After listening to Annie's report, Charlotte is planning to stay in her office until midnight to make an official report about the things that happened last night. She also has to research on her own about the demonic creatures that they fought. Although it is mostly Commander General Castella's responsibility, Charlotte still wants to see if she can discover even the slightest clue about their weakness.She is about to ask Annie to bring her a plume and a bottle of ink when the butler of her mansion knocks on the door. After greeting her, Charlotte heard from the butler that someone is now visiting her and asking if he can have an audience with her. When she asked who it was, the butler said it was Count White.Charlotte somewhat expected that she will want to see her again. It is natural for the Count to be confused since she told him lies about her past when they first met after fourteen years. With a sigh, the female General ordered the butler to bring Count Byron into the receivi
Count Byron feels hopeless right now. He did not expect that his beloved daughter had experienced such things. It is already bad enough that Charlotte got separated from them when she was still a small child. But for her to experience such things at a very young age is heartbreaking for the Count.If only he doubled their security at that time, Charlotte would not get separated from them. His daughter did not deserve such things. Instead of hardship, she should have become a child pampered by her parents and spoiled with good things. By simply putting himself in Charlotte's shoes at that time, Count Byron feels like his heart is being ripped into two."Sorry. I'm sorry. Charlotte, forgive me. I'm really sorry..."Charlotte cannot say anything to her father. She can only pat his back as he cries so much in her arms. Right now, the female General is glad that she did not reveal everything to her father. He is already like this after hearing half of the truth about what really happened t
After their dinner, Charlotte told her father to sleep in the room they prepared for him inside the mansion. She will see him again tomorrow morning after visiting the Royal Palace tonight. Although his worries are useless, the Count still asked if she will do something dangerous. Charlotte appreciated her father's concern and simply told him that she just need to see Prince Marius and give her reports. After reassuring her father, she left the mansion in secret and goes straight to the Royal Palace. There is another reason why the female General asked her father to stay in their mansion tonight. Before they eat their dinner, Charlotte received a report from Sir Lance that a few suspicious people are monitoring the Count's movement since last night. They still haven't discovered who are those people but Charlotte can guess they probably came from the opposite faction. Maybe those people are thinking they can use Count Byron against Charlotte now that they know their connection.Charl
In the vast land of the Southern region of their empire, a huge flying eagle spreads its wing and made a circular motion in the skies. There was a silver tube tied on it that sparkles every time the sun hit its surface. After flying for another round above the skies, the eagle saw the mansion painted blue and it made a quick turn to go down. The eagle landed on a huge window where the owner of the mansion is waiting for his arrival. It is Duke Valencia, Emperor Halil's blood cousin.Approaching the eagle, the Duke untied the silver tube from the eagle's talon before giving it a glass of clean water to drink. The Duke sat on his chair again and opened the tube. There was a thick rolled paper inside of it. He opened the silver tube and read the words written inside the letter. After reading the letter, a small smile showed on his face. Then slowly, a sinister laugh escaped from his lips before he crumple the paper in his hand."This is impossible." The Duke said to himself. "Those two
Did Sir Gabriel send other documents for me to see?" "Yes, my lady. I already put it on your desk. The Vice General also wants me to convey a message to you." "What is it?" "Sir Gabriel said Duke Valencia sent another letter to his secretary." "That's already expected. So what did his trusted secretary put in his letter?" "He followed your instruction and put the details about your identity in it." "That's good. Then send his secretary the reward we promised to him the other day." "I understand, my lady." After Annie puts the other documents in her arms on Charlotte's desk, the maid leaves her office to do her other task. As for the female General, she leans on her chair and checks the reports about Duke Valencia that were sent to her mansion this morning. They already know that Duke Valencia is starting to build his own army to attack the Royal Palace and commit treason. They are also informed of his every movement and who are the people involved in his plans. And Charlotte w
They are all watching Lady Kretin making havoc in front of them. The lady keeps on saying that she will become the future Empress of this empire and no one can defy her anymore. Scratch that. Lady Kretin already assumed that she is now the Crown Princess who married Prince Marius and will become an Empress soon."Prince Marius will love me. And I will become the Crown Princess that he truly deserves. Sooner or later, I will become pregnant with his son. That child will become the successor of his richest. And you! You will be thrown out because my husband will no longer need your service! I will become his wife and we will have a son to become his successor!"Charlotte did not say anything. She stares at Lady Kretin for a moment before standing up and walking towards her. The lady does not seem like she noticed her movements. Lady Kretin just keeps on mumbling her plans repeatedly to herself."Lady Kretin." Charlotte called her."What-"A loud sound of a slap is suddenly heard inside
When Charlotte returns inside the office, she sees Prince Marius staring at the huge painting hanging on the wall. It is a simple painting of a small flower growing in a ruined forest. Charlotte bought it from a poor painter who is selling his works in the busy plaza."I did not notice you like this kind of painting." Prince Marius said without looking at Charlotte. "I will send my secretary to send you a few paintings in our treasury that you can display in your mansion.""There's no need for that. It will only become too much work for my employees." Charlotte replied."Don't be like that. Just treat it as a reward for the bravery you showed in our birthday banquet.""You are too stubborn. But forget it. Just drink the tea that I brought here. The chef is worried and says it will help you calm your nerves." "Oh."Prince Marius slowly picked up the cup and smelled the liquid in it. After cooling it for a while, he drinks the tea and the minty taste of it quickly spreads in his mouth.
