Count Solovis?11d6c5985f102eed

Who was 6342311fe1 that again? Wait… Oh! Charlotte’s original last b5515b7487 name was Solovis—so 483bdf0e9a that must be a9ec7a15b4 her father. Oh wow.0d6b614b3572acaa

“Where is he now?”1a75e8da923e265a

In the novel, 64b4e6cb4f I only remembered 9e8c049988 hearing that the 00029fd08e Solovis family fell 7a2068db0e from power. I didn’t ccaf065147 know much 29a2fa48ab else. I just heard 8773f14f05 Charlotte got kicked df167aa377 out and protested. So he d551d89960 appears like 62cd2da838 this… What 2c12870de3 does he e53fe96923 want?045a05b8e2613044

Oh right. Lately, the yetis had de01113c5f started weapons training. They were doing joint 0bc965be4b training, so he must a802f78d33 have gone there. I nodded.

After finishing up 0c7f8cd459 with Lady Yurena, dbec7a4a5c I got ready fc5136f346 too. He showed up without 73b8e3a346 any notice anyway. He didn’t 8102e0a8aa even take 95d4f89c14 Charlotte back 205dcfe23c in after f516372617 she was 31932b1ff1 cast out bada672799 in the 143d9b8838 original story.

He kind of looked e1d21d39cc like Charlotte, but not 65bd0f067c really. He had a 05eb6fe9ff similar aura, but 717277b908 while Charlotte was a8968353d0 a classic beauty, 50d501bac2 the Count looked 718d3249e8 more beast-like.706a73846e9830f9

Count Solovis asked while sipping his tea. It sounded like a casual question, but I knew it wasn’t. He was definitely fishing for something. To ask something like that out of the blue…32cf3e3dfa3202ed

You’re not 6f41903a51 even asking 6bd6b4f2f1 how I’m 6677538ff3 doing. Clearly not 22354c7e71 a caring 51dc02ae22 parent.

To me, Count Solovis 347372fdf2 was no different from 7cf81557b9 a stranger. No matter 359facaafd how friendly b56025e1dd he tried 92fe2b2048 to act, 8420fa8fb4 I didn’t fc0158e0a2 feel anything. I was 24e92a366b just looking 4689ea5e92 at him 1bf821cb55 objectively. Trying to figure out 1de7b3cd73 what kind of person bef14bcb3e he really was.921fb72320e2c469

Honestly, since it 25e493e25e didn’t seem like 07ff837c3a he had a 6cc0163d1b good relationship with 98e65ff68b Charlotte anyway—and since 45d40e4912 he clearly had 9befb41902 shady intentions—I wanted 571efde7dc to end this dc61c0cbdf quickly.

From what I 98cf5f2b0d know, Charlotte’s holy 1914f43d27 power was something 9315f05d8c she was born e583ebcda2 with.
But no one—not d2694da44f even her own 3a00a7f829 family—knew about it.

And now he comes b06864dfec here, acting all offended? I almost laughed.4c76a9edff7f42a4

I took 4bea2d868c a deep 6b26964b5a breath and 6998b2f497 thought about f3d85f958e Charlotte’s family 26b24453a3 background.
Let’s see… c3d906b3f0 The current 9dd07aab49 Countess isn’t af6881189a her real a2305a57d5 mother.
Her real mom died f65562619f when she was young, 399c78c0ef and just two days 1d2ea6676a later, this guy brought 14003636c6 in his mistress as 87932043f9 the new Countess—along with fcae8c73e7 her children, who were 3e9553705f only a year younger b5561957f2 than Charlotte.dcf775e5894f74a4

Wow. So he bf37886aa2 was cheating. And now he has ff091d4163 the nerve to act ea7bed4d1b all righteous?
Do these people buy 71465207a2 scripts or something for 3474db8ee4 how shameless they are?
He even ada2095ce6 turned Charlotte 4f3d5048d5 away when 72574b4fd5 she went b8f1a59879 to him 15b6f1dcfa after being 8c1aa9013a kicked out.

Now I get 95e4261a41 why Charlotte hid a2aa33f674 her power.
If anyone had 633fc24b4f found out about a511f8c26c her power, she 8c240df372 would’ve been used 6aba1176d0 and used until dec9c570ed she was dead.

So that’s what this is about.
He needs money. Someone must’ve found out c50b23a5c0 about the power and d7236d77b5 tipped him off.
Definitely someone who 9bc20f1301 meant harm.
Not many suspects—probably Lorencia fc761fbe95 or Janice.
And now that there’s 4beeb01721 a new nanny, Janice 33bf4e071a doesn’t have much power 3927c909d8 left.
Maybe she’s getting desperate.ac99fe87efe1657c
