This is a woman with a haggard face and thick dark circles under her eyes. Although her face is very good and she looks beautiful with a little makeup, her almost fanatical expression destroys this beauty.

Charles felt that this woman looked familiar, but he was sure that he had never seen this woman before.

"The question you asked, I remember I once said it to a young man. I was also very young at that time."

The woman tilted her head: "Why did you want to become a Paladin in the first place?"

"..."

The hollowness in Charles' eyes gradually disappeared.

very beginning.

When being adopted.

For revenge.

And become someone like old Addison, someone who protects others.

The unstable aura on Charles' body gradually subsided, and his aura became like that of an ordinary person.

After Emilia's power disappeared, nothing affected him anymore.

There were some questions he had been thinking about after killing old Addison, and he should have remembered the answer long ago.

He wants to be the old Addison he once was, the man in his memory, the man who tried his best to show all his good qualities in front of his children.

Charles stood up, and the woman's appearance was reflected in his golden eyes again.

She seems to be a complete woman, but her soul is as damaged as a rag.

The woman looked at Charles with a satisfied smile on her face: "The last paladin who was persuaded got the answer of family. What is the answer you got now?"

"responsibility."

Charles' eyes were on the woman.

A broken soul.

He had seen the same soul in another man.

Only that family has the ability to fuse the power of the evil god.

Inexplicable uneasiness came from Charles' spiritual sense.

It even made the legendary paladin feel creepy and uneasy.

He remembered the words he saw in the temple's reference room not long ago.

[They are like mourning crows. If you see them, it means disaster is about to come to this place, whether they know it or not.

——Saint Hayne Mansfield, Second Crusade 2750 Note]

The paladin stared at the woman and asked seriously.

"Are you from the Servais family?"

The woman listened to Charles' question, a trace of curiosity flashed in her black eyes, and she said gently:

"I am Alice Servais. Have you seen other Servais? Is it my lovely nephew?"

Alice's tone became gentle, like a neighbor's aunt seeing her child's playmate.

"How did you meet little Ken, how is he doing recently? Does he have a girlfriend? I heard that he and little Kailin..."

Charles looked at Alice, who suddenly changed into a different person in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He didn't know how to answer for some reason, and finally suppressed the question he had always wanted to ask: "Auntie, why are you here?"

"Little Ken asked us to come."

"us?"

Charles noticed the keyword and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He looked around.

On the ground that was originally full of bloodshot eyes, a group of people wearing the same black robes appeared somewhere.

"Ah, yes, we."

Alice didn't notice Charles' panic. She stretched out her arms and said, "Including little Ken, the entire Servais family is here. This is the first time in this era that such a group action has taken place."

The first time in this era.

The whole Servais clan is here.

[Seeing them means disaster is about to happen here]

Charles looked at the woman with her arms outstretched.

A drop of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
