Chapter 40 40 A Sinful Woman

Chapter 40 -40- A Sinful Woman

The style of clothing can change a person's appearance.

Charlotte is at the right age, she developed late and looks young.

When she puts on children's clothes to act cute, she is an innocent, lovely and charming child.

When she puts on a mature evening dress, the childishness of the child is covered up, and the girlish feeling is directly enhanced.

Especially today, she deliberately asked the maid to put on a slightly mature makeup for her.

This is Charlotte's little thought.

In order to be cute and reduce others' vigilance, she would deliberately wear some clothes with a strong sense of youth to enhance her sense of love.

But this time at the dinner, she must let everyone know that the heir of the Castel family is not just a child.

She has passed her fifteenth birthday.

She is growing up and is ready to inherit the territory.

So, the effect came.

The moment Charlotte got off the carriage, the whole garden square was quiet.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her, and no matter men or women, it was hard for them to look away for a moment.

In the end, the well-trained stewards of the Duke's Mansion reacted the fastest. They came to their senses first, put on respectful and enthusiastic smiles in an instant, and quickly came to Charlotte.

However, someone was faster than them.

"Oh! It's Miss Charlotte! Miss Charlotte, you are here!"

A shrill and enthusiastic voice came over.

The fat noble Bruno dragged his flannel-like body and trotted to Charlotte, with a pair of small eyes smiling into slits.

Charlotte, who had made up for the information of the Duke's Mansion, already knew the other party's exact identity. He was a second-level steward of the Duke's Mansion of Boerde, and the title of court viscount.

The court title, in the Miria continent, specifically refers to those court nobles who have titles but no fiefs, and are often seen in the courts of duchies, kingdoms, grand duchies or empires.

"Good afternoon, Viscount Bruno."

Charlotte performed an elegant noble lady's salute.

She was already very skilled in this set of movements, so skilled that she felt sorry for herself.

Bruno seemed quite happy to be called by the girl.

He proudly raised his chin towards the other butlers who were not as fast as him, and then ordered the butler who followed:

"What are you still standing there for? Help Countess Castel to set up the carriage!"

The butlers quickly took action, busy around the Castel family's carriage, leaving the other nobles nearby aside, even though... Charlotte didn't need so many butlers.

Bruno enthusiastically took Charlotte to the Duke's Mansion.

The black cat Nice also jumped off the carriage, with its tail raised high, and followed with its head held high, with a proud face.

It was not until the girl's figure gradually disappeared that the other people in the garden square gradually reacted.

"Which noble lady is that? She's so beautiful..."

"Didn't you see it? The family emblem on the carriage is a black eagle."

"Castel? Hiss... Is it her? Is she really a bewitching succubus as the rumors say?"

"Tsk, have you ever seen a succubus walking in the sun? In my opinion, she must be a witch who knows black magic since she looks so beautiful!"

This is a conversation between civilians who are watching the fun.

Recently, rumors are rampant in Boulder City. They are the ones who are watching the fun and the ones who are making conspiracy theories.

There is no way around it. The public is most easily led astray by public opinion. They lack channels for real information and can only be led by the nobles who manipulate public opinion.

Information cocoons exist in every era.

However, the situation was different for the nobles:

"It's the one from Castel who's here."

"She's so beautiful, and her manners are very standard and elegant. She's worthy of being the heir of the Castel family."

"It's a pity that she's been surrounded by rumors recently. I guess she's having a headache."

"I wonder which family she'll choose as her marriage partner..."

"Yeah, I don't know who will be the lucky one. The Castel family's dowry is half of the duchy!"

These sanctimonious guys can tell clearly what's a rumor and what's the truth.

Those who can't tell the difference are not qualified to accept the invitation to the Duke's banquet.

While discussing, the nobles with slightly more power obviously quickened their pace and caught up with the girl's team.

If you look more carefully, you'll notice that, in addition to the head of the family, all the nobles who attended the banquet had young and handsome male family members.

Everyone's eyes followed the girl's movements, as if they were ready to approach and talk at any time, and the eye contact between them was even more explosive.

Add to that the nobles' unique gorgeous costumes and exaggerated shapes, making them look like a group of peacocks ready to duel at any time.

Charlotte also noticed it.

She even turned her head to look at them curiously and smiled politely.

As a result, just this casual glance and polite smile excited a large group of young nobles:

"She looked at me! She just looked at me!"

"No! She was looking at me! She was smiling at me!"

"She was obviously looking at me!"

"Asshole! She was looking at me!"

"Want to duel?!"

"Come on! Who's afraid of who!"

There was a lot of chaos.

Charlotte slowly retracted her gaze, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly, thinking to herself that she was really a sinful woman...

Of course, the above are those young nobles who are more impulsive, mostly from small and medium-sized families.

Several noble families who are also earls, "competitors for marriage" are much more elegant and gentlemanly.

They came to the girl inconspicuously, politely, casually raised topics, with elegant and charming smiles on their faces.

There are many faces that are much more handsome than those traffic stars in the previous life of Blue Star, enough to cause any girl to scream, making Charlotte envious and jealous.

But it must be said that these guys are really good at socializing.

Even if they know that they have bad intentions, their hearts are full of hostility towards their handsome faces like men, and the topics they throw out can often successfully arouse Charlotte's interest.

But unfortunately...

All their seductive eyes are thrown to the blind.

Charlotte is indeed very interested in the topics they talk about and the information they reveal about various nobles, but she has no feelings for them personally.

Not only that, seeing these people coming up to her in a reserved and elegant manner, showing themselves enthusiastically, thinking that their real purpose was to covet her body and her property, Charlotte even had the urge to knock them to the ground with a punch, and then step on their faces with her feet...

Oh, no.

I can't step on their faces myself.

Who knows if there are any XP weirdos among these hyenas in heat, for them, that may become a reward.

Charlotte is still quite confident in her beautiful legs and feet.

I should let Quasimodo step on them hard!

She thought to herself.

Of course, even if you can hear some intelligence, a group of flies flying around your ears for a long time is annoying enough.

After a long time, Charlotte was a little impatient.

However, someone was more anxious than her.

"Why are you all crowding over here? I'm going to take Miss Charlotte to meet the Duke. Do you want to follow me?!"

The fat butler Bruno spoke.

The young nobles were instantly scared and retreated one after another.

As one of the few 3rd-level Blazing Sun Transcendents in Bolde, the Duke's name is still very famous.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"Does the Duke... want to see me?"

"Yes, Miss Charlotte, the Duke is waiting for you in the study. He said that when you arrive, he will take you to see him first."

Bruno smiled flatteringly.

Charlotte nodded slightly, thinking about something, and then continued to smile reservedly and followed Bruno into the palace, with her heart raised to the 12th level of alert.

As a great noble, and with Bruno leading the way, Charlotte naturally exempted herself from the personal inspection at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

However, just as she was about to enter the gate of the inner palace, she heard someone calling her name from behind.

Looking back, the black cat Nice was lifted up by the back of the neck by the Star Knight guarding the gate of the mansion like a chicken, meowing and struggling, and looking at herself with a pitiful expression.

Next to him, Quasimodo was standing there, looking a little bewildered...

"According to the Duke's Mansion's rules, pets...are not allowed to enter!"

The Star Knight looked at the old servant with a serious face.

Charlotte:...
