Chapter 1666: Missed? A trick of fate?


    The field was leveled by the assassin''s attack, there was a huge hole where the Walpurgis Academy held the Walpurgis Night.


    Professors, students, and guards stood up hastily as they assessed what just happened.


    The field was silent for a few seconds before the gravity of the situation sank in.


    Charlotte, Sigmund, Garm, Frey, Raishin, and Yaya were also speechless.


    There is only one question in their minds.


    Why?


    Why did Wu Yan attack the headmaster?


    How did things turn out like this?


    "Henriette."Charlotte touched the trembling Henriette''s shoulders.


    "Henriette? Why stop me? Did you know he was going to attack the headmaster? tell me!"


    "Sister..."


    Henriette was pale, helpless, and fraught with guilt. She didn''t know her strong sister could be so emotionally moved.


    "Henriette."


    Charlotte is choking up.


    "Tell me, what do you know?!"


    "Calm down, Charl..."


    Sigmund interrupted her.


    "If you shake her like this it is going to be hard for her to say anything."


    "B-But."


    Charlotte looked at the giant crater.


    "That fellow killed the headmaster."


    Sigmund, Frey, Raishin, and Yaya were silent.


    Walpurgis Academy is a world-ss institution known for genius Puppeteers. Each country wanted favors from the academy. It wouldn''t be wrong to say Walpurgis Academy is like a small nation of its own.


    The one leading this tiny nation is Edward Rutherford.


    Killing him is like killing the president.


    He will be levied the harshest punishment by the academy.


    With his attempt on Edward''s life, it is highly likely Wu Yan would be public enemy no.1 in many countries.


    He can''t live in the day anymore.


    Plus, there are tons of witnesses here.


    Raishin and Yaya turned grim when they realized this. Frey is also holding back her tears.


    Charlotte just lowered her head while Sigmund and Henriette grabbed her shoulders.


    She trembled at how fate yed a trick on her.


    The Belew House was a noble under the crown.


    But, a small dog automaton bit the scion of an important household that''s why the Belew House was punished.


    Their titles were revoked, their estates were confiscated and the dolls were dismantled.


    Because their estates were frozen, they couldn''t find livelihoods along with being saddled with bad reputation.


    The father of the house went to France to find bread for the family because he couldn''t find a job in Ennd.


    Soon, they lost contact with the father.


    Charlotte''s mum and sister also disappeared when Charlotte was in school.


    Fortunately, all was not lost even if Charlotte was cast out of her original school.


    She had talents for Puppetry and the school allowed her and her Gram magic circuit toe here.


    The Walpurgis Academy always weed talented magicians. As long as they had power, they could get all the grants and funds they wanted.


    Charlotte worked on her dream in the academy.


    She wanted to find her parents, and her sister, and restore her automata.


    This is why she wanted the Satan title. That title is above the crown''s sanction. She could earn back her glory, honor, and more importantly, her family.


    To focus on this, she left thefort zone of her friends and chose a path of solitude.


    Fate also gave her a good friend who she could exchange her memories with.


    However, the hope and light of her life stepped on a journey of no return.


    That was enough to crumble what hope she built from his appearance.


    Sigmund looked at the crater.


    Sigmund cried out in shock.


    "Charlotte! Over there!"


    A figure stood there.


    In the crater, there were multiple figures.


    They weredies wearing funeral gowns and had masks covering their faces.


    Standing behind the 6 automata are two individuals.


    One is a silver-masked guy and the other is an uncle with a built like a tank.


    Magnus appeared while the headmaster also survived the attack.


    "Huh? He isn''t dead?"


    Frey was happy to see this.


    "Magnus..."


    Raishin turned grim.


    "Magnus covered the headmaster?"


    Charlotte is happy to see this too.


    This means there is still grounds for defense.


    "I didn''t think it would get this bad."


    Someone spoke from behind her.


    Kimberly arrived.


    She looked at Henriette before slightly snorting.


    "You guys,e with me."


    Kimberly left without saying anything.


    They all tagged behind her.
