-76- The ceremony begins

After listening to Charlotte's words, Jurster immediately understood what she meant.

Obviously, although His Majesty has already snooped through the conspiracy of the Roman royal family, he still has no intention of changing his previous plans.

Even with the power of his old man, it is easy to forcibly destroy the plot of the Roman royal family.

And in this regard, Jurst realized almost instantly.

His Majesty the True Ancestor is willing to cooperate with the Ness Clan and assist the Ness Clan in abolishing Prince Henry's inheritance, and I am afraid that it is not as simple as being interested in the territorial conditions offered by Ness.

He is an old man...... I'm afraid there is a deeper purpose to this trip.

As for what the purpose was, Jolster couldn't say it yet, but he already had some guesses in his heart......

That should have something to do with the Sword of Romance.

"Could it be...... His Majesty is also interested in the Sword of Romance? ”

Jurst thought thoughtfully.

Thinking back to the Elders' expectations for retrieving the Roman Sword before leaving the clan, his expression was a little inexplicable.

If that's really the case......

Maybe...... This time, even the Ness clan is afraid that they will have to make a wedding dress for His True Ancestor......

At this moment, Yulst thought a lot, and also felt a headache about how to deal with the possible reaction of his own clan next.

He always felt that the purpose of the True Ancestor's crown was probably far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.

But soon, he put everything down.

What do you think.

It's true that he's the Blood Count of the Ness Clan, but he's also a blood dependant of the True Ancestor.

Two identities, the latter has an even higher priority for now.

His own life has been completely controlled by His True Ancestor, and he will do what His Majesty tells him to do.

Anyway, he did this according to the clan's explanation, and he didn't make a mistake in every step, and if something really happened, he couldn't blame him.

As for the loss of the interests of the Ness clan......

If His Majesty is not guilty of the past, and is not as obsessed with devouring other bloodlines as he was in the past, then ...... Maximizing support for the True Ancestor's Crown to regain his strength and return to the embrace of the True Ancestor may be the true and correct destination of the Ness Clan in the future......

Of course, that's just Jurst's current thoughts.

He knew that the idea was crazy and bold for the average Bloodline, and he knew how difficult it would be to get other Bloodlines to accept it.

Rather, even he himself was still skeptical of this idea.

But alas, he has already tied up the warship under the crown of the True Ancestor.

He had no choice but to fight for the best possible future for the Ness Clan.

Jurst's mood was a little complicated.

On the other hand, Charlotte really didn't think about it that much.

She just weighed the pros and cons and felt that there was no need to expose the conspiracy of the Roman royal family.

Anyway, the conspiracy has been discovered, and the plan is just the same, and the plans of the Roman royal family are similar to hers, it is nothing more than who will carry out the process.

In contrast, it is better to go with the flow of nature.

The Sword of Romance is an artifact after all.

According to the description, it is still the kind of artifact that has its own consciousness and is quite powerful in terms of preserved power.

In the face of such power, the devil knows what will happen then, so it is better to be cautious.

If something really happens, the Roman royal family can still take the blame.

With a decision, Charlotte decisively summoned the Shadow Fiend she had summoned.

The strength of the Shadow Demon is not very strong, and the power of the Median Demon is only the Silver Moon corresponding to the Order World.

However, because of its unique spatial and shadow properties, it is very suitable for shuttling between the virtual and the real, so it is very suitable for being a messenger.

Of course, the premise is that it can be controlled, after all, it is a notoriously anti-bone boy like other demons.

Shadow Fiend appeared, trembling under Charlotte's gaze.

Charlotte glanced at it and handed it the crystal vial containing her own blood:

"Give it to Albrecht, and he will know what to do."

Shadow Fiend cautiously took the crystal bottle, and after seeing the crimson liquid in the crystal bottle, the scarlet eyes showed greed and yearning that could not be concealed.

However, under Charlotte's faint gaze, it quickly closed its gaze in panic, honestly bowed deeply to Charlotte, and then fled as if it dissipated into black smoke.

Jurst watched the whole process in his eyes, and even felt that he was really blind before.

How could an ordinary human be so obedient to a demon?

Not to mention humans, he can't do it, and I'm afraid it's hard for Lord Yorok to do it!

I didn't think about it so much before, and I always felt that it was the blessing of the identity of the True Ancestor Practitioner, but now it seems that it is just because His Excellency Castel is the True Ancestor!

The more Yurst thought about it, the more embarrassed and uncomfortable he felt about the attitudes and practices of his previous association with the True Ancestor Crown.

It's okay not to know Charlotte's identity.

Once he knew that, he would no longer be able to be in the same room as the other party with a normal heart.

Especially in such a small dark room, it's like meeting a big boss in the elevator alone in the company, mental pressure, it's really not an ordinary big ......

"Ahem, Castel...... Your Excellency, I have other clan tasks to complete, so ...... Let's ...... first."

Jurst asked cautiously.

"You go about your business, and everything goes on as usual."

Charlotte said.

With Charlotte's permission, Jurst bowed deeply to Charlotte and then left impatiently.

It can't be helped, it's too stressful to stay here, and he needs to take a break.

"Hey, Lord Charlotte, he seems to be intimidated by who you are."

Looking at Yurst as he escaped from the homeroom teacher's office, Ness laughed.

Charlotte glanced at the gloating black cat, and did not debunk that when the other party recognized her as the "True Ancestor", her performance during that time was even more exaggerated than that of Jurst.

"Hehe, Lord Charlotte, I'll go outside and check the ritual circle and see how he's doing."

Ness smirked.

Charlotte glanced at it angrily, and didn't bother to point out that this guy wanted to check that the ritual was probably fake, and it was possible that Yulst's fun was real:

"Get out, get out."

"Howler!"

Nice happily slipped out.

Charlotte: ......

……

After leaving the dark room, Jurst finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay not to know the identity of Count Castell, but after knowing it, he can really feel that invisible pressure every second he stays.

He felt ...... It will take me some time to fully digest this shocking result, to calm myself down, to relax as much as possible, and to continue to communicate with the "Count of Castel" on an "equal" basis.

"Hey, Jurst, you can't do this psychological quality! Knowing the identity of Lord Charlotte, you were scared like this? At the beginning, even if I knew his identity, I would climb up and down on his old man's bed every day! ”

Behind him, Nice's voice came over that was not too loud to see the excitement, full of banter.

Jurst was taken aback.

He turned his head to look and saw Nice's smug cat face, and knew that this guy didn't hold back his fart, and he just came over to see how scared he looked.

But he was not stupid, glared back fiercely, and sneered:

"Oh? Climbing up and down His old man's bed? So crawling and crawling, he climbed himself into a pet cat, and even signed a deed of sale that a dog would hate to see like a servant contract, right? ”

Nice:......

Its expression froze on its face, and it couldn't stop laughing.

Seeing Nice's black and red cat face, Jurst knew that he had found its sore spot 100%.

However, he did not continue to hurt each other, but sighed:

"So...... In fact, she has already discovered her old man's true identity, right? ”

Ness snorted:

"Of course, I knew it at least two years ago, and we even witnessed the resurgence of her old man!"

Listening to Nice's words, Jurst fell silent.

His expression changed for a long time, and finally he couldn't help but ask:

"Your Excellency Nicholas, you ...... To today's Castel...... What do you think, Your Excellency? ”

Ness glanced at him and replied:

"It's completely different from the one I know about her, but...... This is not in a negative sense, on the contrary, but in a positive sense. ”

"To be honest, at the beginning of the contract, I almost thought I was going to be finished, but it turned out that things weren't as bad as I thought they would."

"No...... More precisely, sometimes it's even a little exciting to think about. ”

"If it were her now, I'd love to see her regain her power."

"After all...... Participating in myths and epics is not an opportunity for everyone. ”

Listening to Nice's words, Jurst muttered to himself:

"Do you think so too......"

Looking at a thoughtful Jurst, Ness roughly guessed what he was struggling with.

It chuckled and said:

"Don't be so apprehensive and hesitant to be so apprehensive and hesitant, anyway...... You're already in her old man's chariot. ”

"You can't change anything, it's better to adapt than to change."

"In my opinion, this is not a bad thing for you or the Ness Clan, she is completely different from the terrifying existence we perceive."

"Some people say that every resurrection of a myth can be a complete rebirth of nirvana."

"I want to ...... For her, it should be the same. ”

Listening to Nice's words, Jurst thought:

"Nirvana Reborn......

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh:

"I hope so."

It must be admitted that he has no dissatisfaction with the current True Ancestor.

His fears simply stem from the past.

He also sincerely hoped that the true ancestor in history who suddenly changed his personality and killed his bloodline in pursuit of power...... Will never come back.

……

"Really...... Is that your response? ”

"Looks like you don't want to make a big deal out of it."

Taking the crystal bottle from the obedient Shadow Fiend, Albrecht looked surprised and thoughtful.

He looked at the crystal red blood in the crystal bottle, and there was also a hint of greed in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Blood of the True Ancestors!

This is the blood that contains the highest bloodline power, and it is also the source of the bloodline's power!

Even if it was just a drop, he could clearly feel a certain palpitating and intimate power contained in it.

That's the true ancestor's divine power!

"Although his personality seems to be different, he is indeed the true ancestor crown, and this is indeed the blood of the true ancestor! Even more pure and noble than the power in the Faceless Idol! ”

Albrecht muttered to himself.

Forcibly suppressing the crazy idea of wanting to possess this drop of True Ancestor's blood, his expression even had a faint hint of jealousy:

"To be able to obtain a drop of True Ancestor's blood as a key to activation, the Book of Romance Contracts is really lucky."

"It's cheap!"

After saying that, he squinted his eyes again at the puppets around him who had temporarily controlled their consciousness, and sneered:

"It's cheaper for you, too! Picked up a life in vain! ”

With that, Albrecht prepared to hand over the crystal bottle to the Count of Corimo, who had been manipulated.

But when he stretched out his hand, his heart suddenly moved and stopped.

He looked at the other party's figure, suddenly chuckled, and touched his chin:

"Speaking of which, my illusions are actually pretty good."

……

Roman Square.

As the dignitaries took their seats, the grand ceremony officially began.

The "recognition" ceremony of the crown prince of the falling star, the number of people watching the ceremony was naturally crowded.

Although it was snubbed for political reasons in the aristocratic circles of the upper echelons of the falling star, for the people, such a grand festival was naturally a grand event.

The huge square is densely packed, and the people standing inside and outside are full of people watching the ceremony, and as far as the eye can see, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands.

And if you add in the congested streets nearby, the number of onlookers will only increase.

The festival of "Ancestral Approval" is divided into three parts.

The first part is a speech, in which Prince Henry, who is the successor of the Roman family, will appear in front of the public to take the oath and make a speech.

The second part is the Great Witch Sacrifice, which is a worship of the Romans and a prelude to the recognition ceremony.

And the third part is the formal ritual part.

According to the usual practice, the Roman family will awaken the Roman Sword and officially begin to recognize and strengthen the Roman bloodline.

The festival went well.

Although Prince Henry is young, he is a qualified nobleman after all, and although his speech is not excellent, it is also commensurate with the status of the crown prince.

There is no problem with the Great Witch Festival.

As an ancestor worship ritual approved by the Holy Royal Court, the great witch sacrifice of the Roman family has long lost its mysterious meaning, but has only become a symbol, so there are no hidden dangers and difficulties.

Issue...... Out of the most critical part that has not yet begun.

"Isn't anyone from the palace here yet?"

Behind the curtain of the viewing platform, Duke Kante looked at the royal knights with a somewhat anxious expression.

"Your Excellency, not yet."

The royal knight replied respectfully.

"The stand-in is already in place, and the person has been sent to the palace, is it so difficult to get a blood?!"

"Let's go and see what's going on, the Great Witch Festival is almost over, let them hurry up and send things over!"

Duke Conte frowned and urged.

The knight respectfully replied and withdrew.

The Duke of Cont paced anxiously.

And just when he couldn't help but want to urge again and even run in person, the royal knight finally brought someone to arrive.

It's the Count of Corrimo.

"I'm sorry, Lord Duke, the vicinity of the palace is too big, I accidentally got lost, and I'm late."

Count Corimo said with a smile.

Looking at the other party's unhurried underbeating appearance, Duke Kante suddenly burst into flames:

"Lost? How many times have you been to the Roman Palace, and you still get lost? If we delay our plans, have you thought about the consequences?! ”

As he spoke, he barely suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and asked in a low voice:

"Did you bring anything with you?"

"Already brought here, Count Castel's blood."

The Count of Corimo smiled and handed over the crystal bottle.

Looking at the crimson liquid in the crystal bottle, Duke Conte's expression softened slightly.

He glanced deeply at Count Corrimo:

"It's not bad, remember to deal with the follow-up."

With that, he strode towards the viewing platform.

The Great Witch Festival is over.

There is a ten-minute break before the Ancestral Rite officially begins.

On the viewing platform, Prince Henry clutched a quaint book and fidgeted.

Until he saw the Duke of Conte hurrying in.

Prince Henry's eyes lit up, and the Duke of Conte quickly came to his side and quietly handed the crystal bottle to him:

"Your Highness, the blood of the Count of Castel has been obtained."

After getting the crystal bottle, Prince Henry finally made up his mind.

Thinking of the beautiful figure he saw at the banquet last night, he couldn't help but ask:

She ...... Are you okay? ”

The Duke of Conte was stunned for a moment before realizing who Prince Henry was referring to, and he glanced at the "Count of Castell" on the other side, and the "Count of Castel" on the other side said:

"Your Highness, please rest assured, we didn't hurt her, we just stunned her, even if it was to take blood, we would be as gentle as possible."

"Well, that's good, she will be the future princess after all."

Prince Henry nodded.

The break ended quickly.

The ancestor recognition ceremony is finally about to officially begin.

The nobles returned to their seats, and the elders from the Roman family announced the beginning of the ceremony.

"Your Royal Highness, the ceremony is about to begin, please go to the altar and call on the Roman Sword!"

The elder said in a deep voice.

Prince Henry, who was ready for everything, took a deep breath and stood up in the midst of all the attention.

He picked up the Book of Romance, hid the crystal bottle, and walked towards the altar on the high platform in the center of the square, a little nervous and a little expectant......
