“How did you know?” Ciel pursued.
“I... once pursued Windsor... visited Windsor Palace several tis... but I rarely got to see Windsor... I could only look for her within the palace...”
Oppold recalled with difficulty. He seed to rember sothing and continued, “The last ti I went... I found an underground passage, but I didn’t see Windsor there... Instead, I saw Forte...”
“Finally, I don’t know how I returned ho... I was warned by my father not to go near Princess Windsor again... There must be sothing underground...”
Under Windsor Palace?
Ciel asked a few more questions, and when she couldn’t get anything else, Ciel had Oppold fall directly into a dream. Then she began to quickly search the study and Forte’s room.
Uris and Amy both helped Ciel search. Even the mansion’s servants were controlled by Ciel, turning the entire mansion almost upside down, but they didn’t find anything.
While the search was halfway through, a huge tremor occurred in the East District. Looking out the window towards the East District, a black and red sky could be seen covering the sky.
It seems... the summoning was successful.
Ciel had to speed up. Before Forte died or returned, she had to find his Spiritual Notes.
There was no harvest in Forte’s mansion. Ciel imdiately changed direction and took the two back to Windsor Palace.
Due to Princess Windsor being kidnapped, the transcendent guards here had basically gone with Forte to look for Windsor. Not a single transcendent remained here. This allowed Ciel to enter the palace very easily.
The location of the underground passage was surprisingly easy to find. Ciel reached an underground passage without any effort.
Walking forward along the passage, Ciel saw a closed door. Ciel pushed open the door and frowned slightly.
This was a “collection room,” and Ciel recognized it at a glance. This was definitely Windsor’s collection room.
Because she knew what the effects of the “Butcher” potion were. As long as she put herself in the shoes of being affected by the “Butcher” potion, she could feel the wonderfulness of this place.
Ciel’s familiarity and personal experience with various potions were sothing others did not possess.
She walked inside and began to search. She easily found a simple, thick notebook—Windsor’s full na was signed on the cover.
It seed to be Windsor’s Spiritual Notes.
Ciel handed the Spiritual Notes to Uris, asking her to help break the spiritual imprint on it. anwhile, she searched every corner of the collection room.
Amy knew Ciel was looking for sothing very important and was also helping to search.
Just like she did in Forte’s room, she took out a bag of seeds from her pocket and began to evenly spread them in various corners of the collection room.
The seeds that landed quickly sprouted. Soft branches infiltrated the cracks in the bricks.
If there was a hollow space behind the bricks, Amy could find it.
...Cannot find it.
Ciel took a deep breath.
She had almost searched through the entire underground collection room, but she couldn’t find anything related to Forte. She even began to doubt if her idea was incorrect.
Did Forte really not leave any clues?
Or could it be that he couldn’t control where the scars from “Uniqueness” appeared?
No, he must be able to control where the wounds appear. Otherwise, with so many wounds on his body, none of them would have been fatal.
Spiritual Notes were a very important item for transcendents, especially for soone like Forte who had lived for so long. It was impossible for him not to have Spiritual Notes, especially given that he had confused mories.
There was another important point.
Spiritual Notes were sothing that needed to be recorded frequently. It couldn’t possibly be kept in a place that was difficult to access. Moreover, the purpose of Spiritual Notes was for others to check for spiritual abnormalities. Writing it herself wouldn’t have any aning.
“Miss Ciel.”
At this mont, Uris had just finished deciphering Windsor’s Spiritual Notes and handed it to Ciel.
“Thank you.”
Ciel took Windsor’s Spiritual Notes and quickly flipped through it.
With her photographic mory, Ciel’s reading speed was extrely fast. And Windsor’s Spiritual Notes were not very extensive. It seed she had only beco a transcendent for less than two years.
In her rapid reading, Ciel also got a general idea of Windsor’s activities in the past two years. At the sa ti, she discovered so unusual things.
Especially in the past few months, Windsor would basically complain in her Spiritual Notes every few pages.
【Forte ca looking for with his notes again. Did everyone in his family die? No one else to help him look? So annoying...】
【His notebook is thick and heavy, and the things he records are all over the place. There are even a lot of spelling errors. He’s only able to make a living in the royal family because he plays the piano well】
Windsor hadn’t been a transcendent for long. She seed not to even know Forte’s status among the royal family’s transcendents...
Furthermore, Ciel could even sense from the writing between the lines that Windsor seemingly didn’t even know Forte was her biological father.
Forte’s Spiritual Notes were actually checked by Windsor?
Windsor’s previous musical talent was very poor, and her logical thinking ability was also a ss. She was often emotional and couldn’t pursue the “Detective” or “Musician” paths.
The Queen had basically given up on her entering the transcendent world before. Even with the royal family’s resources, Windsor, with such poor aptitude, would likely struggle to survive. There was a high possibility of her going insane from the whispers.
Windsor’s path to transcendence seed to have been guided step by step by Forte. Even the “Butcher” potion was chosen by Forte for her.
This made Ciel a little confused.
Windsor acted so spoiled. In every aspect, she was inferior to her sister Vita. But why did Forte seem to dote on Windsor more?
A monster who had lived for hundreds of years, especially soone like Forte who had extre possessiveness and an intense thirst for power, would he invest so much emotion in a daughter?
Ciel would put a question mark here for now.
