Vitalis, who had been lying on the piano, slowly opened her eyes. She sat up straight, and the blanket on her body slid down.
She turned to look in the direction of the maid, but found that a red-haired young girl was already standing behind the maid, and the maid seemed completely unaware of this.
“Your Highness Vita, are you awake?”
The maid took two steps forward, picked up the blanket, and asked, “Would you like to return to your room to rest?”
“It’s alright. You may leave first. Let me be alone for a moment.”
Vitalis waved her hand.
But just as the maid walked out of the room, Vitalis’s ears twitched slightly. She seemed to have heard something.
“Forte is looking for you again.”
Vitalis quickly flipped open the piano lid and began to play rapidly. She turned to look in Ciel’s direction and said, “I will affect his perception here, but he will definitely come over and ask me what happened… You must leave quickly!”
“If all else fails, tie up Windsor and bring her along… He will definitely come if he knows Windsor has been taken.”
Kidnap Windsor… This would indeed provoke Forte’s anger.
Isn’t this openly fighting Forte?
If she lost, she would definitely be completely confined, becoming a puppet for life, with no hope of ever turning things around.
Seeing Vitalis’s severe hesitation, Ciel continued in Vitalis’s ear, “As long as Forte is killed and time goes back again, he will forget all of this. He won’t remember anything you did…”
“Even if he mentions it with some memory, you just need to say it’s something that didn’t happen…”
“I need to lure him away, get his Spiritual Notes, and find his weakness.”
“Let’s gamble, Princess Vitalis…”
The pink halo in Ciel’s pupils flickered. This time, she directly used the ability of the “Subverter”… Coupled with 【Art of Conversation】, Vitalis’s previously hesitant heart was gradually firming up.
“Okay, I will cooperate with you.”
And the next moment, Ciel’s figure disappeared from the spot, completely concealing her tracks.
Holy Church District. Ciel and Lucy walked quickly through the shacks. Soon, they stopped in front of a dilapidated shack.
Lucy, smelling of alcohol, hadn’t finished speaking when she saw Ciel knock on the shack door with a certain rhythm.
An old man opened the door. Upon seeing Lucy, he didn’t notice anything unusual and directly opened the door, letting them in.
Seeing Ciel’s familiar manner, Lucy shivered slightly.
How did she know about her underground hiding place…? As expected of a “Subverter.” How much more does she know?
Ciel quickly walked downstairs and went directly to the underground room where Adele and Amy were staying. She opened the door, walked around Amy, who was lying on the ground, and directly picked up the research notes placed on Adele’s desk.
In case the assassination failed, she had to keep this notebook with her. She could exchange it after she left.
After putting away the research notes, Amy and Adele were also awakened by the sound. At this moment, they were both looking at Ciel in confusion.
Ciel stepped back to the doorway and looked at Lucy, who had followed her. She said, “Now, take Adele to find Avena, and then take the two of them out of the city to the East District, and stay at the Hamme Moor Heights outside. Wait for my next command.”
“Tell Avena this is very important. Tell her she must come with you. Make her trust me.”
“Now, take them and go.”
“Amy, you come with me.”
After instructing Lucy, Ciel left the room. She quickly opened the secret door and pulled Amy, who was still half-asleep, to the sewer. She walked quickly along the stone path directly towards the underground hiding place of the Divine Advent Church.
At this hour, Tara and the others were probably still holding their prison break strategy meeting. Ciel needed to borrow the power of the Divine Advent Church.
Not to make them fight Tier 3 directly…
This time, Ciel still planned to perform a sacrifice.
The 【Spiritual Summoning】 skill was gone, but it didn’t mean Ciel couldn’t perform a summoning.
In the beginning, Ciel, who was still a “Instigator,” had depicted countless different summoning arrays in the simulation.
【Spiritual Summoning】 would automatically draw precise blood arrays based on different sacrifices, corresponding to different spiritual beings in the Other Side.
And the blood array from before the rewind was already firmly imprinted in Ciel’s mind.
As long as the blood array completely matched and the sacrifice completely matched, Ciel could replicate the summoning again… However, this time, she might not be able to summon half of the Grim Worm’s heart… And she couldn’t be the one performing the summoning. She couldn’t be affected by the Other Side again.
To replicate the previous summoning, Tier 4 Eleanor had to be present. Tricking one Eleanor was not difficult for Ciel, so she brought Amy to ensure the deception was absolutely swift.
The divine servant behind Amy would definitely give Eleanor a reason to believe that the sacrifice was real.
Ciel directly pushed open the secret door to the Divine Advent Church hiding place. This action caused many of the followers inside to stand up, looking at Ciel at the door, seemingly thinking they had been discovered.
Only Tara looked at Ciel at the door with some surprise, rubbing her eyes, as if she couldn’t quite believe it.
The second-round Ciel didn’t want to waste any more words and said directly,
“There’s something that needs to be done.”
