Conquer the Ness Clan?

Listening to Albrecht's words, Charlotte was visibly stunned for a moment.

However, she soon realizes that it was Albrecht who recognized Jurst's identity and was curious about her relationship with the Nesnes clan.

There was nothing to hide, even if it was a forced contract, Albrecht was her blood servant after all.

Unless this guy canonizes himself, there is no way for him to escape from Charlotte's palm when he is already a "demigod".

After all...... Myth has a personal suppression of the legend itself!

"I didn't subdue the Ness Clan, but I just signed an alliance with them as Count Castel, and of course, there are forces within the Ness Clan that depend on me, just like you in the Blood Demon Order."

Charlotte said lightly.

Alliance...... Covenant?

This time, it was Albrecht's turn to be stunned.

However, Charlotte stopped mentioning it after she finished speaking.

Although he was curious, out of fear of the True Ancestor, Albrecht could only hold back.

"Your plan can be abandoned, our purpose is the same, I don't want to see someone make a difference and affect my actions."

Looking at Albrecht, who looked confused, Charlotte said.

Albrecht had already lost the mind to think about the faceless god by this time.

In fact, he just wanted to slip away now, hide away, and get as far away from the existence in front of him as possible.

"Albrecht understands, Albrecht will leave without affecting your plans!"

He hit the snake with a stick, seized the loophole in Charlotte's words, and directly planned to slip away.

"Wait."

Charlotte froze Albrecht, who was about to slip away, in place.

She looked each other up and down, and suddenly smiled:

"It's all here, it's just right, I didn't bring much dependents this time, and there is still a lack of errands and chores around me, these days, you can follow me."

Albrecht: ......

Listening to Charlotte's words, he suddenly fell like a deflated ball, and his whole body wilted.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Charlotte's voice turned cold.

Her voice was not loud or imposing, but Albrecht shivered suddenly, and only felt a trace of coolness penetrate from the Heavenly Spirit Cover to the ass.

He subconsciously shuddered, and quickly pulled out an ugly smile and nodded again and again:

"Yes! Absolutely! It is Albrecht's honor to be by your side, how could Albrecht not want to? ”

"Well, that's not bad."

Charlotte bowed slightly.

Albrecht was of legendary blood after all, and this guy was only forced to surrender because of her obscenity.

If she really left him alone at this time, Charlotte was really afraid that this guy would take advantage of the loophole and make some kind of moths that would affect her plans.

To be on the safe side, it's better to keep this guy by your side for the time being, and you can help more when it is critical.

Albrecht is, after all, a legend and a powerful man.

Unless Charlotte's true ancestor is liberated, otherwise, this guy is the highest combat power in Roon City at the moment, and I am afraid that only the Duke of Yoroc of the Ness clan, and the legend of the suspected bloodline in the direction of the church that she explored with the help of the Blood Canon before, can match it.

"So...... My lord, I ...... How can I stay with you? ”

Albrecht said cautiously.

Charlotte glanced at him and said lightly:

"That's your problem, I just ask to be on call and ...... at the same time Do not affect my movements. ”

"That'...... Can I hide it? I only follow you in secret, so as not to affect your plans, you ...... When you need me, just call me, and I'll be there for you. ”

Albrecht said with a look of hope.

After speaking, as if he was afraid that Charlotte would misunderstand, he quickly explained:

"You...... Rest assured, Albrecht was in no way planning to run away, nor did he not want to stay by your side, but simply wanted to better serve you in the dark! ”

Listening to Albrecht's words, Charlotte gave him a strange look.

This guy ...... Scared of her so much?

However, Albrecht hid it to her heart's content, lest she prepare her identity.

She wasn't worried that this guy would run away, there was a blood servant contract, and it was useless for Albrecht to escape.

"Yes, just do as you say."

Charlotte said.

Albrecht was granted amnesty.

He bowed to Charlotte and said eagerly:

"So...... Lord Count, Albrecht will step aside, and if you need it, call Albrecht at any time! ”

Charlotte bowed slightly.

Albrecht retreated, and quickly disappeared into the darkness, as if fearing Charlotte to repent.

The eager look is very similar to a primary school student who was called to the office by the head teacher to reprimand and then let go.

Charlotte withdrew her gaze, no longer paying attention to the direction in which he had disappeared.

She could sense through the Blood Tome that Albrecht wasn't really gone, and that he was still nearby.

It's just that I've kept a distance from her.

"Alright, next...... Let's go meet the heir of the falling star. ”

Charlotte glanced at the banquet hall and said.

……

After the meeting with Albrecht, Charlotte returned to the banquet hall.

There were more people in the banquet hall than there was when she left.

As soon as Charlotte entered, she noticed the nobles gathered in the center of the banquet hall, and Jurst was among them.

Beside him stood a young man dressed in a magnificent aristocratic robe.

The young man looked to be about twenty or thirty years old, his expression was a little melancholy, and he still had the infeid of the Roman family pinned to his chest, which was obviously Prince Henry, the crown prince of the Falling Star Kingdom.

Noticing the returning Charlotte, Jurster hurriedly gestured to her, and Charlotte bowed her head slightly and quickly walked over.

For a while, almost all the eyes of everyone in the venue were focused on Charlotte.

"Your Royal Highness, this is the lord of the Northlands, Count Castel, Charlotte de Castel."

An old nobleman glanced at Charlotte's family coat of arms and introduced the starry Prince Henry.

"Your Royal Highness, Gui'an, I am Charlotte de Castre."

Charlotte pinched the corners of her skirt and bowed gracefully.

Prince Henry's eyes lit up, the haze between his eyebrows dissipated, and he hurriedly said enthusiastically:

"Welcome! Your Excellency Count Castel, welcome to my Romance Ceremony, you are as beautiful as it is rumored, no...... It's more beautiful than the rumors! ”

"Hmm...... Ahem......"

The old nobleman on the side coughed lightly a few times, and Prince Henry noticed his gaffe, he blushed slightly, and then straightened his expression again, and said to Charlotte:

"Your Excellency, you are welcome to my banquet."

The old nobleman looked relieved at this time, and introduced himself with a smile:

"Hello, Lord Castel, I am the Duke of Conte and an advisor to His Royal Highness the Prince."

After speaking, he glanced at the surrounding nobles again, and introduced Charlotte one after another;

"This is Count Roman, the greatest contributor to this feast; This is the Count of Comori and the court advisor of the Falling Star; This is Count Jurst, and you should know him well......"

Duke Conte introduced them one by one, and Charlotte also saluted, which was regarded as a recognition of the highest-ranking star nobles in the venue.

What surprised her a little was that there were not many high-ranking nobles attending the banquet, and the Duke was the Duke of Conte alone, and the rest were only earls, viscounts, and barons, and most of them were inextricably linked to the royal family.

Obviously, as Jurst said, the nobles in the Kingdom of the Falling Star are not optimistic about the current Prince Henry.

In the past month, rumors about Prince Henry's origins have spread throughout the Ness clan, even reaching the territory of Castel, even Charlotte has heard of it.

There is no need to think about it, the Falling Star Kingdom must be more flooded, otherwise, it is obviously the crown prince's bloodline recognition ceremony, and it is impossible for only so few nobles to participate.

Charlotte smiled as she talked to the nobles of the Falling Star.

Prince Henry and the other nobles of Falling Star seemed to be quite interested in the Castel War and the Rutthia turmoil some time ago, and asked a lot of questions, and Charlotte also answered them one by one, causing the nobles to marvel one after another.

"This is the very bad thing about the Crescent Kingdom, Louis V is stubborn and self-serving, suppressing the nobles without a bottom line, far less than our Falling Star Kingdom respects the rights of the nobles!"

Prince Henry shook his head and said.

Charlotte was noncommittal, smiling.

Seeing that she didn't make an evaluation, Prince Henry hurriedly said:

"Lord Castel, I'm interested in the customs of the Northlands, can I talk to you?"

Charlotte smiled slightly:

"Of course, Your Highness."

Charlotte soon introduced Prince Henry to her own domain, from the customs of Castel to the specialties of Castre.

Prince Henry listened with relish, and from time to time he would ask some questions, and Charlotte also answered them one by one, satisfying the curiosity of Prince Henry and many of the nobles who fell into the stars.

Eventually, Charlotte shifted the conversation to Castell's wealthy Mithril resources.

"Mithril...... What the Falling Star Kingdom lacks most is Mithril, I wonder if the Earl is willing to engage in extraordinary trade with the nobles of the Falling Star? ”

Some nobles couldn't help but ask.

The corners of Charlotte's mouth are slightly hooked:

"Absolutely."

The direct vassals of the kingdom have the right to dispose of their own extraordinary resources, and one of the purposes of Charlotte's coming to the Principality of Romance to participate in the ceremony is also to open up the sales of her own extraordinary resources and alchemy products in the Falling Star Kingdom, so as to exchange for some extraordinary materials of the Falling Star.

The Kingdom of the Falling Star lacks Mithril, but because it is an island country, there is a well-known extraordinary fishing ground in Miria, where a large number of sea-born demonic beasts are caught every year, and a large number of alchemy materials are produced.

After some exchanges, Charlotte successfully made several trade agreements with several nobles in the Falling Star, and some nobles were even willing to introduce Castel to the noble circle of the Falling Star Kingdom.

Charlotte was quite satisfied.

The channels of extraordinary resources are naturally as abundant as possible.

Before she knew it, the banquet, which lasted for more than four hours, was over, and Charlotte was very rewarded and satisfied.

This banquet really surprised her, she thought that Prince Henry invited her to the ceremony for other purposes, and the banquet invitation was the same, but in fact it was really just a banquet to welcome nobles to the ceremony.

Although Prince Henry was quite enthusiastic when he chatted, and there was no lack of solicitation between words, he only stayed in words.

Throughout the banquet, there were very few nobles with a higher status than Charlotte, and there were no long-eyed guys who offended her.

It can be said that ...... This is the most relaxed aristocratic banquet Charlotte has attended in more than a year.

"There is really no conspiracy on the part of Prince Henry to invite you to a banquet, the clan's plans are going well, and the nobles of the country are already quite suspicious of his origins, and whether he can pass the recognition ceremony or not, someone in parliament will impeach him on this ground."

"Therefore, he needs to invite enough nobles of status to participate in the ceremony and watch the ceremony."

"Maybe you haven't realized that although your identity is an earl on the surface, in the eyes of many nobles, your status is already comparable to some dukes, not to mention, you still have Roman blood in your body, for Prince Henry, inviting you to the ceremony is a good choice."

Jurst explained with a smile.

Charlotte bowed her head slightly and sighed:

"He's not bad, much better than many of the nobles I've seen before, it's a pity."

"Hey, you don't have to be so sorry, he invited you to the ceremony and banquet may really have no conspiracy, but it is definitely not so pure, the royal family should also have the idea of marrying you, if Prince Henry passes the ceremony, he will definitely mention it."

Jurst shook his head.

Charlotte frowned:

"But I've declared celibacy."

Jurst shook his head:

"The declaration could not stop the will of the great nobles, of course...... The choice is in your hands, if you don't want to, they can't force it, in my opinion, they should use various ways to win you over. ”

Charlotte was stunned and shook her head:

"Then they're going to do useless work."

Yurst thought for a moment and said:

"By the way, Lord Castel, the ceremony will begin tomorrow, and for your double, we need a little of your blood to shape it, and we need a little bit of your blood. Rest assured, we won't be doing anything else with your blood, and if you don't, you can come with me to meet Lord Yoroc and get your avatar shaped on the spot. ”

Charlotte hooked the corners of her mouth and shook her head slightly:

"It doesn't have to be."

As she spoke, she smiled a little wickedly:

"About the 'stand-in'...... I have a better option. ”

……

The Roman Pavilion.

The banquet was over, and the tired Prince Henry returned to his room.

He paced back and forth anxiously until the door was pushed open and the Duke of Conte entered.

Prince Henry's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward:

"Kang Teqing, how is it?"

Duke Conte nodded:

"Everything is ready, please rest assured, tomorrow's ceremony will be fine."

Prince Henry breathed a sigh of relief.

As if thinking of something, he hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Kang Teqing, I think...... The countess of Castel really did not seem to have any intention of looking for a mate, and all my hints during the day were ignored by her. ”

Duke Conte sighed:

"After all, she is a saint recognized by the Holy Court, and since she has made a declaration of celibacy, it must be true."

"That'...... So what to do? If I don't get strong support, the nobility of the kingdom is likely to oppose me, and the geographical location of Castel ......"

Prince Henry asked worriedly.

Prince Kante continued:

"Your Highness, don't worry, even if we can't get married, we have other ways to deal with the risk, as for the Northland...... The geographical location of the Northland is indeed a threat to the Falling Star, and if it cannot be friends or controlled, it is likely to give an opportunity to those enemies who are secretly trying to coup d'état, which is why His Majesty has been secretly supporting the regime's subversive activities in the Northland before, but ...... That's not something we need to think about right now, and even if it's a coup, it's the worst step. ”

"What we need to think about now is the Ancestor Recognition Ceremony, as long as you can capture the Sword of Romance once and for all, as Ancestor Romanus did, any rumors will be self-defeating. As long as you get the Sword of Romance and have the artifact to suppress it, even the nobles who want a coup d'état will have to weigh their own weight! ”

Prince Henry hesitated:

"Capture the Sword of Romance once and for all? I...... Can I really do it? ”

"You can, Your Majesty has been preparing for this day for a long, long time, and your mother was chosen because your mother had the blood of the elves of the same origin as Romanus! Not only that, Your Majesty also used the Book of Contracts hidden by the Roman Family, with the Book of Contracts, coupled with your special bloodline, the Sword of Romance will definitely recognize you as the master and will definitely be used by you! You...... Will definitely become its master. ”

Duke Conte comforted.

Prince Henry still hesitated:

"But...... Doesn't it mean that my Roman bloodline is not enough to activate the Book of Contracts? ”

The Duke of Conte snorted and said:

"It is true that your Roman blood may not be enough, but we have found a bloodline that can activate it, and we will definitely be able to obtain fresh blood to activate the Book of Contracts in time!"

Prince Henry was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened:

"You mean...... Count of Castel?! ”

Duke Conte bowed slightly:

"Exactly."

"Although few people know about it, the Count of Castel does have the blood of the orthodox Roman, and the Earl of Castel was invited to the ceremony, not only for the possible marriage, but also for her Romanese blood."

"I've secretly prepared the manpower, and tomorrow at the ceremony, we can fake her double, and quietly control her and obtain fresh Roman blood while she participates in the ceremony."

"She's just Silver Moon, not enough to resist the power of the blazing sun, we'll stun her and disguise it as an unexpected attack against her......"

"And you will activate the Book of Contracts with the help of her fresh blood, and successfully obtain the Sword of Roman, after which, we can even play a play to save the beauty of heroes!"

"Even if you can't capture the heart of Count Castell, you can still gain a great favor!"

As he spoke, Duke Conte narrowed his eyes, sneered, and said:

"It's ridiculous that those nobles who are entangled with the blood clan think that you are just participating in an ancestral recognition ceremony to obtain the approval of the Roman Sword, and they are also trying to deny your inheritance!"

"They don't know that your bloodline is special, and they don't know that the lost Book of Romance Contracts has long been recovered by His Majesty! I didn't know that we already had a complete plan to completely obtain the Sword of Romance! ”

"Wait until tomorrow, they will know who is the true heir of the falling star, and wait until tomorrow, they will know that the royal family's heritage is beyond their imagination!"

Listening to Duke Conte's words, Prince Henry's expression relaxed a lot.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Kang Teqing, please tomorrow, if it really succeeds, I will ascend the throne in the future, and I will definitely make you the head of the cabinet!"
