Chapter 76 - Chapter 76: Visitation of the White Beauty

Charlotte Flampe had seen something, yet her mother ignored her.

"Did I really see wrong?" Flampe stormed out of the castle, feeling frustrated. She wondered if she had truly seen something, but she had clearly seen the white hat outside the courtyard going in the direction of her mothers castle..

"No, someone with a white hat must have passed by. Are those bastard siblings playing me?" Flampe was completely cute, angry, and stubborn.

"Chess soldiers! Quickly check if there is anyone with a white hat!" She turned her head angrily towards the chess soldiers.

"Yes Miss Flampe..." The chess soldier hung his head low, but he was conscientious.

"Ugh, I wanna go to sleep." Flampe yawned. "I don't know what kind of person interrupted my nap. Now I have to go back all the way again and get my beauty nap, otherwise my beautiful skin will get ruined and it won't be pleasant."

Back inside, there was nothing unusual. The sun was perfect, the wind was beautiful, everything was normal, and the white hat did not appear again. Flampe was more certain that a certain brother or sister was tricking her.

Night was approaching. "Hum hum..." Flampe hummed a pleasant tune, preparing for the dessert for the next day during the night.

"Tomorrow I will surprise Brother Katakuri and let all the siblings vote that I am the cutest sister." Flampe imagined surpassing the younger sisters in the future, and couldn't help but lift the corners of her mouth.

*Tuk-tuk.*

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"Eh? Why would someone come to visit so late?" Flampe was surprised.

"It's me," a hoarse, deep male voice sounded outside the door. It was Katakuri's voice!

"Why is Brother Katakuri coming to see me so late?" Flampe immediately recognized her brother's voice, floated to the door, and smiled upon reaching the door.

"Po-po-po-po…" However, just as Flampe pressed the handle to open the door, a strange laugh came from the door. Flampe had heard this sound before! It's the sound she heard when the white hat appeared this afternoon.

"Eh, it turns out that Brother Katakuri scared me this afternoon. I'm angry and won't open the door for you!" Flampe pouted and simply floated away to her work, simply not opening the door to Katakuri outside.

*Bang Bang Bang.*

The supposed Katakuri outside the door continued to knock.

*Bang Bang Bang.*

Katakuri was very persistent, knocking again and again, with the same interval each time.

"Brother Katakuri isn't apologizing to me..." Flampe pouted in anger.

"Po-po-po-po..." Outside the door, the strange sound sounded again! Flampe was stunned. The anger that had fumed within her dissipated and she calmed down.

Something was wrong! Flampe knew Katakuri's character. Not to mention his cold attitude, but he definitely wouldn't fool her using a woman's hat. And this kind of sound... Why could Brother Katakuri make this kind of noise? Someone is pretending to be her brother!

"Who is it?!" Flampe's eyebrows were upturned, and she slowly approached the door, trying to make the bastard pretending to be Katakuri outside the door wait.

But as soon as she approached the door... the door suddenly opened from the outside! The cold moonlight spilled in.

At that moment, Flampe's eyes widened! It wasn't Katakuri on the other side of the door, not even someone from the Charlotte family. It was a figure of a tall, eerie woman! With long floaty hair, pearl like complexion, white dress, and a sun hat, elegance and horror in one!

What's even more terrifying is that she is obviously tall, taller than the entire door, but there is no shadow on the ground...

"Po-po-po-po..." The tall woman in a white dress opened her mouth and let out a strange low sound.

Flampe's scalp tingled with fear! Regretfully, Flampe's scream was never heard.

A gust of wind blew.

*Squeak...*

The door swayed gently, the moonlight shone, but there was no one in the room.

Edit: honestly was a bit confused here, hopefully i made it more understandable.
