat that doesn't even have a rank, but still masters forbidden magic? !

The setting sun and fire, the extremely cold ice world, the god-killing sky thorn, the eye of blasphemy...

What are these bad-sounding names?

And is there something weird mixed in?

What is this guy... exactly?

Charlotte was getting more and more curious.

"Do you know forbidden magic?"

she asked calmly.

"Um... not right now. Right now, I can only use low-level magic at most... It's not bad to be able to use a few divine spells."

Nice said politely.

Charlotte: ...

Charlotte wanted to ask where it learned legendary magic and forbidden magic, but the black cat started talking about him again, obviously not wanting to talk about it.

The girl didn't ask any more questions, but felt that this guy was indeed like what Sebas said, that his whole body was full of secrets.

With the magic book provided by Nice, Charlotte was also excited, and wanted to try to learn a few spells to improve her strength.

But unfortunately, she gave up after trying for two days.

Because she discovered that she has no magic circuit.

In the world of Myria, if you want to learn magic, you must have a magic circuit, which is similar to the heart of the knight's source of power.

But it's a pity.

The body of the vampire gave Charlotte extraordinary power, but at the same time, it also replaced her original magic circuit.

Until she finds a solution, it's impossible for her to learn magic other than the blood talent.

Over the next few days, Charlotte continued to return to her usual routine.

In the morning, the priests of the church are invited to take her to worship and praise the great holy light. In the afternoon, they accompany the newcomers to train together and get closer.

The only difference is that every day she drinks some Wyvern's blood essence to increase her strength.

Before he knew it, another few days passed, and the charging of the summoning of blood was about to be completed again, and the prestige technique was getting closer and closer to completion, but the effect of drinking the extraordinary blood was getting worse and worse.

However, Charlotte's strength has improved significantly.

Although she didn't try it, she felt that with the nourishment of essence and blood, the current self should be very close to the first level in terms of physical fitness.

After several days of companionship and closeness, the boys and girls have become more and more fond of Charlotte, and several apprentice knights have even tended to change into the shape of girls, gradually turning into dogs.

It can only be said that adolescent boys and girls are really good-looking creatures.

The children couldn't hold back when they met Charlotte, a "master" who was charming in appearance and gentle and considerate to them, and easily surrendered.

Except Shirley.

This maid is still like an iceberg.

No matter how Charlotte contacts, the other party always looks cold.

Only when he was making pranks like telling black fairy tales before, the other party's unchanging face would occasionally change.

"Have you played enough? Please don't disturb my work."

Putting down a dark fairy tale that was inadvertently "forgotten" by the owner in the study room that needed to be cleaned again, Shirley, who had recovered from petrification, looked at the girl reading a book, and said coldly.

Charlotte gracefully raised the goblet, took a sip of the milk, and smiled innocently:

"This milk is really delicious."

Shirley: ...

Charlotte can see that Shirley's heart is not easy to conquer, but she is also a serious person who values ​​promises.

She listened to her parents and became a maid, she was really serious about being a maid, and of course... she was just being a maid.

She won't leave voluntarily, but she won't give her true allegiance either.

Then Charlotte will let herself go.

Set a small goal first, and then take off the other party's cold coat!

This child... her culinary skills are particularly appetizing to her, and the sweet milk, coffee and black tea she makes are also very delicious, so she accepts it.

Good leisure time always flies by.

Unknowingly, during the days of plucking the Holy Light's wool, bullying Shirley, and training newcomers... the time has come to the weekend.

A week passed, and it was time for the boys and girls to visit their relatives. On Saturday night, they all went home in the disguised carriage of the Rose Society.

More than fifty people left, and the bustling manor returned to deserted.

Sunday's weather is a bit gloomy.

It was cloudy, and it was going to rain.

After finishing worship in the morning and completing the final charging of the call of blood, Charlotte sat quietly in the study alone, reading a book.

Sebastian hadn't returned, and she felt a little uneasy, wondering if something happened to her, and if she needed to use the call of blood to contact him.

But after some hesitation, she decided to wait another day.

Charlotte's understanding of Sebastian is still very limited, and she doesn't know whether it is the normal state of the other party to play missing, or something really happened.

However, until the evening, not to mention Sebastian, not even the boys and girls... No one came back.

Charlotte finally sensed that something was wrong.

At this moment, there was a loud thunder outside the window, dazzling lightning pierced through the dark clouds, and the strong wind began to blow.

Accompanied by the violent knock on the door, Quasimodo's panicked voice came:

"Master! Master! Something is wrong!"

"The Tribunal launched a divine judgment on the Rose Society, and judged the Rose Society to be an evil group that needs to be purified!"

"The Judgment Knight...is dispatched!"
