The female devils I saved came to my door

Really, she has changed so much.

The innocent girl who came to him every day to ask for rewards and wanted to become a magician seemed to have disappeared forever.

"Teacher Charles..." She tilted her head and shook the sharp blade in her hand.The magic knife with a terrifying spell attached to it was already close to Ciel's face.

She sighed softly: "Did I do anything wrong at that time? I obviously managed the Ipoli Empire so well, everyone was so happy, and everyone admired me so much...Why did you betray me, Mr. Charles?" Why did you leave me?"

"The authorities are crazy, I just did what I should do." Charles didn't want to get entangled with Lovna: "I'm sorry, I don't want to explain what I did. I didn't betray you in the end, don't get me wrong."

"Leaving me without saying goodbye and causing so much trouble for me before leaving...isn't that considered betrayal?" Lovna snorted coldly: "Teacher, you are so heartless. But it's okay, right away, Sirna is coming over too, and at that time, we will come and have a good talk with you."

"Have you reconciled?" Charles was a little relieved when he heard the news: "After you reunite, please don't quarrel over unknown things again."

"No!" Lovna's eyes widened viciously: "...We are just joining forces temporarily! Also, Charles, don't think that you can point your fingers at my affairs just because I call you teacher a few times! You and I They are equal! I have the right to do what I want to you! Even if I want to tie you up, cut off all your limbs, and lock you in a dungeon forever, no one can control me!"

After saying that, she stopped, as if pressing the pause button.

Realizing that her performance just now was a bit out of control, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

As if putting on a mask, she smiled warmly again:

"I'm sorry, Teacher Charles, I'm a little out of control. You don't mind, do you?"

"It's a good thing that you can be angry with me." Charles said sincerely: "This means that the greedy and naughty little girl is not dead yet."

"Greedy...naughty..." The smile on Lovna's face became even bigger: "Yeah, greedy, I like the various snacks the teacher bought me the most, the fluffy cakes with cream, and the Crispy toast with jam, grilled and browned steak... At that time, I was sitting in the yard, enjoying the delicacies brought to me by the teacher. Teacher, you were sitting on your seat, looking at me and talking to me... …”

She licked her lips, slowly approached Charles, stretched out her arms to hug him, but still did not put down the sharp blade in her hand.

She nibbled Ciel's earlobe: "But all the delicacies are not as good as yours, teacher. I really feel that you are the food of life given to me by the eternal Lord of the Supreme Heaven, and only you can make me feel full." , Teacher Charles..."

"Lovna." Charles suddenly said: "If I go with you, can you let go of the girl next to me?"

"The girl next to you?"

Lovna turned her head and looked at Wuming lying on the ground.

She snorted contemptuously: "This female bodyguard who overestimates her abilities?"

She was already stiff and speechless because of the spell cast by Lovna.

This strong girl has no magical talent. She relies solely on her bravery and stupid loyalty to stay with Ciel, live with him and take care of his daily life...

Lovna gave her a cold look, then looked at Ciel.

"You're so kind to her." She commented: "Why don't you just leave her now like you left me then?"

"It's not that good. I have been taken care of by Wuming for these years, and she is very responsible for me. Please allow me to treat her, my dear Her Majesty the Queen."

"...Then hurry up, she will be dead in 2 minutes."

After receiving the permission, Charles breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately leaned down, held Wuming's hands, bit his own finger, and dropped a drop of red blood on Wuming's eyebrows.

Then, he recited a mantra.

The blood dripping from Wuming's eyebrows seeped into her skin, like a magical elixir that brought the dead back to life.

Gradually, the black spells all over Wuming's body slowly faded away.

She coughed up two mouthfuls of blood with difficulty, but her body was still limp and unconscious.Her strong hands could not even hold the hem of Ciel's clothes at this time.

"Okay, Teacher Charles, her life is safe." Lovna urged impatiently: "Get up and leave this hellish place with me now -"

Before she finished speaking, Ciel suddenly waved his hand and released a burst of black mist, covering the entire study.

Then, he picked up Wu Ming and stepped on the floor of the study room, activating the teleportation circle that had been prepared in advance just in case.

The magic circle emitted a dazzling light, throwing Charles and the nameless body in his arms into the chaotic void.

"Char, you bastard! You lied to me again!"

The last thing that came to my ears was Lovna's crying scream.

After a flash of light and a spinning shaking, Ciel escaped with the weak Wuming in his arms.

14. In Lovnaniya

When Wuming woke up, she vaguely felt that she was lying on a soft bed, and could smell the aroma of citrus, and there seemed to be some noisy sounds coming and going...

Ever since she followed Ciel and stayed with him, she had never felt so tired and weak.

Even opening my eyes seemed to take all my energy.

"Don't move."

A voice that made her extremely reassuring said beside her: "I have temporarily helped you resolve the curse on you, but your body functions have not recovered yet. Even if you wake up, don't force it and get more rest."

Although he said this, Wuming felt that he had gained some strength.

Finally I opened my hazy eyes and saw a small and exquisite kerosene lamp hanging on the ceiling of a low bedroom.

After twisting her neck with difficulty, she realized that she was currently lying on a large bed in a hotel room, and Charles was sitting by the window sill, gently fiddling with a scented candle with orange peel added to it.

He had already changed into regular clothes, and the warm sunshine outside the window shone on him, making him look like a sculpture wearing a golden cloak.

The noisy voices seemed to be coming from outside the window sill.

The house they were in faced a noisy avenue.Exciting music and cheers were heard outside the window, and it seemed that a grand parade was being held.

"Master Charles..." Wuming recalled the moment before he was attacked, and suddenly felt extremely ashamed: "I'm sorry, when I was sorting the books for you, that woman suddenly appeared behind me, and she looked like a ghost. He dodged the attack easily and raised his hand to knock me down. I...I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, she is very strong, and I may not be sure that I can beat her. And I don't want to fight her. You have done a good job." Charles put the incense candle on the bedside table: "Your curse is not complete yet. Resolve it. First smell the detoxifying candle incense, then lie down and rest without exerting any force. This will make you feel better."

"Oh……"

Wuming also felt that he was too panicked.

Ciel's calm look made her tense body relax.

Only then did she notice the important point.

"Lord Charles, where are we?"

"In Lovnania, the capital of the East Ipoli Empire." When Charles mentioned this name, his expression was a little subtle: "...I left a teleportation circle under the study just in case, and took it with me in desperation. You teleported here. To be precise, we are near the commercial street in the outer city of Lovnaniya. I found a hotel and will stay here first."

“Eastern Ipoli…”

Wuming knew that this was one of the most powerful empires on the continent.He is the orthodox successor who continues to this day after the division of the real Ipoli Empire from east to west hundreds of years ago.

Although I don't understand why Charles, a person who likes to live in solitude, came to the capital of such a large empire to escape for his life.

But Wuming was weak and couldn't ask more questions.

Now, she is more worried about another problem.

"Master Charles, then our home..."

"Don't think about going back, we can't stay there anymore." Charles shook his head: "We have to change our residence. Let's make do with this hotel first, and then we can find a place to buy a house later."

This bad news made Wuming very depressed.

She liked the castle by the sea very much.

There were thousands of books that she had carefully organized for Charles, and drinks that she carefully selected that she could drink without repeating them throughout the year.

Warm warehouses are stocked with kippers, hams and sausages, allowing for a variety of dishes to be prepared month after month.

Every room in that castle was carefully taken care of and decorated by her. It was a place where she could rest with Ciel.

Now, it's all gone.

"Don't be sad. As long as people are still there, we will definitely be able to build a better new home." Seeing the girl's loss, Charles comforted her: "You are fine, and so am I. This is the best."

"...Yes, Mr. Charles."

Wuming was still a little frustrated.

"You rest first, I'll go downstairs to buy something to eat. You need to eat now - what do you want to eat?"

"Master Charles, you should have asked me to prepare food for you..."

"You're sick, so don't be polite to me. Get well quickly so we can be on our way."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Wuming gave the reply: "Just a piece of bread, Lord Charles."

"You need meat, eggs, and milk now. Let's add milk tea and fried eggs." Charles stood up, opened the door, and turned around and said, "Do you want anything else?"

"Uh, Lord Charles..."

"Go ahead."

Wuming asked cautiously: "That red-haired woman, who is she? Is she Lord Charles's enemy? Will she come after you?"

"..." Charles said nothing.

"Lord Charles?"

"I don't know." Charles shook his head: "I hope she can't find us."

After saying that, he closed the door and walked downstairs.

After all, he didn't know how Lovna found his location.

The hotel where he is currently staying is called "The First Old Veteran's Inn".It was opened by a retired East Ypoli veteran, but he has died and his son and daughter are now running the bar.

The hotel is divided into two floors, with seven or eight bedrooms upstairs, and a bar that also sells snacks downstairs.It's three or four o'clock in the afternoon, a time when there isn't much business.There were only a few listless customers sitting in the shop, drinking half-warm beer and talking about trivial matters.

He asked the boss for a bacon omelette and toast, as well as some minced pea soup.

While waiting for the food, he walked out of the hotel door and stared at the street for a while.

This street is very prosperous, a wide road leading straight into the inner city. The flowerbeds on both sides are filled with ornamental vegetation, and the tall poles are hung with colorful flags and portraits of the current imperial family members.

In a few days, it will be the birthday of the reigning Emperor of the Eastern Ipolitan Empire.

The royal family organized a large-scale parade, riding on ostentatious floats, patrolling along the main streets of the city over and over again with the sound of the band playing.Throwing bouquets and coins at the cheering people on the roadside, this unnecessary way of showing off their wealth and status also attracted the jaws of foreign business envoys.

There is no way, the East Ipoli Empire does have money.

The long parade of floats has no end in sight.At the end of the procession are the largest and tallest floats, which hold giant portraits of the emperors of East Ipoli and are driving slowly in the middle of the road.

In the portraits, these emperors with black hair and black eyes also looked solemnly at their people.

Pedestrians stopped one after another to salute the great emperors.Those who get the honor even have to kneel down in front of the float.

In the portrait, the former emperors of the East Ipolitan Empire, who were sitting solemnly, dressed exaggeratedly and with serious faces, were blowing their beards and staring in the frame.

And ranking last among all the emperor's portraits is a huge full-length portrait nearly ten meters high.

This painting is huge.Two magicians are required to stand behind the painting and use magic to lift it up to maintain balance on the float and prevent it from tipping over.

In the giant picture frame with exquisitely carved patterns, there is a red-haired girl wearing a bright red floor-length dress, holding a wine glass in one hand and a sharp knife in the other.Her hair was uncombed and hung carelessly on the back of her head.With a faint smile on her face, she was looking down at the subjects who were bowing to her with red pupils.

She is Lovna von Ippoli.

The founding empress of the Eastern Ipolitan Empire, the origin of the name of the city "Lovnania".

After watching the parade for a while, Charles felt exaggerated and bored, so he returned to the restaurant.

By chance, the meal he ordered was also ready.

The boss put the plate with the dishes on the bar and pushed it to Ciel who came to pick up the meal.

"The city is very lively today." Charles said casually: "There are so many floats in the parade that you can't see anywhere else."

"Lovnaniya has always been so lively." The boss responded nonchalantly: "Just get used to it."

15. The education of Hilna and Lovna

When Charles returned to the guest room with the plate, he found that Wuming had climbed out of bed.

She was lying on the window sill looking out with her eyes wide open.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't move! Go back to bed and lie down!"

"... Mr. Charles, I saw it." Wuming turned his head and pointed tremblingly at the float that just passed by the window: "The woman in the big painting is the one who attacked us! This... she..."

She saw the huge portrait of Lovna on the parade float.

"Okay, okay, don't get excited first, sit down." Charles put the dish in his hand on the table, pulled Wuming back from the window sill, and pressed him on the bed: "I know it's her. You go first Eat, I’ll explain it to you later.”
