Off the Course (4)

Weird as it was—the way Charles quelled his guilt—one couldn't expect less from someone like him. No one could ever know the way he thought things.

Not even Basil, who had heard many things about Charles in his past life, could exactly tell how he thought. Charles was a complicated and secretive individual—like Basil himself, it wasn't easy to figure him out.

"How... Did you know about it?" Charles spoke with difficulty as the chain tying his neck to the cross had been tightened. "There should be not a single person know about it."

Although Basil had heard many things about Charles in his past life, he didn't actually know about what had really happened on the Blois Family's disappearance. He had only figured it out after he asked the Guide about it.
