"No!!"
Viscount Scott, lying on the bed, suddenly let out a wail, his facial features contorted in pain, an aura of sorrow and despair rising within him.
Charlotte swallowed.
"—What did you do to him?"
"It's nothing. It just let him see his wife with Mr. Mitsurugi Hibiki."
"Are you a demon!?"
Lolisa seemed completely oblivious to the terrible things she had done.
This is revenge, isn't it?
Is it revenge for Mikage Hibiki looking down on him during the day?
Charlotte couldn't help but feel sorry for Viscount Scott. He knew just how realistic the dreams created by the nightmares were. For someone as pure-hearted as him to see his wife with someone else was more than just torture.
and also.
Viscount Scott was wailing so pitifully, but Mrs. Scott, lying beside him, was sleeping like a log, completely unaware. The power of the nightmare was incredible!
If we don't have any defensive measures in place beforehand, we might really be helpless against them.
Lolisa smiled.
"The dream will last for about half an hour. Mr. Charlotte, you can do whatever you want during this time. Well then, my work is finished, I'll take my leave now."
"oh oh----"
The little dream demon quietly departed, concealing its merits and fame.
Charlotte then carried the frail Viscount Scott to the church in the corner of the courtyard, tossed him onto the chair at the front, and then made a gesture as if praying to a statue of a goddess.
About half an hour.
"Hmm."
Viscount Scott slowly opened his eyes, looking around blankly, as if he had not yet woken up from a nightmare.
"Finally awake?"
"
"—Mr. Charlotte?"
Viscount Scott's expression changed slightly when he saw the high priest praying to the statue of the goddess with his back to him, but he quickly calmed down.
"Mr. Charlotte is indeed a devout believer. My wife often comes to pray at night. I never expected," "I never expected you to build a secret room here."
Then, to his incredulous astonishment, Charlotte placed his hand on the steps beneath the statue of Eris, and the floor sprang open, revealing a secret passage before them.
"----ha?"
Viscount Scott collapsed to the ground, utterly bewildered that the secret would be exposed so readily. His mind was a complete blank; he couldn't tell if this was reality or a dream.
He couldn't tell the difference; he really couldn't tell the difference.
"Let's go, Viscount Scott, let's go down together."
Charlotte gave him no chance to think or explain, forcibly supporting the weakened Viscount Scott and leading him down the steps to the basement.
Youyou and Yujian Xiangye are waiting here.
"Mr. Charlotte!" x2
The two visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him appear, but then looked at Viscount Scott, who was being supported and looked utterly dejected, with obvious confusion.
Upon seeing Mikami Hibiki, Scott charged forward like a madman.
"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!!!"
"Wait, wait, why!?"
Mikami Hibiki instinctively pressed down on Viscount Scott's head, preventing the small-armed, wielding-legged Count Scott from touching her, leaving him only able to wildly flail his fists, while simultaneously glancing at Charlotte.
"What's going on?"
"----I have no idea."
Charlotte awkwardly turned her head away, unable to bring herself to mention how the little dream demon had damaged his reputation. Of course, such a trivial matter was unimportant to them at the moment.
"Enough, Viscount Scott!" Charlotte snapped. "Don't you have anything to say after seeing all this?!"
He grabbed the thin Viscount Scott by the collar and looked at the golden hill in the corner of the secret room, causing Viscount Scott to flinch uncomfortably.
"Mr. Charlotte—who is this? Who put this in our basement? Who is deliberately trying to harm us?"
"So you admit this is your secret room!"
Charlotte forcefully interrupted him.
There was absolutely no room for explanation, after all, there was still a portrait of Mrs. Scott here.
Viscount Scott soon burst into tears, sobbing softly, "I haven't spent a single penny, I dare not—there are still so many refugees in the territory who have no food or clothing—"
"When you were making tons of money, why didn't you think about the refugees in your territory! Now you suddenly remember them!?"
Charlotte's voice was particularly shrill.
Viscount Scott was even more heartbroken and could only apologize repeatedly.
However, all of this was just a ruse. He still hadn't found any evidence of Viscount Scott's embezzlement. Whether it was the little dream demon's entry into his dreams or the underground chamber, it was all to prevent him from thinking. The next step was the crucial guidance. Just as Charlotte was thinking this, unexpectedly—
"Mr. Charlotte, we found this behind the portrait in the secret room."
"—What is this?"
"Account book".
Viscount Scott visibly trembled upon hearing this.
"Ledger?"
Charlotte was also taken aback.
They hadn't searched the secret chamber thoroughly last time because of the magic's duration, and they were surprised to find an account book there. Shouldn't something like an account book be hidden more discreetly?
I opened it and took a look.
The records contained numerous transactions, not only involving enormous sums, but more importantly, "You even made deals with the Demon King's army!?"
Charlotte opened her eyes wide.
Was it his youth, or Viscount Scott's exceptional concealment? He was completely oblivious to this. If he had known the other party was making a deal with the Demon King's army, wouldn't he have been able to exchange information with the Dream Demon Sister much faster?
—No, that's not it!
"You dare to lie to me!"
"Calm down, calm down, Mr. Charlotte!"
Youyou seemed to have guessed this would happen, and she hugged the impulsive Xia Luo tightly.
Viscount Scott knew the evidence was irrefutable and there was no room for argument, but he shouted unwillingly, "I only made a small mistake, it's only human nature!"
"A transaction volume of 7500 million is considered a minor mistake? Then what constitutes a major mistake?"
"If you get caught, it's a big mistake."
The three were completely speechless, after all, they were adventurers, not nobles, and were completely unfamiliar with these things.
Viscount Scott suddenly stopped panicking, as if someone had told him what to do if he were discovered. Instead, he tried to bribe him, saying, "Let me go, and all the money in the secret room is yours."
"Foolish! Even if I kill you, you'll still be mine!"
"—Hmm!?"
The other three people in the secret room all looked at Charlotte.
"Ahem." He coughed awkwardly. "I mean—I'm a devout follower of Eris, how could I possibly be bribed by you? Not to mention you even built a secret chamber in the church and placed the entrance under the statue of the goddess!"
"I repent! So please forgive my sins!"
"It's one thing for me to forgive you as a goddess; my job is to get you to see her."
The kingdom's nobles have great privileges and are generally pardoned unless they commit any major offenses. However, the crime of colluding with the Demon King's army to overthrow the kingdom is punishable even by royalty.
"Sword Master, take him to see Claire. And bring this along too."
Charlotte tossed the ledger over.
"Yes. Please be honest, I don't want you to suffer."
Yu Jianxiangye nodded, first binding Scott, then carrying him on his shoulder and walking towards the palace—but he didn't know why Viscount Scott was glaring at him with gritted teeth. Had he done something to offend him?
Charlotte sighed deeply.
Viscount Scott is undoubtedly a warrior of pure love, but unfortunately, he colluded with the Demon King's army and betrayed the kingdom's interests, making him a complete villain. Even if he pleaded for her, Claire probably wouldn't budge.
----etc.
Claire said she was tasked with finding evidence that Viscount Scott bought the artifact. How did she find evidence that he was colluding with the Demon King's army?
Just then, Youyou came over carrying a box and said, "Mr. Charlotte, we also found this."
"What is it?"
"A kingdom-level magical artifact."
"A divine artifact?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "Seriously, if that sword-wielding guy knew about it, why didn't he bring it along?"
He opened the box while complaining.
He really just wanted to see what kind of magical artifact it was, but he never expected... "Don't open it, Mr. Charlotte!"
"—What?"
Suddenly, a dark shadow pounced on him, tightly enveloping Charlotte's head, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Charlotte instinctively started tearing at it. He could feel that it was fabric, of very good quality and incredibly resilient. Even though he was pulling so hard, he just couldn't tear it off.
"Wow!"
"Don't panic, Mr. Charlotte, I'm here to help!"
Youyou hurriedly stepped forward to help him pull the black cloth off, and it took the two of them a lot of effort to finally remove it.
"Whoosh!"
Charlotte, having regained her sight, looked at the object in front of her: a piece of cloth, or rather, a cloak. It looked somewhat ordinary, but what was strange was that it stood on two horns, while the other two horns were curled into a ball, posing in a manner that resembled that of a boxer.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Charlotte blurted it out.
As if it understood, the cloak billowed rapidly after a brief pause, radiating obvious anger, and then pounced on Charlotte again, binding him tightly.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!?
Before he could react, the cloak suddenly tightened, and Charlotte let out a scream.
"It hurts so much! It hurts so much!!"
Mr. Charlotte
It seems his mission is not over yet.
