47 – The Maid’s Secret Inside (3)

When Charlotte said she didn’t know, I had mixed emotions. She

She was both glad that Charlotte found out that she didn’t deliberately hide anything from me, and she was also subtle because she knew that she wouldn’t get any information.

But I’m a pretty emotional assassin, so rather than a subtle feeling, I feel pretty happy.

“Really? Don’t you know who the last king of Delin is? You don’t even know why that person is targeting you? Don’t you know the story of a legacy that is essential for the reconstruction of Delin Kingdom?”

“…… Yes, I have no idea. I’m sorry, Bocchan.”

Charlotte was consistent in her attitude that she had no idea.

When I turned her gaze to Justina, she had a slightly troubled face.

But for now, she nodded her head and expressed her affirmation to my question.

“Okay, the magic is still working.”

“You call me Bocchan? Aren’t you awake?”

“How do you view her original daughter? It’s magic that makes you speak only the truth, and you just forget it after you’ve said it, but it doesn’t even rob her of her personality.”

“Well then… ….”

So Charlotte didn’t know anything after all.

Therefore, no information about the last king of Delin can be obtained.

But this is not the end of the question.

The fact that Charlotte is being hunted by the last king of D’Elyn remains an undeniable truth, and we had to find out why.

So, from now on, I tried to ask in detail about the discomfort she usually felt in Charlotte.

“Charlotte, as usual, don’t you think her resilience is too good?”

“Resilience?”

“You must have been hit by a witch’s icicle yesterday, but you’re still fine, and even when Humpton called you to slam her body against the wall, you recovered quickly.”

“That… I’ve always thought it was weird too. Sometimes, if I got hurt, I would recover too quickly.”

“Why did you hide it?”

When I questioned her in detail, Charlotte shrank her body.

“I didn’t mean to hide it, but I’m sorry. But it’s different from normal people… I was scared.”

Is it simply a story of constitution?

Come to think of it, Charlotte was an orphan.

Maybe one of her parents had a race with a very quick resilience like a troll. What if it’s just inherited?

“mmm…”

“Don’t worry too much about your constitution. Because there is a way for the original woman to find out separately. After I finish the question and answer, I will go to bed and take a look at it myself.”

“Yeah, that would be nice. Then next.”

She decided to ask about the ordeal of fear, which is the biggest reason Charlotte thought she might be hiding something.

She was really reluctant to ask her about her weakness, but it felt a bit awkward to leave it out.

“So, why did she keep the things she saw in The Trial of Fear a secret?”

“That… I saw something very strange.”

“Something strange?”

Charlotte fidgeted with her hair and she carefully opened her mouth.

“It’s called the Trial of Fear, and honestly… I imagined being abandoned by the Rehinar family or getting scolded by the young master.”

“…… Are you scolding me?”

“Tsk, Deneb. How many times would she normally hold her child like that?”

“Oh no! I’ve never scolded Charlotte?! She has no one in her family that she is as close to as I am, so why?!”

Charlotte was also startled and waved her hand.

“I don’t mean that! Bocchan is a person who never scolds me, so being scolded by such a person is the scariest thing… That’s what it meant.”

“Hmph, I’m not really curious. So, what did you see? Are you saying that a demon more terrifying than Deneb emerged from the Ordeal of Fear?”

“Should I say devil? To be honest, I had no idea what it was.”

Charlotte put on a serious expression at Justina’s question, which was addressed in her insipid tone.

“What… I was lying on an operating table or something. Light flashed before her eyes, and the operation was performed without anesthesia, even though she was sober.”

“Surgery? What kind of surgery is this all of a sudden?”

“I don’t know that either. I’ve never had any surgery in my life. So she had no fear of surgery. After all, there is no room for fear of not knowing at all. How can a person who has never encountered a spider in his life be afraid of a spider?”

I nodded at Charlotte’s words.

What was the reason that I ran into a scene where I couldn’t chase after Justina, Elfin, and Lee Win in the Ordeal of Fear?

Because I know the pain I felt when I was separated from those children.

I knew the agony of not being able to see you again for the past 17 years, so fear arose from that knowledge.

But she’d never had surgery, and she’d only heard about it, so it was definitely strange that Charlotte would name her scariest existence as surgery.

“So, is that the end?”

“It hurt so, so much, I couldn’t say anything. My body gradually changes as the sword and magic develop, but it’s so disgusting…….”

“My body changes… ….”

Maybe this is related to the constitution.

Looking at Justina with that thought in mind, she too was pursing her lips and thinking hard about something.

When our eyes met, he said something with a confident expression.

“Ugh, hmm… I think it might be a memory.”

“Memories? But she said Charlotte, she’s never had surgery, she said?”

Justina pointed out just that, sticking out her finger.

“This is a magic that makes her tell Charlotte everything she knows, not a magic that makes her tell the truth that Charlotte doesn’t know.”

“So, does that mean that she had her surgery experience that Charlotte doesn’t remember, and that memory of hers remained unconscious and left her with the most fear?”

Justina nodded her head at my guess.

“The same is true of her original daughter.”

“Then shouldn’t she just read Charlotte’s subconscious? If you’ve read her subconscious and summoned her memories from her ordeal of fear, then you’re good enough…….”

“That would be dangerous.”

Justina cut off my proposal to her.

“The human unconscious is an extremely high-level and complex realm, and even her original daughter will be ruined if she wanders around.”

“You, Justina, will be ruined?”

“No, that kid named Charlotte will be ruined.”

Anyway, the situation was difficult.

I feel like I’ll reach somewhere if I take one more step, but I feel like I’m vaguely hovering a little farther away.

As if to calm me down, Justina came over and patted me on the back.

“For now, ask the last question. Memories of surgery hidden in the unconscious, such as unusual constitutions. After listening to the answers to the last question, let’s put it all together.”

Listening to Justina’s words, my strength rose again.

Come to think of it, I was already satisfied with the fact that Charlotte had never cheated on me.

In addition, the best result if she can find out why Charlotte is being hunted by the monster that claims to be the last king of De Elin.

Even if he couldn’t figure it out, just getting clues was meaningful.

“Then… Last question. Charlotte, how do you know so much about magic engineering?”

To be honest, I didn’t think it was very strange during the fight.

There are three major magic engineering devices that were attached to Katarina’s body. A brainwashing leash, a life support machine, and a cape.

Of course, the first two were things I knew from a long time ago.

‘But I’ve never heard of a cloak that creates a hidden barrier.’

I found out about it thanks to talking with Elfin separately in the hospital room, but I wasn’t the only one who didn’t know about the magic engineering cloak.

Even Elfin, who belongs to the imperial family and even holds the position of captain of the dark department, directly testified that he had never heard of a ‘Magic Engineering Cloak’ that could create hidden barriers at will.

Of course, Justina, who lacks knowledge about magic engineering, didn’t know at all.

– “Brother… ! That cloak is a magical product! I’m using magic to form a barrier around here so that no matter how close you come, you won’t notice that we’re fighting!”

But come to think of it, Charlotte knew all too well about that cloak.

She thought that since she had read a lot of books, she had to know, but when she said she didn’t even know about Elfin, she changed her mind a bit.

Elfin’s ignorance means the same as the imperial family’s ignorance.

She wondered how Charlotte knew about a magic engineering device that even the imperial family had no information about.

To my question, Charlotte gave an answer that is not much different from her previous two answers.

“Magical Device… Well, I don’t know that either. When I try to think of something, my head suddenly hurts… The only thing that is certain is that the information popped into my head as soon as I saw it.”

“Information popped up spontaneously? Is this also unconscious?”

“Perhaps.”

The Q&A with Charlotte is over.

If we had to dig further, there would be more questions to ask, but in fact, Justina and I were able to predict the whole story with just this.

The feeling that the evidence has already been perfectly prepared, and that Justina can examine Charlotte’s body and obtain her physical evidence.

As expected, Justina took a step forward and grabbed my shoulder.

“I have a rough idea, Deneb. Stay back.”

“Are you going to investigate?”

“Okay, Charlotte, you can rest for a while.”

“Yes? What to investigate… Cool… Coul….”

Justina snapped her finger and her Charlotte’s eyes closed.

My eyelids, which had been light, became very heavy in an instant.

Charlotte fell on his back and fell asleep.

Justina approached Charlotte and she began to examine her carefully.

“Kuhmm… ….”

Justina didn’t seem to think much of it, but I was a little embarrassed by her appearance, so I turned my back and began to organize her thoughts in order to respect her privacy.

A person with a unique constitution that recovers very quickly.

And she was unconsciously afraid of surgery to reshape her body using both magic and swords.

Also, I have no idea where I got the information from, but I don’t know why, but I know a lot about magical devices.

After dismissing Charlotte’s statement that she had never had surgery as a mere delusion, she could roughly guess what had happened.

‘This must have something to do with magic engineering. It is highly likely that the peculiar constitution was the result of that operation.’

The last king of Delin, who seeks the legacy of Delin.

The legacy and the kingdom have something to do with magic engineering.

I haven’t yet been able to figure out what it’s about in detail, but at least I can guess.

“…… Ok.”

“What’s up?”

At the same time, Justina, who was groping around Charlotte’s body innocently and without any other intention, let out a moan.

After dressing Charlotte again, she looked at me.

“You’re in trouble, Dane.”

“Why is that?”

Justina creates anxiety.

Sweat was forming on the back of her nose.

Justina let out a light sigh and sat down on her bed.

“As you might have guessed, it has something to do with magic engineering.”

“As expected! But why are you in trouble?”

“Because it is impossible to find out in detail with her original technology.”

“Is it impossible?”

Justina nodded her head.

“Yes, should I say security? It seems to have been set up as a secret device to prevent close scrutiny of the body. If you forcefully destroy it, Charlotte, this child’s life will be in danger. If she was well versed in her magic engineering, how would she have penetrated it…….”

“She said she didn’t know much about engineering.”

“Heh, it’s embarrassing, but I can’t deny it.”

Certainly, Justina was almost a stranger to magic engineering.

Magic engineering is still a fairly new generation technology.

Justina, who has lived in the culture of dragons for a long time, has not studied in detail about her new science, magic engineering.

It was the same logic as the elderly not being able to use new products well.

“Then you can’t figure it out after all? What surgery did she have, and why is Charlotte the last of de Elin’s legacy?”

“It’s not like that again, so don’t worry. Her personal connections are quite extensive. She has her own authority in the field of magic engineering, and she should be able to bring someone she can trust without difficulty.”

“…… If so, that’s good.”

Is there an expert to use for such a situation?

In its own way, if the academy’s president and widely known pro-popular dragon called, there would be people everywhere who would come running right away.

If an expert in the field of magic engineering could find out what type of modification Charlotte had undergone, then all the mysteries would be solved.

‘Charlotte, what kind of past did you have?’

Charlotte, who had no intention of answering the questions he had been asked internally and was just sleeping quietly without knowing the world, seemed a little mean today.
