Forcing the Knights of the Kingdom out and successfully entering the royal palace made Charlotte earn a wave of prestige among the parliamentary nobles of the Falling Star Kingdom.

After the "audience", the nobles of the falling stars also retired one after another, which can be regarded as completing the welcome of the "queen".

It is worth mentioning that these nobles left behind all kinds of gifts before leaving, some of which were extraordinary materials that were special products of the Falling Star Kingdom, some were precious classics, some were luxury goods such as jewelry, and some were even directly a box of gold pounds.

It's a bit of a "filial piety" meaning.

It can be regarded as the tradition of the feudal nobility of Miria, when the nobles meet the lord, it is a common sense to bring some gifts, which can be regarded as a way to show loyalty.

Though...... In a sense, Charlotte is not really the queen of the falling stars at the moment.

Charlotte did not refuse these gifts, and accepted them all.

It's not that she's greedy.

But if she doesn't accept it, these Falling Star nobles who support her may have other thoughts, thinking about whether she is dissatisfied with herself, or dissatisfied with the gift, or something like that.

However, to Charlotte's nervousness, even High Priest Campbell even "offered" a gift - a spellbook that looked quite beautiful.

You must know that although this High Priest is only a Blazing Sun Strength Priest, he is the highest priest of the Divine Court in the Falling Star Kingdom.

"Praise be to the holy! Your Highness, this is a magic book that I got in my early years, it is said to have been left by the legendary mage Nicholas, the most genius in history, with a masterful magical ban on it, and it is rumored to hide the secrets of Nicholas's magical research. ”

"I heard that you like to collect these magic books on weekdays, especially as a gift for you to come to the falling star!"

High Priest Campbell spoke passionately.

Charlotte: ......

Nice:......

Charlotte couldn't help but glance at the black cat beside her, with a strange expression.

Ness, on the other hand, glanced curiously at the spellbook.

However, at this glance, its eyes widened instantly, and its humanized expression suddenly became extremely exciting.

It almost meowed, and subconsciously rushed out, trying to snatch the spell book and ...... Charlotte lifted the back of her neck and slipped back.

Well...... It seems to be genuine.

I just don't know what's written in it, which makes this guy Nice so excited.

Charlotte suddenly became curious about the magic book.

"Thank you for your gift, Your Excellency the High Priest."

She smiled and accepted the gift as well.

High Priest Campbell became even more enthusiastic.

After Charlotte forced the Kingdom Knights to retreat, the archpriest who felt that she was older than her deceased grandfather in her previous life, looked at her with excitement on her face:

"Your Highness, your arrival must be the guidance of my lord, under your leadership, the holy light will surely illuminate the darkness, and those ghosts hidden in the falling stars will be purified by the divine light!"

Charlotte: ......

Well, this is the power of a saint who completely takes the power she just showed as a saint.

However, it is also understandable that in addition to "purification" and "healing" in the divine arts of the Divine Court, the best thing is "spiritual".

Charlotte's retreat from the Kingdom Knights was due to the blood clan's innate magic "Spiritual Deterrence", and the High Priest, whose strength was only Blazing Sun, could not perceive the essence of the magic cast by Charlotte, who was already a demigod...... Instead, she took her power as the power of a saint.

In response to Campbell's praise, Charlotte also smiled back with a "pious" smile.

When she came by boat, she had already had an in-depth conversation with Earl Stafford, and to be honest, although the high priest had a transcendent status, he had very little energy in the falling star.

No, to be more precise, at a time when the Crescent Diocese of the Holy Royal Court is shrinking its power, and the Ness bloodline is secretly growing in power, the power of the church in the entire Falling Star Kingdom is very weak.

Compared to the pivotal position of the Crescent Kingdom, in the Kingdom of the Falling Stars, the power of the Church is more like a vassal of the Falling Star nobles, and the High Priest of Lyn Campbell is more like a crowned "rubber seal".

Otherwise, the Falling Star nobles would not have pinned their hopes on Charlotte's status as a "saint".

Because of their local Holy Royal Court Division, they can't count on it at all in the battle with the Blood.

The Crescent Diocese shrinks its forces and integrates internally, and it doesn't care about the situation in the Falling Star Kingdom at all, and the only variable is the "Wild Saintess" who is "approved" by Charlotte, the archpriest of the diocese.

So...... The attitude of the high priest Campbell also has a bit of a "hugging the thigh".

That gave Charlotte an idea.

Maybe...... She can also find a way to empty the church branch of the Falling Star Kingdom as she did in Castel.

After High Priest Campbell gave Charlotte the magic book, he stood aside.

And in addition to the high priest, several other nobles did not leave.

These include the Marquis Howard, the Governor of the Interior, the Earl Greenville-Roman, the court advisor, and the Earl of Stafford Stafford, the Chief Speaker of the Kingdom Parliament, who welcomed back Charlotte.

These four people can be regarded as the high-ranking nobles of the "parliamentarian" faction who supported Charlotte to inherit the throne in the Falling Star Kingdom.

Among them, Marquis Howard represents the court aristocratic force of the falling star, and it is also the new aristocratic force of the parliamentary faction; The Earl of Greenville-Romain represents the Romanes; Archbishop Campbell represents the Holy Court, as for the Earl of Stafford ...... On behalf of the parliamentarians, they supported Charlotte's powerful aristocracy.

However, Charlotte keenly noticed that several nobles did not seem to be interested in the high priest.

Although their attitude is also very respectful, but ...... It seems that it is only respectful.

Obviously, as the priest of the church, the Falling Star Kingdom is responsible for the coronation of the archpriest, but standing among several nobles, it seems to be a little transparent.

Obviously, the power of the Divine Court in the Falling Star Kingdom is much weaker than that of the Crescent Moon Kingdom.

And these fallen star nobles who supported Charlotte's succession to the throne and represented all the forces obviously reached some kind of agreement, and there was a little bit of common advance and retreat.

After there were only a few high-ranking stars left in the palace, the atmosphere in the palace also became faintly solemn.

The Earl of Stafford sighed softly and said to Charlotte:

"Your Majesty, it seems ...... There is a new variable, behind the Knights of the Kingdom is the power of the military, which represents almost the entire standing army of the Falling Star Kingdom. ”

"The Duke of West, the military governor, and the head of the Knights, Viscount Camden, may have been co-opted by the blood clan, gave up their neutral status, and decided to continue to support Duke Althea as the heir."

Charlotte glanced outside the palace and asked casually:

"Knights of the Royal Family...... Still out there? ”

"They've already evacuated, and their attempt to stop you from entering the palace has failed, and they shouldn't return

Here it is, after all...... Even if they don't recognize your throne, they can't erase your identity, they ...... Don't dare to do anything to you. ”

Marquis Howard said.

"Hmph, don't you dare to do anything to Your Majesty? Not necessarily. ”

Earl Stafford sneered.

Hearing his words, the other nobles looked surprised.

"Your Excellency, is it...... Did something happen? ”

Greenville-Roman Earl asked.

The Earl of Stafford looked at Charlotte, who gave him a look and nodded half-approvingly.

Given permission, the Earl of Stafford took a deep breath and said:

"On the way back to the Falling Star with His Majesty, we were attacked by the giant Kraken......"

After that, he informed several other people about everything that happened on the road.

Of course, he did not name who the attackers were.

Listening to Earl Stafford's words, several nobles looked shocked.

"Lilac nobles, are you crazy?! How dare you assassinate the Queen? ”

"Crime! It's a crime! Even if His Majesty is not crowned, this is a blatant crime! ”

The nobles were indignant.

Even the High Priest Campbell, who has a low sense of existence, has a serious expression and reprimands:

"God is above...... This is blasphemy! Blasphemy against the gods! He will be punished by the gods! ”

Earl Greenville-Roman nodded approvingly, then looked at Earl Stafford:

"Do you have an eyebrow about the identity of the assassin?"

The Earl of Stafford was about to speak, but Charlotte was the first to reply:

"Not yet, but ...... We've got some information, we're tracking it down, and we think the results will come soon. ”

Earl Stafford paused slightly, and quickly changed his words:

"Exactly."

The Earl of Greenville-Roman looked solemn:

"Your Majesty, the next round of negotiations on the succession to the throne will start in a week's time, and if we can find out who is behind it as soon as possible, maybe we will be able to win the support of some neutral nobles again, and the military will fall behind...... The current situation is somewhat unfavorable for us. ”

"I don't know if you can ask the Holy Court for help, if we can get the support of the Holy Court, we can have more leverage."

"War is a last resort, and now that the military's attitude has changed, if we go to war, I am afraid it will be extremely unfavorable to us......"

Charlotte nodded and said:

"War is indeed a last resort, and if I could, I would like to avoid it."

"On my side, we will continue to track down the real culprit behind the monster attack and enlist support beyond the falling stars, so please continue to work hard to win more supporters before the next negotiation begins."

……

After this first meeting, the high-level leaders of the falling star left with a heavy heart.

Although Charlotte has shown enough courage, it is clear that the situation of the supporters of the "Castel" faction is not good at the moment.

However, the Earl of Stafford did not leave immediately.

"Your Excellency, any more questions?"

Charlotte asked.

The Earl of Stafford hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Your Majesty, you have just ......"

"Why did you hide it just now, the assassins are actually the military governor, Duke West, and the head of the Knights, Viscount Camden, right?"

Charlotte went on with what he was not comfortable saying.

The Earl of Stafford bowed respectfully, in agreement.

Charlotte paused and asked rhetorically:

"Your Excellency, I remember you told me that you went to Castel this time to operate in secret, right?"

"So...... How did the news leak out? ”

Listening to Charlotte's words, Earl Stafford's eyes widened suddenly:

"You mean there is...... Mole?! ”

Charlotte nodded:

"It's not impossible."

Earl Stafford's face suddenly turned ugly.

Looking at his gloomy expression, Charlotte smiled:

"Your Excellency, don't worry too much, there are really flies, just find the other party."

Seeing Charlotte's unworried appearance, Earl Stafford's heart moved:

"Your Majesty, do you already have an idea?"

Charlotte bowed slightly:

"Yes, I'll take care of it, but ...... I need you to do something for me. ”

"Please command."

The Earl of Stafford said respectfully.

"Provide me with a detailed list of the Falling Star Nobles, and I want to have a fuller understanding of the situation in the Falling Star."

Charlotte said lightly.

……

The Earl of Stafford took the order and retired.

Charlotte sat alone on the throne.

To be honest, she didn't have much hope for the so-called throne negotiations, even if the Falling Star Kingdom had a tradition of "throne negotiations", she didn't think that the Lilac nobles with the support of the Ness blood clan would compromise with the parliamentarians.

She didn't expect these fallen star nobles either, and the solution to the problem still had to start from the root, and she planned to go directly to visit the Ness blood clan and meet "Bardock" later.

Of course, before that, she will also find out the traitors in the parliamentary faction.

It's not that the other party will pose much of a threat to her, but that she simply hates betrayal.

Charlotte easily took aside Nice, who was planning to steal the magic book while she was not looking, and then said to the air:

"Albrecht, come out to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless black bats flew in from all directions, converging in front of Charlotte, and finally transformed into the appearance of Albrecht, the Third Dark Apostle.

I saw that this legendary blood clan respectfully saluted Charlotte and said flatteringly:

"Your Majesty, Great True Ancestor, you finally remembered me."

Charlotte glanced at him and ordered:

"Keep an eye on the nobles just now, and watch their whereabouts, huh...... There is also the High Priest of Cambuur, who will report the situation to me as soon as possible. ”

"Obey your oracle."

Albrecht saluted again, and then vanished into countless bats.

And after Albrecht left, Charlotte finally looked at Nice, who was planning to take the magic book away while she was not looking.

She smiled and pulled the spellbook out of Nice's chubby cat's paws, and then looked at the reacting black cat with interest:

"Okay, now can you tell me what is written in this book that makes you care so much?"

Ness froze.

It chuckled dryly, its eyes wandering:

"Uh...... It's just some collection from your youth, it's all inconsequential stuff, Lord Charlotte, you're certainly not interested, that ...... Can you give it back to Nice? ”

"Collection?"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly, not believing in the nonsense of a certain black cat.

She chuckled, and her fingertips surged with divine power, directly breaking the prohibition on the magic book.

After a burst of light, the handwriting on the spellbook appeared, and a new title slowly emerged————
