“Heeeeeeing!”
The coachman and horses pulling the temple carriage hurriedly retreated as the horse galloped madly.
“What, what is it!”
“Blood, bleed! If you get hit, you’ll die!”
The commotion forced even the high priests and the pope to evacuate noisily.
Thanks to that, the path ahead of Odette was opened up for a moment.
“Heeeeeeing!”
In that open space, the horse that had been torn apart by the wind suddenly came back and stopped.
The man on horseback was someone Odette knew very well.
'...Karl?'
“Master, please get in.”
It was Karl riding a black horse as black as his hair.
Odette, bewildered by the unexpected turn of events, just stared blankly up at Karl. Then he reached out his long arms, grabbed her by the waist, and helped her onto his horse.
“Here!”
And then he started to run faster and faster. She was caught in Karl's large arms and was confused.
'Why did you disobey my orders without permission?'
She had ordered Karl to escort her from a distance, but not to come near her or interfere with her work without her permission.
Just protect them so they don't get noticed by others.
Because she thought that openly bringing slaves around to build up support among the citizens would only have the opposite effect.
‘...Did Karl disobey my orders again?’
A feeling of anxiety that he might turn against her again, just like before. And just that much resentment passed through Odette.
But... At least for now, she didn’t want to scold him for disobeying orders.
It was thanks to Karl getting her out of there that she was able to breathe a little easier.
Karl's embrace was better than the transcendent beings who constantly reminded her of the damn fact that she was a Purifier.
“Take me somewhere secluded, Karl, not to the Count’s residence.”
So Odette leaned against Karl's chest and gave orders in a tired voice.
“Yes, Master.”
Karl tensed his arm muscles even more and immediately kicked the horse's flank.
“Slave! Stop talking now! I am the head of a solemn temple. Can’t you hear my orders?”
The Pope gave the order in a solemn voice, but Karl was too stubborn to listen to it.
“Here!”
Rather, he simply held her deeper into his arms so that she would not be uncomfortable with the rapid pace of his words.
Odette turned her head and looked back from his fast-moving horse.
Fortunately, the other male leads didn't chase after her.
They simply stared at their retreating figures with eyes that were so calm and deep that one could not tell their depth.
A deserted forest path.
No more of that damned scent or light leaked out of her body.
As the transcendent being, the priests, and the crowd disappeared from sight, reason gradually returned.
The first thing she did after regaining her composure was to check the dagger in her inventory.
[ The scheduled use date of Invisible Truth (Dagger) has been changed. ]
[ Invisible Truth (Dagger) ]
[ Ten days later, a dagger to cut out the invisible. ]
'As expected. The remaining dates have changed.'
The number that had been over a month left had suddenly changed to ten days.
This means that Charlotte's appearance date has been brought forward.
Odette could be sure.
'My awakening as a Purifier has made Charlotte even busier.'
Then he will notice that she acted alone without supervision and that she has awakened as a true Purifier.
'It would be a waste of time to go back to the Count's residence, where the Count is already very wary of me.'
So, rather than going back to the Count's mansion, it was better to create a stage. A stage hit the back of Charlotte's head when she appeared ten days later.
Odette, who was pondering over where to go, gave orders to Karl.
“Let’s leave the capital first, Karl. We must go to the Meursault beach.”
“Yes, Master.”
Karl followed her orders silently and without question.
"Odette performed the Purifier's miracle."
The Count did not believe the news of Odette's awakening until it was first reported in the extra edition.
'What the hell are you talking about? What kind of miracle can a fake perform?'
Not only was it impossible for Ferdinand to keep an eye on Odette, making it impossible for her to go out, but more than anything, Odette was nothing more than a worthless woman to the Count.
But...
"The Miracle Made by Lady Odette"
"There has never been a miracle like this in the history of mankind! Odette, the daughter truly loved by God"
"The eternal blessings of the Barceha Empire given by God"
With all the newspapers running such stories, the Count had no choice but to believe them.
“Huh. That kid is the real Purifier?”
For the Count, who suspected that Dolly and Odette had joined hands to strike him in the back of the head, the news of Odette's awakening was not entirely good.
In the worst-case scenario, he was prepared to kill Odette by pretending to die from an illness, but if she drew attention like this, it would be difficult to clean up the aftermath.
On top of that, he heard that she disappeared with Karl after awakening. His head started to spin as the situation seemed to be getting more and more difficult to control.
“Rolf, have your footmen search the capital. Find Odette at all costs! Find her and bring her to my office at once!”
The surprised Count pulled the rope in the study and gave orders to Rolf who had arrived immediately.
If she's a true purifier, it's very useful. He could really use her to mine the royal family.
Although Odette has been acting as she pleases and not subservient to him lately, when it comes to something as big as the awakening of a 'true Purifier', he has to weigh the pros and cons first.
It's impossible for a girl with no ability or support to escape from him. Even if she tries to escape, he can just properly punish her and detain her.
“You don’t necessarily have to bring her in her entirety. Just lock up Odette as soon as you find her. If that doesn’t work, torture her...”
But...
“Sir, Master, I think you should come out to the lobby.”
Rolf, who had turned pale, interrupted the Count's words without answering.
He turned his head reflexively out the door. He didn't even have to go to the lobby.
In front of the office door, there were three S-class Transcendent beings the size of that door, standing together.
“I have come to see Lady Odette.”
The Crown Prince scanned the Count's face with his ominous eyes.
“Hey... You torture your child? Our slum vicious criminals will have to work harder in the future if they want to match the cruelty of the nobles.”
Colonel Koenig applauds and sarcastically remarks on what he just heard.
“...”
Even Sion, who was smoking a cigar with a cold face.
They came into the office and sat down on the sofa as if it was not worth asking the Count's permission.
Without hiding his anger at all.
The coachman and horses pulling the temple carriage hurriedly retreated as the horse galloped madly.
“What, what is it!”
“Blood, bleed! If you get hit, you’ll die!”
The commotion forced even the high priests and the pope to evacuate noisily.

Odette could be sure.
'My awakening as a Purifier has made Charlotte even busier.'
She knows Han Song-i's personality very well.
“What are you doing, you annoying old lady.”
She also knows that Han Song-i's tone of voice definitely contains a conspiracy against her.
And the reason why she suddenly changed her plans to appear is probably because she is extremely impatient.
'Why does the fact that I've awakened make you this anxious, Song-i?'
Why was your purification power red, unlike mine? Are you possessed, or reincarnated? Was Charlotte was you in your past life?
There were many questions she wanted to ask Charlotte, but none of them were really important.
The fact that Charlotte is Han song-i, the fact that Odette has awakened as a Purifier.
These two facts alone were all that mattered, that the situation had long since slipped out of her control.
'There is only one way to win a fight with Han Song-i.'
A big hit to the back of the head at an unexpected time.
'It's a blessing in disguise that I got the store feature.'
The store has something that fits her plans perfectly.
A move that can turn any adverse situation around.
'Status window. Open the store.'
[ Activating 'store function'...]
[ Customizable ■■ ]
[ 1,000,000 Atasha ]
Luckily, the store was selling what she was looking for.
When she was actually playing <Redemption>, she was dumbfounded and thought, 'What the heck are you selling this for?' But now, it's the best thing to screw up Hansong.
'Purchase.'
The moment Odette confirmed that the item was in her inventory, she heard Karl's low voice.
“Where shall we go, master?”
'Yes. Where should I go?'
Odette was lost in thought. Ten days was not a long time at all.
'Since I woke up so loudly, the fact that I am the true Purifier will soon reach the Count's ears.'
