Charlotte and Count Gaston once again took their seats at the tavern's negotiation table.
However, the Transcendents ambushed by the forces of the Tulip Count Domain had been utterly annihilated, and the Gaston father and son were securely bound with magic prohibition chains.
Charlotte sat leisurely in a round wooden armchair with her legs crossed, her back facing the large hole blasted into the tavern wall when Sebastian had unleashed his Elemental Burst. In her hands, she held a parchment scroll that contained the records from her recent interrogation of Count Gaston.
As for the Gaston father and son... aside from being completely restrained, their mouths were stuffed with two pairs of white gloves by Sebastian, and they were staring at her with eyes wide open, filled with terror.
