Tome of Blood

The banquet at Earl's Mansion went fairly well.

Although there was an assassination in full view, and although Charlotte seemed to have done nothing, her purpose of formally meeting with the vassals was preliminarily accomplished.

Not only that, thanks to these nobles with MAX internal fighting ability, after a banquet, she has a lot of handles from various noble families in her hands.

It can only be said that the blood clan that infiltrated Castel's back was too hasty.

However, Charlotte knows this is just the beginning.

Although she has a preliminary understanding of the vassals in the territory, her authority has not yet been established.

No matter how the various noble families were infiltrated by the blood race, no matter how much everyone respected her at the banquet, the fact that the power of the Castel family has declined and the ambitions of the nobles have grown has not changed.

It's not all bad news, though.

The Ness clan hidden behind the scenes has come to the fore.

Although it is unclear what the other party will do next, at least Charlotte has vaguely guessed the purpose of the Ness clan infiltrating Castel.

As for how to beat the vassals, how to establish authority, and how to expel the power of the Ness clan, Charlotte also has further ideas...

"Great master, Sebas has let you down. The assassin used a magic scroll to take advantage of the loophole..."

Sebastian came back a little earlier than Charlotte expected, and showed up early the next morning.

As soon as the flame elf returned to the castle, he hurriedly came to plead guilty to her, his clothes were still wet, and there were even a few seaweeds on his head.

But even so, it did not delay his graceful kneeling and bowing his head gracefully.

Sebastian didn't ask why Charlotte didn't call him back directly.

Charlotte didn't mention it either.

In fact, she didn't have anything to mention. It couldn't be said that she didn't want to consume extra blood power, and she estimated that the assassin's strength would not pose a threat to her, so she didn't summon him, right?

As for Sebastian... Judging by the fearful look on his face, he probably took Charlotte's non-calling as dissatisfaction with him.

One thing to say, it's a bit embarrassing for a transcendent at the peak of the second level of Silver Moon to be overshadowed by an assassin who hasn't even entered the level.

"You are indeed a little slack. You should be more cautious in your actions in the future, and don't underestimate any enemy."

Charlotte said lightly.

Sebas's head drooped even lower:

"Great master, I will keep this lesson in mind and will never do it again in the future."

"Okay, I won't mention this matter anymore. Since you are back, then... you must have heard about Maddock, right?"

Charlotte took a sip of the steaming sweet milk and asked.

"Already... I heard what Nis said."

Sebastian replied.

But that expression somewhat tinged with gnashing of teeth, especially when Nice's name was mentioned.

Looking at his expression, Charlotte almost guessed what happened.

I'm afraid that after Nisi took her order, he turned around and went to the door of the Earl's Mansion to watch Sebas and laugh at him when he came back.

These two guys... would never miss the right opportunity to throw stones at each other.

"Now that you know it, it's easy to say. I have already located the coordinates of the blood earl. I order you to immediately organize a team to investigate. If necessary, you can call for my arrival!"

Charlotte looked serious and authentic.

Sebastian looked serious, and lowered his head respectfully:

"Follow your will."

"Okay, let's go down. When we go out, call Viscount Len-Castel in. I've seen him go around many times below."

Charlotte glanced at the small square downstairs and said.

"As ordered."

Sebastian saluted and took his leave respectfully.

Not long after, Viscount Leon-Castle tremblingly entered the study with the help of the maid.

"Master Earl!"

As soon as the old Viscount came in, he knelt down and bowed down.

His eyes were red, and there were big dark circles around them, obviously he hadn't had a good night's rest.

Thinking about it, too, not to mention Madoc's betrayal that the nobles didn't know about, the assassin's sneak attack last night was carried out in full view.

Although it was not a member of the Len Castell family who shot, the accusation against Len Castell when the assassin showed up finally pushed them to the forefront...

Some things, said in private and said publicly, have completely different effects.

In any case, since what happened last night, the old Viscount must come to his lord to explain.

"Get up, I know why you're here, but even if you don't come, I plan to call you over again."

Charlotte said.

"My lord! I really don't know about the assassination! About the blood race... I do have a relationship with the blood race, but you know, I'm also pretending to be a snake, the purpose is to dig out their purpose, I... I'm right Castel's loyalty is undiminished!"

The old Viscount said excitedly, his voice became a little incoherent.

Charlotte nodded slightly, and said gently:

"I know, I never doubted Len Castel's loyalty."

"My lord..."

The old Viscount was moved.

"However... I also got some other information, all related to the Leon-Castel family."

Charlotte changed the subject, picked up a stack of parchments from the desk, handed it to the maid Shirley who was accompanying her, and motioned for her to deliver it to the old Viscount.

Those parchment scrolls recorded the information that other families reported to Lien Castel.

The old Viscount took it tremblingly, and browsed it suspiciously. As he browsed, his eyes gradually widened and trembled slightly:

"Slander! This is slander! My Leon-Castell family has never done anything like this!"

"Oh? Really haven't done it?"

Charlotte's eyelids drooped, and her expression was slightly cold. At the same time, she mobilized the divine power of blood, directly arousing the power of the prestige technique to put pressure on the second-level silver moon viscount in front of her.

At that moment, Viscount Leon Castel only felt a supreme power erupting from Charlotte.

Obviously, he didn't feel any power beyond Fanxing from the girl in front of him, but he felt a sense of fear for no reason.

"I……"

The old Viscount swallowed, and his scalp felt numb.

"Okay, no need to explain."

Charlotte interrupted the other party:

"Your Excellency Leon-Castel, I believe in your loyalty, but... as you said, the influence of the blood race has penetrated into every aspect of the territory. I think not everyone in the Leon-Castle family is like You still have your heart."

"Many things in this information are easy to verify, and I'm afraid they can't stand the verification. Castel's aristocratic family needs to be rectified, and the Leon-Castel family is no exception."

"A lot of the information here is enough for me to deprive your family of your title, but I don't intend to do that."

"Because I believe in you, Lord Viscount, the Leon-Castel family is the most loyal family among the three Viscounts. I believe that even if the things recorded on it are related to the Leon-Castel family, it is by no means you. order, but those blood clans who infiltrated into the Leon-Castel family are obstructing it."

"To show you these materials, I have only one purpose, and that is to order you to rectify the family!"

"The past has passed, and from now on, I don't want to see similar things happen in the territory again!"

"My lord..."

The old Viscount was moved.

And Charlotte continued:

"Of course, the reason why I trust you so much is also because you gave me an early warning."

"Now that the banquet is over, I can tell you something frankly. In fact, before the banquet, I already knew that there would be an assassin's move."

The old Viscount was stunned for a moment:

"You...you know?!"

"I have my own intelligence channels."

Charlotte said lightly.

The old Viscount hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking:

"Then why do you..."

"Why is there still a banquet?"

Charlotte glanced at the other party and said calmly:

"Because I'm also looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to find out the people behind the scenes!"

As she spoke, she chuckled lightly and said:

"Actually, it went well. There are only you and me here. I can tell you something."

"Your Excellency, the Viscount, in fact, the Blood Race of the Fallen Star Kingdom has been infiltrating various families in Castel. Last night's assassination...the mastermind behind the scenes is also them."

"However, last night's assassin was not their real killing move. In fact, after I left the venue last night, they carried out another attack on me."

"You...you were attacked again?"

The old Viscount widened his eyes.

"It's okay, I can stand here and talk to you, it means that everything has been resolved."

Charlotte nodded and said.

Then, she smiled again:

"Your Excellency, do you know why I have to tell you so much?"

The old Viscount hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head respectfully:

"Subordinate...don't know."

"Because I have a task that I need you to do, more precisely, I need you, the Leon-Castel family, to do it."

Charlotte said with a solemn expression.

Viscount Leon-Castle's expression turned serious:

"Please signal that the Leon-Castel family will go all out!"

"I want you to form a review team to review every noble family in the Castel Territory, and find out all the fallen star blood clans in the territory!"

Charlotte said lightly.

"Interview...examine all noble families?!"

The old Viscount widened his eyes.

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

Charlotte's eyelids drooped.

"Lord Earl, I'm afraid there is a real problem... If you want to review all the noble families, it may cause dissatisfaction among the vassals, and it may shake the foundation of the territory..."

"In particular, the blood race behind the scenes is so arrogant, and their power is probably beyond our imagination... They will definitely not sit back and censor the action."

The old Viscount said bravely.

"If you are worried about the blood clan behind the scenes, you can rest assured that in the next period of time, I am afraid that they will all have no leader and be too busy to take care of themselves."

Charlotte chuckled.

"A group of dragons without a leader?"

The old Viscount was taken aback for a moment.

Charlotte nodded slightly, took a sip of the sweet milk, and said calmly:

"The blood clan that infiltrated Castel is the Ness clan, one of the six major clans of the blood clan, and the organizer behind the scenes is a Blood Earl named Lachlan Ness."

"It was the Earl of Blood who attacked me again last night!"

Saying that, Charlotte smiled and looked at the old Viscount:

"And he...is dead now."

"Dead? An Earl of Blood... dead?"

The old Viscount was stunned again.

Charlotte did not explain further, but pointed to the pile of sheepskin scrolls in front of the desk:

"As for whether other noble families will object... Heh, if they really want to object, then show them these things."

"I have just succeeded to the throne. To be honest, I don't want to go to war. I just hope that all families can abide by their hearts and be loyal to me, but if there are really people who don't have eyes..."

Charlotte's expression turned cold, and said:

"I don't mind entrusting some new nobles."
