Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 247

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 247]

“Doctor, take care.” Shanel greeted Julian.

She walked towards Ciel, who got up and walked out.

“Where do you live now?” Shanel was curious.

“Golden Winged Phoenix Mansion,” said Ciel.

“Wow, that’s a luxurious place, your vision is really good.” She looked surprised, obviously not expecting that Charles would stay in that kind of place.

“Have you been there too?”

“Yes.” Shanel said, “Hey, you don’t have a certain status, you won’t even be allowed to enter.”

Interestingly, when the people in the mansion saw Luanna, they seemed to understand and did not question anything.

“By the way, I didn’t see your wife and children, could it be…”

“They were not actually my wife and children, and they left immediately after the fire and they were safe,” Shire said.

She didn’t seem to have seen Luanna. Obviously, the king’s envoys usually act secretly, and people like Luanna rarely make public appearances.

Ciel and Shanel walked out of the manor. They crossed the street. There were many citizens watching the fun along the way. They pointed at the smoking house, quite curious, and kept guessing about the damage caused by the fire and the identity of the arsonist.

“People on the West Coast always want to know what’s going on as soon as possible, and don’t want to let themselves know the latest news a second later.” Shanel said with a smile.

“It’s a lively city,” said Charles. “It’s the same in the city as it is outside.”

“In the city… the situation is more complicated. Since the king was bedridden, the atmosphere has become more and more tense. People would rather go outside the city to have fun. I also heard that there are parties here for a week.” Shanel explained.

“What is everyone’s attitude towards the king?”

“You sound like a spy.”

“I am indeed a spy, insidious, cunning, and scheming.” Ciel joked.

“How can you be such a brave and dashing spy,” Shanel said with amusement, “you are so full of mysteries. Let’s just say, everyone is trying to adapt to the king’s rule, accepting a series of new rules, such as increasingly strict Curfew, abolish hunter groups.”

While talking, they came to the Golden Wing Phoenix Mansion. The whole building looked more majestic in the daytime. The waiter at the door greeted Ciel and Shanel respectively.

“Will she come too?” the waiter led them in, asking Shanel at the same time.

“Not today,” Shanel said mysteriously.

“Who?” Charles asked curiously.

Shanel’s smile grew even wider.

“Anna and I sometimes leave the Purple Flag Palace and play elsewhere.” Shanel was quite proud when he said this.

Ciel pushed open the door of his room, and Shanel waited half a step before entering.

“How did you and Queen Anna meet?” Ciel sat on the bed and undid his personal armor.

“She’s not actually called Anna,” Shanel said. “Her real name is Anastasia of Qinghe, but the king always only calls her a short name.”

“I heard she was the king’s bride.”

“Yes, since the death of Queen Maria, His Majesty lived alone for a while, until Valentine, the protector of the country, brought Miss Anastasia from Qinghe, and the king fell in love with her at first sight at the ball… Obviously, who can refuse His Majesty the King?”

“But the king is very old.”

“You are so courageous to talk about the king’s age.” Shanel stuck out her tongue, “Your Majesty? May he live long!”

“I’m curious what kind of person the queen is.” Ciel pulled the pillow over and lay down casually.

“Huhu…” Shanel stared intently at Ciel, who now only wears close-fitting clothes, with a broad frame and strong muscles, he can almost see his figure.

“Huh?” Ciel supported his chin with his hand and observed Shanel as well.

She has long curly hair and lovely features, and when she looks at Charles curiously, her eyes are completely focused.

“Am I distracted?” Shanel said. “Sorry…it’s always like this.”

“fine.”

“I want to be closer to you.”

“Please.”

Shanel climbed onto the bed, sat on the other side of the bed, supported her body with one hand, stroked her long hair with the other, folded her legs together, and threw her shoes to the side of the bed with her feet.

Ciel felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more ambiguous, and Shanel had no experience in this regard.

“Sometimes I have dreams…” she said. “Do you remember the other girls in the party? We talk every day about some handsome knights we can meet, and now you suddenly appear, so strong… so… Bravery…like a dream come true.”

“That’s fine.”

“I thought you would be modest.”

“You don’t have to be humble when you deserve it,” said Charles.

Shanel swallowed.

“You asked the queen just now?”

“Yes, I know some people in the royal family, but I don’t know anything about Her Royal Highness,” Charles said.

“She’s quite introverted and has a very simple temperament. Oops, she’s easily bullied. She often complains to me about things in the court. She’s in trouble, and the queen is in serious trouble.”

“Is there anything in the court that disturbs the queen?”

“Hmph…” Shanel whispered, “It’s all secrets from the palace, I shouldn’t talk nonsense.”

“I won’t tell anyone,” said Charles. “You can rest assured of me.”

Ciel took the initiative to get closer to her, and Shanel looked even more shy and coquettish.

Ciel knew how to deal with her, he was careful, and if he walked away, she felt that Ciel was in front of her, but he could never get close.

However, what Shanel did was beyond Ciel’s expectations.

She came up quickly and put her hand on his shoulder.

Shanel wanted to kiss Ciel, but Ciel leaned back, letting her kiss fail.

But you can’t let her get started so soon.

“I like you—ah no, no.” Shanel apparently started to think after speaking, “—excuse me, what did I say? What did I just do? No, no.” She quickly let go of her hand, backed up awkwardly.

“It’s okay,” Ciel said. “It’s okay, take it easy. Next, I’m going to the Purple Flag Palace, and maybe I can meet the Queen on the way.”

“Ah? Ah? To the Purple Flag Palace? How are you going to get there? The security is heavily guarded there!” Shanel asked.

“I thought I could write an application, is it difficult to get in?” Ciel realized that he was wrong.

“No, it’s heavily guarded, and the door is usually closed, and no one is allowed to enter. Many things are in the Government Affairs Office and are left to Lord Protector to solve. Outsiders rarely have the opportunity to enter…” Shanel said.

“You are the queen’s friend, are you trusted by them?”

“—Yes.” Shanel replied quickly.

“I know Prince Leopold, you just need to bring me a letter to him, and I will be able to enter the court,” said Charles.

“His Royal Highness Leopold! Eh? How did you meet?”

“He was so fond of fights, and we got to know each other through fights,” Shire said.

Shanel groaned.

“The Queen is always looking for someone who can help her with the challenges she faces,” Shanel said.

“She’s looking for someone to solve the problem. Interesting, you said she was in trouble, what kind of trouble?”

“Hmm…” Shanel didn’t seem to want to reveal it.

Charles stroked her shoulder, and she didn’t resist.

Then he kissed her.

Shanel blushed, her eyes blurred, and her mind went blank.

“Mr. Grani…”

“Are you kissing for the first time?” Charles asked.

“Yes.” Shanel looked at Ciel nervously, “The first time…the first time…”

“Bring me a letter to Leopold and introduce me to the Queen. I want to get in touch with her. I want to share my worries for the Queen. If you can help me with this, I will be very happy.” Charles Say.

“Yes! Yes…no problem.” Shanel’s voice became weaker and more shy, “…as long as I can see you again, my… knight…”

“Of course, you are so cute and attractive.” Charles stroked her face. “How could I have the heart to leave you alone?”

“Then… After I enter the palace to convey the message, where will I go to find you?”

Charles smiled.

“The Hunter’s Sanctuary on the West Coast, I’ll be waiting for you there.”

Chapter 315

After Shanel left, Charles slept until the afternoon.

He put the grey knife on him, put on his hedge knight outfit again, and hid his face under his helmet.

Armed with sharp weapons and full of confidence, he can break through any kind of difficulties and obstacles with a single stroke.

Charles left the mansion with such an aura.

Shanel is another link between me and the court, Charles thought.

From Leopold, resources and information were limited.

If you can connect with the queen, the plan for Eduardo will be much more convenient, and the queen should know the king well.

Kill Eduardo and take his crown, which seems to dominate the minds of other people, and the power is terrifying.

Either destroy it or use it for your own use, you can’t even give it to Leopold.

I have to prepare a plan to restore the order of Loman, first restore the lower world to normal, and then try to save the upper gods.

The gods of the Temple of Beauty seem to be completely unable to fight against the King of Darkness, but the gods are gods after all, and they will definitely not be captured. He still exists, not destroyed.

The West Coast Sanctuary might have what I need.

Charles pondered.

The former garrison here, Master Pendra, must have left a lot of value behind that I could use.

The silver key was taken from Franks on the west coast, and now it can be used to open the confinement door of the west coast sanctuary.

It’s just that it depends on whether there are any enemies there.

Charles passed through the gate, and the soldiers made way for him without questioning his arrival.

He turned his head to look at the soldiers guarding the city gate. They were as silent and quiet as before. They didn’t say a word, and they remained mysterious as if they were possessed.

These people seem reassured and careless.

No, it’s more of confidence than negligence.

They believed I was never going to turn upside down on the West Coast, so they let me go.
