The only imperfection in the plan might be that the "subversive"'s blonde hair has been washed off and she's no longer wearing a maid outfit.

Luckily, I wasn't wearing pajamas when I saved it.

"Loading archive, No. 1."

It was as if silver fragments were peeling off from Charles' body. His figure twisted, and his original blonde hair and maid outfit disappeared, replaced by a windbreaker.

The female conductor of the orchestra seemed to sense something. She looked back during the interval of conducting. After finding nothing unusual, she turned her head again, closed her eyes, and felt if there were any flaws in the music.

At this time, the guests were already walking towards the lake under the leadership of Arthur, and they seemed unable to see the red-haired girl leaning against the wall.

Only Opold, who was chatting and laughing while passing by, suddenly shuddered. He made an excuse to leave, quietly took out the "evil eye" under the shade of a tree, dripped blood on it to confirm that there was no danger, and then returned to the lakeside.

It's almost time.

Ciel put away his pocket watch, walked around the corner, headed towards the entrance of the manor, and went straight to the banquet hall - while Lucy walked in front of Ciel, completely unaware of his arrival behind her.

After Lucy walked into the corridor, Charles leaned against the corner of the corridor, holding an exquisite silver pocket watch in his hand, and watched it jump up and down in his hand absent-mindedly.

After hearing the noise inside for a while, Charles turned around and walked straight into the corridor.

"I'm not happy to see you again,"

Ciel turned the [Overrun Gear] and watched with disinterest as the Keyman raised his left hand towards the prone Lucy. A hoarse, layered voice uttered, "Keyman..."

Silver light bloomed from the pocket watch. Charles calmly watched the key man in front of him twist, shrink, and rot, until the eyeball in the middle of the huge tumor-like brain was aimed at him.

hum-

The beam of light had just connected to Charles for a few seconds when it suddenly exploded. The terrifying head in front of him exploded, and brain matter and blood splattered.

Charles walked forward slowly, bent down, and pulled out the ring from the key man's left hand. Then he turned to look at Lucy, who was still trembling on the ground and didn't dare to look up.

"The curtain was sent to Avina as a thank you gift for being the middleman."

Ciel walked over Lucy, who was lying on the ground, and said without turning his head, "The rest is yours."

When they reached the door, Ciel stopped, turned around and stared at Lucy on the ground with his silver eyes, and smiled: "Why don't you look up and try to see if your two-fold coin heads is useful?"

"You... you're joking, sir..."

Lucy, who had not received the order to look up, lay on the ground and did not dare to move at all.

She had actually just secretly glanced in the direction of the key man - she saw the key man quickly decay, collapse and explode to death. In this situation, how could she dare to look up at the "subversive" sent by Miss Charles?

Unless you think your life is too long.

"Tsk...boring."

The key holder is dead, and her secret letter has been replaced with "stand still". There is nothing left to do.

Charles stuffed the pocket watch back into his pocket and walked towards the door. Silver fragments flew off his body and the pink stars in his pupils gradually faded.

It was not until about four or five minutes after Ciel left that Lucy finally managed to get up, her hands somewhat weak, and she looked in the direction where the "subversive" had left with some fear.

...Just as she guessed.

She's not really needed for the kill; she's just there to show up and finish things off...

How could there be such an oppressive "subversive" person? And from her tone, it seemed like she had known the key man for a long time.

The fear in her heart slowly dissipated, and she looked at the horrific corpse behind her. The fear in her heart was quickly suppressed by excitement.

I actually got in touch with such a powerful and mysterious organization...

Wouldn’t there be a lot of “extra money” like this to earn in the future?

Have I been recognized by this organization?

So this is the huge reward hidden under the huge crisis described by that card pattern...

Lucy quickly walked over to the body and began to clean it up excitedly.

Outside, the music at the lakeside banquet reached its climax, almost echoing the excitement in Lucy's heart. No one noticed what was happening here.

At this time, Charles had already walked out of the manor, walked along the road to the door of Avina's manor, pushed the door open and walked in.

After returning to Avina's room, Charles did not change his clothes, but just walked to the bed and lay on it.

Finally, I can take a good rest...

His tense spirit finally relaxed, and Charles slowly closed his eyes.

Chapter 175: Ansu's plan and Tara fainted from hunger.

"Old Ford, put those bottles of wine in the wine cellar."

At nine o'clock in the evening, Avina had returned to her manor. After instructing the old butler to put the wine away at the door, Avina took Nia to the third floor.

When they reached the third floor, Avina stopped, looked back at Nia, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for your hard work today."

"It's my duty, young lady."

Nia nodded slightly. When she was about to go downstairs with her hand on the escalator, she hesitated and looked at Avina and said, "Miss, Miss Charles...is everything going well?"

Nia was on edge the entire night because she was one of the people who knew about it. She kept an eye on the movements around her. While keeping an eye on Avina, she also deliberately looked for Charles's location.

But since the banquet began, Nia hadn't seen Ciel again, which made her even more alert, concentrating on sensing any movement...

But what surprised her was that, apart from Lucy and Ciel disappearing for a while, no accidents happened throughout the whole process, and there was not even a trace of battle fluctuations.

Not only Nia, but even Opold didn't notice anything unusual, and the banquet ended in a muddle by the lake.

She guessed that the matter was resolved in the manor, but she did not go to investigate because Nia had to stay by Avina's side to ensure her safety.

"I am not sure as well."

Avina shook her head and said, “I’ll go ask her. If there’s anything, I’ll come to you.”

"Ok."

Nia nodded and then went downstairs.

If things ended smoothly, it would be the best. But if the plan failed and the "subversive" escaped, Nia would have to consider persuading Avina to stay away from Charles to avoid being implicated.

After Nia left, Avina walked alone along the corridor to the room at the end. She gently opened the door, looked inside, and paused slightly.

In her eyes, Charles was lying on his bed with his face towards the mattress, and he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep without even taking off his shoes.

Even the sound of opening the door did not wake Charles up.

Avina tiptoed to the bedside and looked at Charles lying on the bed, feeling helpless for a moment.

To be honest, she had no experience in taking care of people and had no idea how to help her get into position without waking her up.

After thinking for a while, she could only half-kneel beside him and help Charles take off his shoes and socks on his hanging legs and put them on the ground.

She looked at the quilt that was pressed in the middle by Charles, went around to both sides, turned the quilt over a little, wrapped it around Charles, and then looked at Charles's slender, white calves and feet hanging outside.

It's easy to have nightmares with your legs hanging out like this...

Soon, Avina came up with a good idea.

She walked to the sofa, used all her strength to lift a single sofa, moved it slowly next to Charles, put it under her calves, and then found a blanket to cover her calves.

After doing all this, Avina, who was a little out of breath, put her right hand on her waist and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief with her left hand.

She looked at the messy bed in front of her, smiled and shook her head.

Seeing how relaxed Charles looked, she knew that he must have completed his plan perfectly.

……

"Um……"

It was almost six in the morning. When the first ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, Charles slowly opened his eyes.

She seemed to have had a nightmare. In the dream, she was wrapped up in a ball and had difficulty breathing. Then, Kitty, who was already dead, was grabbing her feet and licking them crazily...

What a horrible nightmare.

Charles slowly propped himself up and pushed away the quilt that was making her hot and sweaty. The silk blanket covering his calves slid down her smooth calves to the ground.

She sat on the edge of the bed, looking curiously at the sofa behind her and the blanket that had fallen to the ground.

Did Avina do that?

After picking up the blanket and placing it on the sofa, she looked back at the bed, searching for any trace of Avina.

There was no Avina on the bed. Charles put on his slippers and stood up. When he was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, he passed by the sofa and saw Avina sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Is this because you're afraid of waking yourself up?

A slight warmth rose in Charles' heart. She slowed down her pace and walked into the bathroom, washing her body with cold water. After washing, Charles changed into clothes and left the room.

When she closed the door gently, a small, metallic buzzing voice came from behind her.

"Good morning, Miss Ciel."

Lying...

Startled, Charles turned around and saw Nia standing between the two windows, just covered by the shadows.

"Scared me……"

Charles patted his chest. He was a little sleepy at first, but now he was frightened awake.

"Feel sorry."

Nia bowed her head, apologized, and asked in a low voice, "Is the plan going well, Miss Ciel?"

"smoothly,"

Ciel smiled and nodded, then said directly, "If nothing unexpected happens, nothing will happen next. It's all over."

"really?"

Nia was a little surprised when she heard Ciel's answer, but then she nodded, "That's good... Are you ready to go out?"

"Not in a hurry,"

Charles seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Nia in front of him and asked, "Are you free now? Nia, can I talk to you for a moment?"

"I?"

Nia was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have never talked to Ciel alone, so she was a little surprised that Miss Ciel made this request, but she nodded and said, "Okay."

Nia followed Charles to the study on the second floor. After closing the door, the two faced each other.

Nia didn't know what Charles wanted to ask, so she didn't say anything, just waiting for Charles to speak.

"I have a question about Avina, which may be quite private. If you can't answer it, forget it."

Ciel looked at Nia in front of him and spoke.

Nia looked at Charles with some doubt and said, "You can try asking the young lady directly."

As long as it was something Charles wanted to know, there was no way Avina would not tell him. This was what Nia thought in her mind.

"She's not awake yet,"

After a brief pause, Charles asked, "If I persuade Avina to go to school with me in Anzu City, will she agree?"

Charles had tried to ask this question in the simulation, but was fooled by the drunk Avina. Of course, it might also be because Charles did not behave seriously under the influence of the potion.

"Ansu..."

When Nia heard the word, she whispered the name.

The study was quiet for a few seconds, and then Nia said, "If Miss Charles has enough reasons to convince the young lady, she will agree."

"Oh?"

Ciel seemed a little surprised by Nia's answer. She asked curiously, "Isn't there a conflict between her and her family? Her family is also in Anzu City."

Charles has always been curious about this contradiction, but he never had the right opportunity to ask. Now that the crisis is over, Charles finally has the opportunity to understand these things.

Moreover, in the simulation, Charles had asked Avina to seek refuge in Anzu City several times, and Avina agreed every time.

The question now is not whether they can take Avina to Ansu, but what the conflict between Avina and her family is and whether it poses a threat to their future life in Ansu.

"This matter is quite complicated...it's not all about the conflict with the family."

Nia shook her head. She was silent for a moment, as if trying to organize her words. After a long while, she continued, "Do you know the Church of the God of Order?"
