Chapter 107: -95- Maid Charlotte

"Even though I always bet with my group mates in my previous life, saying I’d dress up as a maid if this or that happened, Charlotte was well aware that it was just boasting."

"In the past, she would never have imagined she would actually have a day in a maid outfit."

"Oh no."

"In fact, she hadn’t even anticipated traveling through time."

"After all, who would have thought that by staying up late and working, one would wake up and suddenly become a cute girl who was about to be crucified in three days?"

"Lord Charlotte, your makeup is done."

The maid’s respectful voice was like music from heaven.

Charlotte also took a deep breath and moved her somewhat stiff neck.

Although the world of Mireya had magic, even illusion magic that could disguise one’s appearance, to avoid detection by possible magic devices, she ultimately decided to use the oldest, most cumbersome, but also the most reliable method—makeup.

The familiar standing mirror was pushed in front of her, and Charlotte saw clearly what she looked like now.

Her beautiful blonde hair had been dyed black, her fair skin had been darkened, and her facial features had been finely altered, making her look less youthful.

It could be said that she was now completely unrecognizable from before.

The only flaw was perhaps her bright blue eyes, which were so pure and beautiful that they did not match her dimmed complexion and deep black hair.

However, Charlotte had a thought, and the power of the Bloodline ignited, dyeing her blue eyes crimson.

The red eyes lost a bit of friendliness and gained some mystery, finally matching somewhat with her black hair.

Her appearance was no longer as eye-catching as before.

But, it was still of spectacle quality.

If her previous appearance could score a perfect ten, now it would probably be an eight, about the same level as Sherry.

It seems... still too outstanding.

"Shouldn’t I make it uglier?" Charlotte asked.

The maid had difficulty in responding, but Sebastian then said,

"Master, if you continue, it will start to look unnatural."

Unnatural?

Charlotte had a thought.

She quickly realized that a maid who could be kept by nobles definitely had her strong points, and if she had no other skills, she at least couldn’t be ugly.

Compared to being completely plain, a maid who was pretty but not overly conspicuous was exactly what she needed.

Charlotte then looked at Sebastian, the Flame Elf who had gotten serious about his disguise today, with black hair, black eyes, and his ears hidden, dressed in a common noble’s gown instead of a tailcoat.

But...

"Why are you wearing a mask?" she inquired, looking at the half-mask on Sebastian’s face.

"Master, the Drunk Dream Saloon itself is a masquerade," Sebastian said with a smile.

Charlotte: ...

What was she doing here, spending half the day on makeup?

"That works, get me one too," she said.

"That might not be possible... Your role is as a accompanying maid, and according to the Drunk Dream Saloon’s rules, maids aren’t allowed to wear masks, only the attending nobles can," Sebastian respectfully explained.

Charlotte: ...

Why did she feel like she had outsmarted herself?

"Master, why don’t you first take a look at the maid outfit I’ve selected for you?" Sebastian pushed the mirror a bit and suggested.

Charlotte stopped dwelling on that issue and shifted her gaze to the mirror.

Unlike the Castel family’s traditional apron with ruffled edges combined with a white collared solid color long dress, the maid outfit she was wearing had been modified to be less functional but more aesthetically pleasing.

The apron part was still mainly white with ruffled edges, but the one-piece dress had been changed from a long skirt to a short skirt, with white tights worn underneath.

The entire outfit was decorated with lots of ruffles, lace edges, and large bows, giving off a youthful, lively, and cute vibe.

"The skirt... isn’t it a bit too short?" she remarked.

"Uh, in the Drunk Dream Saloon, it’s actually quite conservative. Traditional functional maid uniforms don’t fit the style and needs of the Drunk Dream Saloon; they could give away too much..."

"From what you’re saying, I feel like the maid’s role... doesn’t seem very proper?"

"Uh... considering the nobles who frequent the Drunk Dream Saloon, do you think they would be proper?"

Charlotte: ...

Goodness, she felt more and more like she had led herself into a ditch.

Of course, having prepared to take action herself, she certainly couldn’t back down.

Tonight she had to uncover the secrets of the Blood Demon Church no matter what!

"Just tidy up, let’s head out early,"

Charlotte glanced at the sky and said.

At that moment, the dressing room window creaked open, and Nisi’s rather loud voice came through:

"Meow? Setting out? Setting out for what? Miss Charlotte, where are you going?"

Sebastian glanced at the Black Cat and chuckled lightly,

"It’s the master’s business, pets shouldn’t interfere."

Nisi: ...

"Pah! Pet my foot! You’re the pet, you stupid dog! Your whole family are pets!"

The Black Cat instantly lost its composure and puffed up angrily.

Sebastian elegantly picked up the wine glass with red wine, took a sip, and smilingly said:

"Heh, that’s not bad at all. Being the master’s pet is my greatest honor as Sebastian."

Nisi: ...

"Sebastian, you... really have no shame."

"Pot calling the kettle black, considering a certain fat cat who peeps at the maids bathing every day... For now, I advise you to divert your brazen gaze unless you wish to be gelded."

Sebastian said with a grin.

Hearing this, Nisi shivered suddenly and quickly withdrew his gaze from the white silk legs under Charlotte’s maid skirt, subconsciously shrinking his tail and hind legs.

Of course, its mouth was still unforgiving:

"Hmph! At least... I’m not like someone who causes trouble for Miss Charlotte! Getting chased and having Miss Charlotte clean up the mess!"

Sebastian: ...

The Flame Elf was also thrown off balance.

"Oh? Are you suggesting you haven’t caused enough trouble? Who always gets into trouble and gets punished by the master?"

"Mew! But I would never bring about the risk of blowing Miss Charlotte’s cover!"

"You useless pervert cat!"

"You crazy sycophantic dog!"

Charlotte: ...

Watching the cat and the person quickly start arguing again, she lightly pressed her forehead.

These two... just like water and fire, completely incompatible, and always argue within a few words of meeting each other, never peacefully coexisting.

"Enough, quiet."

She raised her voice.

Hearing Charlotte’s words, Nisi and Sebastian finally quieted down, snorted at each other, and turned their heads away.

Charlotte glanced at the Black Cat and said:

"I was supposed to have you check on Lotti’s news, how come you’re back so soon?"

Lotti?

Sebastian’s heart stirred.

And Nisi chuckled proudly, sticking out his chest:

"Meow! Who is Nisi, great Miss Charlotte? Nisi is a big shot in the Church!"

"Getting precise information on a priest is so easy!"

"Oh, so you mean you’ve got results?"

Charlotte’s gaze flickered.

"Of course."

Nisi nodded.

Speaking of which, it slightly assumed a serious expression:

"It turns out that I’ve finally realized why you had me check on her... Her identity is forged..."

"She is indeed called Lotti, but she didn’t join the Church as a child as the public records state."

"Her real details have been concealed by the Church, more precisely, by the Great Priest..."

"Fortunately, my authority in the Church is very high, something even the Great Priest doesn’t know, which allowed me to secretly unearth her real information."

"She has a surname, and... you might be quite familiar with it, um... if you still retain your past memories, you should recognize it."

"Quite familiar?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."

Nisi nodded slightly, with a solemn expression,

"Her name is Lotti de Broglie, the daughter of the deceased Bold’s chief royal court Mage, Count Broey."

"She was meant to die as a Blood Demon offering during the Flame Demon Disaster ten years ago!"
