Lottie slowly woke up from her sleep.
What caught my eye was an unfamiliar brown-black bed ceiling with exquisite thorny rose patterns and black gauze curtains hanging around it.
Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly, and the soft light slants onto the bed, making it very warm.
This is... where
Looking at the gorgeous and unfamiliar bedroom, and the silk pajamas on her body that looked priceless and had only been seen in the window of a clothing store, Lottie's eyes were a little dazed.
If she remembered correctly, she was captured by the Blood Demon High Priest and locked up in a dungeon.
Oh, yes, I seemed to have had a dream.
She dreamed that the high priest brought her to an altar and told her that the monster on the altar was her sister.
She dreamed that the high priest told her that she had always been his puppet.
She also dreamed of that night ten years ago, her sister, Charlotte, and the resurrected fire demon Valarroka...
But she couldn't remember what happened afterwards.
Lottie's eyes were a little confused.
But as she gradually woke up, her memory became clearer...
No!
That's not a dream!
Lottie's expression changed slightly, and she sat up from the bed in an instant:
"No! Sister!"
She lifted the quilt and staggered out of bed. The moment she stood up, she felt dizzy and fell down.
However, just when she was about to fall to the ground, a slender arm lifted her up steadily, and a gentle and mellow voice sounded beside her ear:
"Ms. Lottie, you are seriously overdrawn. If you stand up too quickly, you will faint."
Lottie just felt that the voice was quite familiar.
When she raised her head, she was slightly stunned:
"Sebastian... sir?"
Sebastian smiled slightly, helped her onto the bed, and said gently:
"Good morning, Miss Lottie. Judging from your complexion, you must have had a good rest."
"Where... is this place? Mr. Sebastian, where is my sister?"
Lottie asked hurriedly.
"This is Castel Manor. You were unconscious last night, and the master asked me to bring you back. As for your sister, don't worry, she has been saved."
Sebastian laughed.
"She was saved? Where is she?"
Lottie grabbed Sebastian's clothes and asked.
"Now... you should be with your master. Don't worry, we'll let you meet each other later."
Sebastian thought for a moment and said.
Lottie heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his words.
But at the same time, she had a lot of questions.
"Master? Castel Manor... Could it be that you mean... Charlotte?"
Lottie couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, my master is the beautiful and noble Miss Charlotte."
Sebastian said proudly.
Lottie remained silent.
She looked at Sebastian with a complicated look, and finally nodded slightly.
"I see."
"Gurgle..."
The sound of stomach growling came from the abdomen.
Lottie was stunned and subconsciously covered her stomach, looking a little embarrassed.
Sebastian smiled and said:
"Are you very hungry?"
"Breakfast is ready. Please change your clothes and eat with the master."
Lottie hesitated and nodded slightly.
After changing into her priest uniform, she followed Sebastian out of the bedroom.
Different from the old-fashioned and serious impression of Castel Manor, the manor today is very lively and does not look like a bloody incident has ever happened there.
The bright sunshine illuminated the magnificent corridor, forming a sharp contrast with the dark dungeon last night, giving Lottie the illusion of being in another world.
Through the corridor window, Lottie could see young knights practicing sword fighting in the garden outside, and heard cheers from time to time.
At one point, she even wondered if she had had a very long dream.
In the corridor, people were coming and going, and beautiful maids in uniform were busy.
From time to time, male servants passed by the two of them, carrying large and small boxes.
When they saw the two of them, they would bow respectfully.
Sebastian seemed to notice Lottie's curious gaze and explained with a smile:
"They are making room for the warehouse. Tomorrow is the day when the Earl's convoy escorting the monthly supplies will arrive in Boulder City. Not only do they need to make room for the warehouse, but the manor also needs to prepare guest rooms for the knights to stay in."
The convoy of the Earl of Castel
Lottie's heart moved slightly.
She calculated the days and realized that it was indeed tomorrow.
By the way, the escort convoy of Earl Castel is quite famous in Boulder City.
As the leading noble in the principality, the precious materials sent from the territory every month are guarded by armored extraordinary knights. The mighty team of knights is a very attractive sight every time they enter the city.
Even Lottie herself had gone to see it.
Thinking of this, Lottie couldn't help but ask:
"Miss Charlotte... is she going to the territory soon?"
"Yes, once the master receives the sacrament and the blessing of succession from the Holy Court, he will officially take over the title and leave Boulder."
Sebastian laughed.
After hearing what Sebastian said, Lottie paused for a moment and couldn't help but say:
"The blessing of the Holy Court? Are you... sure?"
“Haha, of course, the Castel family is a devout believer of the Holy Spirit, especially the great master!”
Sebastian said cheerfully.
Lottie: …
The memory of Mo Hu last night made her subconsciously feel that something was wrong, but when she wanted to speak up, she didn't know how to say it.
As they walked and talked, Lottie was led by the other party to the restaurant of the manor.
"Miss Charlotte, Miss Lottie is here."
Sebastian bowed towards the restaurant and spoke respectfully.
"come in."
A childish and pleasant voice was heard from inside the restaurant.
Lottie looked over and soon saw the petite blonde girl sitting at the main seat in the restaurant.
Today she was wearing an elegant white dress and looked very noble and beautiful, completely different from the one in my dream last night.
Seeing Lottie, the girl smiled innocently and waved gently:
"Sister Lottie, come and have dinner!"
Lottie hesitated for a moment, entered the restaurant, and sat down at the table.
The waiters will soon serve Lottie a variety of delicious food that is mouth-watering.
"All of you should leave, leaving Sebastian alone."
Charlotte said to the waiters.
After receiving the order, the waiters respectfully left, and only Charlotte and three others were left in the restaurant.
As soon as the door of the restaurant was closed, a pair of hairy hands suddenly stretched out from behind and covered Lottie's eyes mischievously.
"Ding-Dang! Guess who I am?"
The clear and pleasant voice came from behind, making Lottie feel extremely familiar.
She trembled slightly, and subconsciously clenched her hands:
"elder sister?!"
Lottie almost instantly pulled away her hands that were covering her eyes and looked behind her with joy, but was soon slightly stunned.
Behind her stood a furry bear doll.
Lottie: ...
