-49- The Blamed Thorny Rose

Leaving the side hall and returning in a spare evening gown with the help of a maid, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Great Priest was amiable, kindhearted, and very friendly, Charlotte, for some unknown reason, always felt restless in his presence.

It was completely different from the feeling she had when she was with Dean Lawuer at the Church Hospital. She had spent quite some time with Lawuer and had never felt this way.

It might have been because the Great Priest was a High Tier priest, which made her, a young Bloodline, feel guilty; or perhaps his offer to drink milk subconsciously reminded her of that crazy old hag at home, giving her a bit of PTSD.

In any case, after leaving the side hall, Charlotte felt much more relaxed and her entire demeanor eased considerably.
