Chapter 124 123 Found Them
Chapter 124 -123- Found them
The Duke of Bold and the Count of Broglie left after exchanging a few words.
He left the manor and disappeared at the end of the dreamland.
Looking at the direction the Duke was leaving, Sebastian couldn't help but said:
"I didn't expect Duke Bold to be the man behind the Balrog disaster... It seems that, as rumored, he has never given up on finding a solution to fertility problems over the years."
"The devil's contract... He really dares to think about it! Although the Vampire Clan has always abided by the contract, the price of the contract is not something ordinary people can afford, especially the Blood Demon Archduke Abadon, who is both a demon and the Vampire Clan!"
Charlotte frowned slightly:
"Solve the fertility problem... But hasn't he been paving the way for Leno to inherit the territory ten years ago?"
Sebastian thought for a while and said:
"You should be prepared with both hands. Master, you don't know. Human nobles attach great importance to blood. In this regard, they are no weaker than the vampires."
"I think maybe this concept is also influenced by the vampires. After all, before the Millennium Holy War, the nobles of the Crescent Kingdom and the vampires were almost equal. Even if they change their ways, some concepts will always be passed down."
"Leno is an illegitimate son after all. Compared with an illegitimate son, the Duke would definitely prefer to have a legitimate son as his heir."
"However, people's thoughts will change. I remember that Lord Leno has only gradually emerged in Boulder in the past seven years. As his potential gradually emerged, the Duke's expectations for him became more and more..."
"The Duke of Bold's health is deteriorating. This is no secret in the principality. Even if he recovers his fertility and has a new heir, he will probably not be able to survive until the heir reaches adulthood."
"Now he... I'm afraid he has completely given up on the idea of having children."
"In recent years, Duke Bold has been severely cracking down on the Blood Demon Order, presumably in order to completely bury this part of his history and pave the way for Lenno."
Charlotte curled her lips slightly, her heart full of contempt for Duke Boulder.
Total burial?
This part of his history... came at the expense of thousands of innocent girls.
Ten years have passed, who remembers those innocent girls?
Charlotte thought again of the various scenes she had seen in the memories of those girls, and of the despair she felt belonging to them...
Faintly, the scene in the dungeon slowly overlapped with the scenes she saw in her memory.
And this overlap of memories gradually awakened certain memories sleeping deep in the body she traveled through...
In a daze, she seemed to recall some of her experiences on the night of the Demon Night ten years ago.
She seemed to think of that beautiful grove, and the few petite figures giggling and running in the grove...
In an instant, the door of memory suddenly opened——
oh!
correct!
That night, the original person was probably playing hide and seek with the Broglie sisters in the garden...
When the original body came to hide, the Broglie sisters were nowhere to be seen for a long time.
And when the original body poked his head out of the woods... what he saw was the burning sky and the awakening Balrog.
"Master, Miss Lottie shouldn't be here. Maybe she is still enjoying a birthday party somewhere."
"However, this is indeed the starting point of the Balrog disaster. As a sacrifice, Countess Broglie will definitely appear. Do we want to wait here?"
Sebastian looked around and asked respectfully.
"Where are you still enjoying your birthday party?"
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
"It's not impossible."
"Master, as far as I know, demons use dreams to lure mortals into corruption. There are usually two ways, one is nightmare-like intimidation, and the other is dream-like deception..."
"The starting point of this dream is a birthday dinner. There is a lot of drinking and drinking, and it is full of beauty. It is obviously the latter."
"If I'm not wrong, Miss Lottie must still be enjoying herself somewhere in the dream..."
"However, as the end of her fall, she will definitely be brought here by Valaroca, because the ceremony is the end of this dream."
"Master, I think we can wait here and wait for them to come."
Sebastian expressed his judgment.
However, after listening to his words, Charlotte fell into deep thought.
"Are you enjoying it somewhere..."
She talked to herself, her heart moving slightly.
Looking back from the depths of the dungeon, Charlotte shook her head:
"No, no need to wait. I can probably guess where Lottie is."
"Come on, let's go meet her."
After saying that, she no longer hesitated, turned around and left the dungeon.
Charlotte and Sebastian returned to the ground, and the faint laughter and music in the manor hall seemed to be more exciting.
Sebastian's heart moved and he said:
"Master, the banquet has reached its climax. As the protagonists, the Broglie sisters may already be at the banquet."
However, Charlotte shook her head:
"No, they won't be there. If this dream is the dream of Valaroca, the fire demon, to seduce Lottie, they won't show up at the dinner party."
"When we were in the mission hospital, Lottie and I had many exchanges. She is a quiet person, but actually she doesn't like liveliness."
"Her fondest memories...are not in the hall at dinner parties."
After saying that, Charlotte did not return to the hall, but turned around and walked deeper into the manor.
Sebastian was quite curious about the girl's actions.
But out of unconditional trust in the great Lady of the Night, he did not ask too much, but followed closely behind.
The brightly lit hall faded into the distance, and the noise also subsided.
Under the leadership of Charlotte, the two came to the back of Broglie Manor, in front of a beautiful and dreamy grove.
It was really a dreamy grove.
The watery moonlight slants down and projects into the woods. The light penetrates the rustling branches and leaves, leaving spots on the ground.
Countless flying photons danced in the woods like elemental elves.
Those are fireflies, countless fireflies.
They fly freely in the woods, shining with beautiful light, following the cool and comfortable night wind, like ribbons of light.
And in the night wind, laughter like silver bells could be faintly heard, coming from the woods.
Hearing the crisp laughter, Charlotte's heart moved slightly and the corners of her mouth raised slightly:
"Found them."
Taking a deep breath, she took a step forward and pushed aside the bushes that blocked her view.
I saw three beautiful girls playing happily on an open grassland in the woods.
Among them, the two older ones looked to be twelve or thirteen years old. They both had beautiful brown hair and cute white dresses.
As for the slightly younger one, she was only four or five years old, with delicate features like a doll with blond hair and blue eyes.
The three of them were probably playing hide-and-seek. One of the older girls was counting numbers towards a big tree, while the other two girls were tiptoeing towards the bushes.
As soon as they looked up, they saw Charlotte and Sebastian entering the bushes, and they were both stunned.
"Someone is coming! Let's run!"
The little girl giggled, then pulled the girl who was several years older than her and ran deeper into the woods.
Looking at the two figures disappearing into the woods, Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly.
And Sebastian was curious:
"Master...that was just in the past...you?"
"No, the past me can't see me."
Charlotte shook her head:
"That's...it."
The engagement is successfully concluded! There will be another update tonight!
The editor told me that the recommendation will be published on October 6th, and suggested that I should not rush to publish the update in the past few days. It will be more beneficial for subsequent recommendations to publish the update after I have accumulated the manuscript and published it, so I will do two updates in the past few days.
