She was wearing the same tunic that Charlotte wore on Victory Day.
Looking at the painting, Odette's thoughts naturally led to Charlotte,
'I wanted Charlotte and Rolf to join hands, so I laid down the board on purpose. I also provoked...'
But even so, she didn't expect Charlotte to decide to be adopted so quickly.
"She's still a commoner. She is only going to be adopted by the Albrecht family."
Odette thought that the 'plan' was actually at least a few months later.
However, Charlotte's reaction was unexpected.
It seemed that she had already confirmed the adoption in her conversation with Rolf.
"No matter how much she gets mad because of me, Charlotte's personality, she didn't measure it at all, and she didn't have a tug-of-war with the Count, and she chose it so quickly."
Rize's report was even more bizarre.
The Count said that Charlotte had put Charlotte's adoption proposal on hold, but Charlotte urged him to adopt her as soon as possible.
"If all she has to do is to go to the Count's residence in response to my provocation, shouldn't Charlotte try to stay in the cathedral for as long as I'm in the cathedral?"
Charlotte, however, did not seem to have any intention of attacking Odette in the cathedral. The status window also did not display any warnings.
Charlotte was rather obsessed with the Count.
'It doesn't make sense to go into the Count's house to find my weaknesses.'
Didn't she know that it was the Count who cut off Odette's tongue in her last life?
"In my last life, Charlotte knew all the circumstances of the Count's death."
Therefore, Odette's weakness is not Charlotte's purpose either.
'Do you really need to be so obsessed with the Count? Unless there is something that can only be obtained at Albrecht's mansion.'
There was something that flashed through her mind as she was worried.
'Karl...?'
Come to think of it, the status window that told her about Karl's hatred two years ago was fake.
She was caught in the 'command' and couldn't feel emotions.
[The only status ailment that can deceive the status screen is 'Karl's 'Favor/Disgust Deception'. ]
[ This is because the Fenril clan is born with a "shield that disrupts the favorability/dislike of all status windows."]
Then... What if Charlotte was also deceived by the status window disturbance in her past life? So what if Charlotte ruined what she was planning?
So what if she wants to have Karl completely in this lifetime?
"..."
At that moment, Odette's mind flashed into Karl's desperate expression as he witnessed her death.
Rather, what appeared on Karl's face was a feeling that could not be expressed with the simple word despair.
Odette ignored the feeling of tightness in her chest, focusing on the problem that needed to be solved right now.
"If Charlotte is really aiming for Karl, I need more of my own to put in the Count's Palace."
Odette straightened herself up and sat down at her desk. It was to write a letter to Rize.
***
Karl was chained and locked in the dungeon of Count Albrecht.
The dungeon of the main building is filled with the smell of blood and musty dust.
The Count accepted Karl. However, the purpose of accepting him was only to keep the Feril clan, who were transcendent and had many uses, underground.
The Count chained and padded several layers over Karl's body.
Every day, he gave strange injections and said that Karl was a nightmare. He also talked about how terrifying Karl was at a young age.
Karl did not remember much of the material, which was not worth remembering. He pretended that he couldn't untie the chains even though they were weak, and he couldn't listen well because he was trying to act as if he was troubled by the effects of the drugs.
And the 'Victory Day'. He chuckled in the cold prison.
"You're back."
He had noticed that Odette had returned to the capital.
It was such a scent. It was such a dizzying and lovely peach blossom scent. Sweet and tempting to the point of numbness all over the body.
Karl's fingertips trembled with intense joy.
My master. The master is mine from head to toe
The cheeky master who abandoned him is back.
He also ignored the Emperor's appointment of him as captain of the imperial army at this moment. Now that he had been freed from slavery, he was willing to ignore the troublesome orders to fulfill his duties to the Empire as a transcendent.
Without a master, what is the meaning of the empire, and what does it mean to mankind?
His life existed to give back to her and punish her as much as the hurt he had received from his master.
***
A month after Odette's resurrection, her resurrection was still a big topic.
Every newspaper and every magazine only talked about Odette.
A purifier chosen by the Gods. Miracle savior. The only resurrection protagonist.
The news of her staying in the cathedral alone increased the donations of the believers tremendously.
Some local priests even complained that the Bible with Odette as the main character should be written as soon as possible.
"Isn't it only in the Bible that the records about Rosalyn are badly damaged? There is nothing left to this day! What if Odette's story is like that in the future?"
The clothes that Odette chose after her resurrection, the shroud she wore when she died, and the black missile. Everything became a hot topic and sold like crazy.
Not only that, but Odette's deeds in the cathedral and her every little thing became a story.
As a result, there was not a single article about Charlotte on Victory Day for two weeks.
There was only one event that surpassed Odette's resurrection and took the first page.
"Albrecht Pharmaceutical Company. Gang sued by the central aristocracy."
Albrecht Pharmaceuticals has relaunched 'Morel', a drug that eliminates fatigue and increases vitality.
The nobles who bought the medicine and took it steadily for a month complained of severe stomach pain.
