-85- Heirs

"Card ...... Lord Castel, are you sure you want to go back? Don't spend a few more days at Roman's side? ”

In the aristocratic inn of Ron City, looking at the maid of the Castel family who was busy packing her luggage, Jurst hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.

Charlotte leaned leisurely against the window.

While looking down at the bustling city, she shook her head and said:

"No need, the ancestor recognition ceremony has failed, there are still many things to deal with on the Northland side, and there is no need for me to stay here any longer."

As she spoke, she smiled at Eulst:

"Don't look at me like this, actually...... I'm also very busy. ”

The golden sunlight poured through the window on the girl's body, gilding her with a layer of brilliance, and her already beautiful face seemed to become even more dreamy in the sweet smile.

Even Yulst was unconsciously stunned, but knowing the true identity of the other party, he quickly reacted, and quickly lowered his head respectfully and panickedly.

Being fascinated by the sight of his ancestors, Jurst felt that he was really getting more and more outrageous.

"Jurst, Prince Henry is dead, so our contract should be completed, right? When you get back, remember to remind the Ness clan to complete their agreement with Castel! ”

Looking at Jurst who lowered his head, Charlotte tilted her head and said with a smile.

Jurst smiled bitterly and nodded:

"Please rest assured, although the process has exceeded expectations, the Ness clan has always been a blood clan that abides by the contract, and when it officially takes power, the clan will hand over the sovereignty of the Romanid to the Castel family."

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment and sighed again:

"It's just...... You may have to wait a little longer, at least ...... We have to wait until the political situation of the falling star is settled. ”

"Although the death of Prince Henry has fundamentally cut off the heir to Lilac, it has also led us to a complete break with the current royal family, and some nobles who were originally inclined to us may also distrust us, so ...... The clan may need to spend more time settling down the country. ”

Listening to Jurst's words, Charlotte bowed slightly:

"Well, understand, understand, do you need my help?"

Jurst was taken aback:

"No...... No more! You're hearted to help the clan, and Jurst is very grateful, but ...... Forget it, after this ceremony, I am afraid that the background of your body will be completely revealed soon, and the Earl of Castel has a special status...... It is not advisable to get involved in strife during the turmoil on the throne of the Falling Star, and I am afraid that the clan will not be happy to see this. ”

"Although Lord Yoroc persuaded the Council of Elders to form an alliance with Castel, more of the people are actually quite wary of the 'gods' behind Castel."

"With all due respect, there is still a great fear within the clan about the return of the True Ancestor, even if it is for the Holy Advent Day, one of its greatest purposes is to prevent the liquidation of the True Ancestor who may return......"

"So ......"

Charlotte nodded:

"I know, it takes more time, right?"

Jurst breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly:

"That's right."

As he spoke, as if he was worried that Charlotte would misunderstand, he hurriedly said:

"But...... Rest assured, I am already a family of your blood and have witnessed your kindness, I would like to ...... If you are now, as long as you have enough time, you will definitely be able to win the support of your ethnic group. ”

Charlotte smiled and said:

"I'm not in a hurry, with my current strength, I actually don't have that plan for the time being, after all...... Strength is fundamental. ”

"But...... I heard that the Ness clan still retains a certain amount of blood divine power, and even has an artifact created by a faceless god itself, do you know this? ”

Jurst hesitated for a moment and said:

"You mean to talk about the Clan's Star Crystal, right?"

"The clan did create an artifact out of the Faceless Idol, no...... It should be said that it is a holy weapon, and it is currently in the hands of Lord Yorok. ”

"As for the divine power of blood...... I don't know, but they should all be kept by the Council of Elders, after all, the few artifacts left by His Crown Cauchy are also kept by the Council of Elders. ”

"That...... Your Excellency, Lord Count Castel, you ...... Are you planning to get these things back? ”

Charlotte glanced at him:

"Can you do it?"

Jurst was a little embarrassed:

"Fear ...... I'm afraid not, after all, I'm just a little Count of Blood. ”

Charlotte smiled:

"It's okay, I don't have any intention of taking control of the Ness clan right now, you can just continue to lurk within the clan, of course, if you can find more supporters, it would be better."

"After I go back this time, maybe I'll sleep for a while, and you have time to make all kinds of preparations in the Ness Clan."

Listening to Charlotte's words, Yurst's heart moved:

"Shen ...... Sleeping? You...... Are you about to regain your strength further? ”

Charlotte smiled, noncommittal.

"Lord Charlotte, the carriage is ready, and we can be on our way at any time."

There was a soft knock on the door, and the voice of the maid Shirley came in.

Charlotte nodded and said:

"Got it."

With that, she smiled at Jurst:

"Jurst, I hope you can surprise me the next time I see you."

After speaking, Charlotte left the room, accompanied by Odosia.

"Really...... No, Lord Castel! ”

Jurst hesitated, then quickly stopped her.

Charlotte paused slightly.

"Lord Jurst, any more questions?"

Charlotte asked.

Jurster looked apprehensive.

After some struggle, he shook his head again:

"No...... Nothing, I wish you a nice trip. ”

Charlotte glanced at his obviously preoccupied face, and with a stir in her heart, she asked:

"Lord Jurst, within the Ness Clan...... Is there really no problem? ”

Jurst was stunned.

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head:

"No...... No, at least...... Not at the moment. ”

Charlotte looked at him deeply:

"If there is any difficulty, just ask me for help, after all...... We are also 'allies'. ”

Jurst bowed respectfully:

"I will."

Leaving the hotel, Charlotte got into a carriage, and Castel's convoy slowly set off for the harbor.

They came by boat, and they went by boat.

Charlotte waved her hand to signal that Jurst didn't have to send it again, and then closed the curtains.

And after the curtain of the carriage closed, a silver light appeared, and an illusory pocket elf two-handed sword slowly appeared beside Charlotte:

"Hey, he must have wanted to ask about my whereabouts just now, and his thoughts are going to be written on his face!"

"Your Majesty, don't you really plan to take the opportunity to seize the power of the Ness Clan? This is the best time to do it, and they're in big trouble this time! ”

This is the artifact projection of the Roman's Sword, which only Charlotte, as the owner, can see.

Looking at the Roman Sword gloating beside her, Charlotte raised her eyebrows:

"Oh, how do you say that?"

"Of course, it's because it was the Ness bloodline of Luna Island who killed Roman's heir, and there is already a tendency to split within the Ness bloodline, and Luna Island and Falling Star have been competing for the dominance of the clan, this time...... I'm afraid it's going to be lively. ”

"Hehe, don't you think this is the best time to take advantage of the situation? Whether it's the Ness clan or the Roman family! ”

Roman's Sword said with some.

Charlotte glanced at this schadenfreude artifact, and did not expose the other party as completely unlucky, and at the same time wanted to see others unlucky.

This guy has a grudge, and it is estimated that eighty percent of the hatred for planting it into his own hands is also counted in the Ness clan and the Roman family, and he is putting it on the fire here.

Seeing Charlotte's unmoved appearance and meaningful gaze, Roman's sword voice gradually became quieter.

It coughed lightly and shrank back in a daze.

Charlotte withdrew her gaze and looked to the other side:

"Albrecht, what are you going to do next?"

Opposite her, the black mist slowly coalesced, eventually changing into Albrecht's appearance.

"Your Majesty, Great True Ancestor, I plan to return to the Crescent Moon Kingdom to win over the bloodlines within the Order and continue to serve you!"

Albrecht looked serious and spoke respectfully.

Charlotte glanced at him with a smirk:

"This time, didn't you go to hide from Qingjing?"

Albrecht stiffened slightly, and said with a dry smile:

"You...... You're laughing. ”

Charlotte didn't press anymore.

She lazily changed her sitting position and nodded:

"Go, don't disappoint me, there's another new mission, I want you to investigate the artifact within the Blood Demon Order that can locate the pages of the cursed book, find it, and then ...... Get it. ”

"Locate the Hallows of the Cursed Pages?"

Albrecht raised an eyebrow.

He thoughtfully bowed to Charlotte:

"Your Majesty, Majesty the Great True Ancestor, obey your oracle ......"

With that, Albrech turned into black mist again and quickly dissipated.

Charlotte slowly withdrew her gaze.

She looked out the window at the approaching dock and her own fleet of boats that were already ready by the dock, and muttered:

"I'm going back this time...... You can fuse the idol with peace of mind. ”

……

On September 5, 1446 in the sacred calendar, Prince Henry, the crown prince of the Kingdom of the Falling Stars, was attacked and killed during the ceremony of the Romance Festival.

The Roman family's inherited artifact, the Roman sword, chased the murderer away and disappeared.

It is said that Prince Henry's assassin was an ardent supporter of the Red Lilac family, and is suspected to be related to the blood family.

After the news reached the falling star, the whole country was in an uproar.

……

The Kingdom of Falling Stars, the royal capital of Falling Star City.

In the royal bedroom, the strong smell of medicinal herbs was quite pungent, and the knights guarding the palace looked solemn and grim.

Maids in red and white uniforms gathered around the bed, carefully wiping the body of Edward III as he lay on the bed.

"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

The violent cough was intermittent, difficult and weak, and each cough would tug at the hideous wound on his chest, causing more red blood to spread between the white bandages.

The maids were in a hurry, looking at the unstoppable bloodstains, and their faces became more and more pale.

After a commotion, a middle-aged nobleman dressed as a knight entered the dormitory worriedly.

He came to the bed, looked at the old man on the bed with a withered and bloodless face, hesitated for a moment, and slowly retreated.

However, just as he was about to leave, Edward III suddenly opened his cloudy eyes and asked in a weak voice:

"Yes...... Samolette ......"

"Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty."

The middle-aged nobleman stopped and saluted respectfully towards the bed.

Edward III coughed violently a few more times and asked:

"Yes...... Are there any results from the investigation over there? ”

The middle-aged nobleman hesitated for a moment and looked around.

Edward III said weakly:

"You ...... Let's all get out. ”

The maids and knights hesitated, then saluted and retired, leaving only Edward III and the middle-aged nobleman in the palace.

Edward III struggled to support his body and wanted to sit up from the bed, but seeing this, the middle-aged nobleman hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped him up.

Gasping for breath for a moment, Edward III's cloudy eyes gradually flashed sharply:

"Say, Lady Samorlet, Henry...... How the hell did he die. ”

The middle-aged nobleman sighed and said:

"Already...... The preliminary results have been obtained, His Highness died from the unique magic of the Blood Clan, and according to our secret investigation, many of His Highness's entourage have been infiltrated by the Blood Clan......"

"Ahem...... cough cough cough ...... Bloodline! It's the Bloodline again! These haunted guys...... Ahem......"

Edward III coughed violently.

"Your Majesty!"

The middle-aged nobleman was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to call people over, but was stopped by Edward III:

"That's it, no need to shout, I know my physical condition...... I'm afraid it won't last long. ”

"Your Majesty......"

The middle-aged aristocrat looked worried.

Edward III shook his head and motioned for him to pour himself a glass of water, and only after he had taken a sip of water with difficulty did Edward III ask again, panting:

"Red Lilac over there...... What's going on? ”

The middle-aged nobleman hesitated for a moment and said:

"They have proposed to the parliament for the third time to re-establish the heir, and the parliament has passed the bill, and I am afraid that pressure will be put on the cabinet soon......"

Listening to the words of the middle-aged nobleman, Edward III sneered:

"Hehe, re-determine the heir...... Ahem...... It's nothing more than trying to seize the throne...... Ahem......"

"They...... Do you think I don't know? Without...... Ahem, there are those bloodlines behind them...... Ahem......"

"Hmph, for the sake of the succession to the throne, he actually colluded with the bloodline...... Ahem, how could I possibly hand over the falling star to such a person! cough cough cough ......"

"The united nobles prevented me from unifying the crescent, colluded with the blood clan to drug me, and now assassinated Henry...... These hateful creatures, don't even think of my throne! ”

"The more they try to get out of the church, the more I won't let them succeed! The more they want to get the throne, the more I have to disappoint them! Ahem...... cough cough cough cough ......"

Edward III's face was hideous, his expression was excited, and he couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood.

The middle-aged nobleman was taken aback, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty! You'd better lie down! I'm going to call the priest and the doctor......"

"No need."

Edward III shook his head.

He took a few deep breaths to calm his mind, and then asked:

"Roman...... What about the sword? ”

"There's no news yet."

"That niece of mine...... What's going on? ”

The middle-aged nobleman was silent for a moment and said:

"She has returned to the territory, and after investigation, she should not have anything to do with this assassination."

"However, it is not ruled out that she also has a relationship with the Bloodline, but considering her status in the Church, this possibility is very small."

"However, it is said that she was quite angry before leaving, and it seems that His Highness did not act according to the plan you told him and personally visited the Northlands, but changed the plan on his own initiative, and the so-called hijacking was indeed a fact, and His Highness even hired mercenaries from East Yunette......"

"We all seem to be underestimating her, and she was able to quell the rebellion in her realm and repel the invasion, and it wasn't just by luck that she was able to quell the rebellion in her territory."

After listening to the words of the middle-aged nobleman, Edward III's face was a little unpleasant:

"Hmph, did you listen to the slander of that guy from Conte again? I knew what he was worried about, he was worried that he was being stripped of his inheritance......"

"Stupid! What stupidity! He is my son after all, how can I deprive him of his inheritance! In the end, even his own life was put into it! cough cough cough ......"

Edward III was indignant, his brow full of disappointment.

With a light breath, he slowly closed his eyes, and only opened them again after a long time, his eyebrows full of resentment, madness, and mockery:

"Samolet ......"

"Your Majesty, I'm here."

"Listen to me...... Let's make an edict...... I said, you write ......."

"Your Majesty...... Are you going to ......"

"Ahem, ahem...... Heir...... It really needs to be established, since they care so much about bloodline, then ...... Then I'll give them ...... Set up a candidate who is 'in line with the rules and regulations'! ”

Edward III said with red eyes and gritted teeth.
