The lady has disappeared.
Given that Emma was murdered not long ago, there were fears that the lady had been kidnapped by the same assailant.
Her wedding was fast approaching, so the worry was overwhelming.
A search party was quickly assembled.
I was wringing my hands in worry when Young Master Johannes approached me.
Young Master Johannes was leading the search party to find the lady.
He was the one who used to torment the lady persistently in their childhood, but he had gradually changed as he grew older.
As a child, he was nothing short of a rascal, but once he matured, he became gentle and caring.
He no longer tormented the lady and instead tried to take care of her with utmost devotion.
Not only that, but he also started studying diligently, which earned him high praise from his tutors.
He was the most elegant and refined man I knew.
I clung to Young Master Johannes desperately, asking him how the search for the lady was going.
“Don’t worry. We’re doing everything we can to find her. But tell me, did she say anything to you before she left?”
“What?”
“If she said anything, it could help with the search.”
I hesitated for a moment.
The last time I saw the lady, she was definitely acting strange.
And that man, who was rumored to be her lover, was suspicious. What if he took her away?
I didn’t know what to do.
But if it’s Young Master Johannes, it should be fine.
Unlike when he was a child, he is now more considerate and devoted to the lady than anyone else.
In the end, I confessed everything that happened that day, for the lady’s sake.
“…So the rumors about a lover were true?”
Young Master Johannes looked shocked.
“But you mustn’t tell anyone. If His Lordship finds out, Milady will be in serious trouble! I’m only telling you because I’m worried she might be in danger…”
“I wasn’t planning on telling anyone, so don’t worry.”
Young Master Johannes reassured me with a gentle expression.
I was truly relieved. I was glad Young Master Johannes was leading the search party.
After hearing my story, Young Master Johannes left.
Left alone, I thought of the lady.
– …I shouldn’t have trusted him.
What did the lady mean when she said that?

Today, the undead revived several times again.
Each time, Dietrich killed the undead.
As the killings repeated, Dietrich’s methods of killing the undead became more brutal.
“Can’t you kill them more cleanly?”
“If I do it this way, it slows down their revival.”

We found the lady!
…But something was off.
The knights dragged her back like she was an animal. His Lordship, who began shouting the moment she returned, slapped the lady across the face several times.
“Lock this girl up until the wedding!”
The master, unable to contain his anger, roared.
Young Master Johannes dragged the unresponsive lady to her room, and I watched in shock as the situation unfolded.
Soon, the truth of what had happened was revealed through the whispers of those who knew.
“They say the lady tried to elope!”
“My goodness, how disgraceful!”
“They caught her trying to run away with some man!”
Elope?
But the lady said… she didn’t love that man.
Soon after, I was allowed to see the lady again. After all, she still needed a maid to attend to her.
When I met the lady again, she seemed almost out of her mind.
The lady, who was usually so meticulously composed, now had her clothes disheveled and her hair in a tangled mess.
She sat by the bed as if she had collapsed there, gripping the bedspread so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.
It broke my heart to see my beloved lady like that.
“Did you love that man?”
“…Of course not. That’s impossible.”
The lady let out a bitter laugh, as if the idea was absurd.
“I didn’t love that guy. Why would I do something so foolish?”
That guy?
Her voice softened momentarily as she spoke those words.
“Then why are you so sad?”
“Because ‘that guy’… is not my lover.”
What does that mean?

Today once more, the undead revived several times again.
Each time, Dietrich killed them again.
Though he was used to it, Dietrich still seemed even more unstable every time he killed an undead.
The blood-soaked man suddenly burst into laughter and began circling around the corpses he had slain.
Then he looked at me and said,
“Charlotte, will you hold me?”
[ Darkness: 75% ]
…This can’t go on.
We need to abandon the plan.
