I learned a new technique in Chapter 12.
The splattered blood was scalding hot, but it thickened immediately after cooling, causing unbearable itching wherever it touched.
At first, the other party would struggle violently, but as blood was lost, it became a powerless resistance, and then only slight twitching and spasms remained.
The body temperature dissipated, and the skin faded to a creamy color.
Aure collapsed into the shallow stream, panting heavily, her pupils trembling.
She was so terrified that she wanted to scream, but found that she couldn't make a sound.
"I don't want to kill anyone," Aure thought, shaking her head. "At least I don't want to kill him."
Looking at the soldiers before her, who had been reduced from humans to mere chunks of flesh, Aure couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.
After leaving the library, she disguised herself as an obese middle-aged man.
Miss Catherine's skill allowed her to impersonate anyone without fear of being discovered.
However, her figure was too extreme, so if she wanted to play a man, she could only pretend to be fat.
The trade-off is that the clothes worn close to the skin absorb too much sweat, causing excessive discomfort from friction.
Therefore, she desperately wanted to take a bath.
Unexpectedly, he was discovered by a passing soldier while bathing in the stream.
The other person removed their protective gear as they ran towards Aure.
He eventually tackled Aure to the bottom of the stream, but the cool water couldn't wash away his burning heat.
In a moment of desperation, Aure reached for the dagger at the other person's waist and, before the other person could react, plunged the dagger into their body.
After reviewing everything, Aure looked up. The sky was clear, but rain was falling on her face.
"I must be strong," Aure comforted herself, fearing that a murderer could not seek revenge.
It was the soldier who first harbored lustful thoughts, so it was perfectly justifiable for Aurelia to kill him.
Let's treat this as a rehearsal before revenge.
Aure stood up from the stream, her breathing and expression becoming calm.
She looked at the mass of flesh again, and then walked toward it.
Since we've already killed someone, we might as well make use of it.
Aure pulled the dagger from the soldier's abdomen and removed the rest of his clothes.
Then, he began to carefully cut off the other person's face with a dagger.
Mr. Mosley categorized the peculiar abilities hidden within "Catherine's Amorous Travels" into three levels.
The first paragraph is an imitation.
Catherine detailed her superb imitation techniques, which allow users to completely transform into another person through makeup, learning voice and behavioral details.
This skill requires talent, but others can also master some of it if they study and practice diligently.
Aurée's daughter Natalie is doing well in the role and especially enjoys playing the role of a boy.
As for the latter two levels, Mr. Mosley said they belong to the extraordinary category, and without talent, one cannot even begin to enter them.
Furthermore, because of some Monster Hunters, Oribe was unwilling to let her daughter come into contact with them.
The second segment features a body double.
It can use the other person's skin or a specially made replica to transform into their appearance.
The third section is about possession.
By simply drinking the other person's blood, one can learn about their personality, way of speaking, and even habitual actions that they themselves are unaware of.
In other words, you can completely become the other person.
The book also introduces leather-making techniques.
But this was Aurelia's first attempt, and when she looked at the severed skin, she herself hadn't expected it to turn out so well.
Then, Aure accidentally saw the corpse's head and vomited up everything in her stomach.
Aurée washed the blood and fat off her hands in the stream, then placed the man's face on her own.
She was surprised to find that her skin could actively attract foreign substances.
This is probably a physiological instinct that developed after fully mastering Miss Catherine's skills.
Aure put on a soldier's uniform, squeezing her impressive figure into the bulky protective gear.
Hmm, I can't tell.
If the deceased's blood were not unusable for "possession," Aure would have forced herself to drink it to avoid revealing her identity.
That way, her disguise would be even more perfect.
Before becoming a wanted criminal, Aurélie was a duke's wife, and before that, the daughter of another duke.
Therefore, she only needed to look at the stamp on the soldier's protective gear to know her identity.
Aurée became a regular soldier under Count Montero.
Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting; my current identity is perfect for gathering intelligence.
Aurée knew very little about the current Earl of Montero, but he seemed to have a stunningly beautiful daughter who was only two years older than Natalie.
By now, she should be fifteen years old.
Aurée, now a soldier, returned to Count Montero's castle and joined the city's defenses.
The following night, Aure and two other soldiers were on duty on the arrow tower.
To reduce the risk of being discovered, Aure avoided speaking as much as possible.
The other two officers on duty started chatting about various things.
"I heard the Queen has died."
Thank goodness.
"Everyone in the Montero Hills knows this: the king's second wife is none other than our young lady."
"The captain said the engagement is already set and she will be brought to the palace next month. I never imagined that Miss Rosa would become queen at the age of fifteen. I feel so lucky for her."
"Fortunately, our lord, though only an earl, was able to marry into the royal family..."
Aure had no interest in listening to the rest of the conversation.
The king killed her husband and son, so she wanted to kill the king.
Therefore, she had to find a way to get close to the king.
But now, Aure saw a golden opportunity.
If I could obtain the face of that woman named Rosa and take her place in the palace, wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity to get close to the king?
But Rosa is innocent.
The thought that "those who kill cannot seek revenge" suddenly surfaced in Aure's mind.
She gritted her teeth, as if biting her own conscience, and decided to kill Rosa and take her identity.
The next day, Aure began to keep an eye on Rosa's movements.
After the count's banquet, Auré discovered that Rosa had secretly slipped out of the banquet hall and headed towards a deserted corner.
This is an opportunity, so Aure quickly followed.
Rosa went into the woodshed, while Aure stood at the door.
Fearing that the killer could not seek revenge, Aure gripped the hilt of the longsword at her waist.
Just as she was about to push the door open, she heard voices coming from inside.
Hmm? Are there other people inside?
We must not be careless.
Aulet lowered her arm, then went into the adjacent storage room and peered through a crack in the wall to observe the situation on the other side.
Then, she saw positions she had never tried with her husband before.
Aurée recognized the man; he was the singer hired by the count.
Haha! Karma!
Aurelia felt a surge of satisfaction when her enemy's fiancée had a tryst with a singer.
Just as Aure was pondering a solution, the door to the woodshed was pushed open.
Entering was Rosa's mother, the Countess of Montero Hills.
"My God...you lowly, lewd donkey, you even dared to...with my daughter..."
The Countess was furious and wanted to seize the singer and bring him to the Count.
However, the singer picked up a machete from the side and slashed it into the countess's neck.
Rosa screamed in terror, and the singer, seemingly thrown into confusion, collapsed into the pile of firewood.
Aurelia was equally shocked, but she knew that now was not the time to be shocked.
She forced herself to take a deep breath to calm herself down.
Once this incident attracts the attention of others, it will be too late for Aurelia to do anything.
Aure quickly went to the next room, drew her longsword, and pointed the tip at the man and woman.
The weight of the iron sword made her arms, which were that of a woman, ache.
Her arrival instantly silenced the woodshed.
Aure closed the door; with just two sword strikes, she could complete the plan she had previously devised.
Those who fear killing cannot seek revenge.
Besides, these two deserved their punishment.
However, Aure has a more perfect plan in mind right now.
She spoke in a male voice:
"If the king finds out that his fiancée is having an affair with the singer, you all know what your fate will be, without me having to say it."
Upon hearing this, Rosa and the singer immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging Aurée to forgive them and not to tell anyone.
Of course, Aulet wouldn't make a fuss about it; instead, she said:
"Let me help you!"
The two helpless individuals grasped at a last straw, placing unwavering faith in Aure.
Aurée cut off the Countess's face skin and then used it to copy Rosa's face, creating a replica of Rosa's appearance.
Then, Aure drank Rosa's blood.
Aurée said to the two of them:
"I will take you out of the city. You must take the lady's body with you and find a secluded place to bury her. If the Earl discovers that she has been murdered, it will only worsen your crimes. You will be wanted by the authorities, so find a remote village to live out the rest of your lives in peace."
Blinded by fear, the two could only nod and continue according to Aure's plan. Once they started, they couldn't stop.
Aure used her position as a soldier to let the two of them leave.
Her plan succeeded.
Three years ago, Aurée was one of the most distinguished ladies in the kingdom, so she understood the mindset of these noble men better than most.
If his wife is murdered, Count Montero will not hesitate to issue a warrant for the murderer.
But now, the Countess's body has been taken away, the singer has disappeared, and Aurelia will stay in the castle in Rosa's place.
How will the Earl assess the current situation?
His wife eloped with a singer.
Therefore, he would naturally be concerned about his reputation and would not choose to issue a warrant for their arrest, but would instead hire servants to hunt them down privately.
This greatly reduces the chances of Rosa and the singer being caught.
If Aure chooses to kill them, the three corpses in the woodshed will actually make things more difficult for her.
Therefore, this is undoubtedly the best strategy under the current circumstances.
After tonight, Aure will be the King's fiancée, Rosa Montero.
Those who fear killing cannot seek revenge.
Auleta was already eagerly anticipating her wedding night.
