Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

"Nice to meet you, Duke Charles."

"I'm a friend of your daughter, Ciel."

Is this... the red-haired girl that Seraphim mentioned?

Red hair, wearing the clothing of the Deton Group, a strange sense of oppression... It must be her.

Charles looked down at the girl in front of him, nodded slightly, and said expressionlessly: "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"I want to talk to you."

Charles looked into the other's gray-purple pupils and said without changing his expression.

"please."

Charles didn't say any nonsense. After saying just one word, he continued walking into the mansion.

Charles also quickened his pace and caught up with the other party.

Charles followed Charles directly into the reception room, while Tara was stopped by the guard at the door of the reception room. After Charles entered the reception room, the steel door behind him was slowly pulled shut with a heavy lock sound.

This place was locked, and the voice of Tara calling her outside was completely blocked.

Charles leaned against the reception table, picked up a cup of cold black tea and drank it in one gulp. Then he looked at Charles and said, "Are you Avina's friend?"

"To be precise... it's my lover."

After hesitating for a moment, Ciel corrected the word "friend".

Is this more or less... the first time I've officially met my father-in-law?

Charles wanted to improve the relationship a little to avoid the situation from developing to the point where he would have to kill his father-in-law.

Charles, who had been preparing his words expressionlessly, had his pupils shrink slightly after hearing the word from Charles' mouth. His mouth opened and closed several times, and he couldn't utter a word.

After a long while, he slowly let out a breath and said, "Are you... serious?"

"Ah."

Ciel nodded slightly, "But I didn't come here for this matter."

"Wait a mininute."

Charles turned his head, his back to Charles, and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand. After a long while, he turned around again, took a deep breath, and looked at Charles again.

"whats the matter."

Charles asked again.

But he didn't look like he accepted what Ciel had just said, instead he looked like he was trying to avoid it.

"Are you at the Queen's private banquet today?"

Ciel looked at Charles and asked, "Did you see the strong sound?"

When Charles heard the name Qiang Yin, all the random thoughts in his mind were completely thrown away, and his expression became serious again.

"Ah."

Charles nodded and waited for Ciel to continue.

"Has there been any abnormality with him? Hands, face, or somewhere else?"

Ciel continued to ask.

"……Yes."

Charles continued to nod, feeling slightly surprised.

This happened just now, and after that strange change occurred, Qiang Yin immediately left the table and launched a series of confusing martial law measures.

The girl in front of him seemed to know as much as he did.

"I want to ask you for an exact time."

Charles looked at Charles in front of him and asked, "On July 17th, at 12:15:05, where exactly was Qiang Yin at the luncheon, and who else was there?"

This time, Charles did not answer Charles directly.

"This is a royal matter,"

Charles looked at Charles in front of him and asked, "What is the reason I told you?"

"I can kill him."

Charles looked at Charles in front of him and spoke slowly.

"Is this reason enough?"

Charles' hand paused slightly, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to re-examine the girl in front of him.

Kill the strong tone?

you?

"Convince me..."

Charles looked at Charles and spoke.

PS:

256

Chapter 256: Final plan formulation.

I can kill him.

Charles knew these words individually, but when they were put together, he felt an incomprehensible confusion.

Kill, strong tone?

you?

Charles looked at the red-haired girl in front of him. Even though her eyes could bring him an oppression of unknown origin, that oppressive feeling could not make Charles trust her.

"I think you've got the wrong person."

Charles' face was icy, and he shouted, "If you could learn more about the relationship between the Queen's Sword and the Russell family, you would regret saying these words in front of me."

rub--

A two-handed sword was quickly forged in Charles's hands. He raised his hand and pointed the tip of the sword at Charles.

"For...Avina's sake, I can let you leave a last word."

Charles looked coldly at Charles in front of him. Almost everyone who saw his angry expression at this moment would think that after Charles said the last sentence, he would definitely put his words into practice and stab the girl in front of him with a sword.

Looking at the sword tip in front of him with white steam coming out, the heat from the sword that had not yet faded hit his face, and Charles slowly shook his head.

"I had a dream, Duke Charles."

Charles's gaze slowly moved upwards along the tip of the sword and looked at Charles.

"In my dream, when you were dying, you told me the same thing. Your relationship with your family, the Queen's Sword, and the reason why you had no choice..."

"Finally, you know what you said."

Charles looked Charles in the eye and said, "You said, 'If you were in my position, you would make the same choice I did.'"

"Enough of that dream talk."

Charles's expression didn't change at all. He moved the tip of the sword forward a little, and the sharp blade pressed against Charles' neck, leaving a slight wound.

A trickle of blood oozed from the wound. If the tip of the sword had moved a little further, it would have been enough to cut Charles's carotid artery, causing her to bleed to death.

He seemed to be completely unaffected by Charles' words, but Charles knew that he was definitely a little shaken in his heart.

Because the murderous intent disappeared from Charles' eyes.

This was what Charles noticed through his [Sharpness], and the [Premonition] in his mind had not shown any movement of Charles continuing to pass the sword - this was the reason why Charles had the courage to remain motionless.

Through Charles' death in the previous simulation, Charles knew that his daughter Avina still held a great weight in Charles' heart.

"You may not be able to kill me if you stab me. The price you pay is that Avina will hate you for the rest of her life."

Ciel smiled faintly and said, "Why don't you listen carefully to my detailed plan?"

"Are you threatening me?"

The expression on Charles' face remained unchanged.

"I just want you to know that there is no conflict of interest between us,"

Ciel continued, "But we all have conflicts with the Strong Voice."

"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn't that right?"

The last step was in place, and finally, after a few seconds, Charles slowly put away his sword.

He took a bottle of potion from his waist and threw it in front of Charles. After Charles caught the potion, Charles continued, "You win, let's talk."

Ciel opened the bottle of medicine and applied the reagent inside to the wound on her neck. Feeling the slight stinging sensation in the wound, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Charles really wants to kill him, Charles will not only have to use the save transformation, but may also have to use the Echo of Time and the Super Limit [Nemesis] to have a chance of escaping.

This would not only create quite a commotion, but would also consume a lot of Ciel's destiny points... Fortunately, the [Art of Conversation] worked, saving Ciel from facing a direct battle at level 4.

Charles sat on the sofa, waiting for Charles, and after Charles' wound was almost healed, he sat opposite Charles.

After Charles sat down, Charles looked at him and slowly said, "Although I admire your courage, you must know in advance that I am only having this conversation for Avina's sake... Don't think that your threats just now will have any effect."

"I want to kill you, and there are ten thousand ways to do it without Avina noticing."

"Ah."

Ciel nodded slightly without objecting.

Charles's personality has many similarities with Avina's, especially his stubbornness and unwillingness to lose face. He and Avina are almost carved from the same mold.

It's just that a beautiful girl like Avina's stubbornness is very cute and enjoyable to tease, but a middle-aged man like Charles's stubbornness can only make Charles try his best to hold back his laughter.

"I don't need you to take any action, or do anything."

Charles shook his head and said, "I just need to know what happened at the royal luncheon an hour and a half ago, that's all."

"that's it?"

Charles frowned slightly, seeming a little unconvinced by what Charles said.

The opponent is Qiang Yin. Charles came to him and used Avina as a shield... In Charles' heart, he almost believed that the other party wanted to drag him into the fight against Qiang Yin.

He had sufficient reasons to deal with Qiang Yin, and many of Qiang Yin's enemies had come to him for cooperation before, but they were all rejected by Charles.

He knew that those people would fail - they simply did not understand the horror of the strong sound.

The reason why I agreed to talk to Charles was indeed because of Avina, and also because of what Charles said, "Avina's lover."

Charles wanted to understand the conflict between this girl and Qiang Yin, and see if he could persuade the red-haired girl in front of him to give up, so as to prevent Avina from becoming a widow at the age of a teenager...

Although Charles found the two girls calling each other "lover" extremely abstract, it was not completely incomprehensible. Maybe his daughter just wanted to play around, or simply wanted to piss him off.

But what he never expected was that the other party really had no intention of letting Charles take action, but was only asking Charles for information about the royal luncheon...

This actually made Charles think that the girl in front of him seemed to really have the confidence to kill Qiang Yin...

But there were still some details that confused Charles, so he had to ask for clarification.

If the girl was really sure of killing Qiang Yin, it meant that she at least had the support of a powerful organization, or was working for a powerful individual - Charles would not think that an ordinary person would have the courage to kill Qiang Yin.

But if that was the case, the girl had to come to him to inquire about a royal luncheon that was not kept secret and many servants knew about it. This lack of intelligence ability was not consistent with the "power" required to kill Qiang Yin.

Charles did not ask these questions directly, but after a moment of silence, he told Charles the position of the strong speaker in the banquet hall and all the other people attending the luncheon.

Charles took out a notebook, a quill pen and a portable ink bottle and began to carefully record what Charles said, writing almost as fast as Charles spoke.

Soon after Charles finished speaking, Charles turned the page and drew a few simple symbols on it.

"If the strong tone is always at the lunch, then maybe you are missing some information,"

Ciel flipped over the notebook, pointed the symbol on it at Charles in front of him, and asked, "Aside from the symbol above and the wound on the left index finger, does Qiang Yin have any other new injuries?"

"This is……"

The moment Charles saw those symbols, his pupils shrank slightly.

Those were the scars that appeared on Qiang Yin's face when he was in the banquet hall...
