"K... Mr. Castel, are you sure you want to go back? Don't you want to visit Roman for a few more days?"
In the noble hotel in Rohan City, watching the maids of the Castel family busy packing their luggage, Yurst hesitated and asked cautiously.
Charlotte leaned leisurely against the window.
While looking down at the bustling city, she shook her head and said:
"No need, the ancestor recognition ceremony has failed. There are still many things to deal with in the North, and there is no need for me to stay here anymore."
As she said that, she smiled at Yurst:
"Don't look at me like this, actually... I'm also very busy."
The golden sunlight shines on the girl's body through the window, coating her with a layer of brilliance. Her already beautiful face becomes even more dreamy in her sweet smile.
Even Yurst was stunned unconsciously, but knowing the true identity of the other party, he quickly reacted and quickly lowered his head respectfully and fearfully.
Being able to see his ancestors fascinated, Yurst felt that he was getting more and more outrageous.
"Yulst, Prince Henry is dead, our contract should be considered completed, right? After you go back, remember to remind the Ness clan to complete the agreement with Castel!"
Looking at Yurst who lowered his head, Charlotte tilted her head and said with a smile.
Yurst smiled bitterly and nodded:
"Please rest assured that although the process has exceeded expectations, the Ness clan has always been a blood clan that abides by the contract. After officially taking power, the clan will transfer the sovereignty of the Roman Principality to the Castel family."
After speaking, he hesitated for a moment and sighed again:
"It's just... you may need to wait a little longer, at least... until the political situation in Luo Xing stabilizes."
"Although the death of Prince Henry fundamentally cut off Lilac's heirs, it also caused us to completely break away from the current royal family. Some nobles who were originally inclined to us may also have distrust of us, so... the clan may need to spend more time. Spend more time stabilizing the country."
After hearing what Yurst said, Charlotte nodded slightly:
"Okay, I understand, do you need my help?"
Yurst was shocked:
"No... no need! Yourst is very grateful for your intention to help the clan, but... forget it. After this ceremony, the origin of your body will probably be completely revealed soon, Castor Earl Er has a special status... it is not appropriate to get involved in disputes during the turmoil of the Fallen Star Throne, and I am afraid that the clan will not be happy to see this matter."
"Although Lord Yorok persuaded the Elders to form an alliance with Castel, more tribesmen are actually quite wary of the 'god' behind Castel."
"With all due respect, there is still a great fear within the clan about the return of the True Ancestor. Even if it is preparing for the Holy Day, one of its biggest purposes is to prevent the liquidation of the True Ancestor who may return..."
"so……"
Charlotte nodded:
"I know, it takes more time, right?"
Yurst breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly:
"Is such that."
As he spoke, he seemed to be worried about Charlotte misunderstanding, and he quickly said:
"But...please rest assured, I am already your blood dependent, and I have witnessed your kindness. I think...if you are now, as long as you have enough time, you will definitely be able to win the support of the ethnic group. .”
Charlotte smiled and said:
"I'm not in a hurry. With my current strength, I actually don't have that plan for the time being. After all...strength is the foundation."
"However... I heard that the Ness clan still retains a certain amount of divine power of blood, and even possesses artifacts made from faceless statues. Do you know this?"
Yurst hesitated for a moment and said:
"You mean to say the clan's star crystal, right?"
"The clan did use the faceless statue to create an artifact. No... it should be said to be a sacred artifact. It is currently in the hands of Lord Yorok."
"As for the divine power of blood... I don't know, but it should be kept by the Presbyterian Council. After all, the few artifacts preserved by Kexi Crown are also kept by the Presbyterian Council."
"Um...Your Excellency Count Castells, you...are you planning to get these things back?"
Charlotte glanced at him:
"You can do it?"
Yurst was a little embarrassed:
"I'm... I'm afraid not. After all, I'm just a little Blood Earl."
Charlotte smiled:
"It doesn't matter. I have no intention of controlling the Ness clan now. You can continue to lurk within the clan. Of course, if you can find more supporters, that would be better."
"After I go back this time, maybe I will sleep for a while, and you will have plenty of time to make various preparations in the Ness clan."
After hearing Charlotte's words, Yurst's heart moved:
"Sleep...sleep? Are you...are you going to further recover your power?"
Charlotte smiled noncommittally.
"Lord Charlotte, the carriage is ready and we can be on our way at any time."
There was a gentle knock on the door, and the voice of the maid Shirley came in.
Charlotte nodded and said:
"knew."
After saying that, she smiled at Yurst:
"Yulst, I hope you can bring me a nice surprise next time I see you."
After finishing speaking, Charlotte left the guest room accompanied by Eudocia.
"Really... no, Lord Castel!"
Yurst hesitated for a moment and then quickly stopped her.
Charlotte paused slightly.
"Your Excellency Yurst, do you have any more questions?"
Charlotte asked.
Yurst looked uneasy.
After struggling for a while, he shook his head:
"No...it's nothing. I wish you a safe journey."
Charlotte glanced at his obviously worried face, and with a thought in her heart, she asked:
"Your Excellency Yurst, is there really no problem within the Ness clan?"
Yurst was stunned.
He hesitated for a moment and shook his head:
"No...no, at least...not yet."
Charlotte looked at him deeply:
"If you have any difficulties, just ask me for help. After all... we are also 'allies'."
Yurst bowed his head respectfully:
"I will."
After leaving the hotel, Charlotte got into the carriage, and Castel's motorcade slowly set off towards the port.
They came by boat, and they left the same way.
Charlotte waved her hand, indicating that Yurst didn't need to send any more, and then closed the curtains.
After the curtains of the carriage were closed, silver light appeared, and an illusory pocket elf two-handed sword slowly appeared beside Charlotte:
"Hey, he must have wanted to ask about my whereabouts just now. His thoughts were written on his face!"
"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, are you really not planning to seize the power of the Ness clan? This is the best time. I'm afraid they will be in big trouble this time!"
This is the projection of Roman's sword, and only Charlotte, as the owner, can see it.
Looking at the gloating Roman Sword beside her, Charlotte raised her eyebrows:
"Oh, how do you say that?"
"Of course it's because the person who killed Roman's heir was the Nes blood descendant from Luna Island. There is a tendency for the Nes blood descendants to split within themselves. Luna Island and Luo Xing have been competing for the dominance of the clan. This time …I’m afraid it’s going to be lively.”
"Haha, don't you think this is the best time to take advantage of the situation? Whether it's the Ness clan or the Roman family!"
Roman's Sword said in a somewhat mean-spirited way.
Charlotte glanced at this artifact that was used to gloat over misfortunes. She didn't want to reveal that the other party was solely responsible for her own misfortune, but she also wanted to see others misfortune.
This guy has a grudge, and he probably owes the Ness and Roman families most of the blame for the fact that it fell into his own hands.
Seeing Charlotte's unmoved look and meaningful gaze, Roman Sword's voice gradually became quieter.
It coughed lightly and shrank back in frustration.
Charlotte withdrew her gaze and looked to the other side:
"Albrecht, what are your plans next?"
Opposite her, the black mist slowly condensed and finally transformed into Albrecht's appearance.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Great True Ancestor, I plan to return to the Crescent Kingdom, win over the blood descendants within the Order, and continue to serve you!"
Albrecht looked serious and his attitude was respectful.
Charlotte glanced at him with a half-smile:
"Aren't you going to hide from Qingjing this time?"
Albrecht froze slightly and laughed dryly:
"You...you are joking."
Charlotte put no more pressure.
She lazily changed her sitting position and nodded:
"Go on, don't let me down. There is another new task. I want you to investigate the sacred artifact within the Blood Demon Order that can locate the cursed pages, find it, and then... get it."
"The holy tool that locates the cursed pages?"
Albrecht raised his eyebrows.
He was thoughtful and bowed to Charlotte:
"My great True Ancestor, I will obey your oracle..."
After saying that, Albrecht turned into black mist again and quickly dissipated.
Charlotte slowly looked back.
She looked out the window at the approaching dock and her own fleet of ships that had been prepared beside the dock, and murmured:
"When I go back this time... I can fuse the statue with peace of mind."
…
On September 5, 1446 in the Holy Calendar, Prince Henry, the crown prince of King Fallen Star King, was attacked and killed during a Roman ceremony.
The Roman Sword, an artifact inherited from the Roman family, chased the murderer and disappeared.
It is said that the person who assassinated Prince Henry was a fanatical supporter of the Red Lilac family and was suspected to be related to the Blood Clan.
After the news reached Luo Xing, the whole country was in an uproar.
…
Luo Xing Kingdom, the royal capital Luo Xing City.
In the royal palace, the strong smell of herbs was quite pungent, and the knights guarding the palace looked solemn and stern.
Maids in red and white uniforms gathered around the bed, carefully wiping the body of Edward III who was lying on the bed.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
The violent coughing was intermittent, difficult and weak, and every time he coughed, it would affect the hideous wound on his chest, causing more bright red blood to spread among the white bandages.
The maids were in a hurry, looking at the unstoppable blood, their faces became paler.
After a commotion, a middle-aged nobleman dressed as a knight entered the palace worriedly.
He came to the bed, looked at the haggard and pale old man on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly stepped back.
However, just as he was about to leave, Edward III suddenly opened his cloudy eyes and asked in a weak voice:
"Is it... Sir Summerlight..."
"Your Majesty, this is your Majesty."
The middle-aged nobleman stopped and saluted respectfully towards the bed.
Edward III coughed violently a few more times and asked:
"Is...is there any result from the investigation over there?"
The middle-aged noble hesitated and looked around.
Edward III said weakly:
"You... all go out."
The maids and knights hesitated for a moment, then bowed and left. Only Edward III and the middle-aged noble were left in the palace.
Edward III struggled to support his body and wanted to sit up from the bed. Seeing this, the middle-aged nobleman quickly stepped forward and carefully helped him up.
After breathing heavily for a moment, Edward III's cloudy eyes gradually flashed with light:
"Tell me, Sir Summerlet, how Henry... died."
The middle-aged nobleman sighed and said:
"Already... we have preliminary results. Your Highness died from the unique magic of the Vampire Clan. According to our secret investigation, many of His Highness's entourage have been infiltrated by the Vampire Clan..."
"Ahem...ahem...a vampire! It's a vampire again! These lingering ghosts...ahem..."
Edward III coughed violently.
"His Majesty!"
The middle-aged nobleman was startled and subconsciously wanted to call someone over, but was stopped by Edward III:
"That's all, there's no need to call anyone. I know my physical condition... I'm afraid I won't last long."
"His Majesty……"
The middle-aged noble looked worried.
Edward III shook his head and motioned for him to pour himself a glass of water. After taking a hard drink of water, Edward III asked breathlessly:
"What's going on over there at Red Lilac?"
The middle-aged noble hesitated and said:
"They have proposed to the parliament for the third time to re-determine the successor, and the parliament has passed the motion. I am afraid that they will put pressure on the cabinet soon..."
After hearing what the middle-aged noble said, Edward III sneered:
"Haha, re-determine the heir...ahem...just want to seize the throne...ahem..."
"They...do they think I don't know? If it weren't for...ahem, those blood descendants are supporting them...ahem..."
"Hmph, for the sake of inheriting the throne, he actually colluded with the blood descendants... Ahem, how could I hand Luo Xing into the hands of such a person! Ahem..."
"Allied with the nobles to prevent me from unifying the Crescent Moon, colluded with the vampires to drug me, and now assassinates Henry... These disgusting guys can never get my throne!"
"The more they want to leave the church, the less I will let them succeed! The more they want to get the throne, the more I will let them down! Cough cough... cough cough cough cough..."
Edward III looked ferocious and excited, and couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.
The middle-aged nobleman was startled and said quickly:
"Your Majesty! You'd better lie down! I'll call the priest and doctor right away..."
"No need."
Edward III shook his head.
He took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then asked:
"Where's Roman...'s sword?"
"No news yet."
"What happened to my niece...?"
The middle-aged nobleman was silent for a moment and said:
"She has returned to the territory. After investigation, she should have nothing to do with this assassination."
"However, we do not rule out the possibility that she also has contacts with the vampires, but considering her status in the church, this possibility is very small."
"However, it is said that she was quite angry before she left. His Highness did not seem to act according to the plan you told him and visit the Northland in person. Instead, he changed the plan on his own initiative. The so-called kidnapping was indeed true. His Highness even hired someone. Yunet’s mercenaries..."
"We all seem to underestimate her. Her ability to quell the rebellion in the territory and repel the invasion was not just due to family favors and luck."
After hearing what the middle-aged noble said, Edward III looked a little unhappy:
"Hmph, have you listened to that guy Conte's slander again? I know what he is worried about. He is worried that he will be deprived of his inheritance rights..."
"Stupid! Really stupid! He is my son after all, how could I deprive him of his inheritance rights! In the end, even my own life was involved! Ahem..."
Edward III was very angry, with disappointment in his eyes.
Taking a breath, he slowly closed his eyes, and then opened them again after a long time. His brows and eyes were full of resentment, madness and ridicule:
"Sir Summerlet..."
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"Listen to me... draft the edict... I say, you write it..."
"Your Majesty...are you going to..."
"Ahem... the heir... really needs to be established. Since they care so much about bloodline, then... then I will give them... a candidate who is 'compliant with the rules'!"
Edward III said with red eyes and gritted teeth.
