"Your Excellency, I give you three months, within three months, all nobles in the territory must be reviewed, and any nobles who refuse to be reviewed will be deemed to have automatically renounced their noble status."

"This is the specific content that needs to be checked when examining the nobles, as well as the list of volumes reported by each family, so you can take it back and take a closer look."

Charlotte took out another copy of the review materials that had been prepared from the drawer and ordered the maid to deliver it to Viscount Leon Castel.

Viscount Leon-Castell has long been suppressed by the power of the blood god.

But even so, when he saw clearly what needed to be reviewed in the information, he couldn't help but widen his eyes:

"Lord Earl! This...... This...... I'm afraid this ......"

"Huh? How? Difficult? ”

Charlotte gave him a faint look.

The old viscount lowered his head almost subconsciously.

Recalling the list of reported volumes of the various aristocratic families he had just seen and the censored content, he was silent for a long time and sighed:

"Minister...... The vassals receive orders, but they ...... The whereabouts of the Blood Clan are secretive, and they are extremely good at hiding their identities, even if you order me to review them, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the vassals to find out all of them......"

"Not to mention, these censorship contents almost have to check the family background of each family, even if the blood clan behind the scenes loses the power to resist, if the nobles themselves unite to resist...... Even if you have the control of various families, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Charlotte smiled slightly and said:

"You don't have to worry about reviewing the identity of the blood clan, since I leave this matter to you, I will naturally equip you with professional personnel to check your identity, you just need to ensure that all the nobles are reviewed."

"Your Excellency, as the head of foreign affairs of the countdom, I don't think there is any nobleman in the entire realm who is more familiar with the situation of each family than you......"

"As for whether the various families will oppose ......"

Charlotte sneered and said indifferently:

"If they can really join forces, let them join forces."

"At that time, I will declare all the nobles who rebel as Count Castel a rebellion, and the title of rebel will be withdrawn, and I will also call on all nobles to help me put down the rebellion of Castel, and those who have contributed to the rebellion will have the opportunity to obtain these retracted titles."

Listening to Charlotte's words, the old viscount was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Charlotte continued:

"Of course, it's not that easy for you to do these things, so ...... I'll also equip you with some more professional helpers who will be able to help you deal with the nobles who are trying to rebel. ”

The old viscount was stunned, and couldn't help but widen his eyes:

"A professional helper? Settle the rebellion of the nobles? You...... Are you going to use the Immediate Guard?! ”

Charlotte smiled:

"That's not it, the guards of the direct jurisdiction have their own guards, if the nobles really unite, it is impossible to quickly take them down by the guards alone, I have arranged for you to be more professional."

"More ...... Professional people? ”

The old viscount's eyelids jumped wildly, and he vaguely seemed to think of something.

Charlotte did not continue to explain, but owed a debt, looked the old viscount in the eyes, and said meaningfully:

"One more thing......"

"I know you're a devout believer in the Holy Faith, but ...... The situation in the county is special, so in the future, do not preach in the realm that I came to Castel to spread the faith of the Holy Court, and do not deliberately advertise that I am a saint of the Holy Court. ”

Charlotte accentuated the words "religious" and "deliberately" slightly.

Facing Charlotte's deep eyes, Lean Castel suddenly had a feeling of being seen through everything, and quickly lowered his head.

"Okay, I'm done, do you have any questions?"

Charlotte shifted her seat, chin propped up, and smiled.

Viscount Lean-Castel swallowed a mouthful of saliva and sighed:

"Subject...... Without. ”

Looking at the old viscount's dejected appearance, Charlotte smiled again and said:

"Your Excellency, don't put too much pressure on you."

"There is a proverb in the ancient Oriental country, the so-called 'once a son of heaven and a courtier'......"

"Although I am not a 'son of heaven', I am also the master of Castelle, and when you finish this, Len Castel will naturally be the biggest hero."

"And I'...... We will never treat the heroes badly. ”

Listening to Charlotte's words, the old viscount couldn't help but raise his head and meet her pair of deep blue eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he leaned over respectfully and said:

"Subject...... I see. ”

After receiving the task of examining the nobility from Charlotte, Viscount Leon Castel retired with a heavy heart.

As soon as he left, the window of the study was pulled open from the outside, and the chubby body of the black cat Nice squeezed in.

Charlotte glanced at it and frowned:

"Why don't you go through the front door?"

"Hey, didn't that see you were summoning a vassal just now? I don't want to bother you, so I subconsciously drill through the window. ”

Ness expertly tumbled onto the table, picked up the snack from his plate and stuffed it into his mouth, enjoying it.

Charlotte was too lazy to expose this lazy cat to climb the stairs in a circle, and she got straight to the point:

"You've finished judging Maddock?"

"Look at what you said! We have always been quick to shoot! ”

"Oh? Listening to your tone, it doesn't seem to take too long? ”

"Hey, hey! That's not it! If it's just the others, it's Madoc, and we're the most familiar with the forbidden magic pattern on his body! There are 10,000 ways to get him to speak! ”

Looking at Nice's triumphant appearance, Charlotte recalled the words she had seen that was countered by the divine arts, and suddenly her heart moved slightly, and asked:

"Nice, do you know the legendary mage Nicholas?"

"Huh? Nicholas? Who's that? I don't know! I don't know! ”

Nice the black cat quickly shook his head like a rattle.

That unthinking denial Charlotte is all too familiar.

As long as this girl is duplicitous and has no secrets, she must be like this.

Charlotte looked at it deeply, and suddenly smiled:

"Speaking of which, I don't think I've ever seen you pray to the God of Covenant, aren't you a devout Covenant believer?"

"Ah...... You don't know this, Lord Charlotte, but every day I pray privately to the great God of Contract...... Well, praise the contract! ”

Nice cat's face was grim, and he stretched out his cat's paw and drew a balance symbol of Mithra, the god of contracts, in front of him, and prayed solemnly.

It's just that the movements don't look so skilled.

Charlotte watched it silently and did not speak.

Glared directly at by Charlotte's oppressive gaze, Ness looked away with some weakness.

It coughed dryly twice, and a glow flashed in the cat's paws, and a roster appeared:

"Lord Charlotte, this is the list provided by Madock, all of them are nobles and officials in the Crown Territory who have been co-opted and infiltrated by the Ness clan."

As he spoke, his expression was a little strange:

"I have to say...... It's not easy for your Governor to survive to this day, let's take a closer look at the roster, it's going to leak into a sieve. ”

Charlotte: ......

Although I know that this guy is changing the subject, I have to say that it did succeed.

Charlotte no longer continued to ask Nice's secret, but took the roster and browsed it, her eyelids jumping wildly:

"So much?"

"Hey, luckily, there are almost no blood clans in it, and most of the people who are attracted are only marginal nobles and officials of the city hall, after all, your direct domain is the center of the Holy Royal Court in the Northland, even if the priest pulls his hips, presumably the Ness clan doesn't dare to be presumptuous......"

"So I have to thank the Holy Court?"

Charlotte couldn't help but complain.

But after thinking about it, she nodded approvingly:

"In every sense, it seems that I should indeed be thankful for the great God......

"Praise the holy!"

Charlotte also drew a ring cross symbol on her chest, and her movements were much more skilled than Nice's.

With that, she handed the list back to Nice and complimented:

"Well done! Now that you have the list, let's go and arrest people, the people on it...... No one is allowed to be spared, and all the family property is confiscated! It just so happens that the expansion plan of the North Port also needs a lot of money, and this first money will come from them. ”

"Lord Charlotte, there's a lot of people on the list, are you sure you want to do it?"

"Do it, of course you have to do it, I'm going to do it, nobles, will I leave the direct lord? This is our foundation. ”

Charlotte said without hesitation.

Ness seemed to be quite comfortable with the word "we", and was so happy that his tail was raised higher.

But at the same time, it has some doubts:

"Lord Charlotte, I know you want to take control of the territory as soon as possible, but here's the problem, you are so aggressive, you really don't worry about the territory being chaotic? Didn't I remember you said before that you should try to be as stable as possible? ”

Charlotte smiled and said:

"That was before, I didn't know what the Ness clan's infiltration of the territory was, so I naturally threw a mouse, but now, ......"

Her eyes flashed slightly, and she said:

"The infiltration of the Ness clan into the territory is indeed very serious, but perhaps out of efficiency, or perhaps for the sake of counterbalance, they have not integrated the infiltrated aristocratic forces......"

"This can be seen from the nobles reporting each other, even if they infiltrate the nobles, the power they infiltrate is also scattered, and they go their own way."

"Maybe it will be fine when the Earl of Lachlan is alive, but as soon as he dies, the control of the Ness clan will inevitably be greatly weakened, and if you want to regain control of the power of infiltration, I am afraid it will not be possible to do it for a while, after all...... Working underground is already difficult. ”

"In that case, I'm going to take this opportunity."

After speaking, Charlotte touched her chin again:

"Speaking of which, the Duke of Blood would not hesitate to kill the Earl of Lachlan, which is also beyond my expectations, a Count of Blood is not a small character, so neat, even if they have a private enmity, I believe it......"

"It's surprising that the Bloodlines are bound by blood, and it can only be said that either the Ness Clan is hiding a deeper secret, or that the Duke really has a vendetta with the Earl of Lachlan......"

"I guess there are also factions within the Ness clan, maybe they are not as united as we thought."

Ness nodded:

"Okay, then I'll get it, it's just...... Why did you entrust this task to Leon Castel? You don't really think they're loyal, do you? ”

Charlotte took a sip of sweet milk and said quietly:

"Of course I know that they can't be desperate allegiance, and not only that, but I don't think that Viscount Leon Castel is really a devout holy believer as he appears, otherwise he would certainly not sit idly by and watch the Church's decline in Castel."

"Actually, I think Leon Castel is more like a wall grass with his own careful thoughts, maybe this viscount won't betray me openly, but I'm afraid there is no less eye-to-eye with the Ness clan behind the scenes......"

"However, it doesn't matter, the Earl of Lachlan is dead, and the Duke of the Ness Clan may not be sure of the power behind me, there is no impermeable wall in the world, as long as the fact of the fall of the Blood Count behind the scenes is revealed to the nobles, they will inevitably fall into suspicion."

"In this case, the wallgrass tends to choose the side that is most beneficial to them!"

"Not to mention, the Leon-Castelle family is also the weaker of the three viscounts, with no influence, but limited strength, and I am not worried that their family will become bigger in the process of reviewing the nobility......"

Nice's heart moved slightly:

"I see, in the same way, censoring the nobility will also make their family stand on the opposite side of the territorial nobility, even if it is a wall grass, as long as you deal with the infiltration of the Ness clan, they will only have to follow you in the future, right?"

Charlotte nodded:

"Exactly."

"You're so yin...... Well, wisdom too. ”

Ness couldn't help but say.

"Speaking of which, I happen to have something to look for you as well."

Charlotte changed her words and suddenly looked at the black cat:

"Ness, you should know more than just a contract magic, right?"

Ness was stunned and began to play dumb:

"Huh? What do you say? I ......"

"Will you use divine magic?"

Charlotte watched it silently.

"I ......"

Ness opened his mouth.

"Could it be?"

Charlotte continued to stare at it, staring intently.

Met with the increasingly oppressive gaze, Ness swallowed his spit, and finally answered honestly:

"Well, a little bit, more or less."

"What about detecting evil?"

"Uh...... It will also be a little bit. ”

"Not bad!"

Charlotte nodded and said:

"Since it's a little bit, then I'll give you another task, and after the review plan is launched, you can go along as an assistant, with a keen sense of smell and the detection of evil divine magic, I don't think there should be any bloodline who can escape under your nose."

"Censorship of the nobles' assistants?"

Nice's eyes lit up, and the shape of Quintana appeared in his amber pupils.

I saw it straighten up and salute humanely, and said excitedly:

"Nice...... Mission completion guaranteed! ”

"Alright, when you're done, report to Viscount Leon Castel, remember, you're both an assistant and an overseer, and you can call me by name if necessary."

"Yes!"

Ness took the task and stepped back.

And Charlotte pondered for a moment, and then called the maid Shirley:

"Shirley, help me get an official letter for the nobles' communications......"

Shirley quickly presented Charlotte with letter paper and ink, and Charlotte picked up the quill and dipped it in ink, thinking for a moment before preparing to put pen to paper.

But after writing a word crookedly on the letterhead, she stopped again.

It's embarrassing.

Although she inherited most of the memories of the original body, Charlotte did not inherit much of her writing ability, or even if she was the original body, most of them were etiquette, and did not include these skills.

After thinking about it, Charlotte looked at Shirley:

"Shirley, you've learned to write before, right?"

Shirley nodded:

"Learned."

"Yes, I'll tell you, you write it."

Charlotte handed the letter over.

Shirley respectfully took the letter, and Charlotte pondered for a moment before speaking:

"To the glorious Viscount Remisio......"

"It's been more than a week since I returned to the territory, Castel's situation is more complicated than I thought, the Remisio family has always been friends of the Castel family, as the lord of Castel, I have something I want to cooperate with you......"

"I wonder if you're interested in taking a hire in your spare time guarding the Castell Silver Mine for a large extra commission income?"
