Wuming really wanted to ask her what happened to Ciel after he agreed to marry Catlin, and how Lovna became the queen... But I'm afraid it would be a bit troublesome if he asked.Therefore, Wuming still suppressed his curiosity in his heart.
Charles tacitly understood and didn't ask any more questions. He just hugged Lovna in his arms tighter and more forcefully when he fell asleep every night.
"Char, Teacher Charles..." One night, a tired Lovna whispered in his ear and couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to meet your descendants? They are all good children, especially It’s your eldest daughter Sharlanna, she always admired you during her lifetime.”
Charles didn't answer.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Lovna had no choice but to kiss him: "Just tell me if you change your mind."
This life lasted for several months.
Finally, Wuming couldn't bear it any longer.
"Master Charles, well - since you and Miss Lovna have reconciled, can we leave Lovnania? We came here to hide from Lovna, and now we don't have to hide anymore. . Although I like this city very much, our old house, the castle by the sea, also needs to be taken care of, and it is more spacious. When will the three of us go back together? "
"In the future, since we are all here, we will stay here for a while." Charles gave a vague answer.
Even though everything has been reconciled and there is no need to hide from Lovna, why do you still want to stay here?
Is it because you like this city and want to visit more here?
However, now Charles is still unwilling to go out and stays at home with Lovna.
Prime Minister Avenue seems to have returned to normal. The flower beds and decorative silks have been removed, and there are no guards or plainclothes. It has turned back into a lively pedestrian street.
However, Ciel still didn't go out, and he didn't let Wuming go out either.
He said there was no shortage of anything in the residence and there was no need to wander out.
"Master Charles, do you have any concerns now?" Wuming couldn't help but ask.
Charles didn't answer.
Wuming looked at the silent Ciel, reviewing everything he had experienced since coming to Lovnaniya with him, and seemed to vaguely guess something.
Coming to Lovnaniya is not just for Lovna.
The rulers here have always been the descendants of Ciel.
The portraits of the successive Ipoli emperors she saw in the exhibition hall of the Imperial City.Those kings who were very similar to Ciel and inherited his black hair, black eyes and unique temperament.They are all Ciel's children.
Those children that Ciel had been deliberately avoiding.
"Lord Charles, is it because of your descendants?"
"…………Yes."
His children were not the offspring of normal gestation, but a group of pathetic synthetic humans.
Just like his wife Katrin and father-in-law Monroe.
------------------*****------------------
After Munro took it upon himself to declare in public that "Ciel is about to marry Catalin" and vouched for Charles with his personal reputation, the jury finally made a verdict in favor of Lovna.
But Ciel was really confused.
As soon as the public trial was announced to be over, he immediately caught up with Monroe.
"Lord Monroe, why? Why did I suddenly become Katrin's fiancé?"
"Once you get involved with your student Lovna, the public trial will move in a direction that is unfavorable to you. The Mercy Bishop will definitely seize on your personal relationship and constantly attack you personally. You will also Lose the trust of the jurors. Only in this way can I divert the attention of the jurors and pick you out."
He said sincerely: "Furthermore, by binding us together through Katrin, I can vouch for you. Only then will the jury trust you and believe that we can truly destroy that demon."
"But the problem is that this is false. Katrin and I have no engagement at all. She..."
"False can become true. It would be good for us all if you could marry Catlin." Monroe paused: "And this is not only my intention, but also the intention of Your Majesty. Charles, let you marry Carter." Lin, I not only hope you can take care of her, but she can also help you."
Only then did Charles remember that His Majesty had always been interested in bringing him and Katrin together.
"Help me? What do you mean?"
But Monroe didn't answer.
In the office, Saint Ann IV was already waiting for him.
Waiting together were a depressed Hilna and an uneasy Katrin.
"Teacher Charles..." Sirna became even more depressed after seeing him. She didn't want Charles to see her red eyes, so she lowered her head and bowed to Charles: "... I'll leave first, you and Your Majesty can chat slowly."
After saying that, she turned around and left the office as if running away.
On the other side, Katrin, who was wearing a formal dress, nervously grasped the hem of her skirt and looked at Ciel hesitantly.In the past, after meeting Charles, she would definitely come up to him and salute him generously and say hello to him.But today, the way she looked at Ciel was obviously a little wandering and shy.
Obviously, they already knew the results of the public trial and the bishop's plan to arrange an engagement between Charles and Catherine.That's why Katrin and Silna behaved so abnormally.
The atmosphere was also quite awkward.
"Your Majesty, why on earth? Why did you suddenly arrange for me to have Catherine as my fiancée?" Charles finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Even if you want to arrange a marriage for me, even if it is to help me win support in the public trial, you should have done it in advance Can you ask for my opinion?"
St. Ann IV wore a robe and sat tiredly on the throne: "It's not just to help you get rid of your sins, this is the best decision for you. Charles, I have to be this evil person and help you cut off your relationship with Hilna, And the relationship with that Lovna.
"Both of your students have an overly strong admiration for you, but unfortunately, their current identities are not meant to fall in love with you. If you don't make a decision, it will only become more chaotic in the future."
These words touched Charles' concerns. He calmed down a little, but he still said: "Even if the relationship between my two students is complicated, then why should Katrin be involved? She...I..."
After all, Katrin was standing here, and Ciel had some words that he shouldn't have said, and he finally kept them in his stomach.
"Katelin and you are the most suitable people for each other. You both need each other, Charles." St. Ann IV's tone was calm: "Moreover, you are not spreading lies, and you are going to crusade to help your Lovna atone for her sins." Is that the devil who is the culprit? In this case, you need Katrin even more."
Ciel: "What does conquering demons have to do with Katrin?"
Monroe interrupted and explained: "Ciel, after all, demons are creatures of the underworld. They are not knights that you can defeat with a little effort, nor stupid nobles with poor academic skills, nor civilians who can kill at will after wearing armor. Conventional swords Ordinary spells are ineffective against demons.
"Only specific high-level spells, specially-made magic weapons, or special warriors can cause harm to their bodies in the mortal world.
"For example, as a synthetic human, I have the soul of the underworld and the tempered flesh and blood, so I can destroy a large number of ordinary demons.
"But I will also feel embarrassed about this demon that can set off dozens of large-scale riots - its strength is extraordinary and extremely difficult to deal with. And you, because of your lack of talent, are unable to learn high-level spells or use Magical weapon. As you are now, you are looking for death.
"So, you need Katrin's help. You need to combine to gain power."
When the word union came up, Katrin closed her eyes and sighed softly.
"Come...together?"
At this time, Saint Ann IV stood up, walked around the desk, and stood in front of Charles.
Her expression was extremely solemn: "Char, in fact, I have already had a premonition when you first arrived in Glory City. Your and Katrin's personalities fit perfectly and tolerate each other. Relying on the picture books and fairy tales you created, Katrin finally Get out of the misery of pain and have a new life.
"She is also willing to accept you completely. In her mind, her consciousness has activated the power of the underworld based on your story, and created a world that is uniquely yours for you. The characters and stories you created are all It is formed around you.
"So, accept Katrin, and the curse she suffered will be transformed into your power. You will become a truly new human being."
This is the reason why Saint Ann IV has always paid close attention to Charles.
92. The awakening of the daughter of the underworld
Among the four main types of magic, apart from the annihilation spells, the most difficult one is the Nether spell.
The underworld, the underworld, is the space opened up by the great power of the Heavenly Father. It is opposite to the mortal world and symbolizes death and the end.
Here, the delusions and expectations of the deceased remain, mixed with the longings and desires of the world.
Here, thoughts surge in the chaotic ocean of consciousness, and the souls of the dead are rolled into pieces by the waves, merged into the abyss, and flow with the manic tide, never ending.
In the boundless wave of energy, the children of the Eternal Heavenly Father were conceived—the creatures of the underworld, including angels and demons.
These existences are closely related to human beings. In the ancient times, they once escaped from the underworld in large numbers and came to the human world. They gained strength by relying on the desires of the living, and gave the living more emotions and delusions, strengthening themselves in a continuous cycle. .
Because of their existence, demons once danced in the world of Arran, and the battle between angels and demons was in turmoil.If it had not been for the kindness of the Heavenly Father who expelled the demons back to the underworld and brought the angels to the Kingdom of God, then the human world would have been completely disintegrated in the battle between these creatures.
Nether spells are essentially magic that drives the creatures of the Nether World.
Summoning souls, inducing spirits, creating barriers... and even summoning demons can all be counted as Netherworld spells.
The Nether World is derived from human beings' fundamental fear of death and the end. Any Nether spell contains huge dangers, so it is regarded as a high-level spell.
As for Katrin, as a creation of the Eucharist Training Society and a descendant of Monroe, her soul is already marked with the underworld, and her thoughts are the bridge from the underworld to the human world.
When she is mentally weak, the power of the underworld can use her thoughts to penetrate the human world and reorganize into the appearance of Katrin's imagination.
Therefore, she can be counted as a part of the Nether World - a fragment of the Nether World with a human body and self-awareness.
Whether it is a monster in a nightmare or an elf in a sweet dream; whether it is what she loves or what she fears; whether it is understandable to ordinary people or indescribable... they can all appear in the world with the help of her.
Therefore, in her dreams, she can project the power of the netherworld around her to form a barrier, which can shape the characters in Ciel's fictional fairy tales one by one, and even give them wisdom.Let fictional fairy tales exist in reality with the help of her dreams.
However, only when she suffers the pain and torture of the curse can the power of the nether world invade the human world through her.
Therefore, it is difficult for her to control and utilize this power herself.
Therefore, we must give her emotions, give her wisdom, and make her yearn for, admire, and love her.
Let her shape her consciousness to fully cooperate with him, and let all the chaotic power of the Nether World become tangible and tangible existence.
Let her be willing to take the initiative to trigger the curse on her body for that person, take the initiative to let the power of the nether world possess her, and then entrust everything to him.
Only this person can replace Katrin and become the carrier of the power of the underworld in the human world.
"Master Charles, that's it. Grandma St. Ann told me..." Katrin looked at him seriously: "I know that I am not a normal human being, and I also know that you are in a lot of trouble now. You have to help those people." Miss Lovna has been framed, and she still has to deal with a demon...I can also be of use, I should be able to help you."
The so-called union refers not only to physical union, but also to spiritual union.
"I will activate the curse on my body, let the power of the underworld center on me, and create a dream realm. Lord Charles, you enter my dream alone, find me at the core of the dream, and then...then... …Combined, I can give you power.”
At this point, Katrin blushed.
She did not lower her head or look away, but still looked at Charles intently, trying to look very serious and calm - in fact, she was also a little shy and embarrassed.
But she was ready to wake up.
Her attitude and what the Pope said were difficult for Charles to accept.
Charles looked at the Pope: "Your Majesty, when did you start planning to do this?"
"From the beginning." St. Ann IV gave him a definite answer: "I need a strong warrior, a warrior who can protect the Holy See and guide the church to prosperity.
"But when the fairy tale you weaved came into my hands and touched Katrin's heart; when you arrived at Glory City with the extremely talented Sirna; when you defeated other powerful people in the Holy See's competition. At the time of the enemy... I became more and more certain that you are the right person for Katrin. The fate I felt also pointed to you.
"It was you who restored Katrin's sanity and gave her a new life. The Holy See needs people like you, Ciel. Katrin also needs you, so that her life can have value."
Charles: "Your Majesty, so before I brought Sirna to Glory City... it was already part of your arrangement? You were already planning to 'combine' me with her?"
"That's it."
"You raise and take care of Katrin just so that one day she can make sacrifices for people like me?"
"...There are reasons for this."
"So, in the past, you often asked me if I wanted to marry Catlin. Was it for this reason? You wanted me to combine with her and gain the power of the Netherworld to help you?"
"It is to help the Holy See." The Pope corrected: "For the glory of the Eternal Heavenly Father, and also to give the current loose and chaotic Holy See a new backbone. I originally planned to let you and Katrin slowly develop a relationship, but because of you I can only tell you in advance about the accident caused by that student Lovna."
"Then, if Katrin actively triggers the curse on her body, what will happen to her?"
"Katlin will be in pain, but she will bear it."
"I'm afraid it's not just pain, right? Is her life in danger?"
"..." The Pope did not answer.
Charles turned to look at Catlin's father: "Lord Monroe, have you always known about His Majesty's intentions?"
"Yes." Monroe nodded, unable to see his emotions: "Your Majesty is willing to help me take care of Catherine because of her value in this area. I have no objection to Your Majesty's plan. Can you and Catherine Together, it’s a good thing.”
"Then... Your Majesty, what do you think of me and Katrin?"
"I believe that you are a tool that can revitalize the divine authority and lead the church to prosperity."
The kind-hearted Pope said: "You are very important in the career that I aspire to achieve. If you can fall in love with each other and truly unite, that is the best result for me. Charles, You are a sincere and principled person, and you deserve to gain the power of the Netherworld. Your restraint can ensure that you are not eroded by the power, and you will become a sword master comparable to Munro, or even surpass him."
Charles: "Your Majesty, with all due respect - what is the difference between doing this and those members of the Eucharist Training Society who have been labeled as heretics? Aren't we performing blasphemous rituals and using forbidden spells to obtain the immortality of mortals?" Does it have the power it should have? Isn’t this act of taking advantage of others an evil act that violates the teachings?”
"Of course not. The purpose of the Holy See is to expel demons, to maintain order, and to carry out the will of Heavenly Father..." Your Majesty didn't care at all: "We are absolutely right."
Years later, whenever he thought of this moment, it was difficult for Charles to describe his feelings at that moment.
He once thought that St. Ann IV's attitude towards Catherine was that of a respectable elder who, out of pity and compassion, reached out and gave care and protection to the cursed child, leaving her in pain and tragedy in her life. I had happiness for a short time.
Although he also feels that the Pope cares and promotes him, it is definitely not for no reason, and he definitely needs to be repaid.But he is also willing to work for the Pope and help the Holy See do all kinds of hard work as a reward for her.For the sake of Sirna's future, and also to repay her kindness to the Pope.
