How a Wicked Woman Raises a Child

Charlotte Blanche has been called a sinister young lady, a cursed wench.

“Did you come to me to frame me as a warlock from the beginning?”

“As a saint of the Empire, it is my role to rid of all unclean things, including black magic.”

Not only was she accused of being born under the curse of a warlock, but she was even betrayed by the Saintess she trusted as her friend.

Charlotte leaves for the North to get her mind off things.

“Mom, hold me tight.”

There, she gradually brightens up after meeting a child abandoned in the forest, and wants to adopt her as her own.

“I’m cursed anyway, so it’s impossible for me to be bonded to someone. So please… use me as your means.”

And Ash Balian, Lord of the North, said he would stay by Charlotte and Aria’s side and protect them.

“Aria’s white hair is like yours, and her blue eyes are like mine. So… I don’t mind us being mistaken for a married couple.”

To make matters worse, Theodore, the Holy Knight Commander, returns from the front lines and confesses his long-held feelings to his childhood friend, Charlotte.
