Gospel of Blood

Lottie slowly woke up from her slumber.

What met her eyes was a strange brown-black canopy bed, adorned with exquisite thorny rose and vine patterns, with black gauzy curtains hanging around.

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, casting soft rays onto the bed, and creating a warm atmosphere.

Where... is this?

Looking at the luxurious and unfamiliar bedroom, and the priceless silk pajamas on her body, which she had only seen in the storefront window of a clothing shop, Lottie's gaze was somewhat bewildered.

If she remembered correctly, she was supposed to have been captured by the Blood Demon Cult's High Priest and locked in a dungeon.

Oh, right, she seemed to have had a dream.

She dreamed that the High Priest had taken her to an altar and told her that the creature on the altar was her sister.

She dreamed that the High Priest told her she had always been the other's puppet.

She even dreamed of that night ten years ago, of her sister, of Charlotte, of the resurrected Flame Demon Valaroka...

But then, she couldn't quite remember what happened next.

Lottie's gaze was dazed.

But as she gradually woke up, her blurry memories also became clearer...

No!

That wasn't a dream!

Lottie's face changed slightly, and she instantly sat up from the bed.

"No! Sister!"

Pulling back the covers, she clumsily rolled out of bed. As she stood up, she felt dizzy for a moment and nearly fell.

However, just as she was about to fall to the ground, a slender arm steadied her, and a gentle and mellow voice sounded in her ear.

"Miss Lottie, your mental exhaustion is quite severe. If you get up too quickly, you might faint."

Lottie felt that this voice was quite familiar.

When she looked up, she was slightly stunned.

"Mr. Sebastian?"

Sebastian smiled slightly, helped her back onto the bed, and gently said.

"Good morning, Miss Lottie. You look like you've had a good rest."

"Where... is this? Mr. Sebastian, where is my sister?"

Lottie asked hurriedly.

"This is Castell Mansion. You were unconscious last night, and Master asked me to bring you back. As for your sister, there's no need to worry, she has been rescued."

Sebastian smiled.

"She's rescued? Where is she?"

Lotti grabbed Sebastian's clothes tightly and asked.

"Now... she should be with Master. Don't worry, you'll see each other in a moment."

Sebastian said after a moment of thought.

Upon hearing his words, Lottie breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, she had a lot of questions.

"Master? Castell Mansion... Could it be... Charlotte?"

Lotti couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, my master is the beautiful and noble Miss Charlotte."

Sebastian said proudly.

Lotti fell silent.

She looked at Sebastian with a complicated expression, wanting to speak but hesitating. In the end, she nodded gently:

"I... I understand."

Gurgle...

The sound of her stomach growling came from her abdomen.

Lottie was stunned for a moment, subconsciously covering her stomach, looking embarrassed.

Sebastian smiled.

"Are you hungry?"

"Breakfast is ready. Please change your clothes and have breakfast with Master."

Lottie hesitated for a moment before nodding gently.

After changing into her priest robes, she followed Sebastian out of the bedroom.

Unlike the old and solemn Castell Mansion she remembered, the current mansion was lively, with no traces of the bloodbath from that night.

The bright sunlight illuminated the beautiful corridors, contrasting sharply with the dark dungeon from last night, giving Lottie a feeling of being in another world.

Through the windows of the corridor, Lottie could see young knights practicing swordsmanship in the field and occasionally hearing cheers from the outside.

At one moment, she even wondered if she had been dreaming for a very long time.

In the corridor, people were bustling about. Beautiful maids in uniforms were busy with their tasks.

From time to time, male servants passed by them, carrying large and small boxes.

When they saw the two, they all respectfully greeted them.

Sebastian smiled and explained when he noticed Lottie's curious gaze.

"They are making space in the warehouse. Tomorrow is the day the Count's convoy arrives in Borde City to escort the monthly supplies. Not only does the warehouse need to be cleared, but the mansion also needs to prepare guest rooms for the knights."

The Count's convoy from Castell estate?

Lottie's heart stirred.

She counted the days and suddenly realized that it was indeed tomorrow.

It is said that the Count's convoy from Castell estate is quite famous in Borde City.

As one of the most prominent nobles in the Duchy, every month, heavily armored extraordinary knights escort valuable supplies from the territory. The mighty knight procession is always a very attractive sight when entering the city.

Even Lottie had seen it herself.

Thinking of this, Lottie couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Charlotte... is about to return to the territory too, right?"

"Yes, after Master receives the sacred blessing and the succession blessing from the Holy Court, she will formally inherit the title and leave Borde City."

Sebastian smiled.

Hearing Sebastian's words, Lottie's figure paused slightly, unable to help but say.

"The blessing of the Holy Court? Are you... sure?"

"Hehe, of course. The Castell family is devout believers in the Holy Court, especially the great master!"

Sebastian said with a smile.

Lottie:...

The memories from last night made her subconsciously feel that something was wrong, but when she wanted to speak up, she didn't know how to say it.

And so, as they walked and talked, Lottie followed Sebastian to the mansion's dining room.

"Miss Charlotte, Miss Lottie is here."

Sebastian bowed to the dining room and respectfully said.

"Come in."

A melodious and pleasant voice came from inside the dining room.

Lottie looked over and quickly saw the petite golden-haired girl sitting at the head of the dining table.

Today, she was wearing an elegant white dress, looking extremely noble and beautiful, completely different from the appearance in her dream last night.

Seeing Lottie, the girl showed a pure and radiant smile, gently beckoning.

"Lotti, come and have a meal!"

After a moment of hesitation, Lottie entered the dining room and sat down at the table.

The waiters quickly served various delicious foods for Lottie, all of which were appetizing and tempting.

"You may all leave. Leave only Sebastian."

Charlotte said to the waiters.

After receiving the order, the waiters respectfully withdrew, leaving only Charlotte, Sebastian, and Lottie in the dining room.

And as soon as the door to the dining room closed, a pair of furry hands suddenly reached out from behind and playfully covered Lottie's eyes.

"Ding-ding-ding! Guess who I am?"

A clear and pleasant voice came from behind, making Lottie feel extremely familiar.

She trembled slightly, and her hands subconsciously clenched.

"Sister?!"

Lottie instantly removed the hands covering her eyes and looked back eagerly, but soon her expression froze slightly.

Behind her was a furry teddy bear.

Lottie:...?
