Carlotta's Daily Report-Chapter 88: Seer Magic Path

[ 1: Achilles Carlisle still harbored deep resentment over the death of his daughter. Coincidentally, the Seer Mage Selene Vire passed through the imperial capital, Kestholm.

Achilles sought her out, requesting her help in uncovering the murderer of his daughter. After promising to personally serve as her guard in exploring a certain ruin, Selene reconstructed the events of Soren’s death.

The true culprit was... Carlotta White! Achilles could hardly believe the result, but he trusted the answer provided by the Seer Magic Path. Although he couldn’t personally seek revenge on Carlotta due to his agreement with Selene, he arranged for a team from the Carlisle family, led by his nephew Alistair Carlisle, to execute Carlotta. Alistair had vowed to return with Carlotta’s head.]

[ 2: Seer Magic Path was a path Selene had acquired from Sky Island. In the entire continent, Selene was the only known individual to master the Seer Magic Path. It was said that when cultivated to a high level, this magic could foresee the future. Although Selene had not yet reached such a level, she could discern events that had already occurred in the past.]

[ 3: The news of the true culprit behind Soren’s death, as predicted by Selene, quickly spread throughout the imperial capital. Upon learning of the news, Emperor Alex Leicester thoughtfully established an investigation team to assist the Carlisle family in dealing with Carlotta White. He also permitted the investigation team and the Carlisle family to join the million-strong army in a surprise attack on the Velmoria Empire, teleporting together to the Francis front.]

[ 4:When Leonard Fenwicks learned that Soren had been killed by Carlotta, he was greatly surprised. Worried about Carlotta being with his daughter Amelia, he regretted that he had been appointed by the emperor to handle other matters and could only send his subordinates to Wales Castle.]

A bolt from the blue!

One piece of information after another was nothing short of a bolt from the blue for Carlotta. She never imagined that her assassination of Soren would be exposed under such circumstances.

Knowing past events through the Seer Magic Path? How could there be such an unfair magic path?

After assassinating Soren, Carlotta had once been concerned, wondering if she had missed any details during the process. But now it seems that no matter how well she had handled the details, it was useless. The Seer Magic Path could directly reveal past events. Once something had happened, how could it be concealed?

Resentment, anger, vexation... all sorts of negative emotions surged within Carlotta at this moment.

She had indeed killed Soren, but she felt no regret and did not believe she had done wrong. Such a person deserves to die; killing her was justified.

But why did it seem from all the intelligence that the empire was convinced she was in the wrong? No reasons? No logic?

Although the emperor had organized an investigation team, Carlotta could see at a glance that this so-called investigation team was not there to investigate anything but to kill her. Because this investigation team was merely there to assist the Carlisle family team, it was just an assistant.

Would the Carlisle family team view her case impartially? The answer was obvious. freёweɓnovel_com

These people were just here to kill her.

In fact, they had already hitched a ride, arriving at the Francis front through teleportation, and might have already entered Wales Castle, heading towards her.

An unprecedented sense of horror and crisis instantly enveloped Carlotta, making her feel cold all over and her limbs stiff.

"What’s wrong, Carlotta?"

Amelia’s voice came from the side.

The Moonlight was just ahead; they had arrived at the port.

Amelia was about to board the Moonlight when she turned and saw that Carlotta seemed off, which puzzled her.

Hearing Amelia’s voice, Carlotta turned to look.

Seeing the silver-haired girl before her, Carlotta’s pounding heart finally stabilized a bit, and the twisted world seemed to return to normal.

She looked deeply at Amelia, as if making some decision, and said, "Amelia, I’ve hidden something from you."

Amelia was startled, "What is it... uh, is this the time to talk about it?"

She was just about to deploy troops to coordinate with the empire’s million-strong army in a surprise attack on the Velmoria Empire.

Carlotta spoke frankly, "Soren Carlisle, I killed her."

Amelia’s expression changed drastically.

She instinctively looked around, and seeing no one nearby, quickly pulled Carlotta onto the Moonlight.

Then she asked, "Carlotta, what’s going on?"

She truly hadn’t expected that Soren had died at Carlotta’s hands, but since Carlotta had said so, it must be true.

At the same time, she didn’t quite understand why Carlotta was bringing this up now; she had a vague sense of unease in her heart.

Carlotta didn’t hide anything, briefly recounting the assassination of Soren, mainly mentioning that Soren had ordered her assassination through Sunset Rose, and she had chosen to retaliate.

If someone wanted to kill her, it was only natural for her to fight back.

However, this naturalness was only natural in Carlotta’s eyes. In the eyes of the empire’s nobility, daring to attack a noble was a heinous crime.

"So that’s how it was..."

Amelia’s thoughts were momentarily in disarray, unsure how to handle this situation.

She pondered for a moment, about to say something, but suddenly seemed to feel something and sharply looked towards the port.

At that moment, a group of very distinctive people arrived at the port.

This group... no, it should be said, two groups.

One group wore uniforms, seemingly law enforcers, but their attire clearly marked them as law enforcers from the imperial capital, Kestholm.

The other group had no uniform attire but were dressed in luxurious, noble fashion, including some people Amelia found familiar. She immediately knew these were nobles.

The two groups rode high on their horses, advancing together, and in no time were beneath the Moonlight.

"Amelia, long time no see."

A leading young man looked up and spoke unhurriedly.

Alistair Carlisle!

Amelia recognized him and asked sternly, "Alistair, what brings you here?"

Alistair said indifferently, "I’m here under orders to arrest the murderer of my cousin Soren, Carlotta White, who’s right beside you. Hand her over."

Amelia’s expression changed as she looked at Carlotta, then at Alistair and the others.

Had Carlotta sensed that the truth was out, which was why she told her all this?

How should this matter be handled?

What can be done about it?

Amelia’s heart was in turmoil, her expression tense.

"You said she killed Soren? Do you have any evidence?" Amelia asked.

"Evidence? This is the result predicted by a Seer Mage. Don’t you believe in the Seer Magic Path?" Alistair said indifferently.

Seer Magic Path?

Amelia was stunned. She had heard of this magic, and its practitioner, Selene Vire, was a very famous figure. This person was passionate about exploring various ruins, often traveling around the world, hard to trace. Why did she come to the imperial capital, Kestholm?

If this Selene Vire confirmed that the murderer was Carlotta, then there was no room for negotiation.

Amelia couldn’t help but glance worriedly at Carlotta, whose face was gloomy.

At this moment, another peacekeeper beside Alistair spoke up, "Miss Fenwick, this is a murderer who dares to assassinate nobles, you must be careful. Here, I also have a decree from His Majesty. Upon seeing Carlotta White, she can be executed on the spot, no need for arrest."

This was the leader of the investigation team, Grand Locke!

Grand held a document in his hand, which was the emperor’s decree.

Carlotta took a deep breath.

Things had come to this point, leaving her momentarily unsure of what to do, feeling very troubled.

This could be said to be a sudden situation. The Seer Mage, Selene Vire, had just arrived in the imperial capital when she was found by Achilles and they reached a cooperation.

Then, on the same day, they caught a ride to the Francis front line. This process didn’t take much time, which left Carlotta with no time to prepare.

This was a huge crisis formed by a series of coincidences.

If Selene had arrived in the imperial capital a day earlier, the information could have appeared a day earlier. If it was a day later, she wouldn’t have caught the ride.

Even if the negotiation between Achilles and Selene had been a bit less smooth, they might not have caught the ride.

Even if the empire hadn’t planned a surprise attack today, the Carlisle family wouldn’t have been able to arrive so promptly.

All of this stemmed from various coincidences, plunging Carlotta into a huge crisis.

The people from the Carlisle family and the investigation team, although each was unfamiliar to her, since they were ordered to deal with her, their ranks were definitely not low, and she couldn’t handle them.

At this moment, Alistair’s voice came again: "Amelia, I heard you have a good relationship with Carlotta White. You wouldn’t be unable to take action against her, or even hinder us, would you?"

Grand also said, "Viscount Carlisle and His Majesty are both paying attention to this matter."

Amelia and Carlotta’s good relationship was no secret. In the eyes of many, the two were even dating, which was why Alistair and the others didn’t take direct action upon arrival.

Under the gaze of many, Amelia spoke, "As a citizen of the empire, I naturally prioritize the empire’s orders. Since this is His Majesty’s decree, I will naturally comply."

Hearing this, Alistair and Grand both smiled.

Amelia looked at Carlotta.

Looking into those blue eyes, Carlotta felt no tension at all. Even though Amelia had said that, she still instinctively felt that Amelia wouldn’t take action against her.

Suddenly, Amelia made her move, a sword appearing in her hand, thrusting towards Carlotta.

Carlotta immediately pulled out the Rose Cross, colliding with Amelia’s sword, the crisp sound echoing far across the deck.

"Retreat!" Amelia whispered.

Carlotta understood, maintaining the clash while quickly retreating, disappearing into the cabin in an instant.

Seeing this, Alistair and the others rushed towards the deck.

As soon as they entered the cabin, Amelia stopped her attack, casually throwing her sword to the ground, then throwing herself into Carlotta’s arms.

Carlotta felt a fragrant breeze, and Amelia’s silvery-white hair appeared before her eyes, the other party turning her back to her.

Then she noticed Amelia raising her hand, placing the Rose Cross against her own neck.

"Take me as a hostage, force everyone to retreat, then sail away, head towards the deep sea," Amelia said quickly.

Carlotta was stunned.

She truly hadn’t expected Amelia to help her in this way, but was using Amelia as a hostage really feasible?

Carlotta’s thoughts were in disarray, until the sound of footsteps made her look towards the cabin door.

Alistair and Grand had just arrived.

When they saw the scene of Amelia being held hostage by Carlotta, they were both stunned, showing expressions of surprise.

Amelia was being held hostage by Carlotta?

"All of you, step back, or don’t blame me for being impolite," Carlotta said sternly.

She gripped the Rose Cross tightly, coldly watching the arriving people.

Even though she didn’t know if Amelia’s method would be effective, at this moment, she had to use it.

Grand’s expression immediately became serious, "Carlotta White, don’t act recklessly."

Carlotta said, "You step back, and I won’t act recklessly."

Grand frowned, about to say something more, but Alistair interjected, "Don’t be fooled by them, Grand. I don’t believe Amelia would be held hostage by Carlotta White."

His eyes were full of suspicion, staring at the two.

"Amelia, what do you mean by this?" Alistair asked again.

Amelia said with a stern face, "This is a question I should be asking. I’m being held hostage, and instead of thinking about saving me, you’re questioning what I mean?"

"How could she possibly hold you hostage?"

"Because she has control of this ship, it’s an alchemy ship."

Amelia knew that in a hurry, she couldn’t create a flawless situation to help Carlotta escape, but she didn’t need a perfect excuse, just something that could barely pass.

Because... She was also a noble lady!

Carlotta also decisively used the authority of the Moonlight, immediately activating the immobilization effect on Alistair and everyone else.

This caused a slight change in the expressions of Alistair and the others, but each of them had considerable strength, circulating their magic to break free from the immobilization.

"Amelia, why would you give her control of this ship, you..." Alistair now believed Carlotta could control the alchemy ship, his expression not looking good.

Regardless of whether Amelia had intentionally helped Carlotta, with control of an alchemy ship, Carlotta wasn’t easy to deal with.

Julia, Laurie, and Lina also landed at this moment.

"All of you, retreat, everyone step back, don’t let her harm our lady."

"That’s right, if our lady gets hurt, you won’t escape responsibility either."

"Hurry and retreat."

The three exchanged glances with Amelia, very understandingly putting on a nervous expression, pretending to be worried about their lady getting hurt.
