Tome of Blood

Lottie slowly woke up from her sleep.

What caught the eye was the strange brown-black top of the bed, carved with exquisite patterns of thorns and roses, and black gauze curtains hung around it.

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, and the soft light slanted across the bed, making it very warm.

This is... where?

Looking at the gorgeous and unfamiliar bedroom, and the priceless silk pajamas on her body, which she only saw in the shop window of the clothing store, Lottie's eyes were a little dazed.

If she remembered correctly, she should have been caught by the blood demon high priest and locked in the dungeon.

Oh, by the way, I seem to have had a dream.

She dreamed that the high priest brought herself to an altar and told herself that the monster on the altar was her sister.

She dreamed that the high priest told her that she had always been his marionette.

She also dreamed of that night ten years ago, of her sister, of Charlotte, and of the revived Balrog Valaroka...

But what happened next, she can't remember very clearly.

Lottie's eyes were a little confused.

But with gradually waking up, the vague memory also became clear...

No!

That's not a dream!

Lottie's face changed slightly, and she sat up from the bed in an instant:

"Not good! Sister!"

Throwing off the quilt, she staggered over and got out of bed. The moment she stood up, she felt dizzy again and fell directly.

However, the moment she was about to fall to the ground, a slender arm helped her up steadily, and a gentle and mellow voice reminded her:

"Miss Lottie, you're mentally exhausted after all, if you get up too quickly, you'll pass out."

Lottie only felt that the voice was quite familiar.

When she raised her head, she was slightly taken aback:

"Sebas... sir?"

Sebastian smiled slightly, helped her to the bed, and said gently:

"Good morning, Miss Lottie, from the look on your face, you should be resting well."

"Where... is this place? Mr. Sebastian, where is my sister?"

Lottie asked hurriedly.

"This is Castel Manor. You fell into a coma last night. The master asked me to bring you back. As for your sister, don't worry, she has been saved."

Sebas laughed.

"She was saved? Where is she?"

Lottie grabbed Sebastian's clothes and asked.

"Now...you should be with the master. Don't worry, we will meet you later."

Sebastian thought for a while and said.

After hearing his words, Lottie breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, she was full of doubts.

"Master? Castle Manor... Could it be that you mean... Charlotte?"

Lottie couldn't help asking.

"Of course, my master is the beautiful and honorable Miss Charlotte."

Sebastian said proudly.

Lottie was silent.

She gave Sebas a complicated look, hesitated to speak, and finally nodded slightly:

"I see."

"Gululu..."

Stomach growls came from the abdomen.

Lottie froze for a moment, subconsciously covered her stomach, and looked a little embarrassed.

Sebastian smiled and said:

"Are you starving?"

"Breakfast is ready, please change your clothes and have dinner with the master."

Lottie hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

After changing into her priestly uniform, she followed Sebastian and left the bedroom.

Unlike the old-fashioned and serious Castel Manor in my impression, today's manor is very lively, and it doesn't look like a murder has ever happened.

The bright sunlight illuminated the gorgeous corridors brilliantly, forming a stark contrast with the dark dungeon last night, giving Lottie an illusion as if in another world.

Through the corridor window, Lottie could still see the young knights practicing sword fighting in the outdoor garden, and heard bursts of applause from time to time.

For a moment, she even wondered if she had a long, long dream.

In the corridor, people came and went, and the beautiful maids in uniforms were busy.

From time to time, a male servant passed by the two of them, carrying large and small boxes.

When they saw the two of them, they would salute respectfully.

Seemingly noticing Lottie's curious gaze, Sebastian explained with a smile:

"They are making space for the warehouse. Tomorrow is the day when the earldom's convoy of monthly supplies arrives in Boulder City. Not only do they need to make room for the warehouse, but the manor also needs to prepare guest rooms for the knights."

The convoy of the Earl of Castel?

Lottie's heart moved slightly.

She counted the days, Wei Wei suddenly realized that it is indeed tomorrow.

Besides, the escort convoy of the Earl of Castel is quite famous in Boulder City.

As the leading aristocrat in the principality, the precious supplies sent from the territory every month are guarded by extraordinary knights in armor. Every time the mighty knight team enters the city, it is a very attractive scenery.

Even Lottie herself had been there.

Thinking of this, Lottie couldn't help asking:

"Miss Charlotte... is going to the territory soon, right?"

"Yes, after the master receives the sacrament and accepts the succession blessing of the holy royal court, he will officially take office and leave Boulder."

Sebas laughed.

After hearing Sebastian's words, Lottie paused slightly, and couldn't help saying:

"Blessing from the Holy Royal Court? Are you... sure?"

"Hehe, of course, the Castel family are devout and holy believers, especially the great masters!"

Sebastian said cheerfully.

Lottie: ...

The vague memory of last night made her subconsciously feel that something was wrong, but when she wanted to speak, she didn't know how to say it.

While walking and chatting like this, Lottie was led by the other party to the restaurant of the manor.

"Miss Charlotte, Miss Lottie is here."

Sebastian bowed towards the restaurant, respectfully.

"come in."

In the restaurant, a childish and pleasant voice came over.

Lottie looked over, and soon saw the petite blond girl on the main seat of the restaurant.

Today she was wearing an elegant white dress, she looked very noble and beautiful, she was completely different from the one in her dream last night.

Seeing Lottie, the girl showed a pure and innocent smile, and waved lightly:

"Sister Lottie, come and eat!"

Lottie hesitated for a moment, entered the dining room, and sat down at the table.

The waiters will soon serve Lottie with all kinds of delicacies, which are delicious in color, fragrance and taste, making people's index fingers move.

"You all step back, just leave Sebastian alone."

Charlotte said to the waiters.

After receiving the order, the waiters retired respectfully, and there were only three Charlottes left in the restaurant.

As soon as the dining room door was closed, a pair of furry hands suddenly stretched out from behind, covering Lottie's eyes in a mischievous manner.

"Dang dong! Guess who I am?"

The crisp and pleasant voice came from behind, which made Lottie feel extremely familiar.

She trembled slightly, subconsciously clenched her hands:

"elder sister?!"

Lottie pulled away the hands covering her eyes almost instantly, and looked behind her happily, but was immediately taken aback for a moment.

Behind her stood a furry bear doll.

Lottie: ...?

Fuck, Carvin again! From five o'clock in the evening to now...

I feel like I have to do a detailed outline.

Today's third update is a bit of a hang-up. I'll check the status after I finish the second update. Even if I have to write the third update, I guess I won't be able to finish writing QAQ before two o'clock.

End the volume within 10 chapters and go to the territory.
