Listening to Charlotte's words, the surrounding nobles and royal knights were stunned.

They followed Charlotte's gaze and saw that the "Count of Castell", who had just looked exactly like Charlotte, had completely turned into a strange-looking mercenary.

Thinking of the way the "Count of Castel" rode in the VIP carriage of the Falling Star Royal Family, the expressions of several elders of the Roman family who were in charge of presiding over the ceremony suddenly changed.

They looked at each other, thought of a lot in an instant, and quickly came back to their senses.

"Guards! Listen to orders! Arrest this mercenary pretending to be Lord Count Castel! ”

Elder Roman, who was the leader, said sharply.

The mercenary mage's expression changed, and he turned around and fled, but with the dragonization of Odosia, the royal knights gathered here were already all elites, and the leading knights led by him were also Blazing Sun.

With the magic energy array unfolding, the Blazing Sun mercenary mage, who was already in a magical disorder under the attack of Odosia, was controlled by the royal knights before he had time to make an effective resistance.

"Your Excellency the Earl of Castel, Your Excellency the Elder, this ...... What the hell is going on? ”

The nobles looked at the royal knights in disbelief.

Charlotte glanced at the silent mercenary mage, chuckled, and said:

"What's going on?"

"This ...... You're going to have to ask this mercenary lady, or Prince Henry and Duke Conte. ”

"I also want to know, I just came to the ceremony at the invitation of the Falling Star Kingdom, but why was it kidnapped by the Roman family?"

Prince Henry and Duke Conte?

Hijack?

The aristocrats looked at each other.

The nobleman at the head coughed lightly, his expression was a little sad, and he reminded him a little heavily:

"Your Excellency, Your Royal Highness the Prince has been brutally murdered in the ceremony just now......"

After speaking, his expression brought a little gossip again:

"Well, you said hijacking...... What's going on? ”

"Prince Henry was murdered?"

Charlotte looked surprised, unaware.

She narrowed her eyes, and her gaze fell on several elders of the Roman Clan:

"Romance royal family...... Is this an extinction? ”

Several elders of the Roman clan who presided over the ceremony changed color in unison:

"Your Excellency! Please be careful! ”

Charlotte, of course, knew that it wasn't the Romance royal who had just killed Prince Henry.

She could clearly "see" underground, that the magic that burned Prince Henry was the Dark Fire, a type of black magic that was not uncommon, and at the same time ...... It's also a natural magic of the Bloodline.

Combined with the familiar aura she perceived, Charlotte knew that the one who shot should also be a legendary bloodline, and it might have something to do with the Ness clan.

As a "True Ancestor", she could detect these things, but the elders of the Roman clan in front of her didn't know about them.

However, although these elders did not know who killed Prince Henry, judging from their reactions, Charlotte estimated that they should have guessed how Prince Henry activated the Book of Contracts.

Here she puts all the blame on the Romance royal family, just to prevent the Romance royal family from splashing the dirty water of Prince Henry's death on her.

This is highly likely, after all, no one knows how many people from the Falling Star Royal Family were involved in her abduction.

And this kind of hijacking is definitely a huge scandal for the Falling Star royal family.

Prince Henry is dead, and his death is so sudden that many things may be exposed if he is caught off guard.

Charlotte had to guard against it.

For the sake of fame and stability, the Roman royal family who dared to hijack her is indeed likely to be beaten back and blame everything on her head.

Charlotte thought clearly.

Anyway, a lot of things can't be hidden, so in order to avoid becoming a scapegoat, let's tell some things directly in front of these nobles.

"Caution? Hehe, what you said is good, the Falling Star Royal Family invited me to watch the ceremony, but the mercenaries in ambush and hijacked me halfway, if it weren't for the fact that my Castel family still has some hole cards, otherwise I'm afraid I'm still under control at this time. ”

Charlotte scoffed.

Looking at Charlotte, who looked dissatisfied, and the nobles around him who pricked up their ears, several elders of the Roman clan were older.

"Ahem, Lord Count Castel, there may be some misunderstanding in this...... What exactly happened, we will definitely find out, the Roman family...... I'll definitely give you an explanation. ”

The leader elder said apologetically.

"Forget it, I don't want to be kidnapped again, even Prince Henry can be killed, who knows if it will be me next?"

Charlotte shook her head.

After speaking, she glanced at Odosia:

"Odosia, let's go!"

Under the somewhat embarrassed gazes of several Roman clan elders, Charlotte left the square.

And the nobles who had not yet left the square fell into discussion again:

"Hijacking? The royal family kidnapped the Count of Castel? ”

"The mercenary...... Is it a stand-in? ”

"Castel...... Cass...... Hiss - Could it be that Prince Henry activated the Book of Contracts with the blood of Count Castel?! ”

"This ...... No way? Does the Earl of Castel have Roman blood?! ”

"That'...... Who killed His Royal Highness? ”

"I didn't see it clearly, but I was able to assassinate in front of the Roman Sword...... At least legendary, I'm afraid. ”

"Could it be...... Is it someone from the Red Lilac side? ”

"But His Royal Highness was denied by the Sword of Roman, and the ceremony has failed, does it still make sense for them to make a move? And...... Looking at the meaning of the Sword of Romance, it seems that the person who actually activates the Book of Contracts is more in line with the requirements of the artifact. ”

"His Royal Highness was about to say Castre's name, but he was silenced, could it be ...... That's why His Royal Highness the Prince was killed? ”

"But...... It doesn't make sense, after all, the Earl of Castel is safe and sound......"

The aristocrats are not stupid.

After some whispering, the sharp-minded guy quickly sensed the truth, but some people had more doubts.

However, the nobles already have a faint answer in their hearts about the real contract person......

"Speaking of which...... I've heard a rumor that the previous count of the Castell family married the countess was a member of the royal family of the Falling Star Kingdom. ”

There are aristocrats who are not sure about the authenticity.

"A member of the royal family of the Falling Star Kingdom?"

Others were thoughtful.

"Go back and find out, what is the identity of the Countess of Castel in the previous generation."

Some of the more astute nobles whispered orders to the attendants beside them.

On the other side, the elders of the Roman family, who watched Charlotte leave, also slowly withdrew their gaze.

With a long sigh, he commanded the knight beside him:

"What happened today, and the bad news of His Royal Highness...... Report to the royal capital through the Mage Tower, what to do, everything ...... Your Majesty is please. ”

……

Charlotte returns to the hotel with Odosia.

When she returned, Jurst was already waiting here.

"Really...... Lord Castel ......"

He hurriedly saluted respectfully.

Charlotte noticed that his expression was a little heavy.

Her heart moved, and she asked:

"The ...... who killed Prince Henry Is it your people? ”

Jurst hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

"Look at the breath...... It seems that yes, it seems to be Elder Alec of the Luna Island faction......"

As he spoke, as if he was worried that Charlotte had misunderstood, Jurst hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty! This was not in our plans, and the Ness Clan had no intention of killing Prince Henry...... Even if he says you're the true contractor, the Ness Clan has no intention of making you hostile. ”

"This ...... Either it's Elder Alec's own actions, or it's the decision of the Luna Island faction, and it has nothing to do with the Falling Star faction! ”

Listening to Jurst's words, Charlotte was a little surprised.

She gave Jurst a strange look:

"It seems that the Ness clan is ...... It doesn't seem to be stable. ”

Jurst was speechless for a moment, which was regarded as an acknowledgement.

The Ness clan is divided into two factions, Star and Luna Island, which is also a well-known thing for the bloodline.

Closing her eyes and sensing Albrecht's state, Charlotte said:

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to go through these troubled waters, I have some things to deal with, don't let people disturb me."

Jurst respectfully replied and bowed.

Charlotte ordered Odosia to lock the door and guard the outside, then entered her room and communicated with the Blood Sacred Book to sink into consciousness.

The ancestral rite was suspended, but the purpose of her trip had not yet been achieved.

She wanted to see what was going on with Albrecht, and she wanted to see if she could get a chance to take the fully awakened Roman Sword into her hands.

If it was just an ordinary artifact, she might have fulfilled her agreement with the Ness clan and watched the other party take back the Roman Sword, but if the Roman Sword itself was made of a faceless god...... That's another story.

……

In the northern part of the Duchy of Roman, in a secret stronghold of the Ness clan.

A black-robed Ness descendant gathered here and waited for him.

With a burst of spatial fluctuations, a red circular circle slowly emerged, and a tall figure fell out of it and appeared in front of the bloodborns.

It was an ice elf with silver and blue hair.

It's just that, unlike the other ice elves, his eyes are scarlet, and under a slight gasp, he can still see two sharp teeth.

This is a Bloodline Elf.

At this moment, the elf looked rather embarrassed.

He had sword wounds in multiple places, and there seemed to be some kind of great force left in the wounds, and no matter how much his body repaired itself, the wriggling flesh buds could not heal the wounds.

However, the Bloodborne Elves didn't seem to care about the injury.

His eyes were bright, and he looked at the blood clan around him, with eagerness:

"You ...... How's the preparation going? ”

"Lord Alec, everything is ready, you can activate the sealing circle at any time!"

The Bloodclan replied respectfully.

"Excellent! Get ready to do it, it's coming. ”

The Bloodspawn Elf said.

As soon as he finished speaking, another red circle slowly appeared in the void.

The expressions of the blood clan quickly became nervous and solemn, and they were ready to make a move.

But the next moment, a slender voice came out of the circle:

"Alec! You lunatic! Why kill Prince Henry! ”

The brilliance of the circle flickered, and the figure of Duke Yoroc slowly emerged.

Seeing Duke Yoroc clearly, the blood clan was stunned:

"Lord Yorok?"

Jorok didn't look at the bloodborns, but stared at the blood-born elves who were hanging from the children:

"Alec, I need an explanation!"

"Explain? I would like to ask you, Lord Yoroc, did you allow Castel to attend the Patriarchal Recognition Ceremony, did you wish that Ness had been infiltrated by the myth behind the Northlands? ”

The Bloodspawn elf chuckled and asked rhetorically.

Duke Yorok's expression sank:

"Cooperation with the Northland is a decision passed by the Council of Elders, but why do you want to act on your own?"

"Did you know that your actions are likely to ruin our plan to return to the stars!"

The Bloodspawn chuckled:

"So what? At the very least, it's better than being infiltrated unconsciously, Corsey is asleep, and the Ness clan has no capital to fight against other myths. ”

"You're ......!"

"Okay, okay, Lord Yorok, dissipate your breath, the Roman Sword will soon catch up, although it is not as capable of teleportation magic as us, but I have already been marked, the artifact is an artifact after all, and the recovery work still needs to be carefully prepared."

Duke Yoroc looked at the bloodlines around him and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"You're going to use strong?"

"Hehe, it's angry now, persuasion doesn't necessarily work, let's be prepared."

"Alec, I have to tell you, today's ritual is not quite right, its power may not be as easy to control as you think."

"Are you trying to say that it has regained its strength? Hehe, Lord Yorok, it hasn't been able to regain its strength by relying on the worship of the Romans for so many years, and a ritual can't change anything, you know...... We are the only ones who can help it recover. ”

The Bloodline Elf said with a smile.

Duke Yoroc frowned, and before he could say something, a silver light chased from afar with a violent coercion, faintly accompanied by an angry roar:

"Ness! Stop me! ”

Looking at the sharp silver light that almost split the entire sky in half, and feeling the vast coercion that was even more terrifying than the scene of the ceremony just now, Duke Yorok's eyes suddenly widened.

He faintly made a comparison in his heart, and for a moment he felt that he probably wouldn't be able to hold out for a few rounds in front of this angry artifact......

Chasing all the way, the breath of the Roman Sword ...... It seems to be getting stronger!

Duke Yoroc subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva:

Alec ...... Is it the way it looks, are you sure you can successfully control it? ”

However, the Blood Elf behind him did not answer.

Yorok looked back in confusion, only to see that the figure of the Bloodline Elf had disappeared, only the black shadows that desperately fled into the distance, and the Bloodborns who had been left in place with a blank face.

Duke of Joroc: ......

"Alec! You bastard! ”

He roared angrily.

"About ...... Lord Yoroc, we ...... Do you still need to set up a formation? ”

The Bloodbreeds asked, stiff.

"the fart! Don't run yet! ”

Feeling the faint lock of the Roman Sword, the Duke of Yorok's scalp tingled, and he did not hesitate to flee into the distance......
