I am the heroine's godfather!

At this moment, Charlotte recalled the fleeting glimpse she had when she was first killed.

Eyes tightly closed...

Could it be that the mysterious swordsman sensed his location by hearing?

If I can conceal my footsteps, then I can enter the mansion without fighting the swordsman.

Chapter 43 Miss Charlotte Suffers (The End)

Conceal your footsteps...

Charlotte suddenly remembered the spell she had initially received called "Concealed Steps." Could that spell be used here?

Anyway, let's give it a try first.

Charlotte opened the scroll and began to study it carefully. The magic wasn't difficult; it was only a first-tier spell, and its effect was merely to eliminate footsteps. Therefore, it wasn't difficult at all. The principle was to concentrate magical power on the soles of the feet to achieve the effect of eliminating sound.

This technique is useless against high-level mages, as they can sense the flow of magical energy. However, it's quite convenient against martial artists. While it might not be effective against high-level martial artists, it's difficult for silver and bronze-level martial artists to detect.

So, will this spell allow me to escape the mysterious swordsman's detection?

Charlotte had no choice but to try anything, if all else failed, she would have to keep at it.

Because learning magic wasn't difficult, Charlotte quickly mastered it. After casting a spell with her staff, Charlotte once again stepped into the courtyard where she had failed countless times. But this time, the wind was still blowing gently, and the flowers were still swaying.

The swordsman did not appear.

But Charlotte didn't let her guard down; she lowered her breathing and walked carefully.

If it were a higher-level concealment spell, it could even conceal all traces of the user, but that's something Charlotte can't control right now.

After walking more than a hundred meters, Charlotte finally reached the very center of the flower field, where the mysterious swordsman was kneeling on one knee, holding a long sword, like a loyal guard protecting the mansion.

Charlotte couldn't help but feel even more curious about the mansion. What kind of ancient family could have such a powerful swordsman guarding it so faithfully?

According to Loran, this mansion dates back to the ancient kingdom of Kadia a thousand years ago, so this swordsman has been guarding this place for a thousand years.

Yet, a thousand years have passed without leaving a single trace on her. Even her armor still bears the blood of the dragon she slew, making it look terrifying.

No longer looking at the knight, Charlotte's eyes were now fixed on the gates of the mysterious mansion.

She reached out and pushed open the door. A gust of wind blew in from inside, carrying the weight of a thousand years of history. In that instant, Charlotte turned around, and everything behind her had vanished into nothingness. Flowers withered and decayed. The magnificent courtyard became ruins, and the knight's armor grew rusty.

The knight's sword broke, and blood seeped from the gaps in his armor, then dried, and finally everything turned to dust.

A weathered voice came from behind Charlotte.

"A thousand years..."

The girl turned around, her gaze passing through the corridor filled with portraits and landing in the center of the mansion.

The mysterious man in black robes was stroking the mysterious treasure chest on the stone platform.

"A thousand years have passed, and finally, that guy is dead."

The mysterious man revealed a somber smile, and the mysterious voice in Charlotte's mind suddenly sighed: "That thousand years are over. The demon sealed by the swordsman has finally broken free from its cage. It will bring darkness to the earth, and war will break out again... Alas, Goddess of Light, your followers beseech you to bestow a miracle and slay this demon."

Charlotte suddenly realized that this mysterious person was the disaster sealed in this mansion, and that the mysterious swordsman had suppressed it for a thousand years!

Even in death, the sword remains unbroken.

He himself opened that door, unleashing disaster...

Are you my believer?

The mysterious man turned his face; his features were obscured by his skeletal appearance, and beneath his black robe lay a similarly withered body.

He held a staff inlaid with purple crystals in his hand, his empty eyes staring at Charlotte.

Charlotte bit her lip and gripped her sword tightly: "No, I'm here to kill you."

"Hahahaha... Kill me? Who wants to kill me? You?"

The mysterious man laughed arrogantly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Even that guy couldn't kill me, and you, a mere first-tier mage, dare to say you want to kill me?"

Charlotte didn't know if she could do it, but in any case, she couldn't let Him go.

Even if He were to leave, Loran would be there to protect Him, but since it was I who released Him, I absolutely cannot stand idly by.

Charlotte gripped her sword tightly and stared at Him.

"Boring."

The mysterious man snorted coldly, his amethyst staff flashing with dazzling purple light: "Then die under my magic, wither away!"

A purple light shot towards Charlotte, who rolled to the side to dodge, then closed the distance and slashed at him with her sword. The mysterious man's health bar in her vision only decreased by a tiny bit.

"Weapons are all things I wield; how could they possibly harm me?"

The mysterious man let out a wild laugh. Charlotte gritted her teeth. Was the sword useless?

Then use magic!

Charlotte's staff condensed holy light, and a beam of light shot towards the mysterious figure, but he easily dodged it.

"Hahaha, this is the difference between you and me! Submit to me, and I will give you everything you want!"

Charlotte smiled and said, "Since the gap between us is so great, why are you avoiding me?"

Are you questioning the gods?

The mysterious figure stared wide-eyed, purple flames flickering within them, filled with extreme displeasure. Charlotte retorted, "If you are truly a god, then why are you afraid of the magic of a mere first-tier mage?"

"Mortal, you deserve to die!"

The mysterious figure flew into a rage, black mist billowing behind him and attacking Charlotte. Charlotte, however, remained calm, holding her staff upright in front of her. Surging light magic gathered before her, forming a barrier that prevented the black mist from advancing an inch.

Charlotte calmly enchanted the Watcher with holy water, then stomped the ground and charged toward the mysterious man.

The mysterious man roared and brandished his staff, actually trying to confront the Watcher head-on, but Charlotte ducked down, and her longsword pierced through the mysterious man's chest.

"Aaaaaah! Mortal, I will not die! I will return once more!!!"

The mysterious man fell to the ground, and Charlotte sneered, "Then I will kill you again!"

"Do not!!!"

The mysterious figure vanished, and the mansion before them began to decay. The mysterious voice laughed: "Thank you, traveler, you have saved us."

"Now, go open the treasure chest; this is your well-deserved reward."

Charlotte stepped forward, opened the treasure chest, and a dazzling light flashed. Inside was... cream pudding!

"what?"

Just then, the mysterious figure suddenly reappeared: "Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you? This was just a trick of mine..."

Black mist swept in, and Charlotte instinctively gripped her sword tighter, then...

"This scene isn't in the script, don't add it to your own story."

A cold voice rang out, and Caroline, dressed in mysterious swordsman attire, smashed her helmet against the head of the mysterious black-robed man.

"what?"

Charlotte blinked, somewhat bewildered by the current situation.

Chapter 44 Loran, in danger!

Just as Charlotte was filled with confusion, the mysterious man in black robes removed his hood and gently ran his hand across the terrifying skull face, instantly transforming it into a bright and cheerful young woman.

"Hello, Miss Charlotte!"

"Mia, and Miss Caroline?"

Charlotte blinked. "What's going on? How did you all get here? Was the enemy I just encountered...?"

"Yes, it's us!"

Before Caroline could say anything, Mia, hands on her hips, said smugly, "How was my acting? Did you feel the pressure?"

"Um...yes, yes."

Charlotte thought to herself, "No wonder she felt that the mysterious black-robed man wasn't as imposing as the mysterious swordsman. It turns out it was Mia playing the role."

That's not surprising, that's not surprising.

Putting those thoughts aside, Charlotte frowned and began to ask Mia and Caroline, "So, is this maze real, or...?"

"I know I know!"

Before Caroline could say anything, Mia excitedly raised her hand: "It was Lord Loran who made it!"

Caroline silently shut her mouth and stopped looking at Mia.

"Loran, I see. So it was Loran who did it."

Charlotte smiled brightly, but for some reason, Caroline and Mia felt a chill run down their spines.

"What's going on? I'm wearing quite a lot today..."

Mia rubbed her arms, somewhat confused.

Meanwhile, in Loran's bedroom, Serena was looking at Loran with a half-smile: "Now little Charlotte knows."

"..."

Lorraine had a bad feeling ever since Mia took the initiative to add scenes for herself, and sure enough, the girl really told Charlotte everything!

Mia! Just you wait, when you get back, you'll have an extra week of sweeping duties!

Thinking about the treatment he might receive after Charlotte's return, Lorraine felt a wave of sadness.

It's all Mia's fault!

Ah, this person has absolutely no self-reflection on the fact that this outcome was caused by their own perverse tastes.

When Charlotte returned, she looked at Lorraine's ingratiating expression, snorted, and then greeted Serena with a smile: "Miss Serena, I'm back!"

"Hmm, you must be tired? Dinner is ready in the kitchen."

Serena smiled and took Charlotte's hand, then secretly gave Lorraine, who was feeling like the sky had fallen because his daughter was ignoring him, a look that signaled him to hurry up and prepare things to comfort the child.

When it was time for dinner, Lorraine was still nowhere to be seen, and Serena hadn't mentioned eating either. Charlotte pouted, staring at Lorraine's seat. She wasn't actually that angry; she just wanted to throw a little tantrum.

It's all Loran's fault for coming up with this annoying maze!

And she might have seen everything he did in the maze!

This time, I absolutely cannot let him coax me so easily. I need to stay silent for at least three days... two days... three hours without speaking to him!

But my dear Miss Charlotte, you should be in bed after dinner. By the time you wake up, three hours will have already passed.

In short, Charlotte is very angry!

After a while, Lorraine arrived late, carrying an exquisite gift box: "Guess what this is?"

But no one responded.

Miss Charlotte was still angry, and Caroline had a cold face and rarely spoke.

Mia?

I was hoping she would say something nice.

As for Miss Serena, she was enjoying the spectacle. After all, it was rare to see Loran like this, and even Miss Serena, who always doted on Loran, wanted to see it more often.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing that no one paid him any attention, Loran coughed softly twice, while Charlotte snorted coldly and didn't answer. Mia, who was standing to the side, burst out laughing, which earned her a glare from Loran and made Caroline move a few steps away from him.

Serena laughed too, but her older sister still doted on Loran, so she chimed in at the right moment, "Oh, whose gift is this? Is it someone's birthday today?"

"This is Charlotte's reward for completing the game!"

With her sister's offer, Loran naturally followed suit, holding the gift box and approaching Charlotte with an obsequious expression. This made Charlotte, who had just vowed never to speak to Loran, unable to help but laugh. She then immediately straightened her face and said, "Who wants your reward for clearing the level?"

"Oh dear, what a pity. It seems that this collector's edition of Her Majesty the Saint's Travelogue can only be given to someone else."

Loran looked regretful, but Charlotte immediately grabbed the gift box: "Who said I didn't want it!"

As a devoted fan of Messiah, Charlotte has read this travelogue dozens of times, but hers is only the regular edition; the collector's edition is said to have Her Majesty's autograph!

Unfortunately, this travelogue only covers the period up to the point before entering the Demon King's castle. At the end of the book, Her Majesty the Saint wrote, "After defeating the Demon King, I will tell Lorian something extremely important!" And that was the last thing she wrote.

Countless readers eagerly awaited the sequel to Her Majesty the Saint, but in the end, they received no response.

Perhaps no result is the result in itself.
