"Hey! What happened yesterday?"
The next day, Kallen rushed in again, climbing the wall in a frenzy of activity.
"That... temporary guardian from yesterday, he was totally abnormal, wasn't he?"
"For example?"
Otto looked at her friend, who habitually eluded security, and sighed with helplessness.
"Is this idiot only now realizing that something is wrong?"
"For example, the air can speak!"
"..."
Otto felt that she and this idiot probably didn't have much in common.
"This is already a problem where even the most basic communication is difficult, okay?"
"And then?"
"And then?"
Kallen never expected Otto to be so calm at that moment.
"Of course we're going to exorcise the evil spirits!"
"Are you, a 'knight', advising me, a 'bishop', to perform an exorcism?"
Otto looked at Kallen.
She was referring to the family backgrounds of both, but the topic of "exorcising evil spirits" was truly full of flaws.
"Um..."
Kallen thought for a moment and realized that it seemed to make sense.
"And again" —Otto sighed, looking at Kallen's dazed expression—", is it really okay for you to speak ill of him in front of others?"
"Eh?"
Otto's words surprised Kallen.
A timely notification arrived from the nearby air.
"Ahem, I'm right next to you."
"..."
Hearing Tian Shi's voice, even the habitually carefree Kallen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
After all, she was caught red-handed speaking ill of someone...
She is simply carefree, not shameless.
"Um, um... that's not what I meant..."
Kallen turned her head to the side.
"Yes, I understand, it's fine"
Tian Shi had no intention of arguing with Kallen: why bother arguing with a fool from the Kaslana family when there's nothing better to do?
However, Tian Shi's "magnanimity" only made Kallen feel more embarrassed.
So Kallen abandoned the idea of the exorcism she had mentioned before... even though the idea was originally something she came up with on a whim.
"Ahem... Shall we go out and have fun together again today?"
Leaving the matter of Tian Shi aside, Kallen said something that made Otto's face darken.
"Go out again?"
"I think you want me dead!"
"My legs hurt a bit today, so I'll pass"
Otto refused.
However, this was not an excuse; yesterday's intense shopping spree was simply too much for this homebody to handle.
Her thighs were really sore...
"Eh?"
Kallen looked bewildered.
"Leg pain? What kind of pain? I've never felt it!"
"Anyway, I'm not going out with you today"
Seeing Kallen's dazed expression, Otto sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"Okay"
Although it was a pity, Kallen couldn't force Otto, who seemed determined not to go out.
"Do you have anything more fun? I'm tired of that kite"
"That one over there is my studio, take whatever you want and play with it"
Otto, with mixed feelings, pointed the way to Kallen.
Although she was glad that someone was interested in her work, the fact that the person interested was a fool like Kallen made her feel somewhat conflicted.
"Is it possible that, apart from sages like God, only a fool like Kallen can understand me?"
"Are you really okay with this?"
After Kallen entered Otto's studio, the young girl showed a rationality beyond her age and asked Tian Shi a question.
"In what aspect?"
"It's her... coming here every day, isn't it too much?"
Although Otto had rarely left her house until then, she was still able to perceive certain things through her intelligence.
"The three great families of Schicksal are closely related, what are you afraid of?"
Tian Shi rolled his eyes.
He had also taken the time to learn more about the current situation during the last two days.
The relationship between the three families is still relatively solid.
Although there are some disputes between them, they are all kept secret.
However, this robustness will not last much longer.
The Schariac family, representing the "Holy Girl", is practically nonexistent; their lineage is dwindling and Nicholas has already intervened.
The Abyss Flower will probably soon become common property of Schicksal.
The Kaslana "knight" is fine.
Francis Kaslana is a middle-aged man, wise and brave, and as a result, the Kaslana family and the Apocalypse family have a very good relationship now.
Unfortunately, this man will die in battle within a few years.
It was only at that moment, added to the pressure of the failed expedition to the east, that the three main families split; today they are far from that point.
Well... but this situation is largely due to the fact that Schicksal also has an organization called the "Castle Council."
The two sides are competing for power and profit; it can be said that 80% of the struggles at the current stage of Schicksal are caused by these two sides.
Therefore, as long as there are no internal problems within the three main families, they are truly inseparable.
"So, in other words, my father is actually happy about it?"
Otto was naturally intelligent and, with Tian Shi's brief explanation, she immediately understood most of it.
"It's obvious, you don't really believe your father wouldn't notice you slipped away yesterday, do you?"
Although Nicholas had some vision problems, he was still good at recognizing people; he had long since noticed Otto's intelligence and began to pay close attention to her.
So it's normal for Otto not to notice if she runs away for an hour or two, but sneaking away for an entire day and still not being discovered would be an insult to the bishop's intelligence.
Otto hesitated immediately upon realizing this: after all, the authority her bishop father had granted her was not so easy to erase.
To put it bluntly, if Otto had been able to free herself from her father's control before, why would she have needed her second sister, Lisa, to poison Nicholas?
Otto could kill them all herself, right?
She could even shift the blame and earn a good reputation in the end.
"What bishop, what unfathomable? Second sister, Lisa, said he was just an old man"
A cup of poison and the physical weakness of the Apocalypse family would undoubtedly kill them.
Unfortunately, Otto never understood it back then.
"Don't worry, there's no need to feel pressured"
Tian Shi patted Otto on the shoulder, noticing her somewhat timid expression.
"You don't have bad intentions toward Kallen, besides, even if we drift apart a bit, if anything unexpected happens, I'll still be here for you"
"Don't underestimate the power of a Guardian Angel!"
Tian Shi's surprise attack might not work against seasoned warriors, but how about an old pampered man?
Okay, even if Nicholas is still middle-aged now, it doesn't matter.
"A little angel can also take your life!"
Don't forget, his stalking skills are also level 10... It's not hard for him to make an ordinary person die unexpectedly.
However, this cannot be said openly to Otto... after all, he is still the girl's father.
However, Otto, who was only 13 at the time, had obviously not thought on such a dark level.
She breathed a sigh of relief and a look of relief appeared on her face.
"Then I leave it in your hands, my lord."
