When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 142
“I understood what you said too.”
Charlotte replied. She had assumed Maleblanc would swallow the royal family whole using primitive methods, but if he intended to manipulate people subtly—as he had when he was “Crest Morren”—then Matiel’s opinion was certainly worth considering.
“Anything else?”
Matiel spoke, glancing briefly down at Count Holen, who was now a corpse. Charlotte also lowered her gaze, biting gently on her lips.
“In my opinion, this doesn’t seem like Maleblanc’s doing. No… even if it’s not necessarily Maleblanc, it doesn’t feel like the work of a vampire.”
Matiel raised an eyebrow and furrowed his brow.
“Why do you think that?”
“Well… first of all, the wounds and the state of the body are too messy to be typical vampire marks. They’re disorganized, sloppy.”
“You mean it should be cleaner?”
“You saw it yourself. Those attacked by vampires aren’t left like this—with flesh torn raggedly apart. Look at the wound on the neck. Though there’s a clear mark from sharp fangs, the surrounding flesh is torn away. I’m no expert on vampires, so I can’t say for certain that ‘vampire victims are always left neat and tidy.’ But based on all the cases we’ve seen so far, this line of reasoning isn’t unreasonable.”
Matiel recalled the photos of corpses he’d seen in newspapers and the vampires he’d encountered in Elikie. Even those who had recently turned into vampires and lost their sanity bore clear bite marks on one side of the neck—but none had blood splattered everywhere like Count Holen’s body, unless the reanimated vampire had taken a shower afterward.
Rubbing his jaw and frowning, Matiel spoke.
“If what you say is true, then this case just became far more complicated.”
Charlotte unconsciously nodded, her lips pressing tightly inward.
“Exactly. If this wasn’t done by a vampire, then it must have been committed by a human. Someone murdered Count Holen—in the most brutal way possible.”

Matiel was somewhat reluctant, but ultimately agreed to spend the night at Willa
Matiel is behaving childishly regarding Willa & her ‘using tricks’ to survive. Staring away from his host and refusing to engage in conversation? That’s ridiculous behavior.

Could someone be trying to frame the crown prince?
“…Your Highness Adonion.”
Yes, kill the vampire before it reveals it’s secrets. This guy is still suspicious. The easiest way to avoid being seen as a suspect is to become a victim.
