Chapter 52: Rose Society is... our ally?

Chapter 52: Rose Society is... our ally?

"Master! Good morning~!" (in unison)

Looking at the figures standing at the entrance of the hall, lined up on both sides, each dressed in their own maid outfit, adorable and charming in appearance, their postures respectful and obedient, their tone of voice professionally standard, Charlotte's eyes twitched.

On the side, the old butler Casimodo and more than ten male and female servants stood dumbfounded, their mouths wide open enough to fit a duck egg.

Charlotte's inquiring gaze swept past them, instantly met with Casimodo's wry smile.

"It's... not arranged by me..."

After saying that, he looked somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't it arranged by Master? They... they seem to be..."

They are all extraordinary beings.

In her heart, Charlotte spoke the words that the old butler didn't say aloud.

These beautiful elf maids did not deliberately conceal their aura. With her sensitive perception, Charlotte could feel the faint magical fluctuations emanating from them.

The two leaders are probably even at the first-tier.

No wonder Casimodo didn't stop them from coming in. In the face of extraordinaries, he couldn't stop them either.

At the same time, the fact that these elf maids could swagger into the mansion also meant one thing. That is, since the blood magic incident at the mansion, the Duke's covert protection of the Castell Manor has been completely withdrawn.

Watching the respectful bows of the elf maids, and the red carpet that stretched all the way to the gate, covered with rose petals, Charlotte realized who the instigator was.

"Don't be nervous, they should be on our side."

Sighing inwardly, she said.

Should... be?

Casimodo was stunned.

The girl didn't explain but walked towards the outside of the hall.

Outside, the red carpet extended all the way to the gate of the mansion, with elf maids standing on both sides, probably seventy or eighty of them. And... all of them are extraordinaries!

Although except for the two leaders, none of them have reached first-tier, and their aura is much weaker than Charlotte's... But they are still extraordinaries, each one probably comparable to an experienced city guard.

"Master, good morning!"

At the sight of Charlotte, the elf maids outside also bowed and greeted her, their delicate voices sounding in unison, attracting the attention of countless passersby outside the mansion.

Charlotte:...

Wrong. It should be said that countless passersby had already been attracted.

When the girl looked towards the gate of the mansion, her expression quickly stiffened.

At the gate, at the end of the carpet, an incredibly luxurious elongated carriage was parked there.

Unlike the low-key luxury carriage of the Castel Manor, this carriage was extremely high-profile, with exaggerated styling, predominantly black in color, and decorated with various exquisite and elaborate elf-style patterns.

Even the horses pulling the carriage were not common carriage horses, they were actually four rare black-haired unicorns.

On the side of the carriage, the large and shiny black eagle emblem of the Castell family was eye-catching, so new that it seemed to have been set overnight.

And in front and behind the carriage, there were eight or nine slightly smaller carriages, each with a shiny new Castell family emblem, guarding the front and rear like escorts.

On both sides of the road, there were also sturdy men wearing the Castell family's male servant uniforms, looking fierce and imposing, with extremely sharp auras. Each one of them was tall and muscular.

More and more onlookers gathered around.

In fact, if it weren't for the imposing aura of those strong men, this street would probably have been crowded.

Charlotte:...

She took a deep breath, calmed her turbulent emotions, and clenched and then loosened her fist.

With a composed face, the girl walked up to the carriage.

A figure appeared in front of her in an instant. A mysterious man wearing the Castell family's steward black uniform, with a gentleman's hat and a crow mask, elegantly and respectfully bowed to her.

"Oh! What a beautiful day it is!"

"Noble master, your humble servant, Stian, is at your service!"

Charlotte:...

"Sebastian?"

"Noble master, you've mistaken me, I am your humble servant, Stian!"

"Sebastian."

"Stian!"

"Sebastian."

"St... Stian?"

Listening to the girl's emotionless repetition, the man's voice sounded a bit guilty.

Charlotte glanced at his slightly exposed ears and red hair that hadn't been completely concealed.

"Has anyone ever told you?"

"When you're in disguise, you should also cover your pointed ears and red hair..."

The man's body stiffened instantly.

He awkwardly smiled, elegantly snapped his fingers, and his red hair instantly turned black, and his pointed ears became the same as a human's.

Then, he once again respectfully bowed.

"Noble master, thank you for your wise reminder, your humble servant, Stian, is at your service!"

Charlotte:...

She saw through him, this guy did it on purpose.

He showed a flaw in front of the leader, pretended to be stupid, let the leader point it out personally, and then patted himself on the back, winning the leader's favor...

She was too familiar with this in her past life.

So familiar that she felt sorry for herself.

On the other side, Casimodo, who was following Charlotte, was already completely stunned.

As the owner of the former Castell family shop in the outer city district, who frequently operated in the outer city district, he was more familiar with a certain legendary figure in the outer city district than anyone else.

Although people from a distance might not see clearly, he also saw the pointed ears and red hair that flashed by under the girl's reminder.

Combined with the master's address to the other party, and some news he heard at the banquet last night, he quickly recognized the identity of the mysterious person.

Sebastian! He is Sebastian Flameheart!

The president of the Rose Society, the true master of the underworld in the outer city district!

Oh my god!

He actually called himself a servant in front of the master?!

Is it himself who's gone crazy, or is this world gone crazy?

Wait a minute...

Could this guy be trying to curry favor with the young master in this way?

It is said that at the banquet last night, he approached the master and even drove away the heirs of other families!

Thinking of something, Casimodo's expression changed slightly.

No! He must not let the master be deceived by him!

After thinking about it, Casimodo gritted his teeth and stepped forward, leaning close to the girl's ear, and earnestly advised.

"Master, the Castell family is a long-standing, prestigious noble family, while the Rose Society is... an underground gang."

"Be careful when you're with such a person... be careful of his intentions..."

Looking at the old servant's worried expression, Charlotte gave him a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of measure, he, like you, also serves the family."

After hearing the girl's words, Casimodo was stunned.

The Rose Society? Serve the family?

What on earth is going on?

He couldn't help but look at Sebastian wearing the mask, and Sebastian smiled gracefully, giving him a bow.

"Sir Casimodo."

"The master is right, I, like you, also serve the Castell family, just that you are in the sunlight, while I am in the shadow."

"Remove the extra people, get on the carriage, don't be so ostentatious."

Charlotte didn't dwell on this issue any longer but looked at Sebastian coldly.

"Obey your orders!"

Sebastian elegantly bowed and began to arrange things.

After dismissing the maids and servants, he knelt gracefully in front of the carriage.

"Noble master, the ground is too dirty, and the carriage is too high, please step on Stian's back and shoulders to get on the carriage!"

Charlotte:...

She looked at Sebastian coldly, and gently uttered a word.

"Get lost."

Ignoring the excited fire elf who was almost going crazy, Charlotte gracefully jumped onto the carriage by herself.

On the other side, Casimodo was completely dumbfounded.

"The Rose Society... turns out to be the family's hidden force?"
