After washing up in Tara’s bathroom and changing into the dress Tara had already hand-washed clean, Ciel walked out of the house with Tara.
As she felt the sunlight on her face, a slight expression of relief appeared on Ciel’s sowhat pale face.
Although she was a little weak now, it was only compared to her previous self. The current Ciel could still lift two Taras with her bare hands without a problem.
However, just as she walked out of the house, Ciel subtly twitched her nose, as if she slled sothing.
“Is sothing burning?”
Ciel slled the strange burnt sll and looked around, searching for the source of the fire.
At this mont, Tara, who was following behind Ciel, finally realized sothing and quickly said, “I’m sorry, Lord Ciel, I forgot I was still stewing the potato at soup for you…”
Tara hurriedly reopened the door and ran to the kitchen to turn off the heat. The “potato soup” in the pot had already turned into a charcoal paste.
Looking at the contents of the pot, Ciel still felt weak and asked softly, “You… fed this every day?”
“No, no, no, it’s not like that, Lord Ciel. I usually stew the potato at soup, then mash it all into a paste before feeding it to you…”
Tara shook her head repeatedly, denying it.
“It’s a very normal and very delicious food.”
Normal, it should be quite normal, but delicious… Ciel would tentatively believe her.
After walking out of the house again, Ciel took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.
Forte was dead. A large mountain that had been weighing on Ciel’s heart had also been removed, making her feel a sense of relief.
But now, she had to put her thoughts away.
Especially at a ti like this, she couldn’t let down her guard. Even if Forte was dead, she had to make sure that anything left behind after his death that could affect her was dealt with. Only then would it be completely resolved.
“Let’s go, to Avena’s house.”
Ciel said.
By this ti… Avena should have already moved into her new ho.
However, Tara spoke directly, reminding Ciel.
“Lord Ciel, Lady Avena has not moved there. She has been staying at the Roswell family mansion,”
Tara said, “As for Miss Adele and Miss Amy, they have each moved to the new residences they rented before.”
While Ciel was unconscious, Tara hadn’t been idle either.
To better protect Ciel, she had sent an urgent letter and called upon a forr student of hers from another place to help her gather information and secretly protect this house.
However, since Lord Ciel had already awoken, she could probably have that cardinal return.
“Is that so…”
Ciel nodded. After thinking for a mont, she said, “Then let’s go, to the Roswell family mansion.”
Duke Charles would inevitably et her again sooner or later. This was sothing that couldn’t be avoided, as he was Avena’s biological father.
Moreover, Ciel also wanted to confirm Avena’s current state… Without seeing Avena, she would feel uneasy.
Tara flagged down a carriage for her. The carriage carried Ciel and Tara towards the Roswell family mansion.
After about fifteen minutes, the carriage stopped in front of the courtyard of a luxurious mansion. Ciel got out and paid the fare, then led Tara towards the entrance.
A guard noticed Ciel approaching. He was about to step forward and stop her, but after accidentally making eye contact with Ciel, he imdiately took two steps back. After taking a deep breath, he instinctively raised his sidearm and aid it at Ciel.
“Don’t… don’t co any closer!”
Fear had almost completely controlled the guard. It seed that if Ciel made any unusual move, he would imdiately open fire.
Seeing this scene, Ciel sighed softly and lowered her gaze.
She had been out of that strange dream for too long. Ciel had almost forgotten that most people in the city had had Nesis stacked on them, especially in the West District, where many had already had it stacked two or three tis.
She would have to pay special attention to this issue in the future… She already had the enhancent of the system skill 【Charm】, plus 【Nesis】. This would make her presence particularly noticeable.
Before Ciel could speak, Tara imdiately stepped forward, spread her arms, blocking in front of Ciel, and said sharply, “Impudent! How dare you be disrespectful to Lord Ciel?!”
In Tara’s eyes, ordinary people with false beliefs and no abilities or knowledge were no different from ants. For such an ant to dare to be disrespectful to Lord Ciel was an insult to her, Tara.
Ciel slowly raised her hand and gently patted Tara’s soft shoulder, calming down the sowhat ruffled Tara. She slightly lowered her head and said, “I am a friend of Young Mistress Avena. Could I trouble you to go in and inform her? Just say Ciel is here.”
“Hhh… Hhh…”
At this mont, the guard, who had only just reacted, realized that he was aiming his gun at a young girl. He quickly re-holstered his gun on his shoulder and said, “I apologize, Miss. I accidentally offended you just now… I will imdiately have soone inform Miss Avena.”
Even now, the guard still didn’t understand the reason for the sudden fear just now, but he subconsciously dared not look in the direction of the red-haired young girl again, as if he had developed so kind of psychological trauma.
At the sa ti, he also secretly regretted it in his heart.
By the God of Order… I actually raised my gun and aid it at such a kind and gentle young girl just now… Heaven knows what possessed just now.
The guard reached out and summoned a maid, asking the maid to enter the mansion and inform Avena.
The maid hurried into the mansion. After asking a few other maids and learning that Lady Avena had gone to the study after finishing her al, she went to the study door and gently knocked.
Knock knock knock——
“Co in.”
The maid inside the study gently opened the door. After the two of them spoke in low voices for a while, the maid inside the study closed the door, walked to the desk, and looked at Avena, who was writing sothing. She lowered her head and said:
“Young Mistress, you have a visitor. She calls herself Ciel.”
