Charlotte was shocked. The legendary knight was a terrifying presence at level six.
You see, Elizabeth was a few years younger than him, maybe...twenty years old?
A twenty-year-old legendary knight, this was more than just extraordinary!
If nothing unexpected happened along the way, she would likely reach the heights of a judgment, a tenth-level powerhouse who would overlook all others.
To have such a fiancée, what a sense of security it would bring! Yet, he ended up with the fate of being jilted.
Charlotte couldn't help but sigh.
But when he thought about it, one was an otherworldly genius, and the other was a waste with their magic source sealed. No matter how you looked at it, they were not a compatible match.
"However, I have indeed been jilted, and it's no secret. I'm not going to see her on this trip to Calva," Charlotte calmed himself and said to Diana.
"Jilted? It was she who misjudged, she might regret it in the future," Diana smiled gently as she picked up a piece of braised chicken, "After lunch, I'll have Buddy take you to Calva. He often accompanies me there, so he is quite familiar with the place."
"Thank you," Charlotte nodded slightly.
Diana stared at his face for a while and added, "However, if you want to enter the city, you must change your face."
"Change my face?"
"Take it, consider it a gift for the opening of my clinic." Diana's fingertip space ring flashed, and a piece of black beast skin appeared in her hand, which she handed to Charlotte.
"What is this?" Charlotte took the beast skin, feeling its smooth and delicate texture. Looking closely at the back, he could see numerous intricate and tiny runes that emitted a faint glow, giving it a somewhat mystical appearance.
"This is a disguise mask. Once you put it on, it can transform into six different faces. However, it is not arbitrary, but according to your facial structure, making some adjustments. But it's enough to completely change your appearance into someone else," Diana explained.
"This is a great item." Charlotte's eyes lit up as he played with the beast skin in his hand. It was pitch black, but he wondered if it would turn into charcoal when he put it on his face.
Vivian also looked curiously at the beast skin in Charlotte's hand. If she had had this treasure when she was fleeing for her life, she wouldn't have ended up being chased all the way and in such a sorry state.
After a satisfying meal, Diana left on her own.
Not long after, Buddy stopped a low-profile black carriage in front of the clinic.
"Doctor Charlotte, Miss Diana asked me to take you to your destination," Buddy smiled and opened the car door for Charlotte.
"Thank you." Charlotte nodded slightly and boarded the carriage.
Before getting into the carriage, Charlotte caught a glimpse of a young demon girl standing in front of the adjacent bookstore, curiously scanning the various ancient books on the shelves in front of the door.
The girl appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. She was dressed in a luxurious purple gown with gemstones adorning her hairpiece. Her eyes were lively, and her appearance was seven parts cute and three parts enchanting.
As a native of the Abyss, one could easily tell that this girl was from outside and didn't seem particularly clever.
Rich, beautiful, but not too smart.
Even in Baka Street, a relatively safe neighborhood, many covetous eyes had already set their sights on this fat lamb.
He sighed inwardly. What was happening to young girls these days? Why would they take such risks to come to dangerous places like the Abyss? He would have to inform Buddy and the Fox Guards to be on alert and warn this naive girl.
Suddenly, the girl turned her head and her gaze fell upon him. Her eyes lit up instantly, and her voice rose sharply, "Charlotte!"
Charlotte:...
Miss, who are you?
The girl dropped the book in her hand and took a few steps towards the carriage, looking up at Charlotte. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, but when she noticed Charlotte's somewhat confused look, she became a bit impatient and asked, "What? Have you forgotten me after only three years?"
Charlotte furrowed his brow. This sounded as if they were quite familiar with each other before.
And this girl came from Calva?
Could she be a debt from his previous life?
Elizabeth was a human, so this girl from the demon clan could be ruled out as his former fiancée.
"I'm Jenny, Elizabeth's best friend. We've met once before," the girl's impatient character didn't give Charlotte a chance to think, as she quickly introduced herself.
Ah! The fiancée's best friend who had only met once before, they weren't close at all, so there shouldn't be any problem.
"So, Miss Jenny, why are you here?" Charlotte calmly asked.
As old acquaintances, even if not close, he still had the responsibility to remind this seemingly not-very-bright girl about the dangers of the Abyss.
"Why do you react like this when you see me?" Jenny looked at him.
"Should I be overjoyed?" Charlotte looked back at her.
"Well... I guess not." Jenny slapped her head.
"Shouldn't you be expecting me to bring you a message from Elizabeth?"
"So, did she ask you to bring a message?" Charlotte asked calmly, but in his heart... he was still somewhat hopeful.
"No," Jenny shook her head.
Charlotte:...
"Has she come to find you these two days?" Jenny asked.
"Who?" Charlotte narrowed his eyes.
"Elizabeth. She left Calva the day after the Red Moon Night. I thought she might have come to find you," Jenny looked at Charlotte, disappointment visible on her face.
"It seems she didn't."
"We've already broken off our engagement. How could she possibly come to find me?" Charlotte smiled casually and looked at Jenny.
"Miss Jenny, let me remind you that the Abyss is chaotic and dangerous, as the rumors suggest. Wandering around the streets dressed like this, wearing such splendid jewelry, you've already attracted the attention of many ill-intentioned people. So, unless you have other business, I suggest you return to Calva as soon as possible."
"Really? Whenever I go out, I get even more attention than this, and I don't feel like people are staring at me that much," Jenny looked around, feeling a bit confused.
"You sure are confident," Charlotte frowned, thinking about whether or not to take her to Calva. But it wouldn't be beneficial for him to reveal his identity in Calva.
Jenny asked, "By the way, since Elizabeth didn't come to find you, do you have a reliable way to find Roland?"
"You're looking for Roland?" Charlotte was surprised.
"Yes, last time I asked him to meet me under the giant lantern, and I waited for him the whole morning, but he didn't show up. I came to the Abyss to settle the score with him," Jenny said angrily.
So it was Roland's romantic debts catching up to him and with such an impulsive girl. It sounded interesting just thinking about it.
"Get in the car, we'll drop you off on the way," Charlotte got into the carriage.
Last time, he sent a little Lolita to Roland, and now he's sending a young demon girl. Roland must be moved to tears, right?
"Okay," Jenny climbed into the carriage and glanced at Buddy, who was driving.
Buddy politely smiled at her.
Jenny sat across from Charlotte, looking at him with a hint of hostility in her eyes.
She said sarcastically, "It didn't take long for Diana's bodyguard to become your exclusive driver. You two developed quite quickly."
Charlotte didn't understand the sudden hostility from the girl, but he didn't want to argue with her either. He calmly replied, "It's just that I asked Buddy to take me somewhere. He's far from being an exclusive driver."
"Humph," Jenny murmured, obviously not believing him, but she didn't continue the topic.
"Did you love her?"
After a moment of silence, Jenny suddenly asked a soul-searching question.
"Who?" Charlotte instinctively asked.
"Who? What do you think? Who do you have in mind? Charlotte, are you being fair to her? I feel sorry for her! You heartless man!" Jenny suddenly became agitated, staring at him with wide eyes.
The carriage slowly came to a stop.
"We've arrived at the Duru Mansion," Buddy's voice came from outside.
Jenny opened the door and jumped out of the carriage, walking towards the gate of Duru Mansion without looking back.
Leaving Charlotte alone in the carriage, utterly confused.
What the hell is going on?
Why am I being blamed for something?
This is so confusing!
"Doctor?" Buddy looked at Charlotte with an inquisitive gaze.
"Cough... She's a strange person. I couldn't even understand what she was saying," Charlotte chuckled dryly.
"Let's go to Calva now; it's getting late."
Buddy nodded, and the carriage started moving again.
Charlotte took out a disguise mask from his pocket dimension ring.
After distinguishing the inside and outside, she put it directly on her face.
The thin mask, when worn on the face, was like putting on a facial mask. The mouth, nose, and eyes were automatically revealed, without any special reaction.
Charlotte took out a specially prepared mirror, and when he looked at his reflection, his eyes widened.
His handsome face, with an oval-shaped face, suddenly transformed into a square-faced rough man with rough and dark skin.
There was even a fierce scar at the corner of his eyes, like an adventurer and mercenary who had been hunting in the wilderness for years.
Both the appearance and demeanor had undergone drastic changes.
Not only would strangers not recognize him, he couldn't even recognize himself.
With a thought in mind, he rubbed his face several times, and when his transformed face returned to normal, it changed into a seductive and promiscuous face. With watery peach blossom eyes, sexy red lips, and willow leaf-shaped eyebrows, a smile could charm anyone.
"Damn!"
Charlotte couldn't help but get closer and take a closer look. If he were to wear women's clothing, he would be a top-grade beauty on Amman Street.
It was because of his good looks that he could transform into such a seductive and promiscuous appearance.
He transformed the remaining faces as well. There was a young and masculine boy, a soft and weak young master, a steady middle-aged man, and even a green-skinned goblin.
Charlotte sincerely appreciated Diana. This disguise mask was extremely useful for him. It would make entering and leaving Calva much more convenient.
...
"This guy seems to have almost forgotten about Elizabeth. It's incredible that back then, she went to the lord with all her might to plead on his behalf, even resorting to threatening death. Hmph, men are never good, especially doctors!"
Jenny walked towards the gate of the Duru Manor, fuming with anger.
"Duru Manor, no entry for unrelated people!"
Two guards blocked Jenny's path, but considering her attire and extraordinary temperament, they remained relatively polite.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Roland." Jenny looked at the guards.
"Just tell him that a woman who had her heart broken by him is here to see him!"
The two guards exchanged a glance and didn't dare delay.
One of them hurriedly walked into the estate.
"A heartbroken young girl who was hurt by me?" Not long after, Roland walked out of the manor with a puzzled expression.
When he saw Jenny standing at the gate, his eyes widened, but his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
Instinctively, he turned around, intending to escape, and said, "Tell her I'm not at home."
"Roland! Stop right there!"
The girl's impatient voice sounded from behind him.
