Gospel of Blood

"Crazy? No... this is being clever."

Duke Borde shook his head lightly.

With that, he looked calmly at Leno and said.

"If you want to be a qualified Duke of Borde, you must have some skills."

But Leno burst into laughter.

"What a cleverly! What a skill! What a Borde!"

With that, he tore off the lion emblem from his chest and threw it on the ground, saying,

"If this is what you call the revered Borde, then... keep this emblem for yourself!"

"This filthy surname, such nobility, disgusts me!"

After saying this, Leno also took off his splendid noble robe, threw it on the ground, and then turned and left.

"Stop! You rebel! Pick up the family emblem for me!"

Duke Borde's expression darkened, and his voice was stern.

The pressure of a Third Tier Blazing Sun burst out instantly, and Leno's face turned pale instantly.

However, he still stood tall and coldly said.

"No... that's your family emblem."

"From today on, I have no relation with Borde anymore."

"I swear to the Lord Harald, I, Leno, have no more ties with the Borde family!"

With that, he slammed the door and left without looking back.

Duke Borde looked in the direction Leno disappeared with an ugly expression, angrily crushing the armrest of the chair. But soon, he slumped back into the chair, looking much older all of a sudden...

...

Borde City's North Gate.

Kara led her horse, silently looking at the beautiful girl who came to see her off.

Under the black parasol, the girl with golden hair and blue eyes smiled charmingly and asked sincerely.

"Miss Kara, have you really decided to leave Borde and restart your mercenary career in the Eastern Yunette Blackland?"

"Would you reconsider my proposal?"

Kara remained silent for a moment, then shook her head gently.

"No, I'm tired."

Upon hearing Kara's words, the girl's expression was somewhat regretful. She sighed softly, saying,

"I understand. Thank you for your care in Borde. I wish you a safe journey and hope you can start a new life in the Eastern Yunette Blackland."

"The Easter Yunette Blackland is not too far from the Castell domain, and Castell's gates are always open for you. I hope in the future... we can meet again."

Kara nodded slightly, then mounted her horse.

"Thank you."

She left these last words and rode away.

Watching the gradually disappearing figure of the female knight on the horizon, Sebastian, holding the umbrella for Charlotte, sighed softly.

"Clearly wanting to find out the truth, but always working for enemies... Miss Kara is really pitiful."

Charlotte also nodded in agreement.

Kara must have been utterly disappointed with the church to the point of resigning from the Demon Hunter Bureau.

She still hoped to recruit such an extraordinary knight to her territory.

But unfortunately... after experiencing various setbacks, the other party no longer had the mood to work for Castell.

"I hope that after leaving Borde, she can soon get out of the past's shadow."

The girl said.

"But unfortunately... she didn't manage to strike a blow to Duke Borde. From what I know, Kara's report to the church did not involve the Borde family."

Sebastian said regretfully.

Charlotte smiled ambiguously.

"That's not necessarily true."

While the two were talking, the urgent sound of horse hooves came from behind.

Charlotte's heart stirred and she turned around.

After seeing the person riding on top clearly, she smiled slightly and said.

"Lord Leno, why did you come out of the city?"

The person riding the horse was indeed Leno.

He had changed back into the clothes and equipment of a free mercenary, and there was no longer the emblem and sword of the Borde family.

He eagerly looked around, as if searching for something.

Even after hearing Charlotte's voice, his mind was not on talking with the girl, but rather absent-mindedly said.

"Oh... Miss Charlotte..."

After speaking, he hurriedly asked.

"Ah! Miss Charlotte, have you seen Kara? I heard someone say she left the city from this direction!"

"Miss Kara? She has headed north."

Charlotte said.

"North?!"

Leno's spirits lifted.

"Yes, she's leaving Borde. She said she's going to the Eastern Yunette Blackland to start a new life..."

Charlotte continued.

"Leaving Borde... heading to Eastern Yunette..."

Leno murmured to himself, his gaze towards the distance becoming firm.

"Miss Charlotte, thank you for letting me know!"

After that, he looked apologetic again.

"Also... I'm sorry."

He performed a mercenary etiquette towards Charlotte, then continued riding his horse, chasing towards the north.

Watching Leno gradually disappear, Sebastian couldn't help but say,

"It seems that the old Duke will have another headache for his succession issue."

Charlotte nodded slightly.

The old Duke was as cunning as a fox.

Apart from those memories in Lottie's dream, he had left no evidence pointing to him.

The Duke was a prominent noble in the kingdom. Without sufficient evidence, even the Holy Court couldn't act against him.

But sometimes, striking the enemy doesn't necessarily require sufficient evidence.

His own life was not going to last long, yet he severed ties with his only heir...

For Duke Borde, who regarded the succession of his family as paramount, this was akin to witnessing the end of his family line, a punishment more agonizing than death itself!

Taking her gaze back from the distance, Charlotte reached out gently.

Dots of light gathered in her hand, and the specters of the victim girls appeared.

"Everything is over now, you guys... can also rest in peace."

She sighed.

They gently bowed to Charlotte. A breeze blew, and the dots of light scattered with the wind.

Charlotte watched the last wisp of soul dissipate. Then, she turned and left.

...

In the Holy Calendar year 1444, in the Seventh Month, the High Priest of Borde colluded with the Blood Demon Cult, causing great outrage in Borde and even in the Crescent Kingdom.

In the Ninth Month of the same year, the criminal Leonard was arrested by the Holy Court in the capital of the Crescent Kingdom. Due to his severe impact, he was immediately sentenced to burning at the stake by the judge of the Crescent Diocese.

At the same time, the heir of the Borde family, Leno de Borde, announced his separation from the Borde family and went to the adventurer's paradise, the Eastern Yunette Blackland, to become a free mercenary...

In the Tenth Month, after a detailed investigation, the Holy Court confirmed the suspected appearance of a Bloodborne Divinity in Borde.

According to the confession of the criminal Leonard, the Holy Court referred to THEM as God Nyx and listed THEM as a key target of investigation...
