This sudden assassination came and went quickly.

Regardless of whether they entered the rank or not, nine and a half of the ten nobles were transcendental, and after experiencing the initial stunned, they also quickly reacted, and learned from the Roman-Fur family to take down the guards who assassinated the lord one after another.

Charlotte didn't even say a word, and everything was done.

However, before the nobles could escort the "betrayal" Castelle guards to Charlotte's side, the guards convulsed one by one and then died violently.

All Charlotte saw in the end was a corpse with blank eyes.

She gave Ness a look, and Ness suddenly understood, jumped to the corpse to take a closer look, and said:

"It's mind-manipulation magic, they're forcibly controlled."

Charlotte bowed slightly, her gaze swept over the nobles who came to "escort", and finally landed on Vincent, who led the black-clothed swordsman in front of her.

At the same time, the nobles looked at her one after another, their faces full of loyalty and concern, as if they had just stopped the assassin.

In the hall, pins could be heard, and everyone was waiting for the lord's orders.

Charlotte still sat calmly on the throne of the lord.

Her expression was incomparably indifferent, in stark contrast to her youthful and immature appearance.

Taking a deep look at Vincent, the son of Viscount Roman-For, who was naturally standing beside her, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea, and said calmly:

"Banquet, go on."

The nobles hesitated.

However, looking at their lord's gaze, which seemed to be indifferent to the assassination just now, they hesitated for a moment, and finally danced again one after another.

The half-elf musician hesitated for a moment, then resumed his music.

It's just that there is no banquet atmosphere at all.

As for the corpses in the hall, the attendants soon came and dragged them away one by one, and the nobles who had been wounded in the battle just now were also treated one after another.

A sudden assassination ended in a hurry and was soon forgotten.

At least...... It looks forgotten.

In this brief assassination, no one was killed except the assassins.

The banquet continued.

However, after staying for a while, Charlotte slowly got up and decided to leave the venue.

The assassination just now was definitely not the purpose of the Ness Clan.

If the Ness clan wanted to control her, they would certainly not choose to assassinate her.

Charlotte felt that it was more like an introduction, creating an opportunity for the opponent to really attack.

As for the real killer moves of the Ness Clan, or who they really succeeded in wooing, let's be honest...... Witnessing everything just now, she already had a vague guess in her heart.

Of course, it's not just a guess.

Next, it's time for further verification, as well as net closing.

Thinking of this, Charlotte's deep gaze swept over the black-clothed swordsman of the Roman Fore family, and ordered the mayor of Northport, who had a palpitating face:

"Maddock, investigate when these guards were controlled."

Madock had to step down.

However, as soon as Charlotte walked out of the venue, Vincent of the Roman Fore family quickly followed, along with several black-clad swordsmen.

Charlotte gave him a meaningful look:

"Vincent, is there anything else?"

Vincent's expression was solemn and concise:

"Lord Earl, the guards are being controlled unconsciously, and I am afraid that there are traitors hidden in the venue! And I'm afraid I'm quite familiar with the Earl's Court, and it's probably someone close to you! ”

"It's too dangerous for you to leave now."

Charlotte raised an eyebrow:

"Oh? So what do you mean? ”

Vincent said with a solemn expression:

"Before my father left, I said that you are likely to be in danger today, and told me to protect you."

"At least...... Allow me to escort you out of the venue. ”

Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"Oh, so...... Didn't His Excellency the Viscount leave the venue early because he was unwell? ”

Vincent paused and said respectfully:

"I'm sorry, Lord Earl, I lied to you before, it is true that my father did not leave because he was unwell, but that he found traces of the Blood Clan near the Earl."

"Father...... It's to track down the Bloodline. ”

"Oh? If you've found traces of the Bloodline, why don't you tell me? ”

Charlotte asked, squinting her eyes.

"Because when I meet you, there are others around you."

Vincent replied as a matter of course.

Charlotte was visibly stunned by this answer, while Vincent continued:

"Lord Charlotte, allow me to escort you out."

Charlotte looked at him playfully, and suddenly smiled:

"Yes."

After speaking, she took the lead and walked out.

Nice, the black cat, also jumped lightly and jumped next to Charlotte.

"Lord Charlotte, are you going fishing? Do you suspect it's Roman Foer? ”

Nice's somewhat excited voice resounded through Charlotte's soul imprint.

"Perhaps, after all...... This kind of escort drama is too classic, and the time of his appearance is too coincidental and too abrupt, it's hard not to make me have some associations. ”

Charlotte replied in her consciousness.

"Meow! If I'm not mistaken, Sebas teleported away, right? Aren't you worried? ”

"It's okay, he's been teleported to the sea about fifty kilometers away, and he should be able to swim back tomorrow morning."

Nice:......

"Alright, get ready to arrest someone, perhaps...... We'll be able to figure out the Bloodlines behind the scenes in no time. ”

Charlotte said in her consciousness.

While chatting with Nice in her mind, Charlotte left the banquet hall and went to her study under Vincent's escort.

However, what made Charlotte a little puzzled was that Vincent really seemed to be just escorting her, and he didn't take the initiative to say a word until Charlotte entered the study.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Charlotte was a little confused.

"Lord Earl, Castel's guards are being controlled quietly, which means that the person behind the scenes is likely to be from the Earl's Palace, please be careful!"

"Subject...... Retirement. ”

Standing in front of the door of the study, Vincent said respectfully.

After saying that, he saluted again and left in silence with the black-clothed swordsman.

Charlotte: ......

Only...... Left?

Did you really make a mistake?

Or did the Bloods behind the scenes abandon today's action?

Looking at the direction in which Vincent had disappeared, Charlotte became more and more confused.

And at this time, the voice of the mayor of North Harbor, Maddock, appeared outside the door:

"Lord Earl, the vassals have investigated clearly, and they have come to report to you!"

"Come in."

Charlotte commanded naturally.

Madok quickly entered the study.

However, what Charlotte heard was not Maddock's report, but the sound of the study locking.

Her heart jumped, and she slowly looked up, seeing a familiar and unfamiliar face.

My mother-in-law passed away this morning, and I was busy all day today, and I only coded 2,000 words, so forgive me......

I was trapped when I coded this chapter
