Chapter 54

"Awake?"

It was Charlotte's voice.

When Lucifer came to, she found herself inside a tent. The air smelled of earth and grass, and several sets of men's clothes lay in one corner.

Lucifer quickly determined that this tent belonged to the woodsman she had seen before losing consciousness. As for why Charlotte was here, it was not difficult to figure out.

In her injured state, after rolling down the hillside, she could not have gone far. Charlotte had searched all the way here and eventually found her. There was nothing strange about that.

At least she had encountered a good person. Lucifer could not help mocking herself inwardly. Of course, as a nun from a monastery, if she was not a good person, Holy Mother Maria's coffin lid probably would not be able to stay shut.

After waking, Lucifer said nothing. She merely turned her face and studied Charlotte. There was no doubt that, in her current condition, it would be difficult for her to do anything.

Even sending word to Caroline and having her dispatch people to retrieve her seemed somewhat dangerous. If those demons who had submitted to her power learned that the Queen of Hell had become like this...
