“Okay, Karl. It’s done.”
The brief moment of agitation soon disappeared.
At this moment, Charlotte must have looked brave and prayed, 'Please make Karl happy.'
Was the favorability rating at that time 1?
“Well... there’s no way something like Star will grant your wish.”
Sorry, but I can't be satisfied with 1.
“You can make it happen?”
The first part of <Karl Root>.
Karl, who had opened his heart to Charlotte, told her about his wish, but Charlotte was too poor to grant it.
So, to console Karl, Charlotte built a simple tomb in the palace garden and offered prayers. It was a ritual of remembrance.
Even though she only gave him that much, Karl's favorability rating went up by +5. It's a pretty significant increase.
Odette said this while facing Karl, who was loosening his grip.
“It’s not free. It’s a job where you have to go out into the tundra and collect all the skeletons buried in the snow.”
“...”
“Can you imagine how much bloody gold it would cost? I can’t accept nothing for granting such an expensive wish.”
Karl took his hand away. He must have realized that this was a great opportunity.
That she really intends to make his earnest wish come true.
“But since you are special to me, it won’t be very expensive.”
Karl spoke again in a gentle voice as if the anger from before had completely disappeared.
“What do you want in return? What do you want me to do-.”
Odette can tell how desperate he is, seeing him stutter and stammer so unexpectedly.
Yes, that concludes all the events that gave me 5 affection points.
“Imprint on me, Karl.”
It was time to hold the favorability event to get the last 5.
Odette smiled with satisfaction, brushing the hair off his face.
It was a great success, as it was cut quite nicely. Although it was Karl's face that was completed rather than her dexterity.
“You look prettier with your eyes exposed.”
A bit thin, but with a nice bone structure. A face full of decadence, actually quite to her taste.
'After awakening as a Transcendent, he became even more handsome than before.'
The dark red eyes, like those of a wild beast, stared at her intently. Then he opened his mouth.
“You are beautiful, Lady Odette.”
Odette looked at Karl in surprise.
'Was that a character who could say things like that?'
In <Redemption>, she had never seen Karl like this. Even to Charlotte, who had 100 favorability ratings, the only change he had seen was that he had become a little gentler.
But she couldn't stay surprised for long.
It was because the first shooting star had fallen from the sky as if foreshadowing the ecstatic party that was about to take place.
Night lake event during Karl's route in <Redemption>.
This was the event where Charlotte first raised Karl's favorability rating, and the content was as follows.
The villainess Odette is taken away by the guards, and Charlotte visits the Count's mansion, which has been left in disarray by the search.
And then she accidentally discovers Karl, who was locked up in the annex's underground prison.
Charlotte, who saved him, takes Karl to her master's clinic located near the lake.
Karl, who had just regained consciousness, stares blankly at the lake, while Charlotte sits cautiously around him.
The two of them are together in silence. As two shooting stars fall, Charlotte says this.
< This is a story I heard from a gypsy a long time ago. There is a custom among a certain foreign tribe where they make a wish on a shooting star. Isn't it romantic? >
< ... >
<Tell me your wish. Let's each make a wish.>
< Done. >
< Really? Then I'll take both? ...Please make Karl happy. And... Please make that romantic stranger happy too. >
At Charlotte's wish, Karl looks up at the night sky again for the first time in a long time.
For the first time since the fall of the Kingdom of Fenrir.
Hometown. His roots. For the first time in a long while, Karl feels warmth towards Charlotte, who vaguely remembers the customs of the Fenrir clan.
Although his expression was blunt, the plot was that he had feelings for Charlotte.
That's why Odette waited for the current meteor shower. She wanted to mimic the events in the game as closely as possible.
Unlike other male leads who could just lower their dislike level, she had to gain favor with Karl.
'But there's no favorability status window. I can't even guess whether his favorability has increased or not just by looking at his expression or actions.'
So Odette planned to imitate the scenes in the game as much as possible. The moments that definitely raised the favorability rating.
Thanks to her memories from her previous life, she remembered that the meteor shower on the last day of the founding of the country was spectacular.
And soon after, a meteor shower began.
Starlight streaked across the night sky. A spectacle created by the overwhelming number of stars.
If there is anything different from what she expected,
'Oh my God. I didn't know it would be this beautiful-'
The fact that it was so beautiful that even Odette, who was trying to take advantage of the situation, was overwhelmed.
She couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
“Wow-.”
Thanks to the river, the night sky appeared in two, like a decal. It was fantastic as if she was standing in space with a meteor shower pouring down.
It was then that as if possessed by something, the ancient language of the Fenrir clan came to mind.
“[Bloodline of the wolf that swallowed the sun. Do you also have a great wish?]”
Karl, who had been watching the meteor shower with dry eyes, looked back at Odette with startled, agitated eyes.
“How... do you know our ancient language?”
'That's right. How did I say that?'
Originally, it wasn't in the ancient language, but she was going to follow Charlotte's line, 'Tell me what you wish for.'
The moment she saw the magical sight of the meteor shower, the voice of the voice actor of <Redemption> came to mind.
The one who was most surprised was Odette who said that, but she smiled shamelessly as if she had intended to.
“I told you, I fell in love with your beautiful face. I studied hard about the Kingdom of Fenrir. That’s all.”
She shrugged and pretended it was no big deal.
“Interest? That’s not something you can know with just moderate interest.”
“It’s boring. Instead of asking questions like that, why don’t you just answer the question? Do you have any great wishes that you can make for a meteor shower?”
Karl looked at her as if he was not convinced, but when she showed no sign of answering, he eventually spoke first.
“...There is nothing like making a wish to the stars.”
It was a great success, as it was cut quite nicely. Although it was Karl's face that was completed rather than her dexterity.

Sorry, but I can't be satisfied with 1.
If she wants to finish her revenge before Charlotte comes, she needs to get her affection level to at least 10 right away.
His cynical tone was enough to make Odette angry, but Karl answered expressionlessly.
“Just because I'm insignificant and lowly, doesn’t mean my wish is insignificant.”
“That’s not what I meant. I meant that the wish you have should be made upon a person, not upon a star.”
“You speak as if you know exactly what I want.”
“I know. Your wish is to restore the ruined kingdom of Fenrir and hold a funeral for your clan. That way, their souls will not perish but be reborn.”
She got to the point right away.
At that moment, Karl quickly grabbed her neck.
There was a murderous intent in his grip. The face of a beast that had shaken off the imitation of a gentle beast.
“What the hell are you?”
“...Karl.”

“...Karl.”
Karl gently tightened his grip on her neck. Odette had to try not to squirm.
“The ancient language just now was the same. I’m slowly becoming more certain. Did you secretly investigate the Kingdom of Fenrir?”
I can't help but know. The first thing you did after awakening as a Transcendent was to collect the corpses of your clan that were abandoned in your hometown.
It is a pity that I cannot say.
“I wasn’t investigating the Kingdom of Fenrir. I was investigating you.”
First of all, to escape this murder, she has to convince Fenrir that she's not a threat.
“I told you I wanted you, so of course I know what you want.”
Perhaps because he judged that her words were not a threat to Fenrir, the sharp murderous intent surrounding him began to gradually diminish.
“And the question you should be asking is not, ‘How do you know that?’ Didn’t I just say that the wish is one that you have to ask for from a person?”
Odette faced Karl and answered, enduring the pain in her throat.
“You should ask if I can grant that wish, right? If you were to make a wish, you should pray to me, your master, not to the stars.”
Karl asked her back.
