Now that Sebas had already decided on a place to live, Charlotte didn't wait too long at her shop.

After seeing the excited and incoherent manager of his own jewelry store, smiling and listening to the other party's report on the development status of the store in Lutesia over the years and the various difficulties encountered, encouraging him as a lord, and promising to devote a certain amount of resources to the family's business focus in the royal capital, Charlotte boarded the carriage again surrounded by everyone.

And this time, the leader is no longer Baron Chalon, but Sebas.

Similar to the major cities of the various human nations in the world of Miria, Lutesia is also divided into inner and outer cities, of which the inner city is centered on the royal city, and is inhabited by a large number of nobles, priests, and wealthy people.

The gates in the inner city were even stricter than those in the outer city, but the guards here did not make Charlotte difficult.

They recognized the Castel family emblem as soon as they saw the Castel family's carriage, and before Charlotte could declare her identity, they automatically let her go.

Not only that, but the officer in charge of the garrison even saluted Charlotte's carriage from afar:

"Lord Castel, welcome to Rutsia!"

This huge difference made Charlotte look surprised, and at the same time, she had further speculation about the situation in the royal capital.

Unlike the crowded outer city, after entering the inner city, the streets become much wider and smoother, not that the roads are really wider, but that there are fewer people.

Of course, less is only relative, because there are a large number of aristocratic estates and villas in the inner city, and the overall building density is much smaller than that of the outer city, and there is also a difference in the natural population.

Not to mention, the censorship of entry into the inner city is also stricter.

The aristocratic estate rented by Sebas is located in the western part of the inner city of Lutesia, on the banks of the artificial section of the Kena River that crosses the entire royal capital of Lutesia.

It is a manor house of almost 20,000 square meters, called 7 Riverside Street, which is not too large, but the sparrow is small and full of organs, and the architectural style is completely different from that of Boulder and Castel, but typical of the West Union style, with towering minarets, slender pillars and pointed arches everywhere.

Of course, in Charlotte's habits, she prefers to call it Gothic.

On the whole, the style is more mysterious and solemn, especially with the overall blue-gray architectural tone of Lutexia, there is a sense of solemnity.

The greenery is also well done, and there is a fine fountain garden.

Through the garden, you can even see the towering minarets and patina roofs of the Holy Cathedral of Lutecia in the distance.

Seeing the emblem of the ring cross at the end of the spire, Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"Here...... How close to the cathedral of the Crescent diocese?"

Sebas smiled slightly and said respectfully:

"Not too close, but not too far away, not too far under the nose of the church, not too far away for people to think about."

Listening to Sebas's words, Charlotte bowed slightly.

Indeed, from the perspective of the Crescent royal family and the nobles of many kingdoms, the relationship between her, the emerging noble lord, and the church is probably quite delicate.

[In view of the general environment,

In a sense, the biggest reason why King Louis V acquiesced to the third prince's coveting of Castel was her attitude towards the church.

Charlotte could almost have foreseen that this central meeting, this meeting with the king, would probably also talk about related issues.

"When I'm ready, I can visit the church first."

After thinking about it, Charlotte said.

Doing a full set of plays, no matter what, she is a devout holy believer on the surface.

"Of course, everything is as you wish."

Sebas replied respectfully.

After looking at the manor, Charlotte stepped out of the carriage.

The waiters and maids who had changed into Castel's uniforms were already waiting at the door, but no one was there

It's a lot, only about thirty.

"Lord Earl......

When they saw Charlotte, they saluted respectfully.

"Master, these are some servants from the shop, who are responsible for taking care of the manor during this time, they have all passed the magic test, and they can be trusted."

Sebas said.

Charlotte bowed slightly, then motioned for the convoy to enter the manor as well.

Soon, the knights and squires who accompanied them got busy and began to unload, and the whole manor was bustling with activity.

Charlotte went straight to the main building of the manor.

Like the solemnity of the exterior, the interior of the manor is also decorated towards seriousness, with the color palette of black, gold and red, which Charlotte prefers, but at the same time it is not without losing its luxury, and it can even be said that it is quite stylish.

It's definitely the result of Sebas's careful selection after synthesizing her preferences.

"This manor...... Which family is it from?"

Charlotte asked curiously, stroking the smooth and heavy wooden spiral staircase inside the manor, and looking at the huge oil paintings hanging on either side of the walls, which at first glance knew were absolutely valuable.

"Back to the master, it's from the Anro family."

Sebas said.

"Anro? The de Anro family?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."

Sebas nodded.

"The Anro Family......

Charlotte bowed slightly, thoughtful.

The Anro family, one of the nine dukes of the Crescent Kingdom, is headed by John de Anro, the guardian duke of the moon.

The other party is also Charlotte's old acquaintance, when she went north to Castel to succeed to the throne, she also passed by the Principality of the Moon Protector and visited the Duke of the Moon Protector, and it was at the dinner in Anro City, the capital of the Principality of the Moon, that Charlotte met the third prince Philip for the first time.

However, as far as Charlotte knew, that encounter with the third prince was just a coincidence, and the other party only happened to pass through the city of Anroe and go south to Boulder.

The House of Anroe itself is a branch of the royal family of Varva, and is also a staunch royal party of the kingdom, and John de Anro, Duke of the Moon, is a staunch supporter of King Louis V.

In the rivalry between the second and third princes, he has always remained neutral, never taking sides, and in his attitude towards the church, he is not too strong like some hard-line aristocrats, but relatively mild.

In other words, the Duke of the Moon Protector is the good gentleman in the royal party.

Thinking of this, Charlotte bowed slightly:

"Not bad."

Not bad indeed.

The nine dukes of the kingdom each stood in line, and the Duke of Moon Protector happened to belong to the kind of person who was relatively detached.

Renting another family's manor may lead people to wonder if Castel is planning to take sides or something, and the Anro family is just right.

During this trip to the royal capital, Charlotte did not plan to take the initiative to wade into the troubled waters of the political struggle in the Crescent Kingdom.

Her purpose was simply to consolidate the status of the kingdom's direct vassals, to pay allegiance to the current king, to dispel the king's suspicions about Castel, and to go to the church to tell them that the Blood Demon Order also had a stronghold in the royal capital of Rutsia.

The Blood Demon Order was already her enemy, and through that Blood Demon Priestess, Charlotte already knew that the organization also had its own stronghold in the royal capital.

However, Charlotte didn't plan to deal with the other party in person this time, but planned to throw it directly to the church.

Leave professional things to professional people, report it, who won't, and by the way, you can see if you can get some other wool from the church.

In addition, it is to open the sales route of the Castel family's extraordinary materials, make friends with the noble families of various kingdoms, earn all kinds of small money, and prepare for the development of their own territory.

As for the battle for the throne or something, she didn't care, anyway, as long as it wasn't the third prince.

And as for that

At one point, she believes that the Second Prince Party will definitely take advantage of this good opportunity to fall into the ground, after all, they facilitated the convening of this Central Committee.

All Charlotte needs to do is avoid being used as a gunman in the process.

Thinking of this, Charlotte recalled her experience when she first entered the royal capital of Lutesia, and asked quietly:

"Sebas, you said earlier that there was an urgent matter in the store, so you couldn't rush to the city gate to greet you, what happened?"

Listening to Charlotte's inquiry, Sebas was slightly stunned and replied respectfully:

"Master, it's a matter of shop inspection."

"Store inspection? What to check?"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment.

Sebas smiled wryly:

"Check for cultists."

Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"Cultists? Blood Demon Cultists?"

Sebas nodded:

"Yes, a few days ago, there was also a sacrifice of members of the Blood Demon Sect in the royal capital of Lutesia, although it was stopped and arrested by the diocese in time, but it also caused quite a stir in the royal capital......

"It is said that His Majesty was furious when he learned about it, and ordered the city guards and the church to strengthen their management, and uproot all the blood demon orders entrenched in the shadows of the royal capital."

"With the central meeting just around the corner, the vigilance within Rutasia has also been strengthened, and all shops need to be inspected, also to prevent the Blood Demon Order from taking this opportunity to cause trouble......

"That's why our store is being so focused, because one of the captured Blood Demon cultists happens to be a clerk at our store......

Listening to Sebas's words, Charlotte suddenly narrowed her eyes.

The Blood Demon Order, again the Blood Demon Order......

For her, this organization is really like a dogskin plaster, haunted wherever she goes.
