Charlotte didn't know that she had been targeted by the Fallen Star Royal Family.
After attending the banquet and making an appointment with Yurst on a meeting place the next day, Charlotte left the Roman Palace.
After returning to the hotel where she was staying, Charlotte immediately received a report from the accompanying maid.
The black dragon maid Eudosia came back and was waiting for her in the room.
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
This must be further progress in the tracking and positioning of the magic guide.
She nodded, ordered her entourage not to disturb him for the time being, and then returned to her room.
"Lord Charlotte."
The black dragon Eudocia, who was staring at the decorative paintings on the wall in the room, saw Charlotte pushing the door open and walked in. She quickly stood up and saluted.
Charlotte nodded slightly and asked:
"Have you got any clues about the tracking of the magic device?"
Eudosia nodded:
"Well, I took advantage of tonight's palace banquet to further explore the city of Roang and found that the location of the magic device was sensitive again."
Charlotte's heart moved:
"Where exactly is the location?"
Eudosia shook her head:
"This is exactly what I want to report to you. The location has changed again this time. At first, it was in the church in the city, then disappeared for a while, then appeared near the altar in the square, and finally at the beginning of the banquet After that, he appeared in the Roman Palace."
After hearing her words, Charlotte was a little surprised and raised her eyebrows:
"Change all of a sudden? Is this really going to change places back and forth?"
Eudocia nodded in acquiescence, and at the same time added:
"However, the last location sensed by the magic device was the Roman Palace, and...from the beginning of the banquet to the end of the banquet, and even after the banquet ended until I left, the location did not change again."
"After comparison, I found that the change in positioning seems to be consistent with the whereabouts of the Roman royal family. When it is positioned in the church, it happens to be when the Roman royal family visits the Rohan church; when it is positioned in the square, it happens to be the Roman royal family at the altar. When rehearsing in front of the palace; when it was positioned at the palace, it happened to be when the Roman royal family’s banquet was held..."
"I suspect... this positioning is for a certain noble of the Roman royal family."
"However, the Roman Palace is heavily guarded and has powerful protective magic. Although I had some speculation, I did not investigate in depth."
"Is it located on someone from the Roman royal family...Prince Henry? Or...a certain nobleman next to him?"
Charlotte mused.
She thought about it, and through the servant contract, she contacted a certain black cat who was getting close to the front desk lady and the hotel maid in the hotel lobby, and ordered in its mind:
"Nice, come up to me."
In the hotel lobby, Nice, who was performing a talent under the watch of the front desk lady and maid, suddenly stiffened and his movements were slightly sluggish.
"Your Excellency Nice, why don't you continue? Continue!"
the hotel maid asked with a starry face.
Facing the expectant looks of the little maids, Nice felt a little regretful.
It laughed dryly and sighed:
"Sisters, Nice suddenly has something important to do. After that, I will come and play with you sisters."
"Hey... this is the treatment of a former celebrity!"
Speaking to the maids who were confused and had no clear meaning, Nice shook his head and fled with a stern look on his face.
Twisting its fat body, it ran to the second floor.
Pushing open Charlotte's door, Nice immediately put on a flattering smile, stuck out his butt, raised his tail, and ran towards Charlotte meowing:
"Meow, meow, meow! Great Lady Charlotte! Are you looking for Nice Meow? I'm so hot! Meow~!"
However, when it saw that Charlotte was not the only one in the room, but also Eudosia who knew its true identity, its expression quickly froze.
It coughed twice in embarrassment, and no longer acted in a flattering and cute manner, but said seriously:
"Ahem, uh... Well, it turns out that Your Excellency Eudocia is here too."
Eudosia glanced at it with a strange look, as if she didn't expect that the most talented legendary mage in the human world actually had such a side.
Nice looked away unnaturally.
Looking at Nice, who was not yet thick-skinned enough to completely ignore society, Charlotte laughed dumbly. She waved to him and said:
"Nice, come here, Eudocia has made some new discoveries."
Under Charlotte's instruction, Eudocia quickly told the story about the location of the magic device again.
After hearing her words, Nice frowned and fell into deep thought:
"Will the positioning move?"
It pondered for a while and said uncertainly:
"Interesting, could it be that... it was made into some kind of magic prop that opens a different space?"
"Oh? What do you think?"
Charlotte asked calmly.
Nice considered his words and replied respectfully:
"Lord Charlotte, I am very confident in my magic device. Since I have sensed it, the alien space where Roman's Sword is sealed, or more accurately, the entrance to the Ancient Temple, must be in the city of Roang. somewhere!"
"As for why the location keeps changing, there is also a possibility that the passage connecting the ancient palace and the present world was built into some kind of magical device similar to a 'door'."
"And this door...should be carried by someone."
Having said this, he seemed to think of something, and Nice clicked his tongue:
"Tsk, it seems... the Roman royal family should not only plan to conduct the ancestor recognition ceremony!"
"I have participated in this ceremony several times hundreds of years ago. During the ceremony, the projection of Roman's sword will appear on its own to help Roman's descendants purify their blood. There is no need for humans to enter the sealed space."
"Now that the 'door' has appeared, are you trying to destroy the seal?"
Charlotte's heart moved:
"You mean, the Roman royal family has ideas about the Roman sword itself?"
"I don't rule out this possibility, although it is very bold."
Ness said.
Charlotte mused.
She thought for a while and asked:
"Will this affect the plans of the Ness clan and me?"
Nice shook his head:
"It's hard to say. Rumor has it that Roman's Sword is a very arrogant divine sword that values power above all else. Even myths can't get enough of it."
"In the past, the Blood Demon Archduke in his heyday tried to subjugate the half-elf hero Romanus after his death, but he only received a burst of ridicule from him. He who was hiding in a different space was the master of the different space, even if it was a blood demon. Even the Demon Grand Duke can do nothing."
"I think...even if the sealed alien space is opened, the Roman royal family will most likely just be humiliated."
"Not to mention, I'm not even sure whether it can open a different space."
"It's just that who knows what the Roman family's trump card is. After all, they are the descendants of Romanus."
"However, even if the seal is opened, I'm afraid it will have to wait until the ancestors' approval ceremony is completed. After all... it's not even approved, let alone trying to enter the sealing place of Roman's Sword."
After listening to Nice's words, Charlotte nodded:
"I see."
To be honest, after hearing so many descriptions, she was quite curious about Roman's Sword. If the seal was really opened, maybe she could join in the fun.
No, it should be said that it is better to open the sealed space.
In this case, it would be easier for her to obtain the faceless statue.
However, her power is not even comparable to that of the half-asleep Blood Demon Archduke. As for conquering Roman's Sword, there is no hope.
"Lord Charlotte, if you also want to enter the sealed space, you have to wait for the Roman family to open the seal. Since they are prepared, I think they should be certain. You will also participate in the ceremony. , I think... once the door to space is opened, you will definitely be able to easily establish contact with it and travel through it."
Nice analyzed.
After hearing its words, Charlotte nodded slightly:
"I see."
As she said that, she glanced at Nice:
"Tomorrow, you and I will go to the ritual darkroom agreed with the Ness clan."
Nice's smile froze.
"Meow! Lady Charlotte! Can Nice not go? Yurst will definitely be there by then! Nice doesn't want to see him!"
Nice jumped up in shock and shook his head quickly.
Charlotte glanced at it:
"My underwear has been taken off a long time ago. Are you still afraid of being embarrassed?"
Nice:…
"Lord Charlotte! This... Nice can still be your substitute! Nice has much more experience as your substitute. No one could recognize you when you were asleep last time!"
"Meow! You don't really trust the substitute prepared by the Ness clan for you, do you? They're not familiar with you, so they don't act like you!"
Nice said again.
Charlotte glanced at it:
"But the Roman royal family is not familiar with me either. Even if I don't look like me, they probably won't notice."
"Not to mention, I asked you to follow me to make things easier. After all... you know more about the Ancient Palace than I do now."
Hearing Charlotte's approval, Nice was a little embarrassed, but when he thought that he would inevitably run into Yurst, he suddenly became depressed again.
Charlotte continued:
"But... what you said makes sense. I really don't trust the substitutes prepared by the Ness clan, but I don't care about whether their substitutes look like them, but whether they are strong enough to hold the scene."
"Since Roman's Sword is involved, it is full of variables. Even a substitute must be able to deal with crises."
After hearing Charlotte's words, Nice's heart moved:
"Meow! What you're saying is that you already have a candidate, right?"
Charlotte nodded slightly:
"exactly."
As she said that, she used the Blood Servant Contract to communicate with an unlucky guy from the Shedite clan, and ordered in her mind and reality at the same time:
"Albrecht, come to me quickly."
After a while, the windows of the room opened on their own, cold wind blew through, and strange black mist gathered from all directions and concentrated in the center of the room.
The black mist continued to condense and finally turned into a human form.
It is Albrecht, the third dark apostle who has both demonic and vampire attributes.
Eudosia and Nice also noticed the sudden appearance of a figure in the room.
Eudosia's eyes were slightly sharp, and she subconsciously bared her teeth in a vigilant attack posture, with black dragon scales vaguely appearing on her body.
This is a natural reaction after feeling the approach of a strong person.
Nice isn't much better.
When the black mist appeared, he was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he jumped up and hid behind Charlotte:
"Meow?! The third dark apostle... Albrecht?!"
Charlotte was a little surprised:
"You know him?"
"Meow! Why don't you recognize him! It's an old face that has been on the wanted list of the Crescent Kingdom for hundreds of years!"
Nice said with a wary expression.
Of course, its vigilance did not last long, because it soon discovered that the other party was quite respectful to Charlotte.
No, the other party was summoned by Charlotte from the beginning...
In Nice's surprised eyes, Albrecht knelt down on one knee respectfully and performed an ancient blood ritual to Charlotte:
"Great Lord Count Castel, your humble servant Albrecht is here at your summons."
Nice:…
It looked at Charlotte, then at Albrecht, its eyes widened slightly, with an incredible expression.
Good guy...
When did His Majesty the True Ancestor take advantage of the Blood Demon Archduke?
This is the Dark Apostle!
He is also the third oldest Dark Apostle of the Blood Demon Order!
Is it... the incident in Lutecia a while ago?
Charlotte did notice that Albrecht was wary of Nice and Eudocia after he appeared.
She nodded slightly and said:
"Get up, these two are also my followers and know my identity, so there is no need to worry."
After hearing Charlotte's words, Albrecht breathed a sigh of relief.
He hesitated and asked cautiously:
"Your Majesty True Ancestor, what do you... need Albrecht to do?"
"Albrecht, what are your levels of illusion magic of the spiritual way and transformation magic of the wild way?"
Charlotte asked.
Albrecht thought for a while and answered honestly:
"It's not bad. It's not as good as the senior Selem clan and Valdrat clan, but it's still better than the average legend."
Charlotte is very satisfied:
"Not bad, enough."
"Your Majesty, True Ancestor, is there any mission that requires you to disguise your identity?"
Albrecht asked.
Charlotte nodded:
"Tomorrow's ancestor recognition ceremony, I need you to participate as my substitute."
"My other follower Eudocia will accompany me as a helper. Her true form is a black dragon. She has almost no opponents under the legend. If any accident really happens, she can take action. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not act rashly. Take action and break the pretense.”
Albrecht was stunned for a moment, then glanced thoughtfully at Nice and Eudocia beside him, nodded, and said obediently:
"I see."
"Also...bring this with you."
Charlotte thought for a while and said again.
With that said, she communicated with the Blood Sacred Scripture and used the ability of [Demon Summoning].
The divine power of blood circulated, Charlotte waved gently, a red light bloomed in the room, and a strange red magic circle appeared on the ground.
Albrecht and others' eyelids twitched wildly.
Especially Nice, her eyes widened at the first sight:
"Evil...Devil Summoning Array?!"
Albrecht was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly realized something, with a wonderful expression on his face.
He raised his head and looked at Charlotte with complicated eyes, which became more and more fearful.
Magic power surged, and strong winds surged in the room.
When everything calmed down, the red light also dissipated, and a middle demon with two wings on its back appeared in front of everyone, and its whole body was like a constantly changing black shadow.
This is a shadow demon.
It bared its teeth and claws, growling at everyone, but after Charlotte's faint glance, it suddenly became quiet, trembling, and knelt down towards her.
"Tomorrow I will also perform a ritual. I will temporarily close the spiritual dialogue and bring it with me. If necessary, contact me through it."
Charlotte said to Albrecht.
