[Horse] "Hieeeegh!"
At the sight of the horse galloping like mad, the coachman and horses pulling the Temple carriage hurriedly backed away.
[Coachman] "W-What is that!"
[Priest] "D-Dodge! If we get hit, we're dead!"
Due to the commotion, even the High Priests and the Pope had no choice but to evacuate noisily.
Thanks to that, a path opened up in front of Odette for a moment.
[Horse] "Hieeeegh!"
Into that open space, the horse that had wreaked havoc on the road returned in an instant and stopped.
The person riding the horse was someone she knew all too well.
[Odette] "Karl?"
[Karl] "Master, get on."
It was him, riding a black horse as pitch-black as his own hair.
Flustered by the unexpected situation, she merely looked up at him blankly. Then, he extended his long arm, snatched her waist, and pulled her onto the horse.
[Karl] "Hiyah!"
And he began to speed up and run fast. Held as if trapped in his large embrace, she fell into confusion.
Why did he disobey my order on his own?
She had ordered him to guard her from a distance but not to intervene in her affairs or come close without permission. To cover her without being noticed by others.
Openly carrying a slave around while trying to build support among the capital's citizens seemed like it would only backfire.
Did he disobey my order again?
The anxiety that perhaps he was defying her again, as before. And exactly that amount of displeasure brushed past Odette.
However... at least for now, she didn't want to scold him for disobeying. Because thanks to him getting her out of here, she could breathe, even if only for a moment.
Karl's embrace was also better than the Transcendents, who endlessly reminded her of the damned fact that she was a Purifier.
[Odette] "Not the Count's estate, take me to a place with few people, Karl."
Therefore, she issued the command in an exhausted voice and leaned against his chest.
[Karl] "Yes, Master."
He tensed his arm muscles further and kicked the horse's flank immediately.
[Pope] "Slave! Stop the horse at once! I am the head of the solemn Temple. Do you not hear my command!"
The Pope issued a command in a dignified voice, but given Karl's personality, there was no way he would even listen to it.
[Karl] "Hiyah!"
Rather, he only hugged her deeper into his embrace so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable at the horse's fast speed.
Odette turned her head on the fast-running horse and looked back.
Fortunately, the other male leads didn't chase her. They merely glared at their receding figures with eyes sunk in a silence whose depth couldn't be fathomed.
A deserted forest path.
Neither that damned scent nor light leaked from her body anymore.
Once the Transcendents, priests, and crowds all disappeared from her view, reason slowly returned.
As soon as she regained her composure, the first thing she did was check the dagger in her inventory.
[The scheduled use date of Invisible Sincerity (Dagger) has changed.]
[Invisible Sincerity (Dagger)]
[Dagger to cut out the invisible in ten days.]
As expected. The remaining days have changed.
The number that had been over a month left had changed to ten days in an instant. It meant Charlotte's appearance date had been moved up.
She could be certain.
My awakening as a Purifier made Charlotte move more busily.
She knew Han Songyi's personality very well.
[Han Songyi] "What are you doing, tiresome Suwan unnie?"
There was always a conspiracy aimed at her in Han Songyi's tone like that.
And the reason she suddenly changed her appearance plan must be because she is extremely anxious.
Why did the fact that I awakened make you this anxious, Songyi?
Why was your purification power red, unlike mine?
Did you possess a body, or did you reincarnate?
Was Charlotte from the past life also you?
There were many questions she wanted to ask Charlotte, but in fact, none of these questions mattered.
The fact that Charlotte is Han Songyi, the fact that I awakened as a Purifier.
It only mattered that the situation had long since slipped out of her control with just these two facts.
There is only one way to fight and win against Han Songyi.
To strike the back of her head hard at an unexpected moment.
It's a relief in the midst of misfortune that I obtained the Shop function.
Because the Shop had an item perfectly suited for her plan. A move that could overturn any disadvantageous situation.
Status Window. Open the Shop.
[Activating 'Shop Function'...]
[Customizable...]
[1,000,000 Atasha]
Fortunately, the Shop was selling the item she hoped for.
When she was playing The Only Savior, she was dumbfounded, thinking, 'Why sell something like this?' But now, it was the best move to screw over Han Songyi.
Purchase.
The moment she confirmed the item was placed in her inventory, Karl's low voice was heard.
[Karl] "Where shall we go, Master?"
Indeed. Where should we go?
She fell into thought. Ten days was by no means a long period.
Since I awakened so loudly, the fact that I am a real Purifier will soon reach the Count's ears, too.
Then he will notice the fact that she acted alone without surveillance, and the fact that she awakened as a real Purifier.
It's a waste of time to go back to the Count's estate, where he will already be extremely wary of me.
Therefore, it was better to create a stage than to return to the Count's estate. A stage to strike the back of Charlotte's head, who would appear in ten days.
Odette, having contemplated where it would be good, commanded him.
[Odette] "Let's leave the capital first, Karl. We should go to Meursault Beach."
[Karl] "Yes, Master."
He silently followed her command without any question.
⌈Odette caused a Miracle of the Purifier.⌋
Until the news of Odette's awakening was first delivered as an extra edition, the Count didn't believe the news.
What kind of bullshit is that? A fake causing a miracle?
Ferdinand was personally monitoring her, making outing impossible, and above all, to the Count, she was nothing more than a worthless girl.
However.
⌈The Miracle Created by Lady Odette
Such a miracle has never existed in human history! Odette, the daughter truly loved by God.
The eternal blessing of the Barzeha Empire bestowed by God⌋
When all newspapers poured out such articles, the Count had no choice but to believe the words.
[Count] "Ha. That child is a real Purifier?"
To him, who suspected Doly and Odette had joined hands to backstab him, the news of Odette's awakening wasn't purely good.
In the worst case, he was even prepared to kill Odette by disguising it as death by illness, but attracting attention like this would make the cleanup difficult.
Moreover, hearing the story that she disappeared with Karl after awakening. As the situation seemed increasingly difficult to control, his head throbbed.
[Count] "Rolf, order the footmen to scour the capital. Find Odette by any means necessary! Find that thing and drag her to my office immediately!"
The startled Count pulled the bell rope in his office and ordered Rolf immediately upon his arrival.
If she is a real Purifier, her utility value is tremendous. She could really extort mines from the Imperial Family.
Although Odette has been acting on her own lately without being subordinate to him, if it's an event as big as the awakening of a "Real Purifier," he had to weigh the pros and cons first.
Because it is impossible for a girl with no ability, no allies, and nothing to escape from him. Even if she tries to escape, he just needs to crack down properly and bind her again.
[Count] "There is no need to bring her back unharmed. Lock her up as soon as you find her. If it really doesn't work, even torture her—"
However.
[Rolf] "M-Master, I think you need to come out to the lobby."
Rolf, pale as a sheet, cut off the Count's words uncharacteristically.
He reflexively turned his head toward the door. There was no need to go out to the lobby.
Because three S-class Transcendents, each as big as the door itself, were standing amiably in front of the office door.
[Johan] "We came to meet Lady Odette."
The Crown Prince scanned the Count's face with menacing eyes.
[Viktor] "Wow... Torturing your child? Our slum criminals need to step up their game a lot, huh? To catch up with the cruelty of the noble lord."
Colonel König clapped and mocked the words he just heard.
[Zion] "......"
Even Zion was biting a cigar with a cold face.
As if the Count's permission was not worth seeking, they entered the office and sat on the sofa. Without hiding their anger in the slightest.
