Although Lucy was covered in the sll of alcohol and couldn’t even walk steadily, her thought process didn’t seem to be too affected by the drunkenness.
She swayed past Ciel, closed the door, turned to look at Ciel, and asked:
“How many servants saw you?”
Lucy’s tone was calm when she said this, as if as soon as Ciel described them, she would go and “handle” those people.
But Lucy didn’t know that the person standing before her was no longer the “Law Officer” Ciel.
“Don’t worry, no one could see .”
Ciel shook her head and asked, “During the days I was inside, what happened outside?”
What Ciel needed to understand most clearly now was what had happened outside in the almost one month since her simulated self was arrested by the Royal Orchestra on September 27th until now, October 25th, when she arrived.
Her simulated self on October 2nd only obtained her “Spiritual Notes.” From then until October 25th, when she arrived, the information she could get basically ca from Windsor’s mouth. Even reading newspapers was forbidden.
Windsor had an unhealthy possessiveness over Ciel, controlling what she could see and what she couldn’t... She didn’t know how her simulated self managed to endure it.
Upon hearing Ciel’s question, Lucy slowly sighed.
This period was simply the darkest ti she had ever experienced.
During the days Ciel was missing, Avena, who was closest to Ciel, chose to return to her family to negotiate for revenge and to rescue Ciel. This was also equivalent to receiving the protection of the Roswell family.
All the remaining pressure fell on Lucy, who had hosted Ciel and her group upon their arrival in Ansu. For this, she had to seek external cooperation.
To prevent the Redemption Society from revealing the location of Ciel’s sister, she secretly contacted the high-ranking officials of the Redemption Society and conveyed the news that she still had the sample.
At this mont, the Redemption Society was holding its breath with nowhere to vent. Their subordinate, the Ansu Physicians’ Association, was the largest dical consortium in all of Ansu.
After learning that there were still samples, they blocked all information about Ciel’s sister and continuously sent people to contact Lucy, wanting to obtain the sample.
Such a large Roswell family, investigating a nationally shocking explosion case for so long without any information leaking out. Even when they finally announced the arrest, the perpetrators turned out to be just a gang from the Holy Church District?
Is this possible?
The public would believe this explanation, but the Redemption Society, which knew about the involvent of transcendent power, would not believe it.
The Redemption Society also realized the strangeness of the situation and no longer trusted the information provided by any organization with interests related to the Roswell family. They began to investigate themselves.
But they didn’t have Ciel’s mindset. They didn’t dare to capture and brainwash an Archbishop of the Church of the God of Order. Naturally, they couldn’t investigate anything, and they didn’t even suspect the Church of the God of Order.
And Lucy believed the ti was right. She revealed the news that Ciel, who knew the truth, was imprisoned by the royal family. As long as they found Ciel, the mystery behind it could be solved.
But the Redemption Society, upon realizing that the matter was connected to the royal family and the Church of the God of Order, they—actually fell silent and gave up on pursuing the investigation. However, they promised Lucy that they would not reveal any information and that those they promised to protect would be protected.
After all, the original intention of the Redemption Society was just to heal the sick and save people. If they continued to investigate, it might trigger a larger war, which was sothing they did not wish to see.
Lucy also didn’t expect the Redemption Society to give up like this. She knew she was very likely to be sold out. She couldn’t even contact Avena. She could only brace herself and transfer the others.
She had just connected with Ciel’s maid guard and conveyed the secret ssage. That very night, she was investigated by the Deton Disciplinary Departnt.
There was an insider within the Holy Oracle Society, or among her subordinates.
Fortunately, within Deton Group, the director identity was equivalent to a death-exempting gold dal. Although Lucy was interrogated daily after being suspended, Deton Group did not subject her to any violence. And for the daily inspections, she managed to fool them by pretending to be drunk and acting foolish.
It wasn’t entirely pretending. Being removed from the board was a huge blow to Lucy. It was as if all her previous efforts had been wasted. She hadn’t even been in the director position for two months...
But if this continued, and the royal family learned the news and continued to pressure Deton Group, the next people to co might not be the Disciplinary Departnt...
Sotis Lucy hesitated, wondering if she should just give in. Although she would sell out Ciel’s people, she could return to the board seat and wouldn’t have to face the threat of death that could co at any ti.
Most importantly, it had been almost a month, and she had received no news from Ciel’s organization at all. She wasn’t even sure if Ciel was still alive.
Lucy was now surviving almost every day by flipping her “Strong Luck Coin.” She was thinking that when she rolled two tails, she would decisively go to the Disciplinary Departnt and reveal all the information.
—Because she didn’t believe that in such a difficult situation, she could withstand the negative influence of two tails from the coin.
Blowing up so many people, severely injuring Professor Ashford, and the Redemption Society actually swallowed this anger like that?
Ciel listened to Lucy’s account, her brows slightly furrowed.
In that case, the Redemption Society was not a viable option for cooperation... The Redemption Society was not entirely ungrateful for agreeing to continue protecting Lichie, but their principles made them unwilling to escalate the matter further.
Unless sothing that fundantally affected their interests was involved...
“What about the Church of the Savior Goddess? Have they taken any action during this ti?”
Ciel looked at Lucy and asked.
