She blindfolded Shion because she didn't want to make eye contact with him. She was worried that she might be brainwashed during the purification.
Odette's lips met Shion's. At the same time, a wave of light from her body rushed toward her lips.
He felt it wash away his pollution like a wave.
'That's why we call it purification.'
Even though it was her first time purifying, Odette instinctively knew what to do.
Odette studied Shion's face. As the purification took place, the small scratches on Shion's cheeks disappeared. His tense body also slowly relaxed.
For some reason, his breathing became more labored, but he didn't seem to be uncomfortable with the purification.
'Somehow... It's a bit strange.'
Odette had never attached any significance to her purification. Therefore, she was willing to give it in exchange for purification. She thought it wouldn't mean anything that Shion was her first purification partner.
However, contrary to her expectations, Odette felt strange during the purification.
Shion was so uncomfortable and uncomfortable. He's such a big human compared to her.
'Why do you feel so sorry for this person?'
At least at the moment of purification, the transcendent in front of her seemed weak. Like a wounded little beast that she needs to take care of.
Odette forced herself to ignore the feeling of her heart pounding.
And just when she felt that she had been cleansed enough, Odette slowly parted her lips.
"...I wish you a peaceful afternoon."
Then she got off the carriage with a greeting. She thought that there would be no debt between them.
Odette intended to meet Damien in this square.
She believed that the Pope would eventually take her hand. If he goes to another doctor, he will eventually find out that Odette's words are true.
The Pope must have known long ago that Raphael was aiming for the position of the Pope, but he would not have known that the Great Priest had encroached on Raphael to the point that everyone kept silent, even though they tried to poison him.
So, if Damien is active, she can hit Fernand and Raphael at the same time.
"Fernand, you have to try it."
In her previous life, Odette went through the trial without knowing why. She was imprisoned and had to suffer from a wrongful warrant.
'Imagine how miserable it is for all human beings to criticize you without knowing what it is.'
She couldn't cut off his tongue with her own hands, so she wouldn't let anyone trust his tongue.
'My brother. I hope you die a terrible death.'
Fernand's doom was finally right around her sight.
***
Count Albrecht officially decided to adopt Charlotte, a Class A purifier.
Charlotte openly obtained Raphael's permission for all the procedures of adoption. This further strengthened Raphael's position in the cathedral.
"I sincerely congratulate Saintess Charlotte on her admission."
It was Raphael who announced the congratulatory speech on behalf of the cathedral, not the Pope.
Charlotte Albrecht. The second Count Albrecht.
People thought that the second purifier chose Albrecht for a reason. Baek's status began to rise slowly again.
After her adoption, the first thing Lady Charlotte did was go to the imperial palace to meet the emperor.
She asks him to remove the punishment from Albrecht Pharmaceuticals. Instead, she said she would gladly respond to any request for purification.
The Emperor withdrew the warning against Albrecht, who had finally been suspended at her request. That was the existence of the Purifier on the continent.
Just as the Emperor's revocation of the warning became a signal, the nobles also dropped their charges against the Count one by one
The bereaved family members of the deceased nobleman also showed a favorable attitude towards the agreement. There were no additional deaths.
The question of how to compensate remained, but in any case, the Count was beginning to breathe a little.
However, the Count still had a grudge against Charlotte.
'I don't care about Paula.'
Charlotte simply said that the reason for choosing Paula was that she had met her before, so it's nice to see her.
True to her word, even if he confided in Sasha and Charlotte, there was not much contact between the two, except that they had met by chance five years ago.
However, the Count, who could not ignore the possibility that Charlotte was Sasha's man and that Paula was looking for something in the mansion, finally decided to accept some of Rolf's advice.
"Why don't you officially enroll an illegitimate child?"
He didn't officially enroll him right away, but he decided to treat him like an illegitimate child in the future.
Compared to what seemed to exist, it was a great elevation.
"Give Mrs. Becker and her son the use of the guest room on the third floor."
The room given to Mrs. Becker was not as good as it was when she was acting Countess.
But it was still a cozy room with plenty of sunlight. The room has a private bathroom, so it is a comfortable room for staying with children.
Mrs. Becker, far from being proud of the room, bowed down to say she was grateful to receive it.
"Thank you. I appreciate it, Count..."
She even fell to the floor and sobbed.
Mrs. Becker's attitude made the Count even more satisfied.
"From now on, let's treat Mrs. Becker as befits a guest. I also hired a nanny to take care of the child."
"Yes, the master."
"Rolf, take a good look at it periodically. I hope my child grows up healthy and well."
However, no one in the mansion guessed that Mrs. Becker's inner thoughts were the opposite of her outward humility.
Only Malea knew Mrs. Becker's intentions. Mrs. Becker had told Malea everything.
"I haven't named my son yet. I think the Count will have something to build for me soon."
Mrs. Becker said to Malea, with the child in her arms.
"Fernand just needs one more accident, and my child will be the only heir."
"Of course, it would be great if that were the case... Why do you think so?"
"Why do you think Fernand, who killed people so easily five years ago, hasn't killed people since?"
"Hey, he was sentenced to death at that time. He must have been surprised, so isn't it because he is reflecting?"
"No way. Such a person never changes easily. If you believe that you can avoid the death penalty in the future because you have avoided the death penalty once, you don't know."
Mrs. Becker remembered the words she had heard from the Count in her bedroom many years ago.
Fernan's management, which was originally supposed to be done by the Count, is now being done by S-Class Transcendents.
"As much as I knew Odette was a Purifier, the S-Class Transcendents had been managing Fernand. His Excellency the Marquis of Kleist. His Highness the Crown Prince. He said that if he made a mistake, he would take care of everything. You should hate Odette, but we're the Purifier's family, after all."
"..."
"But you know? After Odette's death, His Highness completely turned away. It seems that the Marquis, who is still fine, has stopped paying attention to Fernand. Even though Odette was resurrected."
"Mrs. Becker."
"Fernand is bound to have an accident. It was also a bigger accident than before. There's no way my son won't get a chance."
Mrs. Becker's voice was filled with a conviction bordering on madness. It was a conviction unique to someone who had watched Fernand since he was a child.
And, just as Mrs. Becker predicted. Fernand had an accident.
It was also a very big accident.
