The night passed quickly.
The ancestral recognition ceremony of Roman Sword has finally arrived.
Early in the morning, the hotel where Charlotte stayed became busy. The waiters and maids were in a hurry, preparing for the guests' departure.
This is the best hotel in Roang City, and most of the people living here are nobles attending today's ceremony.
Charlotte also got up early.
However, she did not wear the aristocratic dress that she usually wears when attending ceremonies. Instead, she put on a maid outfit common in aristocratic families. Even her appearance was covered up by Nice's magic, making her look much more ordinary.
She was the honored guest at today's ceremony. According to Yurst, not only would the distinguished guest be transported in a special carriage, but her seat would also be in the most eye-catching position of the auditorium, close to the main seats, making it the focus of the entire audience.
Not only that, it is said that the VIP seats are even protected by solidified magic barriers set up by legendary mage. It may not be able to withstand the real legend, but under the legend, there is no chance of causing trouble.
Although Charlotte doesn't take the so-called magic barrier to heart if she uses the power of blood, the possibility of her identity being exposed will also increase.
If you really attend the ceremony, the difficulty of changing your identity will definitely increase a lot.
Therefore, after in-depth exchanges with Yurst, the two decided not to go to the VIP desk at all, but to switch packages directly when setting off from the hotel.
After looking at herself in the mirror and confirming that it would be difficult for Sebastian to recognize her identity even if he came, Charlotte nodded with satisfaction.
Then, she turned back and looked at the other "Charlotte".
"Charlotte" is quite beautiful today.
"She" is wearing an exquisite light blue dress, the color is like the sky, dotted with elf-style starry sky patterns, which is gorgeous and bright, giving people a sense of tranquility and dreaminess, highlighting the young girl's figure At the same time, it also reveals a hint of maturity that is about to bloom.
However, "Charlotte's" expression is not so natural.
Although she tried to remain elegant and reserved as much as possible, her slightly twitching body still showed that "she" was quite uncomfortable wearing this outfit.
Especially when "she" glanced at the maid Shirley who was picking up the perfume and spraying it around, her expression was quite stiff.
"Charlotte" is of course Albrecht who has disguised his identity.
Don't tell me, this guy's transformation magic is really not good at all. Even Charlotte herself can't tell whether he is real or fake without using the power of blood.
It's just that Albrecht's expression was really awkward, and the way he looked at the dress he was wearing was quite disgusting.
Charlotte felt a little funny, as if she had seen herself who had just traveled through time.
"Be natural, Your Excellency, Earl of Castel, you are the lord of the North, a noble lady who has been trained in orthodox etiquette."
Charlotte laughed.
"Charlotte's" expression became even stiffer.
"She" put on an unnatural smile and said somewhat depressedly:
"Xia...Ms. Charlotte, there is no need to even change the clothes into real ones, right? And the perfume... I can just use magic to transform these things."
"This is not okay. It's a full show. After all, the VIP seats are equipped with legendary level magic. It's okay to just transform into a body. If you even transform into a costume, there is still a risk of being discovered."
Charlotte tilted her little head and smiled.
Albrecht:…
humiliation……
What a humiliation!
He is the dignified third dark apostle, a high-ranking member of the Blood Demon Order, a legendary blood descendant who makes the Crescent Kingdom tremble when he stamps his feet, but he even has to wear women's clothing!
"What? Are you unhappy?"
Charlotte glanced at him and said with a smile.
Albrecht froze.
He quickly stopped his thoughts and forced out a somewhat difficult smile:
"How...how could it be? Even if I don't adapt, since it is your order, I will definitely work hard to complete it..."
"Well, that's right, and... what did you just call me?"
"Xia... no, Miss Maid."
"Well, that's not bad."
After training Albrecht in a few words, Charlotte looked at the time:
"It's almost time, let's go downstairs."
After packing their things, the group came to the reception room in the hotel lobby.
Yurst is already waiting here.
When he saw Albrecht, his eyes lit up with a flash of surprise.
Arriving in front of "Charlotte", he greeted slightly and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty Count Castel, you look so beautiful today."
As he spoke, he looked around and asked in a low voice:
"But... where is the substitute you agreed on?"
Looking at Yurst who came closer, Albrecht frowned, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
"Stay away from me, your rose-scented perfume is smelling to me."
He said coldly, even using his original voice.
Yurst suddenly froze and jumped two meters away:
"M...man?!"
Seeing the startled Yurst, Charlotte, who was dressed as a maid, couldn't help laughing.
She cleared her throat slightly and said in her original voice:
"Your Excellency Yurst, I am here, that is my substitute."
Yurst's eyes suddenly widened.
He looked at Charlotte carefully, then at Albrecht, rubbed his eyes and looked at it for a while, and even directly used the vampire's spiritual sense to detect, but he didn't find any loopholes for a long time.
"Awesome, Mr. Castel, where did you find such a professional stand-in?"
He circled around Albrecht and marveled.
As he spoke, he frowned again:
"That's the voice...it sounds familiar."
Albrecht immediately fell silent and looked away.
Charlotte smiled and warned:
"When you go to the ceremony, remember to change the voice to mine."
Albrecht paused and nodded.
Seeing this substitute, he didn't want to reveal his identity, and Yurst didn't care either.
With such superb illusion magic, I am afraid that he is a senior magician himself, and his strength is probably not weak.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Charlotte.
To be able to let a powerful magician disguise himself as a woman, this young earl's background is indeed profound.
However, considering the adult behind Castel, Yurst suddenly felt that all this was normal.
"Your Excellency Castel, for a moment... we will split into two groups. Your substitute will take the royal carriage to the ceremony site, and you will go to the square with me as an on-site staff member. Someone will pick you up at that time. , take you directly to the underground darkroom where you will participate in the ceremony."
Yurst said.
Charlotte nodded slightly:
"I understand. I will act with you. As for my substitute, my maid Eudocia will accompany me."
"O...Eudosiya?"
Yurst was stunned for a moment.
He looked up and found the black dragon maid hidden in the darkness, and his eyes widened:
"Your Excellency Eudocia?!"
He was no stranger to Eudocia, after all... He and Sebas had fought with each other in Baron Leglis.
Recognizing Eudosia's identity at this moment, Yurst's expression became even more exciting.
Especially after thinking about what Charlotte said just now...
Eudosia... is actually Count Castel's maid!
The True Ancestor is on top!
Didn't that black dragon surrender to the True Ancestor?
How did she become Lord Castel's maid?
What is the relationship between Mr. Castel and His Majesty the True Ancestor?
I have to say that at this moment, Yurst felt a little sour inexplicably.
Since he became the True Ancestor's blood dependent, he has been helping the True Ancestor to find seeds within the Nes clan, asking for information, and running back and forth to do various things for the True Ancestor, but he I have never received such treatment!
Although I know that Count Castell is the representative of the True Ancestor, but... isn't this too pampering?
Yurst had to admit.
At this moment, he felt more or less envious and jealous.
Looking at Charlotte with complicated eyes, Yurst sighed in his heart:
Compared to two thousand years ago, the True Ancestor Mian not only had a much gentler personality, but also seemed to have become more generous.
Even the conquered dragons will be given to subordinates!
This is a black dragon!
A real black dragon!
Not those subspecies that only have Dragonborn bloodline!
I really don’t know when Yurst will get such treatment...
Looking at Yurst's somewhat complicated eyes, Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she guessed that he might have misunderstood.
She smiled slightly and said:
"Your Excellency Yurst, the eyes of the gods are always watching everything. Those who work hard will not be treated badly."
After hearing Charlotte's words, Yurst froze slightly, his expression a little embarrassed.
He looked at Charlotte, took a deep breath, and put on an elegant and decent smile again:
"I understand, Lord Castel, thank you for your reminder."
At this moment, the door in the reception room was lightly clicked, and the voice of the hotel messenger came from outside the door:
"Your Majesty Earl Yurst, Lord Earl Castel, the royal reception carriage is here."
Yurst's heart moved and he said with a smile:
"They are here, Lord Castel, let's go."
The group left the reception hall and came to the hotel gate. They saw two gorgeous and beautiful carriages parked in front of the gate, with the Roman family's lilac coat of arms inlaid on the sides.
The first one was larger, more luxurious, and even equipped with a gorgeous and complicated protective array.
The second one is slightly smaller, but also exquisite and elegant.
In front of the carriage stood a fully armed royal knight. After seeing Yurst, "Charlotte" and others, he quickly saluted:
"My lord, Count Jurst, my lord, Count Castells."
Yurst nodded slightly.
He looked carefully at the leading knight and frowned slightly:
"Eh? Today...isn't Sir Sheldon leading the team?"
After hearing what Yurst said, the royal knight said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, there are many civilians in the square to watch the ceremony today. Lord Sheldon has been transferred to assist, so I will lead the team instead."
"What's your name? Why haven't I seen you?"
Yurst frowned.
The royal knight took out a badge from his arms and presented it with both hands:
"My lord, my name is Albert. I was transferred to the Royal Knights not long ago."
Yurst took the badge and injected a bit of magic power into it. The badge glowed with the same magical aura as the other party's.
He nodded and nodded slightly:
"Okay, identity is no problem."
Saying that, Yurst turned around, looked at "Charlotte", and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency, this is the Roman royal family's VIP reception carriage. Its biggest feature is that it is equipped with extraordinary soundproofing arrays and extraordinary magic arrays. Not only can it protect privacy well, it is said that it can even withstand a blow from a legendary strongman. …Only true VIPs are eligible to ride.”
"The only ones qualified to be received in today's ceremony are you and the Duke of Conte."
"Charlotte" looked at the gorgeous carriage and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"She" glanced at Charlotte, who was dressed as a maid, and said via magic:
"Lord Charlotte, are you sure you really want me to take this carriage to attend the ceremony on your behalf?"
Charlotte glanced at him, and also used the magic sound transmission technique she learned from Nice and said:
"What, is there a problem for you?"
"Charlotte" was stunned for a moment and shook her head slightly:
"I don't have any problem, as long as you don't have any problem."
"Me? Of course I don't have a problem. It's just a ceremony. As long as you do what I say and don't affect my plan, it will be fine."
Charlotte said.
"Charlotte" seemed to understand and nodded:
"Then I have no problem."
Yurst:…
"You two, are you okay? If you wait a little longer, the knights will realize the problem soon. The Roman royal family is very taboo about such impostors."
Yurst whispered.
Charlotte then ended the exchange with Albrecht. She gave Albrecht a look, and Albrecht nodded slightly. Then, following Charlotte's usual behavior, she stepped forward gracefully and boarded the carriage.
Eudocia accompanied her and wanted to follow, but was stopped by the royal knight:
"I'm sorry, miss. Only invited nobles can ride in the Royal Family's VIP carriage. If you are a follower, you can only ride in the rear one."
Eudocia gave him a cold look.
When she glanced at him, the royal knight felt as if he was being targeted by a terrifying beast. His scalp suddenly became numb and his hair stood on end.
He almost subconsciously clenched his weapon and took a step back, causing several other knights to look sternly and clenched their weapons.
Until Yurst interrupted:
"Your Excellency Eudocia!"
Eudocia looked at him, and Yurst sighed and explained:
"Your Excellency Eudosia, this is also the old rule of the Roman royal family, but don't worry, Roman Square is right next to it, and the carriage will arrive at the location in three to five minutes."
As he spoke, he explained to the royal knight:
"Your Excellency Eudocia is Lord Castel's personal maid and bodyguard. Well... you can also be considered a knight."
The royal knights looked at each other, relaxed again, and saluted Eudocia:
"Miss Knight, please forgive me."
Eudocia snorted coldly and got on the second carriage.
The royal knights breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Yurst to express their gratitude, and then escorted the two carriages away.
Seeing the two carriages passing by the corner and entering the Roman Square where the ceremony was held, Yurst clicked his tongue:
"Today's knight is quite strict."
After speaking, he smiled slightly and said to Charlotte:
"Okay, Lord Castel, your substitute has successfully sneaked in. Next, it's up to us."
"Our carriage is also ready, but for convenience, we have to take the back door."
Charlotte nodded.
She looked away from the Wang family's carriage, and then picked up Niss, who was about to run away quietly.
"Meow! Nice suddenly remembered that there are other things to do! Nice, don't go!"
A fat black cat struggled and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Hmm? Sir Nicholas is also going?"
Looking at the black cat being lifted up by the scruff of the neck by Charlotte, Eurst raised an eyebrow.
"He has good magic, it might be useful."
Charlotte spoke concisely and to the point.
Under Yurst's gloating gaze, Charlotte forcibly put Nice into the Yurst carriage, and then drove towards Roman Square from the other direction.
At the same time, the VIP carriage escorted by the royal knights also arrived near the viewing platform...
However, there was more than just "Charlotte" in the VIP carriage.
"Hehehehe, Your Majesty the Earl, if you don't want your pretty little face to be scratched, or even if I accidentally cut your delicate throat when I'm nervous... please be obedient and obedient."
On top of the carriage.
A masked man in a black robe placed a sharp dagger between "Charlotte's" white neck and laughed in a low voice.
Charlotte blinked.
"She" looked at the masked mage on the other side who was wearing a magic robe and whose aura was not too weak, and then looked at the masked man in front of him who was threatening her with a dagger. His strength should be about the same as that of the mage and was at the same level as the Blazing Sun. He whistled softly, and then asked in Charlotte's voice with some curiosity and a little expectation:
"Is this...kidnapping?"
