Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

Charles walked straight to the desk, picked up the quill, took out a piece of letter paper at random, and started writing quickly on it.

[There's danger. Qiangyin might find out about Lucy. We might be targeted.]

Avina, wearing a thin nightgown with lace edges, had already walked to Charles' side. Charles raised the letter in his hand and showed the contents to Avina.

The moment she saw the letter, Avina frowned slightly.

"So fast?"

Avina murmured.

She thought for a moment, took the pen from Charles's hand, and took Charles's letter paper to write.

When I came back, I saw a lot of people from Queen's Sword... They seemed to be heading towards Lucy's mansion, but I didn't see Qiang Yin.

Have you sent someone there?

Did the Deton Group sell Lucy so quickly?

It seems that the previous simulation was similar. With a little pressure from Strong Sound and the Church of the God of Order, Lucy's position as executive director was suspended.

At that time, Lucy had just been the executive director for a short time and her foundation was not stable, not to mention that she had not yet taken office. If there were anyone who had a conflict of interest with Lucy or someone whose position was taken away by Lucy, it would not be surprising that they would be betrayed.

But Charles didn't expect it to be so fast...

Looking at the words left by Avina, Charles fell into deep thought.

By now, Qiangyin's men must have been confronting Lucy, and it wasn't long after Lucy delivered the letter...

Charles had to consider whether the messenger had exposed them.

The person who delivered the letter was just a "gambler". No matter how lucky he was, he could not escape the pursuit of so many "detectives".

【Avina, I hope you can do one thing for me】

After a long time, Charles picked up a new piece of letter paper and wrote this.

"what's up?"

Avina sensed the solemnity of the atmosphere. She suppressed her inner worries and asked.

[You, take Nia, Adele, and Amy, and go to Duke Charles to seek his asylum.]

After Charles finished writing this, he put down his pen, turned to look at Avina behind him, and showed her the letter.

Watching Avina's mouth open and close, she looked at Charles in front of her and slowly said: "Now... has it become so urgent?"

"It's urgent."

Charles nodded without elaborating on how dangerous the matter was. She believed that Avina would have the judgment.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Charles would never ask Avina to do something she didn't want to do.

Qiang Yin might come to search the house at any time, so this is the only way to get Avina and the others to a relatively safe place.

"……it is good."

Looking at Charles' eyes, Avina nodded slightly and did not refute Charles' words. She just walked quickly to the wardrobe and quickly put on her clothes, without even taking off her nightgown.

Watching Avina's actions, Charles' worries gradually subsided a little.

In the first 100-day simulation, Avina also chose to return to the Russell family in order to rescue Charles who was imprisoned by Princess Windsor. Charles was convinced that Avina's life could be guaranteed the most basic safety in the Russell family.

"I'll stay at the Deton Hotel. Believe me, nothing will happen..."

Charles opened his mouth to say something soothing, but was interrupted by Avina.

"Now, you should have more important things to do than standing here,"

Avina didn't even look in Charles' direction, but walked straight to the door. After opening it, she turned to look at Charles and said slowly, "Don't waste time."

This time, it was Ciel's turn to not know what to say.

Avina left the room, apparently to look for other people. When Charles walked out of the room, he only saw Avina walking into Adele's room.

Charles turned around and went back to his room in the opposite direction of Avina.

Charles closed the door and looked at Tara in the room. After a moment of silence, he said, "Tara, it might be dangerous if you continue to follow me... If you want, you can leave with Avina and the others."

After hearing what Charles said, Tara took a deep breath, half-knelt down, looked up at Charles and said, "Lord Charles, please don't use your meaningless life to test my loyalty to you."

Ciel took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

She walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked at the street below.

The weather in Ansu was still unusually sunny in the afternoon, but the streets were deserted by wealthy people who would come out to bask in the sun. Instead, armored knights would gallop past from time to time - they were the knights of the Queen's Sword.

There was still a police carriage parked across the street, but Charles saw that a knight in silver-white armor had walked towards the carriage and seemed to be talking to the person in it. He also handed over a letter.

That's Nia...

Following Nia was Adele, whose long silver hair was a little messy. She seemed to have no idea what was happening before she was stuffed into the car by Nia.

Amy wasn't staying at the hotel right now, so the carriage would probably have to go around in circles to pick her up. Charles saw Nia get on the carriage, and then it drove off...

Where's Avina?

Shortly after the carriage left, several knights on their warhorses stopped at the hotel entrance, seemingly preparing to set up a blockade at the entrance... The property of the Deton Group, like that of the Church of the Goddess of Order and the Church of the Goddess of Savior, was to be thoroughly investigated.

click-

Charles's door was opened. She pulled the curtains and looked back, and saw Avina standing at the door.

"Avina..."

Charles looked at Avina at the door and felt a little nervous.

Now, Avina has missed the best time to leave... but there is still a chance. Charles can see that there are no real "Crown Guards" present below. Even Tara can easily bypass them and take Avina away without Charles taking action.

Lucy's mouth definitely won't be pried open so quickly... Now Ciel and the others still have a chance to leave.

Charles took a deep breath and made up his mind to go directly to Eleanor.

She still had a chance to give it a try. If she risked exposing her identity, she could drag Qiang Yin into the flashback again...

"I told you, if you're really in danger,"

Avina walked up to Charles and said, "I won't listen to you."

"Even if it's just a pool of blood and mud, and can help you slow down the enemy's progress for a little while, that's still helping you... isn't it?"

As long as Charles was in danger, no matter what happened, Avina would choose to stand shoulder to shoulder with him - she had done what she had promised.

Charles looked at Tara and Avina in front of him, clenched his fists tightly, and his nails even dug into the flesh.

She couldn't blame the people who loved her...

It was Qiang Yin... who forced her to make such a choice and forced the people around her to take the risk with her.

All the anger will be poured on Qiang Yin's head... and all the hatred will be settled one by one.

At this moment, Ciel and himself, who had drunk the "Avenger" potion, felt a sense of empathy as if their minds were connected.

Chapter 258: Flames of the Past.

(The previous part about not having Lucy deal with the body has been fixed. My fault for standing at attention and admitting my mistake was punished. However, this has no impact on the rest of the story, as Lucy didn't have enough time to secretly deal with the body. At that time, Lucy hadn't officially become the Executive Director, so she didn't have enough authority, which required extra time. I'd like to clarify this, so there's no need to rewind and watch.)

"Your Excellency, there is a letter for you."

"Put it on the table."

"It's...a letter from Miss Avina."

“…Bring it here.”

Duke Charles sat behind the desk and took the letter handed to him by the butler. After looking at the signature written in the beautiful handwriting that was both familiar and unfamiliar, his expression became a little complicated.

It really was sent by Avina...

Charles knew that the stubborn Avina would not send him a letter for no reason, especially since she had not contacted him for so long since she returned to Ansu.

He carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and began to read it word by word.

When he finished reading everything in the letter, he put down the letter in his hand, stretched out his right hand, gently rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed.

"Have all those people arrived?"

Charles looked up and looked at the butler in front of him.

"Yes, Miss Avina's friend and Knight Nia arrived with the letter, and Knight Nia handed it to me."

The butler bowed slightly and said respectfully.

"Settle them down."

Charles waved to the butler, then he thought of something and called out to the butler who was about to leave, "Please prepare a carriage for me."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After the butler left, Charles's expression gradually returned to calm and he fell into deep thought.

From the content of the letter, Charles knew that the girl named Charles originally wanted Avina to bring her friends to seek Charles's shelter...but the most important thing was that Avina did not come.

It really seemed like Avina had surrendered to him... but this "surrender" was obviously thorny.

Qiang Yin has already extended his hand to the Deton Group, but Avina stayed in the Deton Member Hotel with the girl named Charles... This has already sent out a very obvious signal, especially when he and Avina are very clear about each other's style of doing things.

Avina is gambling.

She knew that after she returned to the family, she would most likely be placed under house arrest and would not be released until everything had calmed down. After she protected Avina in the family, she would definitely not care about what was happening outside and would try her best not to get into trouble.

This is Charles' consistent style of maintaining "neutrality"... To put it nicely, it is neutrality, but to put it bluntly, it is being sandwiched between several forces and having to look at people's faces.

The red-haired girl who had a mortal enemy with Qiang Yin for some unknown reason originally planned to stay in the hotel to deal with Qiang Yin by herself, isolated and helpless. Avina stayed there because she was betting that she was important enough in her eyes to force him to come and help the man named Charles deal with Qiang Yin.

"There hasn't been a single letter in several years... How dare you take such a gamble..."

Charles shook his head.

Charles and his daughter have very similar personalities, but they have different understandings of the point of a matter - Charles prefers to maintain absolute rationality and make the best decision, while Avina values ​​friendship more and lets her emotions make decisions.

Otherwise, she would not have chosen to run away from home with the old "Crown Guard" regardless of the consequences just because she did not want to be a "hostage" and was unwilling to hand over Nia to the Church of the God of Order.

It's the same this time. If Avina returns to the family, she can survive, but the girl named Charles will most likely die. But she chooses to stay there, so she has a chance to save the girl by herself and not be unable to do anything.

Will you help yourself?

Charles stood up.

He had already made his choice when he asked the butler to prepare the carriage just now.

He made the "right" choice back then, but almost lost his most important relatives because of it. This time, he will make the "wrong" choice and try to make up for it.

He decided to go to the Dayton Member Hotel in person and forcibly "kidnap" Avina and the girl back.

Something is very wrong with Qiang Yin now. He is imposing martial law on the two major churches, the Church of Salvation and the Church of Order, regardless of the resentment it will cause. Considering the pressure Qiang Yin had in the past, the two churches may not take any action for the time being.

But if this martial law continues, the two churches will explode sooner or later.

Even in this situation, Seraphim reported to himself that Qiangyin sent people from the Queen's Sword to capture the incoming executive director of the Deton Group.

The executive director who was arrested was the one who returned from Buren City on the same train as Avina and the others.

Coupled with the red-haired girl's behavior of coming to find him, it was not difficult for Charles to infer that -

Something must have happened in Burren.

The red-haired girl has a secret.

The secret was enough to make Qiang Yin lose his composure and start to fall out with others and arrest people everywhere.

Charles had no intention of engaging in direct conflict with Qiang Yin. He wanted to know what the secret was. After knowing everything, he would judge whether the secret could end Qiang Yin, and finally decide whether to take action... This was Charles' judgment.

……

Windsor Palace, underground collection room.

"You're crazy..."

Blood was flowing on the ground, and a broken eyepiece was scattered on the ground.

On the cold operating table, a tall and thin figure was tied to it. Her limbs had been completely cut off, and blood was flowing along the grooves of the operating table to the blood trough at the bottom.

"Lafayette... I treated you like my own mother... I thought we were on the same side... But you lied to me, Lafayette."
