"Sister Marie...?"
Lottie asked hesitantly, looking at the fluffy toy.
"That's right!"
The toy happily bounced around.
But the next second, it lost all its strength and flopped to the ground with a thud.
"Sister?!"
Lottie was startled and quickly crouched down to pick up the toy.
But the next mont, a familiar voice sounded behind her.
"Oh dear, this body isn't quite up to par... Lord Sebasian, I think I might still have to wait for the new body you're preparing for ."
Hearing the voice behind her, Lottie froze for a mont, then quickly turned around, but when she saw the "sister" behind her, she was even more stunned.
In mid-air, there floated a semi-transparent, ethereal shadow, vaguely human-shaped, recognizable as the figure of a young girl.
"Sister? You... what's going on with you?"
Lottie's eyes widened.
"Her body was destroyed, self-destructing with the failure of the ritual, but... I used the necromantic power to bring her back to life."
"Of course, in the form of a ghost."
On the other side of the dining table, Charlotte took a delicate sip of milk and said gracefully.
A ghost?
Lottie's eyes widened.
Resurrecting ghost... that's forbidden in the Holy Court!
She looked at the ethereal Marie and couldn't help but ask.
"So, sister... can she be resurrected?"
Charlotte looked at Sebastian, who then explained.
"If a suitable body can be found, theoretically, it should be possible."
"Miss Marie has once fused with the Fla Demon Vararoka, and her soul has undergone so mutations, acquiring a slight Blazing Sun quality. In terms of status, it's sowhat similar to a high-ranking ghost, able to exist independently. This is the fundantal reason why Master can allow her to exist in the form of a ghost... and high-ranking ghosts can also 'reincarnate' by taking over a physical body."
Hearing that her sister could be resurrected, Lottie breathed a sigh of relief.
But Sebastian's next words made her heart tense again.
"Of course, this is just theoretically; in practice, there might be so issues."
"What... kind of issues?"
Lottie pressed for an answer.
"Miss Marie doesn't want to be resurrected. Instead of changing bodies and being reborn as a human, she prefers to be a ghost and has even asked to make a body suitable for ghost activities."
Sebastian said.
"Sister...?"
Lottie couldn't help but look at Marie floating in the air.
Marie shook her head and said.
"Lottie, it was my request. Being able to survive is already a great fortune for ."
"I don't want to take over soone else's body just for the sake of being reborn."
Hearing Marie's words, Lottie's expression beca deeply guilty.
"I'm... sorry..."
"It's all my fault... if it weren't for , sister wouldn't have ended up like this..."
"Why apologize? No! Lottie, you're not wrong! The ones at fault are the evil Blood Demon Cult! We are all victims!"
Marie shook her head.
Then, she cheerfully added.
"Actually, being a ghost isn't bad. Lady Charlotte and Lord Sebastian will help adapt to my new identity."
"I've already thought about it, I'll ask Lord Sebastian to find soone to make a golem puppet, and I'll be a puppet maid in the House of Castell!"
"A maid of Castell? You... you're leaving Borde?"
Lottie's eyes widened in surprise, unable to help asking.
Marie nodded and said.
"Yes, Lottie, the Fla Demon Valaroka has been defeated by Lady Charlotte, and everything has settled down."
"The Fla Demon was defeated by Charlotte?!"

Lottie trembled slightly, looking incredulously at the innocent-smiling girl on the other side of the dining table.
Combined with the vague mories from her dreams, she suddenly felt that the girl's image in her heart had beco incredibly unfamiliar and mysterious...
"Not only that, but Lady Charlotte and Lord Sebastian also wiped out the entire Blood Demon Cult, including the High Priest, last night, and even those nobles from the Dreaming Salon received their due punishnts..."
"It's over, everything's over, and I've gained my freedom. It's ti to leave this sad place and start a new life."
With that, Marie floated in front of Lottie, her face full of hope.
"Lottie, when Lady Charlotte inherits the title, co with us, let's go to the territory of the Castell County together, and start a new life!"
"For so many years, although I couldn't communicate with you, I've been watching you all along, and I know you haven't been happy here either..."
"I know you've been lurking by the side of the Tulip Count to find , now... we can be together."
Hearing Marie's words, Lottie hesitated.
Feeling her hesitation, Marie smiled and changed the subject.
"Of course, if you want to continue staying in Borde, that's also a good choice."
"Although the church has dark corners, there are also places of light, and Lord Raoul is a saintly figure worthy of respect..."
"Don't worry, Lottie, after I get a new body, I'll co to see you!"
With that, the girl suddenly yawned, and her figure beca even more ethereal.
"Ah, I've been out for a bit too long, Lottie. Lady Charlotte said that my current state is unstable, and I need to sleep often to adapt to the ghost power."
"I... I need to go to sleep for a while."
"After I wake up, I'll continue to chat with you!"
With that, the girl turned into a gentle breeze and entered a clear crystal ball on the dining table.
That was the crystal ball brought by Sebas, which could protect ghosts.
Marie fell asleep, and there were only three people left in the dining room: Lottie, Charlotte, and Sebastian.
Sitting at the dining table, Lottie was clearly a bit nervous and uneasy looking at the smiling master and servant.
Charlotte sighed softly and said.
"The Holy Court forbids undead resurrection, and Borde is a core diocese of the church. Here... Miss Marie is always at risk of being discovered for her true identity."
"Compared to Borde, Castell is a better place to go."
"Sister Lottie, don't worry, I will take good care of Miss Marie."
Hearing the girl's words, Lottie hesitated for a mont, then couldn't help but say.
"Is it... the sa for you?"
Charlotte was taken aback, then smiled.
"Yes, for , Castell is also a place where I can stretch my legs more."
Lottie fell silent.
After a while, she softly asked.
"Can I... still call you Charlotte?"
Charlotte paused for a mont, then sighed.
"Sister Lottie, you can always call Charlotte..."
Lottie trembled slightly, her gaze toward the girl was complex.
After bowing her head in silence for a while, Lottie looked up again and asked.
"The Holy Court's blessing... would it be the High Priest?"
"If we follow the traditional process, it should be."
Charlotte nodded.
"To be honest... I don't think the High Priest is a good choice."
Lottie hesitated for a mont and reminded her.
Charlotte smiled.
"Sister Lottie, I understand what you an."
"However, High Priest is just a position, and there are still a few months before I inherit the title. Who knows which High Priest will bless by then?"
Lottie's heart stirred, and she looked up in surprise.
Seeing her astonished expression, Charlotte continued to smile.
"Sister Lottie..."
"I can tell that you don't really have any attachnt to Borde either... but you seem to have sothing on your mind, sothing weighing heavily on you."
"Are you... thinking about High Priest Leonard and Duke Borde?"
Lottie hesitated for a mont, then nodded.
