The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch
Chapter 204 - "Playgirl" Great "Detective", Ciel (4/4)

What Ciel didn’t know was that it was precisely this cold and restrained appearance that further ignited Windsor’s perverted and twisted desire for control.

But Windsor at this moment seemed to have controlled her emotions very well.

Her heated gaze lingered on Ciel for about two seconds before turning to Avena. She said, “Avena, what have you thought about what I said just now?”

Avena looked at Windsor and said, “Thank you very much, Princess... but I have already agreed to attend Your Excellency Lucy’s promotion celebration dinner on the 25th. I’m afraid I won’t be able to host a banquet myself so quickly.”

“Lucy?”

Windsor paused for a moment, seemingly thinking. After a while, she seemed to remember something and said, “The soon-to-be Executive Director of Deton?”

“That’s right, Your Highness.”

Avena said. Her tone carried a slight hint of regret. “She helped me a lot when she was on a mission in Berren City.”

“Is that so...”

Windsor smiled and nodded. She said with some emotion, “Avena, you’ve changed a lot during the days you were away.”

“People always change, Your Highness.” Avena also replied with a smile.

“In that case, we’ll have to do it another day. Don’t worry, if you invite me, I will definitely attend.”

Windsor shook her head, seemingly not wanting to continue this topic.

Perhaps to change the subject, she looked in Ciel’s direction and asked with a smile, “Miss Ciel? You came to find Avena, didn’t you?”

From Windsor’s appearance, it seemed she was planning to stay and chat with Ciel.

“Yes, I came to Miss Avena for a mental healing session. My mental state has been a little poor recently.” Ciel replied.

Ciel’s mental state, if detected by transcendent means, was indeed terrible. Saying this was not a problem at all.

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Windsor became interested.

“If Miss Ciel doesn’t mind, you can come to my palace. I can invite a ‘Reborn’ from the Royal Medical Association to help Miss Ciel with her mental problems.”

Windsor narrowed her eyes, looking at Ciel, and invited her warmly.

Seeming to realize she was being a bit too enthusiastic, Windsor looked at Avena and said, “Avena, why don’t you come too? You’ve already advanced to ‘Psychiatrist,’ right? You can also exchange ideas and learn from a ‘Reborn’ from the Royal Medical Association.”

Windsor at this moment was acting like an enthusiastic and cheerful young girl inviting friends to her house.

But at this moment, only Ciel knew what was going on in Princess Windsor’s mind.

“Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness.”

Avena seemed to know Ciel would refuse. She said directly, “But I’m really not feeling well recently and need to rest.”

Just as Avena was waiting for Ciel to refuse, Ciel slowly said.

“Would the afternoon be alright, Your Highness Princess Windsor?”

Avena slightly raised her head, looking at Ciel with some surprise, seeming a little confused.

But Windsor didn’t notice anything unusual. She smiled brightly at Ciel and said, “Of course, it’s no problem. I’m free these next few days... What time would Miss Ciel like to come?”

“Would 4 PM be alright, Your Highness?”

Ciel slightly lowered her head and said, “My mental problem... I can’t put it off any longer.”

“Is it already that serious? Then you really need to have a ‘Reborn’ take a look... So, it’s decided. 4 PM.”

Windsor stood up and turned to look at Avena, saying with a smile, “I’ll be waiting for your invitation, Avena... Then I won’t interrupt your treatment. I’ll head back now.”

“Oh, by the way, there are a bit too many reporters downstairs. I also don’t want to cause any gossip... Avena, could you come down with me?”

Princess Windsor made this request.

In the simulation, Avena was also exposed to the public eye of nobles in Ansu, large and small, due to meeting Windsor, which led to reporters exposing her.

No wonder Windsor didn’t care if Avena invited her or not. It was highly likely that Windsor came precisely to expose Avena to the public eye.

As long as Avena went down and showed her face, her goal would be achieved.

“Okay.”

Avena also stood up. She looked at Ciel expressionlessly and said, “Please wait here, Miss Ciel.”

At this moment, Princess Windsor had also walked to the door. She looked back at Ciel and smiled, nodding. “See you tomorrow, Miss Ciel~”

Ciel stood up and slightly bowed. Only after Ciel and Avena left did she sit down again.

The reason Ciel agreed to visit Windsor at 4 PM was because the simulation would end at 6 PM.

If she couldn’t find anything in these ten-plus hours, then in the last two hours, Ciel could choose to directly enter Windsor Palace and interrogate Windsor, extracting information from her.

A mere Tier 1 “Butcher” couldn’t stop the current Ciel.

After about half an hour, Avena opened the door.

She closed the door, sat down opposite Ciel, picked up her cup, and took a sip of the red tea inside, but she didn’t say anything.

“What’s wrong, Avena?”

Noticing that Avena was in a bad mood at the moment, Ciel stood up, preparing to sit beside Avena.

But Avena directly put down her cup, stood up, walked to the desk, and sat down, seemingly not wanting to pay attention to Ciel at all.

However... if she truly didn’t want to pay attention to her, she wouldn’t have returned to the room.

Seeing Avena’s reaction, Ciel probably guessed what was bothering Avena. She walked to Avena’s side, sat on her lap, looked into Avena’s dark blue eyes, and asked, “Are you jealous?”

“No.” Avena said expressionlessly. “Why didn’t you tell me you drank a potion.”

Earlier, when Ciel drank a potion by herself in the simulation, Avena would only be slightly surprised. She wouldn’t have this kind of reaction at all... She was definitely jealous.

Ciel leaned forward slightly and whispered in Avena’s ear, “Windsor’s visit this time is likely at Forte’s instruction. I went to investigate her secrets... Forte has invested a lot in her, unlike the typical feelings of a father towards his daughter.”

“...I said I’m not jealous.”

Avena was still being stubborn, but her flushed earlobe betrayed her feelings at this moment.

Ciel extended her right hand and gently brushed aside Avena’s black hair that was hanging over her shoulder, revealing Avena’s fair shoulder and delicate collarbone. She slowly lowered her head and gently bit Avena’s shoulder.

“Can you heal me now, Miss Avena?”

The missing one-tenth of sensibility from “Assassin” and “Detective” seemed to have all been added to flirting.

Avena felt the warm breath and tingling sensation on her shoulder. Her brain felt like it was buzzing a little.

What’s happening... Ciel is sitting on my lap. Isn’t my position the more dominant one...?

Just as Avena was hesitating whether to put her arm around Ciel’s waist, Ciel had already stood up directly and raised her hand to rub her head.

“The great ‘Detective’ is going out to gather intelligence. See you tomorrow morning, my dear.”
