-652- Will surely be destroyed

At this moment, everyone saw the anger in Charl's eyes.

"Miss Charl?" Yaya was somewhat surprised.

"Charl," Sigmund sighed.

Only Rozen, after looking steadily at Charl for a while, turned and looked at Frey.

However, Rozen's voice sounded.

"Indeed, for you, this 'Cannibal Candy' is an unforgivable presence, isn't it?"

This abrupt statement came from Rozen, leaving everyone astonished once again.

"What do you mean?" Charl glared at Rozen, speaking in a frustrated manner, "Don't act like you understand me!"

"Of course, I understand you."

Rozen glanced at Charl and spoke like this.

"Do you think, under the circumstance where I knew 'Cannibal Candy' possesses strength at the level of the 'Thirteen,' I wouldn't have investigated the current 'Thirteen' even if it meant finding out about him?"

Rozen's words were spoken casually, leaving Charl slightly wide-eyed and speechless.

But that's the way it is, isn't it?

Since it was known that 'Cannibal Candy' is at the level of the 'Thirteen,' to find him, Rozen naturally first investigated the information about the 'Thirteen' within the academy.

Therefore, as early as last night, Rozen had already contacted Karyusai Shouko through the phone to obtain all the information about the current 'Thirteen.'

Of course, this information included details about Charl.

"Thanks to this, I also know about your situation."

Rozen didn't look at Charl and spoke in a detached tone.

"I know why the Belew family fell."

At these words, Charl's delicate face twitched slightly, and she lowered her head, hiding her expression beneath her bangs.

In this situation, Rozen began to explain.

"Once, the Belew family was not only a noble bestowed with the Unicorn Badge by Her Majesty but also a prestigious machinart family renowned in England."

It is said that the history of the Belew family can be traced back 120 years, not considered ancient among magic families. However, the founder of the Belew family was a skilled Spirit Tamer, capable of forming contracts with creatures known as Spirits in the natural magical world, thus wielding the power of Spirits and manipulating natural phenomena.

Although automaton gradually gained popularity since that time, the ancient 'Spirits Taming Arts' was still passed down, much like the 'Onmyoudou.' Both had familiars that could be directly manipulated, and thus, even now, they were still practiced.

As a proficient user of the 'Spirits Taming Arts,' the first Count Belew had once defeated a Dragon residing in a magical mountain and tamed it for her service.

For this achievement, the first Belew Count was ennobled, and generations to come achieved great feats with the help of the magical dragon, eventually establishing the family's current reputation.

"The so-called magical dragon is actually a dragon-shaped automaton," Rozen said, turning his gaze to the small dragon beside him. "That would be you, Sigmund?"

Rozen's words were met with Sigmund's silence, which was essentially an acknowledgment.

In other words, Sigmund was an inherited automaton within the Belew family, similar to Hokuto, serving as the guardian of the family.

Charl inherited this magical dragon, enabling her to stand firm at the sixth position even in an academy gathering talents from around the world, thanks to its formidable power.

The heads of the Belew family always possessed outstanding abilities. In comparison to the Wiseman, they probably wouldn't fall too short, especially the previous owner of Sigmund, Charl's father and the contemporary Belew Count. He was not only an excellent automaton user but also a renowned automaton craftsman.

The Belew residence housed numerous automatons, living together like family.

However...

"One day, a highly distinguished young man visited the Belew family as a guest."

Rozen calmly narrated this event.

"It was said that the young man was injured due to an attack by an automaton shaped like a dog from the Belew family."

These words made Charl shiver involuntarily.

However, Rozen continued.

"Because of this incident, Count Belew faced severe condemnation from the royal family. His title was revoked, his territory confiscated, even those automatons that were like family were dismantled, and his assets frozen, plunging the Belew family into utter despair."

As a result, the Belew family found it difficult to sustain their livelihood, and Count Belew could not secure any work within England. He had to go to France as an automaton craftsman, seeking employment.

Soon after, the Count disappeared without a trace, leaving only Charl, her mother, and her sister missing, leaving Charl alone in the boarding school.

In the end, due to inability to pay the school fees, Charl was expelled from the boarding school.

In this way, only Sigmund remained by Charl's side.

Fortunately, where there's a will, there's a way. Despite the Belew family's grave crime, they were still a prestigious machinart family. For the Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart, which valued strength more than public opinion, they were a talent that would be accepted no matter what.

Thus, Charl became eligible for a scholarship and entered this prestigious academy.

Since that time, Charl began to have a dream.

"To revive the Belew family, find my parents and sister, and return to the days when we were a happy and joyous family."

Rozen sighed.

"For this, you wish to become the Wiseman."

By becoming the Wiseman, the nation would undoubtedly value Charl, pardon her family's crimes, help find her relatives, and restore the family's former glory.

"I've heard that you're currently using scholarship funds to gradually buy back the hearts of those automatons you once considered as family," Rozen remarked.

He finally looked at Charl.

"And the reason you can't forgive the 'Cannibal Candy' is because, in his pursuit of the Wiseman position, he continuously took the lives of automatons. For you, who seek to reclaim the hearts of automatons you see as family to become the Wiseman, he's an unforgivable nemesis."

It was precisely for this reason that Charl was so eager to discover the identity of the 'Cannibal Candy.'

Not out of fear of being attacked by the 'Cannibal Candy,' but because she couldn't forgive his actions.

The direct reason why Charl was so concerned about the 'Cannibal Candy' was this.

Therefore, Rozen had to tell Charl.

"Give up on dealing with the 'Cannibal Candy.'"

Rozen stated this plainly.

"Otherwise, your dream will surely be destroyed."
